The yGgeT Company and the GOV.
ernor.
short time ago there appeared an article
in the Keokuk Evening Journal, censuring
Gov. loves action concerning the keokuk
wager Company Of this place. As the arti-
Gle, written by m "Outsider," misstated the
action Of Gov. Lowe, and also the resolutions
of the Ysgsr Company, We deem it due to
Justice to give full and correct statement
of the whole transaction. The facts are
these; The Governor called upon the Cap
tain Of the company, stated to bin thai he
needed their arms, which were provided for
the company by him, and which he intended
to use for the suppression of the Indian hos
tili.ies that had broken out on the frontier.
The Captain told the Governor that sach
measure might perhaps prove fatal to the e1-
issence Of the company; whereupon the Gov
ernor nut the alternative to the Captain
either to deliver the arms now and receive =
new and full equipment by next spring, or,
If it should have tendency to break mp the
company, they might determine whether to
keep them or not, and he would try to make
some other arrangement if possible. The
company then met and passed the following
resolution:
ssBe it resolved, That We prefer to remain
| in possession Of the arms provided for US by
the Governor, and also that we prefer to vol
unteer ourselves rather than to deliver up our
arms"
| This is oil that transpred in that meeting,
and may be sufficient to show any man that
the wager Company never passed such res
olu,ion as given by that "outsider." The
company knew very we'll that the Governor
could compel them to deliver up their arms,
If they were necessary for the safety Of the
State, and it would be sheer nonsense on
/ their part to take any rebellious position
against the dovernor-their Commander in
chief. The company viii always respect his
orders.

s'You ask my opinion Of your submarin
telegraphic cord: 1t 10 just the thing An
other beauty Of your cord besides its cheap
: ness, 10 it's m0nipulabilify; you can stow o
board Of one vessel enough of it to span III
Atlantic she can then, TO use sailors tern
J "pay and 60" with it, and run across Il
i ocean as quick as though she we're making a
y ordinary passage, Moreover, she can lay
at any season Of the year, the only conditie
as to weather being that she should not ell
counter gale heavy enough to ellie too."-

IL The wrapping which you propose is Of gu
T. nature that it will become heavy with de
