come through the exertions Of the president's
nearest friends, friends by whose efforts he was
at last chosen clerk with its large emoluments
aud patronage as his comnand-wheu we recol-
iect, too, how assiduouely he laboredto gain the
personal regard Of Gen. Pierce, his full conf
dence in all respects, BY assuming to be his most
devoted advocate-how he was favored by Gen.
Pierce's administration-how sycophantic he was
to every member of it, and how eager he was for
pelf-how he thirsted for ''more" until Judge
Nicholson was persuaded to allow him percent
age of the profits from the public printing which
yielded him Fifty or sixty thousand dollars-and
finally, how, after he had obtained all that was
to be had through the influence of the president,
he deserted him fer one whom he whningly said
had been father to him, and then, in turn, de-
serted that "father"--we say, when remem-

Railroad Rates.

From a table of rates published in the Mus.
Jour. we see that the NJ Il Nj road demands 40
cents per hundred for carrying wheat from Grin
nell to Muscatine, distance of lot miles while
at the same time they offer to carry it to Chica-
go, distance of 3Ol miles, for 81 cents per hum
dred Thus it will be seen, it costs cts. more
per hundred to have wheat shipped to Muscatine
than it costs to send it to Chicago. A legislator
who has sense enough to draw his pay, and
mathematics enough to reckon his board bill,
cannot fail TO see the object and effect of such
grossly and palpably unjust discrimination. If
the railroads we're impartial in the adjustment of
their tables Of freights there would not be SO
much cause of complaint. Competition would
then set the matter right. Chicago interests,
however. own our east and west roads and seek
to kesp the trade off the Mississippi, by discrim-
mating against grain that is to be delivered at
our river towns. legislator who cannot see
his duty in relation to this matter, ought to have
an administrator appointed to take charge OF
his effects, if he should by accident have
any effects.-7'lpton Advertiser.

RAMPANAGEOUS.

Mr.. Moulton, member of congress at large
from this state, was once respectable demo-
cras-never noted for ability, but was
clever democrat, made good caucus secretary
and all that sort of thing. During the war
he '.lost his reckoning" and turned up one
of the nastiest of the radicals, and, by that
party, was sent to congress. On Saturday
last he spoke . piece, on reconstruction, from
the telegraphic report of which we cut the
following:
oIn relation to the president, he said that until
recently he had the confidence of the Union par
ty, and that no honorable man could have be-
lieved that he would desert the party which had
defended him against the assaults OF traitors and
had elected him to the position he held. ingrat-
itude had been ever regarded as crime OF the
most damning character and yet, in his opinion,
ANDY johnson would go down to posterIty, not
only as the betrsyer of his party, but as an m
crate Infamous in all time TO come TO all honor
able men. Andrew johnson, he said, was III
tensely southern. He hated northern men as In
tensely as did Davis, Toombs, Beauregard or Lee.
This did the southern people know. Where, then,
is confidence in Johnson II was, in his opinion,
to say the least unfortunate that a man with In
tense southerner feelings and instincts should at
that time be at the head of this government
The pernicious consequences of it might require
the work of ages to correct and overcome"
After Mr.. Cullen Moulton got OFF, that
"briok," he ''sot down." evidently thinking
that he hal given President johnson a
''wusser" pill than the one Seward gave the
Freedmsn's Bureau. We are happyto learn
that the president still survives and confident
hopes are entertained of his recovery.
