A FUNNY INCIDENT.

At the late republican county conven-
ton funny, and at the same time dema-
gogical, incident occurred, which has not
yet appeared in print. The chief actors in
the political drama were Mr.. j. III. Christy,
the chairman of that convention, and the
ex-purser, who figures as the editor of the
weekly HgpOcr6te and Monopolist.
1t will be remembered that resolution
was introduced, giving the sentiment of
the meeting as in favor of the Hennepin
canal bin, and requesting the Illinois mem
bers of congress to do all In their power to
have the bill passed at the present session
of the national congress.
The resolution was carried unani.
mously, as the chairman invited all attend
ants at the meeting, whether delegates OF
visitors, to vote on the adoption of til,
resolution.
After declaring the resolution passed
Mr.. Christy left the chair and had a brie
consultation with the newspaper men VIII,
were engaged in reporting the meeting.
The ex-purser and present and past hy
Pocrite and demagogue managed to have
lew words with Mr.. Christy, and whine

TOLL BRIDGE.

Private information from Washington is
to the effect that Secretary of War Lincoln
has recommended to congress the passage
of the Kellogg bill, making the govern
ment bridge between this city and Daven-
port ton affair.
1t viii be remembered that some time
ago such bill was introduced into the
United States senate by Kellogg, of
Louisiana It was generally supposed
that it was the result of the Rock Island
ferry company's influence that secured the
introduction of such bill.
Kellogg, however, stated that he knew
nothing about it, and claimed that it must
have been mixed up in his papers by his
private secretary, as he (Kellogg) knew
nothing about it. 1t proved to be more
babies in Buttercup's song of Pinafore.
The bill was evidently concocted by
some one, as such articles do net grow Oh
their own sweet will and accord.
The mystery is still unsolved, and the
father of that bull remains an unknown
quantity. The secretary of war, however,
has taken cognizance of its existence, and
will make a favorable report upon the
same.
The people of Rock Island and Daven-
port have remained quiet, and allowed the
same to go by default.
The question naturally arises, "What
are they going to do about it?" as, if
something is not done at once to counter
act the influence already at work in its ia
vor, the bill will become a law, and the
good people of this vicinity will have a
daily reminder of the blessings of pro-
tective tariff right at their doors.
