The Gsneseo House.

In the account of the recent FIRE at Gen
eseo, I'll, published in the Reporter of
Thursday, an unintentional injustice was
done Mr.. Abram Miller, owner Of the hotel
which was destroyed. The statement
that the house never paid and was heavily
mortgaged," was based upon an article
published in The Rock ISLAND ARGUS,
and which we supposed to be correct We
now learn that the hotel was entirely I'm
encountered and the proprietors free
from debt. Mr.. Miller has kept hotel in
Geneseo for nearly thirty years, and is
one of the most reputable and highly re-
spected citizens in the place. and we sin
cerely regret the injustice done him In
these columns We understand Mr.. Mil

Immediately, National Hotel Reporter

No injustice has been done Mr., Miller
by THE ARGUS. nor has this paper any
desire to misrepresent him or anybody
else; but not quite liking the Hotel Re
porter imputation of false news we wrote
to friend in Cambridge (the county seat
to examine the records and write US the
facts. The following is his answer:
| CAMBRIDGE Ill, May 9, 1877
j. B. Danforth, Jr., Esq, Rock Island, ILL.,:
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 18th
is duly at hand by to-day's mail
In reply / have to say that
have examined the records and
find only one mortgage or trust deed
against the Geneseo House property but
what is Cancelled or released, as follows
Abram Miller and wife to Ii. @. Wilson,
July 10th, 1872, ,000-recorded in book
lO4, Page 24S. Yours very truly,
This is what would be called heavily
mortgaged, for unless Wilson has some
insurance on the building the debt car
not be made out of the ground on which
the house stood. The National Hote
Reporter says: I'VE Lltl learn that the
iotel was entirely unincumbered and thu
J proprietors free from debt" A mortgage
of $4,000 will probably be considered boti
debt" and an ''incumbrance," there
fore it seems that the information, which
the Hotel Reporter says it has, is false
1t was THE ARGUS that was correct, ant
the Hotel Reporter that was incorrect,
3 There was no need of the toadyism o
the Hotel Reporter as to Mr. Miller beini
"a reputable and highly respected citi
zen" Nobody has said anything to tn
: contrary. We have known him for 2
. years, aud can testify to that fact. TIL
r Hotel Reporter will do better to rely O
all information it gets from THE ARGUS
and not peroced to apologize, at our eZ
t pense, again.

Sherman has been turning crippled
union soldiers out of the treasury depart
ment, and it Is in order for some of the
Republican papers, which grew so hot
over the changes made when the Demo
Gratis organized the house, to say what
shall be done with this Republican secre-
tary. About two years ago this was the
blacklist crime in the whole catalogue of
sins, but since Republican policy has
turned so much 1t may be that union

Sargent's term in the United States
senate does not expire until March 1876,
but if Pinney' charges are proven, Gov.
Irwin. the Democratic governor of Cali
fornia, will very likely have an opportun-
ity to put ex-senator Hager or some other
good Democrat in the place when congress
meets in October. 1t is quite possible
therefore that both branches of congress:
will be in Democratic hands before 1879.

Unlawful Shooting.

There is good deal of feeling among
all classes OF citizens IN regard to the out
rageous conduct of one of the Arsenal
guards in shooting at two men 10 a skiff
near the south shore Of Sylvan water, and
the men are advised to have the guard ar
rested and tried tor the offense. We are
not in the midst of war, or living in a
military camp, or under martini law, The
civil authority is yet supposed to be super
ior to the military. Neither an
army officer or an enlisted man has any
right to shoot at people, except in self de-
fence. If the men had violated any
proper rule which the war department
had right to make, the most that could
be done would be to arrest them and take
them before the commandant for lega
punishment This shooting bust
ness had better be stopped-and il
order that it may be we advise the meI
who we're thus outraged to send 10 writ
ten report of the affair to Gel. Flagler, tina
he may have the matter investigated. An,
| if necessary let the men ais
report the facts to the secre
tary of war, aud to the president
But this will not probably be necessary
There can be no doubt that COL Fiagle
will take the proper action in regard to tn
outrage committed by this enlisted man
if the facts are properly placed befor
him, in writing, by the men who wer
shot at
If another outrage of this sort occurs
it may be there will be some shootin
