IT has been distinctly and officially
notified to Queen Isabella that she cannot
be received at the French Court with royal
honors. Ifshe chooses to reside in Paris,
her ex-majesty must understand that she
can only do so as Madame Isabella de
Bourbon, and in fact be considered a pr.
vate individual.

nearly equal to the Republican majority In
the State in October, which isn't bad ac

Democratic, until Judge Wilmot conquered
them to our faith. We believe this Dis

THE ROCK ISLAND COUNTY SOLDIERS
MONUMENT.

By invitation we visited the photograph
rooms of Messrs. Newberry & Solander, this
forenoon, and examined the design adopted
by the committee, and now being photo
graphed in pictures of three sizes. 1t was
designed by the well known sculptor, Leon
ard W. Volk formerly a resident of this
city, where he and his wife resided, until,
through the aid of his relative, the late Ste.
phen A. Douglas he went to Italy to perfect
himself in his art. Though now resident
est in him, and looks with no little pride
upon his rising fame. The design for the
monument Is very appropriate and tasteful,
and brief description of it NAV not be I'M

exclusive of the mound upon which it will
stand, will be thir.y-three feet, with square
base of ten and half feet. At each of the
four corners is placed cannon resting on
their trunnions, with laurel wreaths suspend
ed from the top of each. A solid pedestal,
three and half feet square, with smaller

names of soldiers. The corners of the ped

relief, and moulding of cannon balls. An
octagonal shaft, fourteen and 81 half feet in
length is placed on the pedestal, the lower
part ornamsnted with flags furled ND, musk
cts, United States shield, wreath of ,anraI
and crowned with cap, upon which stands a

Gates of the early redemption of the matured
and maturing 5-20's, according to law, come
from this class of bondholders. They viii
raise this or any other cry which they think
nil enable them TO hold their wealth EXEMPT
from all taxation. They want the industrial
and producing classes OF the country 70 make
their bonds worth dollar for dollar in gold.
They demand that all laws shall be such az
their interests dictate. It il this class of
men, blinded to their own interests, really, as
well as hostile to the interest of the tax pay
er, and every man engaged in active bust
ness, which seems anxious to create a mon
eyed aristocracy to own mortgage on the
nation; to be paid, principal and interest,
by the producing fassess a thing which
can not exist ina free government without
destroying its character.
II il easy 10 foresee what, in this country,
where but a small fraction of the people are
bond holders, must be the consequences of
such efforts. Bondholders should not de-
ceive themselves as ID what the people ask.
Now they ask that the mortgage upon their
property and their labor shall be paid, when
due, as provided in the bond, and this Just
demand is met with Pronunciation and mis-
representation. But bondholders will learn
that the people knos what they ask that
no sophistory can longer deceive them that
no party lines or platforms can bind an over
taxed people in their support, especially
when injustice, in some form, has surcharged
almost every act Of legislation of the party

In recent number of the National Incl

In a recent number of the National Incl
Egencer we find carefully prepared ske'ch
of Gen Hancock. We copy as follows:
1t will be observed that, although up to
the time of his assignment to the commsnd
of the middle Military Division his em-
mand was nominally but one corps, yet wen
we look at the actual part played by him in
the great battles OF the war, we lind him IN
almost every instance selected, on the S'ot,
for the command of large bodies of troop III
addition TO his own corps, to hold some ar
ticular post of danger, or to make some N
portant movement or assault. This was he
case at Gettysburg the "Wildernes,
"Spottsylvania," "Reams' Station, "lsep
Bottom" and the movements and ene.ge-
ments near Petersburg, Va. Thus, whist
the success of our arms in many of our al
ties was mainly achieved by his commands,
yet the credit of the victories was genealiy
imputed to the COMMANDMENT Chief.

VALUE AND Cosr OF BULLIoN.-On this
subject the Nevada Transcript has tho
following:
Tho gradual increase in tho wealth and tax
able property Of Nevada county, during the
na,t six years, while every other mining
county, with the exception OF Amador, per
hapU,] has as visibly declined, is something
for tic fnaucier to look into and carefully
Investigate. In 1860 Grass Valley was a
small and unimportant town, while Nevada
was merely living upon her position as the
county seat and the halcyon memories OF do
partcd days. To-day Grass Valley 10 pos
sessed Of a larger population than Marysyillc,
and Nevada has not a house to let. The
cause OF this prosperity 10 not any sudden
rich strike by which some poor, honest mi
ner, while scraping the bedrock for a grub.
stake" has found a boulder Of solid gold. It
is the result OF careful and thorough pros:
pectine tho quartz lodges, and Of cheap and
economical working when those lodges are
found. The proposition is that an ounce OF
gold /, worth seventeen dollars; how much
Is il going to cost q man to get it? While
tho mining business in the Territory Estate y
of Nevada has been conducted on a most
foolish and extravagant basis, here people
have been prudent and made their mills more
useful than ornamental. The large mill OF
the Gould & Curry Company cost $4,000,
and is loorcd with marble. That Of the
Eureka Company in this county did not cost
over 1913, 900, and is just as serviceable. At
Virginia City men pay from Sl4 to S2O per
cord for FIRE wood; here they can get all they
want for 81. There is also a proportionate
difference in the cost Of lumber, provisions,
and, consequently, Of labor. So It has be.
COM a we'll settled fact that any mine in Ne
vada county whose rock will yield $50 to the
ton, is better property than ore in Virginia
city that will yield $50. Take the Eureka,
Banner, North Star, Empire, Mozambique
and Pittsburg, and where can six other mines
be found that will yield so fair returns on
such small first OUTLAWS?
