THE Davenport papers, and the Rim Un.
ion, seem to be under the impression that
their editors hold the office of town clerk in
Rock Island. This is a mistake. The peo-
pie elected P. T. McElberne, Jr., Esqr., "who
Is mere law stadent in Osborn 4 Curtis
office" as the Union says, and he is dscharg-
ing the duties of the Office as he understands
the law. He would be a very dishonest and
dishonorabe man to discharge the duties of
the Office contrary to what he believed to be
lawful manner. In his opinion it would
be just as legal for him, on the request of
any ten men who want DR.. Gregg instead of
Mr.. Stoddard for supervisor, TO call a new
election on that subject as it would to call
new elections on Che Peoria railroad ques-
ton. Holding that opinion, he should be
commended for diseharging his duties in
what he believes to be lawful instead of
what he believes to be an unlawful manner.
Threats or abuse of a public officer for dis
charging his duties in conscientious man.
ner are neither useful or wise. Nor can
there be any particular necessity for hurry
ing into an unlawful election. The courts
are open to those who feel aggrieved, and
the clerk is IS anxious as any one to be ad-
vised or ordered by his superiors. Let US
have Judge Peasants opinion or order in
the matter. Everybody win have confidence
in it and cheerfully conform to it.
The editors referred to, seem very an xious
to have Mr.. McElherne take their elastic
consciences and their added brains as sdb-
stitute for his oath and responsibility. While
the clerk seems to be under the impression
that he is not wholly a machine or q piece
of putty in the hands of any dissatisfied mi
nority. The clerk does not claim to be in
fallible. He even admits that he may be
wrong-bus he thinks be is right, and, think.
ing so, is it not clearly his right and duty TO
act upon his honest convictions The Board
of Trade seemed to think there was a doubt
about the legality of q second election, and

THE Rock ISLAND FERRY AN IMPOSITION
ANOTHER FERRY NEEDED FOR THE PuB.
Lie GooD.-It is the popular suppositior
that steam ferry boat plies between this
city and Davenport, and yet there was much
reason to doubt this, yesterday. No trips
were made from three O'Clock in the after
noon, until this morning. During portion
of this time, the high winds would have
rendered navigation difficult, but there
could have been made three or four trips
without the slightest inconvenience. At
about dusk, at which time the boat had on
full head of steam, crossing could have been
safety, and would have been rendered OBJ.
jectionable solely On account of drizzling
rain. In fact, trips were made during the
forenoon, in much stronger winds than pre-
vailed during most of the afternoon. The
only plausible explanation for this remis-
sion of duties, is, that the ferry employees
were allowed to pursue their own incl ma
tons in regard to the matter, and deemed it
more comfortable to remain ind oors, than
to accommodate the public, and do the bust
ness for which they are paid to do. The
inconvenience resulting to the one or two
hundred people who desired to cross from
either side, was very great and maledic-
tons, long, loud and deep were heaped upon
this royalty independent monopoly, for using
its own good pleasure, when the necessities
of the public should be the motive of action.
Some twenty-five helpless little children, OF
both sexes, whose parents reside in Rock
Island, and send them to school at Daveu-
port, were left over there, with the entire
knowledge of the officers of the ferry, and
allowed to shift for themselves as best they
might, without money or friends. The alarm
and anxiety of their parents must have been
extreme indeed, as the little ones were com
swering for a wharf boat, on the other side,
many of them wet through by the rain, and
shivering with cold and hunger, until eight
O'Clock, at which time the ferry boat had up
steam, could have crossed jus, as well as
not, and it was known to the ferry employees
that the children had not yet crossed. Blu,
choosing their own comfort instead, these in
solent monopolists hoisted their signal
lights and tied up for the night, leaving up
wards Of a hundred people on the Daven-
port levee, who desired to come over. What
would have become of the children, it is diff
fcult to tell, had not some kind hearted
strangers taken them in charge, and brought
them over on the bridge train at half past
eSeren o'clock, to find their homes as best
they might, through the rain, mud and
darkness. The public will duly appreciate
and remember such an exhibition of selfish
ness on the part of the ''Poor Heirs"

The Davenport Gazette allnding to the
scoundreliy opposition to the free bridge
over the Mississippi river, says:
Il is difficult to imagine that any citizen
possessing particle of influence, could op-
pose this bridge. It is to be erected under
such rules and laws that there can be no
monopoly. We hope that the individuals,
parties, organizations, clubs or societies who
have, are, or intend to oppose this bridge,
may be discovered, compelled to give their
reasons therefor, and that they may be most
thoroughly and etfectually convinced that
their best interests lie in the early and rapid
completion of the government bridge across
the Mississippi river at this point

MOULD it not be we'll for the officers of
our Board of Trade to visit Camden and
ask the Board of Trustees of that place to
unite with us in urging congress to pass the
appropriation for the free bridge The plan
of improvements proposed by Gen. Rodman
and endorsed by the War Department bene
fits Camden as much as any other place In
proportion to its size, and her people are as
anxious for free bridge as any other peo-
pie. We have no doubt that the Board of
Trustees there, as well as in Moline, would
unite with our Board of Trade and City
Council, and the Davenport City Council, in
urging the building of the bridge.
