GREAT BRTTAIN.-In the House of
Commons OH the LIST, Mr.. Lindsay ask
ed the Government if it was true that
the L. S. vessels on the Havana or
western coast of Africa had been fired
into, boarded, searched or detained by
British cruisers, and if SO, by what
authority or under whose instruction
the commanders of these ships SO act.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said the Government
had no official information, but they
had reason to believe the reports had
been exaggerated. They were as
anxious as the American Government
to avoid all cause of complaint, and
strict orders had been issued to the
officers on the stations to be especially
cautious.
Orders have been given against in
reference with American ships and

"Ah +! Jerusha you have found the

the sorrows of the past six years have

my mother first taught it me-" said a

which met at Iowa City on the 18th

The Republican District Convention,
which was held at the same place on
the following day, nominated
Far Representative to Congress, "a
Distriot-William Vandcver of Du.
buque.
This last nomination particularly
surprises us. We understand that
the delegates from manyof our north.
ern counties, Chickasaw, Floyd, Mitch
ell and others, supported the nomina.
ton. We do not believe their course
will meet with the general approba.
ton of Republicans in this part of the
District. 1t is a concession to Du
buque Of her impudent claim that she
is Northern Iowa, and helps carry out
her design to make the country nortl
and west merely tributary to her inter
est and prosperity. Whom the god,
would destroy they first make mad,
and it would seem that our Rcpubli
can friends in this section of the Stat.
are certain to be politically destroyed
by their imprudence and shortsighted
ness. Our northern delegates nigh
not have been able to defeat the nomi
nation of Mr.. Vandever, but they coult
at least show manly opposition to i
and command the appreciation of tina
portion of the District which they pro
fesscd to represent.
