That he had been honored by appointment,
and election to the bench ofIowa from the
time Of organization, with the exception Of one

had been most happily associated in the dis.

standing for capacity, energy and urbanty =
That !, had been his lot heretofore to par, with
several to whom he had become attached by
fellowship in toll; but they altho' not now as
ISOLATED with him, were still in honorable and
useful positions in, or for our adopted state

THE JEAS BArTIsTE BEAyBiEN CLAIM
This land claim, which was so long before the
Supreme Court, is soon to come before Con

Beaubien for relief. He bong ht the town 81
of Chicago-seventy ODD acres-of the govern
nent in 1896, and was the first wife settler
there, lin 1919 y though the law did not allow
him to purchase the land until the passage of,he
pre-emption act of 1884, He bought it under
proclamation without any reservation. Suisse
quenly, some old military reservations were
found in the War Department here, under
which suit was brough, against him, and the
Supreme Court Of Illinois decided in favor Of
his right to purchase The United States APP
pealed, and in 1889, the Supreme Court of the
United States reversed this decis ion. The gov
eminent then sold the land for more than 500,

demnty for the loss which he sustained under
this action of the government. His petition is
strongly backed by the recommendations OF
the courts aud funcionaries of lllinois.-Wash.

THE AUXILIARY WING IN HOCULTY

THE AUXILIARY WING IN HOCULTY.
Il appears from the Herald of yesterday, that
A. K. Eaton Esq and another correspondent,
who signs himself ssWestern,' from Delaware
County. have taken the editor Of this factious
sheet to task, for assailins and slandering the
democracy of that county.
Mr. Eaton places the editor in about as tight
place, the communication of Gen. Shields
placed him. The only way he escaped the en-
trenchment which Gen Shields had surrounded
him with, was TO repudiate his own language
and the only way he can escape the stigma of
dlsorganizer, or .facttonist, which MIR. Eaton,
has fastened upon him, will be to do the same
thing.
1t is an Cd and correct adage, that, give the
wrong doer rope enough and he will hang him
self This editor is certainly in fair way 10
become his own executioner. He has for some
months been openly at war with the democratic
administration Of the country, but now he may
be said to be at open war with the democr cratic
party of his own state.
How long democrats will continue to sustain
an organ which is using its utmost exertions to
destroy the harmony and success of the demo-
cratic party and from this one consideration
alone, is beautifully fed by the Wigs, is for
them to determine. If they can reconcile such
a course, with proper regard for the Interest
and prosperity of the party and the duty which
they owe to themselves and their party, it is all
right.
We have not murmur TO utter. although we
disapprove of The judgment which arrives at
such conclusion.

reply to the Jcterson'an, it Justfies itself, by
saying that it fought against the niquity as long
as il could, single.handed; that lis efforts were
not seconded, and that it at last give up in des
pair. The reply is characteristic Of Thompson
and the tribe Of sharks and shavers to which he
belongs,-men vino are willing to do right as

New York journal, that honored the "wild- cat
