PLAYED OUT.-Wilson, Of Massa-

PLAYED OUr.-Wilson, of Massa-
chusetts, in the Senate the other day,
rebuked the small-beer demagogues of
his party, who talk of the 'red-handed
rebels and the "Andersonville star
vation,' and "cruelties to negroes,
and such like stuff. He told them that
was all well enough during the war,
but now those phrases were played out,
and no body used them but demagogues
of the lowest character and caliber.
Hit them again.

The culture of Sorghum has of late
years become quite extensive in the
Western and Northwestern States,
and has proved very profitable to those
engaged in it. During the war it was
introduced into this Valley, and in
some counties was extensively cultiva-
ted, and yielded largely. Being very
profitable it has attracted general at
tention, and is destined to become one
of our fixed staples of agriculture,
when its qualities arc more extensively
known. The yield of Syrup from an
acre of cane ranges from one hundred
to two hundred gallons, which will pay
a much handsomer profit than an acre
Of corn. The great drawback to q
more extensive culture of the cane in
this county, heretofore, has been the
want of proper facilities for manufac-
turing it into syrup. We are glad to
learn that efforts are being made by
several gentlemen living near Swan
Pond, in this county, to organize
Joint Stock Company for the purpose
Of q, manufacturing Sorghum Syrup.
They propose erecting steam mill for
the purpose Of grinding the cane and
reducing the juice to syrup, and thus
force a much larger yield, and better
quality, than by the ordinary mills now
IN use. The enterprise should be ell
conraged, and we hope will prove sue
cess.

THE Union says the ARGUS Encouraged
the saloon and billiard men to persist in
their traffic and stand suit against the town
authorities" in Moline. The Union does
not tell the truth. The ARGUS gave no ad.
vice on the subject.
The radical party of Moline made the SUBJ
ject of suppressing beer and billiard saloons
an issue at the last election, and on that is
sue elected their ticket by small majority.
The radical party then commenced proseeu-
tons against saloons, the saloon men defend
ed, and, so far, the radical authorities have
got one judgement for ten dollars. The peo-
| pie of Moline will have nice bill of costs,
| attorneys fees, &c, &c, to pay, one of these
days, for electing a radical temperance tick.
ct in Moline.
The Union says the ARGUS sis laboring to
make unthinking men believe that the pres
ent town officers of Moline are illegally elect
ed" 1t don't require any labor, for there is
no doubt about it. The radical authorities
| attempted to prosecute a man for Illegal vot-
| ing, at the last election, but failed because,
among other reasons, they had had no legal
election.
The Union says "Judge Peasants decid-
ed that the town charter and the ordinances
made in accordance with it are valid and
binding" Who claimed otherwise? No one
that we ever heard of. No one ever disput-
ed the validity of the act Incorporating the
town, that we have heard of /; or of any or
dinance ''made in accordance rith it,"
The Union says "the present officers of
Moline were elected as all others have been"
No they were not. They were not elected
when the charter required them to be elect
ed.
The Union says ''their official acts will be
| maintained by the courts" That depends a
good deal upon what their official acts have
been or may be. We doubt whether the
| Union is authorized to announce, before.
hand, what 'the courts" will do-unless ii
may be Moline court.
The Union seems to be very anxious to
find some hole for the radical temperance
party in Moline to crawl out of. The Uaaion
will fail in its effort. The liberal people now
have that party in q corner, and there is nc
| hole for it to get out.
The radical temperance party in Moline is
wholly responsible for forcing the issue Of
suppressing beer and billiard saloons upon
the people. The radical temperance party
| in Moline commenced the suits, and cannot
| by any quibbling of the Union, avoid the re
sponsibility.

A GOOD DEAL MIXED Yesterday a
young gentleman in this city started for
Hampton, with horse and buggy, to find an
acquaintance who was on q steamer which
was putting her way slowly up the rapids
When near Hampton he saw what he sup
posed to be steamer and hired man with
skif. to go on board and get his friend
He watched the steamer and the skiff until
he thought they were within few feet of
each other, when things became so kind of
s'blurry" and confused that he couldn't tell
one from the other, and was in a good deal
of doubt whether he was on foot or on horse
back The result was that he failed to see
his friend, and hired man to accompany
him home. At last accounts he was contriv.
ing how to get his guide back to Hampton
We believe Geo. Copp solved the matter by
sending horse and buggy to take the mar
home.

Peoria, and who had been stopping at the
Rodman House for sometime, proposed to 60
to Peoria and asked to leave a portion of
his bill (about $50 unpaid until he returned.
Mr. Hutchins, the landlord declined to let
him have his baggage until his bill was paid
in full. The result was fracas over the
baggage, in which Mr.. Hutchins lost q finger
nail, but kept the baggage. In the melee
Purdy drew knife to attack Hutchins, but
it was seized By the 'buss driver and taken
away from him, but afterwards returned to
him.
Purdy was arrested on warrant issued by
Magistrate Connolly, on complaint of Mr..
Hutchins, and fined 81 and costs in all
some $12. or Sl3.) for disturbing the peace,
which he paid and thus the matter remain
