Justice though Tariy is Sure TO Arrive.

| Justice tnouSh Iafuy Is sure TO Arrive
The following just though long delayed trb
| ute TO the position and resources of Dubuque
| and vicinity, we clip from that able ard popu-
| lar journal, the st. Louis Times. The final
! determination Of the Merchants and business
! men Of this city, to be properly and fairly rep
rcsented abroad the unprecedented yield Of
lead about Dubuque for the last year; the final
decision of the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany to construct the road through to Dubuque
without delay and the rapid settlement and i'm
provement of this portion of Iowa, have all
contributed to open the eyes of people at a
distance, and to crown Dubuque with that re-
ward which her position and her merits justly
entitle her to.
"DUBueuE LEAD.-The lead mines in the
vicinity of Dubuque are yielding richly, every
boat from that section bringing down large
cargoes. Since the discovery of the great
dead GaIena finds in Dubuque not an unim-
portant rival. Two or three furnaces for slnelt-
ing are in constant blast day and night. 1t has
been generally supposed that nearly all of this
article that comes down the river is from the
Galena mines. This is a mistake, and Dubu-
que should have credit for furnishing a Iarye
share, as the Manifest of the Excelsior, arrived
yesterday, shows. But 1000 pigs out Of 5, l35,
were shipped at Galena-l, ,474 pigs were taken
in at Potosi-2S5 at Buena Vista, Iowa-and
the balance, ,2,379, came from the furnaces at Du-
bugue. Lead mines are vast source of wealth
to any section, bringing in as they do, nothing
but hard money, and Dubuque is profting by
her new found treasures. Her increase in extent,
population and BUSINESS lis almost unprecedented
The town itself is handsomely situated, and
contains some Of the finest hotels, residences,
and stores in the country, and is supplied with
extensive stocks of merchandise Of every de-
scription The country back for hundreds OF
miles cannot be beat for agricultural purposes,
and is filing up rapidly with good substantial
farmers. This itself, aside from lis mineral
wealth, will in time make Dubuque one of the
largest cities above st. Louis.

In this letter Gen. Scott alleges two reasons
for declining to accept Gen. Jacksons chal-
lenge: first, s'a sense of religion and second,
"patrlotic scruples. We are not disposed to
object to these reasons for not fighting. Let
US see, though, if Gen. Scott was sincere in
protesting to be influenced by them, as matters
of principle.
In April, 1919, Dewitt Clinton, Of New
York, a talented and high toned man, made
the following publication in the newspapers of

MADAME mARDEsPACH.

The above is the name Of lady whom Mar
shall Haynau caused 10 be publicly scoDrged "
! because her servants burnt the Emperor OF Aus
tria in effigy. Mr.. Brace thus describes tho
manner in which the punishment is inflicted
The custom is" he observes, "to call out thee
hundred men, who form two rows, one hundred
and fifty on each side. Each man is provided
with tough, timber stick. The criminal, har-
| dy, strong man, commonly, was stripped TO the
waist and made TO walk leisurely through ut the
beat OF the drum. If any one on the line neg
lects TO lay on ~ hard us he can, he gets FIVE
and twenty" himsel. Ii is generally calcuIa-
ted that a strong man, sen, through this lane
four times, if he has strength enough to get TO
the end, will die in very few hours"
| This was Madame Maderspachs punishment,
though with generous consideration for hersex,
the run was probably limited to ohce through.
The effect upon the proud high born lady was TO
drive her into insanity. Tho news Of such a
public, brutal indignity on his'wife, so affected
the husband that he shot himself through the
brain. And to entirely hush up the matter, the
only survivor, young son, was drafted into tho
Austrian Army in Italy, where he is still. The
| whole deed seems to have come, if not directly,
| from Eiaynau, at least from his general order
The poor lady still lives in Pesth, in a half era
zed condition.
1t is said, after lIaynau's hagellation by the
London brewers, some one sent her paper con-
tanning an account Of it; and that she hept IL for
days in her bosom, ret Nth tears! Somehow
or other, she obtained too, piece of the broom
with which he was beaten, and, manac-like, she
has made bracelet of it, which she now wears.
The Hungarians assert that this instance Of Ma
dame Maderspach is only one of several similar.
We confess, that to our mind, this story wears
the air of those fictions founded on fact, which
Madame Rumor is renowned for producing
We take refuge from its horrors in incredulity.

COnRrCss and the Hook SXyIudIC.

In tho Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill
in Congress, there is an item of Sll5,000 for pro-
curing Books for the members being nearly S400
to each. The object, as we understand it, in CIV
ing documentary books to members, is to dlstrib-
ute them throughout the country, for the use and
benefit of the people-that, although nominally
belonging to the member, yet access 10 them TO
be permitted to any one having use for such books
Instead of that, these grants are turned to tho
private use of the members, and with most of
them may be termed an absolute swindlo. II is
notorious, for many years past, and the fact has
been proclaimed in Congress, that the books thus
furnished pass through the hands of the NOM
bers only construc.ively. Some outside operator
stands prepared, when the member receives his
order from tho clerk for his books, to give him
half price for it. The purchaser then sells these
same books back TO the government at tho next
session at the full price, SO that they may DO fur
nished to other Members for the same game TO
be enacted over and over again, as we have been
informed by those who have made large sums OF
money by the operation. This is one Of tho tap

SLAVE DECISION IN TExAs-A case has been
decided in the District Court, for the county of
Bexar, in Texas, which, if confirmed in the Su-
preme Court, will operate, i, is said, to declare
several thousands OF blacks free, who have been
held heretofore rs slaves. A woman was car
ried from the United States to Aus,in's Colony,
Texas, in 1896 Slavery was not recognised by
the laws of Mexico at that time. The consti-
ton Of Coahua and Texas was, proclaimed in
1927, and the woman, the subject of suit, daugh-
err of the original slave, was born on the brazos
about the middle of 1927. When the coustitu-
Of 1886 was adopted by the republic of Texas,
slavery was established and the mother slave
was of the class enumerated in that constitution
as slaves The daughter, having been born in
the country, was not included by the provisions
of the constitution. In suitinyolying the ques-
ton of the freedom of this girl, it has been de-
cided that the condition OF blacks in the country
during the existence of the Mexican laws was
that OF freedom, and that act of sovereign pow
er in remanding them to the original condition of
slaves, which they held when imported from
the United States did not effect their offspring
bornin the country, before the adoption of the
constitution by the republic, who are therefore
free.-N. o. PieGyune,

THE WHITE HOUSE, IN l794.-A Mr.. Wansey,
whose published notes of tour in this country
in 1894, have been the subject of notice in the
American papers, gives the following description
of breakfast at the White House. Will the
breakfas. there in these days bear comparison
with this
"Mrs. Washington herself made tea and cot.
fee for us. On the table were two small plates
of sliced tongue, dry toast bread and butter, bu,
no boiled fish, as is the general costom. Miss
Gusts, her grand daughter,a very pleasing young
lady of about sixteen sat next her brother George
Washington Gusts, about two years older than
herself There was but little appearance OF
form, no livery. A silver urn for hot water was
the only expensive thing on the table. Mrs
Washington appears to be something older than
the President, although born in the same year,
shor, in stature, rather robust and very plain ii
dress.
A correspondent of the Elmira Republican,
tells the following story.
at is rumored that on Wednesday evening
last, a young gentleman of Ithaca, and belle
of your village, went through the marriage cerc.
mony as farce, the person officiating not sup
posed to be Justice, by either bride or groom.
Rumor further says that they each slept alone
that night, but Judge their CONSERVATION, the next
morning on finding that the MOCK magistrarate
was u REAL ONE, and the MOCK ceremony also
REAL, as was proved by the magistrate presen-
ting the bride with a marriage certificate. The
groom, rumor further says, took it terribly hard
at FIRST but like all sensible people, mt last, con
cluded as it was only fastening matters little
to stand it, and so they hitched teams and com
menccd operations as man and wife"
