E1-Gov. Ford, which we take from the

Ex-Gov. Ford, which we take from the
| Washington Union, as follows;
"In temperance speech, delivered last night
Ex-Governor Ford, of Ohio. very pertinently re-
piled to the late scurrilous attack upon President
| johnson, made by Hon. Hiram Price, of Town
The latter gentlemen, it will be recollected, de-
clared that "the present incumbent of the presl-
Dental chair was drunkard." Governor Ford
after regretting that Mr. Price was not present.
said that from intimate business relations be-
tween himself and President johnson, existing
for a long period back, ne pronounced Mr.. Price
declaration to be the result of a great mistake.
And for fear our kind friends of the Rock
Island and Moline Union may think Elk
Congressman Florence, democratic editor OF
the Washington Union, and Ex-Gov. Ford,
formerly republican governor of Ohio, unre-
liable authority, we refer them TO Hon. b.
| B. French, a Yankee radical of the strictest
sort, who is now the radical commissioner
of public buildings, at Washington, elected
| by radical congress. Mr.. French wrote
| and published a letter in reference to the
remarks on temperance by Hon. Mr.. Price,
in which he spoke of President johnson as
| drunkard. Mr.. French, in that letter,
| says that, as commissioner of public build
ings, duty required that he should visit the
Presidents house almost daily, and no week
passed when he did not have personal inter
views with President Johnson. Relating his
experience, he concludes by saying:
"Isincerely believe Andrew johnson 10 be As
temperate a man, in all his habits as any man
in the United States. The Hon. Mr. Price Is not
the onlv man who has been misled by false state
mepts in regard to President Johnson's habits,
AS well know from the questions that have often
been nut to me when visiting my New England
frien ds."
This witness, we think, will be satisfactory
to the Rock Island and Moline Union, and
whenever that paper wants any more infor-
nation on the subject we shall furnish it
with much pleasure. A sense of justice
and fairness towards the President of the
United States, on the part of the editors of
the Union, will, we doubt not, prompt them
to let their readers see this testimony.

FIRE ALARM.-About u o'clock last even.
ing there was an alarm of fire from the house
once known as the "Hibernia," next south
Of the Shamrock" on Adams street. The
building is now an old rookery, belonging to
Mrs. Boone, of Geneseo and is occupied by
two families, Burton, and German family
The fire caught from a defective chimney.
The Rescue engine was hauled up to the
place, but the fire was extinguishcd without
making 1t necessary to use the machine.
The owner of this old rattle-trap of a house
will not repair it, and the people in the vi
entity are in danger of being burned out anv
hour. 1t is the duty of the aldermen in each
ward to examine every house in the ward
and require all chimneys, stoves, hues, &c.
DC, to be made safe, or cause the owners or
occupants to be fined, daily, until they are
made safe. Let them do their duty.
