Mr.. Ep1roR.-Thc neighborhood Of High
Prairie was startled, a few days ago by the
cry of MAD dogv as large dog trotted
down the road, swapping at everything that was
to be found, which were not few. As he
approached the hog lot Of an old Democrat
and commenced biting his hogs by the doz-
en-, the old veteran called out for his gun
that he might destroy the dog at all hazards.
The young sprout standing by his side, how
ever, happened to recollect the injunction
laid upon all few days before, and cried out,
dad, that will be enforcing the dog law, and
you know that Mr.. - told you that you
must not do anything that would look like
enforcing it or tho Democrats will be gone up
forever; that the only show they have this
fall is the dog law" So Mr.. Dog satisfied
himself and trotted on to the next house
where he went into the hogs and cows to his
hearts content.
So grand council of the faithful was call
ed together to consult what was to be done.
After mature deliberation it was decided to let
Mr.. Dog pass on and destroy all the hogs and
cows on the road rather than do any act that
would squirt at enforcing said law for says
the little chief if we enforce this law we may
lose Seventy Six this fall, and five do so we
lose the soul of Democracy in this county
forever. r.

Township Convention.

In pursuance Of notice published in tho
Muscatine JOURNAL the Republicans of Bloom
ington township met in convention Saturday
July 9Th, to select twenty-six delegates for the
county convention.
The meeting was called to order by VIM
Dill. Joseph Bridgman was elected Chair.
man, and r. G. Walter Secretary.
For the information of the meeting the call,
as published in the JOURNAL, was read by the
Secretary, at the suggestion of the Chairman.
w. G. Woodward, after some preliminary
remarks in respect to the plan of selecting
the delegates, moved that such delegation be
elected by balloting for four at time. Car
ried.
The convention proceeded to ballot.
On the first vote the following gentlemen
were elected as delegates: S. G. Hill, VIM.
Dill, L. H. Washburn and Geo. Meason.
The election of delegates under Mr.. Wood
wards motion being found to consume too
much time, Hugh J. Campbell suggested that
the number to be voted for at a time be in
creased to eleven, and therefore made mo-
ton to that effect, which was carried without
opposition.
The first ballot, under Mr.. Campbell's plan
resulted in the choice of J. Scott Richman
Luke Sells, A. Smalley, James Patton, S.
Thompson, D. Dunsmore, S. G. Stein, James
Beaham John Mahin, A. F. Demorest and
Lewis Coe.
On the second ballot the remainder Of the

persons: J. A. Green, D. c. Cloud, Charles
Oberman, Fred. Tape, Henry O'Connor,

W Senator Simmons, of Rhode Island,
takes the exposure of his corrupt jobbing very
coolly. He acknowledges that Schubarth
agreed to pay him the snug little fortune of
$4,000 for procuring contract for him for
the manufacture of $4,000 muskets-one
dollar on each musket-and that he has re-
ceived one-fifth of the money and expects to
get it all. Schubarth, who is Norwegian,
resident at Providence, says he supposed the
payment of bride for procuring a government
contract to be the common practice, and that
he has known as high as two dollars per
weapon paid for contracts for pistols. Several
things are made clear by these exposures. 1t
is evident that the government must be freely
cheated either in the quality or price of the
arms furnished, or the contractors could not
afford to pay so handsome sum to the friends
who help them to jobs.

MAJOR GEN. PoPE.-This accomplished
officer, who has recently been placed in com
mand of Fremonts department, is the Capt.
Pope who year or two ago delivered lee
ture in Cincinnati in which he reflected rather
severely upon the course of President Bu-
chanan. The old p F. had him arrested for
speaking disrespectfully Of his superior Off
GERS, but forebore prosecuting his trial to a
termination, which would have undoubtedly
resulted in Pope's being cashiered.
Gen. Pope is regarded as being one Of the
most scientific military men in the service, and
his unparalleled successes thus far during the
present war entitle him to high rank among
the officers of our army.

The SIXTEENTH REGIMENT.-The Daven-
port Gazette of yesterday says letters were
received in that city Tuesday, under date of
the 3Oth ult., stating that the above regiment
had received marching orders for Richmond
and would leave Immediately. Whether the
order included other Iowa regiments we are
not informed. Some of our Iowa boys, at
least, stand good chance of being present at
the surrender of the metropolis of rebeldom.
It was reported yesterday that the nth
Iowa regiment had also been ordered to Rich
mond. We know nothing of the authentic
ity of the rumor.

FLOR the Journal

Mr.. EDITOR: I notice in the JOURNAL Of
July 4th, some criticism on your editorials
that appeared in the JOURNAL some time since
on the conduct of Gen. Baker, which charges
you with unfairness in making said charges.
Now, sir, I think your correspondent must
certainly want some favor or office of the
General or he would not have endeavored to
cover UP the acts of said Baker, which are
apparent to every one.
Now, sir, what is the first excuse that he
offers for Gen. B. That Clinton is his home,
and therefore he is enabled to reduce the ex-
penses that the State would have to pay, such
as board, house and office rent. I would like
to ask that gentleman if he is aware that Gen.
Baker gets 81 500 per annum, and again, if
Gen. B. is entitled to this extra pay for eating
and office rent, if he will not have to have the
same at Clinton?
Gen. B. is not the man to save anything for
the State, as the report of the Auditors board
shows, that was made to the Legislature last
winter, that his extra or incidental expenses
of his office was over $1,000, and for what
Why, livery hire, telegraphing, room rent in
the Burtis House, &c.
The next is, that one assistant could dc
more work at Clinton than all the clerks the
general Is allowed if taken to Davenport OF
anywhere else. Now, this needs no argument
to prove it to be false.
The next is, transporting the troops from
Davenport to Clinton. This he tries to &c
out of by saying that Clinton is nearer tn
center of the State than Davenport. If this il
SO, everybody knows that two-thirds of tn
population live south of Clinton; so that ar
gument falls to the ground.
Now, sir, have not the least idea who il
the writer of that article in the JOURNAL, bu
it is certain that 1t is some man who wants al
Office and thinks that if he pitches in for tn
General that he will return the compliment
Now, to al, Of this would have no obiectio,
fit was at his own expense; but to hav
the State taxed to the tune Of several thou
sand dollars to crafty the ambition of on
man and please the good folks Of Clinton, an
then no man be allowed to say word of r.
buke without being tsken to task for it; is
little more than the tax payers OF the Stat
are willing to stand. lax PAYER.
