Honest Men for Office.

The Waterloo Couricr, in an article
relating to the State Convention to be
held at Des Moines OH the Goth Proxi-
mo, says:
ave have just one word in relation
to the alleged frauds about the Capt.
tol. We shall insist that no man be
put upon our State ticket, whose of.
fetal character has suffered in the
smallest degree by contact with any
of the frauds charged to have been
perpetrated within the past two years,
in and about the Capitol of the State.
The people will not have anything to
do with any such, and we demand a
clear ticket all round. We do not
want to see the Republican party imi-
tate the Democratic party, as in the
old case Of Eads, by seeking to bols.
ter political friends, after they have
shown themselves unworthy the con-
fidence Of the people. This however
has never been the practice of the Re-
publican party, nor do we believe it is
to lie now"

Col. Allison.

Mr.. Ingersoll, who has spent sever
al years in Washington and has lately
become chief editor of the Muscatine
Journal, makes the following remarks
in reference to the member of Congress
from this district:
Mr.. Allison, of the third district is
a prominent member of the Ways
and Means Committee, a position
equal to the craftsmanship of most
of the committees. lie is young and
modest, but firm as the everlasting
hills. He is not given to much speak
ing, and whenever it is proper for him
to address the House he does so in a
manly and forcible manner. He is a
skillful Legislative worker, and CON-
mands great deal of influence. We
should as readily trust the guidance of
doubtful measure to him as to any
member we Know

A Family Poisoned.

The Mitchell Press has an account
of sad affair that occurred in the fam
lily of d. p. Sayles of Jenkins town.
ship in Mitchell county. Some wild
parsnip root had been carried to the
house. supposed to be artichoke, AID
w'ss given the children to eat. Three
children ate Of it, and Mrs. Sayles tast.
ed but did not swallow it.
In a short time one of the children,
who was assisting in preparing dinner
said to her mother that she felt sick
and Immediately upon going to the
door, fell upon the ground in the most
violent spasms, and entirely uncon-
scious. An older sister helped carry
her in, when she too, fell upon the floor
in the same manner. Poison was at
once suspected and lobelia immediate
ly prepared, and with much difficulty
by prying open the mouths of the
children, administered. But relief
came too late to one. Ella S. Sayles,
age6Asn years, died within sixty min
utes, without any return of conscious
ness from the time of the first spasm.
The others, by the timely aid rendered,
recovered.
This sad event should serve as 9
caution to ALL The root of which they
ate, grows abundantly in our prairie
sloughs-has a sort of bulb root, with
small tubers, slightly resembling the
artichoke but may readily be distin-
guished from it by the smell, as well
as by its general appearance. The top
bears some resemblance to the common
parsnip. 1t is one of the most
deadly poisons.

The Gymnasium.

This popular evening amusement,
has at last become what we term a
complete success. Last Saturday eve
ming there was an unusual display of
Gymnastic feats. Several of the par
Elephants were dressed in guady cos
tune, among whom were Mr. Stearns,
the leader, who was dressed i'm scarlet
tights, George S. Mitchell in red vel
vet, and several others whose names
we did not learn.
The exercises were of more than
usually interesting nature, owing we
presume, to the large attendance of
the fair sex, who graccd the perform
ance with their ever welcome faces.
The actors all seemed to vie with each
other in their wonderous feats. and
many were the sighs of relief given by
the ladies at the safe completion of
some dangerous experiments. We may
state without any mental reservation,
that the display was undoubtedly the
best yet given, and reflects great cred
it on Mr.. Stearns as gymnastic teach
er.
The President is always on hand, but
does not seem to enter into the classical
sport, which he might do, with much
risk or injury to his corpulent person
Mcssrs. Stearns and Hall gave one OF
their exquisite feats early in the per-
formance, for the benefit of the ladies,
on the double trapese.
The boxing department was evacua-
ted by its commander, cause-we don't
know. Many of the ladies were anx-
iors to witness display of sparring by
the master.
1t is rumored that the Band will be
present next Saturday evening to en-
liven the occasion with some harmo-
MUS airs, and that seats will be reser-
we'd for all the ladies who may be pres
ent. The exercises commence at 6 p. NJ.

Charles City, Iowa, Mag 10, 1866.
Hon. VIM. B. Allison.

We believe it is pretty generally un-
derstood that Col. Allison, the present
member of Congress from this district,
will be candidate before the nomina.
ting convention for a denomination
There arc several other gentlemen in
the district who desire the Office and
would make good Representatives, but
in our opinion Mr.. Allison ought to be
returned. We may not I've correctly
advised with regard to the sentiment
Of our citizens, but so far as our infor-
nation extends Mr. Allison is the choice
Of majority of the people of Floyd
county. We believe he has been in
dustrious, attentive and faithful to the
interests Of the people Of his district,
and on AN national questions his votes
and speeches have reflected their views
and wishes.
The. business of Legislation is trade
which, needs to be learned as well as
any other business. Experience is
worth as much in political rcprcsen-
tative as in any other department of
business. Col. Allison, having already
served two terms, has experience, and
any one familiar with Legislation knows
that an old member has always much
advantage over a new one.
But in addition to the above reasons
for retarning Mr.. Allison, an inpor-
tant argument in his favor is the re-
buke our people would be able to give
the President for his lamentable tergi-
versations. Could ourentire Congress
sional delegation il the House (six
representatives, he returned, what
grand reply the State of Iowa would
thus make t. the assertions and as
sumptions IF Andrew johnson that her
representatives do not represent the
sentiments Of her people I! Let the peo-
ple send these members all back again
and the act would confront the Presi-
dent with power and force that can
not be conveyed to him. by delcga-
ton of new men.
The only districts that now appear
doubtful on this subject are the 9Th
and 9Th. Mr.. Kasson, of the 5th dis
trict, injured his popularity in the ear
ly part of the session by trying to sus-
tain the President. He appears now
to be fully cured of that folly and lat
terly has voted fair and square with
the other Iowa members. He is talent
ed and shrewd, and, withaI, good
hearted. We should really like to zee
him returned, but we apprehend that
Gen. g. NJ. Dodge is destined to be his
successor. In the 9th district Judge
Hubbard, the present member, will be
opposed by Judge Porter. The latter
gentleman is popular throughout the
9th district. He has plenty of money,
and if he really sets his heart upon OBJ
tanning the nomination, possibly he
will succeed.

Removals from Office.

A writer in the n. Y. Tribune calls
attention to the fact that removals. from
office are unconstitutional unless made
| arith the adcice and consent of the Senate
and quotes Hamilton, as his opinion is
expressed in No. u of Title FsdraHst,
in proof, thus:
1t has been mentioned, as one of
the advantages to be expected from
the cooperation of the Senate in the
business of appointments, that it would
contribute to the stability of the ad
ministration. The consent of that
body would be necessary to displace
as well as to appoint. A change of
the Chief Magistrate, therefore, would
not occasion so violent or so general a
revolution as might be expected if he
were the sole disposer of Offices"
The danger of just the abuse of
Presidential power now practised by
Mr.. johnson was ably presented by
Mr.. Calhoun, who in 1885, in report
to the Senate, speaking of the power
of removal, said:
"Were premium offered for the
best means of extending this power of
to destroy the love of coun-
try" and in word, "to prepare for
the smbrersion of liberty and the establish.
meat of despotism, no scheme more perfect
could be derised."
Webster, in speech in the Senate,
1885, said:
An erroneous Interpretation was
given to the Constitution in this re.
spect by the first Congress. II
The unlimited power to grant office
and to take it away gives power
over the hopes and fears Of a vast
multitude of men. When
favors once granted may be withdrawn
at pleasure, there is ordinarily little
security for personal independence of
character. Blind devotion
to party thus takes the place of the
sentiment of genuine patriotism and a
high and exalted state of public duty"
AT length action is to be taken to
stop the bribery attempted by "A. j."
The subjoined amendment to the Post
Office appropriation bill is now pend
ing in the Senate of the United States
having been offered by Mr.. Hender.
son, of Missouri:
Sec. - And be II further enacted, That

cess or during the session of the Sen

money shall be drawn from the trcasu-
ry, or used from any fund or appropri-
alton made or created by law, to pay

service rendered after said adjourn
ment, be appointed to the same Office,
no money shall be drawn or used as
aforesaid to pay his salary until his
appointment shall have been consen-
ted to by the Senate at its succeeding
session."
With the above enacted into law
removals from Office for opinion sake,
won't be so easy card in the hand of
Presidential autocrats.

A Fenian Victory.

that all Fenians are desperate, deter
