NEW YORK, March z, 1875.
To the Associated Press:
r Please deny upon our authority the state
msnt attributed to Fred. Mitchell, of St
Louis, and published in Boston newspaper
| to the effect that our house has informed hin
that Ex-senator Stewart failed in his first at
tempt to interest Schenck in the Emma Mine
scheme and succeeded only after he had pro-
cured letter from Grant urging him to &C
cept stock, and that subsequent to this the
through US, to the order of the President, fol
twenty Thousand dollars. There is not a word
of truth in the story, as we would be glad to
testify whenever an opportunity is afforded.

WASHINGTON, March This morning Rep
resentstlves Clymer Blackburn and Robbins,
of n c., members of the Committee on Ex-
penditures in the War Department, appeared
before the Criminal Court and stated that
they had been subpened to appear before the
grand jury. They denied the authority of the
court to lnterrogate them as to the testimony
Of any witness before the committee of Con-
gress. Besides, they are constantly engaged
in their duties as members of the committee,
which would make it lnconvenient for them
to be present.
They did not wish to plead their privileges,
but to enter their protest, not only here, but
on the records of Congress for the country.
District Attorney Wells said he thought he
could remove the difficulty presented. In the
first place, there was no motive or desire to
ask any member of the committee anything
as to any matter testified by any witness be-
fore the committee, and, in the second place,
approaching the duties and engagements Of
the distinguished gentlemen, he thought the
Grand Jury would fix such time as would
subject the gentlemen to the least inconven-
fence.
To this they replied that if they were re-
quired to 60 before the grand jury and testify
in relation to any matter it would be impos-
sible for them, as members of the committee,
to give due attention to the examination of
matters with which they were especially en-
trusted Judge Macarthur remarked that it
would not be competent for them to testify
as to what witness said before the commit
tee, because that would be only hearsay evil
dence; he would consider the subject and
confer with the District Attorney, so that
when these gentlemen were wanted they could
be 80 informed.
The gentlemen then left the court. The
District Attorney to-day sent one witness
before the Grand Jury. who were considering
charges against Belknap, and will send
others.
Belknap had not, at O'Clock, been brought
into the police court to give bail.

MADR1D, March THE address to the
King has been drafted and read in Congress.
1t declares, referring to Don Carlos, that that
obstinate and ambitious Prince has recrossed
Pyrenees without obtaining any concession
which might encourage renewed rebellions.
The Chamber rejoices that cordial relations
exists with foreign powers, and hopes the dlf-
6culties between Spain and the United States
will be settled to the satisfaction OF the two
countries, which should march united in the
path of progress and liberty.
Congress ardently desires that an arrange
ment be made with the Holy See consistent
with mutual rights. 1t believes the conclu-
sion Of peace in Spain will destroy the last
hopes of the authors of the war of devastation
and pillage in Cuba Peace unites the King
and people, who together will vanGuish all
future obstacles.

The Rockford Extension.

Skinem gang, in this city, in its issue of
this morning says:
L. Stanton, manager, in charge, T. F. Abbott
and James McElherne, who have been engaged in
turned yesterday afternoon and will remain here
waiting orders.
They'll wait a good while before they
do any more work on that job. We hope
they will get thier pay for what they have
done, for the thing has exploded. Neither
Osterberg nor anybody in his private ring
ever intended to build the Byron exten-
sion. We have the evidence to show that
Osterberg reported to the Frankfort Com
mittec that he was only pretending to IA
vor the extension in order to excite other
interests to make al offer for the road In
other words, that he was fooling the PEG
pie Of Dixon and along that line, getting
them to put up money for surveys, give
right Of way, hold public meetings to fool
the citizens, etc. etc.-that was Oster-
berg's game. And he fooled John
Could. Charley Deere, and lot of people
over the river, who consented to be his
fools in the game. Wonder how they
feel about it now? The ARGUS warned
them in time for them to save their repu-
tat;ols-but they did not heed the warning.
Where are they now?

An UnjUst6iable and Brutal Assault on
an Honest Man.

We clip the following from an editor
ial in the Union of this morning:
b. II. Kimball, an old Democratic toady and an
opponent of the war for the Union
There would be just as much propriety
or truth in our abiding to John W. Spen-
Ger as IAN old Republican toady and OPP.
ponent of the war for the Union" That
Mr.. kimball is Democrat is no more
to his discredit than that Spencer is d
Republican. They have right to their
own political views the one the same as
the other, and the coarse brutality of the
Union will be despised by all decent peo-
pie.
As to being an opponent Of the war, the
charge is wickedly false. Mr.. kimball
held the office Of supervisor nearly the
whole time of the war; and gave his time
to the cause of supplying the quota of
Rock Island and to disbursing the relief
for the soldiers families. A portion OF
the time he was chairman of the board.
lie was then doing prosperous business,
and had he refused office and attended
to his private business he would have
been a we'll off man to-day. Most
people remember how he neglected
his own business and gave his time to the
support of the government in carrying on
the war; how zealously he worked to save
the town from draft; how he went to
Springfield with men hired by the bounty
to fill the quota; how he looked after the
soldiers families. etc, ETC. He was a zeal
Gus supporter of the war and disbursed
thousands of dollars of public money in
aid of the war,-and no charge Of dishon-
esty was ever brought against him, nor i,
there any such charge now. But because
he is poor: because he became poor by
giving his time to the public; because be
is unable to discharge what Judge Pleas
ants has decided to be only civil debt, il
is an outrage for the Union to circulate
such byutal and false and malicious lie.
about hun The people know that he be
came poor By neglecting his own bushes:

9TH Hurt Milan"

Many people seem to think that the
building of the Mercer county railroad will
seriously injure Milan. Very likely it will
cut off some trade and reduce somewhat
the shipping of stock FROM that point. But
Milan must not expect she can always pre-
vent that, or that her only hope of pros
perity hes in the shipping of stock or the
selling of few goods to farmers Her
prosperity lies in another direction. She
has the finest water power 10 the west.
The Moline water power is not circum.
stance to it. The Milan water power is
worth 10 or 20 times more than the
Moline power, and it is reliable-Molinc is
not The prosperity of Milan and South
Rock Island lie in manufacturing, aud the
time is coming when mills, factories and
shops will cover all that territory and
bring a greater population than Moline.
Let the owners of the water power offer
liberal inducements to capital to build
shops aud mills. aud they will tind that the
Mercer county railroad will largely aid In
! their prosperity instead of ipjuringit.

Herr Osterberg, the pseudo baron" is

Brewster and others, the fgurehead di-
rectors of his rotten ring, in order to con-
trive some way to defeat the sale of the
old Rockford, as made by the Seigmans.
The fact is that the Frankfort Committee
don't seem to have any further use for
Osterberg and have sold the road without
consulting him at all Osterberg sees his
occupation is gone aud he calls his dupes
around him to try and save him. 1t is of
q use. He is overheard, and saltpeter
won't save him. His organs here may
howl, and his Jumping Jacks may hop up
and down, bet the places that now know
