The Democratic candidate for the Of.
fee of Lieutenant Governor, is sued by
the United States Government for a de-
falcation. The suit is pending in the
United States District Court at Keokuk
Judge Mason, who undertook the de.
fence of Babbitt in the Keokuk Journal
virtually admits, as we understand him,
that Babbitt has been guilty of an en-
bezzlement of about $4,000. Now the
10th Section of the Sub Treasury Law
declares that any public officer who shall
be guilty of such defalcation as the
Government charges Babbitt with, and
which Mason admits to be truthful
charge, shall, on conviction thereof, be
sentenced to Imprisonment for not less
than six months nor more than ten years,
and fine equal to the amount of money
embezzled."
If Babbilt should be elected therefore,
the question will necessarily arise, wheth-
err the Democracy will move the State
Senate down to Fl. Madison. or move the
State Pententiary up to Des Moines.-
One or the other must be moved, or the
country will be likely to lose the invalu-
able services of Mr.. Babbitt Which will
you do, gentlemen ?-Hawkeye.

Ev The Democracy, in view Of the
scoring their champion was to give Mr.
VANDEyER and the Republicans. made
desperate efforts to get up a furore. They
arranged that Liberty Township should
come up with four-horse teams loaded
with the faithful. with banners streaming,
colors flying, and band discoursing pa
triQtic strains. They finally overcame
the natural repugnance Of the band, who
are all Republicans, to head democratic
procession, and thought the matter finely
arranged. But one difficulty surmount-
ed, another arose. Where were the Dem
Ocrats to come from ? This, on Tuesday
morning. became an important question.
They sought long and anxiously for them
in Liberty Township, but 10 they were
not to be found. The wagons, with their
four prancing steeds, as promised, were
also missing, and when word came from
single member of the party in that be-
nighted Republican township Of Liberty,
that be could not be present with them.
they gave up the flags, and banners, and
wagons with four prancing steeds. in des
pair. Still, the leaders of the unterrifed
in this place had notified the unterrified
Of Liberty, who are all leaders, that they
would march out and meet them at Mr..
CoBB's and then putting their forces to-
gether, and the band at their head, they
would come into town in such number
as would make Republicans tremble in
their boots at the prospect next October.
Therefore the band must come. though
no procession came with it. Well, the
band came. and great was the anxiety OF
the half dozen democrats who accom-
panied il to get glimpse of the army OF
horsemen and footmen who were TO well
come them at Mr.. CoBB's. They strain
ed their eyes in looking ahead. and one
time fancied that they saw multitude OF
heads. but the objects proved. on nearer
approach, TO be nothing but the corn
which surrounds Mr.. CoBB's house.
They came on. but no Democracy, with
Haunting banners, greeted their expectant
gaze. They were disappointed, they were
cross, and as stimulation is always fol-
lowed by depression. they came into
town with plumes dragging, feeling very
much as if they had been engaged in q
grand 6zzle !; and not a strain would the
band give to enliven them. How they
feel after having seen their great lions
claws soEnicely clipped by his supposed
harmless opponent, We at present cannot
say.
