A small squad Of people in Henry county
seem to greatly exercised in regard to who
shall be our next circuit judge. They all
swear it must be a Henry county man, and
they don't think Rock Island county ought to
say a word as to who the candidate shall be
About dozen Henry county lawyers want
it, and the second choice of every one o
them is George W. Peasants of this county
We are quite Indifferent as to who the mar
shall be or where he shall live, but we reall!
think that qualification for the place ismucf

dealer received pay for a steer which he had
sold to butcher, and, rolling the greenbacks
into small wad, put them into his tobacco

The radical United States senate

The radical United States senate rejected
Mr.. Coolidge, for post master at Warsaw,
Hancock county. Coolidge was nominated
> by the President, and the senate supposing,
from that fact, that he was conservative,
rejected him, because the radical senators
wanted to insult and annoy the President
Such was the motive from which senators
acted; but finding that Coolidge was radi-
cal they reconsidered the vote and then con-
frmed him because he is radical. They
insist that the President shall not appoint
his friends to Office, but that, in all eases, he
shall appoint their partizan friends and has
enemies. Now the country can see whether
any considerations of patriotism, or of pub
lie good, actuate such men, in so responsi-
BILE position; or whether they prostitute
their high office to CRAFTY the meanest and
most malignant feelings of the human heart.

olution of Senator Wilson to try JEFF. Davis,
or release him, says: "J'. ,..
On what ground any republican can de-
sire the continuance of this hideous burlesque
on formal law we cannot, nor do we care to
divine. We cannot keep Davis on our hands
always but it is possible for us to hold him
a military prisoner, surrounded with compe-
tent civil tribunals ON every hand, sufficient
ly long to render him the object of popular
sympathy, and to obscure the popular sense
of his crimes, now growing dim. The long
er we hold him, the more difficult it will be
to get rid of him, except in a manner which
will be repugnant to all common sense ant
sense of justice, and violate about every Law
enacted for the protection or punishment o
the citizen and for the maintenance of tn,
public virtue and veal.

NEW York, Nov. IS.-The Tribune's
special says Thad. Stevens informed
ii gentleman who called on him to-day
that he feels stronger al present than he
has felt at any time during the last i've
years.
He also stated that he is in receipt of
letters from all parts OF the country en-
dOrsing the financial views he put
forth in his recent letter.
Though 1t is denied that Mr.. Stan
berry wrote the opinion against the re-
assembling OF Congress this month, It
Is known, however, that the article
came from the Attorney Generals Of
fee, and that 1t reflects the views both
of Mr.. Stanbery and Mr.. Johnson on
the subject.
During the recent session of the q.
S. Circuit Court, no attempt was made
either by the Government or the cOun-
sci for JEFF Davis to bring on the trial
of that gentleman, and it therefore can
not take place until the next regular
term, which commences on the last
Monday of the present month. It Is
possible that the CHIEF Justice may at
tendon that day, but he will be Obliged
to return TO Washington the same week
to preside at the opening Of the regular
annual term ofthe Supreme Court the
following Monday.
The Herald's special says the garrison
of Washington has been considerably
reinforced within the past week or two
and it now forms a military post of
more important strength than it ever
did before in time of peace. Anxious
inQuirers learn that It is because the
troops can be furnished better winter
quarters there than elsewhere.
The Worlds special says the Repub-
lican Senators and Representatives who
have arrived here, express their deter
mination to stand by the reconstruc-
ton measures, and maintain that IL n
majority OF the white men of the South
stand aloof and take no part in cleo
tions then they are in favor of placing
the governing power in the hands of
negroes and the few whites who act
with them.
Both the President and Secretary Nc
Culloch are in favor OF ShermAn's pro-
posed 5 per cent. loan bill.
The Times special says: The
muster-out of Major General Sickles
leaves him with his lineral rank OF Col.
of the 44th United States Infantry Vet
ran Reserve Corps, and Brevet Major
General in the regular army. His regi.
ment is stationed in this city, and II
he should be assigned to duty according
to his brevet rank here, he would be in
very close proximity to his Excellency.
It Is probable that Congress will call
for the correspondence between the
President and General SickleS, on the
subject of the lAtter's application for a
court oflnquiry, which application was

Committee was in full session to-day
on the subject of reports in the i'm

There is no prospect of another trial
of John II. Surratt. 1t may possibly
take place, however, in January and
February.
|. 1t is ascertained from official sources
that JEFF. Davis Is to be tried on the in
dictment now pending.
The Navy Department received from
Admiral Farragut report of his recep-
ton at Plymouth, England, and his
subsequent arrival at Lisbon. He has
been everywhere greeted with the great
est kindness and courtesy.

lished a card denying that he is the au-
thor of the article affirming the illegal
ity of the extra session of Congress.
The article was signed by his initials.
Hence the mistake.
