swindling newspaper correspondent, CIV
ipg bis name as l.. F. Copeland, was tarred
and feathered at Knoxville on MONDAY
night. He had spent some time in that sec
ton OF Tennessee, and since the death of ex-
President johnson has written some yery
scurrilous things about that gentleman and
others In that neighbOrhood. This offence,
coupled with some previous confidence tricks
and later attempt to inveigle the daughter
OF an esteemed citizen into marriage. under
false pretences, was too much, and he was
treated as above stated. Manifestly. Wash
ington is the field for this Mr.. Copeland.
Fellows CT his ilk flourish here all the year
round, and the Knoxville code is unknown.

YORK Tribune are gloating over the fact tina,
on Sunday last the rum shop under the tell

closing of the place may have been a very
conmendable act, but what in the world

A Great Storm.

Yesterday morning, with the mercury
just above freezing point, it rained sleet
covering the ground thickly.5 1t was fol
lowed by rain with the mercury at 40. and
closed at dark with very few fakes oil
snow. During the evening the weather
grew colder and the wind freshened from
the northwest to gale, blowing furiously
all night. North of US in the upper part
Of this state and in Wisconsin it showed al
day.
This morning the whole town was g
skating park, but it required strong mus
cles and level head to move at ALL so flu,
rious was the wind and SO glare the ice
over everything The wind has ragged al
day. No one can stir, out of doors, with
out great danger Cattle venturiDg away
from the barn yards fall on the ice anc
and cannot return without help. Only
here and there was team to be SEEM
One or two ventursome hack drivers and
sleigh drivers were abusing their poor
horses by driving around hunting for pas
sengers or leaving their teams to suffer
standing in the cold wind.
We have news that in western Iowa to
day there prevails furious snow storm
ed
80 severe was the wind that, up to 3 O.
CLOCK to-day only five teams had crossed
the U. 5. bridges and only 10 persons on
foot.

CONSERVATIVES, TAKE NOT1cE-Eve,y moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and
much depends on the judicious choice of q remedy
The amount of testimony in favor of DIR. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, as q cure for consumption, fa
exceeds all that be brought to support the pre-
tensions ofany other medicine See Dr. Schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates of many per
SONS of the highest respectability, who have been

Bile by physicians of acknowledge ability Schencks
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show; but the cure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment of two other remedies
which DIR. Schensk psovides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Touic
and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use Of these
medicines, according to directions, DR.. Sehenek

Change of County Lines.

We understand that there is quite a
strong feeling in the townships of Colona
and Western in favor of annexation to this
county. The people can reach Rock Island
much easier than Cambridge, and in fact
the two northern tiers of towns in Henry
including Yorktown, Lorraine, Phoenix,
Alba, Atkinson, Geneseo, Edford and
Colona, and also Western, could reach
Rock Island by rail quicker and easier and
cheaper than they can reach Cambridge
The other towns would make snug little
county, and Cambridge would then be the
geographical centre. The building of SO
many railroads will make reconstruction
of county lines necessity before long.

No other Republican journal in the
country that processes to support the
Administration has treated the Louisiana
question with SO much candor and judicial
fairness as the Utica, NY. Herald From
the first interference on Jan. 4th till the
present time it has fearlessly demanded a
strict obedience to the constitution. and
has frankly told its party that it goes di-
rectly to ruin if it takes any other course
In a recent article on the fruits of recon
struction, it denounced the partisan cries
of a new rebellion. the ''old spirit of
disloyality." revival of the lost cause, y
&c, as absurd, since if there were any dis
position in the! south for another rebellion,
there is not power enough there to make
it potent. 1t says reconstruction is not a
failure, since in ''every southern state,
where the people rule, there is peace, and
full enjoyment of political rights: there is
no sign Of new rebellion; there is nc
hostility to the flag; there is no disloyalty
to the Union" The only exception is
Louisiana. and the Herald frankly avows
its belief that if the control of that state is
surrendered to the white people, to whom
it rightfully belongs, there will be an end
at once and forever to all trouble in Louis
lana" It continues.
But the White League; shall we lei
that govern Louisiana Yes. if it has a
majority of the votes. What then will be.
come of the poor negro? The Enforce
ment act protects him. Ii the whole ma
chinery of the state government were in
the hands of the White Leaguers, the ne.
gro would not suffer as much as he does
now. The Enforcement act makes intimi-
dation and violence against the negro an
offense against the Federal laws. The
Federal courts will protect him. This is
the only possible solution of the Louisiana
question. 1t is the only constitutional
solution-the only one which carries out
the Republican policy of reconstruction. u

Cause Of Nervousness,

The maladies which above all others cause ner-

MIR. 1rischelrs Plan for a City Hall.

To the Editors Of The Argus:
/ see in the proceedings of the city coun-
ell proposition from P. L. Mitchell to sell
to the city the old seminary building and
lot 6Ox8O for $4,000. 1t looks to me as
though the whole matter was cut and
dried for the occasion, and that the city
council was only expected to 90 through
the form of voting yea and thereby COM
ply with the proposition, for ION motion of
Alderman Butler, the mayor was author
lied to have competent person examine
the seminary building and to make plans
/ and an estimate of repairing the same for
the uses contemplated The inference is
that the purchase of said property was a
foregone conclusion.
Reconstruction would have been better
word for Aid. Butler to have used, for the
whole interior of the building must be re-
constructed floors, partitions, doors,
windows, blinds, plastering, ETC., etc, Mr..
Mitchell says THE building is four stories
. high" Is he not mistaken? 1t looks tc
me like two story building, with base.

Good News For Mrs. Hayes,

The many friends of Mrs. Hayes will be
glad to hear that the supreme court Of this
state has just affirmed the decision of the
circuit court of this county in the case of
Amherst Hayes VS.. Maria B. Hayes, which
gives Mrs. Hayes the personal property of
her deceased husband, the Rev. 81. 81.
Hayes, who died in this city on the Goth
of July 1867. Many of our citizens will
remember that the late DR.. Hayes, who
had resided in this city from about 1852,
after leaving the charge of the Second Pres
byterian church in this city (of which he
had been pastor for many years. went to
Iowa, in 1860, and preached there for few
years, and that Mrs Hayes during that
time was in Washington. She never went
to Iowa, nor did it appear that DR.. Hayes
ever intended to make that his permanent
home. He returned to his old homestead
in this city and died here. Mrs. Hayes
administered on the estate. He owned
several houses here, and had several thous-
sand dollars in bonds and other personal
property. Amherst Hayes sought to es
tablish the permanent residence of DR..
Hayes in Iowa and have the estate settled
under the laws of Iowa, which would have
given him and others of his connections
one half Of the personal property-while
under the laws of Illinois it would all go te
Mrs. Hayes. The suit was taken from oul
4 county court to the circuit court and from
5 there to the supreme court but the effor
to establish the fact that DR.. Hayes haC
t permanently abandoned his home here anG
Y made Iowa his home was failure, anC
:, Mrs Hayes retains the property. Council!

On some of the great prairies OF Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas. and the west, where no
timber or coal is found, and no railroad to
bring fuel. the people are compelled to
haul fuel long distances with teams. And
over all that country which is settled they
have an abundance Of straw, slough grass,
corn stalks. ETC.. which they burn on the
ground to get rid of. The Rock Island
