Killers Letier..A Few Words Con-
ceUning Ii.

We publish this morning a reply of
the Hon. Daniel f. Miller to the attack
made upon him IN yesterday mornings
Gazette. We ask that it may be read
by Every Democrat, and especially by
every Republican. The developments
it contains will be found interesting cs-
peciaily to tax-pavers-to lovers of US.
tice, uprightnesss and honesty, every
where The facts therein contained are
open to contradiction. The gentleman
who thus charges bribery, corruption
and base fraud, is member of the Re-
pu llcnn party-a person who under
stands how matters have been conduct
ed, and VINO invites retutation. He asks
that the members of his own party
the papers OF his own pai ty-to con-
tradict successfully the statements he
has made.
We can imagine nothing more fair or
lust. These charges have all been made
before, but as vet the most mastery al
lence concerning them have been studi-
ously maintained. when rogues fall
out, honest men get taeiY dues" Here
we see dltferelt members OF the same
party at war with each other the one
accusing the other of the most damning
crimes in the thici's catalogue-a and the
accused party dare not deny word of
it-dsre not open their mouths in their
own defence. Why? Because they
know that the accusing party holds the
most indubitabe proofs OF their vilIainy
and Righteousness in his fists, and is
prepared to meet and confuse them at
any point.
We cal upon the voters Of Iowa to
look a. this matter The accusations
which are thus brought BY one Repub.
hcan against another are undouhtedlv
true, aud should be received as evidence
OF the dishonesty OF the Republican
party-shon,d be set down os nroot
positive that it is OF all parties tho mos,
corrupt, the most interruptions. tho
most unworthy of your SURFACES. Can
it be that party whose leaders are so
wantonly corrupt, so unscrupulously
base is honest aud reliable in itself9
Not at all. We judge Of party by the
acts Of the men who control it-by its
fruits-and by no other standard. The
honest men of the party are kept in
darkness by the tricks of the leaders,
who, even when asssiIed by an adversa-
~, dare not say word in sef,defence.
We think it would have been highly
proper for Mr.. Miller to have alluded to

MEssRs EDrroRs II have but a short
time to remain in your city, but will de-
vote few moments of it to answer the
virulent personal assault made on me
contained in the Gazette of this morn
ing, Those editors are old enough,
though they are evidently too deficient
in brains, to know that mere abuse
without any specific statement OF mpro-
prletv OF principle or conduct, proves
nothing. They ought also to know tn
mere praise of an individual where he is
charged with specific acts of misconduct
and reference made to public legisla-
tive documents to sustain these charges,
cannot be admitted as competent de-
fence.
1t has been specifically charged BY
many leading and honorable Democra
Of this State, and too have charged il
both IN public speeches and by publishei
articles over my own name, that Judge
Wright aud Gov. Crimes and Others
formed combination at the Legislative
session of lS55-6 to remove the Cam.
tol of Iowa from Iowa City to land
owned by them about a mile east of
DesMoines City-thst in furtherence OF
the conspiracy and common design,
Judge Wright drafted the bill for relo-
Cation and with especial cunning placed
the appointment of the five commits
sloners to make the relocation in the
hands Of Gov. Grimes-that that bill was
carried through the Legislature by the
most suspicious and questionable means.
that after the bill was passed Gov.
'rimes appointed four commissioners,

appointment interested with him and
