Returns received from Iowa this morning prove be-
yond doubt that the whig candidate is elected in the
second congressional district This result has been
brought about by purely locathat is to say,
railroad interests In that district three railroads have
been projeced--one in the north--the Dubuque and
Keokuk and Davenport and Council Bluffs road-one
in the middle, and one in the south--in aid OF which
the friends OF each mos earnestly and eagerly desired
grants of land The present representative OF the
district introduced bills for each road, in pursuance OF
the wishes OF his constituents severaly interested.
To this the people Immediately interested
n the middle road objected saying ha, their road should
have received the exclusive attention OF their representa-
tve uni, il carried 10 successful result The rep.
resenaive did not so understand his duty. nor did he
seek thus to perform it, The consequenc, was that the
counties of Linn Johnson, and Cedar in all Of which

The Late Duke of wellington.

Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, son
of the Earl of Mornington, was born in 1863, and
was in his Saith year at the period Of his death.
A cotemporary says: "He entered the army
as ensign in his 18th year. In his 2lst year he
was sent to the House of Commons In five years
from the time he entered the service, he had
reached the command Of regiment, without hav-
ing seen any active service. The first service he
saw was in India, against Tippoo Sultan, where
he speedily rose to the rank Of Major General.
Next he was ENGAGED in the Mahratta war, which
he brought to q successful close. In the PENN
sular campaign in Spain and Portugal, he did
good service for his country against France, and
received the title Of Baron Douro, and Viscount
Wellington, for fighting the battles of Talevera,
| and the Douro, against Soult. In 1916, he. with
| Butcher, fought the battle of Waterloo which de-
stroyed Napoleon's power in Europe, He has
held the highest civil Offices in the gift Of the
| Crown, and had pensions and honors showered
| upon him, such as no other person in England
probably ever received His policy, in political
life. was always to cling to old institutions and
systems, rs long they could smelly be main
tanned, and then to accept the new. No name in
the history of England of the present century,
has been connected with more momentous events,
/ than that Of the Duke of Wellington"

ChiIdren.s Grog.Shop.

Within the last few days the police reports
have revealed the astounding fact that there are
grog-shops in this city into which children are
enticed, and sold liquor for a cent glass; and
that many children have been induced to become
regular frcquenters Of those dens. The enormty
of the things is scarcely credible, but it is never
theless true The evils resulting from such a
fendish traffic cannot be fully comprehended, and
no punishment is too severe for those who have
engaged it-N York paper.
Why not! Where is the harm If the thing
is right, it is right and there is an end of the
matter! If it is wrong, and there exists the
power to prevent it, why not 60 the whole fig

his children becoming ruined by drink, but not

A Popular American Romance

The Boston Bee, which has both honey and q
sting, says that " Hawthorne's Romance, intro
ducing General Frank Pierce as a prominent
actor, is afTording vast field of amusement to
the country. No one will henceforth doubt the
authors power of imagination He has here
given it ample room and verge enough for all
the purposes Of the most Eighty novelist 1t is
said that truth is stranger than fiction 1t is
just as true that fiction is stranger than truth
sometimes; especially when separated from and
contrasted with it. 1t was left for Hawthorne to
discover that greatness in his hero which no one
else had suspected and it is now left for him to
point out that discovery, which we fear he will
fail to do. AT all events, we find it extremely
difficult TO see wherein Gen. Frank is 80 extraor.

be the province of the novelist to amuse the pub

The Republic of yesterday annihlated all the
fame of this fungous excrescence upon American
Senatorship; and the Baltimore Clipper to-day
remarks that he " called for an investigation of
the amount of moneys received by General Scott
for his seryices--and cast up his eyes in holy
horror at the idea of his having received about
six thousand dollars per annum. But Mr.. Meri-
wether has shown that, however he may censure
others for taking what the law allows he has no
qualms of conscience when his tuan comes to put
his hand into the public purse He served forty
eight days in the Senate, for which he pecketed
1884 in per diem, with 1852 for mileage-the lat,
ter item being much larger than was charged by
either Mr.. Clay or Mr.. Underwood. He under.
stands how to measure distances admirably, es-
pecially when he is to be paid for travelling His
whole compensation was rather more than $25. so
per day for his services in the Senate where the
only thing Of note which he did, was the call for
committee to inspect and report on General
Scott's accounts. Truly he deserves to be voted
leather medal for his services"

BALTIMORE, Sept. 29--l0 p. m.
| have just returned from another glorious
Wing meeting, composed Of O portion Of the up
per wards of the city They met on large,
open lot at the corner Of Madison and another
street, Il forget its uame,) opposite Mount CAL
very church. There were several thousand in
council, with banners, transparences, music, SC.
1t really does seem TO me that the fountains Of
the great Wing party have been gloriously agi-
tated, and that streams are pouring in for Scott
and Graham from oil quarters. Not only the
Wings, but the people have been aroused, and
they are coming out for the Old Hero Of hum
dred battles, in the potent name of legion. Ey-
cry day and every hour proclaims palmer and
with renewed certainty that General Scott, on
the second day Of November next win, without
the shadow of doubt be elected President OF
these United States. This conviction is irresist-
IDLY forced upon me by thousand unmistakable
evidences. There was a time, l own when had
occasional intruding doubts but these have van
ished He who understands human nature can
read in the signs of the times certain victory to
our noble captain. There is growing anxiety,
and becoming enthusiasm, to hear recounted
the triumphant deeds Of Scott. The old soldier
likes to treasure them. The patriotic heart
swell at their recital, and all feel as though they
would be secure with such man Mt the head Of
affairs, to guard their interests and protect them
from aggressions
The meeting was addressed by the Hon Thos
Y. Walsh, Coleman Yellott, and others. have
never seen men listen with such profound respect
and attention. comparison was made by the
speakers of the two candidates. Mr.. Pierce's
history was delivered with candor, devoid of in
vidiousness General Scott, too, was spoken of
as he is--a man of the nation. | never before
felt SO forcibly or plainly the contrast between
two men. The greatness of one rose to the high
est pinnacle of all that was noble and good,
whilst the smallness of the other sunk to the
smallest end of nothing, sharpened to an imper-
ceptible point. l really felt sorry that the De-
mocracy had brought out so Obscure man for
SO exalted position, to be contrasted with one
SO lofty in all his bearing. sit seems to me no
man can hesitate moment which Of the two to
choose. Who would vote for such man as
Pierce whilst General Scott is in the field? The
uprising of feeling in his favor within the past
few weeks sufpasses all description 1t seems as
though an equinoxial hurricane was sweeping over
the land, against which the granite rocks of New
Hampshire cannot withstand. Depend upon it,
Baltimore will toll glorious tale ut the ides of
November. CHESAPEAKE.

The Climax.
[ Repy6lic

Senator Weller spent an hour the other day in
proving to the Democrats of Detroit that their
principles are infinitely superior to those of the
Wings: Having accomplished this task, he spent
another hour in demonstrating that the Wings
are destitute of principles
One omission strikes us in the speech It is
that Mr.. Weller forgot to tell his western friends
that the only principles recognised by the De.
mocracy, in the last session Of Congress, were
principles stolen from the Wings. The practices
were strictly Democratic, and we have no desire
to claim identity with them.--Rep

ERAsTus Brooks, esq, of New York, was the
next speaker His was the longest speech Of the
evening, and yet he ceased amidst the cries Of
$50 on 60 on!"
| Mr. Brooks surveyed the field, its past history,
its present aspect, and it's anticipated future
His encomums upon the first choice OF his heart for
the Presidency, the able the liberal, and the
patriotic FILLMORE, was beautiful passage in
his discourse Had he no other motive impelling
him to the course of true Wing, the example
of that honored son of the Empire State should
alone suffice for the heart of no Wing in our
glorious republic throbbs more ardently in its
impulses in behalf of the cause of WINFIELD ScorT
than does that of WILLARD FILLMORE
In the history Of political parties, in free and
bold defamation, in the use of apt and pertinent
quotations from the English classics, or rather
american classics, and in hopeful enthusiasm,
Mr.. Brooks shone resplendently in this address.
Major JAMES A. McREA, of Louisiana, was
next introduced, and if ever an exhilarating in
fuence was diffused throughout vast audience by
the contagious spirit of one man, he accomplished
it last night Anecdotes, apt in illustration and
pointed in each moral, seemed to spring from his
brain like gems Of beauty from foaming fount-
ain Not thought was presented to his mind
Tor which he had not prepared the serio-comic
drapery Of n legend mirth moving story.
And, as tile darkest hour of the night is said to
he that in which it articulates with the approach
parts of each Of his narratives the immediate pre-
cursor Of surprise, rs ludcrous in its turn and
application as it was unexpected and startling in
its artistic grotesqueness
Major NJ. tried in vain to conclude his dis
course. The only person in the whole multitude
with straight and sober face was himself He
thought of the lateness of the hour, and it was a
regard for the comfort and convenience of others
that admonished him to desist; but eco on
60 on !" was q cry not to be UNDECIDED; and he
wert on until the idea of exhausting the store
house of narratives and "reminiscences" was
given up in despair.
The short hours OF the morning were now not
far off, but Mr. RlcAup, and General 7. F. Bowie,
of Maryland, Ind been discovered by the crowd,
and until each of these had given brief exhor-
taton to their Washington brethren, there was
an unwilingness to adjourn.
Finally, the meeting dispersed the speaking
had ceased; the strains of music of the excellent
band were heard receding in the distance; the
garlands and banners were removed from the
platform the lights were extinguished; and the
pale moon and the clear and sparkling sentinels of
night looked down upon the peaceful, the happy,
the prospecting, and the hopeful metropolis of a
