If Hotf-s Malt Extract Health Beverage
proves its great value as dietetic, nourish-
ing, and healing remedy by its enormous
consumption throughout the world during
the past eighteen years if the scientific
bodies of all civilized countries have united
in its praise and bestowed upon its originator
many medals and diplomas if the most en-
inent physicians recommend it IN their prac-
tice to their debilitated patients, and to those
suffering from diseases of the Throat. Chest,
and Lungs, or afflicted with Dyspepsia Foul
Stomach, Loss of Appetite, ETC.; if its in
PRODUCTION into the principal hospitals OF
Europe and America has done wonders, as
the official reports will testify, then we feel
that the American public are justified in
their appreciation of its great value, and IN
their discrimination between Hoff's Malt Ex-
tract Health Beverage and the innumerable
so-called remedies and tones of the day,
which are short-lived by reason of the slight
foundation on which they build their reputa-
ton but Hof9s Malt Extract Health Bev-
erage has been steadily increasing its con.
sumption for the past eighteen years, and is
more popular to day than ever, and wherever
introduced has met with well-merited sue

A Mysterious Affair

A wide track wagon and two heavy bodied
bay horses with harness was abandoned in
Duncan township, in this county, Saturday
week ago. At least on that day the horses
strayed to the premises of Mr.. Thirtyacre.
Several days afterwards the wagon was found
in slough near the Rock Island line.
Where the wagon was discovered was also
found pistol by the side of the slough, and
some old clothes, books, slate, hair brush.
and map of Iowa, Missouri and Kansas,
which were found buried in the slough. The
name in the books is David Sloup. The
person driving this team stayed all night
with Mr.. Lamb near Pre- Emption, Friday
night week ago. A person was seen next
day on the Muscatne road near Drury s
mill, carrying q satchel and clothing, and
was again seen nearer Muscatine in differ
ent clothing and otherwise changed in ap-
pearance the same day. purse was also
found buried in the slough with the clothing,
made of material similar to rubber.oyercoats.
it was empty. The person who owed the
books was from Pennsylvania and has been
soldier. An open trunk was found in the
wagon that had been emptied. 1t is feared
there was foul play at the bottom of this
matter.-lAercer County Press, March 3lst.

HIe JACKET LOGAN.


Poor John Loganl how the radical jour.
nails and their correspondents do scalp him.
Each and all of them consider him a fair
quarry for their shafts. be merely serves
as a. contrast to the other "learned and bril-,
liant lawyers and gentleman" composing
the house managers. He is the naughty
bow with the fools cap on his head, and the
birch in his hand, but whose very Ignorance
and wickedness serve to set off the intelli-
gence of the other pupils Of the school. he
is the dark shading of the grand radical ple'
ture now presented, in the senate cnamper,
to the gaze and worship OF the faithiui
throuphout the land. Some philosophers
and theologians maintain that there can De
no light without darkness, no sunshine with,
ont shadow. no good without evil, no truth
without falsity, and no heaven without its
opnosite hell. On this principle | suppose
the radicals in the house of representatives
composed the committee of Impeachment
managers on the part of the house, and con
sequently placed Logan upon it. But could
they not have selected the black sheep from
any other state bat Illinois? One radica
correspondent says that Logan is no more
use on the committee Ethan fifth vince

count whatever another speaks of his

that he "did not intend 10 be bought off, or seare
off or driven off hut would do his duty in fac

The Two Thirds Majority in Congress.

The evils of one political party, and that
party very bitter one, having two.thirds
majority in both branches Of congress are
manifold. The law-making power is per
verted to merely partisan ends. The radI-
cal party is not entitled by its numbers to
such a preponderance in the national legis-
latare Some of the radical leaders in con-
gress are representing districts which are
now democratic, or were so at the last fall
elections in New York and Pennsylvania
The equilibrium of the federal government
is entirely destroyed by the present undue
and unwarranted radical preponderance in
congress. The presidential office, because
its present incumbent happens to differ with
congress, is being completely undermined
Then again, if states do not happen to send
senators or representatives who are satisfac
tory to the radicals, they are excluded from
representation on party grounds. This state
of things in the federal government is sean
dalous in the extreme. The majority, who
control congress and its legislation, are abus
ing and misusing their temporary power
shamefully.-Boston Courier.

The New York Times inquiries whether
Logan has not been bought off in that mat
ter of the treasury frauds. It will be re-
membered that when he made his startling
announcement of monstrous peculations in
that department, he closed his terrible speech
by asserting that he "did not intend to be
bought off, or scared off, or driven off, but
would do his duty in the face of all the mer
and all the powers and all the committees
on earth or in Heaven Now we do not In
tend to call in question the veracity of this
honorable gentleman, for he made his &C
cusations in such deliberate form, repeating
them day or two after, that nothing shori
of the lie direct-and that to the face of one
of the managers of mpeachment-eould op
pose them. They bear the mark of ar
honest, too honest, conviction. We have
his own word for it that they are supported
by ample evidence. Neither can we allow
without violence TO his bristling manhood
that he has been either scared or driven
but we are forced to the conclusion that he
has yielded, where many better man has
| and been bought Off For, although hi!
| charges were made more than two weeks
| ago, he has up to this time neglected to fur
nish the proof which we know, upon his owl
word, Is IN his possession, and the accom-
plices of counterfeiters and bond thieves are
| still untouched through his venal connivance
| There is some excuse for him, in that he il
probably short of funds on account of tn,
| bankruptcy of the Ohio radical committee
and we trust for his pockets sake that b,
| did not sell out cheap; but that doesn't bet
| ter his position morally, nor will it add mucl
to the force of his next declaration of furiou
gh-mindedness.- Post.

Insults to our Foreign Born Citizens by tn
Organ of the Rock Island Radicals

Organ of the Rock Island Radicals
Read what the organ of the Rock Island
radicals says of our naturalized citizens:
Dutch, Irish, Welsh, &c., being deceived by
the high sounding term democracy" are
marched up TO the registry Office and sworn
through as voters, before they've had time to
learn whether an American citizen is expected to
walk on his bands or his feet. 1t is such men as
these, ignorant of our language, our laws, in
stitutions-ignorant of everything that fits a
man for citizenship, who always ont-vote our
respectable native born population Rock Island
d Moline Onion.
These are some of the insults heaped up
on our naturalized citizens by the organ of
the Rock Island radicals. And yet, while it
objects to intelligent white men, who have
lived here five years, becoming citizens, it
favors making voters of all the ignorant me-
groes, the field hands of the south, who can
neither read nor write, and who know no
more about the duties Of citizens than the
mules they drive. And it does this knowing
that these ignorant brutes outuumber the
intelligent white people. The radical organ
has shown its know nothingism in unmistak-
able colors. 1t sneers at what it calls the
"Duteh, Irish, Welsh, &c." says they "are
marched up to the registry office and sworn
through as uoters, before they're had time tt
learn aohether an american citizen aoas er
Pected TO ~olk on has hands on has feet,
though 1t knows they cannot be voters unit
they have been here FIVE years, And moi
satisfied with this exhibition of hate toward;
the people it calls dutch Irish, Welsh, dc, ,
it adds that they are ignorant of our Ian
galage, oar lars, our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Of eUerything that fits man for citizen
ship and then complains that they "out
vote our respectable matire-bOr-n population
Could impudent know nothingism be NOR
insulting to our naturalized citizens?
In effect, the radical organ says that in
tellegent white men, who come here abov
the age of l6 years, and remain here fiv
years land in that time they generally be
come well acquainted with the language
laws, institutions, &c., are not fit to exercis
the rights of citizens, while the ignorant feel,
niggers of the south are well qualified to d
so. How do our naturalized citizens like it
