We saw sneering paragraph in an exam
changes few days since, stating Gen. McClell
was on his way home, and the paper seemed
to speak as though its mention fthe fact was
condescension for which. the general should
be very grateful, saving him, as it undonbted-
ly did, from the ignominy of forgetfulness
Party spite has done its worst for the gene
raj, who, by nearly two million of unbiased
votes, attested the affectionate regard of the
people of the north in 1864. But for some
unfortunate streaks in the platform on which
he stood, he would have been elected these,
and the soldiers vote" that was prelude to
sutfragetinkering that has been pursued.
since, defeated him. 1t was well, doubtless,
that it should be no. But there was never can

he. lrreproachable as soldier, whose con-

mainly, which sought to win rather by wait

truction by rash progress, he stood before
the people the best man for their suffrages
that could be selected, and retired from the
unfair contest without whit of his popular
ity impaired For his public services, the
unanimous thanks of congress were sufh-

with his entire withdrawal from public life,
would be sufficient to secure him immunity
from such attacks as have followed him to
the old world, and of which the one named

for many that newspaper structures are not

The Port Byron Exhibition Club---The.. Union
and It's Criticisms.

EDITOR OF THE ARGUS, Dear SIR In
looking over the columns of the Rock Island
& Moline Union, of Friday last, noticed
that the editor had made us another visit, it
being on the last night of the performance
of the Port Byron Exhibition Club, and on
returning home he has given the public an
unfavorable opinion of the exhibition.
The evenings entertainment consisted of
music, defamation, and dramas, with Prof.
Fowler, of LeClaire, at the organ, assisted
by his glee club, which sang several solos,
Duets, and choruses. Miss Hardy, and also
Miss Graham sang solos between the dram
as.
As the object for which the club is labor
ing is laudable, it was to be hoped that their
efforts would be favorably noticed, or at
least impartislly criticised but, on the con
trary, through the whole article in the Rock
Island & Moline Union, there seemed to run
a vein of caustic irony, as though the editor
had some personal dislike to ventiiate.
Beginning with the audience, among
which were some Of our oldest and most re-
spectacle citizens, he characterized 1t as be-
ing composed largely of the juvenile ele-
ment-saying that "the Juveniles monopo-
lized most of the hail. l can account for
his error in no other way than that, in his
eagerness to get a good seat, he pushed for
ward to the extreme front, where the boys
had already preceded him, and then labored
under the impression that wherever he was
there also must be the most wisdom and, con
sequently, the most age.
The front of the audience was made up of
Young people, and the rear of elderly peo-
pie.
He says that the drama, "We're all Teto-
talers," was good and well performed thro'-
out-especially the character taken by Mr..
E. Ell. Hobart. But in the comedy of"Syl-
Was Soldier he says that Miss Graham,
Miss Julia Rowe, and G. A. Metzgar per-
formed their parts exceedingly well, and
concludes by advising the gentleman who
played Horace Lyford" never to attempt
the role of n soldier or lover again, and says
che can neither make love nor play sol
der"
IF it was because, in the part of Horace,
he did not in his conception of the part he
had undertaken to perform, clothe it in all
the fulsomeness and sickening ordinations
of the fair sex which characteriZes every ar
ticle in which women figure in the Union,
since it has come under its present manage
ment, then / must concede that he did make
a most decided failure. But, in my opinion,
if he made any mistake at all, it was in try
ing to treat the lady who was on the stage
with due respect.
In the duty of the soldier, ssHorace" has
nothing to learn from either of the editors of
the Union, he having served four years in
the army, under General Hatch, as good an
officer as the state of Iowa ever had in the
field. II.
