BISHOP LEES LECTURE.-The Right Rev
erend Bishop Lee, of Iowa, will this evening
deliver, at Darts Hall, his lecture on o re.
cent tour through the British Isles, France,
Switzerland, and other European countries.
As a literary production, it has met with
warm commedatisns, while the interest which
naturally attaches itself to the cold country"
will be sufficient to attract large and ap-
appreciative audience. Bishop Lee is pos.
essed of considerable powers Of observation,
united with great love of nature and fine
escriptive powers. His narration of visits
70 the tombs of Scott and Shakespeare, to
the Lake of Killarney. the Giants Causeway,
and other points familiar to no small mum
Der of our citizens, cannot fail to prove doub-
ly interesting. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that the primary object of his visit was
to attend the Pan-Anglicsn Conference, thus
forming an item of additional interest. Re
served seats can be procured without extra
charge, at Devoe d Champions. The pro-
ceeds of the lecture will be devoted TO the
Trinity Church, of this city.

Boat YARD.-We understand that respon-
sible and experienced partie. are examining
this locality with view Of establishing, at
some point near here, an extensive boat yard
and marine railway, where first class steam
boats, barges, fiat boats, &c. &c, can be con-
structed and completed and that all that is
necessary is for our business men and prop
erty owners to offer some reasonable encour-
agement 10 secure the location. We sup
pose every man of ordinary intelligence can
at once perceive the immense advanta-
ges such an establishment would be to Rock
Island. 1t would add largely to our poula.
hon furnish employment to a large number
of men; stimulate the manufacturers of
steam engines, boilers, machinery, and i'm
mensely increase theiumber trade. 1t would
give painters, and upholsterers unlimited
employment; add wonderfully to the trade
in ship cnandlery, hardware. and in fact
give an impetus and enthusiasm to every
kind of business and trade. The business
men and property-holders will miss it very
much if they fail to secure the immense ad-
vantages such an establishment would give
their business and CITY. Action is what is

HE HORSE RAILRoAn.-The organ of the
monopolists admits that the horse railroad
corporators demand Exclusive" rights over
all the streets they run, the effect of which
will be to exclude any other railroad, from
any other point, from reaching the new rail-
road bridge or from crossing the same.
This is Just exactly what the council should
not do.
The Union also says
"If we want the railway, the council must
grant the corporators fair and reasonable privil-
eges-snch privileges as are granted similar cor
porations all the country"
We are informed that no city in Illinois
has ever given away the exclusive right to
its streets to any horse railroad company.
If any such company has secured such right
it has been by bribery and corruption in
procuring such charter from the legislature
The corporators of the Moline concern prob
ably though. it would be cheaper to buy the
council in Rock Island than to buy the leg.
islature, and so had the matter left to the
council. Failing to bny or control demo-
cratic council, money was tried with better
success on the purchasable people, and the
election of one of the poor heirs was bought
and paid for In the Third Waad, and by sim
liar means the election of very near friend
of another ':corporator" was secured in the
Second Ward. By means of money, and
bribery and corruption they now seek to COW
er our streets with "gridirons' and exclude
any other company from similar privileges.
Perhaps they may succeed. They have sue
ceeded IN swindling the people out of all
their rights to any revenue from the ferry
tranchise--and now they seek more gigantic
monopolies still. We are not surprised that
the ONION sustains them.

.pIease find enclosed one dollar and fifty
cents, to pay the coming six months of the
Weekly ARGUS.
az am sorry to see that the democrats have
been defeated in Rock Island, while they are car
rying all the municipal elections IN the east,
particularly in the state Of New York, and many
others"
The democrats of Rock Island beat them
selves simply by their own Indifference and
want of harmony and united effort. Not
over two-thirds Of the democrats voted at
all, at the late election. The radicals dared
not allude to politics during the campaign;
but carried it on by falsehoods, personal
abuse and bribery. There has been no po-
litical change in the people of Rock Island.
Radiealism has not made single convert TO
its revolving theories
