WE SHALL SEE.--The Black Democracy
are very anxious to exclude Bissel from the
Governorship Of Illinois, on account Of his
imputed (but unproved) acceptance Of .
challenge to fight a duel, the challenge being
given out of the State, where its acceptance
would have violated no law Of Illinois. It
turns out that Senator Bright, Of Indiana,
has cen guilty Of the same offence imputed
TO Bissell, and that the constitution OF In
diana contains provision with respect to
dueling similar to that OF Illinois. So, if
they use the argument successfully against
Bissell, it will be turned against Bright
We shall see whether they are anxious, now,
to say Bissell, when the same weapon will
slaughter Bright, who is n candidate for re-
election.

WAo MADE Ea0e S0porl0tem 4 1t.
Since the revelations that have been made
Of the ignorance, venality and bestiality OF
DR.. Eads, the inquiry is frequently made
ho~ he happened to be elcctedp
This matter has very simple explanation.
Eads was dirty tool OF Ed. Johnston and
entirely unknown outside Of this county
prior to his nomination. Ed. was opposed
to the nomination Of Van Antwerp for Gov
ernor, and by pushing the nomination Of
Eads from this county, he headed Van Ant
werp of, and at the same time secured the
election OF useful and supple tool Of his
own to an influential Office.
Johnston knew Eads' character then, a
we'll as he knows it now, vet he exerted his
influence with the Democracy, endorsed
Eads as frst rate candidate for Superin-
tendent, and procured his nomination in the
Democratic Convention through his person
81 influence and position, and by his log
rolling arrangements with prominent Office
seeking cliques in other portions Of the State.
These facts are notorious in this county,
and the people, apd the Democratic party
especially, should hold Johnston responsible
for his endorsement Of Eads for the Office
which he has so shamefully disgraced.
After his election Johnston became one Of
his securities, and thereby induced others to
sign his bond, bu, upon the first opportunity,
he got of Eads' Official bond, and, through
the procurement Of Judge Johnston's Clerk,
and other hangers-on of the Court House
Clique at Fort Madison, some fifty unsus.
pecting Democrats were induced to sign the
bond for Eads.
Now, in view Of these facts, we hold that
FL. Johnston has been wilfully guilty of i'm
posing an arrant scounirel, destitute Of
qualifications, upon the Democratic party
and the peop.e Of Iowa for the Office Of Su-
perintendent Of public instruction. And
that by means thereof the moral feelings
and the common sentiments of decency pre-
vailing amongst the people have been gross
ly outraged by the open lewd and aduiterous
conduct of Eads, the state has been plumber
devoted to the education Of her children,
while the honest Democratic bondsmcn Of
Eads are left "to hold the bag" and Johns
ton, chuckling in has sleeve over his cute
tricks, 10 plotting new schemes for his own
personal advancement. II is time the people
were on the Shiny trail of this willy and self
ish demagogue.

Der UEsop HERoD.--Some Of the sensi-

Legislature OF our State should pass Law
admitting Indians and colored persons to tes-
tify in our courts Of justice. Such fellows
IN their zeal over do the matter exceedingly
and manifest vulgar prejudice against me-
groes, which is not entertained even By the
most enlightened slave States. MARYLAND
and other southern States admit the testisno
ny OF free negroes upon precisely the same
grounds that Iowa does, tina, is, to promote
the ends Of justice.

young gentleman of high family and ample fortune,
was riding upon one Of the quays, when he was 50
unfortunate as to run over poor workman who soon
after died from the effects OF the injuries he had re-
ceyed. Mr.. Y. was greatly greved at the accident,
and fastened to make to the family of the poor man
all the reparation in his power. He gave the widow
life income and charged himself with the education
Of her child little girl seven years old Marie the
child, was pretty and Intelligent, and Mr. n forget
ting the future Of q workman daughter placed hel
in first-cass school. In few years Marie became 4
beautiful aud accomplished Young lady: When was
too late her bene.acor discovered that it was impos
siblc for such creature Marie to descend to the
level Of her parent.
He was himself very ugly man, and had found hi:
lack of good looks an obstacle in the way OF his con
tracing marriage suitable to his rank in life. He
therefore, determined TO remaa bachelor and leave
his entire fortune to his young pfotsf. and whoever
she might choose for husband He informed her 0
his intention and questioned her as TO who she Wout'
like 10 marry The result may be OWNED. She aSket
for no better husband than himself. Mr.. \. wa
much surprised NJ this avowa', which his modcsty Il
lirst set down to the account Of gratitude, hut h
finally determined to lie happy Benedict, and tn
