Although it has been proven time
and again that Col. Rabbit Is not a
Mormon, nor ever was yet, we have
yet 10 see the first Republican paper In
the State, not even those who first set
the base lie 10 motion, come out in a
manly manner and publicly retract the
assertion.
Nor is this the only instance. We
boldly state that every roorback which
has been trumped up By the opposi-
ton .. against the Democratic nomi-
nees, has been boldly met, promptly
ref,ted, and the falsehood sent home
to roost with its originator; and yet
We have yet to see the frat Republi-
can paper that has the honor or hon
esty to come out and correct their
statements.

The Council Bluffs Bugle says that

one day last week, advised person,
for the arrest of whom the Governor
Of Iowa, had issued his Warrant, to re-
sist the Officer, and if necessary to ple-
vent his arrest. to shoot him doaCn; re-
marking at the same time, that if it
was necessary, that He WOULD AS
SIST THE OFFENDER IN HIS
RESISTANCE AGAINST THE or
FICER. Was this advice given in &C
cordance with the principles of civil
law, or is 1t species Of mobocracy
Is the man who will give such advice
and by SO doing imperll the life of an
officer, and the peace of community,
the proper person 70 be elected 10 the
supreme bench I? Let the friends of
Judge Baldwin answer.

Which are the Most Oeseructive.
[xsrse,les duly 9th, Core. pondence Of London
STimes
The most noticeable feature in the arsenal
is the effort made to prepare rifled ordnance
for,the navy. Twelve thirty Founders had
just arrived. and were waiting to be fitted
with locks, preparatory to being sent to the
fleet. The system which appears to be de-
finitely adopted, after repeated experiments
consists of three grooves, about three inch
es broad and an eight of an inch in debth,
with twist Of one sixth. More guns of the
same kind were being landed Oh the quays.
From the exertion made to provide French
men OF war with certain number of rifled
guns, the question naturally suggests itself
whether it is prudent for English ships wait
until they can be supplied with Armstrong
guns The immense superiority of rified ord
nance may be accepted now o. an establish
ed fact. Yet so enormous is the demand
that for the protection Of English interests
believe many years must elapse before
Armstrong guns can be supplied to allow
our ships, land batteries and field batter>
les. After the terrible lesson of Solferiuo.
no English force should lie allowed to 20 in
to action on such unequal terms ~ the Aus.
TRANS did. Under these circumstances
therefore, and while waiting the supply Of
the necessary number of Armstrong guns. it
would seem to be no more than wise pre
caution to rifle all the smooth bored guns
Of small calibre a. far 40 possible. Itvin
be . long time. apprehend, before the Ga
Founders (solid shot) are superseded. but
there is no reason why the lighter guns. 80
and "a Founders. now supplied to shios
should not be rifled. There are, / believe.
an immence number of the latter ealibres
in store in England, and they have the rep
utation Of being remarkably handy, easv TO
work and requiring few men. lfthey were
rifled they would throw cyhndro-conical
solid shot and shell, the former weighing At
least fifty pounds. By using guns Of such
light weight. but throwing such heavy mat

Of overweighing her, and there can be no

sixty eight pounds and ranging $500 yards
- compared with the result of the present

ces of England there IL no reason why everv

not be rifed within the next three month";
The same observation applies with greater
force to the brass guns Of the field and horse

Election October llth.


A the election again approaches
the Black Republican journals and
speakers again raise the cry Of retrench-
ment in taxes, retrenchmentin expenses.
The nearer the election day approach
ca the louder and more fierce becomes
the cry. 1t is al SHAM. How many
times have the people Of Iowa heard
this same story, and what has it
amounted to- Why, just - soon -
another election results in favor of the
opposition, just SO soon the State
Treasury begins to bleed afresh-the
people are reburdened with taxes a.
ready very oppressive. This talk is
merely to deceive, merely to secure
votes, merely to open the way to
bleed the people more severely. Cit
liens Of Iowa, be warned and disrc-
gard al such statements. Reflect
that when the reins Of government
we're changed from Democratic to
opposition hands, the State was out Of
debt the tax was only oue-eighth Of
q mill on the dollar, and there was
over fifteen thousand dollars in cash
10 the State Treasury. But how is
it now in Republican hands9 The
State 10 enormously in debt-hun-
dreds of thousands Of dollars have
been borrowed and squandered, the
rate Of taxation is increased to one
and one-hay per cent, and the pros
pect is that it will yet have to be
increased, and still the opposition as
sure the people that the State debt
is merely nothing; that the taxes will
be reduced to nearly nothing, and
that the wheels of Government of the
State will, if left to their care, soon be
able to almost run alone.
Will the people longer consent to
be bxmboozled and wooded in this
base manner! Will they not look
for themselves while the figures are
before them and see just how this
reckless expenditure, this overburden-
ing taxation is going on! We do
think they will. Don't believe word
that the opposition says about re-
trenchment III anytting--it is as big
= lie a. the great patron saint Black
Republican Party---old king Satan him
self ever invented or promulgated, and
We again warn al honest men against
believing . word Of it.
If the people Of Iowa wish to see the
taxes of Iowa reduced, the State debt
reduced, and State finances put in the
right shape, lot them reinstate in pow.
er the Democratic Party. The record
proves conclusively that that party did
manage State affairs to tho satisfaction
Of the people, and it is easy to see
that they will do so again.
Let Dodge aud Rabbit be elected
let the entire horde of Black Repub.
lican Office holders be driven out Of
the State offices; put honest men from
the Democratic ranks in their stead.
and we shall soon hear no more about
oppressive taxation and accommodating
State Indebtedness.
