THE Contested Parishes"

This is phrase applied by the scoun-
drelly Louisiana returning board to all the
Democratic parishe or counties. Not a
single Republican parishes is called con
tested, and they are first counted. In
the meantime forgers and thieves are at
work manufacturing fraudulent and false
afhdavits to stuff into the returns from
the Democratic parishes in order 10 have
an excuse for throwing them out. There
are no contested parishes, and nothing
to contest No election 10 any state was
ever more free or peaceable. The only
intimidation came from Republicans in
timidating c0lored Democrats And the
game of the returning board is to first
count the Republican parishes; then with
their manufactured and fraudulent false
and forged affidavits delay the counting of
Democratic parishes until the last day;
then give certificates to the Republicans
as in South Carolina. Mr.. Grant can not
call this IAN honest count of the vote act
ualy cast, nor will honest Republicans
in the senate indorse it; nor will the mass of
Republicans in the country approve it.
We expect to see such Republican I'm
tied senators as Conkling of New York
Christ;ancy of Michigan; Cameron of Wis
consin; Booth of California; Edmunds and
Morrill, of Vermont; Sherman of Ohio;
Frelinghuyson of New Jersey; Dawes of
Massachusetts; Alcorn and Bruce of Mis-
sissippi; and perhaps others, lead off in
repudiating any thing that looks like an at
tempt to deprive Tilden and Hendricks of
the votes actually cast for them.

On the night of the 10th inst, Bronson S
boarding house, on the corner of Sixth
and Main streets, Davenport, was entered
by burglars and a watch valued at $45, a
coat valued at $25, and another coat and
a pair Of boots worth $40 taken. Chief
Martens, over the river, obtained clue as
to who the burglars were, but he found
that they had left the city. He notified
our police force to be On a lookout for the
thieves, and on Saturday evening Deputy
Marshal Miller and Policeman Brennan
arrested young man named John Muir
ray, as being one of the burglars. He
had one of the stolen coats on when ar
rested. He consented to go over the river
on Saturday night without requisition,
and was taken over and lodged in jail.
Sunday forenoon Policeman Brennan
arrested another young fellow named VIM.
Hunter, as partner of Murray, but not
believed to have been with him when the
burglary was committed.
Later in the day Policemen Feeley and
Brennan arrested Bernard Haney as being
one Of the burglars. The fellow is said to
be the leader of the gang, and a sharp.
shrewd thief. Hunter and Haney were
taken to Jail.
AS an instance of Haney's shrewdness,
he says that three policemen came to the
house where he was staying in Davenport
on Saturday night. He knew what they
were after, and sticking his hands into
the stove he got them covered with SCOT
which he rubbed over his face, pulled
down his hat. and put on an old coat, He
then let the officers into the room and
while they remained he passed off as an
Irish coal hauler. The officers did not
recognize him. and they then started for
this side of the river, thinking he had come
over here. Haney followed them over
walking about so feet behind them oyel
the bridge,
This forenoon Chief Martens came over
after Haney, but he refused to go to Iowa
without a requisition from the governor
and he is still in Jail.
Hunter, as there was no evidence con
Meeting him with the burglary, was fnec

by Magistrate Chopper, and having ne

INTERMITTENT FEVER IS so common

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common III
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalations, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grirdstone by wearing a
respirator, The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any Of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide

We examined that picture and mistook it
for Autograph of Barnum or Montgomery
Queen. As both use the same plate we
couldn't exactly tell which it was inten-
ded for. It seemed to us that the veteran
Snowman was advertising rather early in
the season. The picture, if sthe engraver
has done his duty, makes bis subject look
harder than Barnum did last year, his
face looks fuller, and his hair is cut shorter.
His cheek is the most prominent feature,
and another seasons connection with the
grandest show on earth has made this look
even more brazen than ever. The picture
might also naturally be taken for that Ct
successful lightning rod peddler, an insur-
ance agent, or book canvasser. -MoIine
