The Population of the Southern States.

1t has been the fashion to- assume that the
Southern States had sustained such large
losses of population during the war that
little or no increase was to be expected by
the present census. The following figures
disproye this assertion and exhibit very
extraordinary increase under all the Cir
cumstapces;

Indian Summer.

Just after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in the snow,
There comes festive season,
When nature is aglow-
Agiow with . mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness of spring
Aglow with O beauty more tender
Than aught which summer could orIng'
Some spirit akin 10 the rainbow
Then barrows the magical dyes,
And mantles the ar-spreadlng Iahdsosps
In hues that bew!lder the eyes.
The sua from his cloud -shadowed chamber
Smiles soft vision so gay,
And dreams that his favorite children,
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's n luminous mist on the mountains,
A light, azure haze in the air,
As If angels, while heayenward soaring,
Had left their brigh: robes floating there
The breeze Is so soft, so caressing.
1t seems a mute token of love,
And floats to the heart like blessing
From some happy spirits above.
These days, serene and so charming,
Awaken dreamy delight
srsmuious, fearful enjoyment
Like soft strains of music at night
We know they are fading and feeting,
That quickly, too quickly, they'll end,
And we watch them with yearning affection,
AS at parting, we watch d ear friend.
0 beautiful Indian summer!
Thou favorite child Of the year,
Thou darling whom nature enriches,
With gifts and sdornments so dear
How fain would WOO thee to Enger
On mountains and meade VS. awhile,
For our hearts, like the sweet haunts of ma
ture,
Rejoice and grow young in by smile.
Not alone the sad fields Of autumn
Dost thou lost brightness restore,
But thou bringest a world weary spirit
sveet dreams of its childhood once more /;
The loveliness fills us with memories
fall that was b, b,ightest and best
Thy pure and serenity offer
A foretsste of heavenly rest.

HAWLEY WILLING TO BETRAY THE
INTERESTS OF ROCK ISLAND.
Tks Charge made direct.

The Union continues to dodge and paddle
around the damaging fact that Hawley was
willing to betray the interests of the people
OF this city, Moline, Camden, and in fact
the whole county, by helping kill the free
carriage bridge over the Mississippi river.
The facts ebout the matter are simply as
follows:
Mr.. John B. Hswley did, g. the solicita.
tion of the ferry company, and to help his
political friends, Spencer, Robinson & Co.,
write a letter to A. G. Harding, then our
congressman, urging him to kill the
bridge appropriation on the ground that
the bridge would inj lure the ferry fran chise
of Robinson i Co., and that it was their duty
10 protect an d aid the interests of their poll.
tica friends that Robinson & Co, could
do good deal for the party and the party
must protect them, etc.. etc. Mr.. Hawley,
before mailing that letter, showed it to
several of the political friends of his party.
He then mailed it, and when he got Hard
ings reply ne showed that also. Mr. Hard
- Is W. PASPSA Sho' AAc
plainly told Hswley that he would be glad
to help MS friend Robinson, and his party
friends, but that if he killed the bridge
appropriation, as he could do, the effect
would be to defeat all appropriations for the
Arsenal, and that would ruin any man or
any party. He, therefore, regretsing that
he could not accede to Hawiey, Robinson &
Co.'S request, must decline to interfere.
These are the facts, plainly stated-and
when the leading republicans We named on
Saturday will deny, by affidavit, that they
saw Hawley's letter and Hsrding's answer,
We shall be ready to pay the reward offered
or five times the amount named, to any
charitable object, to be named by the Young
Mems Christian Association. Can you get
the affidavit, NJ. Union9 you cant get
it, IS it not pretty good evidence that Haw-
leg was willing to betrsy the interests of our
people to help Robinson & Co?
Ii he woald betray the interests of all the
people of this county for his party friends,
Spencer, Robinson & Co., is il not equally
certain that he has betrayed and will again
betr.y il elected, the interests of the West
for his party friends East, the Protection

Letter from Hon. P. L. Cable, candidate lor
Congress, 4th District.

| LONpoNt SSfs' CsAf WV
J. S. DRAKE. ESQ,
Dear Sir:-Your letter advising me
of the action of the late congressional con-
come to hand. Having unequivocally de
cined TO permit the use OF my name before
the convention, and having advised my
friends that should be abroad with my
fsmily at least for year, | was greatly
surprised at my nomination, and still more
! surprised al the uusnimity with which it
was made.
am also in receipt Of letters from va
rious other gentlemen i'll the district, urging
me TO accept the nomination, and, using the
very fact that l was not an aspirsnt for the
office, as a strong reason for thus insisting,
at least on PERMISSION, to use my name.
Recognizing the truth Of the proposition
that mo man should seek such an Office or
refuse it when thrust upon him." and
putting the whole responsthI ~ cfthe result
on nv friends and the democracy of the
district, acc,pt the nomination, and if
elected, | will return and devote my best
energies to the service of the people of the
district and the country at large.
My own political opinions are well settled.
and | presume, generally understood, but |
have no sympathy with the bitterness of
mere party strife and the prevalent disposi-
ton to accord no virtue or honesty of pur-
pose to political opponents, and should the
people of the district see fit to honor me
with seat in congress, | should not use
them as a partisan, but attempt to do what
in my judgment should be right and most
conducive to the interests of the whole
people.
Having no agency in bringing about m y
| nomination, and having no desire to FIJI the
office, except a wish to do my duty as q
citizen, l shall continue my proposed
| Journey to the Continent and not return
home to engage in the discussion of the
p political issues involved or at tempt in any
way to influence the verdict of the people at
the polls.
In case of my election, l should rejoice
N uch more over the success of the conser-
vatives of the district than over the honor
conferred upon me, and, if defeated, l shall
at least have the satisfaction of feeling that
| did my duty in permitting the use of my
name under the peculiar circumstances.
Thanking my friends for the honor in.
tended to be conferred, ard assuring them
that a more suitable, willing and available
candidate could have been selected,
l am truly yours,
| P L. CABLE,
