Col. CARTS fer CONGRESS.

The citizens Of this county will be very
generally gratifed to hear that Col. Samuel
r. Curtis Of Keokuk is the Republican can
didate for Congress in this district. He was
nominated at Ottumwa on the 4th inst, by
one of the largest and most enthusiastic
conventions in the district. Although other
candidates were at frst presented, the NOM
ination was agreed to unanimously, and Mr..
Clark of Mt. Pleasant, his principal opp
nent, pledged himself to do all in his power
to ensure success at the ballot boxes. The
feeling was general that Col. Curtis was tho
strongest man that could be presented. We
feel confident that this is true, and that the
people will sanction the choice that has been
made. In this city, Col. e. is very generally
known, and we are, certain will receive IA
strong vote. He will make an able and
faithful representative, and in his hands the
interests Of our State and Of the whole
country will DO safe. We cannot doubt his
election by handsome majority.
The Convention which nominated Col.
Curtis passed strong Republican resolutions,
which will be found in another column

From Calirormia.

The Philadelphia arrived on the 25th, and
brings news to the following effect:
Casey and Cora were hung by the vigilance
committee % the same time the funeral rites
Of Mr.. King were being performed The
place Of execution was surrounded by 1000
bayonets.
Ex-Judgc Mc.Gowan, formerly sheriff OF
police in Philadelphia, had been indicted by
the grand jury as accessory to the murder OF
King.
The vigilance committee arrested several
ballot box suffers and desperados.
The committee have also obtained posses
sion of a fraudulent ballot-box Of ingenious
construction, wli1eh was used at the last mu-
The most astonishing election frauds have
been discovered.
On the Sd the Governor issued a procla-
nation declaring the country in n state OF
instruction, and authorizing the Maj. Gen
crai Of the Second Division of the State
militia to raise an army to preserve law and
order.
This order did not alarm the Committee
for they have 1000 men equipped and ready
fori!nmedate service, Thoroughly organized,
ia constant drill, and under the command of
competent officers.
Men, money and munitions OF war from all
parts Of the State are at their command, and
it is confidently believed that the Governor
efforts will amount to nothing.
The volunteer companies in San Francisco
and Sacramento have disbanded to avoid be-
ing called out by the Governor.
II is rumored that 200 men had enrolled
themselves under the Governor.
No collision ANTICIPATED.
The San Francisco Herald, the only paper
that opposes the Committee, puts different
coloring upon the affair, and says the Gov
ernor's proclamationis eagerly responded to,
the citizens are pressing forward to enrol
themselves under the authorities, and that on
June the 4th SO were. enrol led, and that BY
Saturday, 10000 men would be under arms
on the side Of law and order.

Col. Benton mas commenced the canvass In |
Missouri as candidate for Governor OF the !
State. In his speech ut Jackson, Cape Cir
nrdcau county, on the 10th inst, he paid his
respects 10 the Administration and Mr..
Douglass as follows:
He said he deemed Mr.. Pierce a ruined
man from the day he made up his cabinet.
He was himself kind-hearted man, but too
weak for the place. Gushing and Davis
were the ruling spirits-one nullifer and
sece ssionist; the other = renegade whig, an
apostate Abolitionist, neophlte democrat,
and Tylerite as long a. Tyler had anything
to give. He had known Mr.. Cushing - a
leading abolitionist, trying to keep Arkansas
out Of the Union because her constitution
admitted slavery, and rs backing Mr.. Slade
Of Vermont in endeavoring to abolish slavery
in the District Of Columbia, wnen they forced
the Southern members to secede from the
halls of the House in 1888. He had known
him as the greatest enemy Of the democracy,
making speech against them divided into
two and thirty heads-as many heads a.
there were points in the mariners compass
in which there WAS u conglomeration OF every
thing that had ever been said against them.
lie had known him US the enemy of the sub
treasury, Of hard money, und the bitter re-
vler Of jackson; and he could see nothing
: but ruin TO an administration Of which he
} was the master spirit. He predicted for the
administration total overthrow ut the time.
II had come overwhelmingly. He was aban-
loned By everybody--even his own Office
I nolders--and went out about ms he came N

sttuted one interest, and the Office holders

adhesions to buchanan.
He said that the prostration of the Pierce

a reelection and had been defeated; but il
was always By the opposite party, and against
