For HAYES.

Scott coun ty, or large portion of it
at least, seems to be going for Hayes as
the democratic congressional nominee to
succeed Congressman J. Ii. Murphy. At
the city primaries in Davenport last even
ing, five out of the six wards instructed
for Hayes, and the townships so far heard
from are for him. Judge Walter /.
Hayes, lives in Clinton. He is Judge of
the District court and has been for MANY
years, though yet young man. He is
tired OF the bench, however, and for sew
eral weeks has been undermining Muir,
phys congressional fence posts. Murphy
has held the seat from Second Iowa
district two terms, and he has many
friends who would like to see him stay
another two years, Hayes. though, will
naturally carry Clinton and jackson
counties, and with Muscatne and Scott
counties will probably be the democrat
&c nominee, which gives assurance of lee
ton over there now.

The record of the rafting work at the
Beef 5 Tough companys works III to Sat-
urday last shows that 290,000,O0O feet
have been RATED and sent to various
mills along the Mississippi from the
mouth of The Chippewa as far down as
st. Louis The recent splash of rise
on the upper Mississippi has exhausted
itself. The water is getting down very
low, rafting is becoming both tedious
and expensive, and when raft starts
out there is not the slightest certainty
when it will reach its destination. InI
some instances the heavier raft boats are
already going to the bank.
The steamer Josephine, of the Diamond
10 fleet, carries a new device for raising
and lowering her gang plank, and is the
only steamer on the upper river that
does. The upright mast that carries the
boom from which the plank is suspended
is hollow iron column. A heavy
weight is suspended inside the mast by a
cable connecting it. over couple of pull
leys, with the plank, whose weight it
quite counterbalances. This device does
completely away with the noisy, trouble
some steam "nigger," which is used on
all other boats, as by means of the
weight in the hollow mast the action of
gravity upon the plank seems to be quite
annihilated, and two good sized roust.
abouts can handle the huge gang-way
with as much ease as though it's weight
were nothing at all.
