Twelfth Illinois and afterwards joined the Thirtieth
regiment for three years, or during the war;"
We are glad to learn this fact. 1t is

and did not know where Levi buried his
dead. Most people know that Wiser was
a soldier, and that the Republicans, at
Guyer's bidding, kicked him out of their
county convention three years ago. and
preferred the stay-at-home incompetent,
j. V. Cook, and then kicked him out
again this year. Inasmuch as Mack" is
the more competent man, we should think
that he would begin to realize that the
Republicans have no further use for him
except to carry torch and vote.

these ten thousand five hundred soldiers
They are not with Terry or Crook or Glib

number has been falsely given, they must

near Ninth, few evenings since. in Dav-
export. The victim was Henry Low, an
employee 10 the c., r. |. & P. shops. He
had been visiting some friends 10 the
northern part of the city, and was turning
down town to his boarding house About
IL O'Clock, as he was near Ninth street.
some person cried to him to hold or"
He stopped and inquired, What want
ed" The reply was, Wait a minute"
A man came running toward him from
north. but stopped within twelve or fifteen
feet of Low. and fired shot from a pistol
at him. The ball struck Low in the calf
of his left leg, and almost brought him
down, but he had the nerve to gather him
self and run southwark. the man following !;
but young man who heard the shot, came
running up from the south, and the villain
with the pistol turned and fed northward.
Then another party came up, and the two
new corners assisted Low to Conklin' 8
boarding house, on Fifth near Perry,
where DIR. Fred Baker attended him.
The doctor probed for the ball but could
not fad it-aud the ball remains deeply
imbedded 10 the leg. Low is able to be
about, but is quite lame. 1t is believed
the assault was made for the purpose Of
robbery.

The Davenport Gazette still asserts that,
because Tilden and Tweed were members
of the same state convention, therefore
Tilden approved of Tweed's rascalties.
The Gazette knows better. 1t knows that
there was no utilization whatever between
the Tilden and Tweed men; that Tilden
was elected delegate as an opponent of
of the ring; that two weeks before this he
had issued circular letter to $4,000 Dem
ocrats calling upon them to cut the Tweed
cancer out by the roots" that in the
state convention of 1871 Tweed and his
gang were completely routed by Tlden
aud the reformers; and that from that
day lated the real decline of the ring that
Republicans had fastened upon the city q
New York. The assertion of the Gazette
that TiIden was a Tweed-Tammany dele,
gate is a monstrous falsehood. Tilder
was an opponent Of Tweed's Tammany
He was the leader of what was then called
the Young Democracy" and warree

down and scattered the ring. Ali in

The Rock Island Union, speaking of
what Is falsely called the failure of the
war" resolution passed by the Democratic
national convention in 1864, says:
"Samuel j. Tilden was delegate to the Chicago
convention that framed the platform containing
the above plank, member Of the committee that
drew 1t up and reported 1t, and Is said to be the
author Of the declaration"
1t CRATES somewhat on the feelings of
THE ARGUS to call the above extract a
lie. But then as it Is lie, we can't find
any shorter nor palmer way of putting it
than to call the statement by its, right
name, and to say that the editor who
wrote it is either utterly ignorant of a
notorious Tact or he knows that MIR. Tilden
opposed the resolution, in committee; that
after two hours contest he succeeded in
getting its Objectionable phraseoogy strick-
en- out: that after he and other opponents
Of the resolution had left the committee
room the resolution was restored, against
his knowledge or consent, and that after
it was adopted Tilden got Gen. Mcclellan
to repudiate it in his letter of acceptance.
That was Tildens position on that matter.

Took a Ride.

Last Wednesday, Stewart Walker, who
was arrested not long ago for assault with
intent to commit rape, but was acquitted,
hired horse and buggy from John Brown,
and started out for drive. Last evening
Marshal Halves received a postal card
from Monmouth, as follows:
MONMOUTH, Ills July %.

was left here last Friday. The young man said he

Marshal HAYES notified John Brown,
who started for Monmouth, last evening,
for the rig.
As the supreme court has decided that
case of this kind is not larceny, no efforts
have been made to arrest Walker, who, it
is thought, is in Ohio

Il seems that our townsman, Mr.
Matthias Schnell, the builder of the Broad
way Presbyterian church, has other irons
in the fire. The Aledo Record says:
I'VE learn that Mr.. Andrews, contractor
for building the q. Z. church has thrown
up the contract, and that Mr.. Schnell, OF
Rock Island, has been employed to COM
plete the job, i we are rightly informed,
the change resulted from mutual dissat.
isfaction on the part of Andrews and the
building committee; the former becoming
satisfied that ne would lose money on the
job, and the latter not liking the way in
which he was doing the work. Mr.
Schnell will do them a good job, and
strictly according to contract He has the
contract for the church. at JOY"

What Il terrible thing that would be !
The party which now controls the house
of representatives has broken up the steal
ings of cabinet officer. 1t has let the
light in upon the frauds, corruption and
populations that have been draining the
life blood of the nation. 1t has reduced
by several millions the appropriations
for the expenses of the government, and
taken the first steps towards economy in
the expenditures. The party that does
this will not be Objectionable to a people
who are groaning under heavy taxation
and expenditures out Of all proportion to
the times.

yesterday, for various points in the south

ONE OF THE VERY BEST of the new
hotels in Philadelphia is the Grand Expo
sition Hotel, corner Lancaster and
Girard avenues, location very near
the centennial grounds, and yet in a
very pleasant and quiet neighborhood. 1t
is supplied with all improved appliances,
such, for instance, as those admirable
earth commodes made by the
Wakefield Co., of N. Y. Hence danger
from malarie, from sewer gas, etc., is
much reGuced. During the hot months,
such points are of great note. The hotel
also has a most efficient manager in M.
Riley, late of the Continental Hotel, Phila-
delphia. The bulldogs are entirely OF
brick, and at the close of the exhibition
they can be arranged into private
dwellings. The hotel is the largest in the
world, is conducted on the European plan,
and is cheaper than any other frst-class
htel. 1t is only Is minutes drive from
the celebrated Belmont Driving Park and
Race Course
