POLICE COURT
Before E. C. Cropper, Police Magistrate.

One John Bourke complained of James
Broderick, proprietor of the Shamrock
House, for injuring him by throwing a
stone at him. From the evidence it ap-
pears that this Bourke and two compan.
ions went to the Shanrock yesterday after
noon and called for drinks. Broderick de-
clined to set out the drinks till he saw the
color of their stamps. They had no money
and went away Afterwards they came
back and found Broderick absent and Mrs.
Broderick in the bar room. Bourke put
his fingers in his vest pocket as if to take
out his cash. and asked for drinks, which
we're set out. After taking the drinks they
started to walk off without paying and
Mrs. Broderick seized Bourke's hat where
upon he seized her by the hair, tearing off
her head dress, aud breakinga comb. He
then ran out. and as be left, Mr.. Broderick
came in from the back part of the house
aud followed him. Bourke picked up two
rocks and threw them at Broderick, and
Mr.. Ii. fired one at him in return, hitting
him on the forehead and cracking his coco
nut on the temple, and taking all the fight
out of the fellow. From the evidence the
Magistrate could do no other way but dis
charge Broderick The fact is that Bourke
a is loafer and.a dead beat, and ii anybody
is to be fined he is the man who provoked
a disturbance Of the peace He claims to
be from Galesburg, and better have staid
there. He probably will not try to sponge
any more drinks right away
Bourke was able to be present as wit
ness, and was walking about town, after
he trial.

About P, NJ, Police Officer Brennan

the samples of clothes hanging out at
Ieis's store, and soon noticed that he had
coat, hanging on his arm. As he had
seen the fellow few minutes before, in
another place, will, no coat, Brennan
thought he would walk over and see the
chap. AS the stranger saw Brennan walk
ing towards him he ran down Washington

to get on board steamer and hide. Bren-

DR.. Gregg's Pride,


Now Dr. Gregg isn't proud man on
account Of his good clothes or personal
beauty; but, for conscientious political
honesty, integrity and capacity he bates
the divil--so he does, and, of course, is
naturally enough chivalrously proud of his
official action as chairman of the county
central committee In his unex pected re-
marks before the Lynde convention, he
only exhibited the true spirit of the old
school gentleman, when he asked for some
expression of opinion from that body of
Democrats, Liberals and Dead Beats, -
so-called by the Davenport Daily Meddler
That convention listed to this very proper
request of the grey haired chairman and
everybody expected they would soothe his
last Official moments with pill of com
fort. One of the ID. b 5 for he is neither
Democrat or Liberall astorished the CON
vention by reading five names, all Lynde
men and prominent Gregg. harrassers, and
moved that they be appointed by chair, |
central committee in place of DR.. Gregg
and his committee. The Doctor has not VET /
expressed his appreciation of the mannerin 4
which the Lynde convention met his mod. 4
est and proper request. rs the dos. was
administered by one OF the u. b. : instead
of any of the Democratic or Liberal mem

IT WAS AN ANCIENT Custom of the
Spartans, in order to inculcate among
their youth an adherence of intemper
ance and its kindred vices, to make theil
slaves drunk with wine in the public mar
ket places, so that the rising generation
upon whom would some day devolve the
honor and safety of the Lacedemonian Re
public, might see before them all the
CHASTITY details of drnnkard's disgrace,
his loss Of reason, and of physical strength.
''Twere well, perhaps, to day, could some
OF our young men contemplate a similar
instructive lesson drawn from the life,
showing them, by sharply drawn con
trast, the advantages and true loveliness
of abstinence and virtue.
, For snch as appreciate these, VINEGAR
bITTERS IS the beverage best adapted. If
being partly vegetable draught, devoid
of alcohol or mineral poisons. and posses

ming curses, of the different poisons which
year by year are sweeping away thousands

Persoual-Arkansas Affairs,

Mr.. j. W. Austin, some three years
ago resident Of Davenport, but now OF
Little Rock, Ark, is spending few
weeks in this vicinity and paid The ARGUS
a visit on Saturday, conversing at some
length upon Arkansas affairs. He says
the constitutional convention is dong Its
work well and he thinks the new organic law
will be great improvement Oh the old
one. Under the old reconstruction law
the governor appoints nearly all the coun-
ty and subordinate officers in the State,
and has really the power of Dictator, the
people having little or no voice in their
own affairs in fact the government is not
a republican government. The new con-
stitution will restore to the people the
right to choose I'll their county officers, and
leave the governor with only the ordi-
nary powers Of an executive oficer-all
he should have in any State. He thinks
he constitution will soon be completed
and Immediately submitted to a vote of
people, and State and county officers, and
congressman, elected on the same day.
The constitutional convention will redis-
trict the State into four districts INSTEAD
of three az now, with one at large), and
that in redistricting Col. Gunter and
Judge Wiltshire will be in separate dis
tricts, and both will probably be elected
to Congress He says Wiltshire, since he
has quit the carpet-bag gang, is one of the
most popular men in the State. North
ern men who go to Arkansas to become
permanent residen Is, to identify themselves
with the people and the interests of the
State are welcomed and treated in every
respect as equals Northern men who go
there merely to hold office, rob the peo-
ple,and use the negroes as tools to accom-
plish their objects are not popular--are not
wanted there. AS to the negroes there is
no disposition on the part of the conserva-
tiyes to deprive them of one single right
they possess, ON the contrary the conser-
yatives are really the best friends of the
negroes and will protect them in every
right guaranteed to them. The negroes
will yet perceive that the conservatives
are their best and truest friends.
Mr.. Austin Is superintendent of the
Ouita Coal Company, and one of the prin-
clpal proprietors. He is we'll acquainted
with Sam Allen, who recently went from
this county and says he enjoys good posi-
ton as lawyer.

| Here's sample Of the business from last
evenings Democrat:
We wont youch for the truth of it. but good
story IL told of certain Congressional candidate
living close around these parts. He drove into the
country the other day, and called on farmer, He
shook hands with him, introduced himself inqur-
ed kindly for the family stroked the cat kissed the
baby, petied the dog, and offered the farmer lit
tie apirituak consolation then he walked out on
the farm He praised the horses and the cattle and
into ecstaciss over the poultry; was JUST three
quarters OF an hour in getting the calves
from one pasture to another; turn
ground an axe and scythe and then when they
went back TO the house, discovered that the man
hadn't befp in In tss sas ong 'houg 10 t vo T
his natural life in prayer, he couldn't mend what
he did in tho-e few brief moments after making
that discovery.
And it is said that the candidate didn't
feel half so badly as he would, had he
found the farmer an envious friend who
wanted to go to Congress, too, and ready
to lit him, foul or fair, at every opportu.
Gazette, lSh.
Our great desire to see the canal built
and the corrupt Republican party broken
up, is our only excuse for giving any at
tention to the congressional canvass over
the river,-but we cant help telling our
readers that the Democrat alludes to
Judge Murphy in its amusing story about
the candidate who kissed the. baby, &C.,
&C., and that the Gazette alludes to u. N.
of the Democrat, in its neat
hit about tho ''envIous friend who wants to
go to Congress" &c, &c. THE ARGUS
will not take sides between its friends over
the river. but if each party will nominate
the editors of the respective party papers
over there-Richards and Potter. then
THE ARGUswill take a hand in that fight.

Now is the winter of our discomfort il.
the form of colds, coughs and pulmonary
complaints, and in halls, streets, churches,
or wherever men do mostly congregate,
there you hear choros of coughing, with
a full symphony of sneezing, How much
mischief arises from neglected colds, un-
regarded coughs, and the consumptive in
the coffin, perhaps, would have been well
and hearty now if, when it was but a
cough, he or she had taken bottle of Mas

Travellers Testimony.

Thousands Of Travellers by land and sea have
vouched for the efficacy OF Hostetters Stomach
Bilters as preventive of the physical disturbance
which ordinarialy arise from change of climate and
changes of diet, water, &C., incident to wander
ing life. Upon systems toned, invigorated and reg
ulated by this genial vegetable anidote the exier-
nal causes of debility and disease seem to produce
little or effect. Forearmed with Hostetter's Bit
tiers, the voyager may bid defiance to sea-sickness
and encounter tina chilling fogs of The British Isles
the coast winds of the Antilles the icy temperature
of northern Alaska, or the burning heat of thu
tropics, with equal lmppnisy. The effect Of this
admirable meaicafed stimulant is greatly to in
crease the vital energy of the system, thereby en-
abling 1t to resist and repel the exciting causes Of
