What Say the Republican Germans

Hon. Thomas CoRw1s, who announ-
ccs himself as leader of the Republi-
can party in OHIO, and has been en-
deavoring to convince the Southern
members Of Congress, that Republican
ism is not what the platform Of the par
ty represents it to be, took occasion to
refer to such demonstrations of sorrow
for old Brown, as we had in this CITY,
He said:
81 admit that there have been some
Unconstitutional least | take the
newspaper accounts as true-ln various
places North, with respect to the death
OF John Brown. ! cannot account for
them. | have tried to find some phiIos-
optical reasoning for any man Except
his family rclations) going INTO mourn
ing for the unhappy death Of John
Brown. 1t must be attributed to an in
tcllectual cholera-for there are intellcc-
tual as wall as physical cpidemics. |
have seen it in politics and religion
One of these cpidemics has gone over
the country. In Cleaveland it is said
some have draped their houses in mourn
ing for the death OF John Brown"
We would respectfully refer this ex-
tract to the five or six indignant Ger
mans, who stopped" the Democrat
and News" on account Of our condemn
ton of this " intellectual cholera" In
thus branding the act of the German
sympaihizers of Davenport, Mr.. Cor
win claimed to speak for the whole Re-
publican party We would like to know
if our neighbor of the Gazette comedies
with Mr.. Corwin on this subject. Is the
German wing of the Republican party of
Davenport afflicted with political cpl
demic, which Mr.. Corwin calls ''intellcc-
tual cholera 2" We believe Mr.. Cor
win is correct, and we believe, further,
that oar neighbor, in the hugglng and
kissing contact with his German friends,
has been injected. His present condi-
ton is what physicians would style as
phyria.

Railroad.
The imbroglio in the management of
this road is still unsettled. MIR. DuPuy,
the Sequest'ator, appointed by the Dis
trict Court OF Allegheny county. is now
in undisputed possession of the road ,and
is operating the same.
On Saturday morning the District
Court granted a rule upon Mr.. J. X.
Edgerton, the Receiver, appointed by
the Circuit Court ofthe northern district
OF Ohio, to show cause why an attach
ment should not issue against him for
obstructing T. Haskins DuPuy in the
discharge of his duties as Sequestrator.
A hearing was had in the afternoon,
when Mr.. Edgcrton asked for time to
answer and to appear by counsel. The
court fixed next Saturday for the argu-
ment, granting the time upon the prom
Use made by Mr.. Edge,tonin open court
that he would not interfere with Mr..
DuPuy, in the discharge of his duties as
Sequestratcr in Pennsylvania, until
the question of Jurisdiction was settled.

sH We learn that over $4,000
were paid out for hogs at Pella last
week. There were several thousand
dollars paid out for the same purpose in
this city during the latter part of last
week, and there will be several thous-
aud more paid out the coming week
The price paid on foot ranges from So
to $3.50 per hundred. The proceeds
from the sale Of hogs in Mahaska coun-
ty will reach much higher figures than
at first supposed, and the benefit derived
therefrom by our farmers, will enable
many of them to pay eff their debts
and escape the injurious effects of sher-
if and constable sales. There is little
doubt that the remaining hog and cattle
crop will realize to the farmers of this
county over $50, 900, between this and
next March. This paid by them to A.
