IL, and the City authorities want to see if
Pieasants can exhibit the same legal ver-
satility.
And it is amusing, TOO, to see the UHioR
and the Republican party, condemn Day
export and accept Hull, when they both
stand exactly on the same ground. Tosee
a party organ and the whole Republican
party 60 through the motions in the case
is as amusing as any circus show ever seen
in Rock Island. E
Judge Peasants is expected to explain
how this thing can be done, at the next
term of court qr-r,~
As 10 the taxes Of 1872 Mr.. Davenport
has never made any objections to paying
them, He paid $500 not long since,
and is continuing to pay right along faster
than the average Of our citizens OF the
whole city tax, fifty-fve thousand dollars
Of the sixty-fve thousand are yet unpaid
MIR. Davenport is not more dilatory than
others. Probably all delay somewhat IN
consequence Of the extension OF time py
the Legislature.
MIR. Davenport pays very heavy taxes in
this c;tv--rrorc in proportion to the vaine
/ of his property than many others, perhaps
any other man, for the reason that asses
sors always defer little 70 the clamor of
demagogues and thus get his property
in for a larger proportion than adjoin-
ing property Of the same value Take one
instance In 1877 they assessed Outlet %,
in section So, Up. 1S-2 W. (R. l. tp) at
$500 an acre. This property lies in back
Of George Mixers residence. A few
months afterwards the city wanted to open
Arsenal street through the ground and
the commissioners assessed it, then, at
$4OO an acre, and also assessed him bene-
fits at the rate Of $500 au acre-so that he
was to get for his land only one fourth
the sum he was required to pay taxes
upon That's about the way they use
him. The report is on file in the city
clerk IS ofice-go and look at it if you want
to see it This is only one case in which
injustice has been done to Mr. Davenport,
When they want him to pay taxes on his
Cow pasture ii is worth $500 an acre, --
aud when they condemn it and take it for
public use it is only worth 500 an acre
Are the people who decry and abuse Bal
ley Davenport sure that they have right
TO cast the first stone?

up the names Of the owners Of this prop
erty, assessed as unknown" Quite a
number, on the day of sale, appeared to
pay their taxes, but too late, and the only
resort left for them was 70 bid off their
own property. These names we omit
Others probably neglected to pay because
they had not the money to pay with.
Among these may be named Mr.. Chopper,
for the taxes on his house. lie says he
didn't pay because he hadn't the money,
but he intends to pay. This is not the
case with Hull, or Woodin. They had
the money and Hull employed Sweeney x
jackson to fight the city and get out Of
paying. He not only is fighting the city
on the taxes Of 1871, and A. Hull refuses
to pay the present tax and declares
that he won't pay it because, he says it is
illegal.
Among those who have not paid their
city taxes for 1870 we notice the names of

while she was filling the pitcher, and when
she tdrhed her head dropped the daustic

such rascslly racket that the folks broke
into the room to see what was the matter
and they was with their hands aud faces as
black as the inside Of a stovepipe. I'd give
half my interest in tother world just to
have been at some safe place where could
have seen the row. AS soon as they found
that they were the same people that married
the night before, they called for warm wa

it to the door to see what was the matter
There was little piece OF caustic that hat
