The Turner Ball.

EDITOR OF THE ARGUS, Dear Sir AS
you were SO kind as to allow me a little
space in your paper, about two weeks ago, to
call attention to what thought needed cor
rection, l presume you viii not refuse me a
word as to the Turner Masquerade Ball, last
evening. This was really masquerade
ball. The other was enormously spoken of
as such, and the word masquerade" should
not have been used in connection with it.
/ attended the masquerade, given by the
Turner's, last evening, and during the time
was there, was pleased to see that every
thing was conducted with that good taste the
Turner's know so well how to exhibit.
i congratulate the Turner's on the excel
lent management of last evening, and repeat
what | said before, that l wish to see my
countrymen maintain their ancient fame for
good manners, and devotion to refined and
intellectual amusements and set such an
example as gentlemen should follow-such
as our families viii derive a benefit from,
and refer to with pride.
had no personal object to subserve in
my first communication,-and / have none
such in this. My only object was and is the
improvement of my countrymen, and the ell
ovation of society. And, in this free and en-
lightened country, am happy to see that
the press, that powerful engine for good or
evil, can be used for ameliorating the condi-
ton and improving the minds and manners
Of all. EXCELSIOR.

Love for the Soldiers.

The Washington correspondent ofthe Gin
cinnati Commercial comments upon the re-
lection by the senate of Colonel Langdon,
and says:
Col. Basset Langdon has been rejected a
second time as assessor of the first district at
Cincinnati. There is personal malice at the
bottom of this-nothing else. Col. Langdon
was good soldier, and deserved better treat
ment than he has received at the hands Of the
senate. The "loyal' stay-at-homers have
bounded him out of his place. Let them
keep on.
Most of the reflections of the senate thus
far have been of men who did good service
in the war-one or two of them were shot all
to pieces in it. But then, you know, there
are more things in modern loyalty than our
philosophy ever dreamed of. Thus, "Gener-
all Ashley is loyal soldier; so is "Gener{
all Butler; SO is Colonel Forney. But
Grant is more than suspected of treason ;
and as for ''Cump." Sherman, why he is a
rank copperhead,
Concerning Bingham he writes:
John A Bingham is mentioned as another
candidate for governor of Ohio, whether with
or without his consent do not know. He
would make a good governor, at any rate,
but by the beard of the prophet, he isn't
loyal either, they say, since he defeated Thad.

Rates Of Terriage.

The Union says the people of Moline are
interested in the Rock Island ferry, and that
if the city gets the charter, and realizes a
good bonus for its lease to some proper per
sons, "they 1.-THE people of Moline will be
compelled to pay a large portion of the
amount in increased rates Of toll" This is
a very "far-fetched" conclusion, and has no
foundation in fact
The board of supervisors fix the rates of
toll, and Robinson l. Co. run the majority of
the board of supervisors, and, having con.
WINGED majority of the board that they are
doing a very poor business, they have al
ready got the tolls up so high that the peo-
pie are now clamoring for reduction.
In order to show the people how and
where this was done, we addressed note to
the county clerk, this morning, asking for a
certified copy of the proceedings, and re-
ceived the following in reply:

The Solid Men Opposed to I'm
parchment.

A New York correspondent writes as fol-
lows:
A southern gentleman, who has Just re-
turned to NewY ork from a trip through Mas
saehusetts, reports a strong feeling there
against impeachment. He conversed with a
number of manufacturers and merchants and
found that nearly all were opposed to definite
action Ashley's resolution. A similar
feeling is gowing up In New York, especially
among merchants and capitalists. 1t is
shared by many leading republicans, who,
being gifted with more sagacity than their
followers, see the disastrous effect that i'm
parchment would have on every Interest,"
In counting houses, banks, hotels, in fact
wherever the subject is dicussed by in
telhgent men, this new revolutionary
programme is condemned. Republicans
who threw the whole weight of their
influence against Mr.. johnson in the fall
elections, who were even vindictively bitter
IN denouncing him, now range themselves,
not exactly in his defence, but against de.
stroylng every particle of business and polit-
real confidence by impeaching him. The
great dread of the impeachment of the Pres
dent would be the beginning of the disinte-
grating process. Revolution after reyolu.
ton would follow, and the country would
hnaliy be brought down to a condition but
little better than that of Mexico. Goveyn.

A Joyful Party.
"Glad am we an dats a fac
For VERY long he's tarried."

Nigger Song.
For several weeks past, we have noticed
that our republican friends have been in a
state of excessive good humor-their most
beaming smiles have illuminated their coun-
tenances, and their general conduct, when
greeting each other, has been full of playful
freshness there seemed to be in the heart of
every one ofthem volcano of gladness with
an eruption under full Roadway.
Our curority being excited, we made bold
to enquire the cause of such unusual mirth-
fulness, and the reply "We've got rid of
that d-n fool, Barnes, and have now de-
cent paper gave the kew their glee.
No more shall we wonder at the daily jig
danced at the county clerks Office, by Jim.
Beardsley and Judge Wilson; nor stand
amazed at the affecting sight of Devoe and
DR.. Gait wrapped in one fond embrace" :;
nor feel astonished that the usually grave
and thoughtful faces of DIR. Truesdale and
Ex-Postmaster Hawley Barnes once tried to
get the post offce) should be wreathed with
smiles.
Says Tom Thornton-taking short black
pipe from his mouth-"Bedad, Bromley, it
was lucky day when that blatherskite,
BARNES, sold out
"Hah,' replies Bromley, re was a lawful
hass.'
An immense sigh of relief went mp from
the methodist church, where Barnes appeared
every Sunday, with his hair plastered meekly
down, and where he would drop on his knees
in true Pecksnifian style, blow his nose and
resume his scat, with tA~~ ~h;~h Ti>~n~a
The solemn visaged owl, and the following
morning go to his office and curse the work
men.
Poor barnes! despised alike by friends
and foes, isolated in crowd, with mo one
to love"-how we pity you! In fact we be-
lieve we are the only one in this county who
regrets your departure you did US great ser
vice during election times. until your party
friends, tired and disguised with your ''bull
headedness, took the management of the
last city election out of your hands, course
which resulted in the election of republican
MAYOR, for the first time during your editori-
al career in Rock Island.
We send our congratulations to the repub-
licans of Dubuque, on their acquisition, and
at the same time desire to caution the wash
erwomen of that enterprising city against
opening accounts with the new editor of the
Dubuque Times.
