Senator Spraguc, one of the rich.
est men in Congress, permitted him d.
self to plead his congressional priv.
ilcges on the 9Th, in defending All
action Of debt brought against him
BY his gardener. Until now there
has not been any one in Congress :
for some years past, poor enough to
avail himself Of that plea.

Florida have Just sold tho Alabama

fishes the following, which may serve
to explain the recent unexpected an
nouncement hat the constitution in
Arkansas was adopted by 1890 ma.
jority: .tuel'f ssssTg

tuition defeated by ten thousand
votes. IL fair returns arc made.
Wstch for false reports. Negroes
voted several times evidence un.
mistakable. Fifty out Of fifty ciph,
counties voted against the cons,itu.
tion.
The Inielligencer sppends to the
foregoing dispatch the following re.
marks
The Chronicle published yesterday
(26th) a special dispatch of the cd
three days old, claiming The adoption
OF the constitution by three thop.,
and and stating that in some coun.
ties not half OF the negroes had
voted This is unquestionably one
OF the false reports sgainst which we
are warned by our dispatch Of last
night. The information received
from every reliable source states that
the constitution has been fairly voted
down by very large majority, not.
withstanding the early and often"
voting of the negroes in certain 10.
eali'ics. The majority is too great
to he overcome except by false re.
turns SO g!ariagly fraudulent, as to
shame the most reckless in political
trickery.
AN ENGLISH Virw.-Th Lon.
don Saturday Review, just now one
Of the leading papers in England,
has the following in a recent article
on American affairs
In substance Mr.. johnson is i'm.
reaehcd for differing from the domi.
rant party in Congress, and the same
course may be adopted agans, re,
publican President whenever the
balance of power is altered. II the
Senate declines to enter into the con.
stitu,ional character of the ac, of
Congress, it would seem that Mr..
johnson must inevitably be convict.
ed. The great increase Of the power
Of Congress may perhaps have been
legitimate and necessary, for it is
impossible to regulate the whole gov
eminent Of a great country forever
BY the terms of any written docu.
most, bat criminal prosecution In.
stitrted by the innovating party
againt the chief adherent Of the an.
cicnt doctrine is intrinsically harsh
and unjust. The most important
question which will be raised by the
impeachment relates TO tho probable
demand for the provisional suspen.
sion of the president from the cxer.
else Of his functions.

Washington dispatches contradict
the report that Generals Grant aud
Butler have been reconcilcd Butler
it is said, wanted Grant as a witness
on the impeachment trial, not for
what he could say for the prosecu-
bat to have him worried on cross
examination by the presidents law.

gers, however, would not allow it.

friends of the Union, that the association will
prove failure. if that kind of management
is persisted in. We say thai the U'aioa's
political friends are responsible for introduce
ing politics into the society, and responsible
for the failure of the institution, if it is
failure. And we say that they ought to pat
their. hands in their pockets and clear the
society Of debt. make it whole for the loss it
has sustained, resign their Offices and turn the
management over to men who have the con-
fdence of all parties, and who will not run

cal party. If the Union wants to know what
we have "told" anybody else, we will in.

NICE HoGs.-Capt. VIM. M. Morris has
just purchased, of John Whitsitt Esq,
and Mr.. Benjamin Whitsitt, his son, of
Presumption, the finest lot of hogs of the
season, l07 in number and averaging 1861
lbs. weighed and delivered at their farms
Not one of them weighed less than 800 lbs.
and only one over 500 lbs-that one weigh
ing SIS lbs. This showed the fine breeding
of the animals-no small ones and none
very large, but all about of a size and quail
ity. Capt. Morris says they are the best lot
of hogs, ofthat number, he ever handled, and
he never expects to see their equal The
price paid was $3.50 per hundred, the
amount of cash paid for them being S2,54S,-
"a. This splendid lot of hogs having been
two days on the road from Premption-l5
miles--can now Tuesday evening" be seen
at the railroad depot. They will go to Chi
cage TO night.

The Davenport Gazette and the Daven-
port Democrat have both informed their
readers that, at the late skating contest, at
Palace Park, in this city, the first prize was
awarded to Miss Haley of that place, and
the second prize to Miss Matte Biddison,
of Rock Island. They are respectfully in
formed that Miss Matte Biddison was not a
contestant for the prize, but Miss Maggie
Biddison, her sister, quite young Miss,
was the person who should have been na.i
ed. They might also, if they feel so dispos-
ed, inform their readers that Palace Park is
in Rock Island, and that there is a very gen.
eral impression that Miss Maggie should
have had the first prize.

MORE CHICKEN STEALING.-Last night
some chickenhearted villain stole from Mr.
Michael Kountsman, residing on Pleasant
street, between Elk and Deer, all the chick
ems had-l5 in number, and got away with
his booty. The head of one of the chickens
was found near the roost. A few days ago
we had an item about two other persons be-
ing robbed of their chickens. People had
better be on their guard, and keep their
powder dry. If they should happen to hear
a noise in their hen house in the night and
fire into it, they might possibly find a dead
niger in it, as man did in Tennessee the
other day.

On DIT.-That Phil Helm is about to
purchase Young America. The proprietor,
MIR. 4. Ridenbaugh, we regret to say, has,
for weeks, been very sick, and not expected
to live. He is somewhat better now and
1t is confidently expected that he will soon
be on his feet again-but he prefers to sell
out and devote his attention wholly to his
farm. We hope he will soon be out again
and fully regain his health He will be verv
much missed from Young America. For
about Is years his familiar face has been
seen about that locality where ne has cater
ed for the public, and made many friends
The poor, too, will miss his generous boun,
ty, and all will regret that his health ad-
monishes him to relinquish the active life
he has led and devote himself to the more
healthtul pursuits of cultivating the SOIL
He has hosts of friends who will wish him
well, wherever he goes.
