As the election is over and resulted to
our entire satisfaction, and "a we expect
very soon to be relieved from the onerous
duties Of the Post Office, We shall be able
to devote ourself exclusively to the Daily
and Weekly Ottumwa Courier, and shall
endeavor to contribute our share toward
the development of the resources of this
favored locality, rs We hope our fellow cit
liens, In their several spheres Of action,
acquiescing in the decision OF the people
in political matters, and forgetting the as
perities engendered during the recent can
vass, will do. There is no locality in the
world which will better repay effort to pro-
mote its interests than this one where our
homes are. Take care Of the homes and
the localities, and the country will take
care Of itself.
NEWSPAPER CHANaE.-The Burlington
Hawk-E2ye, of yesterday, came to us with
the vailed .ctory of its veteran and talented
Editor and Proprietor, c. Dunham, an
npuncing the sale Of the office to Messrs.
c. Beardsiey and G. w. Edwards, the for
mer lately Of the Oskaloosa Herald, and
the latter of the Mt. Pleasant Home Jou,n-
al. Mr.. Dunhe,n has been connected with
the Hamk-Eye. some eleven years. and it
has grown in his hands until its circula-
ton and influence are we'll nigh eo-exten-
sive with the State. He Ia a vigorous wri-
ter and as publisher ia excelled by few
in enterprise and practical knowledge OF
the business. Poor health compels him to
retire from n calling, to which he is attach
ed and which he leaves with evident re-
luctance and regret. We trust he has
realized from his large and lucrative busi-
ness a acompetenre sufficient to insure him
and independence. He has our
best wishes for his future health and hap
pinesss. &s&r.'
The Salutatory Of the new Editors and
Proprietors, Messrs. Beardsly and Ed
wards in to-days HaVk-Eye. Is we'll ex-
pressed as We should expect from gentle
men already so widely and favorat1y
known as journalists. We wish them ev-
cry success in their new and wide field Of
labor.
