The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1868-03-09

The Washington correspondent, of tho n.
\. Herald INDUCES in speculations as to the
result of the Impeachment farce, and after
mentioning the names of the ten democratic
senators as sure to vote against conviction
of the President, says that the following
members of the radical party are almost as
sure to oppose the measure, viz. :-Senators
Anthony, Fessenden, Howe, Norton, Ross,
Sherman, Sprague, Upton, Trumbull, Van
Wrinkle, Wiley, Williams. Here we have
twenty-five senators who will not back up
Ihad. Stevens in his hostile attempt upon
the executive. According to the constitu-
ton no conviction can occur without a con-
currence Of two-thirds of the members nres-
ent There are now ffty-three members in
the senate, of which, say thirty-six would be
required for two-thirds. Take the ten demo-
Gratis and the twelve radicals TWENTY-FIVE in
an from hfty-three, and we have left only
shlrty'one senators in favor of impeachment.
This would fall short five of the reouired
number.

THE IOWA DEMOCRACY.

The Iosoa Statesman says that the radical
sheet, at Dssmoins, sent off garbled reso
luton as the one passed hy the Iowa democ
racy, representing that thsy assumed ground
in favor of paying the COLA bonds il green
backs and that garbled resolufion seems 2
have obtained : general circalation. The
following is the correct resolution, IS prln'
ted in the Statesman, from the origina'
copy:
Resolved, That for the maintenance Of The
na,;onai creai, We nedge the honor OF tne
democracv of Iowa but that we VIII ahs'-
terably oppose that policy which PROPOSES S
tba r;oh msn in gold and the poor man IA aepre-
csted currency and that We oeilesn .r4s we saI-
rency which is good enoas" epca snou@h 70,
hnnJholder and that the bonds of the govern
GIG wh;ch are made payable on their face in
al .f,,I money, popularity known AZ greenbackss
h.v;na been purchased with that kind Of money,
nav be justly and honorably redeemed with the
same; and it is the duty of the government to
pay them of as rapidly as they become due or the
financial safety of the country wip permit.
It will thus be seen that the Iowa democ-
racy pledge themselves for the maintenance
of the national credit" and simply announce
q fact which no one can controvert that a
currency "good enough for the poor man,
the soldier, the widow and orphan, is good
enough for the rich man and bondholders."
Also 'ithat the bonds of the government
which are made payable on their face, in
lawful money popularity known as green
backs, having been purchased with that kind
of money, may be Justly and honorabiy re-
deemed with the same and that it is the
duty of the government to pay them on
(how?l as rapidly as they become due or
the financial safety of the country VIII per-
mitn This is right.

Thurlow Weed republican, holds congress
by no means innocent in the present diff
eulties. He says :-"Congress did its ut
most to provoke and exasperate the Presi-
dent. They passed special laws depriving
him of prerogatives, powers, and patronage
enjoyed by all his predecessors, no matter
how widely congress differed with the exc
cutive. His usage and experience has beer
harder and rougher than any mere maj
could endure patiently" Of the President,
reconstruction policy, he says it "was en-
hghtened and patriotic, and if it had beer
adopted, would have restored the Union
prosperity. and happiness. The radical re-
construction policy was arbitrary, inconsis
tent, and demoraIizing, and occasions dis
union, ruin, and starvation" Thurlow viii

have the honor to respectfully request
that you viii furnish an answer to few
very simple questions, which presume can
be very readily answered by any one con-
versant with pol itical matters:
What "uuion" did Mr.. Lincoln allude TO
when he would "save the union by either
freeing none, or part, or the whole OF the
slaves
What were Mr. Lincoln's views of the
fitness of the negro for immediate franchise,
when, at the peace conference with Ste
phens, he pressed thirty years for the eman
cipation of the slaves, as the terms peace?
And what did he mean, in his speech a few
nights before his death, in speaking of the
rebels, when he said, "Let them 60 home,
and, if possible, believe they have never
been away from home p
What did George Washington mean when
he said, in his Farewell Address, "But the
constitution, which at any time exists, till
changed by the explicit and authentic act
of the ,otole people, is sacredly obligatory
upon alp" lf
By whom are the heads ofthe departments
appointed ? Who are the constitutional
advisers of the president? And when was
the. constitution changed on this subject?
What form of government does the United
States guarantee to every state in the union!
Can any state be deprived of equal suffrage
in the senate of the United Staies2 What
is the law if an act of congress should be
contrary to the constitution?
IF the Rock Island Railroad company
should employ three men,-oue by name of
Legislature, sending him to Joliet, and dsG-
ming his duties there; one by the name of Er-
ecutire, sending him to Morris. aud defining
his tiuties there: and another by name Of
judiciary, sending him to Ottawa, and de-
| timing his duties there and, in few dave,
| the company should find all three at Morris,
| tearing up the track,-would the superinten-
| dent go down, and pat them on the back,
and call them good boys, and promise them.

| hen and how did the southern states
get out OF the union? Was it by war or
treaty If the former. at what battle or
battles ,s.a 4sg,. Asssg E. esag'3IsE s.
Could not the Legislatures ofaHthe 'loyal'
states be induced to pass "tenure-of-ofice

panies, manufacturers, and, even merchants
can discharge their head clerks, and so down
TO the lowest menials I; and the parties. thus

TO the PUBLIC of ROCK ISLAND.

pEING ASKED VERY OFTEN FOR MY
- opinion about the Elastic Sponge, find it
necessary 10 make statement of its qualities, as,
probably. the only man in Rock Island who can
tell whether il Is better. more healthy and more
profitable than Hair. A Hair Mattress made of
the best pure horse-hair with the best of feather
tick to il, fl. in. by fl. 2 in. weighing 40
lbs. viii cost $50; covered with the same quality
of tick as the Sponge Mattress il will cost emily
Ss4. The Sponge is prepared with Glycerine,
which never gets dry, so that the tick win al
ways be damp. Every bi, of dust will stick TO
it, and the result viii he, that on account of the
grease and dust, it will have TO be washed every
half year. Washing will cost, say % cts. re-
stuffng, Sl-Sl IS. Say once in years it wants
= new tick las the frequent washing will spoil it,,
which win cost, with sewing and resulting, IS /;
use il another years, and it will cost you in 10
years, for washing and resulting is times, $a2 50;
for new tick, S., TO which add the original
cost, $780, being, in all, $50 50,
The Hair Mattress will be just as good after
10 years as the former. without having had q
new case, say il has been washed and done over
twice in that time, which will cost Sc. and bring
the Mattress up to S40 instead of the Spon &c
Mattres. which costs S57 Sea- difference ofSl7 50
in favor of the Hair Mattress. The Sponge Mat
tress is recommended to be more healthy than
the Hair Mattress-it never was proved. Steam
cured hair is no more unhealthy than the hair on
the head. It can be proven By any physician
that it is unhealthy to sleep in damp bed for .
number Of years, TO say nothing about laying in
the sweet 'uice of the glycerine, If the human
body should touch the uncovered mattress.
There is no dominant upholstering house in the
city of New York for reference. and no uphoi-
sterer can recommend the Elastic Sponge to his
customers with good conscience.
