NINETEENTH YEAR


no AS0s0 S00S0uO In Iowa.
It's not yet certainly determined what he.
been the result Of the recent election. Will
an unquesiionsble Republican, majority Of eigh
Or ten thousand-with . current Of nationa
pslisics setting strongly in our favor and th.
prestige Of four years Of unbroken sway and
successive victories over adisheartsned, divided
and broken party, ws find ourselves TO-DAY
awaiting anxiously for election returns in doubt
whether We have lost . member of Congress or
Reelected Col. Curtis by reduced and meapre
| majority. &et
Why is this! ls it because our enemies have
told 50 many and SO monstrous falsehoods about
State affairs and Republican extrayagance
We think not. This clamor may have accom-
p''shed something, but not a great deal. Our
i"iiure to achieve signal and decisive victory
arises from other causes lying within our own
party. eaaa as7as
ist' We have not had, with the exception of
lew localities, that thorough aud perfect or
ganization which the importance of the coutes,
required at our hands, and more especially fail
ed bringing our forces to the polls.
"a. The most unhesrd of swapping and ira
dins OF votes has taken place in many parts Of
she State. to secure selfish ends and local OBJ
Jects. Our friends will see, in the light of
present returns, how dangerous this practice 10
ana sow damaging it is certain to prove.
Sd. The Republican party has suffered through
the treachery of = few false friends who have,
under the cloak of friendship, found opportu-
mites Of injuring by throwing obstacles in our
way and giving aid and comfort to our enc
mics.
II the Republican party is to continue in the
ascsndent in Iowa it behoves US to look into |
the matter, and see that we have a better or |
ganization, and that those who have aud are |
likely still to prove treacherous, are placed in
such a position that they shall be incapable OF |
further mischief We have but to be true to |
our principles, p ace good men before the peo-
pie Tor office and give them a united and cor
dial support, to insure success We are of
opinion that Curtis has 400 majority in tho first
and Vandever 2000 in the second District, and
that the State ticket has 1000 majority. But
this result at this time, is one TO be ashamed
of rather than crow over We can, upon
Presidential vote, give 10000 majority in Iowa
ind ought this year to have given 1000 at least.
This campaingn ought to teach US lesson of
much value in the future

DEArH OF Hon. w. FERGCsos.--Ws notice
| by the last Californian steamer the desperate
| duel which was fought San Francisco be-
tween Mr. Ferguson, formerly OF this city, and
Mr.. johnson, editor OF one oil The San francisco
papera In that duel Mr.. Fergusoa was badly
wounded in the thigh, after an exchange of five
shots. BY the arrival OF the steamer Isabel Of
New Orleans on the 18th, we have San Francisco
dates OF the 2lst, announcing the death OF Mr..
Ferguson. This is most melancholy news to his
numerous friends and relations in this city. No
one ever departed from Springfield with warmer
wishes and friendiier feelings following him
than did Mr.. Ferguson, when he lefs us to make,
the far oil State Of California his home. The
extraordinary brilancy Of bis talents, his gem
erous disposition and general personal qualities
made him a favorite With all who came in con-
tact with him. As a lawyer. though young
man, he stood at the head Of The Californian
bar He was also, at the time Of his death,
member Of the California State Senate, and was
on the high road TO further political preferment
Thus shot down in the midst of his usefulness
and early manhood, the circumstances Of his
death are peculiarly distressing. He leaves a
mother, two brothers and sister in this city,
besides . host Of friends who loved him as
brother and who will lament his untimely end.

A CALIFORNIA JUsrIcE.-In Big Bar Town
ship there was last year elected 10 the high po,
siton of Justice OF the Peace, as whole souled
and fine man as ever gave dignity to the ju-
dietary. He had no pride of position about
him, and the honors OF his new station sat SO
lightly upon his brow, that his executive char
acter was often forgotten in the feelings OF the
man. On one occasion, soon after his election
dispute arose between two men which threat
sned to lead to blows. Our Esquire, whom we will
call jackson, stepped up with a view to peace
making, when one of the parties, taking UNI
hrage at his interference, insulted him. Now
). in physical prowess, is very Vulcan, and in
an anstant a blew from his brawny arm had
capsized the fellow aud placed some fifteen feet
OF space between them. Suddenly recolecting
himself, he walked up to, and standing over the
PROSTATE man, said, "Now you white-iyered
upstart, but ior the position I occupy, would
maui blue blazes OUT of you. Get up and take
drink, and if ever hear OF you getting into
another row ! will fine you till you cant rest"
The poor fellow drank with the Squire, and
since then has been a peaceabe man jack.

SINGULAR lNFArUArIoS.-The PHILADELPHIA
| Press mentions curious Circumstance Connect

Mr. Theodore Gerok of Baltimore is now visit
ing her relatives in Philadelphia, and while they
have no doubt of his loss, she alon, has deep
conviction that he is not dead either he was
not on board the Austria (though he wrote 10
her he had actually paid for his passagel, or if
he was he must have been among the few who
were rescued. But here is something more
strange 1T may be within the knowledge of
many of our readers that Clergyman of this
city among those who left for Europe on
the i'll -fated President, and was never again
heard of. His wife, who remained in padeI-
phia, and was deeply attached to him, never
did, because she never could, believe that he
| was lost to her. Eighteen years have passed
away, and vet that trusting lady-we cannot
speak Of her wife and she repudiates the
name of widow-contnues to expect his return

cherished conviction of her heart that the

illness, the Pope, is as singular quiet this sum
mer, in the ample walls OF the Vatican, az he
was active and eriatic last year through his own
domnions and those of his immediate neigbbors;
but, if report speaks true, the year 1859 Is to
witnessa very much more distant excursion on
the part OF his Holiness than any he has under
taken since his diplomatic mission as Nuncio to
the Republic Of Chile. Since the recognized
supremacy Of the See OF Rome throughout
Christendom we have no instance of the su-
preme Pontif ever yen,uring upon pilgrimage
to the Holy Land; and it is indeed difficult to
imagine what would be the correct etiquette to
be observed between two personages of such
exalted positions and such mixed attributes Al.
the Pope and the Sultan. 1t is nevertheless ru-
mored in several quarters that Pio Nino, who
has already yentured upon many steps that his
more cautious predecessors would never have
dreamed OF, is determined to add to the me-
