Tie Horse Snow.

The facilities offered by the NJ. NJ. K. K
Go. and tho Keokuk & Rock Island Packet
Co., who will fetch stock free of charge
together with the high premiums offered by
the County Agricultural Society will with.
out doubt bring to our next Fair the best
and fastest collection of horses ever seen
here. With competition from other parts Of
this State and Illinois, it would be a great
honor for our own county to be well repre-.
scented. But there is another reason why
our county should be well represented in
this department. 1t is this: every spring
there are numbers of stations advertised, and
asking patronage, because of tI.eir superior
qualities, etc. Now the owners Of these
horses ought to take every opportunity that
offers to PROBE that what they haze claimed
for their animals is true. We take it that
the farmers who are called upon every year
to believe every stallion is the best, in the
owners estimation, have q right to know
whose story is true. OF course, any man
who kncws that his own statement is true
does not fear to bring forward the proof
The following extract from an old number
of "Porter's Spirit of the Tines expresses
the principle that we would enforce:
81 lay it down as a principle to stand by,
that owners of stations that claim q certain
speed for their horses, and seek patronage
from breeders by statements regarding til. ir
favorite ~''tinne,s' should hold themselves
ready to back up their assertions with the
yellow boys whenever al allowance of five
secon Is to the mile il offered them, and for
refusing to show the time for fun or money,
they should be held liable to breeders for
having obtained money under telse preten-
ces-as is constantly the case where stall
ions are represented as having gone in the
forties Or %tifties, who cannot possibly show
2.99! REUBEN"
Again we say that farmers of this county
have a right to know if there are any 'sfalse
pretence" men among us, that they may
know who to patronize next spring.
We remind our horsemcu that the premi.
ums offered by the County Society are the
euer offered in this State.

PROGRESS OF P1RAcY.-The st. Augustine
(Florida) Examiner asserts positively that
cargoes of African negroes are constantly
landed in the United States, and publishes a
copy Of an agreement entered into between a
Rhode Island captain, one Miller T. Wickham,
commanding brig Favorite, and a firm on the
African coast, for the delivery of eighty 'fair
and merchantable negroes" The Examiner
adds that this cargo has been safely landed
on the Southern coast, and the negroes found
a ready market.
Such reports continue to reach us from the
Gulf States, and yet the sympathizers with
Douglas and Buchanan at the North persist
in s~neering at and ridiculing the fact that the
re-opening of the African slave trade is
seriously contemplated by the Southern
Democracy.

A STATE FOR Pixies PEAK.-Among the
earliest petitions which will be presented to
the next Congress, will be one for the estab-
lishment of the State of Jefferson, a Consti.
tuition for which has already been drawn up,
and will be submitted to the people. The
boundaries of tho new State are the 9th
and 43d dogs. of North latitude, and the
1O2d and 10th dogs. of West longitude,
making an area of l29,66S square miles
Denver City is agreed upon as the capital.
1t is hardly probable that Congress will
admit this new State before o Territorial
government has first been tried.

Henry Clay Dean to the South and South West
''pressing call" from the Democracy of Iowa,
which has been accepted, and the people Of
Kansas will be left free, once more, 'to form
their domestic institutions in their own way"
The Davenport Democrat publishes quite a
list of appointments, which the Rev. gentle
man is expected to fill before the close of the
canvass. We fear he has not improved much
by associating with the Border Ruffians of
Missouri, and preaching, as our last advices
indicate, an impure gospel to the heather that
are trying to make Kansas a free State. His
efforts are %calculat- d to do the Democracy, as
well as Christianity, more harm than good.

THE BORDER RUFFIAHs AT IT AGA1N.-There
are reports from Kansas to the effect that the
border troubles have been renewed. Armed
bands of Missourians have invaded the Terri
tory of Kansas. On the 9Th of August, one
of these parties forcibly seized one Wright, al
the town of GAINESVILLE, and conveyed him te
a point distant fourteen miles from the line
Capt. Montgomery interfered, and demanded
the release of Wright. A conference was
agreed to, and negotiations were commenced,
but at last accounts neither the man nor his
captors had been delivered up. At a public
meeting, held in Lawrence, August Oath, Capt
Montgomery made a statement of the facts in
the case, and there was intense excitement in
the town. Montgomery states that he has
received reliable information that indictments
have been found in Missouri against large
numbers of persons in Kansas, and that armed
bands of Missourians have avowed their
intention to capture these parties at all hazards.

the wheels to increase their adhesion to the
track, and obviate the necessity of giving
the locomotive such weight-was
recently made on the Fitchburgh Road, near

nearly a hundred per cent. No more steam
power is required to propel the engine with
the attachment than without. The improve.
ment can be attached to any locomotive at

M~UsCATINE, Thursday, Sept. 8.
Weather pleasant, and business brisk. The
grain market firm, and receipts fair for the
season. Eastern exchange declined per cent.
Weat.-The receipts during the week
have been between Is, 900 and 90, 900 bushels,
most of which has been already shipped to
St. Louis. The price remains firm at a range
of So to 60 cents--the variation of price not
being so much on account of the quality as
the cleanliness of the wheat. The quality is
uniformly good, but much of it is badly
cleaned. Farmers should bear in mind that
well cleaned wheat commands the best price.
We had a severe frost on Thursday night
of last week, injuring the corn to some extent,
and killing most if not all of the buckwheat.
1t seems not to have been so disastrous here,
however, as in the northern part of the State,
where the corn crop is reported to be a total
loss.

from Hamburg. ! wo cases have proved

during the week ending July 31st, there

~ Why have not the "Republicans''
prosecuted DR.. Eads? Why have they not
taken legal measures to recover from him the
large sum of money which they assert he has
defrauded from the school fund ?-Du6uque
Herald.
The Herald man is wofully ignorant of
State affairs, if he does not know that a suit
is already pending to recover the money which
DR.. Eads stole from the school fund. The
Republicans would have been able to show up
the shameful defalcation in its true light, long
ago, but for the r~ascality of another prominent
Democrat, with whom the Doctor shared a
generous portion of his ill-gotten gains. There
is good reason to believe that Will Tomlinson,
who is now stumping the State for the Dem
ocratic ticket, stole the papers and records of
the first investigating committee ever ap-
pointed to examine Eads' affairs. The much
lamented H. D. La. Cossitt, formerly editor of
the Enquirer, in this city, was secretary of
this committee, and at the time of his death
the documents were in his trunk. Tomlinson
was with him in his last hours, and, to hide
the evidence of his bcncfactor's dishonesty,
spirited away all the papers and documents
collected by the committee. They were never
recovered, and consequently it is difficult to
adduce evidence of the exact amount of Eads'
defalcation. Is the Herald satisfied?
-~
The DEBATE AT NEwToN.-We learn from
the Jasper Free Press that 1000 or 5000
persons were present at the debate between
Kirkwood and Dodge, in Newton, on Tuesday
of last week. Mr.. Kirkwood asked Dodge
whether he would support the Charleston
nominee, in 1860, if he stood on a platform
proposing to repeal the laws prohibiting the
slave trade. To this Dodge made no reply,
leaving it to be reasonably inferred that he
would. His political career gives strength to
the inference. He boasts of being one of three
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. members of Congress
voting for the Fugitive Slave Law, and he is
ready to lend his aid still further in strength.

KIRKwooD AND DODGE AT Iowa Cry
The joint discussion of Kirkwood and Dodge,
at Iowa City, came off on Saturday last, in
presence of a large and attentive congregation
of citizens. The State Reporter democratic
paper) admits that Kirkwood had, as usual,
the decided advantage of his opponent in
debate, but is unwilling to account for it on
fair and honest grounds. The fact in the
case is this: Dodge's peculiar notions about
the ''civilizing and Outstanding" effects Of
slavery won't go down with the people. He
is evidently heading against stream, and the
Reporter confesses as much when it says,
dodge was hoarse and f~atigued, and Mr..
Kirkwood, if not so hoarse and fatigued,
evidently worn and anxious"
The General, on this occasion, kept his
temper, and the meeting adjourned in great
good humor.''
