The Democrats are opening their cam
pagin in New York with revival of Gov.
Dix's connection with the Credit Mobilier
scheme. Gov. Dix was president of the
Union Pacific Railroad company, and when
he retired from the position had some un-
settled claims against the company. What
these claims were whether substantial or
merely constructive we cannot say but
his friends in the company managed to
nave the company give him $4,000 in
liquidation Of them. While at the head OF
the company, he approved the contract
with the Credit Mobiier under which
large portion of the road was built and
large portion of the frauds on the govern
ment committed. 1t has been charged
that when the Credit Mobilier investiga-
ton was had, he was summoned before
the committee, but refused to appear but
his friends deny this, and declare that he
was ready and willing to testify, but was
not summoned These, together with an
allegation that the payment of the $50, 900
was the result of a threatening letter
written by Dix to the company, are the
eading points in the case. They certainly
nave disagreeable look, and every friend
IT Gov. Dix must regret that he allowed
himself to have a connection with the
colossal scheme for swindling the govern
nent. 1t has done him no good and much
harm, and proves to what lofty positions !
he tide of corruption has reached. .

Had this Kellogg usurpation been at.
tempted in Ohio, Illinois, or Michigan, il
would not have been tolerated one day by
the people of either State nor could all
the army and navy of the United States
have induced or compelled them to submit
to such an atrocous despotism and fraud.
What has taken place in Louisiana twenty
months after the crime was committed
would have taken place here on the instant,
and no Federal troops nor Executive proc,
amations would have been interposed or
could have availed to restrain the outraged
people from hurting the usurpers from
their places The President long since
was fully satisfied that he committed an
error in recognizing Kellogg and employ
ing Federal troops to put him in power,
He has more than once appealed to Con
gross to relieve him from the consequences
of such an act The responsibility is now
upon him If he is to do anything more
than issue his proclamation, we hope he
will put military officer in executive com
mand, and hold the State in that condition
until Congress shall meet and perform its
long neglected duty in the premises. CHI

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The Independent Reformers of this
county, at an unusually large, har-
monious and united convention, nominated
August Huesing, of this CITY, for
sheriff. and Eric Oekerberg, of Moline, for
coroner. 1t is but natural that the people
should desire to know something Of the
men who are presented for their suffrages,
and with that view we will make brief ref
erence to them.
August Huesing is native of Ham
burg Germany and 40 years old. His
father owned and operated wooden fac
tory, in Germany. Hard times rendered
his business Improbable and he sought to
better his condition in America. He ar
rived in New York with his family in 1876.
remained there till 1849, when he removed
to Baltimore, where he died in 1869 Au-
gust was about Ia years of age when his
father left New York, where he remsined
having secured a situation in q groc cry
store. In 1854 he came to Davenport, be-
ing about 10 years of age. He first work
ed on a farm in Scott county, and after
wards secured a situation in a regular
country store in Davenport, where they
dealt largely in all kinds of goods pur-
chased by farmers, and where he remained
some time He afterwards clerked and
travelled for DR., c. Tegeler, and finally
became partner With him in this city
Hard work and close application to bust
ness had somewhat impaired his health
and in the spring Of 1873 he retired from
business and, by the advice of his physi-
clan, made trip to Europe, returning
about year ago. Mr.. Huesing is man OF
some property and responsible, first class
business man, though not now engaged in any
business, Most -four people know and high
ly respect him. To those who do not know
him, We will say that he is a man of strict
est integrity and uprightness well educa.
ted; of fine personal appearance; gentle
manly and agreeable manners, and perfect
ly correct habits. He is an intelligent rea-
soner, good talker, and can address a
public assembly acceptably, either in Eng
fish or German. He is popular among all
classes, and will make a very popular and
acceptable sheriff
Mr.. Oekerberg has been "a years a resi-
dent of Rock Island aud Moline, and is
well known to nearly all our people. lie
is native of Sundswall, Sweden, and is
81 years of age. lie came to this county
in 1850 and to this city in 1851, where he
started business as a jeweller. In 1854 he
removed to Moline, where he has carried
on the same business ever SINCE and is
now thus engaged-a business he has been
engaged in since lS42. He is counted
among the best citizens of the county; au
intelligent man; fully competent for the
position of coroner, and it viii be a credit
to the people to call him to the duties of
that Office ..
These are the Independent Reform can
didates--men who mean reform and econ
omy in public affairs. Let ali Independent
men rally to their support and elect them

Gen. Henderson.

The nomination Of Gen. Henderson does
not appear to meet with ready aud cheer
full acquiescence by the friends of the 9th
er candidates, and though no open revolt
is as yet proclaimed, it is very evident
there is an under current which sets very
mrong in that direction. There is an un-
usual amount of "grumbling' by the de-
teated parties, aud il is avOwed in some
quarters that if the nomination was TO he
made over again the result would be differ
ent BE tins as 1t may, there is good rea-
soa to believe that he will receive but a
cold support 10y a large share of the friends
OF the defeated candidates, and should the
opposition put an acceptable man in the
field be would secure good many Repub-
Hcan votes. In addition to this the course
pursued by Gen. Henderson during the
last Presidential campaign was so excess
lively and unnecessarily bitter as to alien
ate many whom otherwise be might now
have called bis friends. The opinion
pretty generally prevails that Gen. Hend
erson was willing to do almost any party
WORK required of him, in order TO place
himself In the line of succession for

Are Official Acts Of the President at Long
Branch Legal

There is question raised by some OF
the papers on the strength of the discovery
of the following provision of an act passed
in 1890:
"AU offices attached to the seat Of government
shall be exercised in the District of Columbia and
not elsewhere, except as otherwise expressly pro-
yided by law
The postal treaty with France, the com
missioning Of Postmaster general Jewell,
Sc, have been signed by the President
away from Washington, and good deal
of ike routine business has been executed
by him at Saratoga, Long Branch, Mar
thas Vineyard and 'all along shore" and
it is held by some that none of these Off
cial acts are legal. ''Absenteeism works
as badly for Washington as it does for Ire
land, and in the interests of the District
we should not be sorry to have this point
of objection made good. But we doubt if
the presidency is an office attached to the
seat of government within the meaning
of the statute quoted. But at the same time
there is no doubt that the American peo
pie would prefer to see the chief magis
trate keep his place at the helm OF the

MURDER.-From the Olympia Courier
we learn the particulars of murder
committed near Tenino:
A Mr.. Taylor. living near Tenino has
been missing since the 18th of Novem-
Der. A short time since Dabney Jones,
who had worked for Taylor showed
Mayor Miller OF Olympia letter pur-
porting to be from Taylor at Victoria
directing him (Jenes) to sell or mort
gageTaylot's property, Keep part of
the money and send him the rest. A
citizen of olympia soon after discovered
that the-ietter was forged by some per-
son in Olympia. This circumstance di-
rected suspicion upon Jones having
made away with Taylor. A warrant
was gotten cut for his arrest and Sheriff
Billings, Marshal Mossman end Daniel
Mir went out ts arrest him. They
found him enjoying himself at Christ
mas party at the house of Mr.. James,
near the Big Mound. When informed
that he was arrested for the murder of
Taylor, he exclaimed, "Why, Taylor is
in Victoria. He was then hand cuffed
and brought to town. After he was
lodged in Jail, Mr.. Hume, the proprietor
of the skating rink, called upon him and
finally persuaded him to confess. Messrs.
Billings and Mossman were called in to
whom he related substantially as follows
That he had been working for Taylor
One day Taylor was away from home
and on his return he discharged Jones.
While making settlement, some dis
pute arose and high words passed be-
tween them. Taylor then took his gun
down and left the house. When Jones
started to leave he saw Taylor with his
gunat his shoulder pre- pairing toshoothim
He rushed up to him and struck up the
gun just as he discharged it. Jones
then went for his revolver. On his re-
turn Tayler again attempted to shoot
him. Jones then drew his revolver and
shot him ir the side. Taylor fell and
asked Jones not to fire again, but on his
endeayoring to reach his gun Jones shot
him second time, hitting him in the
head. killing him instantly. He then
put the body on a wheel-barrow and
concealed it in the woods.
Coroner Mossman went to Coal Bank
on Friday and found the body where
Jones said it was. 1t was far gore in
the last stage of decomposition render,
ing it very ii very difficult to make an
examination. Two wounds were found
one in the side in the region of the
heart and the other in the side of tho
head. A Coronor's Jury was impanell-
ed, who returned a verdict that de-
ceased came to his death on or about
Nov. II, 1873, at his residence in Goal
Bank Precinct, Thurston county, W. 7.
by two gun shot wounds. Said wounds
were caused by two shots fired from a
revolving pistol in the hands of Dabney

TEMPUs FUG1T.- AS the year rolls
round, and the seasons succeed each
other, each with their peculiar interests,
there is probably none which brings
with it as many pleasant associations as
the Christmas Holidays. During the
year 1878, now drawing to close, many
hard knocks have been aimed at our
ambitious little city. yet it still lives,
with increased energies and brilliant
prospects for 1874 With gratefulness
for past successes, and hopes buoyant
for the future, We would he neglectful
of duty if we failed to properly observe
the approaching Holidays, by making
suitable presents to our friends, and SO
perpetuate the time-honored custom.
