Another Word to Farmers.

At the risk of disturbing the serene
and peaceful mind of farmer key, Of
the Bug, we would again urge upon
the Farmers the necessity of an or
ganization, outside of all political
parties, and the nomination of al en-
tire State ticket, from Governor to
the lowest office. 1t is your only
salvation-the only means by which
you can overcome the corruption and
monopolies that exist all over the
country, and that are sapping the
substance of your labor. Pay no at.
tention to party or party lines-heed
not the advice of political hacks and
Ring organs, that you can correct
these evils in your old organization
it is a lie, and only told you in order
to gain your assistance to continue
political scoundrels and robbers in
power and public positions. Call a
Convention,-nominate q good tick
et-men of your own class, and then
support them. If Democrats and Re-
publicans want to join you, all right
but be your own leaders. The pres
ent party in power is led by bad men
who have not the good of their
try at heart, and the masses should
repudiate it, and let all such organs
as the Eaton Register, that indorses
the Presidents salary steal, yell
"whoa" until they are black in the
face.
Farmersl
Laboring men!
You can succeed! The people
have taken the bits i'll their teeth-the
party lines are broken and the whip
has lost its power. Your selection
and election of a Governor of the
State of Ohio, would mark the dawn
of a better day in our political affairs.
and hasten the coming of laws in the
interest of your welfare. We do not
claim to be a farmer, but we do know
that you cannot get your rights and
the protection you are asking, unless
you cart loose from the old political
parties, and strike out for yourselves.
The organ that advises you differ
emily is n political trickstcr, a "wolf
i'll Sleeps clothing" and should be
treated as snch. Therefore, We say
again: Farmers, call your Conven-
ton and nominate a tickctTof your
own class, and cease to be ..llcwers of
wood and drawers of WATER" for po-
litical thieves and robbers.

abolish the system, resulting in 2, 735 votes

The Jackson County Robbery.

How the safe was opened is thus told by
the Gazette of the 2lst
Large maps had been taken from the
walls and used as window curtains The
outer and inner doors Of the safe were wide
open. but nothing was inside save a few
books Some papers were scattered over
the floor The cash box was empty! There
was an appearance of general demoraliza-
ton In the room On the counter was
mysterious card bearing the name of a
Chicago grocery house ON one side, and on
the diverse some figures. Near the card
was bross plate showing the name OF the
the safe maker, which had been unscr cwed
from one OF the doors. The County Treas
urer, Mr.. James 4. Bryan, was sent for
He Obeyed the summons quickly, and soon
was IN an agony Of nervousness aud auxie-
ty. lie looked at the empty safe, exam
ined the card, and said the latter had the
combination figures on it. Then the back
side of the removed door plate bore the
same figures, which had been placed there
that the secret which unlocked the safe
might not be lost through lack of memory
or other circumstance. Then the manner
of the robbery was explained Somehow
or other the robbers had gained knowledge
OF these figures of their inscription on
the door plate and had used their kn0wl-
edge to excellent purpose to themselves
They had no trouble at all. All they had
to do was to unlock the front door of the
Court House, serve the door of the Treas
urey the same, remove the plate on the
safe door, and the open sesame to the cOun-
ty funds was III their possession.
And the same paper this morning, the
22d, says
Up to five clock yesterday afternoon,
the time Of the departure of the d. & St
7. train from Maquoketa, no arrest Of par
ties suspected Of robbing the safe of the
jackson County Treasurer had been made
The thing most dwelt upon was the use of
the lock combination by the robbers, who
were as impudent as they were audacious,
and left piece Of paper on the floor before
the safe, bearing the words $4,000
gone to hell!' How did the robbers gain
knowledgd Of the combination figures d?
! Who told them? The Treasurer knew the
combination as did his deputy-but how on
earth did other parties get hold of the Sc
cret? How did any one come to suspect
they were written on the underside of the
safe door plate2 These are questions
that need explanation before officials can
know where to turn in looking for the rob
bers. And neither the Treasurer nor any
other person in Andrew, seems able to
give satisfactory answer Many persons
boldly declare their belief that their was
no such amount as $4,000 in the safe
while others think there was.

still continues.
Navigation is pretty much closed-there

running.

of it.
C. NJ. Osborn and Morris Rosenield, who
have been to Chicago to see about the in
junction to be applied for to restrain the
county clerk from extending the corpora

case is to be tried there to-day, but there
seems TO be some doubt about the result.

folks.

reputation among our people. Judge

POLICE COURT.


Wednesday Oct. "a one-armed
dead-beat drunken loater from Davenport
named Nike Madden, was taken to Jail
yesterday afternoon by Policeman Reinhart
for drunkenness and abusive language to
people on the streets He was here last
winter and was then arrested, with a
satchel containing articles the police be-
lieyed were stolen The satchel was kept
by the police and advertised, but no
one coming to claim it, it was at last
given up to Mike, though little
doubt existed that the articles
were stolen. Since that time the fellow
comes over her periodically, gets drunk
aud then claims that the police here have
got his satchel andi refuse to give it up,
followed by abuse of everybody he meets.
He was fined S25 and costs and, not hav-
ing any money, was sent to Jail, on low
diet till his friends pay or he shall be re
leased.

TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION.
Something about its adoption in this County,
and the efforts Of the Central Clique to
Abolishit.

Having aided in doing away with the old
system of centralized county government,
known as the precinct system, under
which three County Commissioners manage
the whole business Of the County, and hay-
ing aided in establishing the Township Or
ganization system, we have a pretty vivid
recollection of some matters connected
with that contest. One of the most active
and efficient men in the lower part OF the
county in favor of the change, was Edward
Burial, Jr., of this city, then resident OF
Edgington. We remember well of publish
ing letters from him on the subject, and of
his persistent efforts in bringing about the
change. John NJ. Gould, George +.
Holmes and John Kistler were then
County Commissioners-then all Demo
Gratis. In the summer of 1856, a petition,
gotten up by Mr.. Burial and others, was
presented to them asking for an election TO
be called On the question, and they order
ed the election for that fall, and it took
place on the same day of the presidential
election. Yesterday we sent to the Coun-
ty Clerks office to get the figures of the
vote on the question, and received the fol
lowing reply from Mr.. W. W. Webster, a
cl,rk in the office:
TO the Editor of the Argus:
II can find nothing in this Office to show
how the vote was cast for township orga-
niZation, by precincts or otherwise. How
they arrived at it do not know, but ac-
cording to the abstract made by MIR. Joseph
Comet, then County Clerk, dated 10th day
Of Nov, 1856, the vote stood 2,3l4 for, to
l47 against How he arrived at it know
not for there is nothing, as | can find, in
the office to indicate the authority for the
abstract.
We then searched the files of THE
ARGUS of that date for published returns,
and found, published as official, the vote
for Township Organization, but no figures
of the votes against it. According to Mr.
Comets abstract there was only l47 against
it in the whole county, but in what pre-
cincts they were east or how many at each
precinct we cannot lie arm. There were
then only ten voting precincts in the coun-
ty, and we give, below, the vote as pub
lished in THE ARGUS Immediately after
the election. We also add another column
showing the entire vote cast for president
on the same day, at each precinct. There
were three candidates-Buchanan, Free
mont and Fillimore-and we have added
the vote of the three together, in order to
show how many people failed to vote at
all ON the Township Organization question.
Adding up the votes as found certified in
Mr.. Comets abstract, and it will be seen
that 34S persons who voted for president
did not vote at all on the Township Organ
izatiOn question. The table, as made up
from the figures published in THE ARGUS
