SUNDAY LECTUREs.-Rev. DR.. Rhea, the
pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
of this city, has introduced in our midst q
new feature of ministerial work, which will
doubtless prove both popular and profisa-

Darts Hall on semi-secular, ethical topics,
of interest to people of all denominations.
The lecture of next Sunday is on the "Social
and religious privileges Of workingmen in
America" and on SUNDAY after next "Are

ROCK ISLAND COUNTY DEMOCRATIC.
Board Of Supervisors.

For nearly ten years the Republicans
have had things all their own way in this
county, and have carried through any meas
ure they undertook. They have been very
liberal with Court House rats, profes'
sional pap-.uckers and hereditary office
holders-so much so that the people have
concluded that it is about time to make
change. They want to know why they are
called upon TO pay a ten thousand dollar
jail tax. and just how much of the fees of
certain salsried officers goes to perpetu ate
the sway of the Republican party, and have
consequently voted for men who will look
after their interests. The result is a Demo
cratic Board of Supervisors No returns
have yet been received from Coe ana os"oe
Creek townships, but giving 'nem 20 ene
Republicans, there is still majority OF one
for the Democrats.
This is the result of work, and shows
there is a general change in the sentiment
of the people. 1t will not stop with this
victory, for by this majority, the affairs of
the county will be so managed and some of
the past action shown up, that the people
will want more changes in other offices.
The hand writing is on the wall, the
scepter has fallen from the few Court House
Barnacles, and new order of things is de-
manded. Stand from under, rats, economy
is after you, and the nice little perquisites
that have heretofore found their way into
your pockets will now go to relieve the bur
dens OF county taxation. But of these
things we shall have more to say in due
time

SAYS the Buffalo, New York,
Courier: at appears from recent
estimates, based upon apparently
reliable data, that the Southern
cotton crop of lS60-7O amounts
in value to three hundred and
twenty. five millions of dollars. OF
this immense sum, arising from
the cultivation Of a single plant,
three. Fourths go tO other coun-
tries in payment for importations,
and help to check the expectation

Europe. Immense numbers Of
merchants, owners Of steamboats,
and railroads, and the employees
on them, and a host of other peo'
pie obtain employment from the
cotton sent abroad; and from
that which is kept in our own
country, our manufacturing and
agricultural citizens derive addi-
tional profit and employment.
We all partake Of the benefits
arising from this great addition
to the national wealth. The re-
gion in which it is now, and will
probably be in an increased de-
gree hereafter drawn annually
from the soil, is that which the
republican policy basely holds I'M
der the tyranny of irresponsible
governments, whose chief aim is
to abstract money from the peck
cts ofthe people and enrich a few
carpet baggeIs by means of spe-
cial legislation Of the most corrupt
character. The latest political
conundrum is: How can a region
il which so valuable q crop of one
single article is raised be, as radi
cal demagogues represent, unsafe
for the residence Of a peaceful
population ?

baggers, backed and participated

A THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

1t is certainly one Of the great.
est curiosities in history that ex-
actly one thousand years ago, in
the year of our Lord $40, the peo-
pie of France and Germany fought
under their kings upon the same
soil, that of Lorraine, for very
nearly the same reasons, and with
the same result. This happened
as follows: The empire Of Charlie
magne and that of his son who
succeeded him, Ludwig l., called
the Plous, was divided by his
three sons, the grandsons Of Char.
lemagne, in S43, at the congress
of Verdun, between themselves in
such q manner that Lothaire re-
ceivcd, besides the title Of empe-
ror, Italy and what was then call.
cd Middle Franconia, a strip OF
land running from the North sea
to the Mediterranean, and there
joining Upper Italy, a broad strip
of land containing modern Hol-
land, Belgium, the Lorraine, the
Alsace, and all that part of South,
ern France lying between the
Rhone and Saone and the Alps on
the east. Ludwig received Eas-
tern Franconla, which was from
that time called Germania, OF Ger.
many, and from which he, as Ger.
many's first king, was called Lud.
wig the German.
Carl, who was called the bald,
from his bald head, received
Western FrancOnia, from that
time called Franconia, or France.
Lothaire died in S55, and again
subdivided his empire amongst
his three sons. To the oldest,
Ludwig, he gave Italy and the
crown and title Of emperor; to the
second, Lothaire, the northern
part of his dominion, comprising
a part of modern Holland, Bel
GUM, and the province called Vi
TO this day Lorraine or Lotharin
gen, the Alsace, and all the lane
extending down to the Saone. II
the youngest, Carl, he gave all tn,
land south of the Saone to tn.
