We understand that, j. w. Thomas,
Esq, of Lansing, Allamakee county,
is an applicant for the Office of U. s.
Collector and Col. L. L. Huntley, of
this place, is an applicant for the office
of q. S. Assessor, of this the Third
District. Petitions have been circula-
ted, and these gentlemen have been
recommended very generally, in all
the counties of the District, by the
leading and staunch Union men there
of. We suppose much will depend up
on the endorsement and commentator
of our Congressman, Col. Allison,
whether these gentlemen are success.
full or not. In our opinion it is highly
expedient and fitting that changes
should be made in these Offices, and
from what we know of the two candi.
dates above named, we feel confident
that they would gil the Offices with
credit to themselves and satisfaction
to the public. Most certainly sthe
claims Of the patriotic Cedar valley
should not be longer overlooked or ig
norcd in the distribution of Govern
ment appointments, and we will moi
permit ourself to doubt that Mr.. Ali
son will make recommendations in re
gard to these appointments which are
in accordance with the clearly ex
pressed wishes of his constituents.
Charles City intelligencer. [volume] (Charles City, Floyd County, Iowa) 1864-1866, 1865-03-16

Since it became known that Senator
Harlan had accepted position in the
Cabinet at Washington, thus causing
a vacancy to be filled by the Gov
ernor Of Iowa. we notice the press and
people of this part of the State are
claiming that the appointment is due
to the North. Most assuredly is North.
ern Iowa entitled to one Of the U. S.
Senators, and the only question for heI
people to decide is, who should be the
man. The Dubuque Times is out with
a plausible editorial in favor of the APP.
pointment of Col. Allison. We fully
endorse all that the Times says Of Col
Allison's fitness, but he being already
in Congress as the Representative Of
the Northern District, we have some
doubts about the propriety and expo
diency of taking him from the House
at this time, by an Executive appoint
ment, and hazarding the loss of his
election to the Senate by the next Gen.
eral Assembly. Could we divine the
future and know that the Colonel
would be retained in the Office, we
should not hesitate to urge his appoint
ment. We have not heard any other
one Of this District suggested for the
place, but presume we shall ere long,
and therefore prefer to await coming
events rather than say any thing fur
Their at this time upon the subject.

Our Educational Interests.

BY reference to the report of pro
ceedings at our District Township
meeting, on Monday, it will be seen
that about $4,000 was appropriated
for school house purposes, and that
the Township voted to build three
school houses--one in Mr.. Austin's
neighborhood (sub-district No. I to
cost $ll0O--one in Mr.. Whitney's
neighborhood (sub-district No. 81 to
cost $sO0-and one in this village (sub-
district No. 81 to cost not less than
S., 0OO-and that the houses be COM
pleted as soon as possible. We pre-
sumo the Board of Directors will at
once call for proposals and give out
the contracts. ,....... ....,.
Never was school meeting in this
township SO fully attended as the one
held here on Monday. Our people ap
pear to be thoroughly aroused to the
Importance and necessity of having
educational facilities equal to those OF
any other county in the State, and
soon we shall have them. The schools
of the village are to be properly gra-
ded, and it is determined that the
school of the higher grade shall be in
every respect equal to a first class
academy. Thus, instead of being com
PEELED to send students abroad to 9th.
or schools, all our young men and
young women can be fitted for the
every day duties of life and be educa.
ted up to a classical course, here at
home under the watchful guardianship
of their parents. Thanks to our glo.
rious free school system, this excel.
lent education can be obtained almost
without money and without price, and
is equally as free to the poorest boy
or girl as to the child of wealth and
affluence
We have no doubt that, when the
facts of these educational facilities be-
come known abroad, hundreds of fami-
lies from the Eastern States will be at
tracted hither and take up their abode
among us, who would otherwise seek
homes elsewhere, in order to enjoy
good privileges for educating their
children. This is precisely the class
of settlers we desire--persons who
will aid in giving a highly moral and
intellectual tone to society and be to
it strength and support rather than
burden and clog. Such settlers
will be cordially welcomed, and we
feel safe in saying that they will find
here as noble and generous hearted
a people as those of any other commu-
nifty, east or west. We may also add
that, the natural advantages of Floyd
county, in regard to cheap and fertile
lands, timber, water and healthful eli.
mate, are unsurpassed, and that see.
ing is believing.

On Sunday night, sth inst, six hous-
es in Dubuque were entered by bur-
glars and robberies committed, and
the entrance of four other houses was
attempted. One of the houses enter.

Haas, of the drug firm of Junkerman

pursued and caught him by the collar
just as he was leaving the porch. The
villain drew a pistol, fired, and shot
DR.. Haas through the breast, giving
him a dangerous and it was feared fatal
wound. Four Of the scamps were AT.

are now safely lodged in Jail at Du

The Washington Republican states
that General Thomas telegraphs that
his scouts report that the rebels have
information that Cheatham's force, from
Hoods army has been overwhelmed
by one of Sherman's columns and also
that Joe Johnston had attacked Sher-
man and been awfully whipped"
The Government at Washington, it
is said, expects soon to hear direct

section of North Carolina east of

From Washington.

Congress adjourned amid a pressure
of business, much of which it failed
to dispose of. In the Senate on Fri
day night, the conference report on
the amendatory enrolment bill was
agreed to. The civil appropriation
bill, minus the clause prohibiting the
trial of civilians by military courts,
was passed. In the House, the civil
appropriation bill was reported from
the conference committee, with the
question eff exempting civilians from
military trial unsettled and an agree
ment to make the duty on imported pa
per Is per cent. ad valorem was also
reported, but the House adjourned sine
die without taking final action on eth
or report. The civil appropriation bill,
which thus fell to the ground, COM
prised appropriations for the coast sur
vey, lighthouse establishment, &c.
The proposition to prohibit the pay
ment of money to the Illinois Central
Railroad Company for military trans
portation, failed of success. The bank
rupt law also failed.
Senator Harlan of this State has
been confirmed as Secretary Of the In
terror. Mr.. McCulloch has entered up
on the duties of Secretary of the Trea-
sury. Freeman Clark, of New York,
has been confirmed as Comptroller of
the Currency.
A man named Clements has been ar
rested and turned over to the civil au-
thorities, against whom the evidence
is positive that he had all the plans
arranged for the assassination of Pres
idcnt Lincoln on Inauguration day.
He is now in prison. The President
went up to the capitol in the morning,
and consequently did not appear in
procession, as the assassin expected.
Hon. John p. Hale has been con-
firmed by the Senate to be Minister to
Spain, instead of Gustavus K9rner,
resigned. ..
The new Secretary of the Treasury
has ordered the cotton captured at Sa-
vannah to be sent to England for sale.
This will give the Government some
millions of exchange, and limit the de-
mand for gold to that amount. n
