GOOD AS EVER.—We have heard
of several instances lately where persons
have hrokan the points from their gold pens
rendering them valueless, but on applying
to John Scott have had them re-pointed and
made as good as new. This is an object,
gentlemen. lie also makes splendid 1' lir
Jewelry. Those wishing to preserve die
hair of friends in an elegant manner should
apply to Scott and have it braided and
beautifully mounted. His place of business

hum aud Thomas Jor dan, wherein the de
fendants, now lying in State Penitentiary
for stealing horses, wire su^d by Lowe to
collect damages which accrued to him in I ^one '*y
costume by
getting back his horses, came up yesterday
morning. Jury returned a verdict in favor
of plaintiff for the full amount of claim.—
Cook, Lindley A I'jark for Lowe, Parker &
Edwards for defendants.
The afternoon was spent in arguing de
murers and taking defaults.
The cases of Arndt vs. ITriunnemann and
Allerd, Coates Patched vs.^City of Dav
enport, and Scott vs. Leonard are set for to
day.
Judge Miller closed his labors last even
ing and Judge Dillon resumes his to-day.
THE MT. VKUNON FANCY DRESS
BAI.I.—SOME PARTICULARS.—The long talked
and long expected occasion has come and
passed, and is numbered with things which
have been. The lady patronesses of the
Mt. Vernon fund—those estimable women
who have taken upon themselves the task
of raibing a handsome suui to be applied
to the pnseliase of Mt Vernon—the home
of WASHINGTON—have displayed their patri
otism in an unmistakable manner, and we
are g!ad to add that their labors have been
crowned with abundant success.
We do not deciu it proper to stop here to
state how and in what particular manner
the plans were put into execution we need
not state either that every old wardrobe
was ransacked for (unique articles of dress
or that the Theatres of Chicago were taxed
largely for costumes of the stage to set off
the forms of the male portion of the party,
or that many of our ladies spared neith
pains or expense to array themselves in the
most gorgeous and costly appareL These
things are all too well known to the public
to need recitation. We shall speak only of
what we saw there and what we thought of
the same.
At an early hour on Tuesday evening,
numerous carriages coutaiding a great
amount of crinoliue, drove up to the steps
of the Metropolitan Hall and unloaded their
precious cargoes others on foot, decked
out In all manner of quaint costumes come
flocking in from all directions until the Hall
was completely filled with one of the largest
and most brilliant assemblages ever called
together in the city of Davenport. There
were representatives from every European
country—the French,the Spanish, the Turk
English, Italian, German, Austrian and
Russian noble dukes, earls, barons, counts.
Indians, and any quantity of allegorical and
burlesque characters, all mixed up in one
heterogeneous mass, and but for the recog
nition of the familiar faees of our cit'cens
we should nave considered ourselves in
dream land, or gazing upon the stage of
Burton's Theatre, on the oeeaaion of some
grand performance.
Passing from the street into the Hall, the
first thing whieh attracted the attention
was our worthy friend n, who rep
resented a very jolly, though stern son of
Erin, who invariably had something deei
dedlj rich to say to every one who passed
hist. He waa ths fink good item of the
nmlMk nMdl.

the ii^Dner and fashiop of citizens of tb«
l'jth century, hut the larger portion had
exercised their fancy to a great extent in
"corn:rg out" iu good style.
Who was the belle—the bright, particular
•tar of that vast assemblage of brilliant
beauty That is a question upon which
all wonld willingly give an opinion and all
would be sure to differ upon. We have
our
opinion and chall express it but if any
one wishes to dispute us, tve will leave the
adjustment of the question to the lady
herself, she was none other than the
beautiful and accomplished Miss M.
111KU „,,i
wore the most
splendid dress That is another hard ques
I tion to dee'de. There was Mrs. W h,
Miss W r, Mrs. D—t, Mrs. Ii r,
the beautiful Miss n, and many
others who were dressed in very costly and
very elegant dresses. One worn by Mrs.
was made expressly for the occa
sion at an expense of $20o. Not being
conversant with the names of "dry goods"
we can only say that it was black, spang
led with stars. She represented l^dy Mac
beth. We noticed among those present the
lovely Mies as the flour girl
^ene.
Another pleasing feature and one which
attracted great attention was the appear
ance of Mr. S as Mrs. Partington. II
carried eut the idea to a nicety, and must
say that he never before was seen in so ap
propriate a costume. We advise him to
adopt, it permanently.
Mr. E dressed to represent JNortd
and Soul!', nnd attracted much attention.
Nena Sahib was there in all his glory in the
very gentlemanly person of Mr. K
and Hamlet iu Mr. K——r Charles II in
Mr. K a nobleman in Mr. 1
and A— -, and
two Turks in Mr. D
others. The portly old landlord was well
-k. Touchstone ia comic
-w as a modern courtier,
—s as Gen. Putnam, Mr. Le
as Highland Chief, Mr. n
as Seneca Chief and Yankee Peddler, Mr.
-s as Sulpiee in Daughter of the
Regiment, and many others made most ex
cellent and dressy appearance. The comic
parts were well sustained, and are glad to
state t'.at the party passed off in the most
satisfactory and harmonious manner—if
harmony could exist in such a company.
We heard no complaint, and there was no
call for any. The ladies have done them
selves great credit in managing the matter,
and have, as they deserve, made a fine sum
out of it for the purpose before stated. It
was the mo9t successful as well as the most
brilliant pariy ever given in this city.
The amount netted by the ball was,
we are informed not far from $300, whieh
?um will make a very handsome present
from the worthy ladies our city, to the Mt.
Vernon fund.

mean to say Unit the couutry could not

time than UIIO'JHT.
Is it convenient now to have burtheued

annum interest on a 200 million loan foi
tl.e purchase of Cuba.
Mr. C. here made a agression to speak
of C-'iitral America and oilier weak Slates
once it was the policy of the American go
vernment to maintain a friendly feeling
with all the nations of the Continent. He
remembered when the American name wa»
loved, when il was dear to struggling Re
publics wiieti the declaration of encourage
ment had been spoken by the voice of Hen
1
had been read at the head of their
armies.
How have we lost all tins? read the mes
sage aud there you will eee that we are at
variance with Mexico, Cota bi^u, Guate
mala, and that we are buried in diniM-ltie*

Do all these specks of war augur well for
the revenue? Yet a bill is now pending to
place the military and naval force* in the
hands of the President, up rt and alnive
the action of Congress. Tiie bill was most
unwise it was to make liitlu wars on little
people.

and its implied hii.t, if Spain will not sell,
we will take.
The President supports his demands for
f.'^i.iMKi.oiii) by the example of Jefferson,
u e a s e s a e n o i a e o e e
treaty is asentel to by ingress, and even
if Congress never consents, I tie President
can draw the money aud take its sale keep
ing iu his own hands. Tlie President him
self may be above suspicion but the Consti
tution does not entrust him with one dollar.
The hands of the Executive should un
suspected at.d not even exposed to the sus
i i o n o o n e y e a i n g- u e i i s u n

President's power ami destroys the belance
between the States.

He did not want to see our Anglo-Saxon
race mingled with people who did n't under
stand or appreciate our institutions, and he
did not think our countrys greatness was to
be achieved by adding acre to iicre. but by
tilling it with arts uud industry he believ
ed that this whole scheme of policy would
burst like a bubble the bill a mere piece of
farfaronaiia. It is a part of Uie fire works

With buii.ai.ity,

call of the House, no quorum being present
at the usual time of meeting.
The House tabled the bill increasing the

purser' in the navy.
Mr. Stephen" from the committee on Ter

it be considered now as it, makes no appro

Mr. Kelio move 1 an amen Intent pro
vidii that when there are ln.ooo residents
in Ariz •ni, the Legislature shall provide for
the election of a Governor, Secretary of
State, Marshal and Judges, who are to be
commissioned by the President.
Mr. Stephens said this bill had been form
ed on the model of other Territorial bill*,
it was now late to change our policy as the
gent from Illinois proposed.
Mr. Haskin proposed a new section, to
the effect that when Arizonia contains the
requisite population for a member of Con
ress, ascertained by a census, it shall be
awful for the Legislature to provide for the
election of delegates to form a c:.»ti utioii,
which shall be submitted to 'he oj»Ic for
lalification—this provision to bu i .r-„ rjiO
rated in the rules and constitute a rule ot
action as to all other territ- rien.
Mr. Jones,of Tenn., oljected to all amend
ments oeing read for information, until the
bill was regularly before the House for ac
tion.
Mr. Grow offered a preamble setting forth
that as the tract of country embracing Ar
izonia, when acquired from the repub'ic of
Mexica was by virtue 01 the lawa and con
stitution free from African slavery, as no
law has since been parsed establishing slave
ry therein. Therefore
Reiohed, That this act shall not be held
to authorize African Slavery in the Territo
ry. Slavery remains abolished as at the
time of its acquisition from Mexico. Mr.
Grow said this was almost the same lan
guage as was used by Mr. Benton, and there
fore was a Benton provision. Mr M'Queen
oi h. C., objected to the introduction of th s
amendment.
Mr. Kilgore moved to table the whole
