Eg The prisoners who escaped from
the lookup at Independence, two weeks
since. have not yet been recovered, al
though Judge TABOR, with commendable
promptitude, has offered areward of $175
for their re-arrest. 1t strikes us that in
gratitude was strongly developed fea-
ture in the character of these gentlemen,
or they would scarcely have so uncere-
moniously quilted quarters which the
former deputy sheriff strove to render so
at the public expense? Didn't he allow
free ingress to their wives and their wo-
men at all times, and permit them to stay
as long as was congenial to them, even
though that period extended from the go
ing down of the sun to its rise again ?
And didn't he kindly consent to accom-
pany Mr.. BAKER, (who, unfortunately,
was the only voter out of the four) to
the polls, on election day, that he might
not miss the opportunity to vote the glo-
rious old Democratic ticket? Certainly
he did-and yet they were not satisfied,
and repaid such kindness by willful
destruction of a part of the wall of the
building over which their friend had
temporary charge. we appeal to every
man to say whether the deputy sheriff
could lave done more for them, and
whether this was meet reward for his
kindness. Alas for human ingraitude |!

THE ELECTION.

Re- JONES COUNTY, through local di-
visions, has gone partly Democratic
Judge MUDGErr, the former Republican
county Judge, has been defeated by J. J.
HUBER, the Democratic candidate, by go
majority. The Republican candidates for
Surveyor and Coroner are elected. The
Constitution has 1853 majority. The
Wapsipinicon Railroad Loan is defeated
by 237 majority, result brought about
by the influence of Dubuque--the Du-
buque Southwestern Road having repu-
dated their own loan for the purpose of
defeating that of the Wapsipinicon Road
The Eureka feels confident that if the
New Constitution does not carry, the loan
could be carried at a special election, with
no other issue presented
BENTON COUNTY gives 81 majority
against the New Constitution. The Dem
ocrats elect their Judge, Recorder, Sher-
if and Coroner. The Republicans their
Surveyor and Drainage Commissioner.
Two Republican candidates were in the
field for the offices of Judge and Sheriff,
which gave their Democratic opponents
the victory.
LINN COUNTY elects the whole Repub-
lican ticket, and gives 252 majority in
favor of the New Constition.
DELAWARE COUNTY has gone Demo
cratic, with the exception of the Sheriff
The Democrat does not claim it, howev-
er, as a victory over the Republicans,
the opposition ticket being denominated
the peoples. The majority against the
New Constitution is ell.
FAYETTE COUNTY had three tickets in
the field, and the Republicans elect all
their officers but Recorder. The New
Constitution has 33 majority.
In BREMER COUNTY, the election turn
ed upon local issues. The Democrats
elected their Judge, Sheriff and Coroner,
and the Republicans their Recorder and
Surveyor The New Constitution has
81 majority.
The New Constitution is undoubtedly
adopted, if the complexion of the re-
turns now received can be relied upon
We shall probably receive more definite
returns before going to press, enough to
decide the matter positively The north
ern portion of the State has done but liz
has rolled up sufficient majorities for il
to save it from defeat The Dubuque
Republican papers claim its adoption by
about 1900 majority, and the would be
grand marin" of the Democracy, the
Erpress and Herald, does not deny it.
The following are the official and reported
majorities given by the Dubuque Repu5-
lican:

In Fort Madison, Iowa, the grape is
grown quite successfully, and the bust
ness of manufacturing wine is becoming
quite extensive. The culture of the
grape is profitable. An acre of vines,
properly tended, will produce about four
hundred gallons of wine, which, at the
ordinary price of S gallon, would yield
about $500 per acre to cultivate the
grapes and press out the wine.
