holders of the Burlington 4 Missouri River
Railroad Company, held yesterday at the
odace Of the Company, in this city, the old
Board of Directors was unanimously re-

INTRoDUcroRY.-Our old friend Guelick
having gone to the war, wetake great plea
sure in introducing his successor, Mr..
Moritz Langeloth. Mr.. L. has had great
deal of experience in the editorial busi-
ness, and we make no doubt but what he
will give satisfaction generally. The Tn
bune is as sound rs Y dollar on the Balti-
more nominees.
~ Charlie, Of the Dubuque Times, says
that the Hawk-Eye made "pfodigious eff
fort to prove that the stupendous outlay in
men and means in this Indian trouble are
absolutely necessary" We advise you
Charlie to stick little closer to the truth.
The Hark- Eye didn't say word about the
''stupendous outlay of men and means;'
but it did object to the manner in which
this 'sstupendous outlay OF men and
means were being used. We objected to
the delays, and do-nothing course pursued
by the commanders of these troops. We
want them to clean out the redskins. in
Northern Iowa, and then 60 south. II the
"Indian troubles are all over Ia Northern
Iowa, we think the War Department at
Washington, will find it out quite IS soon
as the editor Of the Dubuque Times. And
if the TROUBLES" are over, the paper in that
region, are big with Lies. We agree, in
the main, with the article which appears in
the Nonpavtel.
~ The Copperhead Convention which
assembled At Des Moines on the 10th, put
in nomination the following tickets:
Presidential Electors at large, Isaac NJ.
Preston, of Linn; Ira C. Mitchell of john
son; Secretary Of State, John H. Wallace
of Muscatine; Auditor of State, D. C. Hen
dershott of Iowa County; Treasurer OF
State, John B. Lash of Henry county; At
torney General, Calvin F. Dunbar of
Jackson; Register of State Land Office,
p. d. Holbrook Of Monona county; Su-
preme Judge, T. B. Monroe Of Dubuque.
- II the rebel and copperhead presses
are right in their estimates Of the force un-
der General Grant at the opening of this
campaign, and the losses since he crossed
the Rapidan, he cannot now have more
than five or ten thousand men, if indeed,
he has any. They prove too much. They
have overdone the thing.
| Col. Moss, one of the factors of the
Cleveland Convention, having been in his
youth q theatrical performer. we advise
him to s'drammatize' the Cleveland con-
Germ and start q .show!-Burtingtom Iowa)

1t Is customary, nowadays. for the pro-
prietor of q s'show'' to act as .'clown," and
not wishing to establish new precedent
which would deprive, at least, zone natural
fool of his bread, we bow, Col. Moss, with
