They Would not Consent.

There lives in Milan a man uamed
SchOOley who has a manageable daughter
-sho is about II years old, and already
has an ardent admirer in a sturdy youag
fellow named Goble, living near Geneseo,
Henry county. The parents of the girl
objected to their daughter receiving visits
from Goble, and her father forbid him the
house. On Tuesday young Goble came
to Rock Island with the girl and intended
to get married, but was unable to procure
license without the consent of the girls
parents. This was a difficult thing to
obtain, yet Gotle, nothing daunted, started
for Milan to secure the much desired
signature of Mr. and Mrs Schooley. He
went to the house and tried TO persuade
Mrs Schooloy that it was the right thing
to do to give her consent, but that lady
refused, and further warned him that MIR,
SchOoley would soon arrive and that il
would not be healthy for Goble if the two
met. Goble, however, declared his inten-
ton to stick it out, and he did. The two
met, there was some hard words exchang-
ed and knock down followed, with GobIe
in possession of the field, but minus the
parents consent to the marriage, and so
Goble had to give up his hymenial aspira-
tons, temporarily, at least, until some
more convenient season.

a Free Fight,

A free fight occurred last evening on
the levee at the foot of 10th street, be-
tween VIM. jones aud Henry Hart, two
negroes, and Jack Casson, George Cock
rell and James Cockrell, and two others
who escaped Officer Hull, hauled in
James Cockrell; Officer German. collared
the two negroes, assisted by John O'Neil
and Adam Wlegand, and Officer Akin
son, after n tough tussle captured and
took to the Armory, Jack Casson and
George COckrell o-day before Justice
HAYES, James CockrelI was discharged
the evidence not being sufficient to i'm
plicate him as participant VIM. Jones
was fined S. and costs for firing pistol in
the city limits but the fuc was RENTED.
The others, j lack Casson and Geo, Cockrell,
we're charged with riot and held in $500
bonds to the next term of the circuit court.
Officer Atkinson had a hard tussle with
these two men, but held on to them and
jailed them. The promptness of the police
in arresting the offenders is worthy OF
notice, as it shows the admirable eff
fciency OF the force. The row caused con-
siderable excitement at the time and at
tracted large crowd near the scene of the
distur bance.

a Tramp Bounced.

A tramp, under the influence of liquor,
went into the Western Union telegraph
Office last night and made nuisance Of
himself, cursing the operator, Tom Clin-
ton, until that gentleman helped him down
stairs on the toe of his boot. Officer Cor
man afterwards picked the fellow up and
he was put 10 the cooler until this morn
ing, when. before Justice HAYES, he was
fined SIS and costs and having no money
went to Jail for nine days. He professed
to want a money order when he went to
the telegraph Office and Clint, who is very
obliging, wasted half hour time trying
to find unknown towns for him. This,
however, was evidently a ruse to draw
Clint's attention, the evident purpose being
robbery, if opportunity offered. He is a
hard looking citizen.

Pledged to Davenport,

Our Washington CORRESPONDENT. IN !
letter WHICH was published Yesterday. gave
the particulars Of proposition made by
the Democrats IN Congress to the Republi-
cans who clamored for the retention of the
law relating to Supervisors Of elections.
The Democrats said to the Republicans.
j We are perfectly willing to submit to the
present obnoxious law until the next Con-
gress, provided We can be assured that
the law will not re used in the interests of
a party. as it was in New York City in
1878, Fill the Office of Chief Supervisor
by as out-and-out Republican as you can
fnd-only fill it by man whose character
IS such that We will have the assurance
that he will be fair.
But this magnauImous offer was spurn~
ed, anu by Republicans who had the brazen
Impudence to pretend that all they wanted
was an honest electionl" Our CORES
pondent, shortly after the rejection of
this fair and patriotic proposal, made a
personal canvass of the House to discover,
| If possible, whether any one Of these
conservatives or stalwarts would agree to
the removal of the infamous Davenport
and the substitution in his place OF an

over one hundred Republican members
were personally interviewed, and, strange
to say. not one Of them would agree to any
change. These facts tell their own story,

pretense of the Republicans that all they
want is free election. A party which

act Of voting into cages like burglars and
highwaymen, stands convicted before the
world Of the worst of crimes against the
ballot box. Davenport is part of the nee.
essary election machinery of the Republi
can party, and to dismiss him would in
sure it's defeat from the start. The Re,
publicans cherish Davenport az the apple
