Chief Engineer
The Difficulty Settled.

Great Britain comedies her inability to
maintain the right of search and visitation.
Intelligence by the Arabia is decisive. The
Cabinet lowers its pretensions, countermands
its instructions, withdraws the cruisers from
the Cuban coast, and settles the controversy
without blow. Christendom will now
look to this Republic to do its duty in the
uprooting of the Infamous traffic which
search and visitation were Instituted to sup
press. But, at the outset, we stumble upon
this misfortune: the government of this
country is not in earnest in its treaty obi
cations to assist in putting an end to this
abomination. 1t looks one way and rows
another-scnds avOwed disunionists and
advocates Of the slave trade to foreign courts
puts slave holders and dealers IN COM
mand Of its squadrons for the apprehension
of slave stealers, and fills the places of hon
or and profit at home with those who be.
lieve, or pretend to believe, that slavery Is
the highest Development Of Christianity
and Democracy, and whose sole purpose is
to extend it to every nook and corner of the
continent not already blessed with its pres.
ence. The work done may be judged Of BY
the tools employed. For very shame, we
entreat those in power to throw off all dis
guse at once, and deal honestly. Let US
have declaration of their principles avow-
edly and above-board, or some active and
efficient measures to do that which we have
agreed to-that which we cannot neglect
without becoming the scorn of all the civ
ilized world.

Col. Curtis Rcnominaied.

The Republican COMPRESSION Convention,
for the first District, which met at Oskaloo-
Ga, on the It'll inst, did itself honor and
reflected the sentiments of its Republican
constituency, by again placing in nomination
for Congress, Col. S. r. CURTIS. This act,
30 justly due the Col. for the efficient and
faithful manner in which he has battled for
the cause of Right, in the Halls of Congress,
during one of the mostboisterous and storm
ing sessions of the National Legislature, will
meet with cordial ratification at the polls
next October, by the Republican hosts Of
Iowa. As far as we s:e cognizant Of
tho beatings of the Republican pulse, upon
the ssNlissouri Slope" it is strong and re9u-
lar for Col. Curtis. No other nomination,
at this time, would have given such general
satisfaction among the Republicans. They
know, appreciate, and wiH re-elect their
faithful servant to Congress, by an increased
majority. The Sham Democracy are already
T1mble-ing over their impending Waterloo
defeat. So mote it be.

Col. Curtis,

We are sure our readers will be all graft
fed to learn that the Hon. Sam. r. Curtis
has been re-nominated rs a candidate for
Congress. We had the pleasure of some
conversation with Col. c., and, as we ex-
pected find him ready to devote all his ener-
gies to the success Of Republican principles
During the present session of Congress he
has not been absent from his post single
day. He goes into the campaign with IN
amount of physical and mental energy rare.
ly equaled. Thoroughly imbued with the
fundamental doctrines of Republicanism
he is prepared to throw the whole weight Of
his character and influence into the contest
for that success. The Republicans of the FIRST
Congressional District may we'll be proud
of their standard bearer in this campaign
He will seize it firmly, and with great phys
ical, mental, and moral power will carry it
nobly forward to triumphant victory
We hardly need say that Col. Curtis, ~ a
man, n citizen and a statesman, is in every
way worthy Of the fullest confidence and
cordial support of all right-thinking men.
During the present term Of Congress be has
been faithful to the interests of Iowa, and,
unless we very much mistake the signs Of
the times, the people will indorse his course
by giving him larger vote than has ever
been given to candidate for Congress in
this DistIict.- Osfdloosa Herald. :,

who IL to Blame /!

Our irascible neighbor of the Oracle takes
our remarks, in relation to the empty houses
visible at Crescent City, in high dudgeon
and, assuming an DIR of injured innocence,
proceeds at once to read US lesson on the
the propriety of going Gin for the whole
country"-drily advising US to quit Swatch
ing our neighbours for evil" The advice
may be good, but it is entirely uncalled for.
We have at no time, exhibited any animosi.
ty, jealousy or "covetous temper'' towards
any our of nsighboring towns. What We said
the other day, in reply to an article clipped
from the Oracle, the facts in the case
warranted. We made no assertion that
was not susceptible of proof. From our
own observation, we know what We then
empty house in Crescent City, at that
time, the Oracle's assertions to the con-
trarary, Notwithstanding. We would be
content to let the matter rest here, had not
the Oracle impugned our motives, and ac-
cused US of disappearing Crescent City,
from a studied disregard of the welfare of
the community, and we must be permitted
afew words in reply to the soft impeachment.
In the remarks to which our neighbor takes
exceptions, we stated it as our belief that
the article from the Oracle, was merely in
tended for buncombe. We maintain the
same opinion now. Our neighbor has no
moro use for additional buildings, than we
have. He may dispute this fact, but it will
avail him nothing. When zee indulge in
''buncombe'' Of the kind in questionable
Oracle has our carte blanche to "put US
through course of sprouts" and we shall
avail ourselves of the same privilege in re-
gard to our neighbors. We think our neigh
Dor would be doing the county more and
better service, by attending little more
closely to the "weedins of his potatoes"
and leaving the manufacture of "buncombe"
to those who have become Thoroughly SEN
Eghtened in the mysteries,' by virture of a
clog school-house education" We have
NO objection to "any portion of our fair
county progressing, on the contrary, we
have abored with whatever of ability we
possessed, to advance the interests of the
entire Missouri Slope. We are not conscious
of ever having entertained feeling of hos
tihty towards any other point, and we defy
any person to point to one article of ours,
where we have exhibed any signs of dis
tress' over the prosperity or progress Of "any
portion of our fair county, or of our State.
Council Bluffs Acknowledges no rivals upon
the Missouri Slope, and we have therefore,
no occasion to feel jealous of anybody, or
OF any place. At the same time, when our
neighbors put on "airs," not warranted by
their circumstances, they should not be sur
prised if their "snobbishness'' excited
passing remark from US. We are willing to
take our chances on the same footing.
