THAT LETTER,

The Cedar Falls Gazette denies the re-
port that Hubbard wrote a letter to
Melendy declining to be a candidate for
Congress, and says that Melendy would
procure the denial Of the report by the
papers which gave it currency. The
Hamilton Freeman published this report,
and in an issue of that paper of later
date than the Gazette in which the denial
is made, it acknowledges visit from Mr..
Melendy. but says not word about the
Hubba dMelendy letter. The fact is, The
Gazette Of Cedar Falls, and the Journal
of this city, may prevaricate for the be-
nefit Of Hubbard, but other papers will
not. The crafty ludianian is playing
Good Lord and good devil" and the
people know it, and will soon relieve him
of ali doubt, and enable him in the future
to present his petitions with the fullest
confidence to the latter individual.

quest to return to the writer, shall be thus

4, Money orders will be valid for one
year instead Of 80 days. Post Mas

The Journal continues 70 insist that
Hubbard is candidate for Congress and
takes its radical contemporaries in the CEN
trail and eastern portion Of the district to
task for daring to doubt that the grey
haired 1Idianian would accept the honor
and EN- oluments Of another congression-
al term. 1t is the only paper that claims
to speak "by authority and is, with pro-
badly the exception of the Cedar Falls
Gazette, the only one in the district that
adheres to the waning fortunes of Hab-
bard, and insists upon his caudidacy.-
But this is to be expected. The position
and bread and butter of our neisbbor,
and that of the few oilicc-ho!ting adhe-
rents of Hubbard, depend upon his re-
nomination and success a. the lis.
AS We stated last week, Hubbard will
not allow his name to 60 before the con
veu,ion unless he is certain that his
friends are in the majority. TO this end
he has placed in the hands of Hon. Peter
Melendy letter declining to be candi-
date, which, however, is only to be used
in case his friends are in the minority
That such letter is in existence we
have the authority Of the Hamilton Fl e,
man, the Fort Dodge Northeast and the
Marshal Tmes,all Of which papers at
first favored Hubbard's nomination, but
now, in view Of his decliuation, are urg-
ing the claims of q. NJ Woo dbury, Of
Marshall
The Marshall Times, after stating that
its first preference was for Hubbard, says
"But having recently been reliably i'll
formed that Judge Hubbard would not
be a candidate, We took occasion to sug.
gest the name of our townsman, Hon. u.
NJ. Woodbury., as suitable one to pres,
ent to the people as Judge Hubbard's
successor. Mr.. Woodbury. steadily re
fused to oe candidate in opposition to
Judge Hubbard, and SO long as he was
understood to be candidate, took no
steps to bring his name before The people
in connection with the position. Uucing

Of Cedar Iatis, letter from Judye Uub
bard uh,ch authorized the Wtt4d,awut Of
the Judge's name from the contest, Mr.
Woodbury. aud has friends have taken
such steps as to secure the nomination
for him, if practicable.
This settles the question in regard to
Hubbard's position. He dare n, openly
and unequiVoeally 60 before the people If
the dis tric', and let their decision in the
nominating convention attest their ap-
probation of his official services. But
On the contrary be writes letter declin-

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS,

In this paper will be found calls for
Democratic Congressional, judicial and
County Conventions.
The Congressiona! Convention Will
meet at Webster City on the 23ri Of
August, and we hope thai the democracy
OF the several counties composing the
district will take prompt measures to
secure full repre- sentation. This con-
vention will be an important one, and
should be participated in by delegates
from every county in the district The
duty will devolve upon it of expressing
IN appropriate resolutions the detestation
In which the conservative people of the
9th district hold the revolutionary prin-
ciples aud acts of the radical party, and
to place in nomination for Congress
man whose record will furnish an un-
questioned guaranty Of his devotion to
the principles of Democracy--the indis-
solubility Of the Union-the equality Of
the States, and the ri ht Of every part Of
our country to representation in the
Fedora! Congress-. With such declara-
ton of principles and such candidate,
and with the influence which the Presi.
dent could aud should extend to those
who are UNFOLDING his policy, we can 90
into the contest in this district with en-
couraging prospects Of su ccess.
The Judicial Convention will be held
at Sac City on the 2lst of August. This
convention will doubtless put in nomina-
ton man sufficiently strong to beat the
radical candidate who will DO brought
out at Sac City to-day.
The convention for this county will be
held on the 4.h day Of August. 1t is
desirable that there be full turn out of
the Democracy of the county at this con-
vention, that the delegates to the district
conventions may be the choice of the
mass of the party.

MORE IN DIAN TROUBLES.

On the heels of the staternen, of U. s.
Indian Commissioner Taylor that the
1ndian tribes on the plains mss~itest the
most friendly spirit, and that no trouble
need be feared, comes the announcemen t
that on Friday night of last week, tue
Indians burned the overland stage station
at Elkhorn, and that they have ordered
the stage company to remove their stock
from the Powder river route within six
days. The Indians are massing for war,
and it is generally regarded that another
Indian war is inevitable. 1t certainly
will be if the Government sends out few
more psa m singing peace commission

and provisions among the Indians.
