to the proprieiy of admitting any more slave

County Seat

County Seat.
We learned last week that it was 10 contem.
plasion to aeitate the County Seat question in
this canvass. Garnavilo has been appealed to
TO enter the lists on the day of the October
election, as an applicant fer signatures to q Pc
tition praying for the change Of the County
Seat from its present location. One Of fhe
reasons assigned for the move At present is that
sPricc aud Murdoch are endcavoring 10 beat
Williams for Judge, by reporting that there has
been bargain and sale between Garnaviilo
and Gutenberg. one to retain the County Seat
and the other ,he "High School building
It has been said that Garnavillo can show, q
denial Of the truth Of this rcps.t by voting for
Williams and thereby retain tho confidence Of
the northern and western people Of the County,
who are supposed to be interested in Williams
election. "If the Republicans of Garnavillo
fail 10 stand up to the ticket on Judge, the
friends Of Williams at the north and west will
drop Garravillo when the day Of trial comes"
This talk has actually boon had and without
thinking ofthe effect such move might have
aron the friends Of Nc Clintock and Odel in the
north ard wesh tire Republicans" Of Garna,illo
have decided 10 demand of their township an
Endorsement of Williams. We regret this move.
We are, and We ever have been friends of the
County scat professions of Ga'naillo, but If
she can be induced to hazard her chances for
That position by ignoring all the McClintock
help, she would doubtless get in the north and
West, she il committing grave error. The
McClintock and Odcll men desire settlement
Of the County seat question on its own merits,
unmixcd with all other issues. If the election
of Judge Williams is of more Importance to
her than the honors and rofts Of the County
scat. she will hereafter he modest in her claims
to this distinction.
Odell and his supporters are reported to be
opposed to locating thu. County seat at Garna-
villo." We happen to know that Odell is not
riding that hobby At all, and that all he or any
Of Us ark, is to leave the matter unagitated at
this juncture. and VIC think the real friends Of
Garnavillo will admit that Odell is right.

A SHINING Process.

| "a 0AAuAAAAA6 SAoNOSo.
A West Union Correspondent of the Du.
buque Times wrote pretended description of
| the late Democratic Judicial Convention held
at that place. JOHN GHARKy of the Pioneer
calls this correspondent Zeigler and proceeds
to take off his hide in an article which is proba.
bly, as true as it is uncomplimentary to either
Zeisler or the Dubuque Times.
Zeigler says "not a farmer or mechanic was
present at the Convention save a German rep
resenting Gutenberg and an Irishman repre-.
senting the railroad votes in the District 1.-THE
whole Convention numbers about sixty per-
sons. During the absence of the committee a
stiffness prevailed. Business dragged slowly
and heavily along" To these tit bits Gharky
replies, That he (Gharky) can do better work
in more different mechanical branches than
any Republican in the 10th Judicial District,
that all the delegates from Fayette were 'far-
mers and mechanics" md that Zeigler knew it
when lie wrote the lie to the Times. To the
second sncer of this correspondent. it il replisd
s5ias the Republican Convention numbered but
fortytuo. The silence ofthe Democracy while
the Committee was absent Gharky contrasts
with the noise, tumult and uproar which marked
the Republican gathering. As to cuisines
dragging slowly" with The Democrats it is only
necessary to say that their labors were through
and an adjournment effected by One O'Clock,
while the Republicans had a morning, an after
noon and an evening session.
In advising the Times to beware of "the de-
famations, ISLANDERS and calumnes" Of this
writer, JOHN closes in the following plain,
Anglo-Saxon style:
"We can love the silly actions of a fool and
admire the shrewdness of knave, but the de.
signing falsehoods Of a liar we naturally des.
| pise"
