Republican Nominations.

1t will be seen by Report Of the proceed
ings Of the Republican County Convention
held at McGregor on Saturday last, that L G.
COLLINS Esq, and W. II. SrEAnNs have been
nominated for the Office of Representative in
the State Legislature. The Convention was
not large, b the leaders of the party in Clay
ton County were present and we learn that gen
eral good feeling prevailed. Th"re were but
two candidates for the vacant positions and
there was consequentl' no necessity for ballot
both being nominated by acclamation.-

however. that our friend in the expedition to
come off in October, has weak line and .roor
haiti The public now are about as slippery
as eels and you are never sure of its favor until
snn-cown on the day Of election. The time
has been when Republican nomination in
Clayton County was equivalent to an election,
but tie excitement which brought this new
party into existence has measurably expired,
ard it is not difficult to that the party itself

democracy always wins in a Long race, and the

wanting to bring back all those who act from

A Visitor.

Hon. NORMAN Enpy, U S. District Attorney
in Minnesota, under Pierces Administration,
and now u S. Commission for the sale of IN
dian Trust Lands in Kansas did us the honor
of a call on Friday last. Mr., or as we have
familiar'y called him for II years past Doctor
EDDY, took passage Saturday morning on the
Milwaukee, bound for ST. Paul to arrange some
business connected with his late official residence
there
We were delighted to see OR old friend, and
nothing but the imperative calls of home affairs
pre- eltedour acc ompany ing him TO the Northern
Mecca of Politicians, st. Paul. He informs US
that there is little to choose among the leading
81 irits of Kansas agitation--tl,a if undistulbed
by political and Real Estate gamblers, in and
out of the Territory, the people would have no
more trouble thee, than is common in the set.
Element of all new countries He has sold over
eight hundred thousand acres Of land for the Gov
ernment, and in all the excitement attending
the disposal of so large body of land he has
seen nobody killed. The murderous tools were
ever but no blood has flowed in "bleeding Kan
sas in the exciting dep rtnent over which he
has presided. The Doctor has received univer-
| sal commentator from the Press Of all sections
for the FAIRNE-s and FIaMyEss which have
marked the execution Of his duties, and it will
not much surprise us to hear that the State of
Kansas evinces her appreciation of the man, By
placing him in the front rank of her public
servants.
EDDY has no doubt Of the Success Of Parrot
the Republican candidate for Congress. Parrot
was democratic senator in Ohio when PuGu
was elected 10 the U. S. Senate and he render
ed efficient service to that gentleman in the
contest. P. insists that his opponent RANSOM
of Michigan is All old Abolitionist, and that lie
(P.) is the only democratic candidate proper !!

Of his Congressional career, and his brothers

Asylum a. Indianapolis! This is wcll-known
to Indiana people, but removal to Kansas and
Identification with the Ied.anites there, have
given practical turn to his mental deran,e-
ment, and il is now difficult to distinguish him
from the balance. When quiet takes place and
there is no further demand for insane men on
either side, Lane will 60 to mad house This
is no joke or figure of speech. Those who

North McGregor-The Rail Road.

We took a look at the track in the valley Of
Bloody Run on Monday last. The contractors
are now at work on seven sections, and if hands
can be procured there will be large amount
of earth removed and put in shape by January.
The sight Of gangs of hands preparing the track
for the great commercial Horse, LocoMorI r, is
extremely enliyenins. Next spring the work
will go on with a force equa! to a small army
and the way the country will wake up and
march forward will be cautiohfc the dwellers
on-Paint Creek!
We have heard that it is the design of Pr du
Chen Upper To,en) to cut Steam Boat pass
age from their landing to the mouth of Bloody
Run nearly opposite. The Islands intervening
are intersected by sluughs that Dredge Boat
would soon convert into good channel. We
do not regard the project as unreasonable by
any means.
