We learn from the Dubuque Herald that

Directors of the d. w Railroad and
Theo. krausch, of New York City, late
Engineer of the New York and Erie
Railroad, by which the Dubuque Western
Railroad is to be completed to Anamosa

Some OF the Locofoco journals and
speakers profess to be much exercised
about DR., j. 5. Prescott who, it is said,
is seeking to cclouize negroes near Spirit
Lake, in Dickson Co This is, probably,
one of the principal spasms of the party
leaders aspeeies of madness assumed at
intervals for the sake of reaching that
class Of whites who are upprehensive, las
Nourse says that they cannot be d'stin-
guished from blacks unless there is stat
uatory provisions regulating the matter.
BE that as it may, we have certainly no
objection to the middleton heaped upon
j. S. Prescott. He is the man who so
persis.cntly attacked Gov. Lowe for send
ing troops to Spirit Lake, aud charged
the settlers with securing this protective
force by fraud and falsehood. He was
then regarded as a very swift witness for
them by the Democratic journals, and his
letters were sought with avidity, as damn
ing evidence of the unwise action of a
Republican Governor. Their opinion OF
the DR. seems to have undergone change,
and they now charge him with destroy
ing timber and colouizing negroes. Well,
pabably they know all about the matter ;
and as we know very little; we shall have
to leave their old witness and the darl;
question to their exclusive care.--Ioea

Trading Votes.

Republicans should be careful how they
listen to proposals from the Democrats to
vote Tor some Of their candidates, the
Democrats agreeing 90 vote for some Of
tho Republican candidates, A large
portion of the democratic candidates
we're nominated with the understanding
that they were to be sold in order TO se-
cure the nomination OF two or three
Of their nominees. Already have propo-
si,ons been made to Republicans to trade
votes, but, We think, without much sue
cess. The ouly hope of the Democrats
is that BY trading; they may elect one,
two, or three Of their candidates. To
times past, they have succeeded in per-
suading some Republicans to vote for
some of their men, and thus elected them;
and these same men, elected by Republi
cans, have used their every effort to de.
stroy the Eepab!iean party, and to injure
all who uphold it. L. is time that Re-
publicsns should learn wisdom from their
opponents; they do not scratch off a name
because they have some personal objec-
tious to the man, aud Repuplicaus should
not scratch their tickets from any person.

will be impossible to keep up party or

learn wisdom from the past, and vote the

pable and honest, and deserve the sup
port Of all true Republicans. We know
that a thousand and one stories will be
told by our opponents, as heretofore; the
stories will have the same paternity as
their predecessors, aud should be set
down for naught.

a single vote in this County or some
other County in the State may elect u
single member of the Legislature, whose
single vote may decide the political char
a&tcr Of that branch Of the Legislature,
and thereby decide who shall be United
States Senator for six years. And that
United States Senator may in course de-
eide during the presidential term the
political character Of the United States
Senate by his votes. And if such Sc
ries Of events should occur, it is evident
that single vote might not only decide
the destiny of the Republican party, but
might even seal the fate of the country
We hold that there is sufficient prob
ability of one CT all these events involved
in the coming election to demand of
every patriot and honest man careful
consideration of the responsibility which
rests upon him, not only for his exertons
and influence, but for the casting of his
single vote on the day Of election No

4 SAMPLE or DEMOCRATIC EcoNQMY.
The Democracy made a terrible fuss about
the cost Of the Insane Asylum, and con-
tend that smaller and less expensive
building would answcrssthe purpose now,
and that, when necessity required it, ad-
ditioas could be made to it. The peni.
Tertiary at Fort Madison has been con-
structed according to this plan of Demo
cratic economy, and has already cost the
State over $500, 900, and will require
$500 900 to finish it, and when complet-
cd, will not be half the size of the Insane
Asylum, and unfit FOR the purposes of a
Penitcntiary. Before it is completed it
will be found necessary to erect a new
taiding. On the other hand, the Insane
Asylum, will be completed, and the pco,
pie will not be taxed every year to build
additions to it.-Colambns CITY Enter

The District Court, in this place, on

to show cause why he has not paid two

lature appropriated 81 200 to Scott, for
expenses incurred in preparing to move
the fixtures Of the Capital from Iowa
City to Des Moines. The proposition had
ut first been for 81 400, but it was amend
ed the last night of the session, and re-
duced to 81 200. The slip containing the
amendment was lost, it was supposed /;
rs the appropriation bill as enrolled BY
the clerk, stood at 81 400, as at first re.
ported. A large number of persons were
present and heard the amendment pass ):
among them was the Auditor of State. -
The mistake was not discovered however,
until the Legislature had dissolved. The
Auditor refused to allow but 81 200
Scott brought suit for the rest, and the
action in the District Court, already al.
luded to, is the result. Scott was the
leading Democrat in this county; yet FL
wood is base enough togo around charging
that Mr. Sells, the Secretary of State,
altered the figures in the appropriation
bill, so as to allow Scott 5000 more than
the Legislature intended. Ia order to
give the story FEASIBILITY he makes no
mention of SCOTS politics, suppresses
the fact that the money was never paid
and that Scott, by his attorney, {. G.

kinds was first rate. But tho number
WAS not as great as We expected. This

been more system and order in the ar
