Committee of Ways and Means in refer
euce to the subject.

offered by Government will be paid. All
persons enlisting before the lst of April

EB- For sometime past Keokuk has
been model city-yes, if it had not been
for little sprinkling of electioneeriDg
and the school election it would have been
actually dull. All this is good for the
people-good for the city, but hard on
"Honors' and ye local. There has been
only one or two cases for the Police Court
in as many weeks, and all our citixeps
seem to have settled down to chronic
state of devotion to business. 1t is lust

1t is supposed BY nearly everybody that
the band was composed Of returned rebels
who had probably taken advantage OF the
Presidents Amnesty to gain access
through our lines. They are evidently
old hands at the business, and unless
speedily driven ont they will give our peo-
pie in the country much trouble.
We have been anticipating such trou.
BILE for some time past, but did not look
for it so soon. The Conservative policy
of the Provisional and General Govern
ment has brought these difficulties upon
us. and nothing but the most Radical
measures will ever put stop to them
We now realize the result of the "Con-
servative policy" of inviting our "erring
brorhers" back to Missouri again, and
this is but only foretaste-just wait un-
til the leaves come out again, and then
you will see what our dear, ..erring breth-
ren" will do. If none but the "Conserv-
atives" suffered from these bands Of their
'erring BRETHREN" we should not care so
much, but loyal radical men will also fall
victims to their vengeance.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

The singular blunder of the Union State
Committee in converting the State conven-
ton to nominate State officers before the con-
vention for nomination Of President, has
brought a very natural consequence in its
train. The custom-a most sensible one too
has been TO hold the convention 10 nomi-
nate State officers and Electors at
large for President after the nomination for
President is made, and so Of the District
conventions to nominate members Of Con-
gress, and District Electors. In ;hat way a
ratification Of the Presidential nomination
becomes a part Of the proceedings, and adds
to the enthusiasm Of the whole campaign.
But this year, for some unimsginab'e reason,
the committee reversed the customary order,
and now we suppose the committee are puz-
zling their brains to find cut how they shall
get up at this late day, conventions % choose
Electors, and not make a very dull business
oft. To talk Of ratification meetings wien
the people have shown their sentiments as
they have all over the STATE, seems almost,
absurd and TO wake up much en-husi-
asm for a State Convention merely to nomi-
nate two Electors at large. and District con-
y~entions toapp5iut one each, will not be AZ
easy task. Perhaps, though, tie work viii
be easier il but lew attend

This greet victory IN the valley of the

v.sor and energy manifested and the decided
; lccess achieved, by any victory Of the war
Ildings had but just reached Us that a great
battle for the possession Of the valley was
imminent, when the news followed that a
splendid victory had been gained. Sheridan
permitted no delaT when the opportunity to
strike was given. His promptnoss and de-
cision have been rewarded by brilliant sue
cess.
Atlanta. Mobile, Maine, Vermont, and the
Shenandoah, are now the watch words Of
Liberty. In view Of the victories which
these names suggest, can any loyal man
doubt as to the method by which an honor
able peace may be gained? What are the
comments and what the reply of those who
sustain the Chicago-peace-platform and the
democratic candidates?

THE SOLDIERS, VOTE.

The Seminal, and the opposition press
generally, very naturally squirm under the
reception given by the Army to the Chicago
peace platform and It's nominee, who is now
endeavoring to perform the grand feat Of III
ding two horses going in contrary directions.
McClellnn's nomination has fallen dead
among the soldiers. as shown By thousands
of private letters, BY informal votes in the
hospitals, and better yet by the actual votes
in the recent election-. Respecting the few
extracts from soldiers letters Of a contrary
import, which tho Sentinel 50 industriously
spreads before its readers, we have only to
say in the language Of the n. Y. Journal Of
Commerce, "As works Of fiction these letters
