THE ROCK Tg,AVD APPROPRIATIONS

The editor of the Davenport gazette is
now in Washington, and has written a letter
to his paper, which appears this morning,
and in which, after saying that the appro,
prlat,ons have passed the house, he says:
The bit has ycttg rDu the gauntlet Of the sen.
ate, where Senator Morrill, stands, tomahawk in
hand, ready 70 slash and hew it down, but there Is
every reason to hope, without success. Senators
Harlan aud Grimes, Of our state, aud Senators
TrumbulI and Yates, Of Illinois, viii certainly
do their best to secure the appropriation as
passed by the house.
It is worthy Of notice that Mr., Harding, the
member fer the Rock Island district, was absent
during the whole Of yesterdays contest a. for
two days before and that when the debate on
the hin opened only two Illinois members were

We think it is about time that something
should be done to curb the antics of the
gunboat roughs. Scarcely a day passes
without some exhibition of their rowd yism.
Tuesday night, at Hardin's eating house,
they kicked up row and disturbed the
whole neighborhood. Knives and pistols
we're freely exposed blows struck, and a
general muss ensued The authorities are
afraid to interfere with them. Of the three
e0nstables, there is not one that dares to
arrest any Of these pimps and if anything
is done with them the citizens will have to
attend to it themselves. They should be
waraed that their presence is not desirable,
and saIoou.keepers ought to be notified not

not suffice, the quiet, orderlpying portion Of
