THE GOVERNMENT PROTESTED FOR
EIGHTEEN DOLLARS AND TEN CENTS.

The sub,treasury system seems 10 be in full
blast Treasury drafts are in fair way to
rival Brandon in worthlessness. Can any up
right citizen contemplate the repeated disgrace
of government paper, without feeling his face
mantling with shame? The national credit is
sulled. Out upon the administration that has
reduced it to such an ebb. Public faith will
soon become by-word of reproach.-B.

To the Editor of the Hawkeye.

10 the Editor of the Hawkeye
My Dear Sir-The first scene of the
great political drama in Ohio, has been
acted. and the result is one that mus
send thrill of exultation to the remotes,
corner of the Union. The Wing ticket
for Governor has prevailed by majority
OF 2e,00O!! There has been gain Of
members of Congress, but the mos,
brilliant achievement in this department,
OF the contest, is the election of Pendle.
ton OF Cincinnati, over Duncan the great
dolt of the West. After next winter, he
may commence the manufacture of Bran
dreths Pills. Thus you see Ohio stands
pre-. eminent in the scale of conquest, and
if Governor Lucas still doubts it, tell him
1t is 6 Oil Korrect," for Medary gives
it up, and all the little tribe, who write
upon his outside quires.
One effort more, on the 30th inst, and
this chivalrous state, will have reached
the pinnacle of her renown, the vote she
will then give, will enlighten posteri,y
tor generations to come. For several
days l have lived amid the deafening
acclamations of the people, interrupted
only, by the groans Of agony, in the
ranks of the vanquished! But sir, if ever
there was a time that demanded the gratu-
lations of the friends of liberty, it is the
present; if ever there was a time when
the heart of the Patriot should burn with
a generous enthusiasm for the redemp-
ton of his country, it is now-and it
does burn, from the waters of the Ken
nebcc in the north, to the burning Savan-
mails of the South.
The Eastern mail Of this morning,
brings intelligence from ii counties in
Pennsylvania, and from those counties
we have majority of 1881. A gain,
you will perceive, of 1000 over the Pre-
sidential vote of '36. So goes the Key
Stone State. She will not only redeem
herself, but will act her part, in redeem
ing the nation at large.
General Harrison left here last eve
ming for his location at North Bend.
We shall see him no more, till we see
him in the Chair Of State and like an
other Lucullus, he will beat the little
Magician out of his kingdom he feels
no doubt, as if he were on the Threshold
of greater victory, than he achieved on
the Thames. How beautifully the civic
wreath, will inlerlace with the laurels
of the soldier.
Very respectfully,
Your obi. servt. and friend,
I. HENDERSHOTT.

MURDER.
tentlve men,

It's our painful duty to record the MUIR
der of one of the citizens of Lee county.
The circumstances as far as we have learn
ed them are these:--Horatio McCardle of
West Point purchased farm Of one
John J. Jones situated few miles from
West Point, and for which he made the
first payment as agreed upon, and took
possession of the property; but before the
next payment became due he ascerlained
that Jones could not give him good title.
He of course refused to make the next
payment until the title was perfected.
While at work in the field on Friday last,
Jones came to him and used threatening
language and endeavored to frighten him
off the premises. McCardle told Jones
that he should hold possession Of the
property until some other arrangement
was made. Jones then raised his gun,
which he had brought with him. and swore
he would shoot him, which he did almost
at the same instant. McCardle ran a
few steps, exclaiming "Good Lord am
shot," and then sank down and exp ired,
the ball taking effect in the side and COM
ing out near the heart. His son was in
the lot with him, and while he ran to as
sist his father, Jones made his escape.
The sheriff Of Lee County has offered a
reward of 100 dollars for his apprehen-
sion. His appearance is so peculiar that
he can hardly avoid detection. He is
thus described:--"About As years of age,
sac feet four inches high, weighing about
1870 lbs has dark hair, sharp visage with
several moles about his face, with long
coarse hair growing out Of them-a very
ugly man with bad countenance. Had
on when he left jeans frock coat and an
old fur cap He was generally disliked
by the neighborhood on account of his
overbearing and quarrelsome disposition.

ELECTIONS.

We have heard from Warren and Ad-
ans counties in Illinois; our information
is that in those counties there has been a
considerable Harrison gain since the Au-
gust election. We shall not be much
surprised to learn that Old Tip has car
ried the State.
PENNsYLvAN1A.-In this State, at the
late election, the Van Buren, candidates
received mere nominal majority of 2 or
3 thousand, Berks and other counties pre-
senting no opposition. These counties
did, doubtless, at the Presidential election
of last Friday, more than counteract the
V. B. majority; and there is very good
prospect that Harrison has obtained the
electoral vote of that State.
OH1o.-For an account from this State,
see DR.. Hendershott's letter in another
column.
Most of the other States have gone the
same way, and Old Tip is doubtless the
Presiden. elect.

obituary..


D1ED-In this city on Tuesday morning,
9th inst, SUSAN, daughter of Mr. John Bal
lard, one of the first settlers OF this town, but
now resident Of Missouri. The deceased
was on visit to her sister, and was a young
lady Of more than ordinary character; her
modest and prepossessing appearance-hcr mild
and engaging manners-secured for her the
love and esteem of all who knew her. To
see one so amiable and lovely cut off in the
flower Of youth, is a source of grief but
we sorrow not as those without hope, as she
left the pleasing evidence that she is now
where all tears are forever wiped away, and
where the inhabitants will never more say,
am sick. Her dying message to her deeply
afflicted parents was that she hoped and be-
licved she was going to Heaven, and that soon
she should meet them there. The funeral
sermon was preached on last Sabbath to a
very large and attentive congregation by the
Rev. Mr. Stewart, of the NJ. E. Church, from
the words ''For all flesh is as grass, and all
the glory of man as the flower of grass, SC.
1t was solemn and impressive occasion that
will not soon be forgotten. 1t is sincerely
hoped that this affective providence may be
sanctifed to the large circle of brothers and
sisters who have thus been bereaved, as well
as to the Sabbath School in this place, of
which the deceased was member.

and generally be brought up to this place
without any DELAY, and those wishing to

cording to the days mentioned in the ad-
vertisement, need suffer no inconvenience
by waiting at Keokuk. The Captain and

is a new paper just established in the

published simultaneously in Bloomington
and Iowa City, and reflects great credit
on It's enserprising proprietors, Messrs

Wings throughout the Territory. We
have as yet seen but one number.
''Ihe Upper Mississippian'' is anoth-
er staunch Wing paper, published stimuli

success.

CONNECTS ARRESTED.

We learn that ALDEN, one of the High
way robbers who attacked MIR Gage near
Fort Madison with the intention of rob-
bing and killing him, and who escaped
from the Iowa Penitentiary some time
since, was arrested recently in Cincinnati
and is now in safe custody.
We also learn from Mr. B. w. Gillock,
the late Sheriff of Lee County, that while
on a visit to ST. Louis few days since,
he accidentally came in contact with
John Howard and Samuel Wilson, two
other prisoners who had made their es-
cape from the Penitentiary at Fort Mad
ison and had them arrested, and they are
likewise in safe custody. He found one
of them in Coffee House and the other
was at work on the wharf.
