AMONG the extravagant batch OF false
hoods in the Union, this morning, is the fol-
lowing:
"The construction of sewers and filing up and
mac adamizing of untr ravelled streets and alleys
around Aldermen Huber's brewery, at the ex-
pense of the city.
Capt. Huber has shown US receipts from
Thomas Butler for money paid out of bis
own pocket for macadamizing the alley. The
city paid nothing for that. The sewer was
ordered by the board of health, at the re-
quest Of other persons than Capt. Huber,
and its cost is to De collected FROM the prop
erty owners. Capt. Huber had nothing to
do with that No "untravelled streets" have
been filed around Capt. Huber's brewery
but a street which is travelled ten times
| more than Green street, the macadamizing
| of which was highly satisfactory to radicals
Capt. Huber is one of our largest tar payers
and he justly thinks that, considering the
taxes he pays and the business he does, he
ought to have q street that people can trare
on to get to and from his place Of business
| and so do the people.
| Again, the Union talks about "the unac
countahle expenditures on the Camden road. ,
The expenditures on the Camden road have
all been Accounted for" The contract wa
made by the Unions political friend, Acting
Mayor Hswes, signed by him and by no 9th
er city officer he also made the motion Il
| ocnen+ ~ apd ;f thara 10 nrr blame n IA or
him. But there is no blame he done right
and the people sanction the improvement
1t is not strange that the Union keeps find
ing fault with the Camden road--it used al
its efforts to prevent the improvement bein.
made In the first place.

New JOB TYpE.-We have just received

No printing office in this county caa com

fairs-the one last fall, too. All who wan
Job printing of any kind, done neat quick
and cheap, are invited to call on Mr.. Jones
in the job Office, and examine specimens
&c. &c,
The constantly increasing circulation ot
the ARGUS, both DAILY and WEEKLY, makes

Rorx ISLAND CouSrY BIBLE SOCIETY,"
The regular annual meeting of the Rock
Island County Bible Society took place At
the methodist church on Sunday evening
8. B. Lille, county agent, handed in his re-
port, and also A. K. Philleo, deposltary
and treasurer. The following officers were
then elected for the ensuing year Rev.
Henry Davis, of the baptist church OF this
city, president: Rev S. T. Wilson, of the
presbyterian church, vice president; E. W.
Spencer, secretary A. X. Philleo, deposi.
tary and treasurer. A board Of directors
was appointed, consisting of c. L. Bacomo,
VIM. Jackson, VIM. Guthrie, David Hawes,
E. II. Smyth. Henry S. Powers, and II. II
Mayo. During the evening, the Rev. Dr.
Davis addressed the audience.

THE Union says It was told that MAI.
Connolly wrote communications for the AR.
GUS showing ,ha, the Mayor had not the
right to vote for city officers. If the editors
of tha. paper were ever told SO (which we
doubt)they were told lie. Maj. Connolly
has not written word to US or for us or for
the ARGus, in relation to the city election. OF
the Mayors right to vote, or anything else,
connected with city affairs.
The Union pretended that it was told GER
tain things about Jake Huber, but, when
Jake and other members of the Unions par
ty certify that the Union lied, that paper
has not sufficient manliness or honor to cor
rect its ISLANDERS. Nor will it have in the
case of Maj. Connolly.

No REDUCTION IN FERRIAGE.-The people
of this county will learn with regret that the
radicals in the Board of Supervisors were
controlled by the "poor heirs" and dare not
reduce the present exhorbitant rates of ferri-
age. When the subject was brouuht up, the
radicals sent for one of the poor heirs, Capt.
Robinson, and he convinced them that the
people ought to pay just what he demanded.
He said he didn't always charge full rates,
but he wanted the rates to remain as they
are. In other words he wanted chance to
use the ferry as political machine to favor
those who would favor his monopoly. The
result is exactly what We expected. The
radicals are owned and controlled by the
poor heirs. viii the people ever send men
to the Board of Supervisors who will have
the independence to represent their interests,
and not the interests of greedy and grasping
monopolies?
The evening Argus., 1868-03-16

THE notice of Policeman Mitsch, in the
ARGUS of Saturday, was By his knowledge
and request. But since it appeared, and
since Mitsch handed in his resignation, the
radical fuglers have been begging Mitsch to
withdraw his resignation and accept the of
flee. Mitsch believes that, all they want of
him is to show them the ropes, and then,
after a few weeks, discharge him, at the i'm
portunity of some lazy loafer who wants of
fee. Having that opinion he resigned.
The RAIDS are now begging him to accept the
place, and promising him that he shall keep
it for the year, if he will take it. That's the
way the matter stands, now. What course
Mr.. Mitsch will take is not yet known. II
he could believe that any radical promise
would be kept, he might, perhaps, accept
the place. Bat radical promises are ''migh-
| ty onsartin"--as several score of disappoint-
ed office-seekers could testify to, last Friday
| evening.

The number Of out-and-out falsehoods,
manufactured BY the Union, is absolutely
astonishing-it challenges the very imp of
LES And it don't make bit of difference
how often and how conclusively they are
shown to be base fabrications, that disrep pu-
table sheet continues to repeat them. This
morning it has a rehash of its old lies which
have been exploded and refated hundred
times-and 1t adds one new one, viz:
"The appointment of pair of non resident riv-
er men on the police force by the City a arshal."
Neither the city marshal or any other au-
thority ever made any such appointment.
We suppose the Union has reference to Po-
licemen Schneider and Barthalow, as the
/ radicals used that lie al through the cam
paign--not in their organ but they went to
every man who was out of employment and

Capt. James Best arrived from st Lous this

The New Boston, from Montrose, will

our best speakers has promised to be there

KIRKwooD Is Rock ISLAND Horse. We
met Harry s, Compton, on the streets, to-day,
and he informed us that he has leased the
Harper mouse in the lst ward, and will soon
move, to Rock Island and bring his celebra-
tel stallion, Sam Kirkwood, and make his
home here. He says our trosting course is
the best one he ever saw, and that, hence.
forth, Sam Kirkwood is q Rock Island

celebrated horse, and hope he win find Rock

THE PRosrEcrs-The prospect for the
early completion of the railroad bridge re-
pairs is not very hattering. A gentleman
who came over from Davenport this morn
ing, informs us that switch track is being
constructed BY the company, running from
the depot to the river, so that freight and
passengers can be transferred to steamers al
the loot of the bridge. This indicates rath
er an extended resort to ferrying. tbs sale
that the two spans next to the Iowa shore
viii have to be entirely rebuilt, and probably
two of the piers.

ey, 8 weeks longer than has been done for q

TIE demand for the Argus containing our
account of the flood was as unprecedented
as the food. Every COPY was sold in very
short time after publication, and when they
were all sold people offered rs cents and
even so cents for single copy-but could
n not get them.
The evening Argus., 1868-03-16

The late food at Rock River seems not
to have been confined to this particular To-
cslity, but extended above Sterling, doing
much damage to the farms lying along the
bottoms. At the Meredosia it spread across
the country to the Mississippi, and contrib
u.ed not little to the deluge with which we
were visited.

Cry TREAsURER.-It has been the i'm
preston of some that Mr.. James NJ. Buford
received 800 year for transaeting the bu-
siness of city treasurer. This is not 50.
The hundred dollars went to the bank and
not to him. He never received cent of it.
