WALTHAM WATCHEs.-The superior value
of American watches above all others is too
well understood, in this country ut least, to
need further illustration. Foreign watches
being conceded on all hands to have been
fairly beaten, not only in the market but in
the pocket, the question now is, which of
the American.msde wetches is best and re.
ally cheapest?
The Walthsm manufacture has deserved.
ly made its way to an immense business, in
the face of violent and persistent opposition.
Through period of fifteen years it has
steadily and regularly advanced-the last
years sale having been considerably larger
than those of any preceding year. The Sc.
cret Of this ia that the watches have stood
the test of enduring and general trial; they
are found to be- good in the long run as well
as the short, and to be generally, as well as
exceptionally good. No other establish
meDt in the world ever sold in the fifteenth,
or any year of its existence, seventy.ive
thousand watches, as this has done during
the year just closed. The truth is, the
Waitham Company began By resolving to
make 6rstclsss article, and they have con-
tinaed to do so, and have spared no pains

DoDdEs lT.-The city printer evades our
charge that Murdoch relentlessiy used his
casting vote to turn every democrat out OF
Office, by saying that he retained Policemen
Mtsch and Woods That is no answer
Policemen are not balloted for by the city
council. MurdOck's administration could
not get along without Policemen Mitsch and
Woods, and actually begged them TO retain
their places and made solemn promise
that, if they would do so, they should be re.
tanned for the year.
Murdock, Shaw and Spencer secured their
election by getting democratic votes with
the understanding that they would rise su'
perior to party and not use their places to
prosecute democrats. They failed TO realize
the expectations of the democrats who voted
for them, and used their positions to drive
every democrat from office. At the annual
election of city officers by the council, Shaw
and Spencer bowed down to the party eau
Gus and voted against every single democrat,
making the vote a tie on each, and then
Murdoch used the power of his casting vote
to turn every democrat out of Office. That
is a plain and well known fact, and should
open the eyes of every democrat in Rock
Island to the hypocritical professions of rad
zeal politicians.

TAXES -TAxEs.-On Tuesday, j. NJ
BeArdsley, the county clerk, came 10 our
office to request that, in publishing the an
nusl abstract of taxes for the county, we
would do what the Union has not done, add
the real and personal property totals to the
totals of the railroad property ana publish
the Grand total. We told him we had always
done so, and then turned to our scrap book
20 show him the tables as cut from our files
and pasted in the book. BY mistake We
turned to the tables of 1866 supPosing them
10 be- the tables Of 1867, and, noticing that
the aggregate was less than the tables Of
1868 we called his attention to the fact, and
he explained it by saying that the increase
was on the school taxes, for erecting new
school houses, both Of us supposing that
we were looking at the tables Of 1867. From
this aggregate we made a comparison, in
the DAILY ARGUS Of last evening, with the !
taxes of 1868, showing the increase and
we supposed it correct until this mornings /
Union calls our attention to it. The very |
polite and geudemanly city printer saws our |
statement was IAN utter disregard OF truth |
a iaIsehood, designed for electioueerng

Lion" SCorT County TRIEs To CIR RID
OF PAYING SOLDIERS BoUNrY.-We find the
following in the Davenport Democrat, Of
the 3D.
"The case of Keough vs. Scott county was
yesterday decided by a jury, in favor of the
plaintiff. In $500 Scott county got badly
scared at the prospects of draft, and, by
resolution, agreed to pay $3.50 apiece for
men to 20 to war. Some ninety.six men
went-some of whom never returned. After.
ward the county found out that it was not
necessary for her to have the men, in order
to be cleared from the draft. So in all her
noble loyalty she refused to pay the men
their bounty. Suit was brought, and the
county ordered to pay. An appeal was taken,
and the decision Of the Lower Court revers.
ed, and the case returned for new trial.
The verdict is as announced above, and
the county now finds herself obliged to pay
100000, after being to considerable expense
in fighting the payment Of an honest aud a
sacred debt
