Vie liave louinl our name in a paper which seems to form a more correct opinion of us than any other with which we are acquainted. It rivs: "Kfki slocum bisnick Davenport Demokrat hiski voltne schlamstag." That's our private opinion, tiactly. The troubled minds of Dubuquers, who from the decadence of their village, think the world is coming to au cud, has been quieted by a correspondent of the Timet, who assures them that it will last 10,000 years longer.

The Dcbcqvk Rioters. The case of the Dubuque rioters will probably be continued to the May term. The defense says they are ready for trial, now, under the new bill of indictment. It is thought, however, that on account of the inability to procure i ital witnesses, that the prosecution will mike a motion for its cnutiu-uiince. The new bill of indictment has beeu printed, and the prisoners counsel have been furnishvd with a copy.

The alleged rioters have improved in appearance very much since their incir-. cer.ition. Two or three of them are very rough looking characters, and would be takeu for "plug tiglies" in any crowd. But the sun burn and hard living which had covered most of them with an appearsnee tif roughness, has' worn away, and revealed anything but dangerous appearing men. The most intelligent and mild looking prisoners are th- against whom, at present, the burdeu of evidence lies.

They are uearly all, so the sheriifsays, tractable aud well behaved men, and some of them more than ordinarily intelligent. So says the Artjut. Envelopes in sizes to suit, in stock: and neatly printed, at lowest living prices at the Democrat Job Hoom. 4tl Main Street. Asthma.

Dillon. A large and highly appreciative audience gathered in the Commercial College Hall last evening to hear Judge Dillon's lecture on Aiitfrirtiu Lttie, nature anii resu lt. The Honorable Gentleman was introduced by Mr. Frank in introducing the eminent lawyer and Judge to a Davenport audience, who had probably known him much longer than he had, for, if not exactly born there, he was a Davenport boy, his education received there, Lis reputation laid there and his home made there and the city was proud acknowledge it, he felt like the countess Burleigh poem "burdened with an honor, unto which he was not born." He then referred, by request to the character, aim and ends of the institn-tion tinder whose auspices the lecture was delivered and concluded a short and smart introductory speeeh.ainidst much applause. The learned Judge delivered a highly interesting and instructive lecture; one which gave the audience a clear insight into the formation, progress and operation of our legal code.

The portions of his speech explaining the origin of the Common, or as it is called the "Unwritten Law," were particularly lucid, instructive and pleasing. The allusions to the moth-, er country fair, complimentary and correct. -The Jndge succeeded in divesting law of by interspersing anecdote, historical illustration, nnd happy simile, kept the audience fully interested, and at the same time taught them more of the constitutional history of our common eonntry than would be obtained by wearily dragging through the dry and ponderous tomes of ITallain or the Com- mentators. The Hon. gentleman's quota- Npiecteu, ana tne audience were evidently disappointed that the lecture was not of longer duration By this effort the speaker proved that no mistake had been made in selecting so clear headed a lawyer, accurate ballancer of facts and summer-up of evidence to the high position we are proud say a Davenport citizen holds.

H. PRlcK, 1 1 itH' It. uo.au jk, Executive Committee. Davenport, Dec. SO, 1369.

td We were told to-day, by a gentleman friend, one of the most touchingly sad in cidents of human trouble and trial that we have listened to these many months. Our friend, returning home on the Western train a few nights since, from a' business trip to the Missouri, for the want of some better occupation betook himself to study ing his fellow passengers. This recreation generally does not prove very profitable on a railroad train, novels on railway fiir tat ions to the contrary, notwithstanding, and the observer was about to give up the i lea of finding any romance, when the train stopped at a small town the other side of DesMoines, and a fresh invoice of passengers entered. Among others was a stout, farmer lookiug man of about 40. little girl of four years was clinging to his skirts, aud in each arm he carried a child, one two years old aud the other an infant.

Children at best, on a railway train are not apt to keep remarkably quiet, and these were no exception to the rule. The youngest was fretful and cried uiid wailed piteously. Our friend's humanity could not stand it, especially as the man seemed awkward iu his care of the charge and entirely uuu-ed to it. He seemed to be in great sorrow, and still tried to bear bravely up. So he stepped across the and tendered Kervicc9.

They nm, bv little they fell to talking, and Anally the follow ing sad story came to light: He had been married about live years ago, and moved to Iowa, and settled in au interior town. Three children were born, aud hard times, and cares came upon him and his. His wife, who had been his constaut friend and helper, gradually wore her life away in doing her share, and the fifth year saw that "Care and sorrow, and rblld blr'u pain, iiaii lelt their traces on heart and brain." and she slowly drooped and died. This occurred only a few days before. "Her last wish," said the poor fellow, as the tears stood in his eyes, "was to be buried in the village churchyard, at home, and although I am not able to do it hardly, yet her wishes must be fulfilled." What a picture The mother, cased in that small and narrow house, lying in the baggage car; the bereaved husband and their helpless children, making their way to the far Fast.

There, in one of those little hamlets nestled among the hills of New England she was to be laid away among dear and kindred dead. But the way was long and dreary for him, who toiled on alone and unaided, except by chance kindly bauds. The traveller turned away with heart and eyes full, nf-ter hearing his simply told story. How much in everyday life is there that calls for the pity nnd sympathy of all, when such a case as this is brought to light. Davenport and the Hrldgc.

The bridge tax raised and expended annually in the county of Scott, is about Of this amount about $13,000 is paid in the way of taxes by the city of Davenport. What does she get in return for it Let us see. During the past; three years the county has raised by taxation, and expended for bridge purposes, in round figures, the sum of 75,000. In round figures, also, Davenport hasraised of that amount, TIIfUTV-SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS. What amount of this sum has been expended in Davenport for bridge purposes? Only $4,100 Paid out, got back, 1,100 stands the shady side of the Ledger in three years: How is that for paying off city debts How is that in the way 6f justice Our country is rich the townships are all wealthy abundantly able with but few exceptional cases to build their own bridges, perfectly satisfied to do so we presume, and through a custom, it seems that the city of Davenport is carrying the great bulk of the load, aud getting nothing, next to nothing in return.

It is about time that the matter attended; Aid Bryant has done well to bring it to the attention of the city now let us have the matter arranged iri an equitable basis without unnecessary delay. Now reduce this matter to the actual figures, so that any one can look it over at leisure. The assessment of the county for the year 1869 was as follows Davenport city. Davenport township. sw.5'0 Rockingham 75.415 Uutlalo Butraio citv ai.son ill lie Grass" 438,4.10 Cleona 23.3iO Liberty Allen's Grove Hickory Grove WinBeld I i i BaUer 40.TO LeClalre city 140,70 LeClaira township ifST.MO Pleaoant Valley 27S.365 Sheridan 4SS.075 Lincoln 343.740 Princeton township 241,830 Princeton city 46,440 Total A levy of 3'mills on this total, gives over $27,000, of which Davenport City conies in for over $12,000, and as above stated, gets back about $1,400.

The condition of the other townships for regulating their bridge business at least for bearing something like a fair share of the expense, can also be judged by the figures i opposite their names. It is a matter that requires some sharp i attention, and now that it is under con- sideration, let it be brought, if possible, to some satisfactory determination. WATER WORKS. No public improvement has met with a more cordial response on the part of the people than the proposed water works. Had the movement been made in a public way that is to say, had it been proposed i by the city, to be built at the.

ekpense of the city, the feeling would have been different, the tax payers would have interposed serious objections, Inasmuch as the burden of debt weighs downjilready, very and a proposed addition of another load of three or four hundred thousand dollars wonld have met with a prompt negative. But when a company comes up, as in the present instance, and offers to carry the water straight by their doors without a cent of expense to them water that they can take and pay for or let alone and pay nothing, then there is no wonder that the universal voice is raised In favor of the enterprise. A large eliare of our population want water brought by means of pipes into their They are-willing to pay a reasonable water rate, yet while paying therefore do not wish to have their homes mortgaged with an immense debt in way of water bonds. The following is the ordinance ihe city authorities propose adopting to enable the Water Company to commence business THE DAVEKPORT WATER WORKS.
