REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
Our Member Of Congress.

We hold that it is good policy to re.
tain in Congress such men as prove to
be faithful representatives of their con.
stituents. A new member cannot have
that strength, influence, or knowledge
of the intricacies of national legislation,
which man Of experience and honora-
bic service will possess. A man must
have something more than natural abil-
ity and cultivated mind to become a
good legislator--he must. be permitted
that training which can only be had
under the efficient teaching Of expert
ence. TIA change is to be made of one
good man for another, the present is
not the time to make it, if a pospone-
ment be possible. There never was a
time when the people needed able,
faithful and experienced legislators in
the National Council more than at just
this period in our history. Upon these
considerations we have, since candi-
dates for the next term were being sug-
gested, urged that A. w. Hubbard
should be renominated by the Republi-
cans Of the VI. District. Mr.. Hubbard,
we are fully aware, does not desire the
Office, and If he consulted his own per-
sonal inclinations merely would per-
enptorily decline third nomination.
On account of the strong opposition to
his declining to be candidate for re-
election, and his knowledge of the ne
cessity of having reliable men in Con.
gress, he has been induced to forego his
personal predictions and consent to
serve the people longer if the people SO
desire. We think, therefore, that there
is no question but that he will be re-
nominated with little fany opposition;
and, If so, of course elected, by at least
5000 majority over any man the opposi-
tion can put against him. There may
be q few politicians, who have looked at
Mr.. Hubbard's seat in Congress with
covetous eyes, to whom this informa-
ton will not be entirely satisfactory;
but the people, the constituents whom
Mr.. Hubbard has SO satisfactorily serv-
ed, will be glad to know that his serv..-
ces may be retained in the present
emergency, and will not be back ward
in renominating and re-electing him.

In Mcmory OF Lincoln.

Hon. James A. Garfield, of Ohio, de.
livored most touching and eloquent
tribute to the memory Of Abraham Lin
coin, in the House Of Representatives,
on the 18th inst. Even the mutilated
report which the telegraph brings
touches the tenderest- chords in the
hearts Of those who loved him SO well
and stood by him 80 faithfully. 1t
was not the hand of one man that kill
ed President Lincoln. It was the EN-.
bodied spirit Of treason and slavery,
concentrated into fearful hate, that
struck him down in that supreme hour
Of the nations joy" 1t will be well for
the people to remember the vows they
took and the covenants they made in
those days of national grief when the
martyr fell asleep. Mr.. Garfield said /:
"There are times in the history of
men and of nations when they seem to
stand so closely by the veil which shuts
out mortals from Immortality, time from
eternity, and man from God, that they
can almost hear the beating and feel the
pulsations of the heart of God. Such a
time have we passed through. When
$50, 900 patriotic spirits broke through
the folds of that veil and went up into
the presence of God, and when at last
its parting folds admitted the President
to 60 with the dead heroes of the Re-
public, the nation felt indeed that it
could hear the whispers Of God coming
down among the children Of men,
Kneeling at that troubled hour, when
JOY and sadness were so strangely COM
mingled, the American people listened
to the voice of their God, and made a
solemn covenant with Him, and with
each other, that this nation should be
redeemed, all it's glories restored; and
that, on the ruins OF slavery and treason,
the temples of Freedom and Justice
should be built, and should survive for
ever. 1t remains for us, Mr.. Speaker,
consecrated by that great event, and
under that covenant with God, to keep
that faith, and to go on in the good
work until it shall be completed. Fol-
lowing the lead of that great man, and
reverently following the lead Of God,
let us remember that H- "..
"He has sounded forth the trumpet which
shall never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts Of men before His
judgment scat '.s.I ~ + T..

"The House has passed the Niger rights bill
over the Presidents veto. The bloodhounds

their victory will be short-lived."

The Depot ut Iowa Falls.

From the Hardin Sentinel.
The depot at this place is now COM
pleted. 1t is first-class building of
the kind-the best on the line of the ID.
l. S. G. railroad west of Dubuque. So
says Mr.. Henry Graham, the builder of
both this and nearly all the other de-
pots on the line. The length is l3O feet,
100 feet Of which is for freight purposes
and only one story high. Its width is
80 feet. The east 80 feet is 2 stories
high, the upper rooms being occupied
by the Station agent. Below, this part
of the building is divided into three
rooms: the reception room Is X 80
feet; the ladies' waiting room twelve
feet square, and the office II X IS. The
Geographic apparatus is located in the
latter. The entire building shows the
most excellent workmanship, and Mr.
Graham, has added to his already ex-
cellent reputation as first-class me-
chanic. In justice to our townsman
Abe Bidwell, Mr.. G.. desires 1t ANNOUNCE
ed that he did the mason work.

It. NJ. ATHERToN, editor of the Mitch
oil County Press, having shown consid-
cradle anxiety to support President
johnson, and it having been said that
he was actuated by fear Of losing his
commission as Postmaster, he comes up
to Kasson's line in the following style |:
1--WE happen to be Postmaster at West Mitch
ell. but it Is not true that the emoluments o!
an $50 Post Office control our political actions
in any respect whatever, and we will thank
Andy Johnson to appoint our successor at once
ifhe wishes us to support him when we find
him guiding the old Republican ship among
the reefs and breakers OF Copperheadism."
Unlike kasson, however, Anterior
still believes "Andrew Johnson to be
true in all things to the Union party"
The only danger that threatens the
Mitchell editor is, that, under A. Us
lead, Copperheadism will become Re-
publicanism.

4 Disgraceful Scene In the United States
IT,. Senate. ... ....

Last Monday, when bill in reference
to the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad
was undergoing discussion in the Sem
ate, Mr.. McDougall, the drunken DEM
ocratic Senator from California, charged
his colleague, Mr.. Conness, with having
personal interest to subserve. Mr..
CONFESS said, in an excited way, that
Mr.. McDougall was not in a proper con-
dition to know what he was saying
Mr.. McDougall pronounced this false,
and long debate followed, during
which hard words were passed, and Mr..
McDougall several times called to order.
Mr.. Conness said that Mr.. McDougalI
sat in his chair, or rather lay in his
chair, an object of pity before an audi
ence assembled from every State in the
Union" He declared that Senator Nc
Dougall was disgrace and a shame to
the people of California, the American
character, and the American Senate.
Mr.. CONFESS declared that the Senator
would not dare to brandish the word
'falsehood" against him (Conncss) out
side of the Chamber. Mr.. McDougall
raped his desk excitedly, and said, ~

lying that Mr.. McDougall was a ode.
graded, abject man." with "no charac.

There was a little story that would suit the
case. II was that OF n man named Pcttigru, o
South Carolina, who had once a case at law
against a family, the fighting member of which
met him one day, and walking up to him said
'Mr. Pettigru, you are y damned liar Me
CRU, you are u God damned scoundrcl.' Peti.
CRU took no notice. Then said he, 'Pettigru
you are God damned son-of-a-bitch.' =.
Here, Mr.. Foster, the President pro
tenn, interrupted Mr.. McDougall to say
that stories containing such language
ought not to be repeated in the Senate
and the disgraceful scene was closed by
postponing the subject under discussion
Mr.. McDougall is doubtless unworthy
of his seat; but Mr.. Conness cannot b.
justified for losing his temper, and there
by giving Mr.. McDougall's declaration
