Among the republicans prominently mentioned
in connection with the nomination for representa-
tive so the legislature, is Capt. j. A Jordan, OF
Coal Valley, one of the best and most enterpris-
ing farmers of that town. John Bufum, of An
dalusia, is also spoken of, and is good man.
Rim Union.
A question of some interest might be rails,
ed in regard to Jordan, should he be elected
viz Is there any certainty on which side
he would be found after election. In 1864
he made speech and wrote letter in ia.
vor of Mcclellan, and on election day didn't
vote for anybody. If his influence was Civ.
en- to Mcclellan and Pendleten up to cleo
ton day, and then he couldn't decide be-
tween them and Lincoln and johnson, and
so didn't vote at all, is there any certainty
where be would be foand in similarly
tight place? But it is wholly radical fam
lily matter, and one in which we take no
part. The democrats of this county, how
ever, intend to save all trouble on the ques-
ton by carrying the county themselves, next
fall.

BOARD OF TRApE.-At the city council
room, last evening, the board of trade met,
and resolved that, in future, its regular
weekly meetings shall be on Tuesday eve
nings. Several new members were elected
and several candidates proposed.
The report on Union Square was approved,
and Henry Dart, VIM. Eggleston and John
George appointed to urge the city council to
adopt its suggestions, viz: get quit claim
deeds from the heirs of Jonah Case, and
then lease the ground for building purposes.
The boat yard committee reported pro-
gress, and it being stated that Mr.. Cable had
made proposition in regard to accommo-
dating the boat yard with river front from
his grounds, committee was appointed TO
ask the city council to vacate the streets
running through said lots.
A committee was appointed to get up a
petition to the town clerk to call another
election on the Peoria railroad question.
The town clerk ought not to do any such
thing, unless ordered BY a mandamus from
the circuit court. The law does not contem-
plate but one election on that question and
Rock Island has held one. Let that end it.
IF the minority have the right to call out
the people second time they have for an
indefinite number of times, and there will
be no end to the elections on the question.
1t is no answer to say that other towns have
held second and third elections. Because
their town clerks did not know or do their
duty is no reason why ours should not. The
people of this township expect our town
clerk to refuse to call any more elections on
that question, unless ordered to do so by the
circuit judge. Then, of course, he will do

A HAPPY CouPLE.-By notice in yester-
days paper, it will be seen that our Henry,
the motive power of our press room, has tax
en- partner for life. It is not quite two
years since Henry left his German Water
land, coming directly to Rock Island and
immediately engaging in our office, where he
has been ever since, never losing day and
always performing his part with cheerful
promptness. Careful in his habits and care
iul of his earnings, he has been enabled to
save money enough to send back to his old
home for his sweetheart, who arrived here
about four weeks ago. Last Sunday, in the
Catholic church, they were married, and
have quietly settled down to housekeeping
and happiness. Yesterday Henry rolled a
barrel of lager into the Argus Office, and
all hands" Joined in wishing the happy
couple long and jolly and prosperous lils.

SHOCKING AFFAIR.-From one of the
officers of the steamer Keithsburg, we learn
the particulars of shocking affair which
look place on Sunday (26th) at Dallas City.
A married man by the name of Mooney,
who had resided there no longer than
month, committed fendish outrage upon
the person of little girl eleven years of
age, daughter of a widow lady by the name
of Reed, residing there, and highly respecta-
bly, connected. 1t seems that he invited the
child to take boat ride with him, and car
ried her across the river to Green Bay Bot
tom, lonely and unfrequented locality, and
there consummated his diabolical design
She was much injured, and half dead with
fright and horror, was brought back to the
Illinois shore, and landed about mile be-
low town, where the villain left her to make
her way back home as best she might. She
had been thus abandoned but short time,
before she was noticed by some passers by,
to whom she related the story of her terrible
wrong. She was at once provided for, after
which the alarm was gwen. The citizens
turned out en- masse, and secured the scoun-
drel in less than an hour. He made no at
tempt to deny the commission of the crime,
and it was with the most strenuous exer-
tons that the cooler minded citizens could
prevent the immediate sacrifice of the wretch
to the fury of his excited captors. With
crest difficulty he was conveyed to place
of confinement, and locked up for safety
and trial. During the ensuing night, a
strong guard was required to preserve him
from summary execution. The feelings of
the widowed mother are painful beyond de-
scriptiou. Although severely injured, it is
said that the child will recover. May justice
to the culprit be melted out to the fullest
extent.

MOLINE DEMI-JoHN.-Did any of our rea
ders ever see Moline demi,j john? There
are numerous styles of this article, but the
Moline style is the neatest, sweetest cheap
est, and gayest in the business We saw
one on Saturday. Tt is apparently nothing
more than square travelling satehel, with q
strap-handle on the top, and is one of the
most innocent looking arrangements IN the
world. By the twist of a little key, however,
the top is raised, and 10! and behold there
maiestically reposes simon pure jug, of
the Argillo pattern, filed with as delicious
"old Kentucky rye" as ever cooled the throat
of weary pilgrim in this vale Of tears. To
such extremes are the good livers of Moline
driven in order to escape the prosecutions Of
the Blue Book disciples of that city.

light of its God-and-wster party-a member
of the Good Templars' lodges and stiff

ConpRoMIsED.-The tobaceo-box conf.
dence men have made compromise with
their victim by giving up his money, he
leaving for home, and they being released
This was probably the best thing that could
be done. The crime was not committed IN
this state and of course they could not be
tried here. We understand that there IS no
law in Iowa forbidding the game they
played, and, of course, it would be useless
to hold them for q requisition. The Nau-
VOC man having got his money back was, of
course, made very happy, and probably
won't bet on the tobacco box again. The

and get off cheap. One of them has the

until he is somewhat better.

related pathetic tale of persecution, from
which his arrest resulted; stated that he
worked in foundry at Geneseo; that wife
and four lovely babes there awaited, unpro-
vided, for his return; admitted that he had
taken "a little beer;" and, by various details,
represented himself as frail and unfortu-
nate specimen of fallen humanity, but thor
oughly imbued with the determination TO
rise again. He further promised to leave
town instanter, if Only permitted to do so.
He was very leniently dealt with. A fine of

misted excepting that for the arrest. His

The bright intellects which preside over
the columns of the Rim Union are destined
to immortal glory. No other brains could
conceive such brilliant ideas. Witness the
following:
From last evenings Argus we have further
news of the democratic county convention, though
that paper still fails to state where the delegates
met.-Rim Caion, April H.
It (the radical eonvention) was q striking con
trast to the "back alley secret session affair of
the democracy, which nobody-not even the ''sub'
of the Argus could locate.-Rim Union, ApriI
20.
The particular brilliancy of the above ex-
tracts will be seen at once, when we publish
| the following extract from the official pro-
ceedings of the democratic county conven-
ton, which appeared in the EVENING ARGUS,
of the 18th inst, and the WEEKLY ARGUS, of
the 18th instant, viz:
'The democratic county convention assembled
IN the court house an Rock Island on Saturday,
April 18th" DC, &c.
Pears to US that that locates the conven-
ton and proves the editors of the Union to
to be willful Or stupid blunderers.
Dry GOODS of all kinds, the best assert
ment and the lowest prices east of New York
are now offered at Wadsworth's.
The Rim Union wants to know why the
lowest men on our ticket were Irishmen.
They we're not. The highest man was Mitsch,
who received 573. The next highest was
Stoddard 5l1. Then came an Irshman and
a catholic, Woods, who received 508-with-
in three of Stoddard, and seven more than
Blanding, and IL more than Jacob Ohlweil-
er. Here was an Irishmsn and catholic
who received higher vote than the average
of the ticket, while only two men out of the
seven candidates received higher vote than
he did. Does this look like playing off on
the Irish n No indeed. 1t simply shows
that the question of Irishmen or catholics
had nothing whatever to do with it-but
that there were other reasons which actuated
| men in voting-reasons which no party could
control, and which no party is responsible
for. The. Union is getting to be very silly,
| in its efforts to prejudice Irishmen against
| the democratic party. Irishmen do not want
| the sympathy or advice of such men as run
the Union. Nor will they forget how vigor-
ously the clique that runs that paper rejoie-
ed over the defeas--of one of their friends.
The editors of the Union and the Jim Beard
sley set claim that republican votes elected
every democrat who was elected Then, of
course, the lack of republican votes was
what defeated the candidate who failed of
his election. Of course, then, republicans,
not democrats, were responsible for his de.
feat. And republicans were the only peo-
pie who rejoiced over his defeat.
