Rev. Is J. johnson going To Sc. Louis.
Many persons will regret to learn that Rev.
Mr.. johnson purposes leaving this city to take
charge of a church in st. Louis. He has, dur
ing his stay here, done a great deal for the
cause Of education in establishing the Buriug-
ton University, and for the advancement of
religion in the building up OF the church Of
which he is pastor. He is man Of great ener-
gy of character, who is never daunted by small
difficulties or overcome by ordinary obstacles.
Whatever he puts his hand to inevitably sue

johnson has only made limited engagement at
St. Louis, and may, and We hope will, at the end
Of it, return to Burlington and take the presi-
dency of the University to which he has been
elected, for the purpose of raising an cndow.

patronize it as the educational advantages offer.

Jonathan w. Cattell.

Although our candidate for State Auditor Is
quite well known over the State, it may not be
amiss for US to say few words in regard to him.
In this county everybody knows Mr.. Cattell,
and all know. and admit that he is as honest,
faithful and capable to fill any State office, as
any man in the State. 1t would be worse than
useless to say anything against Mr.. Catten, to
any one who knows him lie has been repeat
edly elected to office in this county over the
most popular men that could be found in the
Democratic party. He has served the county
t%o sessions in the State Senate, where he has
etIired a reputation and influence unusual in
SO short time. We can call to mind many
instances in the Senate which showed the conf
dece that was placed in him. One was as fol-
lows The vote was being taken on the passage
OF an important bil near the close of the ses-
sion of ls56-57, when leading Democratic
Senator arose and said: Mr. President, have
not had time to examine this bill as thoroughly
as should like to. Before voting, wish to
ask the Senator from Cedar Mr.. Cattelll it he
has examined this bill, and ii he finds it to be
all right ?" Mr.. Catteil replied that he had
examined it, and believed it to be all right"
The Democratic Senator voted "aye," and the
bill passed.
At the last session he was appointed chairman
Of the Committee on Corporations and
"Ciams," and was appointed as committee
on "Ways and Means" " Roads, t" and schools
and State University" His influence OH all
questions which came within his province was
not exceeded by any Senator. His character as
nan was without blemish,-was pure in the
eyes of even lis political opponents.
We do not desire to make out that Mr.. Cat
tell is saint, or that he is better than all other
men: but we do claim that he is as honest and
as competent as any man in the State, and that
un Ter his care the finances of the State will be
carefully guarded, and will be entirely safe.
Mr.. Cattell always has received and will contu-
ue to receive many votes from his political enc
mics. His election consider certain, and we
know that no man will ever regret having voted
for him..-Tipton Advertiser.

that his leg must be amputated to save his life,

up his sleeves. He had evidently made several

AcT TO EXEMPT PRlNTING 0FsrcEs. -

exempt Printing Offices from attachment
and execution for debt. The California Ear.
press has an able and sensible article upon
this subject, which We should be glad to re-
publish did space permit. Why such an
act has not been heretofore placed upon the
Statute books, We cannot understand but
we should like to hear the arguments Of
those who would exempt tools and books OF
other professions, and deny it to the printer.
Attempts have been made to pass similar
act at former sessions, but failed. We trust

perform this simple act OF justice, and thus
merit the lasting gratitude of the generous.
