We regret that Conductor j. j. Fitzger-
aid is going to remove from this city. He
has now been connected with the Rockford,
Rock Island & ST. Louis road for about
four years, but, having received offers of,
what he thinks, better positions on three
other roads he has resigned his position
here, aud will leave, with his family, for
the home of Mrs. Fitzgerald's people, in
Shelbyville, KY, on Tuesday. He has not
decided which of the offers made to him
he will accept, but most probably it will be
the one at Little Rock, Arks. We wish
him success wherever he goes, and com-
mend him to all as gentleman WORTHY OF
all confidence, and as hrst-class business
nlan.
Mr.. Albert Cole takes his place on the
Rockford road.

WANTS INFORMATION.
He Don't Read the Papers With Care

The Geneseo Republic (postmaster) of
this week has the following:
1.-THE Rock ISLAND ARGUS would con-
descend to give its opinion of the financial
plank in the Independent Reform" par
tvs platform itwould crafty us exceeding
ly to have it do 80. If we have read THE
ARGUS correctly, it is in favor of honest
money lis that the term?), and utterly
opposed to flooding the country with rags,
Does it still occupy that position? If so
what does it think of the rIank aforesaid
An early answer will be gratefully recelv-
ed by yours truly.
1t affords THE ARGUS much pleasure to
furnish its friend the information he de-
sires. If he was careful reader, he
would have found an editorial in THE AR
GUS of last week, under the head The In
dependent State Convention, in which the
Information he seeks was to be found
The ARGUS then said
We should have preferred a square in
dorsement of the Presidents veto-but
the convention declined to take any action
whatever in regard to contraction or inha-
ton. Upon this point we the conUention
'o0s unequal to the emergency. 1t may
have been policy, but the people don t
want policy, they want principle. 1t they
we're not agreed and could not agree upon
the principle of the world-specie values,
and specie payments, then let as retegote
this question to the fight on Congressnaen
and see aChether our people aoant honest
money or counterfeit money.
1t seems to us that our postmaster
friend could have found in the above an
indication at least as to the position of THE
ARGUS. If he desires stronger and more
explicit language we will say that we re-
gard the action of both the Independent
and Republican conventions as cowardly
and illjudged. This question, which each
sneakingly evaded, is the foremost
question in the coming election,
and we shall try to make il
such in the election for congress and the
legislature in this district If it will afford
the Republic further satisfaction, we viii
say that THE ARGUS does not intend tc
support any man for congress or for the
legislature who is not in favor of a speedy
resumption of specie payment and re-
turn to the true principles of business
which were in existence before the late
war, and before the people became de
bauched by speculation and political par
ties demoralized by rings and corruption
such as this country never previously wit
messed. The ARGUS is an Independent
paper, bound to no party, clique or ring
and will support no man or no party which
does not accord with its notions of RICH
and wrong,-and it freely accords to othel
people the same right.
E We trust that the Republic, having
sought this information. will give it to it
readers in our own words.

Bradley vs.. Hynes.

A creature of the name of Bradley was
the Republican candidate at-large, for Con-
gress, at the last election in Arkansas. and
was beaten by Hynes. Bradley thought
his shade of politics would put him into
the seat the people refused to give him and
he contested. He failed.
The following paragraphs from the re-
port are the findings of the House election
committee in the case of Hynes, congress
man at-large from Arkansas, against whom
charges of bribery were brought by his
late competitor:
The committee do nor find upon examination of
| the SAID de positions and the exhibi 9 attached to
thu IN. any evidence or proof, not even an intima-
non that Mr.. Hynes had been guilty of any fraud
| or improper pract connected with the election
Neither do the dispositions show that the memorial
| 1T WIS elected as he states, but the contrary
tend most strongly to show that Mr.. Hynes was
| elected by much larger majority than that upon
which the governor gave him the certificate OF
! election.
With reference to the payment of the expenses Of
Mr.. Bradley's dep positions by Mr.. Hynes tue com
mttee do MOI find hat it was done for the purpose
of securing his seat In congress corrupty mr. thai
he had any cause to fear the of Mr. Bradley
| They say the committee cannot but re
gard the conduct of the memorlalist as dis
honorable and mercenary. If he believed
he had any merits in his case he betrayed
the rights of those who gave him theil
suffrage If he did not believe his contes
was meritorious his demand for money wa
most dishonorable.

plain facts in the House the other day in

II desire to disenchant the minds of gen

to our Notifications and danger of a war
about Cuba. want this country to un-
derstaud that all this talk in the newspa
pers about Cuba and belligerent rights, and
the action of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs of this House is utter nonsense.
That committee never had any idea Of
bringing III any bill recognizing the indie
pendence Of Cuba or for the freedom Of the
cotored people there. The colored people
of this country might as well understand
at once that neither their civil rights nor
the rights of their friends in Cuba will be
cared for by this Administration or by this
Congress. And there is no use for men
who have Cuban bonds to prowl around
this House or to get up newspaper articles.
