Col. WIN. E. SMALL, formerly of the 10Th
Iowa Infantry, has been appointed United
States revenue collector for the Davenpt IT
congressional district, in place of CIV. Ellis.
The Democrat says:
In this connection we notice that the Ga
zette does n ot like the appointment Of course
not. King Hiram don't, and what he don't
like is particularly obnoxious to his plant
henchman-R Russell. Price can't see any
body else but played out hack of his up in
Maquoketa, Eaton by name, who oould't even
get the appointment of postmaster in his viii
lage few months ago. Bot he was Prices
man, consequently the Gazette is dissatisfied,
and styles the appointment of Col. Small ''as
a purely political one. and made part of
the new policy" What is this new policy"
snseringly remarked at by the Gazette.-
Is it the policy of appointing worthy and &C
conplished soldiers to the federal ofhces-a
policy ineugurated here by President John
son in the matter of displacing the editor of
the Gazette from the postofhce, and putting
Gen. Sanders into his place? Of course this
policy don't relish IN the Gazette Office.

The weaker sex.

Physically less muscular, and generally
speaking, less powerfully built than men, We
are accustomed to speak Of women as belong
ing to the weaker sex. II is very easy so TO
speak OF them, though not quite so easy to see
how, except in the physical view Of the ques-
ton, they generally desire the distinction.
Pass in review before you batch of your
married friends, and ask yourself candidly !:
Are the wives in the majority of the cases to
be looked upon as weaker characters than
their husbands? If you want weak thing
done. an Improbable but pleasant thing, to
which would you 60 for assistance in the car
rying out of your scheme-to the husband or
the wife? Which of the two would be the
more capable of saying " No?" monosylla-
Bile often requiring for It's utteranee, at the
proper moment, the very greatest amount of
moral force. That expression g the weaker
sex" seems to me, just now. to be more than
ever inappropriate when applied to the young
ladies dancing in our ball, promenading in
our flower shows, endangering our lives when
we would cross Ratten row, or bidding US
. stand and deliver in the bazaar room or
tents in which they hold their fancy fairs. OF
whatever else we may accuse those fair and
exemplary creatures, we must by no means
charge them with undue timdity or irrational
shyness and reserve.-Chesterfeld Junior,

JOSHUA TRACY. Chairman

PosTroSED.-A few weeks ago the Demo
cratic Central Committee published straight
out Democratic call for State Convention Of
the party, to be held at DesMoines next
month. 1t looked as if the party had picked
up courage and had determined to assume q
show of pluck and honesty, and stand up by
their name and their record before the people
once more.
But their hearts soon failed them, their
knees trembled, they experienced weakness
in the Lumbar regions, and an utter demoral-
ization of the kidneys, and in view Of these
promonitions have been constrained to post
pone their convention for few weeks.
1t is evident that the Copperhead creation
can't stand alone in Iowa, and unless it finds
nurses and pap very speedily, it will not sur
vive the dog days. Amy one who will under
take to nurse the thing and provide the neces-
sary pap for its nourishment will be entitled
to name it, and make such disposition Of it
as he, she or they may see fit, for it is now in
the condition of destitute founding exposed
to certain death.

Veto of the Colorado Bill.

The President this afternoon returned the
Colorado Bill to the Senate with his obiec-

present necessary for the welfare Of the peo-
Pile. There population is small !; some esti-
mate it as low as 10000, while the advocates
of the bill reckon the number at from thirty.
five to forty thousand. Ii is not satisfactorily
established that majority Of the citizens
desire, or are prepared for the change Of
Territorial Government for State Govern
ment The final objection is that the admis-
sion Of Colorado, at this time, as State in
to the Union appears to him to be incompat-
ible with public interests of the country. In
stead of increasing, Colorado has diminished
in population

A SOLVENT FOR NEW YORK PREJUDICE.
III is not many months since colored man
came to this city from abroad. A New York
merchant had been in business connection
with him for several years, and from that bus
mess connection had realized fortune, and
1elt that he must treat him kindly When
Sunday came, he invited him to 60 to church
with him. lie went; and the merchant took
him into his own pew near the pulpit, in a
fashionable church. There was prominent
member of the church near the merchant,
who saw this with great amazcment. He could
not be mistaken; 1t was a genuine "nigoer"
and not a counterfeit. Midway in his sermon
the minister discovered him, and was so con-
fused by it that he lost his place, and almost
broke down,
After service the man who sat near the mer-
chant went to him, and in great Indignation
asked
What does this mean?s M
"What does what mean?"
THAT you should bring niger into this
church ?"
''It is my pew"
"Yor pew, is it? And because it is YOUR
pew you must insult the whole consrega-
tion!'
"He is intelligent and well educated" an
swered the merchant.
What do care for that; he is niggerr'
''But he is a friend of mine."
"What of that? Must you therefore insult
the whole congregation ?"
"But he is Christian, and belongs to the
same denomination"
'What do 1 care for that? Let him worship
with his niger Christians"
''But he is worth five million dollars" said
the merchant. n, Il ~
"Worth what ?"
"Worth five million dollarsw T
"For Gods sake introduce me to him." was
the reply.
