been frank had he avoided all this
circunlocution and stated asa rea-
son for his action just what the fact
is q: that he constitutes the govern
ment Of New Orleans and of Louisi-
ana; that no law is law which is not
the expression of his will, and that
no officer is an officer who is not his
agent. .
Neither the constitution, nor the
president, nor congress, nor the SUI
premc court nor the state law, gov
ems in Louisiana to day. Nor in
the true sense, is there any COM
mon council. or municipal officer, or
court or jury, in existence there.
Sheridan is constitution, president,
congress, court, governor, common
council and city ofhccr-all in one.
This because his power is above all
other power, and his reign supreme.
And should Sheridan remain there,
the election which is to determine
whether a constitutional convention
is to be held, is to be no election,
but simply an expression of Sheri-
dams will; and the convention when
held, is not to be an expression of
the popular wish, but rehe ction of
Sheridan; and the constitution itself
when adopted is not to be the con-
stitution of the people Of Louisiana,
but the constitution Of Sheridan.-
Practically. the result is to be the
same thing as if Sheridan were to
sit down in some law Office in Wash
ington, write out a constitution and
send it down to Louisiana at the
head of squad of federal infantry.
All the preliminary proceedings
the registry, the election, the con-
vention, &c., are an empty and
meaningless mockery, restored to for
no other purpose than that Of con-
ccaling the hoof of the beast of ar
bitrary power. No wonder Pope
believes this system of reconstruct
tion Intellectual, unlesss enforced by
the perpetuation Of military power
or the Punishment of the reaction
airy leaders. '-Milwaukee News.

is bright. and seems to be built up
on sure and stable foundations. Let
us take brief glance at our pro-
grcSs in the past seventeen years,
and see if we have not sufficient
cause to be proud of our material
career, and to believe that Iowa,
within very brief period, will take
a position among the most populous
and prosperous central States ofthe
Union.
In 1850, according to the nation.
al census Of that year, the total
number of inhabitants in Iowa was
1872, PA. In 1860, by the same au-
thority, it's population had grown to
674,9l3. The ratio of increase
during the decade was 251.1 per
cent. In 1865. by the State census,
the population had grown to 75l,
125, and in this year, 1867, we are
informed that the total reaches 900.
600. Our State census, though in
tended to be thorough, and which
ought to be accurate, we all know
uniformly comes far short ola COM
pletc enumeration of all the inhab-
itantS. The causes of this we need
not stop to state or discuss. All
know the fact. Il has an ample H.
lustration in the census of our city,
as returned this year, which is, be-
yond question, short of the actual
population by a very considerable
number. If the returns throughout
the State come no nearer the truth
than those from Burlington, and
these returns foot up 900, 900, then
it is safe to assert that the popula-
ton of Iowa is to-day, not less than
one million.

STATE CONVENTION OF TIE PEo-
LES PARrY.-In the True Radi-
cal under the above caption we
find call for a State Convention
to meet at Davenport on the 18th
of September to organize a Peoples
Party and nominate a ticket for the
coming election. 1t is requested
that the several counties send as
large delegation as possible of
men who are opposed to the present
prohibitory liquor law, and are in
favor of judicious license law, and
who are in favor of the equal distri-
button of the burdens Of taxation
upon all classes and all kinds of
property, and the protection of the
tailoring classes against the en-
croachments of capital, and who are
in favor of such State legislation as
will submit to the people, the ques-
tion of striking the word "white'
from the State Constitution. Each
county is to have a vote in the con-
rention according to its population.

Itake this method of offering my
name to the people of this county
as a candidate for the office of Co.
Judge at the ensuing election. My
reasons for so doing are not that l
am in search of empty honors, but
that other goodiattcnding the office;
the fees allowed by law for services
connected with its duties.
The salary so generously voted
by the Board of Supervisors and
charged as taxes to you, l do not
ask and would not receive, believ-
ing it to have been voted without
warrant or authority of law. Be-
sides no man should accept public
duty whose Office be is unable to
perform, or unwilling to assume,
for the fees allowed by law. The
ponderous taxes legiti-ately levied
for Federal, State, and municipal
purposes are already impoverishing
the people, and should not be aug
mented by an illegal levy for servi-
ces amply paid for in fees. An in .
cumbent of any Office, unable to dis
charge its duties for the fees allow
ed by law, instead Of taxing the
people to raise salary not contem-
plated by, but in violation of the
law, should resign.
In presenting my name to you,
permit me to say that the suf-
frage of none is asked because l am
a democrat, unless they also believe
l am honest and capable, and would
discharge the duties assumed with
honor and credit to myself and sat
isfactorily NOT TO A PARTY, BUT TO
THE INTEREST AND WELFARE OF THE
PEOPLE.
My faith in the will and ability
of the proud old democratic party
te restore the country to its fermer
happy and prosperous condition is
firm and abiding, yet I know Of no
political duty belonging to the af-
fairs Of the office, hence ask no
mans support on party questions.
Anticipating that reports will be
put in circulation that | have with
drawn from the canvass this oppor-
tunity is taken in advance to cor
rect any such impression. This an
nouncement enters my name ON the
lists for the race. where it will re-
main until the election has come
and gone. No mans vote is, or
will be asked by me on party
grounds, but rather because of their
confidence in my fitness, integrity,
honesty and ability to dircharge
the duties of the office, pledging my
self if elected to endeavor to so dis
charge the duties devolving upon
me as to confirm and retain your
good opinion.
Very truly your obedient Sery-
ant.

Taxing Government Bonds.

The Democratic party hardly
knows what it means when it talks
about taxing goyernme nt bonds. A
few want to 60 the entire length,
and tax all bonds without paving
any thought to the contract made
with the purchasers when these bonds
were offered to the people. This is
simply and plainly REPUTATION.
If there is right to annul a part Of
the contract there is right to annul
the whole.-Decorah Republican.
Surprising logic to come from so
respectable a source. Shades of
Smith. Mill and Carey. Repudia-
ton to pay debt before due! The
Democratic doctrine is to pay off
the bonded debt of the United
States due or not, in Federal green
backs, stopping the interest on bonds
not presented for payment.
But the usually discreet manner
of the Republican seems to have
forsaken it in this article. No man
having sense enough to hold a gov
eminent bond in his own right, ex-
lists, but knows that under the Re-
publican's notion these bonds orig
mated with reputation as their
basis. Every contract for the pay
ment Of money prior to the green
back era was payable in gold and
silver. The contract was rcpudia-
ted and the debt if paid at all, paid
in treasury notes when one dollar in
gold would buy them nearly three
dollars to one. The soldier who
enlisted under the promise of $13
per month in gold, the only money
Of the L. S. at the time, found the
contract repudiated, and was COM
PEELED to accept payment in currency
deprecated to about one third the
value of gold.
Now we should be glad if the Re-
publican can inform us why these
bonds should not be paid in green
backs and the people relieved of the
constantly accommodating interest
on them payable scmi-annually in
gold?
Is the contract with the bond
holders to be respected when all
others for the payment Of money
have been repudiated in part by the
new system of currency? In pri-
vatc contracts the L, S. law paved
the way for reputation. In it's
own contracts with the soldiers it
led the way paying them the wages
they received in such money as one
dollar in gold would buy three of,
thus virtually rcpudiating two-thirds
of all that was due the soldiers or to
become due for their wages Really
VIC would like to know in what school
the Republican was taught its po-
litical economy when the payment
or redemption of the Bonds of the
L. s. is classcd as repudia ton.

It is natural that we should recur
occasionally to the growth of our
State, in population and material
wealth. Hitherto the increase in
all that gives prosperity and stabil-

aging. 1t still continues to be SO.

there, Mr.. Hawthorne of ii Alexandria,
was app pointed temp porary Chairman; J;
and Mr. sWhittl tlesey. Of the same
place, temp porary Secretary. "a recess
was then taken; TO appoint q Commit
tee to report on permanent offi sers.
J.W. Hunnicutt delivered o short
address, in which he counselled har-
mony in the deliberations of the body,
for they were this day looked to by
the whole country. and by hundreds
of thousands of blacks, whose fathers
had looked prayerfully forward to
such a day as this. The rebels of
Richmond and their press were look
ing joyfully for a, disturbance in the
convention, and he wanted them dis
appointed. This was mass conven-
tion, and he wanted all Republicans
represented in it. Those who could
not endorse the Republican platform
of April, might go home, US they
were not wanted here; any men who
came here to break up the Republican
party of Virginia were scoundrels and
hypocritcs, and would meet the odium
they merited.
Mr.. Tucker. Of Alexandria, moved
the appointment of fifty able bodied
men, to clenr the ground and keep
order for the convention ut the Capt.
tol Square, which was agreed to,
Before the meeting was fully organ
lied, several conservatives delivered
addresses; one of whom protested
against prescribing any man now for
his past political opinions, and assert
ed that the Republican party was not
strong enough in the State to throw
away such aid; it was not strong
enough at the North either,
After the appointment of commit
tees, &c, recess was then taken till
p. m.
During the recess speeches were
delivered, in which John Minor Bolts
and his clique were denounced, as
trying to make the Republican party
of the State subservicnt to his inter
ests. or break it up.
When the convection re-assembled,
Mr.. John Hawxhurst was declared
permanent Chairman. The platform
adopted in April was re-af1irmed. 4
proposition was made to conciliate
with the "bolters," who were holding
a meeting in another part of the
grounds; as it was declared impolitic
to enter the campaign with two par
ties, which would be ruinous. The
colored sergeant-at-arms seized man
by the collar who attempted to speak,
and row was anticipated, but finally
the convention adjourned, to meet
tomorrow, ut 10 o'clock.

which was carried. After arriving
