Correction.

Some time since, in a local notice Of
some of our citizens who were at work at
La Sale, we stated that Mr.. c. Nj. kinsky
did not apply for work at the Arsenal. at
the time of the reduction of wages last
June. We are informed by Mr.. klnsky
that the statement is erroneous; that lie
was the last to quit work that he appear
ed at roll call the day after the others or
most of them had quit that after consid-
Grafton he urged the men to accept the
terms; that he made the first motion
(which was adoptedl to accept that when
the men appeared, the following Monday
at roll call he appeared with them; that
the list of those TO whom employment
would be given was read off; that neither
his name nor the names of several otLcr
stone cutters was ON the list,-but that
the names of some who stood out to the
last and were most uncompr )misingly Up
posed to resuming work and voted against
resuming work, were given employment,
while those who counselled a return to
work were not given employment. 1t is
plain that Mr. X. and those who have been
at work at La Sale were not factious men.
but eounselled an acceptance of the terms
as the best which could be done for the
men,-and it seems wrong that these ex-
. cellent workmen should be deprived of em-
ployment when they deserve it,and need it
for the support of their families, and when
they are good citizens of this locality.

Off for Princeton.

The Independent Reform congressional
convention will be held in Princeton, to
morrow. Several of our delegates left on
the early train this morning. Others viii
go this evening.
Lee county has instructed for Hon E. B
Stiles, of Dixon.
Bureau county has instructed for Hon
John II. Bryant, of Princeton
Putnam county has no candidate that We
are aware of.
Henry county delegates are not instruct
ed, but it is understood that some of then
prefer Mr.. Durham, and others prefer
Maj Allan.
Rock Island county is uncommited, but
several of the delegates were rather in.
ciiued towards Gen |. H. Elliott, of Blu
| reau, though he was not and is not known
to be u candidate. Others preferred Mr.
Durham. There is no strife, no excite
ment, no feeling about the matter, and II,
one is striving TO secure nomination, a.
We are aware. We doubt not that all vii
candidly compare opinions and endeavol
to find and unite on the strongest man.

No one connected with The ARGUS has
the slightest unkind feeling towards Mr..
John V. Cook, county clerk, or towards
any assistant Of his, and in what is said of
his official acts, or of those in his employ,
THE ARGUS is governed only by sense
of public duty. The county clerks Office
is in incompetent hands. Mr., Cook is an
unfit man to have charge Of the office.
He has neither the knowledge necessary
to discharge its duties nor the capacity to
acquire it, Nor has he an assistant pos
sessing the necessary knowledge. 1t was
misfortune to the county that he was
elected. but if he will not resign, and if
the supervisors will not remove him, there
seems to be no other way but for the pub
lie business to suffer and the peo-
pie to continue to be taxed for ig-
norance and incapacity. Neither Mr..
Cook nor any man in. his employ is
capable Of making proper and an intelli-
gent record. Take, for instance, the pub
lished report of the proceedings of the board
of supervisors: They are a mass of botch
work and Ignorant blunderers, calculated to
bring the board into ridicule as set of
wooden heads, and placing the worthy and
intelligent Chairman in the position of an
incompetent ignoramus, The proceedings
as published are not record of things as
| thn., t,une,,,roI and vborn &c
nected with the Office capable of making a
proper record. Members are credited
with making the most incomprehensibe
and unparliamentary motions, and the
Chairman is credited with entertaining
them. Matter is injected into the pub
lished report which was never before the
board at all and has no business on the re-
cord and the whole report, as published,
brings ridicuIe on every member of the
board, and makes intelligent citizens blush
for the ignorance either Of the members or
the clerk. We have not space to spare to
point to instances ia detail. The report,
every session, is full of ludicrous blunders.
Take one, in this mornings paper The
report says:
Supervisor Fca-er moved that the bill of NJ. c.
Ward for S3l filed at last session OF the Board be
| allowed. Carried.
supervisor Parmenter moved as an amendment
| that the bill be referred TO the Committee on Mis-
cellaneous Claims. Amendment lost.
In this case Supervisor Parmenter APP
pears in the stupid attitude of moving an
amendment to motion after the motion
had been adopted, and the Chairman APP
pears in the ludcrous role of entertaining
and putting to vote such a motion. The
only way to have reached the result desir-
ed by Supr Parmenter was to reconsider
the motion allowing the bill. But the rec.
ord is not true, as we are informed, and
this shows the fault to be in the clerk
The motion to amend was made and lost
before the till Was alloaced, which was all
proper. But the clerks record makes
Sup'r Parmenter and the Chairman APP
pear ridiculous, and makes every mem
Der Of the board seem too stupid and ignor-
ant to correct the blunder. That is fair
sample of some Of the published proceed
ings, every day. How long must the peo-
pies business be mismanaged, the county be
brought into ridiculc, and the tax payers
compelled to pay for it

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 chores, of coughing, with
full symphony of sneezing, How much
mischief arises from neglected colds, I'M
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

There seemed, few days ago, pros
pect that the McEnery and Kellogg par.
ties would come to an understanding by
which a new and honest election might be
held aud peace and good feeling restored.
The McEnery party proposed that the reg
stration and returning board should con
sist of two McEnery men, two Kellogg
men, and that these four men should select
a non partizan man for the fifth. This
would probably.have insured fair election
but the carpet baggers know that this
returning board is the key to their success,
because it can make such returns as ii
wants, no matter how the votes may ha, e
been cast. This Kellogg board is the en-
bodvment of all the frauds in the election,
and to have it constituted fairly would be
the defeat of the carpet baggers. For
that reason they will not consent to fair
board How long these people will endure
these frauds no one can tell. At present
they are pinned down with Federal bayo-
nets
