Not Palatable Ev.dauna

A gentleman in Fon du Lac, whose wife
had left him and applied for divorce, was
determined to defeat her; So hiring q horse
and carriage, and inveiginx q friend alone
with hin, as witness, he made the round of
her acquaintances, cross-questioning them
IN a way that would have done honor to a
Philadelphia lawyer, in hopes of finding out
something against her character. He met
with no success until the last, when espying
gentleman who had known his wife many
years. ne drew rein and greeted him with
m nr apparent delight and friendship.
i" men the evidence seeker had announced
MS intentions, and explained wbv be had

husband, and then said:

behind their ears-the better to bear-and
opened their mouths; the better, suppose.

"Well, Mr.. T -, your wife was the big

The Radicals expect to carry all the
Southern States, in the elections of next
fall, by the aid of the negro votes, and even
Maryland is claimed by them, but it appears
to be on very frail grounds. At the last
election the Democrats polIed seventy thous
and votes, and the Radicals thirty-fve thous
and votes, and it is claimed that there are
negro votes enough in the State to over
come that difference. But those who lay
that ''fattering JUNCTION to their souls" over
look the flct that, owing to the one sided
aspect Of the last election In Mary land more
than thirty thousand white men did not vote
hen the next contest comes, and the negro
Is expected to hold the balance of power,
white men will toe the mark en- masse, and
Maryland will remain in the white mans
column. "De year of Jubilo" is not 80 near
in Maryland as the Radicals hope.

The much bsla,ed income tax is said to
be in much less danger of extinction than it
was a short time since. Country mem bers
of Congress freely declare their hostility to
its repeal, regarding its existence as favora
BILE to the poorer classes, inasmuch as it
takes money from the weslthy,-from those
who have an abundance. The theory is that
so much money must be raised any how, and
hence it follows that if all the millions Of
money tbs, are taken from the rich in the
way of income tax, are taken from the
masses by evenhanded taxation, the poorer
and middle classes will be much more bur
dened with taxation than at present, while
those who accumulate wealth rapidly and
enjoy large incomes year after year. will pay
less into the Treasury of the nation than
the do now. Therefore, the members who
consider themselves the representatives. of
the middle and poorer classes, set their faces
against the repeal of the income tax. The
logic is not without sense.

a RADICAL WHO DOESN'T WANT TC
60 TO CONGRESS-.

60 TO CONGRESS.
Paradoxical as this caption may seem, we
are forced to believe it, if any belief can be
based upon what one Radical editor writes
about another. Some days ago we took
occasion to complain at the want of graft
tude On the part of the editor of the Geneseo
Republic for the very decisive manner in
which he disposed of the congressional aspi.
ration Of the editor of the Rock Island
Union, and thereby leave his own chances
very good for succeeding the nouentty who
represents this district in Congress-, and
here is his reply:
10 set the ARGUS right in this matter,
and to do justice to all parties concerned
We would state that our article was not
penned from any such motives as are attrib
uted to US; but rather, as an enterprising
public journal, to be the FIRST to furnish the
people with intelligence OF what is transpir
ing around them. We were deeply moved
by the reported attempts of certain uneasy
Poiitlcians to compass the defeat of Mr.
Ha~ley Ian estimabie gentleman and able
representative, and deemed it our duty 10
put hIm and his friends on their guard.
Such were our intents and purposes.
We never heard that the gentleman allud
ed to IN the above article had ever cherished
an ambition congress ward, and we 90 nor
nov believe he has or does. That he viii
some dav represent a constituency on the
floor of Couyrsss we have no doubt, IT he |
lives and continues to employ US as his
political tutor, and to follow our instructions
and counsel.
Unkindest cut of all Is it possible that
Hobbs doesn't read the Union-doesn't
know of the prodigious efforts his pupil has
put forth in sundry and diverse advices to
Congress-long weary efforts to keep Con-
gress right upon the great questions of the
day? Every line coined from brain ever
burdened with lofty ideas of the duties of
Congress- man who feels that the gods
designed him for the stamp of genius and of
craftsmanship, but forgot to aft ,the.sfore-
said stamp.
There may be gains for all our losses,
there may be balms for all our pains. and
"if he li7es and continues to employ us
lHobbs) as his political tutor, and to follow
our instructions and counsel What then :
He will some day represent constituent
cy on she floor of Congress"
Now he feels tbs something sweet. Fol
lowing Hobbs with flying feet
Uneasy politicians" will please take no
tice that Hawley's friends are on their guard,
with helmet clasped and buekled shield.

Leaves tn Company with Gras'

From the Maysvilie. (KentuokD Bulletin.
March 3l.l
On Sunday last, the commercial ele-
ment was somewha. startled at the report,
that Mr.. John Rigg, well known mer-
chant and tobacco dealer of Mount Olivet,
had pulled up stakes and suddenly disap-
peared from the view of his family and a
large number of his anxious creditors. 1t
was said that he had been carefully arrang-
ing his affairs for several months with a
view to absconding, and that he had sue
ceeded in accumulatlng quite large sum
of money which he pocketed, and in COM
pany with an attractive grass widow.
struck out for parts unknown. lie LETT
home Friday evening, on horseback, and
went in the direction of Cynthiana. where
it is supposed he took the cars, but moth
ing is known of the route alter he left
home. On Monday morning, one of our
best merchants, who was interested in bis
affairs to the amount of several thousand
dollars. took passage on the first boat with
the hope of finding some trace OF him IN
Cincinnati He returned on Tuesday
without having heard any thing of the mis-
sing party.
Rigg was the largest trader and most
important man in Robertson county. he
had been engaged for a number OF years
i'll buying and shipping tobacco, and ap-
peared to have the confidence OF every
man in bis county. His credit in this
city was good enough to enable him to buy
large stocks Of goods, with which he paid
considerable portions of his tobacco ac-
counts at home. He was not very prompt
in making settlements, but at seasons
when he realized from sales Of tobacco,
he generally paid his most pressing bills.
Our best merchants were of opinion that
sooner or later he would fail IL business,
but no person anticipated that he would
run off with widow and leave his family
and creditors in the lurch. He was a
leading member of the Methodist Church,
and not regarded dishonest
We understand his liabilities are very
great, and at the time of his departure
there were about 5000 of matured bills
awaiting his attention. The property he
left behind consisting of good farm,
well-improved, and stock of goods, will
satisfy but a small portion Of his debts.
He was in this city on Thursday, and we
learo, at that time, paid one firm about
5000, leaving a balance OF about $1,000
unsettled. His Indebtedness here will
reach quite large amount; though his
bills are not very large they are many in
number.
