OUR friend Lusk, in the last issue of the
State Gazette observes:
One of the most humorous and satircal pieces of
composition we have read in many a day appeared
In THE CAIRO BrILETiS of last Wednesday, under
the heading THE Blighting Influence of Radical.
ism one of the most amusing sentences In II is
this: with the increase OF Democratic votes in.
tcgence and enterprise increase. and with the in
crease OF intelligence and enterprise there invariably
comes an increase in Democracy" Now what has
induced The BULLETIN to inhict this keen bit of ga.
tire on the political party of which II processes TO
be an organ II than we can guess, but the joke
is just as good Us though We knew the motive which
prompted H. We commend the entire article 10 the
attention OF the Louisville COuricrJourna, with the
suggestion that instead OF railing against the ignor
ance and lawlcssness ofKentucky, the banner Dem.
ocratic state OF the Union II might do more effective
work by hurting the sharp shafts Of ridiculc, after
the manner Of THE BULLETIN.
The vision of our contemporary is imper-
vious TO the rays of light. Its opaQueness
is the result of its chronic Radicalism.
Like the Rev Jasper's world, il stands still,
while everything about it moves. In
saying that with the increase
of Democratic votes in Southern Illinois in
tclligence and enterprise increase" we Ut.
tered truism which has become proven
bal in these parts, and which even the NEST
unblushing and reckless Radical hercabouts
will not have the etfrontery to call in ques-
ton. We were never more serious in our
life that when We penned the fact referred
to. The moment that Democratic papers,
that telegraph, railroads and schools in
wade the unlettered strongholds of Radical
ism, an increase of Democratic votes, and
consequently an increase of enterprise and
intelligence, follow just as naturally
as an office.seeker Of the political persua-
sion of our contemporary follows the pub
lie teat or commits any other act that would
mantle the checks Of Democrat with
shame. We have only to point to the forlorn
condition Of such counties as Pope and
Massac 10 vindicate the justice and truth of
what We said, and we should despair of the
almost hopeless state of our neighbors if We
did not find consolation In that spread Of
Democratic faith and principles. which
no ignorance, however rock.ribbed and
rooted. can much longer withstand

Davenport Election.

The city election in Davenport, on Satur-
day, resulted in the election of three Ger
man alderme2, one republican and two
democrats, and republican mayor, with
some doubt as to the mayor. The returns
first showed that the democratic candidate
for mayor was elected by Ga. The returns
from the Third Ward were then opened,
after once being sealed up, and an error
ID discovered which gave the republican
candidate Is majority, very handy way
of obtaining maiorities. Most four readers
will remember that precedent for electing
men in this way has been established fol
some time in Louisiana.

The most precious of Gifts.

Health is undeniably a more precious
gift than riches, honor or power. Who
would exchange it for these, the chief OBJ
jects of human ambition7 It is obviously
the part of wisdom to employ means for
the preservation of health and the pro-
longation of life which time and experience
have proved to be reliable. Many of the
dangers by which health is threatened may
be nullifed by the use of that most irresis
tible of correctives and tonics, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. which, by increasing vi,
tai power and rendering the phyical func
tons regular and active, keeps the system
in good working order and protects it
against disease. For constipation, dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, nervousness, kid
ney and rheumatic ailments, 1t is invalu-
able, and it affords sure defence against
material fevers. besides removing every
trace of such disease from the system.
Half a wineglassful taken before meals
improves the appetite and insures com.
plete digestion and assimilation.

MOLINE, Ills March 6.
TIE the Editor of the Argus:
/ noticed in this mornings Union that a
correspondent accused me of giving a
miserable and partly false translation of
the resignation published in THE ARGUS
last Thursday. lam willing, if necessary,
to submit copy of the original with
translated copy,to competent and impartial
judges for inspection. and | have no doubt,
but that would have the pleasure of
showing to the public that 1.-THE translation
as near as possible is correct. He also
gives vent to his feelings by saying that
the petition as published, is perfect
shame, and reflects little credit ON the
paper that published it, and still less on
the correspondent and ignorant or
malicious translator A man or a paper
that will uphold and publish the truth,
does in mine and every honest persons
opinion deserve credit; but it is well
known fact that truth is powerful pill to
take, and l am not surprised at the gripping
II produces on certain individuals. HI.

The u. 8. Mint.

Anything concerning the question Is, as
matter of course, interesting to our
citizens; and, COR this reason, we publish
the following letter. We were OF the
opinion at the time that the movement Oh
our people to secure the location OF the
proposed Mint was rather late, and to
secure the cooperation and assistance OF
the Hon. John B. Hawley, who PROBABLY
has more influence at Washington than
any other citizen of this district, we wrote
to him stating the action our citizens were
taking and asked him to watch the action
on this subject and represent the wishes of
this section to Secy. Sherman.
The following is his reply which may
possibly be of use to those urging the
advantages of this locality:
TREASURE DEPARTMENT.,
April 9th, 1878.
Mr., j. S. Drake, Rock Island, Ills;
DEAR SIR; / have yours of the lst inst,
in relation to the establishment on the
island of Rock Island of q. s. mint.
You seem to be of the impression that
the power to establish an additional mint
| is lodged 10 the Secretary of the Treasury,
and you speak of petitions being IN eircu-
ton addressed to him asking that mint
may be located on Rock Island. The
Secretary has no power at all over the
subject. If a new mint is to be constructed
or put in operation it must be by virtue OF
an act of Congress, as Congress alone has
power oyer the subject The claims Of
different sections of the country have been
presented to Congress. l am clearly oil
the opinion that there is no locality offer
ing so many advantages for the cheap con
struction aud operation of a mint as the
island of Rock Island, and have been sur
prised that active measures have not beer
taken in that direction weeks ago by the
,, citizens of Rock Island, Davenport and
Moline. | will say, however, that do no
regard it at all certain that another min
will be established. but it seems to be thu
general opinion that an additional Que vii
!, be established at an early day.
l will cheerfully render any assistanc
) in my power toward the accomplishment
ofthe result desired.
Respectfully yours.
