CouiAnse Buy Aim Oue.

w. II. Farmer, editor Of tho Council
Blufs Press, and formerly Of the Des
MONIES Citizen, has come out with a
long and decidedly severe de' unciation
If Senator Grimes, pitching into his
personal and political character with a
seal worthy OF nobier object.
Ia relation to the attempt made to
purchase himself, body and soul, the
doc" remarks:

been, and always expect and intend to
to be, if cannot make wealth without

approach me with bride, except the
tools Of Grimes. Having bought up
quite y number Of Republican editors
IN Iowa, they thought perhap, that

room in the office of the Citizen, in
Dcs Moines, whilst | WAS the editor Of
that paper, when in substance the fol-
lowing Infamous propositions were
made. These vile mercena:y wretches
said to me, "I'octor, would you not

sentence, the elevation to power Of any

yon demand Of me the support Of
Grimes 20 the Senate! Said they in
reply, the money necessary for the
purchase Of the press must come

other way.

From the Dubuque II raid


Iowa perhaps is the only State where
the German Republicans still stick to
the Black Republican party. In New

leading German Republican papers
openly denounce that party, warning
their friends not to trns, to those n.y.

lean papers. are now at war with the
Republican party. Almost every Ger.
man paper in Wisconsin, which has
defended Republication for the last
three years, is now opposed 10 the Re
publican nominations Of that State
Il general stampede has taken place
amongst those warm supporters OF the
Republican cause, and there is not the
least doubt that Wisconsin will give
next month large Democratic major

Of their brethren in other S ates,-
Let them read the following article.
which is translated from a German

CHALLENGE TO THE WoRLD.-We
were waited upon yesterday afternoon
by Mr.. VIM. Harding, Of this city, who
desires us to make public a challenge
which is only exceeded in its liberality
by its oddly. The proposition Of MIR.
Harding is to back Benjamin Smith
also resident of Cincinnati-aged 80
years, to run a foot-race with any man
in the world Of a similar age, one or
two hundred yards, for the sum of
$4,000. The person upon whom Mr..
Harding is anxious to risk his money
is we'll known here, and of class of
people remarkably young for their
age"-in these days Of fast living and
faster dying, class very limited in lis
numbcrs.--L incinndH Commercial.

HEAVIEST SPORTING WAGER on

be putting matters through with rush
just now, IN England. Orr London
papers bring intelligence that be has
mad, a bet Of 100000, $4,000
side, with Sir Joseph Hawley, that his
horse Umpire defeats Loiterer for the
Derby of 1850. Mr.. Ten Brock pur-
chased Loiterer when yearling, for
$25OO, and afterwards sold him for
$500, having won $4,000 with him in
. match in the meantime. He is half
brother to the celebrated Ssunterer,
but beyond his undeniable high breed
ing and promising appearance, there
is nothing in him to justify the high
opinion entertained OF his merits by
his owner. Umpire has proven him.
self frst-class horse. Sir Joseph
Hawley is the most experienced as
we'll as the most successful turtle in
England. Last year he carried of the
Durby with Beadsman and this ye' r
with Musjit. In fact the "cherry
Jacket" is oftener seen in front in the
more important races than any other,
and if Mr.. Ten Brock out general
the lucky baronet, he will have achiev-
ed feat which no other sportsman in
England has been able to accomplish.
The enormous extent of the wager, to-
gether with the chars cter Of the horses
engaged, will render the race the most
interesting that has taken place on
the English turf since Voltigeur had to
succomb to the Dntchman, and the
result will be looked for with ennal
anxiety on both sides of the Atlantic.

1t would take several of the oldest and
most respectable inhabitants to remember a
severer rain-storm than that which visited the
city last evening, between four and five O'Clock.
While it lasted the fall of water was prodgous
and was sufficient to fill many of our streets leve |
with the curbs, and some of them such as Schroeder
Fremont, Liberty others, which receive and
carry off the contributions of considerable sections
were entirely overfown. In most quarters the
water found its way into cellars. Even before the
rain had ceased, we noticed many anxious house
wives battling the food with tubs and brooms.
There would probably be great demand to-day
for Mr.. Hinesley's services, if stra,o bail would
swer, but in such cases horse bucket is much bet
ter than horse keeper. In fact if the water could
be discharged without bail, nobody would complain.
Will not Mr.. McAllister see about it? If he could
be made to imagine it was a rowdy he would be
sure to let it off.
