Change ofpolicy.

Contrary to general expectations,
just before the adjournment of Con.
gress, the President signed two joint
resolutions passed by that body, which
gives the loyal people of the country a
chance to hope that there may yet some
good result from A. Johnson's corrupt
administration. One was the resolu-
ton directing the Secretary of War to
furnish Gov. Brownlow 10000 stand oil
arms to equip the militia of the State
both white and black-for the preserva-
ton of peace and give security to life
and public property. a-a
The other, was resolution suspend
ing all proceedings in relation to the
payment Of slaves, drafted, or received
rs volunteers in the service of the Uni
ted States.
We cannot conceive now, what sell
fish motive could have induced the
President to sign these resolutions. On
the last named the Chicago Tribune
says: ... ra. ~
The law will save the Treasury sew
eral millions of dollars which other
wise would have gone into the pockets
Of "loyap' Copperheads and rebels
whose former slaves ran away from
them and enlisted I'm the Federal army
to help put down the rebellion. The
dill providing payment of $500 to the
STAKEHOLDER for each of his slaves that
enlisted, should never have been
passed. /. was wrong i'm principle,
and useless i'm practice. 1t never made
q Unionist of one stakeholder; it only
served TO render them more impudent
and difficult to please and placate. IF
anybody is entitled to the $500, it is the
black volunteer-not his rebel-sympa-
thizing task master."

This is question which forcibly
suggests itself to the minds of the
thinking class of Iowa, as the time
draws near when this important ques-
tion. must be decided, and as nomina-
ton Is equivalent to an election, great
care should be taken in the selection of
candidate. The remark has become
common, and is not without its force
and truthfulness, that the best qualified
to serve as State officers do not always
get the important positions. Merit and
true qualification for the position seems
to have been forgotten, until 1t has be-
come an undeniable fact that the men
who can pull wires the best are the
ones most likely to succeed to the of
flee. - Hia
We ask how long will this continue +?
When will men be chosen for the Office
rather than the seeker be allowed to
choose the office?
The position which Iowa is taking
along with, and we may safely say, in
advance of many of her other sister
States, demands for our next Governor
man of sound judgment, decision of
character, of irreproacnable political
integrity, temperate habits, and, above
all, true, radical republican, whose
record in the past leaves no chance to
doubt his course in future. Such a,
man, we believe, may be found in the
character and life of Col. Samuel Mer-
rill, of Clayton Co. We are told that
Col. Merrill is christian gentleman,
without stain on his public or private
career; possessed Of good, strong sense,
great firmness, and much intellectual
culture and, withal, practical BUSH
ness man. His record, too, as soldier,
cannot be questioned. .s
Such man we hope to see the next
Governor of our proud and prosperous
State, and the more earnestly do we
urge the nomination of Col. Merrill,
from the fact that he was born an abo-
litionist and has always been true to
the principles of human rights.
We want good sound man in the
broadcast and most liberal sense, for our
chief executive, and such Governor
we feel confident Col. Merrill would
make. en }9bH ast @g nj
