AN EMPHAT1c DENIAL FROM GEN. For
REsT.-A few weeks since, the Washington
National Republican published editorially
an extrnct which it declared had been
taken from speech made by Gen N. b.
Forrest at Muldon, Tenn. The sub
stahce of the extract was TINT another war
was inevitable, and therefore the white
paople ought to commence and kill off all
the carpet-baggers and scnllawags, or run
them out of the country. This editorial
was sent to Gen. Forrest by a friend. in
reply to which the general has written n
letter, in which he says:
'1n the first place, there is no town in
Tennessee, to my knowledge, called Mul-
don, and in the second place, have not
made ea public speech Of any kind for more
thnn two years-have never uttered in
public ar private any such language as
the article you enclose attributes to me.

Two More Cases of Small Pox.

The child sick with the small pox at the
house of Mr.. Menan, on Broadway, be-
tween Rock River and Orleans streets, is
slowly recovering, But it is our duty to
state that two more children in the same
house are now down with the loathsome
and dreaded disease, one case being very
severe one. Nothing whatever has been
done, from the beginning, by township or city
officers to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. No sign mas been put up to warn
people away, nor have any measures been
taken to prevent people from visiting the
house or to prevent inmates of the house
from going about town. And we are in
formed that the men of the house do 20
about town daily. We call the attention
of our city and township authorities to the
necessity of some instant action to prevent
the disease from spreading beyond the
house where it now exists. The city coun-
Gil meets tonight Have we board of
health? Something should be done about
TINS matter at once. In the meantime
people should be vaccinated.

Mr.. William Shearer, the Democratic
nominee for Supervisor and er oticio Ov-
erseer of the Poor, keeps grocery store
on the corner of Orleans and Otter streets,
dispensing first class family supplies at
fair prices. The Supervisorship would
prove valuable adjunct to the grocery
trade Union.
Z. Krell the Republican nominee for
Supervisor ond er.o6icio Overseer of the
Poor, keeps restaurant and he finds the
Office of Supervisor and Overseer of the
Poor valuable adjunct to his business.
If the people want Mr.. Shearer for the
Office he promises to distribute the patron
age Of the Office equitably among those
keeping such goods as are furnished for
the poor-not even forgetting Mr.. Krell in
the restaurant line for election days.

The Penitentiary Losing Money.

We state on the best authority that the
penitentiary Is not paying expenses, and
has not been since some time during the lat
ter part of last year, and is nop losing
money at the rate of $1,000 per month!
This fact is known to officials high 10 au-
thority, but has been studiously Kept from
the public. The fact is, the evidence
taken before the investigating committee
even, shows that it is very doubtful wheth-
er the prison is paying expenses, the cook
ed-up report of the managers-which they
have bee careful not to present to the leg
islature-to the contrary Notwithstanding.
This evidence also shows that the contracts
for labor were operated by contractors in
collision with the officers of the prison for
the purpose of defrauding the state; that
the contractors for'supplying food, fuel
and other materials were allowed to sup
ply articles wholly useless and worthless,
and that the convicts were cruelty treated,
tortured and driven to death or insanity.
The evidence shows that the brutality of
Deputy Warden Hale was such that he
was deposed by Warden Wham, and that
Wham was removed from Office at once

One of the City Bridges Gone.

Last night the small dam across the
middle channel of Rock river, on the south
side of Vandruffs Island, and above Ross
Darts paper mill, was carried away; also
the city bridge below it, This bridge was
the smallest of the three small bridges
south of Vandruff's Island. The water
is very high there and the current is very
rapid and powerful, and the railroad bridge
still further down the stream 1.-THE middle
Of the three railroad bridges) was consid-
cred in imminent danger. The temporary
props under it were carried away, and a
portion of one of the piers. To-day it is
thought that this bridge may be saved. A
gang of men are at work there trying to
strengthen and save the pier.
As soon as the water falls little it is
probable that the city will put in fiat
boat ferry there for teams, until new
bridge can be built. The city council
meets this evening and the subject will
probably be considered. People on foot
can walk over on the railroad bridges.

In the Illinois state senate on Tuesday,
Senator John G. Haines, of Cook county
introduced bill similar to the law of con-
gress governing the United States courts
in the matter of "contempts." Its object
is to deprive judges of courts in this state
of the arbitrary power claimed by Judge
Williams and others to commit and punish
persons for constructive contempt of
court. The Chicago Journal says 'the
legislature owes it to the cause of individ-
ual right and liberty to pass this BILL
Senator Haines's bill is as follows:
''The power of the several courts of this
state to issue attachments and infict sum-
mary punishments for contempts of court
shall not be construed to extend to any
cases except the misbehavior Of any per-
son, or persons, in the presence OF said
courts, or so near thereto as to obstruct
the administration of justice; the misbe-
havior of any of the officers of the courts
in their official transactions, and the DISC
bedience or resistance by an officer of said
courts, party, juror, witness or any other
person or persons, to any lawful writ, pro
cess, order, rule, decree or command Of
said courts
This is almost literally the United States
statute on the same subject. 1t is proba
bly, intended to protect newspaper EDITOR
from the arbitrary action of such judges
as Williams of Chicago.
Senator Casey also introduced bill Oh
the same subject. proposing to give al
cases of contempt of court jury trial.
Both bills were received by unanimous
, consent of the senate.
The Chicago Journal, in an article OF
the conduct of Judge Williams, says:
I'VE unhesitatingly pronounce this pro
ceeding judicial outrage of the most ia
grant character. and venture the predlc
ton that it will not be long before tn
Judge will have occasion to repent him o
, his rashness."

A. Modern JeHries,

The course of Judge Williams, of Chica-
90, towards Mr.. Storey, of the Times, has
justly earned for him the excavations of
millions and millions of people who are not
yet prepared to admit that our Bill of
Rights is lie. The people of America
have declared that no man shall be de-
prived of life or liberty except by trial
by his peers. The Chicago Times had,
rightfully and justly, censured the past
acts of grand jury, and for thus exer-
cising the inalienable right of free speech
and freedom of the press, Judge Williams
decides that the editor of the Times is OBJ
structing the course of justice, and adjud-
ges him guilty of constructive contempt
of his court, That man in Cairo, for
criticising the past acts of jury can be
held in contempt by court sitting in Ga
lena is decision so monstrous as to arouse
the fierce indignation of the whole people
of tie state. The mean and petty NAL,
ice of Judge Williams and States Attor-
ney Charles Fl. Reed towards Mr.. Storey
must not be permitted to establish pre-
cedent by which the people aud the press
can be gagged into silence. Mr.. Storey and
the Times are not on trial. 1t is the lib
erty of the press and freedom of speech
that are on trial in the person of Mr.. Sto
rey and the Times, and all men owe hin
their grateful thanks for the abe manner
in which he is defending these inestimablt
rights.

The Supercedeas.

Ii newspaper or a man by criticising
the past acts of jury or court could posi-
bly, be guilty of contempt, (which nearly
everybody denies) the most judge could
do would be to assess fine with the alter
native of imprisonment if not paid. But
this did not suit the shameful purposes of
Judge Williams and Charlie Reed. 1t was
blood they wanted, and therefore this man
Williams refused to assess fine and de-
liberately deprived a man of his liberty
without trial by his peers. Not only this,
but he could not restrain his malice in
court, but twice, in impatient and angry
tones, ordered the officer to remove the
prisoner - Mr.. Story was shown into the
nicely furnished Office of the jailor about
noon, on Monday, and Mr.. Cloudy imme-
diately left for Waukegan to get writ of
supercedeas from Judge McAllister of the
supreme court. Mr.. Storey was visited
by hundreds of people. Judge Dickey,
Hon. B. G. Caulfeld, Hon. r. E. Goodell,
Col Ricaby and others, about 10 in the
evening, while engaged in game of whist
were suddenly interrupted by the arrival
of Mr. Chandler, Of the firm of Cloudy &
Chandler, with the following telegram;
WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, March 29-To George Chandler
Room No. AZ, No. 1862 Washington street; The fol-
lowing is the order for release of Mr. Storey:
Upon plaintiff in error entering into recognizance
before the sheriff in So $780, with George Chandler
as security, he will be discharged srom custody
Signed W K. McAllister, Judge supreme conrt."
W. c. GoUDY.
When the reading Of the telegram was con-
cluded, Mr. Storey's friends joined in dem
constructions of loud applause and congratu-
lations. Judge Dickey Immediately drew
up the bond, which was duly signed. Car
riages were soon at the door and the whole
party drove to Mr.Storey residence where
the remainder of the evening was passed
in pleasant social conversation. For this
act of petty tyrrany Judge Williams will
have cause to deeply repent.

Sharp Silvis nabs an old Thief.

Austin Lathrop, coal miner, was ar
rested about two years ago for stealing a
watch and gun from his aunt,a Mrs. Flagg,
living about four miles back of Moline, but
was released on bail. He then left for
parts unknown forfeiting his bail bond.
About the 10th of this month a man
named s. W. Rogers, farmer. from Mis-
souri, Valley, Iowa, about 20 miles from
Council Bluffs, came here looking for La
throp, claiming that he stole horse from
him about August 29th 1873, and offering
$50 reward for his arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Silvis took the case in
hand and arrested La.hrop at Coal Town
on charge of forfeiting his bail bond and
locked him up in the county Jail. A requi-
sition was made on Governor Beveridge
from Governor Carpenter of Iowa, for
Lathrop, and as soon as his case is settled
here he will be taken to Iowa on the charge
of stealing the horse from Mr.. Rogers.
Mr.. Rogers paid SHARP" the $50 reward

The people can see who gets about 8:

The people can see who gets about $4,000,
which they pay for town taxes.
1t has often been said that the town
clerks Office was worth only about SIG. a
year. 1t will be seen by the above that
1926 40 were allowed to the town clerk du-
ring the last year which makes thatofice
not quite so insignificant as had been sup
posed. The clerk we believe used to get
some SIS. or $40. before the township was
enlarged. But evidently our clerk must
have learned how to charge, by the looks
of this account. We do not intimate that
any of the charges are improper-but it is
evident that the Office pays. So, too, Of
the Supervisor. HIS bills in this account
are only $5l.-but his allowances from the
county, as Overseer of the poor for this
Township, services on committees, and il
the county board, we are informed, make
his Office worth some $500 to 5000 year
