GRANT AND CoLFAx CONSTITUTION CLrB,
THIRD WARD.-This club held its third meet
ing last evening. The room was crowded,
although rollcall showed number absent.
There was a quiet, earnest enthusiasm in
the proceedings that showed great earnest
ness of purpose. The club is oficered en-.
tirely by colored men. The President made
an animated speech, stating the induce
ments thrown out to colored voters by Dem
ocratic recruiting sergeants. He told his
hearers that they would receive millions Of
Democratic promises:up to the time of toe
election; but after that the performance
would not amount to one quarter cent on
the dollar. He showed where the true in
terest of the colored voters lay, and that q
prosperous future was in their own hands
if they would properly use the protecting
franchise that Congress had bestowed upoI
them. After necessary business, including
collection to meet ensuing expenses, the
club adjourned to meet on Monday next.

Mrs. Freeman charged Mrs. Richardson
with abuse and assault. The parties formed

Nor HuSa.-Y yesterday morning we pub
lished an item referring to the hanging Of
three gamblers in Omaha, one being DR..

informs us that he has long letter from
the doctor dealing Of certain transactions
that did not take place. The letter was
written two weeks after the hanging is said
to have occurred, and Gays that neither Of
the three have handed in their checks. The
story originated from the fact that soldier

The POLICE AND THE COMMON Council
The meeting of the City Council last even
ing was called principally for the purpose
of considering the letter of the Police dele
CATION. Several members of both Boards,
the Treasurer and Mayor, met in the May
or's parlor previous to the regular meeting,
and held long consultation, the result of
which did not appear to be intended for the
public. Messrs. Sturcken and Poynot would
not Join them in the caucus and protested
against such proceedings. One thing was
very EVIDENT The members were fully i'm.
pressed with the idea that the time had ar
rived when it becomes imperative for some
action to relieve the urgent wants of several
| hundred city employees. One action of the
Council appears excellent on its face. It is
all very well for the Council to pass Law
to pay the back payrolls, but it must
be known, and we now state il for all CON
cerned that policemen have, in consequence
Of certain action Of both Boards OF Alder

The Ku-Klux Khan appears to be mystic
rious organization of disfranchised southern
whites, who naturally enough are FESTIVE and
dissatisfied under disfranchisement and black
rule. If the reign of malignant radicahsm
shall continue much longer in this country,
we venture to prophesy that the south will
be as full of secret associations as ever was
Ireland or Poland. The Kuklux Klans are
counterscting the Black Union Leagues Of
the south. They know the negroes thor.
oughly and succeed in frightening them eff
fectually. Letters written in blood, purport-
ing to come from loyal Africans in the in
fernal regions, recounting the horrors Of
their second death as punishment of their
secret political oaths, are sent to the mos,
superstitious and influential leaders of the
black league. These ssnguinary letters are
said to do more to demoralize the blacks
and impair the efficiency of the leagues than
half dozen political campaigns would do

The are.nbask Question in New York.

The principle of paying the hve-twenty
bonds in ereenbacks, is just as popular
among the masses of the people in New
York. as it is in the west. The New York
city press being under bondholding influence,
don't give expression to the sentiment, but
it exists, nevertheless. It is reported, in a
measure, by the country press. Thus the
Whitehall Times, published in Washington
county, says:
During the war it was claimed by the
fathers of this financial policy, that green
backs were as good as gold, and so congress,
in fit of loyalty, passed law declaring
paper was the value of gold, and that water
must run up HILL Citizens were incarcerat-
ed in federal bastiles because they question
ed the divinity of greenbaeks. Now it is
proposed to pay the government debt in the
legal currency Of the country, upon which is
engraved the following words:
"This note is a legal tender for all debts, pub
lie and private, except duties on imports and in
terest on the public debt and is receivable in Ry
ment of all loans made to the United Ststes.'t
'Lo, and behold The country is start
led with this proposition Of reputation.
Radicals cannot receive the legal currency
of the country in payment of bonds. All!
the villains have invented a new rule OF In
fanny. They now want gold-the pound OF
flesh and quart of christian blood. Taxa
ton of the laborers cottage is right and just,
and so is the taxation of bonds. One prin,
ciple must govern this question. Equality
of taxation and one currency for all the
debts. The people demand 1.-THE people
will have it."
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1868-04-14
THE CONVICTION.

Some honest republicans imagine that unless
Andrew Johnson is convicted and removed from
office the party is lost. A failure to accomplish
this end would undoubtedly show such criminal
weakness on the part of the senate that the peO-
pie would become disguised with them, and the
republicans might lose some eleetions.-Rims
Union.
The fdgety atom which presides over the
destinies of our neighboring journal, some
times lets out the truth, even when it don't
intend to. 1t is such exceedingly small
game, that it cannot, of course, be expected
to know very much about the programme of
its party, but common discretion should oc-
cssionally teach it: something. 1t is the
popular radical superstition that the Rump is
trying President Johnson. Our little oracle
asserts, however that if he dis not conricted, y
the Washington mountebsnks will have all
JacobiRism about their cars, and will be
punished by the loss of "some elections,
and the general indigna ton of their beloved
disciples. If they do not conDict the Presi-
dent, without regard to truth, law, or justice,
they will be guilty of"criminal weakness, "
and will disgust" their highly fastidious fol-
lowers. This is a fine disqualification of
radical ideas, although coming from such an
insignificant source. No matter what the
testimony may tend to prove, or what the
laws may tend TO sustain, or what the plain
est and most apparent principles of right
may dictate, the Presiden. must be connected.
An Austrian court-martial could not be
more to the point in such matters. If every
law is to be outraged, and every right tram
pied under foot, and every precedent disre-
guarded and every safeguard destroyed, why
have recourse to such tedious measures, and
by a ruinous, suicidal policy, paralyze the
business of the entire country? Why no t
make one holder stride, and without pretense
or palliation, execute your despotic meas
ures. A little respect able audacity might
lift your utter farce above public contempt,
and save the country hundreds of thousands
OF dollars IN needless expenses. The mask
of tyranny is wholly penetrated by the peo-
pie, and whether Andrew johnson Is convic-
ted or acquitted, the result will be the same.
The people are already "disgusted." No
decent republican pretends to endorse the
outrageous acts of congress, and the thunder
tones of Connecticut are but the prelude tc
the tempest ofindignation which viii soon
sweep the entire land, and bury radicalism
80 deep that century will not unearth it.

Great Sale of Fine Stock.
From the JacksonYille fIlll ]

From the jacksonville ILL Journal.
The sale of J. II. Spears herd of short
horned cattle and other blooded stock, two
miles east of Taliulah, came of, as adver-
tised, on the I'd inst. The weather was all
that could have been desired, and the atten-
dance very full, considering the choiceness
of the stock. Over 200 gentlemen were
present from all parts of the western coun-
try, and several, we believe, from Canada.
4 very fine lot of mules was disposed of in
the forenoon, at fair figures, but the actual
sale did not begin till after dinner. A col
lation was served to the assembled purchas-
ers and gazers-on, when the sale was opened.
Membrino Chief, fine stallion, ! years
old, was knocked down to E. Cobb, of Kan
kakee, at S505, which all seemed to think q
good bargain for the purchaser.
The magnificent bulls, Grant and Duke
of Menard, were sold at $720 and $3.50 re
spectively, the first to William Beverly, of
Logan county the latter to W. c. Kent, of
Iowa. A two-year-old heifer was sold TO Mr.,
S. II. Jones, of Sangamon county, at : l .065;
a four-year-old mich COW was knocked down
to Mr.. Beverly, for 81, 900. j. H. Pickerill,
of Harristown, was the highest bidder for
Nelly BLY,, a beautiful six year-old. He bid
81 100 for her, and Immediately resold her
to Mr.. Spears for 500 advance on his bid
The thirty-four catalogued animals, a great
er part of which were calves, were sold on
an average at 1886 head. We remarked
a Aery decided preference among buyers for
young stock. 1t was altogether collection
of animals only surpassed in Arcadia.
