Col. Bob. Ingersolls Speech.

The radical club of this city met at the
representatives hall last evening, and was
addressed by Col. Ingersoll, attorney gener.
al, and candidate for the radical nomination
for governor. He started out with charging
the democratic party with being in favor of
slavery, and if they succeeded to power would
re-establish slavery in this country, with the
usual clap-trap that might have been tolerat-
ed some twenty years ago, when the speak
er was democrat
But when the gentleman touched the live
issues, he commenced foundering. In
speaking OF the public debt, he said he was
in favor of paying it in accordance with the
contract, but did not inform his audience
what the contract was. Why did he not tell
them that the law provided that the interest
should be paid in coin, and the principal in
lawful money" and that the rump congress
has decided that greenbaeks are lawful mon.
ey, consequently he was in favor of paving
our bonds in greenbacks, and in the classic
language of Ben. Wade, he was a "peniten-
tiary thief"
Inc speaker had great deal TO say about
the Almighty" and q stranger would have
thought that he was regular minister in
one OF our churches. But he is the same
who shocked some of his old acquaintances,
who Witnessed his performances at the OPP
era House In this city, when on that occa-
sion, it is reported, he declared openly that

Private Miles O'Reiliy tells the following
Out in California, not many years ago,
the associate editor of San Francisco jour,
nal wrote and published, during the absence
at Sacramento of his unfortunate "responsi-
BILE" an atrocious attack upon the character,
domestic, political and moral-of that "re-
sponsible's' nearest, dearest and most init.
mate friend.
Three days after, as the innocent "respon.
siple who had not even seen his own paper
at the time-was returning from San Fran
CISCO, and stepping from the wharf from the
steamer, he was suddenly met by his injured
friend, who there and then, without further
psrley, drew his revolver and commenced a
fusilade, which resulted in leaving the sur.
prised chief editor with three bullet wounds
none of them, happily, fatal-in different
parts of his person.

CHICAGO. ROCK ISLAND d PACIF-
&c RAILROAD.

On Monday we published, from Des.
MONIES paper, an account of the late move.
ments of the directors of the Chicago, Rock
Island Il Pacific Railroad Company, and we
have thought some additional facts would be
interesting to our readers.
1t seems that in September last, the board
OF directors resolved that it was the interest
of the company to complete the road to the
Missouri river at as early day as pfactica.
bic, and, to that end, authorized Mr.. Tracy,
the president, and Mr.. lows, the secretary
OF the company, to issue about FIVE millions
OF additional stock, and to dispose of it in
the market as they should think proper.
Not long thereafter "ring, +" as it Is
called, was formed in Wall street, to get the
control OF the road for the purpose of termi-
mating 1t at Desmoines or extending it up to
the Chicago Il Northwestern Railroad. with
the view of preventing competition between
the roads, and in fact making the Chicago.
Ho'h Island d Pacific tributary to the Chi.
cago Northwestern. 1t has transpired
tnat MT. Tracy was invited tn becoma a
member OF the "ring," which ha .a,;aod
was not to commence buying up the stock
until January following; but he declined
having anything to do with it. His ,el..;on
to the stockholders of the Chicago Root
Island & Pacific railroad certainly woula
have made such combination ON his mar,
improper in the extreme.
1t turns out that some of the members Of
the ring became impatient at the delay
or perhaps wanted to turn an honest penny
at the expense Of the other members of the
ring" and before the first day of January
they had bought Eve millions of the stock,
which was supposed to constitute majority
of all the stock Of the company. About this
time it was found that new stock Of the
company to that amount had been issued
and sold under the resolution of the board
of directors, and that the "ring " only con-
trolled about one-third instead of . majority
