" STEPHEN HEMPSTEAD NO DEMO-
Graf"
The Iowa Republican, which the older it
grows, the more impotent it becomes, contains
in its last issue, and editorial leader with the
fore going caption. The editor struggles through
nearly a column of vapid trash, to prove that
Stephen Hampstead is no democrat. After
assuring, affirming and reassuring the reader
TO prove the declaration in the following man.
ner.
At the last session Of the General Assembly,
law wae passed submitting to a vote of the
people, the question of amending our present
Constitution This law Gov. H., vetoed, and
in his veto message says:
{. Believing that the constitution is satisfac-
tory to majority of the people of this Stat,,
its rae ndment to be thrust upon them, have
felt !, To be my duty to return the act which
~as presented for my approval to the House in
which il originated"
This is in effect saying to the Legislature
which passed The law, +" Gentlemen, you must
be set OF bockheads, TO pass such law Il
know more what your constituents want than
you do, do not believe that they want such a
law as .his and therefore | veto it," Here is
enough to show any one that if Gov H knows
what pure Democracy is, he does not act
upon ii.
This is really potent array upon which to
base declaration that Gov. Hampstead 10 no
democrat.
the wishes Of the people IN this veto ref
erence to the fact vii, lead US TO rational judg
ment upon this subject, This Bill which was
vetoed was introduced into the Legislature and
passed, when but one single county in the
State (Linn,) petitioned for it. In view of this |
fact, which can be established by the Legisla-
tive records, what evidence had the Governor1
that the people Of the State desired the expen-
di,ure cf twenty or thirty thousand dollars for
holding conventions None at all. Would
he have been justified in sanc,ioning such an
extraordinary stretch of Legislative power
No, he certainly would not. The Governor
did perfectly right and if the editor can find no
better reason for pr"nouncing against him as
demacrat. he had better hold his peace

CHOLERA AND SMALL Pox.-A gentleman
from the interior informs us that most extravi
CANT r. ports are in circulation in Jones and
Linn counties, respecting sickness in Dubuque
II is said that people are dying off here by the
scores with cholera andsmall pox.
Now, these statements are utterly fabulous.
There have been perhaps ten or dozen cases
of cholera in this city, since the opening OF
navigation, but almost, if not every case has
been traced to new corners landed from the
boats.
Our country friends may rest assured that
there is not a single case of cholera or small
pox in this city. And certainly we would be
the last one to make this declaration, unless en-
trely justified by the facts.

Properly Situated

1t certainly very gratifying fact to US,
as it is very noticeable one to travellers,
that Evansville is probably the only city on
the Ohio at this time not suffering injury by
the great food. Above US and below us, in
every village, town end city, almost without
exception, the mighty river has introduced
itself most dsagreeably to more or less
houses, compelling their vacation, and inju-
ring their value as "safe property" But
here, there is nothing of the kind in the city
limits. We are above all floods, and even at
this day have left wharf large enough for
the general business of Louisville, and al
most enough for our own without the use OF
the immense wharf-boats in front. On the
opposite side of the river, the land is inunda-
ted, and at the mouth OF Pigeon Creek, below,
the water has spread itself. We hear Of no
particularly heavy losses by the flood in this
neighborhoOd, and hope we shall have none
to enumerate.

The IteccntHcavy Rains.

At the close of the rain yesterday, there
had fallen since Tuesday morning, 4,7a inches
OF rain. Some idea of the amount may be had
by rejecting that it is about one.eighth of
the whole amount fell in the year 1853.
1t is believed to be the heaviest continu-
Gus ram since October lS47. At that time,
from the Goth to the oath inclusive. there fell
6,S4 inches In the following December,
from the 10Th to the 18th, the amount of rain
and melted snow was only 3,44 inches, al
though on the 18th and 18th. the water rose
to point only inches below the great flood
of 1882. The rain and snow from the 18th
to the 18th, had been preceded on the 9Th
and 9th by a fall of rain of more than 9 inch
es in depth, which had perfectly saturated
the soil, and caused the following rains to
pass offas surface water. Hence the flood.

young gentleman Of Louisville named
Nibs met with remarkable adventure in
that city a short time since. He had been
enjoying himself at ball in fine style, and
had succeeded most admirably in making da-
guerreotypes of his good looking face on
several susceptible hearts. Most particular
y agreeable were his attentions to one young
lady. In fact, he sat with her, and as he
supposed in pretty dark corner, for about
an hour, in all the ecstacy of reciprocated af.
lection. Going out of the room soon after,
he was met by rough, brawny and exceed
ingly fierce looking fireman, who stopped
him very suddenly.l
"See here" said he, "what's your name?'
"Nibs, sir-Mr. Nibs."
"What did you say-Mbs"
ayes, NIBs."
"Well, Mr.. Nibs, let me inform you, that
the gal around whose waist you have had
your arm the last hour, is my sister-and
moreover, sir, if ever catch you with her
again, I'll cut your Internal throat. So now
move YOURSELF"
Ill didn't have my arm there" said Nibs,
as ne commenced advancing backwards" in
haste-'it was only on the settee behind her
back"
But Nibs saw an uplifted arm, and made
tracks, wiser and more cautious man.
