1t is not generally known that every officer of
the Iowa house of representatives, from speaker
to doorkeeper, has served in some of the
Hawk Eye Acknowledgement Gazette.
Wonder if their service" was all as valu-
able as that Of the clerk of the lows house of
representatives Charley Aldrich) who tried,
but failed, to get command OF a niger rsgi-
mens. In the spring of 1863 Aldrich was
adjutant of an Iowa regiment. then. stationed
at Fort Pillow, Tennessee. He had filled, by
appointment, considerable number of pestJ
Offices, before the war, and as,while at Fort
Pillow, especially DESTROYS to get the COM
mand of q niger regiment, and had exhaust
ed all the "wire pulling" operations for
which be was considered famous, without
any favorable result. One very warm day,
as he lay on the desk. (he was good at that
businsss) in the log building known as"Head
Quarters he seemed to have pondered the
up, he exclaimed to the sergeant major -
"pve got it now" The sergeant major was
unable to understand this sudden move
ment, "and asked an explanation, when he un-
folded the following original plan to obtain
the recommendations that would bring the
long coveted ofice-"I will write to Frank
Palmer. Ut Desmones, and ask him to re-
quest his wife to write to Mrs. Fremont, as
they were once schoolmates, to ask her to re-
quest her husband. Gen, Fremont, to recon-
mend me to Gen Asboth, who was once his
chief of staff, and then I'll have q sure
thing"
1t failed the adjutant discovered physi-
cal disability, that existed years before the
war, and, on that, rendered his resignation
and retired to civil life without opportu-
nifty of displaying his valor, in single in
stance, in front of the enemy. lie now en-
Joys comfortable Office as the reward for his
services" Can any one say that republics
are ungrateful?
