THE AmorOus Captain, and his partner,
the Pop Corn Peddler, continue to make
themselves ridiculous in regard to the late
township election. First, they take it for
granted that every ticket printed at their
Office, which was found in the ballot box,
was east by republican, This is the heighth
of absurdity, for the reason that all persons
who wanted to use scratched ticket were
compelled TO use the republican ticket, the
democratic ticket being so printed that it
was almost impossible to interline names.
1t is, therefore impossible to tell whether these
ballots were cast by republicans or demo
Gratis. Second, the radical organ argues that,
because few neighbors of the republican
candidate for collector, persons living around
him, in the LIST ward, who knew him and
sympathized with him in his misfortunes,
and voted for him,-men who did not know
the democratic candidate-the radical organ
therefore argues that the democratic party
cut its own candidate. Neither the demo-
cratic candidate for collector nor his friends
want any advice or sympathy from the radi-
cal organ. They know perfectly well that
the democratic party, as party, was true to
its nomination, and that if any democrat
voted for the republican candidate it was
not from any in-will to our candidate, but
was from sympathy with an unfortunate
neiehbor who they had known and respected
| for years.

The CONFIDENCE GAME.-William Watson,
James Leary, and an accomplice by the
name of Clark, were brought to this city
from Cordovs. on the midnight train last
night, (the 24th) and lodged in jail. They
were on board of the Phil Sheridan, at
Princeton, Iowa, and very anxious to
fleece some one by the "snuf-box confidence
game" They soon picked up a victim in
the person of German by the name OF
Joseph c. Good, who became interested in
the little operation and pulled out his
pocket book and bet $40. This the thieves
.gobbied up and attempted to get away
Good followed, and received severe pom
melting for his pains. He finally traced
them to Cordova, and caused the arrest of
the parties, who were brought to this city
for preliminary examination as mentioned
They made strenuous endeavor to have the
the case come off at Port Byron, aud offered
every inducement for that purpose, but with
out avail. The case will probably come u1
| this evening or on Monday. Curtis & Os
born for the prosecution, and Sweeney &
jackson for the defence.
Mr.. Good is a well.behaved young man
who resides in Nauvoo, in this state He haG
been to Dubuque, selling grape vines, and
was on his return home, when he fell in with
these swindlers and was robbed ofhis money
On searching the parties, when they wer'
committed to jail, considerable more none!
was found upon them than Mr.. Good hat
lost. We hope he win get his money back
and that the thieves win receive their jus
punishment. -. -.
