equal dimensions with that on Rampant street, to

river. By means Of food gates the water may De
made to act on one or more of the culverts at one

The difference Of elevation between the river

waters Of the river TO flow through the canals,
correcting for these the necessity of dredging !;
which in Itself should be a sufficient inducement

Among the many benefits TO be derived from

RADICAL FiZZLE.
Eighty-FiVe Persons Present.
Lord Hawley spouts, and the Little
Rooster Crows.

| The radical "Grant and Colfax' rntiica.
ton meeting at the court house last night
which had been advertised in the Union for
| two weeks previously, was one of the most
ridiculous hzzles we have ever witnessed.
Eighty-fve persons were present, by actual
count, on the opening of the meeting, and
perhaps eight or ten more dropped in during
the course OF the evening. The rabble was
called to order by the renowned State Bug
catcher. B. B. Joslin, of Yuma, was called
to the chair, and like some roaring barbarian
from the backwoods, spread himself in
| twenty minutes 'talk," which Disguised ey-
cry decent man in the house. He had once
been democrat, he said, but the party had
left him, and he was down on traitors like
thousand of brick, and hated Abe Lincoln
''llke the dickens because he didn't shoot
every rebel In the south, and allow the loyal
men OF the north to stretch up few around
here. If traitors are never stabbed in the
back until such gas-bags as Josliu do it, they
need indulge no idle fears on that account.
They stand as good q chance of being struck
by lightning. Why such ferocious bloody.
bones didn't cool his thirst for blood upon
the battle field is an inexplicable mystery.
Such fellows prefer to blow their trumpets
at safe distance, however, and sacrifice
their second wifes brothers and other dis
tant relations.
Josiin then called on Lord Hawley, who.
by previous arrangement, invited the latte
Rooster to perch itself upon the top of the
rostrum. This was Immediately done, and
followed up BY q Growing and Tapping of
wings which continued for some time, much
to the amusement of the little audience.
Lord Hawley was then called out by two
or three persons, and consumed an hour in
a heavy exposition of the issues before the
people, and the various admirable points
comprised In that milk-and-wator article |
known as the Chicago platform. He was
laboring under the hallucination that the |
war Is not yet over, and that the greatest |

democrats from seizing the reins of govern

views, was mere triae, which o few years

hour, and with long line thrown for con.

THE RADICAL TICKET.

The ticket presented by the radical
slaughter house convention, which met in this
city on Monday, has raised such storm of
Indignation among republicans as never was
known before. "Swearing-mad" is no name
tor their rage, and there is one general de-
mand among them for an Independent tick.
ct. The bribery, corruption and disobed-
fence OF instructions among the delegates
was the most shameless ever known in this
county-and the slaughter of soldier candi-
dates was perfectly fearful. Maj. HAYES,
Maj. Wilson, Capt. Morris, Capt Jordon,
Sergeant Payne, and Col. Mcneil all went
Gown before the merciless fraud and corrup.
ton which controlled the convention. A
majority OF the delegates elected were in
favor of Capt. Morris for clerk but they were
changed by the radical rings which exist
in this city, after they arrived in town
Morris was deliberately sold out and sickles
obtained his nomination by the most shame.
less and corrupt bargain and sale. He was
not the choice of the convention, but he OBJ
tanned his nomination by selling Norris
He and his G.. A. r. delegates from Moline
were instructed for Morris, but the Rock
Island delegation bought him and his Moline
delegates to vote for Hodges by agreeing, in
return, to vote for Sickles. Morris needed
only votes to nominate him and he would
have been nominated by large majority
had not Sickles sold him ont TO secure his
own nomination, and the Rock Island rings
joined hands to control other country dele
gates and make them change their yotes
from Morris to Hodges. Mr.. Hodges is a
respectable civilian and good clerk; we
have nothing to say against him. But he

THE SOLDIERS MOVING.

The democratic and conservative soldiers
and sailors and are moving on the radical
works, all over the country. Our exchanges
are teerning with calls and proceedings OF
meetings to appoint delegates to the New
York soldiers and sailors national conven-
ton, which promises to be the largest, most
important and most influential soldiers and
sailors meeting ever held in In the United
States. Thousands of soldiers and sailors,
all over the land, begin to see through the
hypocrisy, wiokedness and corruption of the
radical party, and are going for a change
They are beginning to see that they have
been used to place the negro above their
own race, and to mortgage the white mans
property and labor for ages to come in order
to carry out the wicked and tyrsnnical and
Unconstitutional rule of the radical party
They will now show that their love of coun-
try and race is superior to their love of party
and party leaders, and they will throw off
this corrupt radical party and bring into
power once more the good old-fashioned
Jackson days of honesty and reverence for
the constitution and laws. Delegates to the
New York convention are being appointed
in large numbers from all parts of the coun-
try. Let not Rock Island county be behind
in the good work. We have a noble host
democratic and conservative soldiers through
out the county. Let them take measures to
be represented and to make radicalism feel
their power.

EDITOR OF THE ARGUs-Dear Sir: The
temptation to incorporated capitalists &c
absorb the productions of the laboring mas
ses seems 10 have been increased TO such q
degree that even the enormous debts con,
tracted by the states, cities and towns, and
By the government at Washington, car
neither check their cupidity, nor awaken
the producing classes to their impending
doom. These debts cannot fall much shorl
Of six thousand millions of dollars, and yet
the cry is more taxation, and that, too, not
to pay off what the masses of the producers
are said to owe, but to enrich indiUiduais in
their capacity of railroad corporators.
From the decision or Judge Peasants on
the right of cities and townships to vote
more than once under the so-called railroad
law of this state, beg leave, with due def
ference to his acknowledged ability, to dis
sent. One of the numerous reasons upon
which this dissent is based, is the "prece,
dent established by the adoption of our
state constitution.
VIII any man of common sense assert
that the electors who voted against the
adoption of our state constitution could de-
msnd another trial at the polls when that
instrument did no; explicitly grant it?
To answer this very important question
atfrmatively, would be to discard the uni
versal practice of all the states since the
adoption of constitutions has been submitted
to the people. zF
Why then, let me ask, has ten legal vo-
tiers under this so-called law right, unau,
thorized by the law itself, to demand a sec
ond trisl?-a second chance TO pick the
pockets of the minority after failing in the
trial which this so-called law authorized.
If good reason can be given for a Sec
ond vote, after failing in the first, il will be
equally applicable on the other side of this
fraudu lent system of taking private property
for pirate use.
The object, however, was not to call atten-
ton to this question ola second vote, but to
discuss the constitutional power of the state
legislature to enact these so-called laws, and
Of the Judiciary TO enforce the collection Of
taxes thus levied. eH~ sEas $3.50
