TEN THOUSAND WIDE AwAKEs AT CHICAGO.
The Chicago Journal says ten thousand
Wide Awakes were in the line of procession
in that city on the night of the great demon
stration in honor of Mr.. Seward. The sight
must have been grand and imposing beyond
description. The Journal remarks:
"The gay uniforms, fluttering flags and
waving banners the various transparencies
with significant notices and devices; the
rails, mauls and axes; the cars cf industry,
with sturdy Germans at work; festooned
wagons of children; the firm and measured
tread of ten thousand men, moving in military
exactness; the stirring music of scores OF
bands aud drum corps; the deafening shouts
and thunders Of applause from the thousands
who thronged the streets to witness this great
triumphal pageant, presented scene, the like
of which we have never witnessed before, anc
will be recorded as one Of the largest and
most enthusiastic political professions evel
| formed in the United States.
ut was the gathering Of the clans of free
dom, about to march to glorious although
bloodless victory. While it was amagnihcen
and deserved tribute of welcome and respec
to that great statesman and glorious defende
of our Republican faith whose presence ha
invoked it, it was no less an omen of tn
triumphal march of November, and prestig
iof victory" g.a ze ..g-aa

CoRRUPrINe H1sToRY.-Mr. Douglas, in
speech at Syracuse, New York, when2asked
by one of his audience to explain Mr.. Jefrer
sons views of the ordinance Of 1857, was
guilty of the objectionable discourtesy Of
mputing to the inquirer ignorance, or dis
position 10 ''interrupt the meeting by putting
q silly, useless question" He then proceeds
to explain to the inquirer and to the "crowd
what the opinions of Mr.. Jefferson were" and
says: "Mr. jefferson had nothing to do with
the ordinance of 1887 at all. He was Minister
to France when the ordinance Of 1887 was
adopted in New York. History does not
record that he knew anything about it at all
until after it was adopted"
1t is true that Mr.. Jefferson was in France
in 1857, when the ordinance was adopted !;
but, so far is it from true that he had nothing
to do with the ordinance of 1887 at all, that it
was proposed and reported by him to Congress
in 1854, three years before it was finally
adopted, with this only difference, that Mr..
Jefferson's prohibition in 1884 was prospect
i've, and that of 1887 Immediate.

Two Horsc.Thieves Lyncled and
Hung i'm Arkansas.

FoRr SIXTH, Ark, Oct. 4.
This afternoon at about O'Clock, Gil.
liam, alias Owen, formerly Of Johnstown,
Bates county, Mo-, was hung at this place,
for horse-stealing, in the presence OF q large
eoncourse of people. He was arrested some
weeks since and an effort made to hang
him, during which he broke away from the
rope and was shot down while in the act of
escaping. His wounds were serious and
medical treatment was afforded him. AS
soon as bis injuries would admit of his
removal, he was taken to the county Jail at
Greenwood, whence he escaped last night.
To facilitate his flight, he stole another
horse, but was retaken this morning at Van
Buren,, and returned to this place, when
summary punishment was again determined
on. he was led to tree, with the fatal
moose adjusted around his neck Seeing no
hope of escape, be confessed bis guilt and
manifested c0ntrition for his past deeds and
sought forgiveness at the throne OF mercy
in q feeling prayer, and earnestly called
upon those present to be monished by the
example befora them. He was then hung
up and tho tragedy was concluded.
Scarcely had these proceedings closed,
when another prisoner was brought into
town, charged with the same offense. He
was examined on the street, and confessed
the crime of which he was accused. He was
then hurried to the fatal spot and soon
swung BY the side Of his brother in crime.
The second victim was Choctow half.
breed named Shoat The bodies will not be
taken down until to morrow. The citizens
have become greatly inccnsed against horse
thieves, as Of late their offenses have been
bold and numerous, and the operation Of
the law on these frontiers is known to bs
slow and uncertain. E..~ t- ~. 70

H- In his speech, at Wsukon. recently,
Ben Samuels is reported to have made the
following remarks:
"But my friend Vandever will say that
slavery is great moral evil, and for that
reason ought to be prohibited. Gentlemen,
I have vet to learn that human government
has anything to do with morals. That is =
matter for the church, for the family and
social circle" ff5
We always thought Ben was too honest to
be Democrat, but this confession is the
cap-sheaf Of his unsophisticated wisdom. All
observing men have long since been convinced
that the Democra tic party, while in power
did not suffer itself to be influenced BY any
moral considerations. .ssg s3G7aa ia

Charles G. NOurse.

The Republicans Of Muscatine have reason
to be'proud of their candidate for Attorney
General, and ashamed of their own neglect
and remissness in relation to the meeting
Wednesday night. Mr.. Nourse spoke for an
hour and half, to quite small but unusually
attentive and delighted audience. We wish
for their own sakes as we'll as out of respect
to Mr.. Nourse that all onr Republican fel
low citizens of this county could have heard
his speech Out of the many political
speeches that have been made in our city
during this campaign, that of Mr.. Nourse
was in some important respects the most
pointed, convincing and interesting. We
have heard no speaker in our State who,
while he took broad, distinctive and fearless
grounds upon all questions and especially
upon the tender one of slavery, where SO
many are towards, in the same sta tement
so boldly stated his own position, and so COM
pletely disarmed his opponents a. Mr.. Nourse,

which he exposed the miserable calumnies
II Douglas in regard to the Declaration of
that it merely referred to
British subjects and not to "all men" as it
Jays, will be remembered by those who heard
him as an example of the faculty which he
possesses as speaker. His argument with
reference to the Homestead Bill and the
sve-:erritorial question was the ablest,
,learest and most concise exhibit Of Repub.
ican doctrine on those points that we have
istened to in Iowa. Mr.. Nourse shows
rood sense and good taste in refraining

PREMIUMS ON PRINTING AND BrND1Na.-We
observe that Sanders & Bro, of the Daven.
port Gazette, were awarded the premium of
$40 ut the Iowa State Fair for the best
printed newspaper. The award was justly
made. We doubt whether there is another
daily paper in the United States which uni
formly presents better typographical ap-
pearance than the Gazetts A volume of
the Gazette printed in 1S4l was also exhibited
at the Fair, which presented the same neat
and unexceptionable appearance. The
praise is mainly due to Mr.. Davis, who, for
nearly twenty years, has been foreman in
the Gazette Office.

took three premiums on job printing, te
