Correspondence Of the Cedar Falls Gazette.
LETTER from ClarEsyiiIe,

GAINESVILLE, Iowa, July llth, 1895
MEssRs. PERKINS THE heavy ant
continuous rains of late, keep the Shell
rock river too high for safe fording, ant
as there are no bridges here, travel ha'
been somewhat interrupted. A move
ment is on foot however, for ferry a
the upper ford, which If successful viii
be public benefit. 1t is said that Su
pervisors in certain portions Of the coun
ty, are getting quite amiable towards
GAINESVILLE, and propose granting al
appropriation of money for bridge
here, provided they can get one to build
a Jail in Butler Center. But we have
yet to find the first man who will ac.
cept an appropriation on any such
terms. For although it might, and
doubtless would, operate to deter any
person from committing crime, who
thought they might have to go to But
Ter Center to lie in jail-where they
would be almost out of humanity
reach, still the people in these parts
manifest no desire for any further pub
| lie improvements in that forlorn place.
Indeed, it appears to be foregone con-
clusion with the people in this county,
that they have suffered enough of Ohio
guy from the location of their county
seat, and that its removal to any other
point at an early day is advisable.
Those three boys who were commit
ted for burglary and larceny, were
brought up at the late term of the Dis
trict Court, and one of them discharged
and the others held to bail for their ap-
pearance at next term.
A school picnic to include three or
more schools in and around GAINESVILLE
is advertised to come off on Friday of
this week. A good time is expected by
the children. ... .....-..
A young man from Waverly is talk
ing about starting paper here, and says
he will do so almost immediately, pro-
vided the citizens here will guarantee
him 200 subscribers. Waverly, thus
far, has sent more citizens to GAINESVILLE
than GAINESVILLE has to Waverly.
They that come are wise, as they
doubtless are looking forward to the
time when the r. r.. will be here, and
are DESTROYS OF securing to themselves
eligible situations, before the great rush
comes, when no desirable, or passa5Is
location can be found.
The crops, under the late rains and
warm weather, are looking admirable,
and give promise of an abundant har-
vest, but we want you to bespeak of the
weather-clerlS, in good season too, that
he would use his influence to secure
good, fair weather for the haying and
harvest.
CITIZEN.
P. 9. July l7th-The above was writ
ten, and should have been sent last
week, but owing to our absence was
overlooked. You can use IL, or not, as
you please, and will now add that the
picnic alluded to came off on Saturday
and was largely attended by young and
old, and was quite satisfactory to the
teachers and scholars, and the delight
of parents and spectators. We believe
it was perfect success, but not having
been present, are unable to give partic-
u!ars at present. c.

LAUREL suMME.s. Chairman.

We give tho Democratic party Of
Iowa" q free publication of their call
for State Convention, and do so with
great freedom and willingness. Moth
ing could show with more distinctness
the utter insienifcance Of the party,
even in the minds of the greatest of its
moguls, and the complete hopelcssness
the leaders experience in achieving
anything beside greater ignoniny and
moro disgraceful defeat.
II is observable that in this call the
word Democratic" does not once &C.
cur. 1t lie indeed lamentable that the
good old name Of Democracy has come
into such disgrace that even the pollut-
ed Copperheads of Iowa should discard
il.
Having brought odium on themselves
and their political organization, these
wretched sycophants now have the i'm
prudence to fawn around Union men,
pat them on the back, and say All
persons opposed 20 striking out the word
'whitc,'" &c! They will have anoth-
er lesson in the truth that Union men,
In whatever else they may differ, are
united in desire and resolution to strike
out traitors and Ccpperheads. The
Democratic party" to speak politely
had not courage to meet the Republi-
cans ssquarely on the negro-sutirage
Issue; but rather must go brawling un-
der the windows Of soreheads and those
OF disappointed hearts, singing in crack
ed voices the plaintive words THE past
is In the eternal pastw Just as if it
was! Nonsense. the miserable snake
will bite as soon as hand is laid on it,,
and its fangs are plainly observable in
the not very tall grass.
1t is perfectly disgusting, too, to OBJ
serve how this party has gone to slob-
bering over President Johnson. They
are actually glggling as If Andy John
con had taken them all to his heart, and
were calling them pet names. To be
cure the President hurt their sensitive
natures the other day when he hung
four of their family, and even suspend
cd the writ Of habeas corpus in the case
of Mrs. Surratt; but then" All those
opposed to striking out the word
white" &c!
The people are not to be deceived any
more by this course of procedure than
they were by the nomination of Gen.
futile, and the great equestrian feats OF
the party in the last gubernatorial can
vass. The nominations will stand nc
shadow of q chance of success, as every
one at all familiar with Iowa politics
fully understands, and be beaten easily
by twenty-five or thirty thousand ma
jority In voting population of one
hundred and thirty-ive thousand.
The hopes of Iowa Copperheads lit i.
scandalous TO call them Democrats) dis
appeared with the collapse of the rebel
lion; but when the Republican party
in State Convention came boldly up Il
the negro-suffrage question, there wa
a perceptible rafting among the dry
bones, and behold! the ghost of the de
funct party has arisen and called an
other convention Of the faithful to de
feud the rights Of white men!"
Lo! the Poor White Man!

THE HAMILTON Freeman says doz-
en- men went to the residence of Joseph
Dunbar, in that county, on Saturday
evening, took him from his bed, and
tying his hands behind him, gagged
and beat him most numerically. Ills
wife and daughter We're also taken out
en- dtshojiNe, and the former clicked,
gagged and struck in the mouth, SO that
some of her teeth were knocked out
The daughter was muiiied, but not in
jured. The reason assigned for this
outrage, is that Dunbar is a bad charac-
ter. The mob did considerable damage
to his house, and ordered him to leave
the county in four days. Such law.
less proceedings are only calculated to
arouse sympathy for the sufferers.
