The Eepu :icaal Party and the state
kFeASncy-.


The English swndle news papers of the State
still keep up the cry of frauds and pecuiations
on the State Treasury by the Republican party,
and as sort eff excuse for downright false
hood, they keep parading in their columns a
report made bv committee of the last Senate,
headed by the Hon. Lyman Cook, of Burine-
ton. The facts are, that Morris, State Treastl
rer, was authorized TO negotiate State bonds to
the amount of 100000. An effort was made
to require him to bring gold or silver into the
State SO as to prevent him dealing in exchange
which might become worthless before he could
convert it. Oar recollection is that Senator
Trimble, OF Davis county, made the motion, aud
It was supported warmly b. him and Senator
Rankin, OF this county. The Des Moines Jour
nal shows that Senator Neal spoke against The
proposition, and that'he and Senator Coolbaush,
both Democrats, and both bankers, voted
against it, as well as several other Democrats.
The motion was defeated Thus instructed.
Morris brought from New York, $75, 600 in gold
and Sl25,ooo in the drafts OF Cook, Sargent &
20. Morris sold exchange to the amount OF
near $4,000 10 the banking houses of Hoyt,
Sherman 4 Co. and B. +. Allen, of Des Moines.
A few days afterwards the Senate Committee
was appointed, and reported the facts. The
banking houses of Des Moines advised the Com.
mittee that they had sent the exchange East,
and as soon as they were advised of the paw
ment they would pay. The Committee found
that the drafts, certificates of deposit and mon
ey on hand exceeded Moriis's liability over
81 200. The drafts and certificates have since
been paid, and Norris does rot this day are The
State one dollar. We have the most reliable
assurance of the truth of this statement. It's
true, beyond any doubt. Can this be said of
Eads! His securities, some of the best men in
the county, re soon to be hunted down in or
der to respond to his enormous squandering
OF the school fund. The Republican Legislature
investigated the charges against Eads and az
posed his deialeation. A Republican Lcgisla
ture examined any charge or any expressed
suspicion against any aud every Republican
office holder No fraud was concealed or |
charge smothered, but the brightest light was
into every nook and corner Of every
public office. public printer defrauded the |
Treasury, and Republican Legislature exposed |
he fraud and ordered an immediate suit. The
printer gave good security, and there is no loss |
to the State. The State has not lost and will |
not lose dollar from the conduct of any office |
holder elected by the Republicans. The men |
hat held State Offices, on whom suspcjon
'es'ed, were not renominated by the State Con.
iention which recently assembled ut Iowa Civ.
The Republican party upholds no man unless
le is above suspicion, even though those snspi.
ions are, as in this instance, ill-grouuded.

Serious Difficulties In Dakota Terris
tory
rHE TOWN or MEnARY DESTROYED BY THE YANG
TONS.
Mr.. 7. J. Dewitt, One Or the active members
Of the Dakota Land Company, arrived in town
last evening, having lea the town Of Mcdary
one week ago. To him we are Indebted for the
following:
The Yancton Sioux having been jealous for
the last year Of the increasing settlements Of
the whites in the far West, and also being dis
satisfied at not receiving any pay for the read
that they say Col. Mobiles made on their lands
last year, have taken upon themselves to regu-
late the matter in their own way.
With scarce a half days previous notice, the
town OF Medary was surprised by the arrival Of
large body Of Yanctons, to the number Of ITO
lodges. who Immediately commenced their de-
predations upon the property OF the whites
When demonstrated with for such conduct, with
much insolence they replied that they were sur.
prised that the whites should think Of holding
that place, when the white soldiers had already
abandoned Fort Smelling on the Mississippi, and
Fort Randall on the Missouri; and while still in
council the Indians commenced plundering the
houses, distributing and destroying a large
quantity of stores. They then set fire to and
burned every house in town-some nine in |
all the claim cabins in the circuit |
OF miles, large field OF potatoes which had |
just been planted was pulled up by the squaws. |
Settlers had been moving into Dakota very |
fast during the season, and had made Medary
a sort Of storehouse. A large number OF horses
belonging to the settlers were appropriated by |
the Indians. AT the time of this occurrence . |
arge portion of the people Of Medary were
absent on visit to the Falls and other places.
It was believed that the people ut the
Falls would fortify themselves. The people
n and about Medary have fled to the Cotton
vood river, where they have determined to
make q stand against tie Indians.
As there are no soldiers to protect the frontier
With, Mr.. Dewitt has come down for the pur-
'ose Of raising some volunteers. It is believed
hat the government has stores sufficient at TT.
