Republican had explained the case to us somewhat,
and had justified the OF Babbitt. Our remarks
have induced the pennng Of the following brief OK
PLANTATION Of the affair by Joel W. Van Orman, Esq
the lawyer to whom referred and at present the
Republican nominee for Supt. OF Public Instruction
This gratutoas defence Of Democratic candidate by
Mr. Van Orman does credit to his heart while the
clusion to which he came weeks sgo aud before the
Court Judge LovE) had decided the case proof of
legal ability which take great pleasure in accord
ing to him:
Editor Of Times Under tho act Of Congr in
1918, Registers of Land Offices allowed two per
cent on all monies that came into their hands till
the amount reached 50 900. BY the passage Of the
Bounty Land Acts of Congress uent to the
other WORDS the Register is compelled do four times
the labor to perfect the title to quarter section when
entered with . Warran', than he does when entered
with coin, and increase of fees unless he entitled
to receive the Dollar for every 40 acres entered
with Warrant, which by law the Locator has to pay.
Col Babbtt and all the Registers in the United states
claim that the intention of Congress that the
One Dollar paid by the Locator, was to pay them for
their extra trouble. Tho Cove dem landed the
amount received by Col Rabbit from the Locators of
Warrants, and he refused "to fork over" buchanan
relieved him from the duties of the Office Of Register ut

using to pay the thus received have never had

The CHINESE FIcHr-The late fight origi.
mated As follows: Early in June the English
and French Ministers left Shanghac for Pekin
to 60 through the formal ratification of treaty,
which had been agreed upon at Shanshae. On
arriving at the mouth Of the river Peiko, on
the 10th June, that river was found barred with
stockades, and the British Admiral, not under.
standing why this should be, undertook to force
passage. The forts hear by were well sup
piled with guns. and for four hours the French
and English suffered terrible fire. Of officers
and seamen, 47S were disabled. 1t is suspected
that the Chinese had Russian or American rem.
egades or pirates for leaders. A fearful ven.
geance is promised the Chinese.

CHICAGO DAILY JoURNAL.-We are favored
by the publisher of this able paper with daily
exchange for our weekly, and this evidence Of
kindness on their part is warmly appreciated at
this Office. The Journal is Republican in poll
tics. old in years, (now in its 18th volume), and
more conservative in tone than any opposition
paper we see. 1t is edited by CHAs. p. WILSON,
Localized by BRIDcEs, and polished by the &C.
complished B. F. TAYLOR, one Of the most
charming pen painters in the field of letters.
The Journal is one of the most reliable CON-
mercial papers Of the city, and is furnished to
its subscribers at $500 per year. That class
of our readers who express dislike towards the
radicalism of the Press d. Tribune will find a
great deal less ,oool in the newspaper We are
now noticing, and may desire change.

Quit 'Em.
Hon. d. B. MILLER, a Fremont elector in
tets State in 1856, is out in letter dsclailning
any farther connection with tho Republican
party.
JOHN r. srosEMAN, ESQ.,, Of McGregor, a
prominent lawyer, Republican candidate for
Representative in 81, in the Floating" Dis
trict composed Of Clayton, Dubuque and Jones,
has announced himself "out" in the sectional
position whichhe thinks his late associates have
now taken he stands on " Popular Sovereign.
ty" as the only remedy for the dispute between
fire eaters and fanatics.
Gro. c. HARVEY, Of McGregor, we'll known
in Northern Iowa as an active Fremont man,
has recently declared against such a useless pro.
jcct as the attempt to dictate to the inhabitants
of the Territories what their domestic institu.
tons shall be.
HENRY WILSON, Of McGregor, a gentleman
Of strong Republican proclivitics. and also we'll
known throughout Northern Iowa, says he is
tired of the eternal ding dong Of slavery
when it results in nothing but domestic discord,
and is beneficial to neither blacks or whites.
Throughout this section, and We believe we
may include the State and the whole North
west, there is powerful current Of opinion
which is moving rejecting men to abjure the
theory of Congressional intervention. We are
informed that the late Republican Convention
of Allsmnkce County absolutely laid down
"Non.intervention" as one Of their main planks,
and we know that GILBERT DoucLAse, ESQ.,,
their candidate for Senatorial honors in Clayton
County, has repeatedly avowcd in public speech
es that "Popular Sovereign" as opposed to
Congressional dictation, is his ground.
