GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

1 submit to your consideration the
Importance of providing for a thorough
and comprehensive geological survey
OF the State. Many years ago a par
tiaI survey was prosecuted, under
many difficulties and embarrasments,
which was fruitful of valuable results.
1t is beyond doubt that such a work,
as is now practicable to carry out, will,
by making known the mining, manu-
featuring and agricultural resources of
the State, lead to their development
to an extent which will, within few
years, amply reimburse the State for
its cost,

CENTRAL LUNATIC ASYLUM.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS.

The interests of common school ed
ucation, in my opinion, will be pro-
NOTED by the early adoption Of county
superintendencies, as provided in a
bill on that subject now pending in one
branch of the General Assembly. 1
earnestly recommend the cOnsid-
Grafton and passage of the bill. The
{ Commissioner of Common Schools is
required in the discharge of his duties,
to pay out each year for travelling ex-
penses about 800. The prOpriety Of
refunding to him out of the State
Treasury his travelling expenses will
probably not be called in Question.

the State Board Of Agriculture, in the
absense of effective legislation, it was
deemed proper to appoint commits

issued to prevent, ,ss far as practicable.
the introduction, movement or trans
portation of diseased cattle within the
limits of the State. The railroad com
panies and the owners of stock,
promptly complied with the REQUIRE
ment referred to, and the injury sus-
tanned by the cattle interests was hap
PLY not extensive. It is believed
that upon investigation it will be
found necessary to confer by law
upon Board Of Commissioners ap-
pointed for that purpose, or upon the
Executive Committee of the State
Board Of Agriculture, power to stamp
out the disease wherever it appears,
by destroying all infected cattle, and
to prohibit or regulate the transpOrta-
ton or movement Of stock within the
State during the prevalence Of the dis
ease. To the end that proper investi.
cation may be had, respectfully re-
commend that authority be given to
appoint five commissioners to attend

Richard Watlaeh, Esqr., Chairman, dc:
SIR: am directed by the House of Represen-
tatives, before whom have this day laid your
invitation to be present on the occasion of unveil
ing and dedicsting the statue of the late Presi-

count ola standing order requiring their presence
in the senate chamber at the time indicated, they
are compelled to decline the same.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
SCHUYLER CoLFAx, Speaker Fl. R.
About twenty thousand people witnessed
the ceremonies on the occasion, but if it had
not been for the exertions of citizens of the
dirtrict, which was at the beginning of the
war denounced as a "secesh hole" but little
homage would have been paid to the memo

TOWNSHIP LINES.

The line of Rock Island township should
be changed, extending it south on the Mo.
line line to Rock River, and then following
the shore of Rock River to its mouth, thence
up the Mississippi to the Moline line. This
would make a natural township, with natural
boundaries, the natural centre of which is
the court house. The city limits should also
be extended over exactly the same territory.
Other changes are also spoken of, as fol
lows:
The people of the fractional portion Of
Coal Valley, lying between Rock River and
the six mile square township of Coal Valley
including the village of Coal Valley want tc
be a township by themselves.
Also the people of that portion of Moline
south and east Of the bluffs. Coaltown and
vicinity, and also the people Of that portion
of Hampton known as Carbon Cliff and Vi.
cinity, are talking of petitioning the board
of supervisors to be erected into a new town
ship.
The board of supervisors is the compel
ent authority to make changes in township
lines, and create new townships.
Whether the public good will be subservec
by any or all of these changes is a question
for the board to determine.

Copperhead majority in Quincy ............ 81
Last year Quincy gave some five to seven hun
dred copperhead majority.
The above is from the Chicago Tribune,
and appeared as original, under the editorial
head of the Rim, Union, yesterday.
The Quincy Herald explodes the thing as
follows:
That is the way the Chicago Tribune
figures up cold comfort over the result OF
our city election last week. The people OF
all parties, will smile out loud, when they
read it. The Tribune puts Menke's whole
vote as his majority, and then puts Rowland
down as a republican, That's good. Here,
where the facts are known, it isn't necessary
to add a word to the Tribmne's figuring. If

however, that it is misleading its readers in
to the hope of electing a radical president
next fall, they will turn round and curse ii
bitterly after the presidential fight is over
The democracy of Quincy never achieved g
more decisive victory than they did at the
election last week. They elected their cit,
ticket, without the loss of man-their may
or, treasurer, clerk, &c, by from seven Il
eight hundred majority. Yet, "the republi
cans came very near carrying Quincy,
says the Tribune! o, yes just about a
near as they came to carrying Chicago! L

MENDACIOUs.

The mendacity of radical editors be.
passed into q. proverb. Their course of mis-
representation and falsehood has become
systematic and persistent The radical or
gan in this place first says the place where
the democratic county convention was held
was not stated; and when exposed in that
he' 1t then tells another by saying that the
place where it was held depends on the as
sertion of the ARGus-when it knows that
Inc published official proceedings, certified
to by the chairman and secretary, state
where it was held. This is only q sample
OF the course of the radical organ, in re
peatlng, over and over again, statements
which it knows are not true; statements
which have been again and again proven to
be falsehoods; and vet the little parrots Of
that concern, having no regard whatever for
their own reputation or that of their paper,
keep on repeating statements both they and
everybody else know to be wholly false. We
are not so much surprised, however, to see
such people pursue such course, as we are
to see a widely circulated paper like the

sufficient to warrant its introduction into
every house. Our own opinion is that no
family should be without a bottle of it for a

sores, DC, it is the most efectusl remedy
we know of. A bottle will last for very
long time, and its low price places it within
the reach of all. Our readers will remem-
