county, in this State:
II may seem little strange that
q county in Iowa should be named in
honor OF the great South Carolina
statesman. Yonwill not be astonish-
cd whenI tell you why il was SO
named. Tn 1s45 one JohnSG. Chip
man was elected member of Con-
gress from the Niles District, in Mich.
Iigan. He was Of notorious charac.
ter; a regular pirnp, devoid Of virtue.
lie was married to a lady in Maine,
with whom he lived some time at
Niles. He sent her to Maine on u
visit, to remain several months, over
winters until the coming spring !;
when he was to 90 after her. Tho
divorce laws OF Michigan were then
like those OF Indiana, and divorces
were granted On the most f',,nsy
pretoxt. OnecauSe as'being absent
from husband or wife sixty days
withoutjust cause. Chipmanappiied
for divorce IN one Of the courts Of
Michigan, and his wife failing to ap-
pear and defend, it was granted. He

Agricultural societies arc said to
be fast going to decay in Maine -
Horse trots have destroyed all inter-
est in genuine agricultural cxhibi-
tions. If a farmer or an artisan ex-
hibits valuable Improvement for the
benefit OF farmers, the society will
award him a diploma, perhaps sill
yer medal. If a horse jockey brings
horse on the ground ofa2:40 pace,
he will get a premiam of five hun
dred to one thousand dollars and no
question asked. WHAT'S true in Maine

Another Democratic Conven-

restaurants, proposes that a Conven-
ton be held Of those Democrats who
suffered from arbitrary arrests du-
ring the Lincoln reign. Snch a Con
vention could only be lodged and fed
I in New York City, and it would tax
our resources 10 the utmost. There
were arrested, without warrant or
any lawful process whatever, other
than the arbitrary oriers Of the Sec
retary at War, at Fort Donelson l5,-
900, at vicksburg $4,000, at Chat
tanooga 25,O0o, at Appomaitox and
the other closing arrests, say 100000,
beside an aggregate on other miscel-
laneons occasions Of about 100000,
making in all at least 425,00O Demo
Gratis arbitrarily arrested without
warrant or process during the Elm
coin reign" This would amount,

rared tables Of logarithms, to six in 4

State OF New York, including those

is too big. 1t can't be done. II the
