lot .--Our article last week under this
head proves all right. The Democrat has not
denied single point therein. 1t only blus-
ters and bullies, rs follows
awe wonld like very much 10 have AM
fherst give us the name of even one individu-
sal so situated. He has made the charge OF
.forgery in putting names on the Greeley list,
sand we ask of him the proof. Give us the
"proof, poor boy, or else ever after hold your
peace
Those who got up the Creole y and Brown
list put down the name of Louis Alt withou
bis consent, who is an alien and not voter;
years and is but 10 years Of age; Burton Sum :
ner, who thought from its being presen ted by
Gen Calls that it was Grant list, and say
he signed it as such, but who lives in Potosi ;
Philip Kelts, who did not give them leave
to use his name and Immediately on hearing
OF t,ordered il taken of; and others that are
coming TO light daily, but of which we are
not certain. We know of several names on
both lists, but their vote will show that they
decided for Grant.
The Democrat says :--"We could print
list of at least 81 Republica ms who will vote
for Greeley, but aredeterred from. doing solbe-
cause they would be harassed by office-holders
and whippers-in until they adopted either the
blue cape or signed the Grant Club list"
What compliment TO the aforesaid 81
Have they no mind of their own, that they
must be kept from contact with Grant men ?
That's right, Mr.. Democrat; keep them in the
shade lest they suddenly wilt down when the
Iight strikes them.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This Is an inquiry which every one should
have trulhfully answered before he starts on

splendid reputation in the last two years as
the leading Passenger Route TO the west
Starting at Burlington it runs direct through
Southern Iowa 10 Nebraska and kansas, with
close connections TO California and the Terri
tories and passengers starting from Lancas-

than TO take the C.. b. & Q. and Burlington

Fire at Platteville.

On Monday morning last about
two o'clock the people of Platteville
were aroused from their slum bers by
the terrible cry of Fire I" The
dwelling lately occupied by John
Richard, ST., and owned by Mr.. VIM.
Cox, was discovered TO be on fire and
before any efforts to extinguish it
could be made the flames had made
so much headwsy as to render the
destruction of the building inevitable.
This being the case the attention of
those who gathered was turned to the
protection Of the surrounding build
ings, and by great effort these were
saved. Mrs. Ri:chey's building, in
close proximity, was in imminent
danger, but was saved by persistent
exertion. Mr.. Cox's building, which
was vacant at the time, was probab-
ly worth about $1,000, and he had
but few days before effected an in
surauce on it for 5000. The fire was
undoubtedly the work of an incendi-
ary.- Witness.
AS is usual in this and other villag-
es, the destruction CT building by
fire excitos strong feeling of our
insecurity, and determination to or
ganizo an efficient Fire Department
without moments loss of time.
But these good resolutions, like
many others we make, are soon crowd
ed out of mind by other matters, and
we go on, happy in our careless secu-
rity, till the next fire breaks out and
finds us unprepared. 1t 10 the old
story over again, of the roof that
didn't need mending in dry weather,
and when wet weather made it de-
sirable, it was too rainy to begin such
q task.
The people of Platteville are ear
nestly talking Of new fire preTent~
ives, and we are surprised that they
have been so long neglected. We
hope Bro. Rindlaub will reply, that
it is the strangest thing in the world,
that Lancaster has slumbered along
for so many years, without owning
an engine, hose-cart. fire>cistern,
aqueduct, hydrant, hook, ladder, wa.
ter paiI,-or anything but q few
"Babeoeks."

Grant and Wilson Club Gathering.

Pursuant to a call, the Grant and Wilson
club met at an early hour on Saturday evenin &
last. The usual parade about the streets was
INDUCED by those of the members equipped
with uniforms and torch-lights; the process
ION being accompanied by the stirring music
Of fife ana drum. A noticeable feature of this
display was the fact of its being much more
demonstrative and the procession much larger
than characterized the & altering of the previ-
ious week; but this is easily explained as the
enrolment of names has steadily increased the
list Of the Clubs members since that time al
hough but a moiety of those connected with
he organization are enabled TO parade from a
scarcity of uniforms sc. With the conclusion
of the street exhibition large assemb ge
gathered about the Court House steps where
Hon. w. p. Dewey dscoursed with convi nc
ing effect. upon the issues of political moment,
arguing forciby on the Republican protection
of American citizens at the South from the
Ku Klux; aud giving his views on the Tariff
question, and closing with an able defence of
the acts Of the Administration. We regret
that time and space forbid even a synopsis
of this speech, or of the proceedings in gener-
al which were enthusiastic and expressive of
deep political feeling in favor of the success
of the Administration.

The Excitement at Cassville-River
Roughs brought to their senses.
The steamer Minnesota lande,

The steamer Minnesota landed at
Cassvilie July 26th aud the Captain
went in search of a justice to put
down three crews of mutinons RATS
men on board. Esq. Sneclode under
took to arrest the worst one of the
rioters who made q determined re-
sisLance with q large and wicked
looking knife. Then he put war
rant in the hands of Abe Key, who
seeing that the officers and men of
the boat were inundated, and could
NOT manage their riotous passengers
who had been on drunken spree
since leaving st. Louis, found him
self ordered TO arrest and take ashore
the leaders. He chose Louis Gender
and John Moore TO help, took pistols
aud arrested one VIM. Robertson,
though amid q storm of oaths and
threats; he pulled his man along to-
ward the plank, when he made a
vigorous resistance and attacked
Key. The case became so desper-
ate, -the closing ring OF rattsmen
being about to help his prisoner,
that &c put the muzzle of his pistol
to his ear and tried to fire, but il
failed to 90, being at haIfcock. Not
an instant was to be wasted and he
knocked Robertson down by strik-
ing him on the head with the pistol,
repeating tho blow dozen times.
Az the instant Key tried to shoot
him, the gang rushed forward to
kill Key or rescue Robertson, but
Gender with great quickness and
bravery presented his cooked pistol,
ordered them to stand back, and
swore he would kill the first man
that advanced. This timely service
probably prevented considerable
bloodshed, and Mr.. Key considers
that to it he owes his life. Key then
ierked his fallen man ashore, had the
Captain point out other rioters whom
he took without trouble, and taught
the river men that however they
may run over the authorities Of 9TH
err cities, they must hereafter SUD-
nit to those Of Cassville. Only one
of men, Robertson. was held,
who was lodged 10 our Jail on Sat-
urday, by his conqueror. We have
not the particulars of the fight on
the boat between the raftsmen and
boat hands, which caused the
Captain and his 80 or 10 men to land
and claim the protection of the law.
Robertson was somewhat cut up
on the head, the pistol was bent and
spoiled, and Keys fore.fnger was
badly mashed by sometimes being
between the weapon and the skull
We are indebted to him for the par
ticulars. While at the Hotel here he
was pointed out as prisoner under
arrest for trying to kill man at
Cassville, which mistake we correct.
