THE SUCCESSOR OF Hon. J. Il. GRIN
NELL.-We see it stated by some Wash
ington correspondent that President
johnson expressed great qualification
at the defeat of Mr.. Grinnell before the
Convention. We do not vouch fer the
truth of the statement, but certain we
are that Mr. johnson has mistaken his
man If he supposes any aid or comfort
for tiny policy" from Mr.. Loughridge,
the gentleman who is to succeed Mr..
Grinnell in Congress. We happen to be
quite well acquainted with both gentle
men, and the President may take our
word for it that the change will be de-
cidedIy to his disadvantage in every re-
spect, for Loughridge, if not an ADLER
man than Grinnell, carries more weight
with the masses, and will be found I'M
swervingiy on the side of justice and
liberty, and amongst the ablest leaders
Of the Republican party.
Mr.. Loughridge came to Iowa fifteen
years ago, young lawyer, with but
five dollars in money and without
friends in the State. He settled in the
beautiful and flourishing town of Oska-
loosa, after spending few days in keo-
kuk, where we made his acquaintance,
and soon won his way to the front ranks
of the very able bar of that District, and
on the retirement Of Gov. Stone from
the Bench, he was chosen to succeed
him. He is man of piety as well as
of principle, a man of nerve as well as
of muscle, and the southern bully who
undertakes to flourish small canes over
his head had better dispose of his world
ly effects before commencing the opera
ton, rs lie will hardly be in aeondition
to attend to it afterwards.

HEAVY ROBBERY.-Last Saturday
evening the station agent at Delaware
Centre, on the line of the ID. d S. c. II.
II. was robbed by some unknown per-
son or persons of seven hundred and
fifty-nine dollars. He was sleeping in
his roem and had his coat ceptaining
seven hundred and fifty dealsrs in the
inside pocket hanging to the bed pest,
while nine dollars was in the drawer OF
the ticket Office. 1t is supposed that
the thieves effected an entrance through
the door by means of false key. Nc
alarm was given, and the victim was
not conscious of his loss until he awoke
in the morning. For several days pre-
vious, one or two persons of suspicious
appearance had been hanging arounl
the station, but since the robbery they
have not been seen, and the evidence
points to them quite clearly IS the
guilty parties We understand that
the money stolen comprised but very
little of the company funds, and that
the most of it belonged to the agent.
Every eXertion is being made by the
proper::ofiicers to apprehend the villains,
and the probability is that they will
soon be arrested. 1t is certain that
they have not yet crossed the river, and
as they left very fresh and open trail,
we shall soon hear of their CAPTURE

Judge Hubbard is a Candidate.

We are informed that it has been re-
ported in certain portions of the District
that Judge Hubbard will not be cam
didats for re-nnmination,-- that he de-
clines to allow his name to be used, &c.
We speak authoritively when we say
that there is no truth whatever in these
reports. Judge Hubbard is candidate,
and has no thought of Withdrawing his
name. Some months since he was un-
decided as to whether he would be a
candidate for denomination or not. His
personal wishes and private interests
were adverse to his accepting a third
term, and he Was long undecided as to
what his duty was in the matter. But
after having received letters from prom
inent men in all portions of the District
urging him to again be candidate, he
reluctantly consented. His friends are
to work for him, and are sure of his sue
cess, and it is not reasonable to suppose
that they would work for him, or that
he would permit them to use his name
il he were not u candidate.

FATAL AFFRAY.
A Man from independence, Iowa, Shoots
Another, and Is in Turn Stamped
to Death.

From the st. Joseph. (Mo) Herald. July 4.
Last evening the city about Market
Square was thrown into great excite
ment consequent upon the killing of a
man named James Clark by Ben Ull-
man. The facts which led to this result
as near as we could learn them are as
follows: Some two months ago, Clark
came to this city and attended horse
race, at which he wagered $25 with Mr..
Ullman. The latter won it. A few
days ago, Clark again came to the city,
and while here, told several parties that
he intended to have his money back or
kill Mr.. Ullman. Yesterday he came
in and stopped ut the Atlantic hotel,
where he repeated to several parties his
former declaration about the money
About 6 o'clock p. m. he found his way
to Market Square, and seeing Mr.. Ull-
man engaged in conversation with
Luke Bonham and other parties in
up to them, shook hands, and invited
the party in to take drink, after which
he asked Mr.. Ullman to give back the
money he had won of him. The latter
supposed he was jesting, and treated
the matter in that way. Just then Mr..
Ullman was called by one of his work.
men to come to the Market House, and
turned to go out of the Saloon. Clark
Immediately stepped behind him, held
a revolver within a foot of the formers
lead, and fired, the ball passing thro'
n ;,crtion of Mr.. Ullman's neck, and
lodging il IS supposed, in the jaw-bone.
Mr.. Ullman wheeled :a.bout, the blood
spirting in every direction, when clark
with pistol already cooked was about 70
fire a second time, when he was seized
by Mr.. Ullman, knocked down n,,~ "
stamped in the face, crushing in the
whole side of his head. The whole
tragedy was over in an instant. From
the time the party had drank together
in an apparently friendly manner,
three minutes had not elapsed until
Clark fired his revolver, and in two
minutes afterward he was dead man,
and q more horrible sight we have new
err witnessed. His head seemed LITERAL
ly crushed to a jelly, and death must
have been almost instantaneous.
Mr.. Ullman was at once taken to his
residence, where several physicians
were summoned, who dressed the
wound, but were unable to extract the
ball. Although the wound is regarded
as very serious, being man Of power
full constitution, it is thought he may
recover. A more honest, whole souled,
man than Ben. Ull-
man never lived in any community,
and hosts of friends will earnestly hope
for his recovery. That be was fully
justified in Staying the man who at
tempted in SO cowardly manner to
take his life, is the opinion of all who
witnessed the affair.
A jury of inquest was summoned, be-
fore which the facts above related were
brought out. Clark was buried last
evening. He is said to be from INDIE
pendence, Iowa, where he has several
children living, he being a widower.-
He was between forty and fifty years of
age, and it was said he had been engage
ed in selling patent rights Of some
kind.

at the same time we have thought it
our province to give special promi-
nence to local fairs; for we believe that
this should be the great specially with
the country press. In chronicling To-
cal news and in seeking to advance
deavored to ignore partisanship and
not allow personal likes and dislikes to
bias our action in the least. In any
work or project having tendency to
benefit the community, we have always
been prompt to give credit to whom 1t
belonged, even though he were polit-
ical opponent or personal enemy.
During our six years residence here,
we have, in the main, received naught
but kindness, hearty cooperation and
generous support at the hands Of this
people, and have formed personal
friendships which are very dear 20 US,
and which we trust no act of ours will
ever forfeit. There are few, and so
far as we know, they are very few, who
bear toward lis no goodwill. We new
er expected to be able to please all, and
that man does not live who can publish
a paper for six consecutive years and
not offend more or less Of his readers.-
To us the six years past and gone have
been full of hard work and small pay.
The support given us has been all that
any reasonable person could expect
from a place the size of this, but our
and observation have taught
us that there is "no money" in country
or, at least, it is very sell
dom that there is anything like an ade-
quate return for the amount of labor
performed and capital invested. The
only reason we have had in disposing
of the GAZETTE has been the convic-
ton that in another field and branch of
labor we could make more money than
we possibly could in this.
Mr.. Goodenow our successor, isagen-
tleman of experience in the profession,
a ripe scholar, a clear and forcible writ
or, and an out-ald-out Republican,
He has the ability and energy to make
n first-class paper, and ere many months
have passed away the patrons of the
GAZETTE may have occasion to exult in
the change. We trust that the liberal
support ever extended to US may be
to him, and that you will re-
ceive him so kindly and stand by him
so constantly, that he may never have
occasion to regret that he was induced
to cast his 1T with yours. ~.

COngrpsnlan.

The last number of the Mason City
Republican has ali article on the Con-
Igressional nomination to be made In
this District on the 1st proy., from
which we make the following extract
AS the time approaches, numerous
candidates for congressional honors are
presented, and although we have
strongly desired to see our present ex.
cellent representative returned, we
shall acquiesce in the decision of the
majority, fairly expressed, although we
do not believe any permanent good can
be accomplished by a change Mt this
time. We may have equally as good
men, but no one will contend we have
better. The only object, then, is the
promotion of other aspirants, whose
success demands the decapitation OF
further advantage than the satisfaction
of giving position to some other indi-
vidual whom they hope and believe
will serve them as well and acceptably
Ia the present incumbent has done. As
Cor ourself, with the best feelings toward
the se ,erai worthy candidates, we do
not see the necessity, or even .propriety
of recalling the preseat member, how
ecutive.
1t is reported that the COUNTIES O!
Winnebago, Worth. Hancock, Celro
Gordo and Franklin, are pledged in
opposition to Hubbard, and in favor of
some of the above gentlemen, which
report we believe is without foundation.
We are not authorized to speak for
any one, but having conversed with
some of the citizens of these counties,
we believe the great mass of the people
are entirely satisfied with the present
representative and desire no change.
Through their delegates different con.
clusion may be arrived at. Yet, should
Judge Hubbard receive the nomination,
we do not hesitate to say, all the people
would say Amen! ~.
The Republican is quite correct in
the statement that the masses are
strongly in favor of Hubbard, and If
they are allowed fair expression he
will be nominated on the first ballot.
