FROM OLYMPIA.--On "Wednesday
morning last it was announced that the
new boat, built by Mr. J. Il. Higgins, ut
Tumwater, for the p s. 7. Co., was to
he launched that afternoon at 2 O'clock
BY half past |, q large number OF people
from town, Tumwater and the country
had assembled, and at 80 the crowd
had greatly increased by fresh arrivals in
nall boats and carriages. About forty
persons nvailed themselves OF the oppor-
tunity afforded and stepped aboard tlr
steamer, which was Raily decked with
new bunting, and at precisely 2 O'Clock
word was given, " All ready, let her go"
and at the instant she ~terled down the
ways, gaining velocity as she went, and
striking the water level she dashed it
from her with q graceful surge. At that
moment, Capt. j. G. Parker drew on the
halliards and the colors opened to the
breeze, displaying the name Messenger !,
a very appropriate one. The boat is It
beauty and IL credit to her builder. Her
lines are good, and she is thoroughly
constructed and fastened Her draught

exactly seven and one.half inches. Shr

Charles Nesler called at this Office this
wv ednesday) morning to correct mere
clerical error in his letter. He says it was
krell that was butchering hogs-not Bail
ey, as enormously stated in bis letter. He
says Bailey brought hogs to this city
several times within the last two years,
but he don't know what he did with
them. But, about two months ago he
(Nesler) came to town and told Krell
about the bad state of affairs at the poor
house, Krell was then butchering some
hogs. He (Nesler) returned to the poor
house, and, few days afterwards Bailey
came into town,-whether he brought in
any hogs then or not he says he does not
know. When Bailey returned he said to
him. Charlie, Mr. Krell won't pay any
attention to your charges. 1t takes big
fat hog to make him all right with me. y
Mr.. Nesler repeats, day, what he said
in his letter, viz What this remark
meant | leave the public to iufer. One
thing is certain, Krell never attempted tc
investigate the charges until they were
made public through the columns of Tn
ARGUS.

A Transfer Boat for Railroad Cars to
supercede Team Transfer.

The managers OF the Rockford are about
to abandon the present system OF transfer
ring between Davenport and Rock Island,
and adopt a method which, it Is believed,
will prove a benefit all around. As our
readers know, the transferring is now done
by teams, which requires good deal OF
time in loading and unloading, to say moth
ing of the rather slow process of hauling.
Before long, this transfer OF freight will
be done in cars which will be run upon
barge built specially for the purpose.
which will be towed across the river. The
barge will be large enough to afford room
for four freight cars. with space enough to
allaw teams at each side OF the cars. by this
means grain and other produce shipped on
that road will be loaded in cars on this side
of the river, to the great convenience OF
shippers. And car lots OF merchandise
from east and south will be unloaded at
our levee. Without doubt, this arrange
ment will increase the business OF the road
in this city.
And the management of the R., r. /. u
St. l.. are striking out for business going
| to Dubuque to compete for southern ship
ments during the season OF navigation
The Illinois Central management are ar
ranging the freight tariffs of their Iowa
division in accordance with the state law;
this will revive the grain trade of that city,
and give the trade in the interior chance
to take advantage of competition at the
river; and they will soon appreciate the
advantages if it. 1t is the intention of the
Rockford folks to take grain for the east
andIsouth at that city at rates which will give
them a show for part of the carrying, at
least-bring tie freight to this point by
steamer and barges, and transfer to their
cars. 1t is believed the experiment viii
prove a success. and thus Dubuque will
get something of a reward, and from ar
unexpected quarter, for her gallant effort:
in behalf of the railroad during the recen
session of the general assembly. The
Illinois Central will thus be bidder fol-
southern freight where before it met n'
competition from other roads.
The energy and enterprise of the Rock
ford management deserve success.-Dac

Ward Supervisors

A correspondent Of the Union who sub
scribes himself ''X'' seems to dislike ward
supervisors ofstreets because the super
visors may possibly be Democrats. He
says
Let ne hope that the Democratic idea of ;appont-
ing their political friends in every ward and paying
them with public money will be seen and estimated
Alright and meet its just reward.
This correspondent forgets that the
mayor will have the appointment of the
ward supervisors and can appoint and
keep in Office all Republicans, even against
the vote of the Democratic majority of the
council the mayors law gives him thi:
power if he chooses to use it.

HEGMAN & CO., of New York City,

try the Pure and UNADULTRATED COP

OF Hegman & Co., as skilful and conscien-

antee of itself of the purity of medicine
prepared by them. and in their prepara-
ton of Cod Liver Oil, they to-day prepare
it in the same careful method as they have
done for the past twenty-five years. 1t is
important for invalds to use Cod Liver Oil
