IrExs.-An ordinance Of the city forbids
fast driving in the streets, yet there are some
who laugh the law to scorn, and show of
their .'nsgs" at the peril of doing an injury
to passers ........ All the quarries are 10 full
blast getting out rock, and We are to have
several additional brick-yards to the old list.
......... The ferry boats seemed very busy yes
terday. Still the travel westward continues,
and we learn, from our Eastern exchanges,
that the emigration will be greater this year
than ever before. OF course this part of
Iowa will receive its proportion of Western
home-seeking people......... The st. Louis
packets now arrive at very good time, very
seldom later than six oclock......... Many
private residences throughout the city are
being newly painted, thereby improving their
appearance, and at the same time adjoining
the city ...... Why don't each citizen see 70
il that the plank walk in front of bis premi-
| ses are kept in good order? A little atten-
ton to this matter, by each one, would save
the city hundreds of dollars yearly, and,
besides, would keep the walks in repair all
the time. II the suggestion is q good one
adopt and practice it......... The worst case
OF shat" we have yet seen occurred in the
city yesterday Bridges has ''slung OUT
. new and handsome sign. Have you seen
it7........ On and after Monday next the mail
train on the Valley road departs at so'cioek

!. A Crrr Railway company was organized a,
Davenport last Thursday. We are glad to
see this evidence of prosperity, in our sister
Hawkeye city. In the by-and.by, not far
distant, we hope to see like metropolitan pro-
gression here in our own loved city, at the
street cars, at the corner of Second and Main,
md enjoy good ride throughthe most popu-
lous, and neatly built city in all this Hawk
eye country. The destiny of Keokuk is fixed ;
il will ever be onward and upward. "Ex-
celaior is written on her banner. We have
shaken off the dust and ashes of the calamity
Of '57, and are recovering from the terrible
set back Of civil war, and intend to run fair
race with the other Hawkeye cities, for the
supremacy, and feeling that we have the in
eide track and are bound to win, we can

seonding almost impossible to even break q

A.S.S-4 .S.SINA TON OF UNION
SOLDIERS IN KENTUCKY.

Major James Bridgcwater, formerly an
officer in the Union army, and more re-
Gently connected with the Freedmen S
Bureau, was assaSsinatcd at Stanford, KY,
on Friday last The rebels of that neigh
borhood entertained the most intense ha-
tired of Major Bridgcwater, and previous
unsuccessful attempts had been made TO
murder him.
A correspondent of the Louisville COur-
ier writes TO that paper that the Major was
sitting in public room. engaged in play
ing checkers, when his slayers. eight in
number, walked in and shot him before he
could rise from his chair. He was killed
by the first discharge, though the eight
chivalrous Kentuckians did not cease firing
until fifteen balls had been shot into his
body. The murderers proceeded to Crab Or
chard, and delivered themselves up to a
sympathizing Justice ofthe Peace by whom
they were discharged on bail. The COu'-
icr's correspondent states that they are
''young men of the highest responsibility,
which means, in Kentucky parlance, that
they are young bloods, who drink whisky,
play cards, ride fast horses, and would con-
slider it disgrace to be found in any use
full employment
a few days previous. to this tragedy,
Finis H. Little, who had also been ma
ior in the volunteer service of the United
States, was murdered at Calhoun. Ken
lucky, by George Wright, ex-captain in
the rebel service.
1t is asserted by the organs of the Con-
federate Democracy of Kentucky that the
lives of ex-U Union soldiers are rs safe there
as in any other State, and we suppose that
is true of those of them who support the
rebel party, but soldiers of Republican pol
itics have about the same protection from
the laws in some portions of Kentucky as
Union men had in Texas while the war
was in progress.-Ind. Jour.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1867-08-01
PROGRESS OF LIBERIA.

The accounts from Liberia arc uniformly
favorable as regards the condition and
prospects of the African Republic.
A Agriculture is still the leading interest, and
the facility with which large crops Of su-
gar, rice, coffee, ETC.. are raised and put in
to market, gives promise of an important
development. One OF the largest planters
raised cane enough last year to make four
hundred thousand pounds of sugar, five
thousand gallons of molasses and two
thousand gallons of syrup. As wealth in
creases, mercantile enterprise becomes
more extended, the manufacture of sugar
is conducted on more liberal scale, and
the principal towns boast of better spcci-
mems of architecture. Ten years ago there
were only two sugar farms on the banksof
the ST. Paul river. Now there are more
than hundred.-B0ltinaore Sun.
The above does not tally well with the
Democratic doctrine that 'niggcrs," ifleft
to themselves, will degenerate into barba-
rians, and will work only under the stimu-
lus Of the lash, but great many demo
cratic principles have been exploded by
the events and experience Of the past few
years. Er.

y correspondent of prominent south
ern journal says: "Let us proclaim Grant
our candidate for the Presidency" and
adds, Il think we can trust him." What.
in The name of all that is sacred. has Gen.
Grant ever done, that gives this rebel the
liberty te cast such suspicion upon his
character az | loyalty? The idea of the
Democratic party nominating Gen. Grant
as their candidate is simply absurd. Just
think of Miliigan, Bowles. Voorhees,. and
the long line of dark lantern conspirators
cheering and yelling themselves hOarse for
Grant. They viii do no such thing. and
all this talk abont Gen. Grant as their cam
ddate Is only for the purpose Of damaging
his reputation with the truly loyal men of
the nation: and while upon the subject, let
us say just here that the Democratic party
will mex take a military man as their stan
darl bearer IN 1868. Their experiments
in that line have not proved rcmunerativc
in the past. and this time they will take some
such person as Pendleton. of Ohio, or Mr.
Hendricks, of this State. They will want
a msn who can rally all the factions to his
support, anil make respectable show of
strength This they cannot do with either
Union soldier or Vallandighamer. hence
they will, as Il matter of necessity, take
man who was on both sides, with all of his
sympathies with the rebels.
So far as Gen. Grant is concerned. he is
not Democrat, docs rot associate or aflil-
late with them; but is a confessed Republi-
can. He is not responsible for the use of
his name by Correrhead speakers and
writer's. who only desire to cling 10 his
skirts for selfish pufposes.-Il Ind. Jour.

UGLAsS.s AND BROEH-

ER.
A short time sirce, the Rev. L.
w. Conway, who has been travelling
in the Southern States, met in New
Orleans the brother of Fred. Doug
lass. He at ofce gave him a letter
OF introduction to james j. Spd-
man, of oar Office, requesting him to
assist him through this city, enroute
to Rochester, to find his brother.
Mr. Spelman has just received from
Mr.. Douglass the following letter Of
ackno wledgment. which we are sure
will be interesting to every lover of
his race:
ROCHESTER. July IL, 1867.
Ny DEAR SIR: On my arrival here
from Virginia two days ago l found
my lost brother Perry and his family
safely arrived at my house, and send
this merely to express my thanks to
yen for Your kind offices towards
him and them. The meeting of my
brother after nearly forty years sep
aration is an event altogether too af:
fecting for words to describe. How
unutterably accursed is slavery, and
how unspeakably joyful are the re-
suits of its overthrow. The search
now being made and the happy re-
unions Low taking place all over the
South after years ofseparation and
sorrow furnish subject of the deep
est pathos.
Truly yours, FRED. DotGfAss
