about a strings length from Davenport:

time telling him that Smart and another man,
had been speculating lately in coffee, and
had ct that time very poor lot on hand and
that he must look sharp and not let the land
lord palm off a poor article in place of
his good aack. Stevens thinking he was up
to snuff" took the order and started off for his
property. Having arrived st the hotel he pre-

went TO closet and taking out the sack, was
about delivering it to Stevens, when the latter

him to clear out, he should not have it.
After Stevens had left, Smart and another
man, who had been sitting by. jumped into .

Carrs counsel oved for a new trial, which, a.

granted. In the mean time, Smart had been

! THE LATE ELECTIONs.-Th tele-
graph which always seems to be in the hands
or under the control Of the Opposition, fur
nishes US with such meager returns from New
York, that, as yet, the result in that state 10
not certainly known. But enough las been
received TO show that If the Democratic state
ticket has no. been elected, the Republicans
have suffered most wofully in the fight. and had
| their former tremendous majorities there cut
down to . mere nc thing. Fremont carried the
state three years ago by 10000 Republican
majority, and Gov. Morgan was elected by
nearly the came majority year or % ago over
| Amasa j. Parker. And now if their Gazing
candidate Lea orth. the Republican nom-
inee for Secretary Of State elected at all, hs is
barely elected BY from t.co 10 three hundred.-
This s considerable of drop. No wonder the
Republican organs keep rather shady about
the New York election. They are remarkably
silent about the great falling off at the late
election in their rnajorities
As for this state, which they claim as being
so strong Republican state. each succeeding
year their inajorities become simmer and slim
mer. Since 1884 the Democracy have fought
them gallant fight in Iowa.
Under q series of defeats for the last five
wears the Democracy of Iowa have kept their
party together, have rallied around them lead
ers, and each successive election have poiled an
increased vote. The party have no cause for
dependency nor despair. In the recent cleo
tion, they did nobly. We have completely
revolutonzsd the northern part Of the State,
and changed Clayton, Delaware, Winneshiek
and Bremen counties We have gained largely
in the Legislature and in the county officers all
over the State. Fremont carried Iowa three
years ago by from 5000 to 10000 majority.
Now the Republican State ticket has not more
than $500, and has fallen IF nearly 500 from the
majority it had in the State election one year
ago. This certainly does not look as if the
Republican party was making very large and
rapid gains.
The Democracy have no cause to despair
On the contrary, we have every reason to hope
for success We are united; we are organized;
we have kept our party not only together. but
have gained on the enemy each succeeding
year f,r the last four or five. 1t only requires
3 change Of 800 voters to give Us the State
Twenty eight hundred majority in vote OF an
hundred thous nd in II strong Republican State
is rather slim.

6 The Shareholders Conventions, -,
In EvspI,,y p,s4

The Maryland Shareholders Convention. Of
which We give report Of the preliminary pro-
ccedings is not all that it purports to be, and
requires little explanation.
10 be brief, it is nothing more than conven-
tion Of disappointed democratic politicians, who
are less concerned for their nominal otject-the
prevention Of negro stealing-than for their own
resurrection at the coming election. The head
Of the movement appears to be the whig ex-
Senator, james A. Pearce, who was permanently
retired to private life for his recreant dcsertion
Of lis anti buchanan friends i'll Maryland. He
wishes to ride into power on hobby which has
already been ridden to dcnth-negro- -phobiu.
The delegates, for the most part, nrc Belf:con~
stituted, aud from three counties no mcn were
found who lad brass enough or interest enough
in Tue Convention to attend its deliberations
Even the Convention, when assembled, were so
struck With sense Of their ridiculous preten-
s,ons, tuat they abandoned the name Of Slage-
holders Convention, under which they were
summoned, and called themselves Il convention
for the proper regulation Of the colored people
Of the state.
They we're also mortified TO find that tic COM
n,erciaI and in fur, anti-slavery city Of Balti
more, which they had honored By selecting it as
delegate, and the Baltimore press joined with
the influential press Of tue rural districts in b. ID
ing the movement up to r1dlcule.
As for the FIRE negroes whom it is proposed to
regulate, the Baltimore Patriot intimaies that
they sht US well be let alone, remarking:
''1n this city We hare more-coosiderab1y
more-thun one l.alf Of the free coored popa.
la1ion Of this State. The returns Of the saying
banks, the conditions Of the churches and SO
cities supported by them, evincc their perfect
ability 10 take crrc Of themselves where they
have IN opportunity for employment aud EN-
brace it. We do not need the care Of gentle
men from the counies for our protection in this
matter here. Tie thing takes care Of itself
