EDIToR ARGUs-I am credibly informed
that Fl. F. Sickles wrote letters to Washing.
ton charging that Gen. Rodman was expend-
ing the government money on $4,000 clocks,
elegant private residences, &C., &C., and that
congress ought to make no more appropria-
tions for the Island. Is this the reason no
more men can be employed there this sum-
mer and that many who are now employed
must give up their places? Do the people
want man for representative who secretly
works to defeat appropriations for the Ar.
senal? Nor Much.

The Radical Candidate for REPRESENTATIVE i

EDITOR OF THE ARGUS, Sir.-Some years
ago, when Sam Carr kept that noted brick,
on the Camden road-a house of ill-fame,
II. F. Sickles, the radical candidate for rep.
resentatiye, was freauentsr of that bagnio.
He was also indicted for perjury by the
grand jurysof this county. Can such q man
be q suitable representative of this county,
in thefegislature of Illinois :? am q repu6
lican, but ! shall not vote for such q man
and have yet to meet the FIRST republican
in this county who will vote forhim. Ihope
the, republicans will bring ont a good man
and run him independent. II not, I shall
vote for the democratic candidate if re-.

THE friends of Maj. Halves and Capt.
Morris are decidedly indignant when they
remember that this is the second time that
each of them have been slaughtered and
thrown overheard in radical convention.
Nor do the numerous friends of Sergt. Payne
and Maj. Wilson feel bit better. And we
believe they all agree that the only way to
punish such corruption and trading as took
place in their convention is TO elect the dem
ocratic candidates. That will teach men
not to come to Rock Island and sell out their
friends another time. Beat the whole ticket,
is the only way to punish the rascality by
which it was nominated.

twenty-five, and for the past two years has
been in the employ of Blythe & Stoddard,
wagon makers. He was unmarried. He

MAILS DELaYED.--A good deal of disap-
pointment was felt by the people in the
lower part of the county because they got
no Rock Island mail on Saturday, especially
as that is the day they look for the Rock
Island papers. We supposed the failure was
occasioned by bad roads, but Mr.. Ely, the
mail contractor, says the failure was occa-
stoned by high water in the Edwards river,
between Hamlet and Aiedo. He says it
was impossible to cross the river on ac-
count of change in the road, high sloughs
and no bridges. 1t is to be hoped safe
and permanent road will be made there at

4 TALE OF REAL LIFE.

About two years since, a very intimate
friend of mine, some years my senior, re-
lated the following story TO me. / think
| cannot do better than give it in his own
words, for while it amused, it at the same
time made such an impression on me. that
| paid up divers small debts had hitherto
neglected. and have since never allowed
myself any luxury could not pay for.
| trust this tale may prove as amusing,
and perhaps as profitable to some of my
readers as 1t was TO me.
When 1 was about twenty-five years OF
age was in the army; although ! was
not rich I was very well off. as my friends
gave me an allowance of two hundred
pounds year; but as was very thought
less and very extravagant, ] spent consid-
erably more than this, allowing my half:
yearly bills TO remain unpaid. In short
time, however. some of my tradesmen ap-
piled to me for payment. threatening to
apply TO my relatives if | did not comply
with their demands. In order to avoid

made it his special business to watch and
follow, unknown to them, the careers OF
his nephews and nieces. l went to stay
with Mr.. X. (having given the letter L
had promised to post in Paris to gentle
man, Who kindly undertook to do it for
me). He introduced me to my uncle,
whom | had never seen before, and l
made them both laugh very heartily by
telling them how l had at first taken Mr..
| X for bailiff My uncle lent me two
hundred pounds to pay my debts, and also
GO me an appointment of two hundred
ami fifty pounds year, which as my other
rehtions again increased my allowance to
one hundred pounds per annum, enabled
mein a short time to repay him. l am
well off now, and can only add that l had
experienced so many disagreeables, had
been so nearly forced to fly the country,
and altogether felt SO ashamed of myself.
tina the lesson proved a good one. have
never since exceeded my income. nor have
ever run into debt, recollecting, when
evei | felt inclined to be little extrava-
