The Looofoco Representative from this
District, Gus Hall, nisrspresented the
interests of his constituents BY his subser-
viency to the President and tho shareholders
during his Congressional career. The peo-
pie Of the District thsreupon manifested their
dissatisfaction, condemned his course, and
dismissed him from Congress by an emphat-
10 vote.
The President, however, in accordance
with well understood policy, rewarded his
treschery to his constituents by sppointipg
him to the lucrative and honorable position
OF United States District Judge ia Nebras-
ka Territory.
Gen. Dodge, the then Senator'fr Iowa.
instead of representing the feelings and in
terests Of his own State, followed the lead
OF Toombs and Dixon, two slaveholding
Wing Senators, and voted to remove the
nne.honored barrier against Slavery exten,
sion. The State Of Iowa, indignant at his
shameful dessrsion and betrayal Of tn.
cause OF freedom and tho rixhts and inter.
ests OF the free white men Of the North
drove him ignominiously from her serviee.-
The President, however, acting - leader an
trustee Of the slavsholders, rewarded hin
with the appointment Of Minister to Spain
and gave him $57 900 for his vote for To
repeal OF the Missouri compromise prohibi
sion Of Slavery.
Senator Jones, in tho face OF the almo,
unanimous sentiment of the people Of low
OF oil parties, voted for ths Lseompton bi
to impose Slave Constitution upon the pee
pie OF Kansas in spite Of the protest Of fou,
nfths Of the people of that Territory. An
the President rewarded him with . missio
to Bogota, st salary Of 1880.
Now, there Is no way Of evsding the COZ
neotion Of these facts. Had not those vote
been given in opposition to the sentiments Q
their constituents, and in compliance Wit
the wishes Of the President, those luerativ
appointments would not have been bestowe
on Hall, Dodge and Jones'. Hence, tho oil
hceseekers Of the North are given to 81
and realise that it pays to eight the battle
OF Slavery" and to enrol their names on th
list OF subservient doughfaces.
Ia We arc requested to state that jude
Loves salary 10 only $4,000, instead
$4,000. In tight times like these, the diffel
ence 10 considerable to the individual, thous
it does not initiate ct oil against the drift ,
our argument. Wefear tho Judge don't Z.
HE fightfal share, for We see that tho FRO,
amount Of salaries for District Judges ia Il
several States, provided BY the appropriate
Law passed last winter, is $llO,75o. An
besides it 10 rather chs0pening the Judgesh,
TO make tho salary precisely the same vi,
that OF tho DoOrkeepsr Of the Senate. Pc
sibly the difference 10 oil owing to localit
and tho "gumption" that suf6ces to open ..
shut door for the Slavsocratic nabobs
the Senate ct Washington il really worth ju
- largea compensation as that required /
expound the law and administer Justice /
the 'smud-sills'' Of Iowa.
