Republican Club.

The meeting of the LINCOLN and HAMLIN
Club on last Saturday evening, was well at
tended, and many new names enrolled on
the books Of the organization. During the
day a large banner, 9x15 feet, hung out OF
one of the front windows of the block in which
the Club meets, bearing the inscription " Re-
publican Head Quarters" and in the evening
a transparency, with the words, !" Republican
Wigwam--M Meeting this Evening" gave notice
to all who Travelled Main street and whether
by this means, or in consequence Of an awake

largely attended, and a more earnest spirit
manifested, than at any previous meeting

The Cattle Plague.

We feel good deal of interest in regard to
this disease, as it is spreading and it may lind
its way to our Valley; and for these reasons
we are anxious to give all the information we
can gather in relation to the matter. The
committee of the two houses of the Legisla-
ture Of Massachusetts,, have been occupied
eight days in taking testimony. The evidence
before the committee is, that it is apparent
that the disease is contagious, and SO insidu-
GUS in its attacks, SO difficult Of discovery in
its first stages, and so fatal in its termination,
as to warrant stringent measures to arrest its
progress, and to protect the great interest ex-
posed to its ravages. We have not the room
this week to give detailed account, but will
in our next weeks paper give all the infor-
nation we are possessed of, so thatwe can be
on our guard.

BALTIMORE, June 10.

BALTIMORE, June 10.
Midnight Special Dispctch.-The Commit
tee ON Credentials have decided to report in
favor of the admission Of the Southern dele
CATION Of Louisiana.
Caucusing has been literally carried on to-
night.
The Douglas men have made tremendous
rally, having been in consultation all the eve
ming at Beverly Johnson's.
The high tone assumed by the Southern
delegates, and their loud dcnunciation Of the
New York delegation, has apparently Gre
ated reaction among the latter. The talk
is, that if the Southern seceders are admitted
it will only lead to new difficulty; that they
will then put on arrogant airs and bolt again,
after being admitted. 1t seems more likely
now than last night that the New York dele
CATION may uphold and support the report
admitting the whole South or the Douglas
delegation from louisiana, and that then all
the other scccders will refuse to come in
This may after all lead to the nomination of
Douglas.
A difficulty of a personal nature occurred
between two Virginia delegates, and a pistol
meeting has been agreed upon. One of the
parties is SUPPOSED to be Mr.. Yost or Mr..
Moflitt the Douglas man the name of the
other is unknown. The particulars are care
fully concealed, but it is known that Mr..
Prayer was sent for as friend Of the parties,
and he arrived to-day. Rumor says that a
meeting is arranged for tomorrow, from the
fact of the sudden arrival Of Mr.. Pryor.
BALTIMORE, June 90
Mcssrs. Avery of North Carolina, Sauls-
bury of Delaware, and other Southern dele
gates, waited on Mr.. Dean Richmond, Chair
man of the New York Delegation, to-day,
with proposition to admit all the seeding
delegations with the understanding that no
candidate be nominated who was voted for at
Charleston. This would exclude Messrs.
Douglas, Hunter, Dickinson, Lane, and Guth-
RE. 1t is not probable that tho proposition
would be accepted.
There is no foundation for the reports that
the Douglas delegates have made any threats
Of withdrawal from the Convention under any
circumstances.
1t is rumored that the delay in report of
the Committee is designed to embarrass the
Seeding delegatcgation who have to meet to-
morrow in Convention at Richmond, in
rebellion agrinst the Democratic organiza-
ton, whilst still seeking admission into the
Democratic Convention.

FRANK BLAIR REslGNs.-In the fall Of 1868

FRANK BLAIR REslGNs.-In the fall of 1868
FRANK BLAIR was the Republican nominee
for Congress, in the ST. Louis District of
Missouri. BY the polling of some eight humid
red fraudulent votes, BARRERT, the Demo-
cratic candidate was elected. Mr.. BLAIR has
contested his election, and last week the
House by vote of SO to 81, declared him
rightfully entitled to the seat then occupied
by Mr. BARRETT. Instead of entering upon
the duties of the Office, and thus ending the
matter, Mr.. BLAIR has resigned, with the in
tention Of letting the two parties again bring
forward their respective nominees, and by a
fair election let the people decide who shall
be their. Representative This course pur-
sued by Mr.. BLAIR proves conclusively that
it is not the "loaycs and fishes" that he is
after. There was principle of right involv-
ed, and nov that that is settled, and the
claims of Justice vindicated, Mr.. BLAIR is
willing to forcgo the honor he is justly en-
titled to enjoy, and again ready to enter
the field, and rest the result upon the justice
of his cause, and an interrupted ballot box.

Covode Committee.

1t seems as though the revelations of Dem
ocratic corruption brough to light by the in
vcstigations of this Committee should be
enough to drive every honest man into the
Republican ranks, and thereby secure the
election of true man at the head of the fed
eral government, and let us have an honest
and economical administration for the next
four years. Ballot-stuffing, bribery, pecu-
lation, malfeasance in office, and fraud and
corruption in every branch of the executive,
have bea6the Distinguishing features Of Dem
ocrati( c. the last few years, especial
ly the H. ht@ The people owe this Com
mittee debt Of gratitude for bringing to
light, and fully proving, that this once great
party is at the present day unworthy the
support of honest men. When the execu-
tive power is Frustrated to merely reward
friends and punish enemies; when the U. s.
treasury is open to every political brawleI
who will echo, and strive to enforce, the
monstrous and perfidcous views of corrupt
to the detriment of the masses
when the country is being plunged into debt
at an alarming rate in times of peace, and pub
lie money appropriated without stint to i'm
port votes into doubtful localities, and bribe
canvassers to make false returns award con-
tracts for public works and supplies to polt-
ical friends, at rates exceeding by thousands
of dollars, just and fair compensation, when
responsible parties stood ready to do the
same work for half the money, when all this,
and more, is considered, how can man stand
up and contend that Democracy is worthy
the support of honest men? 1t cannot be
contended that these are merely Black-Re-
publican assertions, got up for political cap
ital. Every charge is sustained by strong,
undeniablc proof.

For the GazcSte.
Song For Prairie Land.
TuSR-"The Aitrseilles Hymn"

BY J. CLEMENT.
Again, We friends of Freedom rally;
Arm, arm to yindcate her cause;
Then forth TO battle bravely sally,
Nor fail to win the worlds applause.
The tyrants who with shameless daring,
Would blight with slaves our Prairie Land,
Prepare to meet, and hand to hand,
Contest the ground with fearless bearing.
Free winds the prairies kiss,
Free men here happy toll,
And ever shall our watchword be,
FOREVER FREE THIS soIL.''
Yes, Freedoms broad and beauteous banner,
Which called our fathers forth to arms,
Must wave DER every green savanna,
Where Nature spreads her matchless charms.
Since Democrats, obedient ever
To Tyranny, at his behest,
Would stain these gardens" of the West
With blood of bondmen-mad endeavor,
We friends of Justice, arm!
And firm, unilinchng stand:
Then Freedoms flag shall ever wave
Der all this Prairie Land.

Judge Bates Letter.
ST.. LOUIS, May 1,

ST.. LOUIS, May 18.
The Democrat of tomorrow will contain
Judge Bates letter in support Of the Chicago
nominees. After disclaiming that he feels
any piaue or dissatisfaction in not being nom.
mated himself, he says it is plain that the ap.
preaching contest must be between the Dem.
ocratic and Republican parties, and he pre-.
fers the latter party. He says it has merged
its existence in the one idea Of negro slavery.
1t is wholly sectional, and has in various in.
stances endangered the equality of the coor.
dinate branches of Government, attempted to
degrade the judiciary by striving to make II
the passive instrument Of party DEGREES in
most if not all things. He considers the Re
publican party the opposite Of the Democrat
ic, and therefore entitled to his support, and
this would be sufficient reason for his sup
porting any man whom the party might pu,
forward, if he had not other good reasons fol
supporting Lincoln. The Union party he
considers too weak to elect any candidate OF
establish any principle. He had known Lin.
coin for more than twenty years, and hi
Uincoln) has carried high reputation fol
truth, candor, courage, morals, and amiabili
ty. That he has talents, and will use them
to the best advantage, is unquestionable. Ht
is now in the full vigor of manhood, and his
honest pride has made himself what he is
the peer of the first men of the nation; will
be able to sustain himself and advance his
cause against his adversary, and in any field
where mind aud knowledge are the weapons
used. In brief, he considers him sound
safe, national man, who couldn't be sectional
if he tried, for all his feelings and interests
are identified with the great valley Of tht
Mississippi, and that for the good of the whole
country he hopes he may be elected.
The letter is very able, and has given great
satisfaction to such of his Republican friends
as have seen it.

The Louisville Journal speaks as follows Of
the Republican candidate for the Presidency:
"Mr. L. is genial, delightful, and high
toned gentleman, whose pleasant hopitality
we have enjoyed; and, although we think
him in great error in some Of his political
opinions, we have as much confidence in his
patriotism as we have in that of any man ex-
cept ourselves-we being the only persons
that we can kno,o to be patriots. If Lincoln
and Douglas were the only candidates in the
penping contest, we should no doubt decide
to take no part between them; and yet we
believe that Lincoln is . much more honest
and straightforward politician and man than
Douglas, and that he would act as President
with sincerer regard for the purity of the
Government and the welfare of the nation. y

HORIZONTAL Wells.

The following, from our California cores
pondent, should have been published in adj
dition to his communication in last week.
issue, but was Internationally overlooked:
In California are hundreds of what may be
termed "horizontal wells" These are the
tunnels run into the hills for mining purposes.
Every tunnel affords running stream, or
spring, of water, though there is, of course,
a great difference in the amount, owing to
the length of the tunnel, the nature of the
ground, an d depth below the surface. Where
the tunnel is run in rock the amount of wa
ter flowing from it is generally greater than
in gravel, and in gravel the supply is greater
in main leading ridge than in small gravel
knoll, and in any gravel hill most water is
found where the tunnel is at, or near, the
head of aravinc. From some Of these tunnels
will flow quite little brook of excellent wa
ter, while from others but few inches.
do not remember to have ever seen one that
did not afford some water, sufficient for house
hold purposes at least l have no doubt but
a good supply of running water could be OBJ
tanned in this way in very many places in
Iowa. 1t would not be very expensive to try
the experiment. There is no danger in cav
ing, in running the drifts in any compact
gravel, as they will stand long time even
where they are not timbered, but for wells
they should be arched with stone or timber.
The price here, in the gravel, is about five to
six bits per foot, for drift five feet high,
four and half wide; but for wells they need
not be so wide. am confident that in many
places in Iowa, good never falling springs can
be obtained by drifting in not over fifty to
eighty feet and part of this (the first starting)
will be an open cut. DAN De GUILE.
