~ Quite an excitement prevailed in
our town this week, occasioned BY re.
ported influx Of military commissions
The exact number which had been issued
was for long time uncertain. and those
who had been made honorable and indie.
pendent by this token Of loyalty were still
unknown. Some said tho whole number
Of males in Sioux City old enough to vote
or take contracts, had been counted of
into ones and twos aud that each Of the
odd numbers had received a commission
Of some kind. But as this theory Of ap.
preparation would not consume all the
commissions, some other hypothesis will
have to be adopted. And thus the matter
rests a great mystery. which time alone
can solve.

after three months of profound study

that Captain Curtiss is "a nice young
man" From the length Of time taken by

There are three things which Pres.
ident johnson will insist on in the
return of the Rebel States. They
must adopt the constitutional amend
ment prohibiting slavery. They
must repudiatc utterly and forever
all debts incurred by them in tb,
prosecution Of the rebellion. Anc
they must make such regulations as
will secure the colored population II
their rights of person and property
In complyingwiththesc requirements
the States lately in rebellion will
show that they accept in good faitl
the result of the war, and that they
are anxious to return to their old
position in the Union, and to be
hereafter loyal and law-abiding.-
The adoption Of the amendment is 9
matter of the utmost Importance, and
there is really no substantial security
until it is made part Of the Con
stitution.

THE LATE ELE1rIoV =,

The news Of the elections that VIZ
announced last week have, in con.
nection with those almost immcdi.
ately preceding, peculiar signif.
cance. The elections were not mere
ly to decide ns to whom should have
the honor of an election. They
were nearly as important MS though
the election of a President depended
upon tho verdict.
The verdi0tis is a direct approval OF
the Administration. OF Abraham
Lincoln and that of President John
son. 1t approves the course of Mr.,
johnson in retaining the Constitu.
tional advisers called into the Cabi.
net by Mr., Lincoln. 1t rebukes the
Copperhead party, and declares II
unworthy ts:e confidence of :he peo,
plc.
1t would seem, now, that the
course marked out by NJ. johnson
in the matter of reconstrLrtio, is
the one that the people wi h him to
20.
The victory Of Right is glorioue
and complete.

Where Our Grain Goes.

Surely it is well We should know
yet there is a great want Of informa,
tion. Many suppose that England
uses up most that is exported, and
many farmer thinks the greater
part of what is sent from his farm,
goes 10 some foreign country. The
following facts--plain and simple,
and from official sourccs--show how
it really is. When the British corn
laws were repealed, the lnducement
was held out by the English, and the
hope entertained by our grain grow
ers, that large market would be
open there for our products.
But in twelve years after the re.
peal of the corn laws, from lS4S TO
1860, our exports of breadstufs to
England was decreased in proportion
to our population, almost thirty per
cent, even by English estimate 27A
per cent.
During che same years the British
imports of grain from this country
were only one fifth their imports
fiom other countries.
Take our exports Of provisions and
TO Great Britain, and to
III tho Western Hemisphere, from
lS48 to 1860, and we find our yearly
exports to Great Britain the least,
and tho demand this side The Allan.
10 much larger the last part ofthe
ime.
The average Of the three years OK.

ports ofprovisions, closing with 1860
was to Great Britain S5,792,269 and
on this side Of the ocean S9,0l7, 1873
Our exports of breadstuffs to Great
Britain for each of the same years,
averaged 1859 D0l bushels; but to
ports of our Western Hemisphere
10. 5.03S,5 bushels.
Chicago alone often sends off in ten
days more grain and flour than Eng
lanri has taken from us each year, on
tne average, for twenty years past,
and the grain export from that city
in single day often exceeds what
England bought of us in a whole
year.
In 1860, the total products of our
soil were 81 $50, ,0O0, 900 in value; our
total exports of those products 1912
2S2,S73 or but one seventh. Taking
out the cotton exports, and our
home market and consumption was 20
times as great as our exports to all
foreign lands.
We safely estimate to o.day the New
England market as worth to the
Western grain grower, more than
that of England.
Our exports of breadstufrs to Great
Britain, from 1915, to 1860, averaged
6,302, IA bushels yearly, the high
est in lS47--Famine Year in Ireland
SO, ,494,69S bushels; the lowest
1,402 bushels in 1857, and so vary.
ing from 2.766,056 bushels in 1850
to 2S.l62,795 in 1864.
Our average exports of brcadstuff:
to Gieat Britain in five years, from
1858, to 1858, were less than n dol
lar per head of our population eacl
Iyear.
Thus We see the English demand
is smaller than that of our own Hem
Iispherc, both are less than many sup
pose, and the home market is mucl
larger than is generally thought.
Would it not be well to pay NOR,
attention to this home market, to b.
built up by the increase and pros
peritv Of home manufacture.
Let every farmer remember on
important fact. The decrease Of on
home market makes us more depend
ent on the changcs--orten severe an,
ruinous--in distant foreign markets
and these changes affect ard COVER
now the prices here. Let wheat il
Liverpool fall sixpence on the busheI
and the Western farmer feels it i
three weeks. The lesson is plain. =
Foster our home industry, let man
ufacturers, West and East, grow an
thrive. Let our larger market with
in ourselves be our first consider;
ton, and then send abroad such SUI
plus rs we shall doubtless have, an
other countries may need.

sisting the rebels to get into power
by force of arms, the Coppcrhead
press is now engaged in advocating
the rights of traitors to seats in Con

to seats in either house. In pursu.
ance Of this provision, Congress has
passed a law requiring all persons

United States, TO take an oath in sub.
stance that they have not been guilty
Of acts of treason against the coun.

this law is unconstitutional. In tlis,
rs in everything else, they distort
the law, ignore history and outrage

of Wrong against Right. 1t is plain
to any reasonable man, who will take
