Col Frederick A.Conkling (brother Of
the L. 5. senator) writes to the \. y. Sua
regulating the idea, advanced in the col
umns of that paper and others, that he
might become the candidate of both the
Liberal and Administration Republicans
for the United States senate. He regards
the present Administration as having ut
terly forsaken Republican principles and
says honorable and pure men have shrunk
from contact with it for years past, and
that its degradation and corruption equal
those of the Lower Empire and of the
Third Napoleon. He hopes that the Lib
eral Republicans will maintdn separate
and independent organization, and does
not see how this can be done if any fusion
is made with the partiSansof the Admins
tration, He concurs in the principles and
policy of the Syracuse platform, and thinks
that, so long as the Democrats live ap to
their professions of motives analogous to,if
not identical with those of the Liberal Re.
publicans, good faith and wise policy die
tate that the latter should maintain the
same attitude toward them in the future as
in the past.

the Letter of Serg't Jake Adams.

JEFFERSON H., Dec. 2lst, 1874.
To the Editors of The Rock Island Argus;
In your last weekly issue | noticed a
communication from Jacob Adams late
LIST Strgt, Co. A. 93rd Ill. lnf't.," to
which | should like to make short re-
ply. Serg't Adams criticises all newspa-
pers in general, and the Union in particu-
lar, for making 50 many mistakes in re-
fering to a iuatter of so recent date as
the late war. | care nothing about his
criticisms of the Uniot, for it was wrong
and deserved them, but | want to show
the people how consistent some people are,
and how willing they are to have justice
done them, at least.
Serg't Adams says, IF Maj, W. W.
Wiltshire was ever severely wounded he
must have been absent from his command
at the time, as it is a historical fact that
those rebels never have yet been born
who killed or wounded any of the 10th
Ill. Unfit" Aud he further states: II
don't wish to say anything in discourage
ment of the Tooth regiment, but state
facts and rant eue1y body to knOr that this
county had tWenty-sir companies, outside
of the 10th, that done some fighting, aud
want their need of praise.
There is, first one of two. things; the late
st Serg't Co. \. 93d Ill. Int't. is either
ignorant Of historical facts, or too will
Iingly stated faIsehood: Tor | know, to
my own certain knowledge, that Co. b,
of the 10th lii. nfthad three men killed
by rebels, as the late LIST .5erg't Co. A
93l Ill. Init" calls them. Their names
were John johnson, Henry Debaun, and
Scribe Drury, ! do not know but there
may have been others in the l2Gth that
that were killed by rebels, but | do not
think of any others now.
II the late LIST Sergt Co. A 93rd ILL.,,
Unfit, had been as anxious of dong JUS
tlce to others as he was of gaining motor.
lcty for himself, he might have stated
facts to the people instead Of talsehoods.
As to the NEED Of praise that he speaks
Of, ] would say to the late LIST Serg't,
Co A, 93rd III Inf t, and to him iadiUid
udliy. that if there was any honor or praise
in the late war, he is welcome to as much
Of it as he desires to claim, for am not
coyctous oi such honor as | found there ;
aud that | would not for worlds. in any
way, share, or form, detract one single
ray from the illustrious crown of honor
and glory that he won for himself in killing

The Dixon telegraph hashes up quite a
readable and amusing column of small talk
about the Rock Island papers, but por-
ton of it is at the expense of truth. The
refrain is the canal, varied occasionally with
a side hit, but it is mostly canal. In one
of its far fetched fights of Imagination it
says
THE Argus sees no particular good IN any such
ditch" across tht country.
THE ARGUS never said or intimated any
such thing-''on the contrary quite the re-
yarsc," The ARGUS sees great deal OF
good in such ditch and has pointed out
the great good it has seen and hopes the
ditch will de dug; wants to see it dug, and
is willing to help dig it.
The last half of the 7e1egraphs article
is utterly pointless because it misapplies'
misapprehcnds and misrepresents US, APP
plying what We said OF railroad frelghts to
the canal, We presume the Telegraph
cannot be ignorant of the tricks by which
cars of freight are side tracked and delayed,
or delayed in depot yards, or left on in
making up trains, or delayed in warehouses,
or hurried forward with no delay, and thus
made to 90 fast OF slow? And when there
is more offered than can be immediately
forwarded, how the freight of friends goes
fast and the freight of Others goes slow
But it is outrageous for the telegraph to ap-
ply what we said to the canal, which Is free
for all to use on paying toll.
The editor Of the Telegraph seems to
fear that, on the incoming of Democratic
administration in 1876, we shall apply for
the office he expects Mr.. llawley to get
for him as soon as the canal bill passes
He need not fear anything Of the sort. lie
can keep the Office of mule driver, which
he is so anxious about, and we will do
what we can to have him retained even
under Democratic administration.

Vermont has had the reputation of
being the breeder of many fine sons, but
if the Rutland Globe is correct the same
soil has produced several men of the other
sort. 1t says: Matt Carpenter is a Yer

reckon among our sons such distinguished
names as William Pitt Kellogg, the de tacto
governor of Louisiana, Joe Smith, Brigh
am Young, and host OF others who have
left their native state for Vermont's good.
1t is reasonable to conclude that they, one
and all, behaved themselves while resid

because they were here to fame and for

Pardoued.

The governor has pardoned John Malo-
ney and Milan Cornish, who we're sent to
the penitentiary for one year from last
September, and they have arrived home.
On the night of the third Of June these
boys, about ! o'clock at night, went to the
house of Mr.. Norton, on the island near
Milan, and one of them, through an open
window on the ground floor, entered the
room where Rosette Norton was sleeping,
but becoming alarmed he made his exit,
and in his hurry to get out lost his hat
1t proved to be Cornish s hat but he claim
ed that Moloney wore it and that Moloney,
and not he, was the one who entered the
house, The jury convicted them both OF
burglary with intent to commit rape. 1t
was shown in evidence that they had a
pbial of chloroforn when coming over the
bridge at late hour that night and that
thew showed it, and said they were going
to chloroform Rosette They accomplished
nothing except to get into the peniten
tiary-but their devilish intentions were
plain enough.
Their lives have not heretofore. been sc
exemplary as to awaken much sympathy
in their behalf, but the disgrace and pun.
ishment they have received ought to be
sufficient to cause thorough reformation
in their lives. They are young and all
the people would be glad to see them lead
reputable lives and become good citizens
The men who asked the governor to par
don them expect that they will do so
