UNDER Radical rule the far .ners are com
planning at the low prices of produce and
the heavy taxes The untaxed bondholders
come in for a good share OF the abuse, and
they deserve it Congress talks about the
negro and his rights, never troubling itself
about the adjustment of the finances of the
country. A tariff winch prevents foreign
goods from coming into this country, and
cur surplus products from going out, is
what makes country produce so low. Free
trade will give Us foreign market for all
our surplus grain. Are the Radicals in favor
of free-trade? These questions are of i'm
portance to the people Of this county who
are determined to vote with the party who
place in nomination q man of known ability
and who will answer the questions
satisfactorily. AS this is the universal
sentiment of majority of the voters of this
congressional district, 1t makes Hawley's
nomination extremely doubtful. There is
also an effort on foot to nominate, in his
stead, the editor of the Union who, it is
thought, can accommodate himself to any
question that may be asked as well as catch
many of the copperhead votes on account
of his secession record in Maryland Haw-
ley, on account of his being the tag end of
the extreme radical wing Of the house, will
probably have to content himself with one
term in the house. The man is named
When the captain ~ made his advent in
Rock Island, it was as if the ancient oracle
OF Delphi had been transferred to bis classic
senctum. "The midsummer sun has already
set the political cauldron to simmering.'
The witches begin to whisper mysteriously
and anxious aspirAnts are busy lingering the
public button hole but it is useless. The
oracle has already named the man. The cue
is given, and oil that is left is to go throu gh
the forms of convention.
Behind the scenes sit mighty we,
Nor we known, will We he
The world and we exchanging thus,
While find chat for them, they work for US
Thus has Hawley been made to make a
record that will be his defeat

maiden who has passed her teens. Now We

DoINGs ON THE ISLAND AND AT THE RAIL
ROAD BRIpsE.-We learn from General
Rodman that the ebutment at the Moline
bridge is completed also the dyke at the
head of the Island, which will form the
approach to the bridge. The work on the
shops is still going on with full force of
men. Shop No. is nearly slated, and only
delayed in completion for want of slate.
Shop No. 2 has the walls up and is nearly
ready for the roof.
In accordance with the $45, 900 appropris.
ton Of congress, the General has com
menced the erection of permanent quarters
for the officers, near the present headqusr-
tiers. The buildings will be of stone, with
brick lining, and the interior walls OF brick.
These buildings will form an attractive fes.
ture OF the grand system of Improvements
which have been inaugurated and are being
carried out by Gen. Rodman.
At the foot of the Island large force OF
men are engaged widening the roadway from
the Arsenal bridge to the Island. This way
when completed will be fifty feet wide rip.
raped on both sides and ornsmented with
appropriate ratings and willow hedge on the
| outside Of the foot walk. Thus making Ii
safer in crossing to the Island, giving plenty
/ of room for teams TO pass each other, and
besides Will make that part of the Island
drive as pleasant as any other. The care
and attention given to all these various
improvements by Gen. Rodmsn is to al
a source Of pride.
At the railroad bridge construction tht
work IS going on with all possible dispatch
under the supervision of the efficient con
tractors, Messrs. Harvey d Liversey. Ths
Iowa abutment has been completed for sons
/ time, and the Island sbutment is now also
com plesed both being models of strength
and Durability. a full force o.
masons are laying the rock of the
draw pier next 10 the Island, while another
force of men are engaged in building the
Golfer dam for the pier next to the Iowa
shore. The contractors are taking advan
pleasant weather, and hurrying the work as
/ fast as possible. No serious drawback ID
anticipated, and in the course of few
months the piers will be ready for the SD
perstructure. For this, the bids have beer
received at the engineers office 10 this city
and the award will probably be made in {
few days.

Mine is a lithosraphic printer, and hers pic
