Of tlA papers some years ago about the

pany of Jeremy Diddles who walked into
the affections and pockets Of John Bull to
the tune of million or thereabonts. Eve
ry body within thirty miles of GAINESVILLE
was, of course, to be accommodated with a
railroad, and hundreds of farms were ac-
cordinsly offered for sale, each with ''rail-
road running right through it." There was

A New PLAN TO Exr1NGu1sh FIRks.-A
writer in HINTS Magazine suggests new
plan of distinguishing fires, worthy certainly
of trial. 1t is simply saturating the water OF
the fire engine with common salt and potash
- both very cheap articles, and both acting
together to impregnate the Woo! so that the
flame cannot spread any further; that is the
muriatic acid flies off, and the soda remains
as upon glazed surface. The suggestor Of
this idea even goes on to say that many q
fire, which is within reach, might be stopp-
ed without any engine, by discharging finely

UnnccOUntablo.

The Burlington Ha,okeye and the Musca-
tine Journal are very severe on the Daven
port G. este, because it claims the adop-
ton of the New Constitution, as Republi-
can triumph. Why is it not one? The
Constitution was emphaticaliy Republics
instrument ;-drawn up by Republican
Convention, and unanimously supported by
the Republican press. That it was carried
exclusively by Republican votes, no one can
claim, but it is just such triumph as we
hail with Joy lit is a triumph of Republic
can principles and as such it can undoubted
ly be claimed as Republican victory
The course taken by the Hntkeye and the
Journal is unaccountable to US. Do they
wish to ignore the action Of the Republican
Constitutional Convention, and claim the
recent election as Democratic triumph p
1t seems to us that when an instrument is
framed by Republicans, and submitted to
the people, and by them endorsed, it is n
Republican triumph, though all who vote
for it may not be Republicans. We have
not yet seen the Gazette, and do not know
what position it will take, but we think the
above a common sense view Of the casc.--
Linn Co. LEICESTER.
We arc quite willing that the editor Of the
Register, Or any other persons holding sim
liar views, may make it appear that the
adoption of the Constitution aoas a Republic
can triumph, but we still hold to our opinion,
from the conclusive facts that the advocates
of the Constitution did not previous to the
election claim it as Republican measure
and that thousands voted for it who would
not in any sense regard it as such. What
we wish particularly to present before the
public is that the vote on this instrument
cannot be justly regarded as test of the
relative strength of the two parties. Many
Republicans as well as Democrats voted
against it and rice uersa. For instance, no
one will presume to claim Lee as a Repub-
lican county by 5000 majority, and yet it
gave over this number for the new Consti-
tuition while it usually gives nearly as large
Democratic majorities. Neither should Clay
ton, a strong Rep blican county, be set down
as Democratic because it went against the
Constitution by some 700 majority. We
firmly believe that if the issue between the
Republican and Democratic parties was fair
ly set before the people, that instead of get
ting the pitiable majority which the Consti'
tuition has received. the Republicans would
carry the Statcsby 10000 or $4,000. Does
our position appear ''unaccountable" nows

Unsincss and Prospects Of Musca :
tiMN. .a

During the past week two correspondents
OF this paper have had something to say on
this suhject-one contcnding incidentally,
in order to stimulate the establishment of
manufactures, that the mercantile interest
of cur city has declined during the last two
years, and the other that it has not. Taking
into consideration the fact that there has been
Il depression Of trade all over the country with
other circumstances, we are decidedly of the
opinion that the correspondent last alluded
to is correct. While it is true that business
houses and dwellings may be found lacking
tenants, before we conclude that business
has therefore declined We ought to consider
the fact that the number of houses has great
ly increased, and that the immigration into
our State, which has heretofore been the
source of much Of our trade, has been for
the past year almost entirely suspended
We know that, compared with past seasons,
business in al the older cities of Iowa has
been at stand still Muscatine is not an
exception, and we do not believe she has ex-
pcriencad this depression so severely as most
other places. The articles alluded to have
called forth the assurances to us in private
conversation from most of our leading mer-
chants that their business has not declined
but actually increased the present season. We
seem to forget that one train of cars can
carry a quantity of produce or of goods that
would require great many wagons, and be-
cause we do not see an increased number of
wagons arriving and departing on the prin-
cipaI thoroughfares, we conclude that bust
ness is not as thriving as formerly.
But the object had in view by ''Citizen''
the stimulation of manufactures-ls a
good one, and we hope it will have due in
tuence No matter if we have prospect
that mercantile business in our city is to in
crease Hundred per cent. next year, half
doaeh Or dozen manufacturing establish
mcntS will do us ITO harm. The CITY that re-
lies solely on its commercial advantages has
an Uncertain basis If prosperity. Muscatine
is we'll situated both for trade and manufac-
turing, and viii, we think, hold command
ing position in the State for 10th.
At present the prospects OF our city are
Aattering. Her business men are engaged in
/, safe and substantial trade. This sea on
has already witnessed considerable improve
ment in building, and tor Il city Oh its size
Muscatine Can boast of more good business
houses than any other place in the State
Our railroad prospects are quite cheering
We need only the establishment of number
of manufactures to give our city a certain
basis of future opulence

Mr.. SamuelH on the Slump.

Mr.. Samuels, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, spoke at Burlington last Monday
evening and at Kcokuk on Tuesday evening.
We shall endeavor to find room for his speech
Mt the former place, as reported in the Ha,ch-
enc, in our next issue. Suffice it to say for
the present that he disguised and sadly dis
appointed his own friends and supporters.
Says the Uavkeye:
ssThe fact is his talk upon Kansas matters
troubles them sorely, while his exhibition of
Hunkcyism blurted out, in the inflated boast
that his children did not attend the Public
Schools, disguised everybody. And besides
his ecotism, his readiness to promise all
things, and run both sides of every question
of State policy was poser for raight-for-
ly disappointed in their standard-bearer."
sOf his speech at Keokuk the Gate City
says: ......
Mr.. Samuels boosted in his speech here,
that he intended to ride into the Guberna-
torial Office Of Iowa upon the topmost wave
of the prejudice against niggers, which, he
said. had carried the State by q majority of
forty thousand against negro suffrage. To
this end almost his entire speech was devot-
cd to the abuse of the defenceless ssdarkies''
and to tanning the flame of vulgar prejudice
against an already much wronged, DOM
trodden and degraded race. But he reached
the climax of his viputerative indignation
when he approached the subject of educa-
ton, and poured out the full walls of his
pent up wrath upon the devoted heads of the
half-dozen score of Juvenile woolly-heads,
whom he apprehends will be entitled to the
the provisions of the New Constitution.
He dwelt with much gusto and great pa
thos upon the dire evils to result from this
dreadful measure, and proved to a demon
stration that all the blue eyed, faxen-haired
daughters of the hard-fsted Democracy
would incontinently fall in love with and
marry thsse young blackamoors in prefer
encc to tho straight-haired sons of Demo-
cratic sires. The pathetic tones in which
this theme was presented well nigh melted
the stern hearts of the Democratic fathers,
as in their minds eye they beheld their love-
~ daughters rushing with uncomfortable af-
fecti on to the ardent embraces Of the afore-
said youthful negroes.
The Gate City then proceeds to show that
this school system, against which Mr.. Sam
uels exhibited so much animosity, was the
bantling of Judge Hall, democratic men,
Der Of the Constitutional Convention, and
that all the democrats in tho Convention
voted for it Among the number over
whose heals Mr Samuels proposes to ride
rough shod, is Gillaspy, the locofoco candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, on the same
ticket with himself!

AN ANSWER WANrED-Our readers have
already beeli made acquainted with the fact
that Mr.. Samuels gave notice in his speech,
with great flourish that he meant to
challenge Judge Lowe to canvass the State
with him. They have also been informed
that Mr.. s. was Immediately notified by the
Republican State Committee, that Judge
Lowe had made list Of appointments, oc-
cupying the whole time between this and
election day; and that he would be very glad
to divide the time with his competitor. The
Committee were fully authorized to give
thi, notice. Yet, up to this time, it has not
received the slightest reply from MIR. Sam
uels, and no notice of the appointments Or
of the purpose of that gentleman to meet the
Judge in discussion, has been given by the
opposition journals.
This looks to us very much like a backing
out, or disposition to prevent the party
from attending these meetings, and hearing
the questions Of the day discussed by the
competing candidates for Governor
The public would like to be informed as to
the purposes Of MIR. Samuels.-Iowa City
Republican.
