QUIScY.-An opportunity of becoming ac-
quainted with the attractive features Of Quin-
cy never presented itself to us until the occa-
sion Of our recent trip to that city. Through
the bounteous and muni6cent kindness Of our
friends We were shown, while there, all the
principal objects Of public attraction. A
drive into the country to the north Of the
city exhibited to us some Of the most bean
tiful and attractive farms and farm houses
that the western sun ever shone upon. The
buildings are of substantial character, and
the farms are under the highest state Of cul.
tivation. If the owners thereof are not
ilhmitably happy It's not for the want Of
earthly possessions wherewith to become SO.
Returning to the city, we took drive through
the principal streets attwilight. The crepus-
cuiar light produced by the refraction of the
suns rays made our view rather IN imper.
feet one. We resumed our perambulations
on the next day aud visited number OF
places in and around the city, among which
were the Rink, the Opera House, Cemetery,
Sunset Hill and others. The Rink il two
hundred feet in length, ninety-fve in width,
and is substantially built. The interior ID ar-
ranged in q very convenient and superb man.
ner. The Opera House is doubtless one Of
the finest west of Chicago. It is capable Of
containing about sixteen hundred persons.
A view from the top Of it is the nj ost con-.
manding one the city affords. Sunset Hill is
an eleyated point on the river bank north Of
the city, from which an excellent view may
be obtained Of the Mississippi. in either di-
rection.
The bridge is fast approaching completion,
the spans having been nearly all finished l,
| is expected that the cars will be moving over
! the structure during the fall.
| Our down trip Was on the Rob Roy ably
commanded by thst very popular officer, Cap
tain Gum. with our friend Ed. Morehouse as
Clerk, the genial companionship Of which
added much to the pleasure Of our Journey
Returning, we came on the Victory, of the
/ St. Louis L Quincy Line, under the com.
mand of Captain Schofeld. The Victory i,
q neatly arranged and handsomely finished
boat. We arrived home at 5 o'clock yester
day morning. and unlike he Of Excursion
notoriety,' We did not close our eyes upon
the life beauty and attractiveness of Keokuk
for the allurements Of tho more retired ane
secluded town Of Canton, in the State Of Mis-
souri,.
For the generous hospitality which we re-
ceived during our stay at Quincy we feel dull,
grateful. 1t had tendency TO increase on
enjoyment about ten fold.

Benevolenl Insurance Aluminium,

We publish to-day the charter of the
Mutual Aid and Benevolent Life Insurance
Association of Louisiana, to which the at.
tention of our readers is called; the system
although not new is for the first time of.
fered TO the public. 1t may be truly
called charitable institution in its purest
and noblest sense on large scale-it
enables every husband, father. mother, or
child, and every "good man" however
poor to leave an inheritance through the
benevolent assistance and aid of the sur
wing members. Persons of small means
have long been debarred from the benefits
OF Life Insurance by the heavy charges
made by the insurance companies. The
Mutual Aid and Benevolent Life Insur,
ance Association offers its benefits to all,
rich and poor. It's guardians are some OF
our well-known citizens whose names give
to it the assurance of success and perma-
nency. BY careful reading of articles four
and five of the charter published in our
columns of to-day, our readers will OBJ.
taia correct idea of the proposed system.
The ladies' especially should give it their
particular attention.

GENERAL REYNOLDS UPON TEE sITUA-
TON IN TEXAH,

General ]. J. Reynolds, commanding
the Fifth Military District, which now COM
prises the State Of Texas, has written a let
ter upon the situation in that State, from
which the following extract is made
In addition to all that l have heretofore
stated with regard to the necessity of mil.
tary commissions in Texas / beg now to
add that my experience and additional in
formation with reference to the amount of
laWlessness throughout the State fully con-
firm my previous statements, aud compel
me to repeat the application. Scarcely
day passes that am net appealed to for
military commission.
These appeals, though coming in q ma
jority Of instances from men of well known
Union sentiments, are by no means con-
fined to men of any party. Conservatives,
Radicals, whites. and blacks profess to
earnest desire to have q stop put to the
muring which is going on in the State
to an exent which Is almost Incredible to
citizens of other States, and which Is q
di gracs TO the civilization of the sg.
General Reynolds is man of the ut
most reliability and truth, and what he
states, therefore, ia reference to the condi-
ton of Texas may be received as literal
fact.
"Murdering," he declares, dis going on
there to an extent which is almost incred-
ible to citizens of other States,' and lis
Disgrace to the civilization of the sge.'

THE STATE LEVEE BONDS.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN: viii You please tell.
II You can, Why the State should hoI refuse
to pay the bonds which have been issued
for levee purpose! We're they not issued
and put into circulation illegally ? Was it
not notorious that they were worthless nm
less some further legislation was had to give
them value? Was not their ifltgality the
very reason why brokers and fnanciers gave
SO little for them?
The facts are simply these: Two million
four hundrt d aud three Thousand dollars of
bonds Uf the State have been Issued under
he pr tended authority of Act lis, 1867, for
the purpose OF rebuilding the ieVees.
These bonds are now in the hands of
specu ators who bought them KS q specula.
ton for mere song-son1e of them for less
than hall their face. Now what have the
Levee Commissioners done in the way of
rebuilding h. leveesg They have managed
to spend about half q million of dollars.
For what we will see on some other coca
sion. The purchasers and holders of the
bonds knew they were illegal when they
bought them; and that is Just the reason
why Northern capitalists would have moth
ing to do W tn them.
The uanag -ment of the leVee funds has
been scandn'uus. The law has been openly
and willfu ly set at nought.
The Legislature OF 1865 provided (by acts
20 and 1857 that he Levee Commissioners
should not spend more than one million
seven hundred and twenty thousand
ISL, 720 000) dollars, yet they, in face of the
law made contracts 10 the amount of thr. e
and half mllluns.
Is the State bound by the acts of such
men-men who were not her oh jice these
men were tue agents of the military author
ities; let them hold these men to account
for their conduct. or course the ate can
not recover the mon J these men have 30
vantonly aud Illegally squandered; but
most assurcdiy she is not Bound either in
honor or justice to pay millions of dollars
Of bonds Illegally issued, and by which she
10 not benefited.
These bonds, 1t must be remembered,
were issued when, ACCORDING to the Con.
gress of the United States, there existed no
legal government. How, then, il no legal
government existed and the United ates
Congress had proclaimed TO the world there
was none-can the people of this 81 late be
bound for these bonds, issued when no
legal government existed?
No sir, there is on Y one way to dispose of
this mAtter-let the Legislature refuse to
recognize these bonds Whatever she may
owe to contractors or others for work &C
tually done on the levees should be paid:
but millions of d pllars, for the benefit of a
lot OF harptes and for which the State has
had no con idera N, should be promptly
do not say repudlate, for that would imply
she was bound, which deny-reiected.
Let orr legls ators look to this. If they
would "do the State some Service" now is
the time; let them not hesitate; the people,
II they do their duty. will have good cause
To remember them with gratitude; but if
they falter, and neglect this opportunity,
they will have done more to consign their
memories to everlasting reproach than
could all of their enemies.
