Attempt to Buy Democrats to Go in the Rad

EprToR or THE ARGUS, Sir.-Some
weeks ago | came to Rock Island to reside,
bringing with me my team. | took a city
license as regular teamster and expected
10 earn living with my team and boys. /
live in the first ward, and very soon after |
came here, | went to work with my team on
the public works in that ward. In few
hours after | commenced work one Of the
men in the employ Of Chris. Wagner, street
supervisor, asked me if I was a democrat.
| replied that was. He then said you've
got into the wrong crowd-we are all repub.
licsns here" | replied that could soon
quit if politics made any difference with my
work. At night the supervisor, Chris. Wsg.
ner, told me / need not work any more.
This was the first and last of my city work.
To-day this same radical supervisor came
to me, where WAS at work, and asked if
had my team yet. answered that had.
He asked how long | was engaged. | said
only for to-day. Then he asked if / was a
democrat. | said yes, had always been a
democrat and expected l always should be.
He then said they (the radicsls) were going
TO have big meeting Saturday, and if
would 20 in the procession with my team |
could have employment on the city work.
| replied that did not want work on such
conditions, and that ended our converse.

Now Mr.. Editor, is not this pretty state
Of affairs, when lsborer is first dismissed
because he is democrat, and then the same
radical Official who dismissed him has the
impotence to come around and proposes to
bride him with public work to 90 in rad

would the day in the procession have been
charged by him to the taxpayers of the city
Is the radical procession to be made up of
men hired and paid for out of the city treas.

way, TO me.
And | also confess that felt insulted TO
have such proposition made to me---a prop

your radical city officers? If so l think
there'll be sudden change about next

More Republican oppression.

An article in the Argus of Saturday, headed
More Republican Oppression" stated that
the Deputy Collector of Taxes gave but "T1O
spublic notice to the poor man" that his prop
erty was to be sold for taxes, In accordance
with the laws of the State (passed many years
since by Democratic LegisIature) and ordi-
nances OF the city, the tax bills issued Sept.
2, 1867, were within thirty days, sent to each
person taxed, giving the amount of tax, time
of payment, sc. In January last a sum-
mons was issued to each person who had not
paid his taxes. In March an advertisement
giving the names of delnquents owing $40
and upwards, was published in one of the dali
ly papers. In May notice was inserted in al l
the daily papers gi ling notice of the intended
advertisement of the sale of the estates
on which the taxes had not been paid.
On the 18th of June printed notices giving
the names of the owners and description of
the property to be sold, were posted at the sew
eral ward rooms and other public places in the
city. This notice was .torty-nine days previous
to the time of sale, and within thirty days af-
forwards individual notices of the intended
sale were sent to each person whose property
was advertised for sale. Subsequently the ad-
vertisement was inserted three times in one of
the daily papers previous to the time of sale.
The sale was August 9TH inst, nearly gear
after the tdees acre assessed. If there was any
person, rich or poor. who neglected to pay his
taxes. or to apply to the assessors for abate-
ment, hef cannot claim insufficiency Of no

GEN. GRANTS LossEs.-Not many month

GEN. GRANTS LossEs.-Not many months
ago articles appeared in the New York World
from which we make these extracts
OF the steadiness and stanchness Of Gen.
Grants patriotism, or the uprightness and So
lidity of his character, no man in the country
doubts OR affects to doubts *~On
the score of loyalty and solid public services,
no man in the country can come into COMPETE
ton with this illustrious soldier. The
Presidency can be nothing to him; he has a
more valuable office But if, in the hands of
Providence he could be an instrument for
tranquiizing the country, that is an honor for
which he could afford to sacrifice ease copge-
NAL pursuits: and the possibilities of still great
er fame as soldier. y Having restor-
ed the authority of the Government, we hone
that he may add the highest civic to the hioh-
est military fame BY restoring long lost cordial
ity of feeling.
Gen. Grant could not be used for the Worlds
purposes, and since that time it has attacked
him both as soldier and as man. 1t has
prepared artfully framed statements showing
Lees immense superiority as a general and
Grants criminal disregard of human life. All
the minor Democratic journals copy these
statements. But their refutation is very easy
matter. t'f H' 63a7 -u. i-...s... 8 ia
Gen. Grants efforts brought substantial re-
suits. Even il he had attained success through
greater sacrifice of life than had attended the
campaigns of his unsuccessful predecessors, he
ended the war and by that means saved the
continuance of bloodshed. --"
But the fact is that the campaigns of his
predecessors cost the loss Of forty thousand
more men than his own, the number Of en-
gagements being about the same. Mcclellan
lost fifty thousand men and left the rebellion
as strong as he found it,. His name will be
cheered in any Democratic assembly while
Grants will be received in scowling silence.
They would have Grant apologize for beating
Lee while they canonize Mcclellan because he
didn't beat him. They would glorify Lee for
defending the stars and bars and revile Grant
for upholding the stars and stripes. 4t.s .--s
