Every business man in the country ought to understand that this movement is simply to unsettle values, break up business and destroy the promise of regular and legitimate commerce. This is what is meant by the Poster resolution; it simply works mistakes, and cannot, by any p«*ssi bil- ity,-produce any good. As for myself, although opposed io Mr. flayW 'policy, I^Y-|U*sustnin'h!m In his title against the attacks of this infamous te solu­ tion.'* Twenty years ago, at Wood­ stock. Illinois, we made our first e&*ay in tiie newspaper line. Our first legal advertisement was a case in the Circuit Court, Disbrow vs. Dlsbrow. There were a number of parties to the suit, all in the family, who reside in the town of Alden, and their legal difficul­ ties had then been before the courts for nearly seven years. From that time to this, the docket of the Circuit Court of that county has always carried the names of this litigieusly inclined family. Lawyers, constables, sheriff's and clerks have waxed fat from the fees, and the parties have grown old and gra}', but still the fight goes on, and the present week some sixty of their neighbors are summoned as wit­ nesses to testify in the case set for trial in the Court on Thursday. Prop- ably the entire population ef the town will be summoned upon these suits at different periods of their lives. Of course the parties have been gratuit­ ously advised that such prolonged liti­ gation was ruinous, and that they were biting their own noses off, but it makes no difference. This case is similar to that of the man who was told he was driving his fine pair of horses te death t\ on a hot dusty day, who replied: "I dou't care a vent about the horses, if I can only make that blamed yellow dog, that is following me, loll his tongue.'*-- jRocjtford Gazette. u usiness. aine WASHINGTON COIUIK&PONDKXCK.

Cary, Rose, Ifontague, Messrs Trapolli, Carl, Gotts- talk, Conly and Bauli, all such fine ngers. The eveniugs were warm but te audiences were large and appre- atlve notwithstanding. A pretty itory Is told of the circumstances that |pd to Miss Kellogg's engaging Miss Montague for her troupe, which ec- Cjnrod while the latter artist was sing­ ing in Chicago. A young lady of wealthy family there was ambitious to appear in opera and would be con­ tent with nothing less than the rote of Norma. Her father iiired the Opera House and engaged a company. Miss Montague taking the second part while the young aspirant attempted te inake her debut as Norma, ft was soon apparent that she was a failure and the prompter signaled Miss Mon­ tague to take the part from her, which she did so graceAilly and with io nice a tact that the play went on uninter­ ruptedly aud the audience was uone the wiser. Miss Kellogg who wife present, of course understood it all. and, after the play, complimented the lady and engaged her as one of the Kellogg troupe. We had a day or two*of pretty warm weather last week; but on the whole, our Spring has been unusually delight­ ful. Not much rain, and a continua­ tion of fair pweet days. . In looking over the biographical of the lives of IT. S. Senators, urprislng to note the large nutn- :ted to the Senate j.. while serving as Governors of their own 1 u 1 i0,u 11 States; many times that number who sat in the Gubernatorial chair prior to occupying seats in the Senate Cham­ ber, and three who resigned their seats iu the Senate to serve their own States as Governors. The last were Isaac Hill, of N. II., Hannibal Hamlin, of Me., and Andrew Johnson, military Governor of Teanesse by appointmeut near the close of the war. It appears that the old veteran Gen. Shields who failed of the House Door­ keeper's position, is in a fairway of receiving the appoiutment proposed for him by friends in the list ef re. tired officers, aud so be pensioned oft tor life. Weil the man undeniably spent hie best years In his country's jserrlce and is now too old to build up a business or profession. Atnoug those who are In favor of Genl. Shield's cause, are Senators Blaine, Conover, Dorsey, Burnslde, Oglesby and Bruce Generals Butler aud Logan have work­ ed for him also. In reference to the Presidential title the opinion of one the most eminent lawers in the House of Representa; tives is in substance as follows. The Constitution necessitates that a Presi­ dent must take the oath of office on the 4th of March following his election, which Mr. Tilden failed to do and therefore could not be declared Presi­ dent should the ousting of Mr. Hayes be accomplished. Tilden's friends understood this long ago and wanted him to to go through the forms of tak­ ing the oath on the day Hayes did.-- This Tildeu intended doing in a pub­ lic mauner, abandoning the design only when it became certain that Genl Grant had determined upon arresting aud throwing him into Fortress Mon­ roe on a charge of treason and sedition should he make his appearauce at that time for the puipose mentioned, OLIVE. from Our'Specia! Traveling Correspondent. BKYOND THE Migmssis'Pf. t Dcnir<jvn, Iowa, May 16,1878, FRIEND VAN:--We made a through journey from Michigan, only stopping over night at Chicago, and, taking no notes*, as w^. were anxious to qross the , "Father of Waters" as soon as possible. The prairies of northern Illinois gave way to rolling and hilly land as we struck a river of the Mississippi Valley, and we soon passed throngh- Qtoleua, a •mall city of some eight or Wire thous­ and inhabitants, anil worthy of notice only on account of "that st^ire brick house upon the left hand side of tlie south road; that one almost hid by trees; that's where Gen. Grant used to Jive.** The lady who kindly volun­ teered this information, al*o told us that the stream running through the town bore the vtry suggestive and ugly natue of Fever River. Dubuque is situated on the west bank of the Mississippi River, ou a plateau which the local directory says is twen­ ty ffeet above high water mark, but we fshould judge from the appearauce of the levees, or embankments, aud the staguant pools back of the levees, that it feii some short of this. Tlie city covers a couple of miles of the bauk, and here and there stretches back through ravines and widens out behiud the bluffs, while every new and theu a dwelling is perched squarely on the tops of the rocks or hangs on te a ter­ race on the Side of the hills. The'1 plateau is scarcely a half mile in width at the upper end of town, and tapers down to the lower end until a bend of tlie river sweeps against the face ef the rocky hill, making it necessary to grade a roadway down through iu or­ der to get out of tewu to the south*--- Sewers are unknown. Gutters throngh the Btreets, open ditches dowu tlie hill, and big stone-walied, plank-covered ditches in three or four places lead the refuse to the river. The great uumber of two inch holes which ate through the sidewalk planks aroused our curi­ osity, but w« found an easy explana­ tion when we saw a lumber raft with its Innumerable wooden pins driveu through the planks to tie the in to­ gether. Sunday, we wandered down ou the levee, and watched the boats as they passed up and dowu, and leaded tSTA young l^dy says there is no woman living who could interest her with a lecture on "kisses." Shesavs that she can get more satisfaction from the lips of a young man on n moonlight night than a woman could tell in a thousand years. That young lady is posted. Gentlemen of the jury," said a Tuscarora lawyer, "what kind of swear* iug has been done in this case? Here we have a physician, a man whe, from his high and noble calling, should be regarded as one who would scorn to stain his soul with perjury, or he guilty of giving utterance to an untruth. But what did he testify, gentlemen ? I put the question to him plainly, as you all heard, Where was this man stabbed? And what was his reply? Unblushingly, his features as coel and placid as though cut from marble, he replied that the indn was stabbed about an inch aud a half above the uiubilicu.% and vet we h;tve proved }»y thr was America hoistiug Po»t. ubllicu.% ami vet we n tve proven uy ree uuimpeaohable witnesses that he is stabbed just below the Yo^uug inerica hoistiug works."--JEUco^Nev.) aud a hall away, was the Clinton. The whistle signalled "open bridge,** and tlie boat passed through, aud com­ menced the usual backing arouud, aud nosing up stream in the awkward, un­ certain style of all liver boats as they make landings. Coal was taken ou the Illinois side ol' the river, aud the boat swung around making a curve down1 stream, to again uose up, and come along side ot the wharf boat at Dubu­ que. We have not yet learued all the fine shades of meautng attached to the word levee, but hope to master It in good time, aud in the meanwhile will be obliged to write according to the best-ofmir knowledge and belief. The levee--when we say levee now, we mean the iev«e for boat landings,--the levee, at this point Is about twenty rods long, and a couple of hundred feet In width from the water's edge to the curbstone of the levee stores aud sa- loons. and Is nothing more nor less than the sloping bauk of the river, paved with broken rocks Iroiu the bluff's with occasional large rocks planted in the earth to which the wharf boats are an­ chored by large cables and iron rings. The wharf boats, two in number, are good sized wooden warehouses set ou scows, the euds of whivh are enough longer than the houses, to allow room for strong posts aud cleats, around which tlie anchoring chains are fas­ tened. The stream side of the scows project about three feet out, and on aud down through this projection, are short and stout posts, to prevent the guards of the steamers *from rubbing against'the sides of the houses. Two bridges thirty leet long connect the wharf boat» with the levee, aud In this way the warehouses are always level with the boats, rising and falliug with the stream, aud sometimes requiring that the cables be changed from the lower rings, where they are now, to a different set farther up. Below the wharf boats is a somewhat similar boat for the ferry between Dubuque and Dunleith,and it is here that the dirty little ferry boat, Key City, makes her laudings. It was alongside the lower wharf boat that the Cliuton drew up, and the "roosters" were soon busy.-- Roosters are the men employed on the steamers to do the loading and unload­ ing, wooding and coaling up, &c„ aud are generally the lowest grade recog­ nized as men; most ot theiu negroes, short, flat-footed, big-lipped, dirty, greasy negroes, and such clothe«.. The loading from the wharf boat was soou done, and they moved up above and made a shore landiug directly on the levee, aud loaded some four hundred sacks of oats £om cue of the ware- hmiffps rm off the street. A c&uple •mall timbers with cross planks, form­ ing a large gang plank thirty feet longr smd six wide. Is carried on Cher forward dteck of river steamer*, and by means' o.'a swinging boop aud tackle antf falls, is lowered ak either side to ther shore, thus enabling the boats to maker- landings iu shallow wager. This is the "shorin? plank.^antf ft was across this that the mate drove the roosters back and forth at their work like so many cattle. The mate attends to the load­ ing, seeing that one side of the boa& receives as much weight as the otherT and that every tiring Is stowed proper­ ly. the roosters not being allowed ta exercise tfie lfttle ("if any) Wrains they do possess. Air the swearing ls: done (Tn the highest style ef the art> by the mate, and an occasional kick or cuff accelerates the worta materially.-- According to well posted local author-- 1 ties, the time was, ancT we should say now is, when a mate would shoot a rooster for foo much **sass,T' The ClintoM had but finished Iter loading when eur attention* was attracted by by two raft boats coming throngh the brfdge. each one pushing its logs ahead' the-steering being done by the boats swinging to one stdfe Or the other, and pushing across the stream. The logs are fastened together by poles or sap-- lings, two holes being bored in the log; about three inches apart, and a strip of' wood like a flour barrel hoop fastened over the pole and'In the holes by pins wedfging ir in tightly: HeavJ timbers are pinned across the bacS end of, and along tlie ei<fc,to stiffen the raft for tlie boat to push against, and in this- way alt the logs go down the Mississip*- pi. ICONUCUASS, , lasfraoftbaa to a JurytT IWL-V -vbiSl Speaking of courts reminds ns , of m instructions said to have been given by a Judge to a jury !»•--well we won't say In what State. It runs in this way:: "If the jury believe, from the evi­ dence, that the plaintiff and the de­ fendant v^ere partners tn a grocery ar.d that the plaintiff , bought out the defendant and |;ave his note for the* interest, and tl^e defendant paifil for the note by delivering to the plaintiff a cow, which he warranted not breachy aud the warranty was broken by rea­ son of thn-hprachfuess of the eow, and .... ^ the defendaut refused to receive her, and the plaintiff took her home again, aud put t heavy yoke or poke upon her to prevent her from jumping the fence* and the cow in attempting to jump tho fence, by reason ef the j oke or poke* broke her neck and died, and If the jury further believe that the defend* ant's interest in tiie grocery was not worth anything, the plaintiff's ne.o was worthless, and the eow good for nothing, cither for milk or beef, or for 'green hide,' then the jury must find out for themselves how they will de­ cide the case--for the court, if she un­ derstands herself, and she thinks she do, don't know how atieh a should be decided. M 8®f"The Democrats are badly "tore up In their iniuds" about this resolution or Chirkson Potter's, for an investiga­ tion into the Presidential election In two of the Southern states. They ilud they are held te account by the busi­ ness men of the country for the Injury to business that must result from tho general impressiou that they are to re­ open tlie Presidential election and try to revolutionize the Administration.-- Then tliey are understood to be trying to break up the settlement of that ques­ tion which was made by the Electoral Commission--a decision that all par* ties stand pledged to respect. That they cannot accomplish if, is easily de­ monstrated. They will find that as Alexander Stephens asserted, the title of President Hayes is stronger aud less assailable than that of auy other Pres­ ident ; but in making the effort they cannot rid themselves of the charge of acting iu bad faith and of being reck­ less disturbers of the peace. The wiser heads among the Democracy ar»v of course, opposed to the whole trans­ action. ' i . h i ; .
