~ The new, and IS We think, very hand.
some and well-fnished types, upon which the
Hawk-Eye is now printed, are from the Chicago
Type Foundry, of which Mr.. D. L. Dodge is
Treasurer and business manager We consider
them far better, in every respect, than St. Louis
and Cincinnati types and little if at all, inferior
to those made by the best Philadelphia and New
York Founders To our fellow-craftsnen we
cheerfnlly recommend the Chicago Type Foun-
dry, believing that types bought of Mr. Dodge
will, in durability and finish, give entire satisfac
ton, with the advantage added of saving in
freight and exchange.

We made full breakfast this morning for the
first time, since the inroad of the immortal
twenty-five, into the Harpers Ferry Arsenal
Our only remaining anxiety now is, what shall
be done with Mr.. Niminger: Shall he be held in
reserve, for future dissolution, for which pres
ervation charcoal, corn whiskey, or any other
antiseptic, may BIC used; or do the financial ne
cessties Of the Palmetto State, require that he
shall be made convertible, at once If the last
Is imperative, let him be kiln-dried and ground
up into Cayenne pepper He would make a
condiment as pungent as Guinea capsicum and
as piquant as India curry Shall we no; have a

The CINCINNATI GAZETTE. is the leading
Republican paper in the West, and one which we
have read with pleasure and profit for the last
twenty-five years. 1t never exhibited more
ability in the editorial department even during
the life time of Charles Hammond, than at this
time. While its commercial reports, business
and statistical articles are full and give general
satisfaction among business men. The Gazette
reaches this city the next day after its pubIica-

should be glad to see it crcclate largely here and

Use OF MILITARY ScHooLs.-Some time since
the Rev. DR.. Cross, Of Texas, announced the fact
that a number Of military schools were under the
patronage of the Southern Church. The Pitts.
burgh Advocate seemed at loss to understand
the object of this arrangement. The Pacific
Advocate explains the matter in the following
manner: srr..
Perhaps the people in Texas are to be drilled
in military schools to enable them to expel
Northern Methodist preachers from that State
In that case, the anomaly is explained

Gen Henningsen has written letter to Can't.

ScoTr DECISION ?-Of course he did; but the
gentleman having denied the charge, and de-
nounced two of his colleagues who accused him
Of that grave offence against his Southern Mas
tiers, it may not be out Of place to furnish ad-
ditional proof on the question of veracity
raised by Davis. The indianapolis Journal
says -
We heard that speech. So did at least one
thousand other Republicans, for the anti-Le.
compton men formed but a small share of any
OF the anti-Lecompton meetings In this CITY in
those days. And we, and every Republican who
heard him, know that his speech was vehement
and unmeasured denunciation of the bred Scott
doctrine, that slavery could not be excluded
from a Territory till the formation of State
Constitution" We do not remember that he
used the words "Dred Scott" Probably he did
not. But his whole speech was denunciatien
OF what was understood by all parties, Republi-
cans and Democrats, in Indiana, to be the eff ct
OF the bred Scott Decision. We heard several
Republicans speaking of the speech as one Of the
best Republican demonstrations they had ever
heard, and more than one who had disagreed
with us in our policy of uniting Republicans
upon anti Lecompton Congressman in Democratic |
Districts, expressed themselves satisfied after
hearing that speech. They said Davis is good
enough Republican. We might have done worse
with man who professed more" This we know. |
Against this he has nothing to offer but the con-
temptible bubble that he did not use the words |
" bred Scott" We do not know or care how he /
construcs that decision but we do know that he |
denounced, as We never heard it denounced be-
fore or since, the construction which was placed
upon it by Democrats and Republicans both
When he dared to give the lie to men who heard
his speech he showed that he was caught his de-
ceit detected, and his policy exposed Porter
and Dunn drove him to his den. They did not,
and we respect them for it, retort his vile Ian
guage. But they both with manly firmness nut
aside his abuse, paid it no attention, and reiter
ated their declarations, thus leaving Mr.. Davis
N the pitiable position of having made himself a
oackguard, and exhibited his treachery without
irving his assailants one inch from their CALLING
position. So perishes John G. Davis from the

WHY DON'T TOT CREDIT 1.-THE Burlington
Hawkeys and the Dubuque Herald, and perhaps
other papers, have copied our report ofthe opin-
ions Of the Judges Wright and Stockton on coun-
y subscriptions TO railroads. Yet not the most
remote intimation Of Indebtedness to the Iowa
State Journal for which the report is made
There were four solid columns, carefully copied,
revised, put In type, and revised again. It cost
brains, money and al that, for which we should
have at least the simple justice of common
credit To this proposition no persons will as
sent more readily than our contemporaries above
mentioned Then why guilty Of such injustice,
gentlemen s-Des Noines Journel.
The editor of the Journal has been ruthlessly
despoiled And Is the spoilers stole that of
which he has the least, brains, he very naturally
feels bad. That he should print an opinion of
the Supreme Court, the copy being sent him by
the Court, 90 to the immense labor of reading
and revising the proof-sheets, and then loose the
tribute due 70 his enterprise and this immense
achievement, is too bad s'Four solid columns,
carefully copied, revised put in type, and revis-
ed again" And all this, which cost such ter
rible strain upon his intellectual machinery, cop
led without as much as saying by your leave!
Now we suggest to the State Journal man to
dry his eyes for fear he viii make himself ridicu
loua The credit was inadvertently omitted in
copying Judge Wnght's opinion, but was given
In that Of Judge Stockton mot because we thought
the Journals expenditure Of "brains" required it,
but because We believe in rendering unto Caesar

ty claim. tr

The DExocRAcY AND THE SrEAKrRsHp.
The Washington States, Democratic paper. in
speaking of the democrats for having voted for
Mr.. Maynard, SAYS:
In tactics it must be confessed, that We are no
match for our opponents They have purpose
while we resort to make shifts. Their can
didate is just as fresh in the esteem ofhs support
ers now as when he entered the arena Ours. en-
inent as were his qualifications, was forced to re.
tire, in order that inconsiderate experiments
might be tested South American diplomacy was
at the bottom oft, and South American diploma-
cy has succeeded in getting the Democracy into
such confusion that there is but little hope that
it will ever regain the position which it attained
on the first day of the session. There were per.
haps not less than twenty democratic members
who believed they could be elected by the odds
and ends which Mr.. Boeock had failed to unite.
Decisive expectation! But il had the effect to
influence the over-sensitive virginian to yolun-
tarily withdraw his weighty name from the con-
test. All has been chaos since in our ranks, and
50 will likely remain until the plurality rule shall
be adopted, when John Sherman will speedily be
conducted to the Speakers chair But when will
that occur, our anxious readers will inquires All!
