PnQrEUry.-T U. 5 Appraisers Office at
San Francisco, under the new Republican
management, is bearing down very heavily
upon the importers of Wines and Liquors.
The San Francisco papers contain letters lrom
heavy importing firms, showing that their
property is undergoing sad reduction at the
hands OF Mr. Appraiser Zane, who recently
took occasion to say, in public card, that he
would appoint no subordinate, who was not
known TO be ga straight Republican. The
Morning Call thus conlenses the complaint.

The French merchants we learn from the
Le rhgre make n serious complaint against
the present Appraisers Department. 1t is
alleged that a greater amount Of samples are
taken from the goods imported, than is ncces-
sary. That paper charges them with taking
from each package, received per Ashland
aud q" Jean Goujon," sample, irrespective Of
their having already one sample of The goods
in their possession. it is alleged that the
Appraisers have helped themselves as follows;
from 81 baskets of champagne, imported by
Z. Maury. Jr they took 81 bottles from i1G
eases Of oil. imported by Abel Guy, they took
1iG bottles; out of 30 cases Vim de Lognac
imported by Auguste CAauchc, they retained
80 bottles, and ont of so eases of oil, belong

MEssRs. EDIroRs:-Ye Yesterday was held in this place meeting expressive of the sense of those there assembled from the country with regard to the infamous negro equality, coercion speech of Lincoln, who has desecrated by his language and person, the highest position within the gift of the people.
 While all those honest suJstantial citizens who have kept themselves posted, have now declared themselves in favor of tho cotton confederacy, and for cutting asunder those bonds which connect and degrade us to an equality with negroes and black re- publicans--but there are few here yet who, not having the fear of God before tbeir eyes, but fearing more their earthly master now in your city, undetermined what course to pursue, lest, as in certain notorious abolition white case, they may have to crawssA-unite only in dcnounc- ing Lincoln's inaugural address, but still like the tories of the revolution. cry hold wait-he, Lincoln, is liar. and does not mean to coerce--he does net intend to en- force by law, that doctrine of negro equality and citizenship which he there promulgated, They denouce coercion in the strongest terms, and yet do not define coercion, and some say they are totally unable to see coercion in his address,

Ey A good-hearted old republican yeo- man of Illinois, having imbibed the notion that attempts are to be made upon Mr. Lincoln's life by poison or otherwise, re- gently walked long distance for the pur- pose of uttering his solemn warning. Ar irving in the presence chamber of the re- publican royalty, he became abashed and forgot his errand. He was turning to leave, when sauden inspiration struck him, and he said quickly: "I won't leave till I tell ye, sir! Just mark my works!

EpIToR JoURNAL:-The circular of Gov.
Kirkwood, of Oct. 5th, in your paper of yes
terday morning, is of so vague and un-
certain tenor, that nothing can be done
under it. That the object aimed at by Gov.
Kirkwood can be accomplished, is probable,
provided our patriotic citizens understand it.
Gov. Kirkwood refers to "Chapter II, of the
Extra Session Of 1861" Undoubtedly the
Governor, and possibly many others, are fully
posted as to that act. Why not print the
act, that all may understand? Again-"You
are hereby appointed to organize into compa-
MES and regiments all able bodied men in
your county liable to perform military duty"
" ho is authorized? and when companies
are raised. what pay do they receive, and who
pays them? Or, does "each man furnish his
own clothing horse and equipments, and
hold himself ready at a moments notice to
march," for the defense of our State, acithout
pay:
OF course there are some who would at
tempt to carry out the views of Gcv. Kirk
wood, if satisfactory answers can be made to
the above but unless something more def
mite than his proclamation is made public,
very few responsible persons will be willing
to enlist men under it; and no man should
enlist under it, without further explanations.
MUSCATINE.
Muscatine weekly journal. [volume] (Muscatine, Iowa) 185?-1890, 1861-10-25

The Dcsmoines Re9ister has returns from
nearly forty counties, and claims the election
of the Republican State ticket by $4,000
majority. Judge loves majority is the
largest.
The Register appropriately remarks that
"the re election of Gov kirkwood is the best
possible guaranty that the energies of the
State Government will be faithfully devoted to
the support OF the National Government, ana
the choice of an increased Republican major
ity it the General Assembly is an assurance
that whatever number Of men or amount of
money may be needed in Iowa for the prose-
cution of the War, will be ungrudging'y fur
nished."
