Judge stockton.

The following history of Judge Stock
ton and justly meritei compliment We
clip from the Oskaloosa Herald:
Judge Stockton is a native Of Ken
lucky, and has been resident of Iowa
something over two MY years. He was
U. S. District Attorney during the ter
ritorial organization. In 1856 he was
appointed to position on the Supreme
Bench Of the State by Gov. Grimes.
He was subsequently elected to the
same position by the General Assembly
During his official career he has won
for himself an enyiablc reputation as a
jurist. His written opinions arc distin
guishcd for their clearness, accuracy
and legal learning. On the bench he
is disniGcd aud courteous, and is just
" regarded by the Bar as an able and
impartial Judge. His nomination by
the convention was made with q unan-
unity equivalent to acclamadop. 1t
was conceded by all that his nemina-
ton and election would be placing the
right man, in the right place. AS pri-
yatc citizen Judge Stockton is we'll cnti
tied to the reputation he bears as Chris
tan scholar and gentleman. His daily life
is constant illustration Of the consis-
tency cf sound and extensive legal and
judicial attaiuments, with that morality,
kindness, and christian department
which SO adorn and heaptify the walks
Of private life. Ho is cminently worthy
Of the united and earnest support Of tho
entire Republican party.

They are Leaving.

A few months ago Mr.. May Of Ma
rion County and Eastman of Hardin,
both once important leaders Of the De-
mccracy, left their party and enlisted in
the ranks Of the Republicans. Col. II
p. Scholtc, an influential Hollander
of Pclla, has recently taken the same
very wise course.
lie was appointed by the Democracy
a delegate from Marion County to their
State Convention at Dcs Moincs, but
upon arriving at that place he announ
ccd himself a scccdcr from the party,
joined the Republicans, and was appoin-
ted delegate, in the State Convention
in which he took an active part.
Col. Scholtc is acknowledged. to be the
leading man among the Hollanders in
bis ncighborhood, and this senible move
of his will undoubtedly have salutary
effect upon them. It seems at least
that the groans and prayers sent up by
the Democracy in behalf Of our foreign
born citizens, on the account of the late
Massachusetts Constitutional amend
mcnt have availed but little, but on the
contrary General Cass's letter is accom- :.
plishing much.
In addition to the above we have the
following which was written by the cdi-
tor Of the Henderson (Minncsotay Dem.

A Nice Candidate.

The Burlington Ha,ok-Eye says Of
Mr.. G. 9. Cole, one Of the Democratic
candidates for Judge Of the Supreme
Court
"Bcforc he was nominated . gentle
man, who can be relied on, told US that
recently stranger had his pocket pick
ed Of or lost his pocket book, containing
one hundred dollars. lie offered fifteen
dollars fer the recovery of the money.
| The thief was arrested, aud Cole
employed by the unfortunate gentle
man.-Cole took possession of the pock-
ct-book and money, Of which the thief
had spent all but $50. He gave sl5to the
person who made the arrest, and kept
the SIS as fces.-The stranger appealed
to his lawyer, saying that he was stran
ger, entirely out Of money, and having no
means Of returning to his home. Cole
told him he must go around to citizens
and beg, and accordingly wrote out a
subscription paper, heading it with his
own name for $3.50, and charging the
gentlemen that amount for drawing up
the paper Is this the kind Of indi-
vidual to occupy the high position Of
Judge Of the Supreme Court ?-Hc
does not deserve the honor of defeat,
aud will be incontincntly kicked out of
the arena when his party are better in
formed as to his real character"
The above forms striking contrast
TO the liberal hearted conduct of our
candidate for Lieutenant Governor N.
J. Rusch, who the past Spring, when
there was great scarcity Of seed wheat
loaned and sold to his ncighbors large
quantity at figures within their reach,
refusing to take the high price at which
it was being sold about him.
| The difference in the men, makes the
difference in the candidates.
Dsy~ Since writing the above, our last
mail has furnished us the following
from the Des Moiucs Citizen published
at Mr.. Coles place of residence

Mons. Blondin on the 30th ult. crossed
the Niagara river just below tho falls
on tight rope, in the presence Of Il 900
spectators.
As he STEPPED upon the rope ho said.
"Gcntlemcn any one please to cross, |
carry him on my back"
No one seemed willing to be carried.
While crossing he performed various
gymnastics, such as balancing on one
leg, sitting down, lying down &c.
When near the middle Of the river, he
lowered small line to the deck Of q
small steam boat. To this line was
attached bottle Of wine, which he drew
up, drank Of its contents, and then threw
it in the river. It is said he walked as
rapidly and firmly as if upon . bridge.
The time consumed in crossing includ.
ing stopages, was nineteen minutes, in
returning eight minutes. Not the least
fear or nervousness, was manifest by
him cithcz before or after the perform
anoo.

Mr.. Hoyt, of Boston, arrived to-day as couusl for
Brown and the others. He is a beardless boy, diff
tident and much embarrassed. He was escorted to
the court room by Senator Mason. He refused to
take part in the trial but is taking down the evi-
dence. Lawyer Green is sitting at Browns side,

Especial Dispatch
CHARLEsrowN, jefferson Co. Va October 2S.-
This morning, about o'clock, officers Morris,
and Kelley of Richmond, and Campbell and others
fPennsy ylvania, entered the town with the priso-
ner Cook, who was arrested in Chambersburg. The
arrival startled the community, and created an ex-
element greater than has existed since the affair
at the Ferry. The people here were uncertain whe-
ther it Cook that had been arrested as the tel
egraph merely announced the fact, without giving
any description, definite assurance universal
joy was expressed by all, and congratulations pass
ed between citizens. There is no doubt that these
people here, desired Cook more than Brown. He is
looked upon as a much worse man. as he had accent
ed the hospitality of the people, and had acted
with such treachery that nothing would have occa-
stoned so much regret as his escape. The grand
jury will be Immediately convened, and an indict-
ment will be found against him. There is nothing
of moment transpiring.
SECOND DISPATCH
Browns speech created the greatest excitement
The citizens look upon it as trick The guard
has been increased. Three men selling patent med
icines have been ordered out of town. The people
are arming everywhere and ready for any emerg-
ency.

Italy AND TIE WAR SErrLEMENTs-The foreign
correspondents of the English press habitually tan
talize the British public with exciting rumors but
it rarely turns out that the important ones are en-
tirely without foundation. 1t is now stated, that
before the war in Italy was entered upon, it was
agreed sub rosa between the Emperor and Victor
Emanuel that France should be Unidentified for her
expenses in the contemplated war by the cesson OF
Savoy. But at that time Sardinia expected to OBJ
tain Lombardy and Venetia by the war. In this
however, she was disappointed, and now she thinks
that Savoy is too much to pay for Lombardy alone
which will be continually menaced by Austrian for
tresses. Victor Emanuel has recently discovered
several tender and sentimental reasons for not ce-
ding Savoy. 1t has just occurred to him, that that
province has been in past times loyal and faithful
and the cradle OF the honored house of Savoy. Ii
Is said that Louis Napoleon is willing to take hare
cash, as substitute for the province but that art
Gle is not a superHuity with the King of Sardinia
and not likely TO be, fit be decided that she shall
be made responsible for portion of the nationa
| debt of Austria, as the share chargeable to Lom
hardy. 1t is said that the Count Cavour was mix
! ed up with the original plan of ceding Savoy t.
France as an nducement for entering into the ALI
ance with Sardinia. 1t must be confessed tha
these suggestions, dimly unfolded in the veIbost
| correspondence of q London paper, tend to throw
considerable light upon the origin of the campaign
of Italy. In the language of the Duke of Argyle t

From Washington,

WAsHTNGToN, Oct. 28.-The last mail from Eng
land brought advices from distinguished sources
respecting the present unsettled condition of affairs
in Europe, by which it appears that none can fore
see how the difficulties attendant on the Italian
question can be settled, or what will be the result
of the Zurich Conference. 1t is evident that the
various sovereigns alarmed, being apprehensive
of general war. England, it is said, has no power
to depend on excepting Germany, and being favor
able to the Reform movement in Italy, she knows
not how to act between the two as she is fearful of
losing the friendship of the one, in the advocacy
of the cause of the other.
Russia, who, since the Crimean war, has had no
more continental alliances awaits events before
coming to decision to what part she will take,
and with view of acting intelligently, the Empe-
ror has ordered his Ministers from the principal
courts to join him at Warsaw in order to give him
ample INFORMATION on the state of the respective
countries to which they are automatically as
signed.
From prudential reasons more than usual eau
tion seems to be observed in official quarters in
concealng from the public the present condition of
the San Juan Island question; and hence the con-
Trajectory statements prevalent concerning it.
The new steamer built at Pensacola will soon ar
rive at Norfolk to be fitted with her engines, and
will convey thither the officers and crew of the
steamer Fulton.
Reports prevail here that acquisitions will be
made for certain aiders and abettors of the Har-
pers Ferry conspirators; but the rumors cannot be
traced to reliable sources.
Aaron Van Camp obtained to-day in the Circuit
Court for the District of Columbia a verdict oi
