DEATH OF A BoNAPARrE- Charles Lucien
Bonaparte, Prince of Canine, died On We'd
nesday, July Goth, at his mansion in the
Rue de Lille, of a disease of the heart, from
which he had long been suffering. He was
the eldest son of Lucien Bonaparte, the only
one Of Napoleon's brothers who refused a
crown. He was born in Paris on May a.,
1903, and was consequently at the time of
his death in his 55th year. In June, 1922,
he married at Brussels his cousin the Prin-
cess Renaide Charlotte julie, the only
daughter of Joseph Bonaparte, King of
Spain, who died in 1854, since which time
the Prince remained widower.

IOWA NEWS.

The project of Railroad from Burl-
ington to Iowa City, via Dodgeville, Morn
ing Sun, etc, is being talked of in certain
quarters. The talk is probably intended only
as damper on the projected 'Iowa Uni on''
from Iowa City via Columbus City tc
Oquawka.
The Keokuk, Mt. Pleasant and Musca-
tine Railroad is now completed and in op-
Grafton to Montrose. Passengers on the
packets make but one change in going to
Keokuk are not delayed.
AT q cAartrdri frolic at Pennington,
Lee county, some weeks ago, John Gcrrell,
the leader Of the party, was mcrtally stab
bed by two young men named Lewis. Cor
rel has since died and the brothers, Lewis,
have absconded. The Keokuk Post says it
was a case Of most unprovoked murder, and
calls upon the papers to copy its description
of the fugitives, that they may be arrested.
The oldest, Jacob Lewis, is about 81 years
of age, feet inches high, with light hair
and beard and hazel blue eyes. The other,
James Lewis, is about 20 years Of age, SOME
what taller than his brother, with dark red
hair and black eyes. Both are much given
to negro talk and negro melodies, and are
exceedingly stingy.

MONDAY, AUGUST "a, 1857.


We alluded last week to the Importance
of encouraging the establishment of manufac-
tories in this city. We then intima ted that
our citizens had been short sighted and il
liberal in this respect. An exsmple of this
has lately came to our knowledge. A gen.
teman came to this place last Spring and pro
posed to establish large manufactory of q
certain kind. He selected suitable location,
but the owner of the property refused to
part with it at anything like reasonable
price but asked al eXorbitant ore. He went
to neighboring city, where he was offered
u site for his marufactory at very reasona-
bic price, and on such time as to suit his
convenience. The finale of the matter was
That he located in the latter place and is now
established there, adding to the business and
Importance of our rival city,
We could, if we thought it necessary, give
other instances to show how our city has
been the loser on account of narrow minded
policy which has &C uated many of those
most deeply interested in its welfare. We
think, however, that they have walked up to
the Importance Of different course. We
believe--in fact we know-that some pro-
posed manufacturing establishments in this
city are receiving liberal encouragement
Our purpose in calling public attention to
this matter is to impress upon the minds of
allproperty holders their duty in encouraging
manufactures in our midst not only by word
but by deed. Men OF capital will be slow
to invest their money in a manulactory at Il
place where the inhabitants do not take an
interest in it, They can find hundreds OF
places in the West where they will be liber-
ally encouraged if not furnished with bo-
nus.

THE NEWS.
"A dispatch dated St. Paul, August 18th

"A dispatch dated st. Paul, August 18th,
says that the Democratic seceders from the
Constitutional Convention have appointed a
Committee to confer with the Committee
recently designated by the Republicans, for
the submission Of but one Constitution to
the people. 1t is hardly probable that this
movement will be productive of the desired
result. The secedcrs will make their half
breeds sine qua non, and the Republicans
will refuse to recognize those functionaries in
any capacity but high private Red River
Democrats, whose translation into hswgivers
was more sudden than conformable to the
statute.
Gov. Walker, as we learn by a dispatch
from Washington Of the Goth, has recently
attempted to explain himself in official
messages He says that on one point he has
been greatly misrepresented, viz: as desiring
every man to vote who happens to be in the
Territory on the day of the election for the
ratification Of the Constitution. He thinks
there should be conclusive evidence that
such persons are bota .fde settlers Of three
or six months residence 1t is somewhat
extraordinary, he adds, while the accusation
of letting every man vote who may happen
to be in the Territory on the day of election
has been preferred in the South as indicat-
ing desire to let in abolition vagrants and
interlopers to control the result, the Repub-
licans Of Kansas have drawn an entirely
different conclusions: that | design in this
manner to bring many Missourians into the
Territory to decide the contest.

How 1T WAS DoNE.-The United States
Government was looking for a site on Long
Island recently for building Notifications.
The price asked for an eligible spot, $780,
900, was consented to by Gen. Trotten, the
chief engineer. Some speculators, hearing
what was going on, gave $l30,000 for the
land, then went to Washington and persuad-
ed the General Government to give $780,
900. 1t is curious fact; that the Govern
ment pays the biggest price demanded for
anything which it wishes to buy, no matter
how mitch its economical scruples were
shocked at first at lower price asked:
