Blockin e The Way.

The Rock Island & Mercer Co. R. R.
Co., filed its petition, on yesterday, for the
condemnation of the right of way across
the Henderson tract OF land, situated next
west of S. s. Foster, in Black Hawk town
ship, and Judge Peasants fixed the 3rd
day of August next for the hearing
Bailey Davenport, the agent of the Hen
derson heirs, we understand, has forbidden
the company from proceeding with the
work until the condemnation has been
completed and will accept no security nor
make any terms which will enable the
company to go on until all the formalities
of the law are complied with. This will
probably delay the work for week or ter
days bnt still the road will be completed
before the close Of the season. All the
right of way has been secured and this viii
probably be the last impracticable obstruc
ton to be dealt with on the line.

The Chicago Post and Mail of last
evening, contains column article under
the following display head lines:

The Athletic Boat Club.

The success of our Moline neighbors, of
the Sylvan Boat Club, has, we are very
glad to perceive. aroused the ambition of
some of the Athletic boys to form
similar club here. The subject was dis
cussed last evening at meeting Of the
Athletic Club and Messrs. Joseph Gaskell,
Homer j. Lowrey, Thos. j. Rodman, }.
F. Robinson, and Ben T. Cable were ap-
pointed committee to inquire into the
cost of boats, etc, as well as to ascertain
the feeling of the various members of the
Athletic Club in the matter. This com
mittee will report to special meeting at
an early day. If the idea is carried out, as
it should be, it is not proposed to make
every member of the Athletic club men,
Der of the boat club-only those who wish
to enroll their names in the new enterprise.
There are certainly enough young men in
the Athletic Club having taste for boat
ing to give to our city boat club of which
she might well be proud. At first they
need not start out with such an expensive
boat-housc anil other parapherualia as will
set the membership fee high enough to
scare away those who might otherwise be
enthusiastic in the matter. Let member.
ship in the club be accessible to all in
terested, aud in time an elegant boat house
may be erected without heavy assessment,
upon any one. A boat-house is one of the
ct ceteras that makes river or lake

Excursion of the City Council.

The excursio1ists on the 'Newsboy,
for pleasure trip down the river, left
our evee at about fifteen minutes past
eight this morning, with the following
persons on board: Mayor Butler, Alder
men Carse, Lundy, Yates and Wollen-
haupt, L. NJ. Haverstick, Jake Huber, G.

VIM. Bell, VIM. Eggleston, j. r. Warner,
ThOs. Foyle, of Chicago, Mr.. J. S. Butler,
of Louisville, and f. A, Cramer. who
acted as engineer.
A good supply of refreshments was put
on board, among which were FIVE kegs of
beer and six boxes of pop. The first
thing they did when pulling out, was
to run into barge anchored at the foot
Of Washington street, after which they got
out into the stream and started on their
way down the river. Biehrs band accom-
panied them.
They are expected back this evening. il

Lectures.

If we are to have good course of lee
lures next winter it is time that arrange
ments were commenced so as to secure a
good combination. The young gentlemen
of the Athlet ic Club have, for few sea-
sons past. by their energy and good man
agement, furnished our city with some
valuable entertainments in that line and
we hope they will be encouraged to do so
the coming winter. If they can save a
few dollars from the course, it goes to
built up club which is credit to the city
and which, We hope, will yet be able to
own building for its uses. They have
managed the lecture business with good
Judgment, and we trust that all citizens
who can afford to purchase tickets will
subscribe early. so that the club can know
what to depend on.

Before Justice Hayden

Judge J. B. Stallo, of Cincinnati, a
supporter of Grant at the last election, and
a very powerful and eloquent man, has
decided to support the St. Louis ticket.
He said to reporter of the Cincinnati
Commercial last week:
Il shall Of course cheerfully support
Samuel j. Tilden, not only because he stands
for the as the representative of reform,
but because he has been nominated upon
a platform which,in my Judgment, imports
restoration of the ancient Democratic
creed, with such notifications as the
events of the last twenty years have made
necessary. Although | regret that the
call for repeal of the resumption act in
the Democratic platform is not accompani-
ed by more particular designation of the
measures which are to replace it, the
platform in this respect does not materially
differ from that recently adopted by the
Republicans at Cincinnati. In all other
respects it is infinitely superior to it. But
the important thing is the practical
Interpretation of this platform by the
nomination of Samuel J. Tilden. who is
known to have battled for the enforcement
of these principles all his life.

he has any defenders left, they are silent.

Fred. Hassaurek, editor of the Cinciu-

platform the best he had ever read. 1t
evades nothing and lodges nothing. 1t
brings the Democratic party back to the
old landmarks, from which it should never
have departed, and rallies it to battle
against that monstrous system of injustice,
iniquity, extortion, and grinding oppression
which is known by the false, delusive name
of Protection to American Industry"
On the currency question it is as sound
as dollar the dollar that chinks," |
declares squarely 10 favor Of the old Ben
ton dollar, by which nobody has ever been
deceived. With its one Objectionable
feature-that in regard to the resumption
act-it is still better, clearer, and more de-
ciGed for return to sound money than the
Cincinnati platform. Mr.. Hassaurek is
equally satisfied with the candidates. He
closed his speech with the statement that
he carries in bis pocket no other vote than
his own.

THE DEAD LOCK.
Power Of the House Of Representatives
Over Money Bills,
A Well Established Principle.

On three accounts; first, by the reason
of the thing; secondly, by the familiar use
of the descriptive term money bill" in
all the debates; and, thirdly by the ex-
ample of England-the conclusion seems
irresistible, that appropriation bills, By
,chich the Government IS carried on, are
within the spirit of the interdict upon the
senate, and that this body cannot origin
ate such bills without violation of we'll
established principle, inherited from Eng
fish jurisprudence, and also without an
hingtng, according to the language OF Col
onel Mason, in the Federal convention,
that compromise by virtue of which the
small states are admitted to an equality OF
representation on his foor.-Speech OF
Charles Sumner IN the Senate, February 7,
1856.
THE PEARL BEYOND PRICE.
These provisions were designed to invest
in this house the entire control over the
public purse: the power of supply this
is invested in the house of commons and
has been iealously guarded by it. 1t j:
the pearl beyond price, without which
constitutional liberty in England would
long since haye fallen under the despotisnl
of the crown.-Speech Of John Merm'an,o
Ohio, an the house Of Representatives, May
q, 1853.
The PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE INVADED
The senate has been guilty of an inva
sion of our privileges. When we seuC
bills there they are returned to US loaded
down with amendments for the very sum
which we refused to give.-Ib.
AN IMPERATIVE NECESSITY,
Sir, retrenchment and reform are nov
matters of imperative necessity. 1t is no
the mere cry of demagogues, but pro
bem demanding the attention and worth,

That EQUALIZATION Report.

The Un,0n continues to abuse the board
of supervisors for not adopting the equal
ization report of Dave Reid and Wash
Sweeney. Ifanybody in the board was in
favor of the report the record don't show
it, Neither Dave or Sweeney had the
courage to demand the yeas and nays and
for all that the record shows, the report
was unanimously repudiated. Is it likely
that Dave Reid and Wash Sweeney are
any better judges of the value of property
in Canoe Greek and Drury than the asses
sors in those towns chosen by the people ?
