bly, well known to our citizens that the
American Association for the Advance.
ment of Science will hold its annual meet
ing this year In Dubuque, abont the Goth
of August. The Society is composed Of
the first intellects of the land; men who
by their researches and writings have
conferred enduring renown upon Ameri'
can literature and science, and whose as
sembling together in any city is an event
of more than common interest and inn
portance. In the programme prepared
for them by the citizens of Dubuque are
two excursions; one up the river, and the
other to some point in Iowa on the Hi.
nois Central II. II. The scientific gentle
men of Dubuque prefer Independence as
the objective point of the latter excur-
sion, owing to the rich deposit of fossils
and other objects of scientific interest to
be found near our city. But it is proper
that formal invitation should De eX'
tended to the Association by our city au'
thoritics, or by u committee of our citi-
zens in some authoritative capacity
The object of this article is to merely call
the attention of the community to the
subject. We have conversed with some
of our leading citizens and all have express
sed their appreciation of the honor Of en-.
tertaining SO distinguished company OF
savans. We cannot doubt that our peo.
pie generally will entertain similar feel
ings, and all unite in hospitable invita-.
ton and welcome to the Association. II
il essential that whatever is done toward
that end should be done soon.

A SCANDAL, REPEATED.-The COnSerUG-
tice, with lack of dcccncy of which VIC
did not think its editor capable, reitcr-
ates it's foul ISLANDERS against Hon. Henry
Wilson regarding his alleged know moth
ing utteranccs, and adds to its former
mendacity by copying and endorsing an.
other batch of forgerics which it imputcs
to him. As an excuse for this dirty bust
ness, it intcrposes the pitiful plea that it
has mo evidence that Mr.. Wilson did
not use the language ascribed to him."
the legitimate inference from which is,
that an honest man maligned by knaves,
must prove a negative or stand convic-
ted of the charges they bring against
him. The interposition of such plea
indicates that the party making it is al
ready convicted Of dishonesty and un.
fairness. In regard to the scurrilous
utteranccs, now put in the mouth of Mr..
Wilson, the Conservative knows, If it
knows anything, that Democratic papers
of the baser sort have been in the habit
for years of crediting them to every polit-
ical opponent against whom they desired
to raise the ire of our adopted citizens.
This is not the first time they have been
used, nor Mr.. Wilson the only man to
whom they have been imputed by Demo-
cratic journals, nor probably will he be
the last.
Now that we know that the Co,sseruu-
the is not to be reached DEMONSTRATIONS
of honor or justice, we will present an
other which may be better suited to its
comprehension. We are authorized to
say that the sum of 800 is now deposit
ed in the First National Bank, subject to
the order of the editor of that paper
when lie shall have presented authentic
evidence that Mr.. Wilson euer, at any
tine or place, uttered the language cred
tied to him in the last two issues Of the
Conservative. Now bring your proofs,
or shut up.

have, for the past few weeks, been cack-
ling with great glec over anticipated aid
and comfort for the Dolly Warden, mixed
pickle combination, in Byron township.
The first meeting of the striped clements
was he'd at Winthrop last Saturday.
The call-wc copy verbatim-was TO
"thc citizens of Byron township, regard
less of former party ties, who are in favor
of universal amnesty, the cincinnati plat
form and the election Of Greeley and
Brown who were requested to meet
'for the purpose Of ellecting delegates to
the county convention to be held at indie
pcndence, July eth" sA Z *
The time came and three old hard shell,
antiwar Democrats responded, coming
up nobly to the rescue of Greeley and
Brown. Not man of Republican anti
cedents could be found to have anything
to do with it, and the triunvirate of fos
SLICED Democracy run the thing to the
end. We are told that the Ajax of Liberal
Republicanism in the township, the man
who in his own person, represents very
nearly all that there is of the element
there, stepped to the door during The
glance, and left with snort of disgust.
