railroad bridge at Dubuque, the masonry
for which was built by this firm, Is an eVs'
dence of what they can do, That p''oge
has I piers and abutments, ana TINS one
will probably have the same lhey com.
msncad on tba, work about the middle of
June. and the last stone was laid on the
18th Of this month. They had until Dec. !
70 somplete the work, and no one thought
they could complete it within that time.
But the work was completed in months
a month and half before the contract time,
and all who have seen it pronounce il one OF
the finest Jobs Of the kind ever seen in the
west. The Dubuque Times says:
"Mcsus Reynolds, Saulpaugh Co. deserve
much credit for the expeditions manner win
| which they have performed their work Tue
last stone on the last pier has been lald' N'tn
| ing now remains TO be finished but the iron work
and the tunnel and the latter is so far under way
| that cars will be crossing by the first day OF
January. Twothirds Of tao draw pier IS also
completed, and all the necessary iron is now on
| the ground
We doubt not that Gen. Rodman will take
into consideration the fact that the people
want this bridge at the earliest possible day
and adopt such course in its construction
as will subserve the interests Of all con
Cerued.

THE Union says the Coal Valley people
hired Blairs band for their meeting on Sat
urday and paid cash for their services We
are glad to hear it. After so excellent an
example, wouldn't it be well for the republi'
cans to try and raise the $50 they still owe
the band for playing for the G. A. Rs. when
they had their Logan meeting here two
years ago? The band refused to play for
the republicans of Rock Island because they
are still in debt to them.
And while the RAIDS are about it, would
it not be we'll 10 raise enough to pay
the band for playing for them when they
went to Camden with their leather aprons
this summer? The band would BIO yer,
glad to receive these little balances as sooI
as the republicans can raise the money.
There is also bill Of $40 due Davenpor
band by the Rock Island RAIDS which the
would Ike to take greenbaeks for.
Pay your bills gentlemen. Don't allow th
men who played for you to go unpaid.

aud quiet, as Is his duty, provoked a row
with Tim Dolsy, near Union Square, Sun
dav evening, about o'clock, bringing a
big crowd around, and then, taking advan'
tape of his position as policeman, assault
cd Doley; but finding he was likely to get
tho worst of it he sounded his whistle for
help. The Marshal came to his relief, and
after hearing Condon's false statement in re-
gard to the affair, took Tins word for his
appearance at court the next morning
Tim appeared according to agreement, and
was about to take a change of venue from
Highly to Magistrate Connolly, when Con
don, finding that he was the one who would
according to the evidence, get fined, instead
of Tim, persuaded Tim to drop the case
The Marshal, on hearing the facts, denounc
ed Condor as having told him williuI ne
last night, and then told him that he would
get fined and ought to be fined. And yet May

pense of the tax payers OF this city They
know that he has been often found asleep
on his watch; that GU one occasion, when
bs was asleep on duty, his boots were taken
and carried away, and delivered to the May
or,-and yet they keep such man on the
police, at the expense Of the tax payers
They know that more serious charges still
can be made (which we forbear to speak o
now) against this man, aud yet they keeI
him on the police, at the expense OF thu
peope-probably because they are afraid h
will vote against them if they turn him out
That's the way the machine is run, in this city
under radical rule. How do the tax payer
like it? How do the people who expect
night watchman to do his duty in protectin
their property, like it2
We think Tim should have prosecute

The Union says, "The ARGUS was
ashamed to hang out its Seymour and Blair
banner last Saturday. The editors Of the
Union may think such statements fair, but
no one else does. They know that, in our
paper of the Thursday previous to their meet
ing, we published the following editorial
viz:
"When we had our meeting the radicals very
uucivilly Haunted their flag across the street
in our faces, and it required all the caution
Mai. Connolly was master Of, to prevent a
collision with it. He stationed faithful men
near it to prevent any one from interfering
with it. II was q piece Of incivility, and
probably intended as such, to run it out on
that day. We shall not initiate the ques
tionable decency of the radicals by running
our flag out, on the day of their meeting
awe hope they viii have fair day, fol
we dislike to see the ladies and little grill
disappointed in making pretty turnout.
Saturday next is their day, and We urge
every democrat to avoid all controversy viii
them on that day. Leave the republican,
alone. on that day, and hope they may hav
a iolly good time-all to themselves. ]
they quarrel among themselves, it will no
be the fault of our party. Let every demo
crat avoid argument and try to preserv
peace and quiet, on that day.

The Rock ISLAND BRIDGEs.--Ihe work
on the carriage bridge now being built by
the United States, from this city to the
Island, is going forward rapidly and well
There ia to be three fine Joliet stone piers,
and two abutments of the same material, to
this bridge, aud the superstructure is to be OF
iron. The prospect is that in few months
this great work will be complete.
The railroad and free wagon bridge from
the point Of the Island to Davenport, has
not vet been commenced. This is to be one
of the finest and most durable structures OF
the kind in the country, and will cost prob
ably three millions of dollars or more. Gen
Rodmau. under whose direction this great
work is to be executed, is considering the
plans and mode of its construction, and, IN
due time, will take the necessary steps to
commence and carry forward the work to
completion. 1t is not yet known whether
he will do the work by the day or by con
tract. There is no doubt that the work car
be completed much quicker by contrac
than by the day, and probably at much les'
expense. As the railroad company is to PAL
. onehalf the expenses Of constructing THU
bridge, it may possibly be done by contract
There is another consideration, of much i'm
; portance to the people, which is in favor
. the contract system, and that is the tint
g which would be saved by building it in tina
> way. This is of the highest Importance II
8 the people of the towns in the vicinity 0
the bridge, and also to the people generally
E Every day saved in this way is Of import
= ence to all, as it gives the public free cro'
. sing as soon as completed, and saves to til
# people thousands of dollars year in fel

OUR notice, in Saturday evenings pa
per, of the Bob Ingersoll meeting, was pub
lished while Gov. Yates was speaking.
Can't. Robert Kphler had 3 bushel Of pick
led cabbage prepared and Yates was put
upon that diet as soon as he closed Bob
Ingersoll. of Peoria, then made short
speech and the crowd dispersed.
In the evening, they had II torchlght pro-
cession numbering, according to various
counts, from 700 TO 900 torches. 1t was
not as large as the democratic torchlght
procession, the night of the O'Bren meet
ing.
With all their efforts with train OF ~
cars from Henry county; with all the Md
they could get from bennington, Western
and that region; with all the help they
could get from Mercer county and Iowa,
their day procession was not as well gotten
up as the O'Brien procession, and was Az
wagons less in number. And their torch
light procession was several hundred torches
1
less.
1t should not be forgotten that we had M
train of cars from Geneseo, and no aid o
auy importance outside our own county.
We do not wish to deny that the repubIi
cans had very large meeting. We have
no desire to belittle it, in any respect. l
was large meeting-but not half as laTg'
as it ought to have been, considering th'
population of Rock Island, Henry, Mercer
and Scott counties, and the favorable CIR
cnmstauces under which it was held. AM
we wish to say, distinctly and candidly, tina
the O'Brien procession, both day and eve
ming, outnumbered it. And the democrat
can yet point to the O'Brien meeting as thu
orandest demonstration ever held IN koc
l Island. c,,...
There was the usual amount OF drunken
ness but very little disputing and quarre
ing, except among themselves. AT on
time five 'qoyal" men lay on the wal
!; around Union Square, dead drunk and u
> terly unable to do more than grunt wht
rolled over against the fence, out OF Il
way. There we're many others similar
situated, trying to initiate their leaders,
= various parts of the town. But no gener
disturbance occurred anywhere. The der
e ocrats, by general consent, let them aIOn
t. 1t was their day, and the democrats we
Q quite willing that they should enjoy it
N their own way.

,e and good natured hits, on several banne

20 laugh as anybody.
