Ice AT A PREMIUM.-The Davenport Ga
zette states that parties from st. Louis have
been in that city, within the last two days,
cndeavoring to purchase all the ice that has
been packed there during the winter, and
Offering the most liberal prices. They did
not succeed in making any contracts. The
Gazette further says that these parties pur.
chased three thousand tons Of ice of Mr.
John R. Reynolds, of Rock Island, paying
therefor at least four dollars per ton. This
is mistake. Mr.. Reynolds has twenty
four hundred tons, and has had several
propositions from dealers at distance, but
has not yet sold.
A dealer from Keokuk, below which point
no ice has been packed, came through here
few days ago, and endeavored to buy a
thousand tons, but not succeeding, left for
Clinton.
The St. Louis parties stated that the com
pany which they represented had $4,000
tons contracted for at different points on the
upper Mississippi, and yet such scarcity is
threatened in the southern portions of Hi.
nois, Iowa, and the south, that they are anx'
ious to secure as much more.
The Dubuque papers state that their city,
and the points above, are daily visited by
ice.buyers from every direction. One firm
there, which has rather monopolized the
business, is shipping from three to five cars
per day down the Illinois Central to Cairo.
Some enterprising spectators have even
gone as far north as Lake PePtn. 1t IS said
that the ice packed between Rock Island
and Keokuk is of an inferior quality. Ice
packers in this city may congratulate them
selves on having the prospect Of reaping a
harvest of greenbackS during the approach
| ing summer.

Commemorative regret that through on
error of ours in copying the report of the
secretary Of the Third ward meeting we did
Capt Copp injustice. 1t was not Capt
James f. Coup who introduced the resoIu

not that of the secretary.

THIyGs TO BE REMEMBERED. --.Murdock is
responsible for the following, as compared
with the democratic administration which
preceded him:
|. He has compelled the people to pay
heavier taxes.
,. He has increased the ordinary expens.
es Of the city government.
3. He has made less public improve.
ment and furnished less work for laborers.
4. He has paid less of the public debt.
5. He has kept Marshal and two Police.
men in Office who have prosecuted and rob.
bed poor people Of fees, driven farmers away
from town and done more to injure the
character and business of the place than oil
other causes combined.
Murdoch is responsible for these five items
land many more not yet enumerated and
they are enough to condemn him.

such feelings aud success is certain.
