Grain Shipping.

Grain Shipping.
re- The Chicago Elevators, receiv.
ing grain from Dubuque, have given
notice that they will no longer continue
to guarantee Dubuque elevator weights.
They say they are forced into this be-
cause of the great shortage between Du
buque and Chicago. There has, for a
long time, been bitter complaints among
shippers about waste or robbery in
handling grain at Dubuque or Dunlieth
Many car loads of grain leak from
six to ten bushels between the point of
shipment and Chicago. The complaints
generally point to the transfer agents at
Dunleth, as the source of trouble.
There is said to be vilainous monopo-
lv at that point, which, not satisfied with
exol bitant rates for the handling of
freight. dishonesty subtracts from its
bulk in the passage. The condition of
affairs at the river is a great outrage up
on the people along the line of our rail
road, and our people should combine for
a remedy, if it is possible to achieve
one.

Copperheads at Quasqueton.

Eg- Those two brilliant lights of the

heads that they had call to preach tc
the benighted heathens Of Qaasqueton
that the said heather might repent and
be cured Of their wellknown Loyal doc
trnes and tendencies. Accordingly, due
notice was given Of the desire of the dis
tinguished gentlemen to grind out a
grist Of treason and fustian at Quasque-
ton Hall, and very good audience
mainly loyal men-were on hand to
hear and see the operation. A discern

worked well-that one was run by whis-

was a good deal too much of the motive

Arizona and Idahoe.


Two new Territories were organized at the
last session Of Congress-Arizona and Idahoe.
By the bill organizing the latter, II was called
Montana, but the Senate changed the name to
Idahoe.
Ariz,na was formerly known as the "Gadsden
Purchase," having been purchased by the United
States from Mexico through Mr.. GADsDEN, then
our Minister to Mexico, for ten million dollars.
Il was an oblong stretch Of territory, bounded
on the north by New Mexico, on the east by
Texas. on the south by the Mexican States of
Chihuahua and Sonora, of which it was former
y part, and on the west by the Colorado Of
the West.
The Purchase" was originally annexed TO
the Territory Of New Mexico as huge county,
and called Dona Ana. Arizona Territory as now
organized is somewhat different In size aud form
from the Gadsden Purchase, extending north.

lower part Of New Mexico. The act organic.

lows:

Mexico situate west of line running due south
from the point where the southwest corner Of
the Territory Of Colorado joins the northern
boundary of the Territory Of New Mexico to the
southern boundary line of said Territory OF
New Mexico.
Arizona is said to contain a population of
eight or ten thousand. 1t Is about six hundred
miles in length from east to west by two hun
dred in width, and contains On area equal to
three States like Ohio. 1t will doubtless here
after become noted for its product of silver, as
its name imports.
The new Territory Of Idahoe, or the "Gem
OF the Mountains" is very large in extent,
stretching from the eastern boundary of the
State OF Oregon, so as to include Che whole
breadth of the Rocky Mountain region and the
hesdwaters of the great Missouri and Platte
rivers Its area is said to be fully l25, 900
square miles. As the Territory yields gold
peutifully, emigrsnts will probably be attract
ed, before long, in considerable numbers. The
law establishing mins In Nevada will exert
marked influence in favor OF the Territory
Itahoe includes the Salmon river and Snake
river gold mines. Ice population is about elev-
en- thousand, for the must part miners. A
steamboat is being built on the Missouri above
Fort Benton, to ply on that river above the falls,
and thus open navigation to within sixty or
seventy miles of the eastern mines Bat be

meet Ibahoe with the States. and cause a new
State or two to be carved ont of it,

Congress and the Paper Duty.

Congress just before adjournment passed O
law reducing the duty on printing paper from
rs to 20 per cent Gd ualorem. Why Congress
fell back upon this halfway measure we can
moi imagine. They were told by the secreta-
ry of tho Treasury that the tariff on printing
paper had not yielded one dollar Of revenue
for several years. They knew that the mo-
Dopoly Of capitalists had combined to raise the
price of this indispensable article to an extor-
tionate amount. And they must know that the
duty st 90 per cent. would be almost as effec,ual
to prevent imports as the former rate did, per-
haps altogether so under present rates Of ex-
change. Inasmucb, therefore, as this action
will neither induce imports nor prevent exsor.
tion BY the monopolsts, 1t must fail Of sffording
any material relief to the public Hence the
reduction to 90 per cent. looks more like q
sham, "compromise,' than anything sub
stantial. 1t seems as though when the people
asked them for bread they had given US q
stone. There may be a good reason for this,
but we certainly fail to see it.-IOledo Blade
