Re- me0t Of DIR. Yeomans.

BY the following letter from Senator
JONES, which Mrs. YEoMAys has kindly
permitted US to publish, the gratifying in
teiligence was received in this city that
DR.. S. P. YEoAANs had been re-appoin,ed
to the position of Register Of the Sioux
City Land Office:
SENATE CHAMBER, WASHINGTON. DC. !
February Is, 1859.
Ny DEAR MADAM:
am gratifed in being able to announce
TO you that your good husband has been
this moment nominated, and at the instant,
Oh ny motion, unanimously confirmed as
Register of the Land Office at Sioux City,
With great respect, and with every wish
for the health and happiness OF yourself
and family, presuming that the DR.. will
have left before this reaches you for Wash,
ingtou, Respectfully and truly,
Your friend,
.n s-..agt GEO. ". JONES'.
Mrs. DR.. S. p. YEoNANs. .. .
SOAK City, Iowa.
Thus, it will be seen, that the prstrac:ed
and earnest efforts of the Boilers and their
Republican allies to defeat the re-appo:nt.
,nent of DR.. YEoMASs have been unavail-
ing. The letters they wrote ; the perjuries
they committed in manufacturing attida-
wits; the petitions they forwarded, and the
~ed-haired men Of destiny they sent to
Washington to accomplish the Dr.'s over
throw, all, all were for nought they
were received with the contempt and dis.
missed with the scorn that is always melted
out TO pretenders by men Of uprightness
and honor The rebuffs these gentlemen
have received at Washington, and the de-
feat Of every political object they have
undertaken has probably convinced them
that we were correct when we stated that
their boiling the Democratic ticket and
afiiiating with the Republicans last fall
forever destroyed their influence in the
Democratic party. They have had their
day. Last autumn when they joined the
Republicans in rejoicing over the election
Of the Republican ticket in this judicial
district, their shouts was requiem to
their hopes as Democrats.
The appointment of Or. YEoMANs is
a triumphant viEdication of his official in.
tegrity and reliability as Democrat, and
rebuke Of his enemies that will probably
give them a proper appreciation Of their
influence. As an official who thoroughly
understands the intricate duties Of his
oflice-prompt, correct and impartial-Dr.
lEoMAss stands unriyalled while As .
Democrat his record has never been i'm
Peached by an honest man. During the
term that he has held the Office of Register
OF the Sioux City Land Office, some of the
most exciting land cases have been con-
tested before him, and extraordinary strife
to secure adyantageously located lands
bias been manifested at the several public
sales, yet Ut all times and unde. all cir
cuDstances the business and imparti atty
Of his action has been commended by
right minded men Of all parties. The
charges of corruption that have been pre-.
ferred against him BY small clique Of
mercenary individuals, the leaders Of
which have all, or nearly all been appli-
csnts for his position have invariably,
when the facts were elected. recoiled upon
their authors. Here, where his enemies
are known and their motives properly ap.
precia,ed, DR.. YEoaASs needs no defence,
~ his Enthusiastically, officially and
rohtieaIly--is far above the reach Of their
Puny assaults. Persons at distance who
heard the war-notes OF the Dr.s ASSISTANTS
as they went to battle against him, will
learn by the news Of bis re-appointment
that they have had their labor for their
pains.
