VASpALrsa.-A piece Of most heartless
vandalism was recently perpetratcd in the
cemetery by some unknown person. A

aiTectionat. character of III. little lost one

As contrast to this precaution. we might
instance the bridge over the Des Moines, at
Fort Dodge. A large amount Of money had
been expended upon this structure, but the
piers were LEFT entirely unprotected, and as
consequence the combined power of ice and

fragments, leaving bat poor wreck Of what
was designed 10 be one Of the finest bridges
in the State. The peculiarities Of our Iowa

COMPLIMENTARY.

Our contemporary, the editor of the
sublime and inimitable sheet, miscalled
the " Union Herald," in noticing the
Republican nominations of this county,
makes use of the following beautiful and
complimentary language: Greeley's
blockheads held their primary election
on Saturday last, (Juue lst., aud the
Convention met on Mon1ay." If the
man who penned this language was not
known to possess very great amount OF
blockheadism, and t. be about az igno>
rant as the least educated of the Rcpub'
lican party it might be necessary to
notice him. We do not believe in whole
sale denunciatious and base vituperation,
but we think it i'll becomes man who is
connected with as much ignorance, bigot
ry, and superstition, politically, as the
editor of the Herald, to call large,
respectable and enlightened portion of
the citizens of Butler county, "Greeley's
block heads" " Men who live in glass
houses should not throw stones" Men,
who all their lives have advocated sla-
very, whiskey and ignorance, should be
the last to call their peers and superiors,
4" bockheads." The language, to say the
least, is indicative of narrow, vindictive
and contracted mind, and could only
emenate from ignorance or wiltul hatred,
as no gentleman, or man of good common
sense, would be guilty of applying such
low phrases to those who arc his equals,
and in many cases his superiors. When
the editor of the Herald speaks again,
we would advise him to remember his
political status.

For the Citizen.



Nh. EDIToR:-After the late discus
sion of this question, we naturally ask
has any good been d,ue2 If the pref
udice heretofore existing between Psalm
and Hymn singers has been decreased,
then, good has been done but if it has
been increased, then harm has been done.
There is no difference between Psalms
and Hymns, except that the latter are
often smoother verse and better english .
The ideas expressed and intended to be
expressed are generally the same, and
God will hear both according to the siu>
cere and good intention of he worshiper.
If the desire and design be to praise God
for his goodness, justice and mercy, the
matter'o the appropriateness Of the lan-
guage may well be left to each individu.
al aud all controversy falls to the ground.
Let each man, if he wishes, compose a
psalm or hymn to suit his own particular
circumstances. and tune of his own
fancy, if the desire and design are good,
all is we'll. The heart is not the fruit of
the composition, but the composition is
the fruit of the heart.
As to inspired Psalms or Hymns, we
have none in the English language, from
the simple fact, no Englshman was ever
inspired. If the Psalms Of David alone
should be sung because of inspiration,
then the Jews are the most consistent
worshpers. They use the Psalms of
David to the present day in their Syna>
gogues, but they always use the original
Hebrew language. The identical words
of inspiration But-That God created
all things That man fell That Christ
made an atonement for sin; That he that
be.ieveth shall be saved That the wick.
ed shall perish That there will be day
Of Resurrection and of Judgment These
are truths of inspiration and may be ex
pressed in hundred different languages
and in n hundred different forms 10 each
language. The inspiration is in the truth,
not in the particular words used If
we love God with all our heart, body.
mind aud strength, aud our neighbor as
ourselves, then our songs will be songs Of
love, and God will be our refuge

Erie and PittsDurgh railroad.

The extension of the Erie and Pitts
burgh Railroad by the Connoquenessing
and Pine Creeks. it is said will soon be
commenced. The Youngstown (Ohio)
Courier, in referring to this improvement,
remarks that +" this road runs through
valuable coal fields, and large tract of
the territory adjacent il owned BY some
of the Youngstown coal operators. It
will also affect, in measure, the local
traffic in coal and minerals. From let.
Ger before US. containing the reports ol
parties interested in the coal depositss
along the line of the route proposed above
we CLEAN the following particulars =
Speaking of the drilling on Pine creek
in Allegheny county, the report says that
three miles above Sharpsburg, on the
Shaw farm, the upper vein of coal now
worked by the rolling mill company Of
Msssrs. Spaug, Heron & Co., is FIVE to
fve and half feet thick. The second
vein, which is sixty feet below the first,
is seven feet thick, and the third vein,
two hundred an sixteen feet from the
surface, is twenty four feet thick. Far
ther up the stream, on the Rigby farm.
are reported vein Of upper coal, and
also vein of Black Scotch Iron ore, 40
feet thick, which will yield an average
of 10 per cent iron. About mile above
this is an exposed vein of rich Kidney
iron ore, six feet thick, yield about 40
per cent. On the Witezell farm, at the
mouth of Mountain Run, the drill dis.
covered at seventy feet below the surface,
a seven feet vein of coal, and at the depth
of 200 feet, a twelve feet vein.

The Next Presidency.

Tie New York Times discusses this
question at length, starting out with the
declaration that "the rising tide" is un.
mistakably for Grant 1t thinks the po-
sitiou of the General makes him stronger
than any other man, both as to principles
and expediency that his wish not to be
considered a candidate is in his favor and
an element of strength, and that in what>
ever light the question of candidacy is
viewed he stands foremost. The Times
concludes It's article as follows:
We look forward to the nomination
of General Grant by the National Cons
vention OF the Union party. That the
most strenuous efforts will be made to
defeat it is sufficiently evident from
movements already made public The
entire machinery of the Republican party
in the Southern Stutes is in the hands OF
his opponents, and the representatives of
that party in the Convention, elected, as
of course they will be, wholly by negro
votes, will probably be cast against him.
But the great body of the Union party
IN the North aud West will, unless we
are greatly mistaken, become so satisfied
that the existence of the party, as well
as the welfare of the country, depend
upon his becoming candidate, that we
have very little doubt of that result"
