An ErFoRT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
We learn, from Mr.. John Deere, that Charles
Atkinson ESQ., of Moline, has started for
Washington to see if he can do anything
towards restoring the appropriations for this
locality. We hope he will be successful, but
it is almost hoping against hope, when we
consider that the radical managers of this
city are working the other way. BY their
course the laboring men, the mechanics, the
manufacturers, the traders, and the property
ownersIof this city will suffer heavily.

IuE DAVENPORT Cry CoUSCIL IN JAlL.-
The city debt controversy, at Davenport, is
assuming rather curious proportions. We
visited that happy burgh, Tuesday afternoon,
and were startled to learn that its dgnifed
City Council had just been showed into jail.
The rumor was rather of sensational char.
acter, but proved to be true, whereupon the
i'll fsted rulers became the recipients Of q
Eeg OF lager beer, gallon Of brandy and
the universal sympathy Of their fellow citi.
zens.
To explain the legal circumlocution which
led TO this result, would be much like eluci.
dating the famous "Kansas question The
"long and short Of the matter however is,
that the City Council passed resolution
directing the clerk to issue an order upon
the treasurer in favor of Mr. J. n. Rogers,
attorney for creditors, for the sum of$2, 66l.
The order was not paid, and warrant was
issued for the arrest Of the Mayor and Coun-
Gil on the ground of contempt in disobeying
the writ of msndamus served on them last
week. Mr.. Rogers believes that there exists
a conspiracy among the officials to evade
the payment of the order. This is denied.
The council was finally released on the re.
cognizance of its members, to appear again
this "wednesday afternoon, The Gdzetts
thinks that since the affair looks so much
like serious business, the order will be paid
at once.
