Adjutant General Of Iowa.
TO Cot. J. G. Cul1Dnf1ox, A. A. G. Of
Iowa, Davenport, Iowa.
From the above it viii Be seen that the
Adjutant Generals ofice has lost the SER
vices Of an energetic, faithful and highly in
telligent officer. Since his residence in this
city, Col. Culbertson, By his strict It
tention to the duties Of his office and the
uniform courtesy with which he has treated
all, whether in his 6lIicial o, in social c.
pacity, has won for himself many warm
friends, who will very auch regret the ne
cessity that calls forth his resignation. We
wish you success, Colonel, in your position
Is Clerk Of the District Court Of Johnson
county, and congratulate the people Of John
son upon calling out from the people 80 COM
petent servant.
Col. Culbertson's successor is not yet ap-
pointed, We believe. The necessities Of the
case demand some man fully conyers-
ant with the duties Of the Quarter Masters
and Paymaster's Office, as, also, with the
Militia Department, and if we might venture
q suggestion, we should not hesitate to say
that the appointment Of no less person
than F. H. Impey, Esq, who for long time
has been faithful and highly competent
attache Of the Adjutant Generals Office,
would best subserve the interests Of the
State.
GRAND ENTERTAINMENT TuIs EVENING.
The attraction il ct Ls Claire Hall this even
ing. For the further benefit Of the Chris
tian Home, and to afford the people anoth-
er rich entertainment, those ladies and gen.
tlemen Of our city who previously gave "a
exhibition At LIE Claire Hall, will re-appcar
this evening. Al viii be seen elsewhere,
the programme has been revised and great
~ improved; aud as the performers are more
experienced than At the former exhibition,
there can be, no doubt, excellent IS that was,
that that Of this evening will be much bet
ter. Let our citizens give the performances
. hearty greeting this evening. Many Of
our most highly esteemed ladies and gentle
men have labored necessarily for public ap-
proval, to the end that the interests Of the
Christian Home might be furthered. It is
noble object and may those who take such
lively interest in it never know what it is
to want friends or the comforts Of life.
SusPESsIoN.-The proprietor Of the Des
Moines Statesmaa, Col. W., H. Merritt, IN.
nounces that the daily edition of that paper
is suspended during the winter. He says
he has but one reason for this step, which
is the impracticability Of running ) paper
that don't pay expenses. He further says:
1--WE have published the Daily Statesman
neasly seventeen months. and every issue Of
it has been at loss to ourselves. We rec
ognize no obligation to our party or the pub
lie which requires that We should continue
to pay out more than we receive. Such .
course is dictated by neither common sense
or justice, nor can it be reasonably expected
by our friends.
This withdrawal leaves but three Demo-
cratic daily papers in the State the Du-
buque Herald, Davenport DExocRAr, and
Keokuk Constitut;on.
