The Republicans had appointed meeting at
Germanvills In this county, where there y
large settlement Of German citizens, who had
expressed wish to hear the eloquent Hon.
Nicholas J. Rusch. Consequently Mr.. Rusoh
with . number Of his friends from Fairfield,
went to 0ermanvills, and lol the ubiquitous
Schads was there also. II now appears that
Echade obtained horse and buggy, with Ooa-
diah % driver, who feeling bonorsd BY Schads's
notice Of him, drove Schade oat and back In
true John Gilpin style, much less for the well
being Of the horse than for the satisfacsion Of
echade and the complaOsnt sslf-sasis6ed Oba-
diah, the driver. II was amusing TO notice ooa-
dish, who swore that schads was gentle
man and q true Democrat. Those who have
ever seen Schads know that be 10 "6dgetty,"

unaccountable to those who we're not in the

shall be his attaehs when Schade goes a. Min.

Obadiah! long may thy 'journey Of day" to
Germanville wavel The first thing Schade did
at Germanville was to call for whiskey, and
while be liquored, Obadiah stood at respect
full distance behind him, looking awe struck a
the manner great men take horn. Soon after
this Schade declared his intentions there and
then to demolish Rusch and the Republican
party il they would let him do all the speaking
Out Of sheer kindness for Obadiah, who is vel
enough in his way, the Republicans consented
to let Schade talk an hour. The demOralized
Democracy are welcome to al the good hi
speech did them. 1t would be hard to report I
speech that had nothing in it. Like begets like

he is true representative. Of Democracy. how
fallen is Democracy. He is beneath the dignity
of serious notice, and too low to heed reproof
Hon. N. J. Rusch is another kind Of q man. II
draw any comparison between him and Schad'
would be an insult to Rusch, who is an honor
able representative of eur high toned, educated
and refined German citizens.
In the evening of the same day Of the meeting
at Germanville, Col. Saunders and Mr.. Ruscl
spoke to the people in Fairfield; the people wer'
there to hear, the house was full-all went Of
satisfactorily to the Republicans. The sam,
night Obadiah and others got up bonfire TO

TIE BRIGADrrR AND HIS SERVANTS ON THE1l
TRAvELs-A RIDICULOUS SHow.-We cut tn,
following account of Gen. Dodge and his travel
ling companions from the Sigourney Life in tn,
West OF last week:
Gen. Dodgeis accompanied in bis electioneerinl
tour BY retiuue of drunken loafers who woulG
disgrace the lowest doggery in the State
Amongst them is Will Timllnson, who is re-
porter for the State journal, but who was 8,
drunk when here that he was not able to z,
to the court house to hear the speeches Whel
he arrived at the Clark House he demande,
to know if that was . democratic house. Oh
being answered in the negative, he swore tina
, he wonld not stop at q republican house. II
the meantime the ostler had seated himself il
the buggy with the intention of taking charg
of the horses but Mr.. Tomlinson's democratic
scruples, were not to be overcome by an Ostles
!, and he insisted on going to q democratic house
The ost!er finally told him that he would TAX
him to such a one, and started towards tn
barn. At this stage Of the proceeding one o
Mr.. T.'s associates interfered, took him from tn
buggy, and carried him to bed, where he re-
NAMED till supper time. His report of tn
speeches at Sgonrney will no doubt be an en-
tertaining paper for the Iowa democracy.
. It is the business Of another Of the General
retainers-we have forgotten his name-to rea,
the Generals speeches, delivered in Congress
some ten years since, while the General rest
{ in his harangues. This retainer was not 81
drunk Is Tomlnson, but too much fuddledl i
} read intelgibly, if, indeed, he ever could read
Another, r. r. Harbor, accompanied Nj
Dodge, We suppose to take care Of his horses
: Is We know of no other service in which b.
could be useful in political campaign.
The fourth, We suppose blacks the General
boots, dresses and undresses bis master, carrie
; his traps, &c.
+ To unsophisticated Republicans the Who'll
retinue and their performance were supremel
ridiculous.
: GEN. DoDGE NOT AN OFFIcE-SEEKER.-Whil
i speaking at Stgourney the other day the Briga
e der informed bis hearers that he never ha
+ been An office.seeker! Their little favors had
t as Shskespear says, been thrust upon him. /
illustrating this matter the Sgourney Life in th
9 West remarks:
e Gen Dodge declared that he had never sougt
J., an Office. That declaration may do in som
a places, but amongst the old settlers Of Keoku
county it Was heard with sneer. They coul
remember the session of the General Aseembl
Of Iowa for the year lS46-47, when Mr.. Ma
shall, of Lee county, attempted to bribe Nelso
. King, the Representative from this county, Z
vote for Gen. Dodge for the United State
Senate; and how the Mr.. Marshall aforesaid es
