Editor FSovsdiaa: have noticed with some
attention - discussion going on regarding .
Constitutional Convention. Unjust b confessed
that the amount Of claptrAp connected with Il
Is simply astonishing Whatever the evils com
planned Of or the changes required they at once
assume that It b necessary for Convention-
when In point Of fact, Two thirds OF the evils
charged are under legislative control. Let M
take - fair sample the ffteen reasons assigned
BY the Alachua AdceoaA, and extensively copied
BY papers advocating the same, Ex calling .

the arguments used

THE VOTE.

There was a difference in the vote last
night to adopt the majority report and to
substitute the minority one; and it was ne
cessary that there should be. The majority
report was, as has been said before, moth
ing and its adoption meant nothing. it was
simply the reciting by the Council of a
statement of facts that were in the main
correct and bore in the same manner upon
the case. The reception of that report
committed the Council to no stated
action and in consequence certain mem
bers voted for it, that afterwards when the
question of the dismissal of Warren comes
directly before them; veted to adopt the
report. 1t was courtesy to the
COMMITTEES that they felt bound to extend
and right they were in doing it. Their vote
on that resolution put nothing in their
way for voting for Warren's dismissal af-
terwards; there was nothing Inconsistent
between two votes; it was simply choice
between two legitimate means of accom-
plishing the same end.

A French paper mentions as an extraor-
dinary instance of hallucination that one
of the members of the Executive Council
of the Bank of Brussels was many years
ago seized with the conviction that his
legs were of glass. and positively refused
to move. A financial crisis came, involv-
ing to some extent the Bank. Mr.. B. got
up and went to Brussels, where by his
energy and skill he largely assisted in get.
ting matters straight. At the end OF
month he returned home, remarked how
marvellous it was that he had not smashed
even one of his legs, and taking to his bed
once more never again left it.

A CONSPIRACY.

The action of Mayor Carse last night,
when the vote on the dismissal of Warren
had been taken, was pitiful. 1t was that
of spoiled child, poor, petulant infant
that had been denied doll and therefore
cried. A girl who had been forbidden a
dance, little child that had asked twice
for cake and been refused, would have
talked the way he did. He took the mo-
tion for the dismissal of Warren as per-
sonal affair and thus spoke of it. He said
other money Of the city had been misused
will Mr.. Carse tell us what money! He
treated the matter as If it was of the high
est personal Importance to him-wiil Mr..
Carse tell US why 1t should be. Warren
was put on trial; charges were made
against him and evidence was introduced
to substantiate them; no offenses were
charged against any one else; no one else
was implicated. But now comes Mr.. Carse
and makes personal matter of all this;
Warren's fight is his fight, and when it
comes to vote and Warren is censured,
be cries out as If he had been hurt. It is
surely strange showing
he says it was q conspiracy; between
whomf Certainly the democrats who vot-
ed for it could not be accused of that, did
ae mean that the republicans and nation
bis had eonspiredf perhaps; but then he
could not be very much in the confidence
d his own party. The remarks he made
we're certainly i'll considered: more than
hat they were foolish and if, as he says,
ae is cognizant of any thing in the city
government that is wrong or criminal, It il
The Rock Island Argus., 1882-03-10

his duty to make it known. When he
spoke he acted as If be was acting under q
disappointment and was anxious to relieve
his, feelings; it was the outcry OF person
who had been hurt and must speak OF it,;
but his meaning was not fully apparent.
It seemed as if the recommendation to re-
move Warren was an affair that touched
himself, why it should it is difficult to di-
vine. But the inqu1y still remains, and
viii until he has spoken, what was the inn
proper use of money to which he referred?

WON'T REMOVE Elm.

Some friends of Mayor Carse have been
stating that in spite of the direct action Of
the council last night that he would not re-
move Warren. Such talk is not only
foolish but extremely detrimental to the
best interests of Mr. Carse. He would
thus indorse a man whom the people,
through their representatives had declared
unfit, and must shoulder himself all the
blame that belongs to Warren.

THE RESULT.

The action of the council last night was
to have been expected and took none by
surprise. 1t was simply the verdict of
the people that no one must hold office in
Rock Island who was not ft man for
the place. 1t was an expression of the
popular idea that, for some reason or 9TH
er, a man had been appointed whom we
did not want

CONGRESSIONAL
SENATE.

SENATE.
Washington, March 1.-The senate
at 2:45 resumed consideration of the
Chinese bill.
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, took the
floor, with a set speech in opposition to
its passage. His first proposition was
that our people a hundred years ago
founded this nation upon the moral
law affirming that all men equally de-
rived from their creator the right to
the pursuit of happiness, and that
equality, in that light, is the fundamen-
tai rule of divine justice in its applica-
ton to mankind.
He held forth how the nation had
grown, and said the existence of the
principle Just stated had attracted i'm
migration from foreign countries to our
shores, rather than to South Amer
lea or Mexico. He said every new state
affirmed it in its constitution, and that
California herself, in her original con-
stitution, declared that it was meant
to include the right of expatriation.
This was declared in '6S, by act of con-
gress, and on the persistent effort of a
California senator, Of Irish birth, it
was urged upon the country that the
right of expatriation was indispensable
to the enjoyment of life and the pur-
suit of happiness. The same doctrine
vas solemnly reiterated in the Burlin-
game treaty. Mr.. Webster had de-
clared that the equality of rights, es-
pecially those of laborers, was the prin-
ciple benefit which America had con-
ferred on mankind.
Kellogg introduced a resolution that
the committee on education and labor
be instructed to report a bill making
an appropriation which when combined
with the revenues derived from local
taxation and income from local funds,
would be sufficient to give all children,
of whatever race or color, in all the
states and territories, an opportunity to
receive a good common school educa-
tion.

otherwise damaged property. This af-
ternoon the number had increased to
500, and they paraded the streets with a
Bohemian band of music and a banner
with ''$1.75 per day" painted on it.
They forcibly compelled a large gang of
men who were at work on the city
sewerage system at $3.50 per day to
quit, and they cruelty pounded three or
four who refused to do so. They also
~stopped.a gang of graders on st. Mary's

excitement. The mayor commanded
the mob to dispense, which they slowly
did. Tomorrow morning the sewer
men will resume work and Mayor Boyd
will protect them with a large force of
special police or militia if necessary and
will also protect all who wish to work
for Stephenson, and threatens to make

New York, Feb. 28.-The special
election to fill the vacancy caused by
Senator Wagner's death, occurred to-
day and Unexpectedly resulted in the
choice of Bancus democrat, who beat
Stanford by a thousand majority.
The district embraces four counties,
three Of which are usually republican,
one always heavily so, and one usually
democratic.
Oddly enough all the republican coun-
ties to-day went democratic and the
democratic county went republican.
There was also another element in con-
test. Saratoga, the most populous and
heaviest republican county, has been
dissatisfied because the senator has 80
long been selected from other parts of
the district. To-day, therefore, her
usually splendid republican majority of
$500 is changed to democratic ma
jority Of 655, and Mr.. Stanford is de-
feated.

Outlaws Escapade.

Chicago, March Polk, Wells and
Bill Norris, the Iowa outlaws, who
passed through here last Sunday en-
route from Randolph, Wis.,, to River
ton, Iowa, in charge of Sheriffs Chand-
Ter and Wilson attempted to escape
from the officers while on the train.
The officers were asleep, but the love
ments of the prisoners woke them and
they at once opened fire, shooting Wells
six times and Norris five. The men
were taken from the train at Sidney,
Iowa, but there is little chance for
their recovery, both men being literally
riddled with bullets. These despera-
does took part in the Manhattan, KS,
Riverton and Sidney, Iowa, bank rob-
berries, the Winston, Mo-, train rob-
berry and numerous smaller robberies, as
we'll as several murders in Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Kansas.
