LOOK Our FOR Ilx.-We have received .
call, to-day. from Isaac J. Louis, Of Compa-
ny A. 9th Cavalry, who informs us ~ fol-
lows: lie came to this city few days ago
with member Of his company, by the name
Of Charles Goodrich, and took lodgings At
one Of the boarding houses. Having no Sc
cure place for carrying valuables, he conf
ded his discharge papers and three hundred
dollars, all the money he possessed, with
his comrade. Goodrich disappeared soon
afterwards, and has not been heard from
since. He is about five feet ten inches in
height, full faced, has dark hazel eyes, dark
hair, and dark side whiskcrs, and was form
erly a resident Of Omaha, Nebraska. Mr..
Louis is an old man. has been suffering from
i'll health for a long time past, and has a
wife and family dependent on him for sup
port, now living at Keokuk. Iowa papers
will please make note Of this, and Iowa
officers be ON the alert for the scoundrc.
DEcIDED-The case Of James Nav against
Antoine LeClaire, Geo. l.. Davenport, and
others. Of Davenport, which has been before
the United States Circuit Court for some
years, and was tried by Jude Love at the
last term Of that court in this city, has been
decided for the defendants. The case was
one Of considerable magnitude and was ably
conducted on both sides-Ues Moines KEY
ist6y.
Thus ends the memorable May case. 1t
has been on the docket q long time large
amounts Of money have been expended up
on it, and months Of untiring labor devoted
to it. The decision is as We expected i,
would dbe-unfavorAble TO the plaintiff. The
courts have given the matter fair and pa
tient hearing, and have decided that the
plaintiff has sustained no damages tha,
the defendants and those Immediately con
nected with them are guilty Of no fraud, nc
conspiracy-no dishonorable acts against
the plaintiffs.
Nor So CoSripENr.-The Copps. around
ton that Col. Benton had accepted the
nomination Of the trump" convention. An
acquaintance noticing their boasting, offer
ed to bet any amount, from $40 to 81 .00C
that Col. Il. would not accept the nomina-
ton. He couldn't find any takers; the en-
ciny arc too sharp, with all their brag, to
throw away their money in that yle.-
Des Noines Reg, 26th.
We never saw Republicans more sure OF
anything than they were at Des Moines las,
Thursday that Gen. Benton would not ac-
ccpt the nomination of the Soldiers Con
vention. They saw trouble ahead in case
he should acecpt-serious trouble indeed
and Of course they could do no less thar
hope that the gathering storm might be
avcrted by the positive refusal Of Gen. Ben
ton to have anything to do with the move
ment. But they were doomed to be scri-
ously disappointed. Gen. Benton did ac-
cept, and the leaders of the Republican
party may well quake in their boots. The
gathering storm will soon burst and seattle,
their party to the four winds-lcaving il
without habtation or name.
GEN. NJ. N. CRoCKER.-It is with regre,
that we learn Of the death of this distin
gushed Iowa officer. Although we hav.
not as yet learned the disease Of which ht
died, we presume that it was consumption
as he has been suffering from it fer years
Gen. Crocker had just been ordered t.
Washington, preparatory to taking an im
portant command in Texas, and at that city
took dangerously Hand died. Not an lows
officer can show a more honorable record
