Card of Gov. Lowe.

MxssRs. EDITORS - My attention has been
called to the following extract, purporting 70
be part of an editorial Of the Democratic
Journal Of this city:
"The Governor himself thinks he is COM
petent, does not know positively whether he
is or not, but says, II 1t does turn out that
Springer is not competent, he wiU reign,
and then I piH appoint some one uho Il
competent"
This extract purports to be quotation
from my remarks, making it quite necessary
in justice to Mr.. Springer as well as mysell
to correct the same, by saying that the state.
ment is simply untrue. 1t is impossible thai
should have expressed doubts Of MIR. Spring
er's competency for the office Of Judge in
this district. | have known him 20 years al
an Attorney in this State, during which time

ten years. He had large practice, was vel

uprightness and high moral character, pos
sesses great dignity Of department and fn'
perceptive faculties. ! cannot but think h,

From The Critic.
Morn oAllsth to fair boy strayng
Mid golden meadows rich with clover dew,
She calfs--but he thinks Of naught awe playing |;
And no she smiles--nnd waves him On adieu!
Whilst he, still merry With bis foxefy store,
Deems not that Morn, sweet Morni returns no
more.
Noon con,eth--but the hoy, TO manhood growing,
Heeds not the time--he bat ono sweet form
One you, fair face, from bower Of jasmine low
Sinr,
And all his loving heart with bliss lie warm.
So Noon, unnoticed seeks the western shore,
And man forgets that Noon returns no more.
Night tappeth at a easement cleaning
With the thin are-light, pickering faint and
low
BY which gray haired man IL sadly dreaming
Ger pleasures gone, rs all lifes pleasures go;
Night calls him to her--and he leaves his door,
Silent snd desolate; AID returns no more.

Col curtis at ao1n Q.
His LrssLLrRs AND HIS rKLLow-crTIzESl

Oliver /. Taylor, whom some Of our citi-
Eens may remember formerly as drunken
loafer, sub. editor Of the Post Of our city,
published 10 paper which he now issues at
Keosauqua, the charge that Col. Curtis said
he ssleft Keokuk and moved to ST. Louis in
order to secure high social position for
himself and family"
The charge has since been published in
various papers and score or two more Of
infamous ISLANDERS in the keokuk Journal.
The charge 10 absurd on it's face, and the au
thor OF 1t is one OF those poor contemplate,
uswly imported Losofoco editors, whose
only qualifications for their vocation is
reckless facility in hard lyisg and hard drink
ing.
Col. Curtis pronounces the statement ut
serly destitute Of truth, and all the old citi-
zens who are familiar with the circumstances
Of Col. Curtis settlement here, look upon
the charge as an absurd, as well as base and
Infamous SANDER.
Col. Curtis came to Keokuk in the employ
OF the State as Engineer Of the Des Moipes
River Improvement in ls46, and lived, with
his large family, in little frame house with
one room and shed kitchen for couple OF
years.
The Colonel was subsequently, thrown on,
Of employment, by change in the Board Of
Public Works, and was offered the post Of
City Engineer in ST. Louis. He accepted it
and went TO ST. Louis, leaving his famil,
here.
During the course Of the next year, Will
Col. Curtis was separated from his family
two Of his children died. Suffering unde
this affective bereavement, Col Curtis gath
cred bis family around him in st. Louis.
And now = contemplate sprig Of niggerless
loahns, drunken chivalry charges publicl
through the newspapers, and meaner me
reiterate the charge en- the street, that Col
Curtis said that he took his wife and children
thus bereaved and afflicted, with their dee
sorrow fresh upon them, to ST. Louis for tn
purpose Of securing higher social posi-
ton.
Fellow Republicans, aye, fellow-citi1en
Of keokuk Of all parties, vindicate your ow
character by stamping this UNANIMOUSLY has
and slanderous warfare upon the Colonel an
bis family with indignant condemnation, d
the ballot box.

Some Of the best friends Of the President
regard Benefits support Of him as getting to
be injurious, and express great satisfaction
that what he said OF him in the presence Of
