directed TO call ior her, and her trunk left al

from y heater IN the cellar All the inmates

Of Josephine Ellison. Just A. she was been

her neatly lcitered trunk on board--but tbs

MED. II was hardly expected that de-

eating prominent Republicans in the
conspiracy; bat this, too, has happened.
The press has done its best to defend or
disown these leaders, according to the
dictates Of policy but they refuse to be
counted out. Senator Wilson said,
few days ago, at Syracuse :-"The
Harper's Ferry outbreak was the conse-
quencc of the teachings Of Republican
ISM" Now let the other leaders add
their testimony, aud all the witnesses 10
the Republican ranks will be needed to
prove that the Democrats have borne
false witness. A small portion Of the

THE GERMANS IN THE WRONG

1t appears 10 W. that the German
Republicans mus, be pretty well con
WINGED that they are in the wrong box.
Thew coslesced with the Republicans on
the slavery issue, being assured that
their pledges would be redeemed IN wsg
inc ..war to tho knife, and knife to the
hilt," against the "institu,ion' OF the
S. nth. Now when, by fortunate turn
Of events, the country has been apprised
Of the tendency Of Republicsni.m. and
the complcty Of its leaders in the trea'
sonable designs of the fsnaticai Adolf
tjonists under the direction Of Brown,
Cook, Coppie, Fred Douglass, kag', a
Co., the Republican wire-~orkers de-
sert their Geru AN allies, hoping thereby
to secure themselves from public or-
probrium. Truly, the German wing
the consistent wing-ot the Republl-
can party has been basely betrayed.
Again: the Republican Germans were
associated, in the recent political strug
giles, with another side wing of the Re
publican party, known as Know Moth
ings. This one Of the component parts
Of the Republican organization has
proven to be ''littIe sharper" than the
German wing. In many localities, as in
this, they THE X. N-s,) have SO managed
as tomonopoIze all the principal officers,
leaving the non aging ones for the Ger
mans. But the recent elections in Bal
timore exhibited, how dearly, the
the right wing Of Repulicanism esteems
the rights, interests and welfare Of the
left wing. Have the Germans read, in
the Republican press, any strong denun-
Citations Of the prescription Of their
brethren in the Monumental City! We
opine they have not.
Ia both Of the foregoing instances the
Germans are left solitary and alone. In
the former, they have been deserted by
those 10 whose service they enlisted in
good faith. In the latter, the proscrp-
ton Of their brethren has been silently
approved. In all candor, We ask the
Republican Germans if they do not
think they have got into the wrong box?

i've friends of . northern, middle or
southern route, ~ Of low must take our
chances. Casting an eye over the map,
and drawing q line between the great
commercial emporiums on the Atlantic
to San Francisco on the Pacific, We per
ceive that Iowa holds a favorable posi-
ton upon that line. It is difficult to
satisfy the judgment that, in this case,
'the farthsst way round would be the
nearest way home" II local interests
are not permitted to have an Undue in
fluence, AID expanded views that look to
the respective merits Of the competing
lines alone have their legitimate weight
in the selection of route, We cannot see
how Iowa can be urOtded.
Taking it tor granted that the great
trunk railway to the Pacific will be
started al some point on th. Missouri
river, on the western boundary Of Iowa,
Tie eye dl once, on an exam Hdti"H vi
the map, fixes upon Council Bluff as the
eligible point. AS logicians would say,
We may reason apriors in arriving at
the conclusion that Council Bluffs is the
proper point from which to start to the
Pacific coast.
The greatest Inconvenience exper-
fenced in transporting freight over a
long lice Of railroad is transhipment. 1t
is not probable that the Mississippi Kiv-
er will be spanned by bridge south OF
this city. The influence OF St. Louis,
New Orleans and other cities upon the
river, combined with the steamboat in
auence, will suffice to prevent the cree
ton Of any bridge over the Father Of
Waters, other than the one which has
been constructed at this point. This
taken in connection with the fact that
the Rock Island Bridge is on the line Of
the Mississippi L. Missouri Railroad now
being constructed through middle Iowa
to the Missouri River at Council Bluffs,
would seem to be a strong controlling
consideration 10 the location Of the Pa
ciic Railroad from the Missouri River
westward.
The project OF a railroad from the
Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean is one
which has been thoroughly discussed.
Volumes have been written upon the
subject, and the reading community are
conversant with it in all its aspects. The
press of the country, but more par
ticularly throughout the West, should,
by . concert Of action, direct public
attention TO the necessity of insisting
upon Congress taking some definite
action upon it during tho approaching
session. The question is not party
one. 1t is one upon which II ere can be
entire unity in feeling and in effort.
