The Coming Man.

We do not pretend to say who the COM
ing man for 1876 is, but it is a singular
fact that a good many eyes are looking to
the West for him, and it is a still more
singular fact that some of these eyes are
in the heads of Republicans. The follow
ing from paper that is sometimes cred
tied with being an adherent of Senator
Morton-the st. Louis Democrat.
THE election of Gov. Booth to the SEN
ate Of the United States by the California
legislature is an event which will mark an
era In our national politics. The so-called
leading statesmen Of the country will find
Booth to be very useful. albeit a very
uncomfortable, person in the senate. He
cannot be counted on as supporter of any
scheme OF jobbery or PARTISAN legislation.
lie Is a successful merchant, sagacious
stateman, and an honest man. He comes
as near knowing Just what the agricultur
ists ana business men of the country want
10 the way OF Legislation as any man in the
land. 1t the old senator's undertake To
snub or snow him under, thev will find
something Of the Broderick in his stvje
and they may succeed in making him the
champion of the peoples rights, and nos
slbly the peoples can-but wait till '76 /"
This from Republican organ, in com.
mendation Of an insurgent who recently
smashed the Republican party in Califor-
MIA, is worthy of some attention.

The Q'Rrien Homicide.

The terrible tragedy, an account of
which was givenin yesterdays ARGUS, oc-
curre in the upper story of two story
housein the western part of Davenport, on
Seconl street, near Davie, at o'clock
Christmas afternoon. The victim, Jere-
miah 3roderick, was So years of age, and
Cornelius D. O'Brien, ''Conny, "as.heis call
ed, VS. 81. Both were born in ireland.
Conn had lived in Davenport for Is years.
Mike D Brien, brother of COMFY, lives in
the lever part of the same house, and Ter
ence, another brother, lives near. They
heare the scuffie above and went up to get
Conn away They found him down with
Jerry standing over him. They pushed
Jerry aside and were taking Conny out OF
the rom when Jerry followed him with
stiS. They had got down one stair with
him, when Jerry kicked him twice and
threaened to strike him. Then Conny
firedlnd killed him This is the jist Of
theirtestimony at the inquest. The coro-
ner' siury rendered a verdict to the effect
that jeremiah Broderick came to his death
by pistol shot at the hands of Cornelius
b. OBrien, and that there was not sufhc
lent ause for the act.
OBrien seems to be in agony over the
murter. He accuses himself of the deed
wrinls his hands, weeps, and continually
declres that he ought to be hung.

w ell, Why Not

The New York SIN is satisfied that the
money which Tweed defrauded the city of
New York of was used to bride Republi-
can members of the legislature.to procure
such legislation as he wanted in relation to
city affairs, and says
In view of the appalling character and
extent of our municipal robberies, even
kind-hearted citizens rejoice to see an old
man covering and shivering in prison at
Blackwell's Island, and young man stoop-
ing with shame over his felon meal at Au-
burn. But should not those legislators
who participated in their crimes and shared
with them in the spoils of the city they
sacked be sent where they must put on a
prison suit like Tweed's, and shutdown to
shank soup with Ingersoll ? Impartial JUS
tice asks, Why not? Why should not those
guilty accomplices, some of whom fill high
places and riot on stolen money, be scathed
by the lightnings of the storm which drove
Connolly, Fields and Woodward to seek
safety in flight, and has oyertaken and de-
stroyed Tweed, ,Ingersoll, and Genet?

The New California Senators.

Judge Hager, of San Francisco, has f.
nally been elected to the short term in the
United States Senate from California. He
takes Mr.. Casserly's unexpired term,
which runs till March 4, 1875. 1t is not
till then that Mr.. Booth enters upon the
full term to which he was recently elected.
Judge Hager, who has been Democratin
the past, is now claimed as an Anti-Mo-
nopoly man. He is Jerseyman by birth,
and is described as a man of fair ability
and good culture. He now occupies the
place of one of the three District Judges
of the State Courts, and formerly served
several terms in the State Senate. During
his last term Hager voted to sustain
Haight's veto of the Southern Pacific bill,
and is thoroughly opposed to the subsidy
business, according to his present status,
though it is limited that his record has not
always been so clear on this subject. AS
converts are apt to be among the most
jealous, it is only fair to expect that Judge
Hager will prepare the way for Governor
Booths good work.
Among the speeches made in favor OF
Gov. Booth, just before he was elected for
the long term we cannot refrain from quot
ing an extract from Mr. Swift, in nominal
ing him. He said
when Democracy meant antagonism to
Capitalization of power, when it meant
what its name signifies, then Gov Booth
was Democrat. When Republicanism
meant patriotism and devotion to the Uni
on, when it meant resistance to treason
and secession, when it meant enlightened
civilization and progress, based upon free
dom to all men, then Gov. Booth was a
Republican And now that Democracy
and Republicanism have passed into the
hands of the peoples enemies and have
come to mean subserviency to organized
corruption when they mean debauchery
in government and bribery in official sta
ton; when they stand for monstrous
scheme national in proportion, ramifying
and fostering from ocean to ocean, the in
famous purpose of which is to bind the
people of this country hand and foot and
deliver them up to the Incorporated mo-
nopolists for bond slaves, to fetch and car
ry at the command of these lords of the
rail and locomotive-then Gov Booth is
| no longer either Democrat or Republi-
can"

A Jolly Christmas Party.

Probably the jolliest Christmas party in
this county was at the residence of Mr..
James j Johnston, the celebrated Milan mil
Ter. Thirty-six persons sat down to a
sumptuous old fashioned Christmas dinner,
the happiest lot of kinsfolk imaginable.
Besides these SO, there was quite num-
Der of babies, nurses, and help, so that it
was easy to imagine that the house was
pretty full. Besides the Johnstons, there
were the SCOTS. from Davenport, Tom
Johnston married Mr.. SCOTS daughter ;
the Frysingers,-Ben married one OF Mr..
Johnston's daughters, MIR. d. L. Cunkle,
whose wife was Mr.. Johnston is sister and
many others whose names we have not
heard The house was surrounded with
bugeies the stables crowded with horses,
and everybody busy. Presents ?-there
seemed TO be no end of them. Everybody
had something and we suppose no peo-
pie were better pleased than Tom Johns
ton AMI his excellent wife who were the
recipients of clear deed Of city lot or
the coraer near Mr. Johnstons residence
and where they will probably build house
next sumner. This present was com
plete surprise. But the greatest excitement
was on christmas eve-about the Christina
, trees, n the parlor. That large room haC
been securely locked for weeks, and thu
mysterious whisperings among the olde
people had excited the curiosity of thu
childrn to the highest pitch, so that, whel
the tres were lighted up and the door
, openet the little ones were in blaze o
glory, md there were no happier one
than be two little boys two year olds)wh'
got til, red-legged boots. Mr.. Johnston
was II his element, and his queer joke
and hippy face added greatly to the jollit.
of theoccasion. 1t was really merr.
Christmas for all. We wish them (an'
everybody else) many more such.

The investigation of the charges against
Attorney General Williams promises to
bring to light practices in nearly if not
quite all the Executive Departments which
are certainly not consistent with strict
ecobmy, if indeed they are with honest
administration. The payment of $1,000
for acarriage for the Attorney General s
fanny is but an ordinary affair. In the
Treasury Department some Of the expen-
ditues are of the most extravagant char
acte'. Our Washington correspondence
instances $4,000 for temporary clerks,
$50p0O for stationery, $4,000 for furni-
ture and carpets, $4,000 for coal, wood.
gas, tumblers, hatchets, pitchers. towels,
&c. $4,000 for newspapers, repair of wa
gons, cure of horses, brooms, brushes,
mathes, soaps. &c. and it is stated that
theaames of private servants are borne on
