TnAf CAKH AGAM.-The editor OF the Ottum
va Democratic Union, devotes whole column
Of his valuable paper 70 discussion Of the Cal
question, and abuse Of the editor Of this jou.
nal.
We have heretofore stated that We had receiv
ed . Cake from the Ladies Of Ottumwa, expires
ave Of their appreciation Of our remarks in rela
tion to the foul murder committed in the vicini
ty Of that city, and what We conceived the gros
negligence Of the c6scials thereaboutA We hav'
nothing to add to what We have said, and moth
ing to retract We believe that ordinary dill
gence and exertions promptly put forth woult
have resulted in the immediate arrest Of th'
murderer Negligence suffered them to escape
at least for the present.
The editor Of the Union appears to be anxious
for cake himself 1t is to be hoped that taos,
ladies who appreciate his exertions will mot fai
70 tender him the reward he seeks.
a. That the Unions defence Of the officials
Of Ottumwa for their criminal ncglsct to use eli
cient means to arrest the murderers Of Laura
Harvey, does not meet with the views Of the
people Of that place, ~ have substantial proof
in the shape Of larger, finer, richer cake than
that We were before favored with. It came on
Saturday and bore in neat, raised characters upon
the outside, the following inscription:
"PIcK OLD F.rxr AGAIN."
We accept this o. q new proof of the appre.
citation which the citizens of Ottumwa have of
our prompt condemnation Of the laxity and su-
pineness Of the County Judge Of that county
Not until the Sd inst. did his announcement ap-
pear, offering . reward Of 81 900 for the MUIR
derers, and not one cent Of that money offered
by himself. Tie Governor contributing one
half and the people of Ottumwa the remainder.
II the County Judge had done his duty, and
given suitable reward at the time Of the dis
covery Of the murder, the perpetrators would
long since have been arrested and justice would
have been done, but through his negligence and
ineficiency, the murderers were permitted to run
almost two months, ere he published the reward
for their arrest. The Union says we have ira
dnced the character Of the people of Ottumwa.-
This, the editor knows is false. The citizens
have done all in their power to arrest the muir
derers and raised the means to send out detec-
tves for that purpose, but the Judge, the official
source from which the assistance should have
been derived, continued silent and inactive, un-
til public opinion forced him to act This we
have stated before, and that our statements have
met with the approval Of the citizens Of Ottum-
wa, We have the additional proof mentioned
above.
IMMORTALITY BY SCIENTIFIC PROCESS. There
is an old French comic picture Of machine for
rejuvenating human bodies by grinding them
over. Bent and wrinkled old men and women
are pitched into the hopper and come out at the
bottom of the mill, blooming and lively and ready
to begin life afresh. A French Savan named
Flourens, member of the Academy, has become
enthusiastic over the idea that the object Of the
mill can be realized by . scieti6c process. Put.
ting together the two facts that bones are some
times renewed by nature where their membran-
Gus covering Is left intact, and that animals are
SO cropped that they are made to grow large In
those parts of the body which furnish the most
valuable beef, as the loin and rump, he infers
that the body may be renewed, piece by piece,
bone after bone and muscle after muscle, and %
be thoroughly rejuvenated. BY this operation n.
Flourens proposes to remedy bodily defects, and
improve bad forms, and ultimatly very much pro-
long life. But nothing seems to be said about
the repair Of the internal organs. A man could
not very well get along without his old stomach
Row IT LooKs.-The following tit-bit, which
we find in the Kcokuk Journal of the 5th inst,
furnishes slight indication of the feelings gen.
orally evoked among Northern Democrats by the
conduct of their Southern allies. Itis, however,

Four years ago, the Cincinnati platform was
adopted to the entire satisfaction Of the North
and the South. 1t embraced the principle oi

reiterated in the passage OF the Kansas Nebrasks

elected President. Now, when the Convention a1
