dictation of party managers. Any party
thus controlled must go to the wall. No
such injustice win be tolerated by the peo-
pie, and those who practice will go under, at
last g "a . "a 80
The radical senate not only rejected Capt
Copp, at the dictation ofthe isdicai leaders
in Rock Island, but they also rejected two
other soldiers of equally good record, VIZ !:
Maj. Connolly and Col. Williams. No good
reason can be assigned why either of the
three should not be confirmed. All are
capable, honest and faithful.
Maj. Connolly (of the 18th Cavalry was a
splendid soldier, often in battle, and always
brave and true. He received the highest
praise from all. He is a good lawyer, and
popular among the people. Why was he
rejected? Because the radical clique in
Rock Island ordered It done. "a.
Col. Williams (of the 89th Ill. Infantry
was the first man to volunteer in Rock Island
county. He raised two companies in very
few days; was Major of the 18th, and after
his term expired opened his law Office in this
city. But he could not keep out of the
fight, and he raised another company, joined
the seth, was made its Lieut.. Colonel gal.
lantly led the regiment in every battle; was
houorably mustered out, and returned to the
duties of his profession in Rock Island. Why
was he rejected? Because the radical clique
in Rock Island ordered it. aF s
Rock Island county cannot boast of three
soldiers who were superior to Capt. Copp,
| Maj. Connolly and Col. Williams, Sand they
were all rejected by radical senate, at tbs
dictation of the radical leaders Of Rock Is
land. No party can survive such injustice
to brave men who stoo, like wall, between
| rebel bullets and those they left behint
| them.
1t is proper also to add that the Post Mas
| ter General was consulted as to what would
be done with the post Office, should the sen
ate adjourn without confirming post mas
| ter, and answer was received that the office
would probably be closed. The democrats
of this city therefore concluded, If they
| could not get democratic soldier confirm
ed, that they would not follow the factious
course of the radicals, but would ask thu
President to recommend an unobjectionabl'
republican, which was done. The demo
crrts of Rock Island are willing to plac
their record side by side with that of the rad
icals, and let the people judge which part
acted for the public good, and which aete'
the part of factious partizans.

Japanese Acrobats at the White House.

imperial Japanese troupe of tumblers
visited the white house to-day, at halfpast 2
o'clock, and had a very interesting interview
with the President. The troupe, composed
of twelve men, two women, three boys and
a girl, were accompanied by Professor John
Risley, the manager; Edward Banks, inter
prefer, and formerly Interpreter of the Amer
lean legation at kanagwa; and Messrs.
James McColgan and c. A. Mclaughlin
The President received them in the room
used by him as an Office, the japanese visi
tors having previously left their sandals out
side the door. On entering the room where
the President stood to receive them, they ad
vanced slowly, in a low, STOPPING posture,
with their arms folded over their heads, and
manifested the most marked reverence and
humility. Having all entered the apartment,
they seated themselves in row upon the
| floor cross-legged, but did not venture to
| look towards the President, except by side
| long glances, until informed by the interpre
| ter that they might rise and look upon the
President, whereupon they rose respectfully
| and gazed at the chief magistrate long and
earnestly. Each individual was introduced
| to the President by name, the interpreter
stating his or her former occupation in ia
| pan. The President received them in a
very cordial manner, which seemed to fill
the orientals with pleasure and surprise
| The president was especially attentive to lit
tie All Right, took him by the hand several
times, and conversed with him through the
interpreter, All Right replying with great
promptness. The young tnmbler seemed to
be the first of the party to recover his self
possession, and evinced disposition to cul
tivate the acquaintance of the President in
the shortest time possible. The Presiden,
accompanied the troupe through all the
rooms in the mansion, and explained tc
them everything that attracted their atten
ton. One of the women, true to her sex
for close observance, beheld the large punch
bowl of Japanese manufacture which stands
on the table in the green parlor. This dis
covery afforded the party the most lively
qualification, and led to inquiries as to how
the bowl, and several other articles of furni
ture from Japan, could have found their way
into the house of the great American tycoon
They manifested considerable surprise at see
ing carpets laid to walk upon, and would
not enter room without first slipping of
their sandals. At parting, when the Presi
dent took each by the hand and wished thei
stay in the country might prove both pleas
ant and profitable, they retired excedingl.

agreeable singularity of American customs
