TnE Sun don't understand. Mr..
Clements, "the willin' little cuss," is in
favor Of the enactment of the civil
rights bill. His party is in favor of
the enactment Of the bill. All the ne
groes in the land, in n mistaken notion
that it will give them equality with
white people, are in favor of its enact
ment. This bill is very dangerous
bill. We do not fear it because it has
been charged that after its enactment
the negro will be the social equal of the
white man. We know that equality of
no kind can be enforced by legislation.
We fear it, because, inst cad of its Civ
ing peace to the country, it is likely to
introduce the torch, the sword and the
bludgeon because it is dangerous
usurpation of power by the federal
government because it will do more
to degrade and brutalize the colored
man than it will do to elevate aud re-
fine him. Mr.. Clements must stand
trial upon his advocacy Of the civil
rights bill

AT last Mr.. Henry Carter, the great
Bourbon leader of Southern Illinois,
has an organ. The Mound City Jour
nal has, we infer from the above, cast its
fortunes with the Joe Ledhe party and
will hereafter muster with Henry. We
are not absolutely sure of this, however
Ii is just possible We may see The
Journal dividing itself among all the
parties--applauding Ledlie, supporting
the Independent Reiormers, and doing
all it can to elect the Radical Spence,

ST. LOUIS, August S.-The creditors
of Alexander Il Co. concluded to-day
to put the firm into bankruptcy This
action is based mainly upon the fact
that about week before AleXanders
operations were made public the State
Savings association and the Fourth
National bank discovered they had
forged receipts, and required him to
take them up or be exposed, whereupon
he paid the State Savings association
one hundred and ten thousand dollars
and the Fourth National bank forty
five thousand dollars. Under the
bankrupt law these banks will be
obliged to turn these amounts over to
be divided, with the other assets,
among the general creditors Of the
firm.

romantic and originally gotton-up first
class elopement, by uniting in wedlock
John w. Shr0yer, OF Waterloo, and
Miss Mary Kraft, from six miles north
of La Porte City. 1t seems that for
Some time they had contemplated
committing matrimony, but for an
equal length of time the father OF the
fair Mary had firmly, if not fiercely,
insisted that no such affair should ever
take place, and was moving her by
night from place to place in order that
no meeting should take place between
the lovers.
But they were determined fearless
and ready, and accordingly young
Shroyer procured one of Waterloo's
most spanking livery rigs, proceeded to
LA Porte city, and was soon in private
and earnest consultation with his law
yer AS the young lady was of age,
habeas corpus, etc, were suggested, but
would not answer the emergency,
such process being too slow, when inn
mediate action was necessary. AT last
II happy thought occurred to Mr..
Shroyer, which was successfully car
ried out thusly;
He remembered one having dropped
his breast pin, and Mary playiully
picking it up had kept it. Capital.
He would have her arrested that very
night for stealing the pin! He accord
ingly swore out II warrant before JUS
tice McQuilkin. Constable a. Cotton
Immediately proceeded 20 the domicile
of the cruel and ohdurate "parient,"
closely followed by Shroyer, and ar
rested the girl at , o'clock Tuesday
morning, before the very eyes of the
father and another sutor for his daugh-
ter's hand, whom the father--but not
the girl muchly--smled favorably
upon.
The officer had proceeded about forty
yards toward La Porte, when he hand
ed his fair prisoner over to his hastily
empowered deputy, Shroyer. Mr. Cot
ton says ii was the iveliest driving he
ever did-trying to keep up with that
Waterloo rig Arriving at La Porte
City, Shroyer Withdrew his action for
theft and paid the costs, but steadily
prosecuted his other claim for a war
ranty of the girls hand, in the shape
ofa marriage certificate, by driving
rapidly in II zigzag course for Toledo.

Mr.. A. Chubbuck has just returned
to Denver from the vally of the san
Juan river, as the Post and Mail is in-
formed, where he, with party from
Denver, have been prospecting THIS
spring. He brings encouraging reports
Of valuable and important discoveries
made on the La Plata river, one OF the
branches of the San Juan. Mr.. Club
buck, with four others, left Denver on
the last of February and reached the
Animas river on the 18th of April:
They prospected for about week and
then went to work and made 1t "pay."
They had water at first, but this soon
failed them. Then they proceeded to
dig a dicth, and when Mr.. Chubbuck
left, on July 9, it had not been COM
pleted. The newly Dissolved gold re-
gion abounds in coal, silver and cop
per, and rs soon as water Is obtained
there will be profitable diggiDgs ON the
La Plata. Captain John Moss The OF
