Got His Longed For Prize.

Gen. Henderson was yesterday nomina-
ted in the sixth district for Congress, on
the l5Oth ballot, over Hawley and Lynde
either of whom was far more deserving Of
the radical nomination. Henderson $ only
strong claims seem to be on the grounC
that unless he got the radical nomination
he would do as in days gone by, bolt the
convention and run anyhow. Personally
the general is very clever fellow, but po
lticalIy he is cypher--that is, his politi-
cal notions seem to be of an elastic kind
that can easily be worked to suit any party
that would run him for congress If that
district is to send Republican to con-
gress, Lynde is the best man, but that fact
is a sufficient reason why Republican
convention did not nominate him. They
were never known to nominate their best
men-PeOrid Democrat, 4h.
The Democrat is exactly right as to the
elasticity" of Tom Hendersons politics -
but the indications are that this district
don't want him for representative.
There are few Thousand Republicans in
this district who say they shall vote for who
ever the Reformers nominate and inas
much as that party had majority in the
district last fall, on the Office of county
treasurer, it seems probable that they will
elect whoever they bring out for congress

A Tricky Candidate for Congress. i.

The following communication is sent tc
us by well-known Republican, and We
give it precisely as written:
Rock ISLAND, Ill.,,
Sept. Sd, 1874.
To the Editors Of The Argus:
Gen. Tom Henderson, the noted fraud
of Bureau county, is nominated, this time,
for congress by the Republicans The last
time he was run by the Democrats, during
the darkest days of the late war, against
the lamented Owen Lovejoy BY whom
he will next be run is hard to say. but it
is safe to presume from his past history
that whenever he can procure nomina-
ton by trickery or falsehood he will do SO.
| am informed by gentleman of this city
that, before the primary elections in this
county, he went to Princeton, the home of
Henderson, to consult with him in regard
to the nominee of the Republican congress
sioual convention, and that Gen. Tom Hen
derson assured him over and over
again he was not, and shoald
not be candidate before that con
vention, and gave good and satisfactory
reason why he should not. On this assur-
ance Judge Lyndes friends went to work
with "a will, and never in the political his
tory Of this county, was such compliment
paid to any man as the Republicans paid
at that primary election to Judge Lynde.
Now for the result Judge Lynde had
put j. B. Hawley in box and such an one
as Tom Henderson was not able to do.
When this noted fraud saw the situation
he took a position, regardless of the prom
ise he had made to his political friends, and
maintained that position and forced his
upon the people. But, thanks
to the powers that be, nomination is not
an election, and the people of this district
particularly of this county. will teach the
man who has procured his nomination by
falsehood and bv taking advantage Of the
position, the same lesson they taught him
when he attempted to defeat the election
Of one of Illinois, noblest and purest pat
riots, Owen Lovejoy. Yours, &C.,
A FRIEND OF Truth AND HONESTY.

Adventure With Burglars.

Yesterday morning about 3 o'clock, Mr.
Louis LeClaire, who resides on Farnum
street, near Tenth, had bit of interesting
experience. He sleeps on the second floor
of his house. At the time indicated above,
he was awakened by noise, and looking
across his room he saw man crouching in
the middle of the floor. He jumped out
of bed-and the burglar darted to an open
window and disappeared through it. MIR.
Le g. seized revolver, ran to the window
and saw four men leaving the premises {;
he fired. and they put and were soon out of
sight. Examination showed that his pants,
vest, ,withS 3 in pockets, silver watch which
was on bureau, and hat, were gone. At
dayli eht he found his pants in the orchard,
his vest, with the Sl3 all right, in the street,
and his hat in the highway.
The burglar had raised a plank from the
ground to the window, removed window
screen, and so entered the room which he
got out of in hurry. The LeClaire man
sion had been tried by burglars an hour
before. They were heard but got away
without being seen. -Darenporf Gazette,
