WAR UPON THE GoyERNMENT-Thi
Union is restored. Every state is equal to
every other state in the rights Of its people
and in the right to representation in Con-
grcss. Those who deny the fact that the
Union is restored and resist the right of
the people of the states to exercise equal
privileges under the Constitution, arc max
ing war upon the Union and the Govern
ment. This is rebellion, like that rebel
lion which was suppressed by the army of
the United States. 1t is treason, like that
treason which was but lately cxtinguished
in the blood of its advocates. Do the OBJ
structionists of the north wish to re-enact
the part in which the secessionists of the
south SO disastrously failed? DO they in
tend to commit those crimes in the name of
liberty for the black, which the south COM
mitted in the name of liberty for the white?
This is the apprehension at Washington
and throughout the country. But we be-
lieve the obstructionis.s Of the north will
think twice before they invoke upon them
selves the strong arm of the government.
Should such conflict unhappily arise, it
would not take long to establish the fact
that thirty-three Senators in scventy-two do
not represent either two-thirds of the Sen
ate or two-thirds of the American people.
--E1change.

Last week we announced an auction sale
Of the effects of James r. Short, at his
residence 8! miles north of Garnavillo.-
Since that issue tho sale has been put off
and the day fixed for the 18th of May,
when it will surely take place. At that
sale there will be an opportunity to buy,
in addition to household goods, farming
implements, grain, hay, stock, &C., a horse
power wood-saw, set of blaeksmith's tools,
300 wood pals, in good condition, and a
well improved farm of 100 acres with 40
acres Of good timber. Hand-bills will be
out this week, giving particulars.
Mr.. S. informs US that within few days,
and since our last issue containing the lit
tie notice of his sale, he has travelled over
almost every part of the country fifteen
miles distant, and to his great surprise
each man had learned about it through the
TINES, and was anxious to learn the terms,
which were not named in the notice. Our
business men will reccollcct that the TINES
goes into every county in Northern Iowa,
and that their advertisements in its columns
are not only read but remembered, of which
fact this instance is substantial evidence.

Ex-Provisional Gov. Sharkey testified be-
fore the reconstruction committee at Wash
ington Us follows:
The freedmen arc doing Enthusiastically
well, but there is no Disgusting the fact
that the frccdmen's bureau and colored
troops have done more harm than good !;
General Howard is very clever gentle
man, but there are men ia charge of the
freedmen's bureau in Mississippi who are
disposed to speculate on white and black !;
] verify believe that if at the time was
t;zess ell the troops and the freedmen's bu-
rcau had been withdrawn, l could have
have had perfect state of order in two
weeks there are now in the state very lit
tlc,oSer half as many freedmen as there
were formerly slaves; there is no telling
tho mortality that has prevailed among
tslemt; taGy have died in immense num-
scrs; the negroes orc in very few instances
disposed to accumulate property; my cx-
pe:ienec concerning them is that they arc
destined to extinction beyond doubt; we
must judge Of the future by tho past, and
l could tell you q great many circumstan-
ces to that effect.

One day last week we passed very
pleasant morning at the Office of Cols Bris-

RICE Of Minnesota and Esq.
Jordan Of McGregor, assisted US in max

"reminiscences of this section of the north
vest the Indian stories, the times of Gen.
Taylsr at old Fort Crawford--all so well
told BY Brisbois and Rice--saying nothing
of the hospitalities of our most valued
friend Col. B.-a most agreeable time was
had. Mr.: Rice was the Democratic can
didate for Governor last fall but was beat
en- in consequence Of the superior number
Of votes cast for Gen.. Marshall! Had
Rice or his friends entertained an idea of
probable success the election could have
been carried, easily, for conservatism.

A curious old scandal has turned up
once moro in the British Court of Probate.
Prince Henry Frederic, Duke of Cumber-
land, fourth brother of George Ill, was
privately married, before the royal mar
rage act, to Olive Wilmot, daughter of the
rector of Barton-on-the-lIeath, in War
wickshire. Her granddaughter, Mrs.
Ryycs, now claims, under the declaration
of the legitimacy act, to be declared member
Of the Royal family. If she can prove the
she n. OF opt tla anu one
ing just after the King Of Hanover; and
this is the real issue on which the case will
turn L. seems certain that the marriage
was ut the time believed in, and the object
of denying it was to conceal bigamy, the
Prince, like true descendant Of the Elec-
tress, having married Mrs. Horton while
Olive WilmOt was alive.

BUs1NEss.-Capt. /. N. Morrill,, late of
the firm of Lampson & Co., has engaged
in the Confectionery business, which was
a branch of the trade of the late firm. We
predict successful traffic in the saccharine
line for Morrill,. First, he is an agreeable,
attentive, prompt man; Second, he has
employed that experienced character known
all over North Iowa as JIMMY GRIFFIN, the
best candy-maker and confectioner in the
west. Third, he retains the services of
TOMMY LAUR, young workman whose
brief experience gives evidence that he
will not be excelled by the oldest in the
line of his business. With Car. as leader
and the two workmen named on the wheel,
this concern will SPIKE all the wholesale
traders who come from the sunrise side of
the Mississippi.
Success to energy, labor and business

month, April, have been generally correct,
and supposing your readers may he inter-
ested in closely watching these calcu-
lations, and, moreover, would like to per-
use them for May, give them below:
May comes in unsettled with rain at
times, particularly near the LIST and 4th,
soon after the weather becomes fair and
pleasant lasting some days. Windy and
cold for the season during the middle of
the month, and probably rain about the
10th. Thunder storms, with hail in some
places, near the Dist, then again fine and
pleasant for the most part remainder of
the month, though there may be some rain
near the 27th-say, genial showers.

Tom. Anterior, of the Mitchell County
Press, takes sides with Andrew Johnson,
The Press warmly supported Gov. Stone,
the regular "Negro Suffrage" candidate
for Governor, and it is strange he does not
sustain our noble representatives in Con.
gress.-Ce,ro Gordo Republican.
Well, what of it? Suppose we did sup
port Governor Stone, is there anything in
consistent in that, if we do take sides with
Andrew johnson? Have we said anything
that would lead you to believe that we do
not sustain our Representatives in Con-
gress? We have not written or said any
thing yet from which you can draw that
inference. We are frank though to say
to say that as yet we have not seen any
thing in the acts of the President that will
Justify the abuse and slang with which
some Republican journals assail him. We
admire Andrew johnson for his patriotism,
his devotion to the Union, his love for the
Constitution, his steadfastness in the try
ing ordeal through which he has passed
during the dark and trying scenes in the
war. That he never quailed or tagged then
we know, and that the salvation of his
country was always his dearest object, we
do believe, and that he is as true a Union
man as iyes.-lNitchel Co. Press.

WHEN President johnson wishes to be
very forcible in expressing his hostility to
Congress and the measures of the Repub-
ican party he always winds up by de-
claration that he appeals to the people.
That is just what John Tyler used to say
in his day, and everybody knows how he
came out.-Republican Exchange.
How did TYLER "comc out ?" Are those
who write for newspapers Of to-day SO
poorly informed as not to know that Tyler
beat those who opposed him, altho' the
great Kentucky Statesman denounced him?
The election of AZ reversed the majority
IN Congress which 40 established, and
TYLER had support during his entire term.
In "A, "a small, Duck Creek, Tennessee
lawyer, called Polk" beat the eloquent
CLAY for the presidency. Van Buren's
ambition, anger or envy, induced him to
oppose CAss for the sole purpose of defeat
ing those who had, before that, given en-
thusiastic help to him. Taylor and Fill
more were elected. Taylor died within a
year and FILLMORE came on the stage. He
went for concession; sustained by Clay,
Webster, Crittendcn, Douglas and Steph-
ems; the compromise of 80 put off the
troubles of sectionalism for years. In 80,
the Hero of Lundy's Lane, the illustrious
Scorr--no greater warrior ever fought a
battle-was beaten by "a second-rate law
yer of New Hampshire" and why? Be-
cause PIERCE advocated common sense
democracy and Gen. Scott didn't.
Vetos are popular, for the reason that
they obstruct the course of an accidental
popular majority. Make a note of it
Remuneration will not change the facts of
History.
