REruDIAT1oN In IOWA. recent letter from
Iowa says:-s'I am obliged to say that there is
strong disposition on the part Of the counties
nearly all the counties in the State are tainted
With IT; and it is well understood that tWo Of the
three Supreme Judges are favorable to it. This is
in consequence Of an elective Judiciary
The above is from the New York journal q
Commerce, and in our Judgment the hints at rcpu-
diation are entirely groundleas. ANY just legal
claims against any county in Iowa, re have no
doubt will be fully paid. The people Of that noble
Stale do not belong to the repudiating race. They
live, if anywhere, in the State that breeds such
traitors us JEFF. Davis. It may be true that right
and Justice require thai the villains Of fancy opera
tious in some Of the counties should lose their
c'ai1ns hut honest claims in Iowa will be repudia-
ted NEVER.
