THE DEAD NAN-POsr M0RTEN EXAM.
NATION.
Disreputsbls Practice Of Davenport.

The post norton examination Of Conrad
Frederick Gehbaucr, the stranger who died
on the ferry dock yesterday, was made by
Or. Pluumss, under the direction of Coroner
Knox, ate O'Clock this forenoon. The
result showed that he came to his death b!
apoplexy of the lungs. 1t was further as
cert,ined that he had been sick for some
DAYS. and in the opinion of DIR. Plummer,
with proper care his lie might have heen
saved. In our inquiries concerning the case
we learn from prominent citizens OF Daven>
port that this same man was lying sick In
barn in Davenport oil night, and that one OF
the trustees (Mr. Behreus) was notified, and
that he Immediately took him in charge and
shipped him on the ferry boat to this city with
GU. first giving him any medical attention
that bis condition demanded, from . commu>
nifty protesting to be humane and christian.
and whereby his life might have been saved
We are sorry to believe any officer Of Dav
enport guilty of such an over Jealous act Of
duty, an act of barbarism that We
are sure none Of the people of that place
would for an instant countensuce. Yet
the information coming from such reliable
men as the editor of the Banner, Lewis
Martin and others, We cannot let it pass
unno,iced, and only hope Mr.. Behrens can
show the matter ir . different light. If it
be true, the citizens of Davenport owe it to
their good name, to severely rebuke the
officer who, to save the city few dollars,
will ship . stranger, and . man At deaths
door away to die on the streets, when only
to notify these in charge of the boat would
have insured for him such attentions as
would have saved his life, or a. least have
prevented him from DYING on the street, with
none to make bis last hours easy.

Eldridge aud MoNeely. The Judge does
not think it right that national revenues
should be applied to that purpose. but
that each State should educate its own
children, and if any shall refuse to do 80,
the National Government should have
the authority to compel it to do so, as q
necessary means to the preservation OF
Republican principles. McNeely, of IL

Education, opposed the bill on the
