TnE proposition to introduce the
Moffet bell punch into the Washington
saloons is strongly opposed for fear the
inesssant ringing would disturb the
transaction Of business in Congress.
But we contend the opposition is no,
well grounded. since II %isclear that when
the incessant ringing was going on Con.
gress would not be in session.

Rising City.

After a two weeks sojourn in the
newly-created city of Rising, feel
that | am able to say something of
its present and prospective future.
Nine weeks ago this place was born
and thrust upon the world as the
bantling of the Republican Valley
Railroad, and the three private in
dividuals whose farms comprise the
town site and to-day they sport a
hotel where a square meal can be
obtained, and a post Office with
boxes nicely arranged, three dry
goods and grocery stores i'm full
blast, three elevators completed and
taking in grain, one restaurant, two
stables nearly completed, some
twenty dwelling houses nearly COM
pleted, and population of $50
souls. There is one harness shop in
operation, one meat market in run
uinS OEuCT, OuC dIuS-stOlc Hdsltu-
ing to completion, and one saloon
in q fair way to being ready for
work. On the faces of all there is
an eager, hungry look, full of ex-
pectancy filled in with hurry and
business, induced no doubt by
wonder as to how the experiment
viii terminate when the place
reaches bed rock, or in other words
finds lis level. The situation is q
good one in some particulars, mas
much as it is nestled down in a little
valley with gentle slopes to the city
from every point Of the compass,
and really it is the opposite of Bos-
ton, as it is down hill to Rising
from any point you may mention.
One other feature | conceive TO be a
great mistake, the city is divided
by the railroad and already there Is

a strife between the south and north
side. The drawback OH situation
is the want of water; it is 70 or SO
feet to water, and as yet 1 think
there are but two wells in the place,
aside from the tank at the railroad,
and water for man or beast is scarce.
One lady told me she bad no wash
ing done since she reached the city.
Now, as cleanliness is next to godli-
ness, there can be but little of the
latter without more water or better
facilities for obtaining it than at
present exist.
There are rumors i'm the air aoout
things which will have a bearing on
the future growth of this place, one
is that the officials of the road think
of establishing round-house and
machine shops here; another is,
that Polk county will vote bonds to
aid in extending the road through
said county, each of which would
have an effect upon the future OF
this place.
The people who have commenced
at this place appear to be of the
solid sort, of that stripe known as
moral men who can dispense with
many of the foolish frivolities which
attack many places and which be-
come chronic in their nature and
pctrified nuisances in the character
of many towns, villages and cities.
There is talk of there being three
drug-stores, in the place. There is
no indication Of an insalubrious
CLINE about here, that there should
be so many drugs needed. l cannot
account for this number being need
ed, only on the supposition that
inasmuch as the four leading planets
will occupy such relation to the
earth for the next four years as to
make the atmosphere very un-
healthy for man and beast, yet there
are some, who think that these
drug-stores propose to deal largely
in cordials, soothing syrups, COW
herder's delight and fresh-laid milk.
l have heard in my sOjourn here
Of nearly every branch of industry
being introduced and established
that is common to a western town,
except bank and newspaper.
| have seen on the street the av-
erage "hoodlum" busily engaged in
burying a live kitten; Young Amer
lea was desirous of doing his part
in starting graveyard and impro-
vising the first funeral.
Of churches and schools there are
none as yet, but proper steps, |
hear, have been taken to secure
these necessary things.
Soon, Rising will have risen to
the altitude by nature assigned to
any inland town, taking its proper
place and f1attered, cajoled and pes
tered by the ordinary book agent,
lightning rod man, and insurance
agent, will quietly plod on its way,
and become great or otherwise, just
as the citizens make it. QUIZ.

The President in his message be-
gins by expressing thanks 'to the
Divine Being" for peace and pros
perity. The subjects recommended
to the consideration of congress are
NATIONAL SANITARY DEPARTMENT.
The facts of the yellow fever
scourge are very briefly summarized
and the statement made that there
were about 100000 cases, of which
about 10000 proved fatal. The fear
ful spread of the pestilence has
awakened general sentiment in
favor Of a national sanitary depart
ment.
The Presidents views on the
CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS AT THE
SOUTH.
are as modest, and as mildly eX-
pressed as the most calm and mod
crate Republican could wish, and,
being the most important subject
treated of, we give, at length, what
the president has to say:
The permanent pacification of the
country by the complete protection
of all citizens in every civil and po-
lilical right continues to be Of para
mount interest with the great body
of our people. Every step in this
direction is welcomed with public
approval, and every interruption of
steady and uniform progress to the
desired consummation awakens gen.
eral uneasiness and wide. spread
condemnation. The recent Congress
sional elections have furnished a
direct and Trustworthy test of the
advance thus far made in the prac-
tical establishment of the right of
suffrage, secured by the Constitution
to the liberated race in the Southern
States. All disturbing influences,
real or imaginary, had been remov-
ed from all of these States.
The three Constitutional amend
ments, which con nferred freedom and
equality of civil and political rights
upon the colored people Of the South
were adopted by the concurrent
action of the great body of good
citizens who maintained the auth or
ity Of the National Government and
the integrity and perpetuity of the
Union at such cost of treasure and
life, as a wise and necessary embod-
iment i'm the organic law of the Just
results of the war. The people of
the former slave holding States ac-
cepted these results, and gave, in
every practical form, assurances
that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments, and laws
passed in pursuance thereof, should,
in good faith, be enforced, rigidly
and impartiallv. in letter and spirit.
to the end that the humblest citizen,
without distinction of race or color,
should, under them, receive full and
equal protection in person and prop
erty and in political rights and priv
ileges. BY these Constitutional
appointments, the Southern section
of the Union obtained a large in
crease of political power in Congress
and in the Electoral College, and the
country justly expected that elec-
tions would proceed, as to the en-
franchised race, upon the same
circumstances of legal and Constitu-
tional freedom and protection which
obtained in all the other States of
the Union. The friends of law and
order looked forward 10 the con-
duct of these elections. as Offering TO
the general judgment of the country
an important opportunity to meas
ure the degree in which the right of

at the Fame hose Engine House, when 1t
was discovered that the smoke was from

fire was discovered, was occupied by 8.

confined only to the first floor, burning a

had on stream, which would have been
sufficient to have been extlnguished tne

rived on the ground In short time ana
