The Governor.
Col. Merrill's show for nomination is
improving dsily. So far as we know
our exchanges with the Republican papers
Of the state are not extensivc--but by the
extracts from many Of them we regard the

selves American citizens.
Hon J. D. Grinnoll is spoken Of, but We
think his chance is not good. Certain
events have recently transpired which go
to prove that there is already rupture in
the party which may require a more ex-
tensive truss than their national conven-
ton can furnish. When Butler charges

hero Of Fort Fisher" "a man who lives

zeal terms toward each other-when Fessen

Phillips curses Congress in heap-when

know that Col. Merrill is not an imprao-

defeat earnestly but honorably: his nomi-

may defeat the Republican nominee for
Governor; but the odds are against US,
and hence if Republican is to be elected
we prefer one from that portion of the
State which never has had representa-.

therefore most gratefully accepted. Send

Weather, Markets, 80.
The weather is moderating at last. The
ice is giving way and we hope our next is

James MasGregor, Jr.
We mentioned, briefly, last week the
melancholy ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the death
of the person whose name captions
this article.
The New York Times of March 26th,
just received, contains the following:
MAcdaEeoR.-On Sunday, March oath, t..the Gram
ercypark House, of disease of the heart, JAMES MAC
GREeoR, JR, late Of tho City of McGregor Iowa, in
the 9th year Of his age.
HE friends and also the friends Of his nephew
o'clock P. NJ, At the Gramercy-park House.
On Tuesday, March 26th, ex-Mayor
Leffingwell of this city, nephew of
the deceased by marriage, received q
dispatch giving information as above.
The deceased had long been resident
Of this city. Himself and brother
Alexander (the latter died many years
since) unfortunately for all the resi-
dents here and 1--WE think for them
selves, cultivated a lawsuit as to prop
erty title which resulted in an entire
arrangement for the latter years of
their lives. They are now in the other
world where property discussions will
not be subjects of litigation. Both
were men of good qualities, but both
were as immoveable in their demands
for what they thought was due them as
can be imagined. We pretend not to
judge them: they have each passed
through the court of the SUPREME
where all who read this must shortly
appear. When Alexander died our
city paid municipal and personal hon
or to his memory; it was therefore
proper that the following proceedings
should have taken place:
At special meeting of the Common
Council of the city of McGregor, held
March, 9th. 1867, it was
Resolved, That the members Of the
Common Council have learned with
deep regret of the sudden death of
James McGregor, Jr., long . resident
of the City of McGregor.
Res0lUed, That we recognize the loss
the people of this city have sustained
in his death and that for his deep in
terest-always manifested in whatever
concerned the welfare of the city which
bears his name-we are deeply sensible;
and that the poor, who never solicited
his charity in vain, have lost kind
and liberal friend.
Resolved, That as a mark of public
respect due to the memory of the de-
| ceased, we recommend and request
that all places of business in the city
be closed on Wednesday, from l o'clock
p. m. to 5 o'clock p. m. of said day.
D. HAMMER, Mayor.
d. BAuGH, Clerk.
Mr.. Leffingwell informs us that the
deceased had been to morning services
with Mrs. Buel, his niece; had eaten
a hearty dinner and while arranging
his person for the services Of the after.
noon he fell PROSTATE and In few
minutes he was dead!

LIE N II.

"And Jesus led by the spirit into the wilderness
being forty days tempted of the DEVIL And in thos,
days He did eat nothing"
Forty days and forty nights
Thou fasting in the wild;
Forty days and forty nights
Tempted, and yet undefiled.
Sunbeams scorching all the day;
Chilly dew-drops nightly shed;
Providing beasts about Thy way;
Stones Thy pillow; earth Thy bed.
Shall not We Thy sorrow share,
And from earthly joys abstain,
Fasting with unceasing prayer,
Glad with Thee to suffer paint
30 shall We have peace divine;
Holier gladness ours shall be;
Round us too, shall Angels shine.
Such as ministered to thee.
Keep, o keep US, Saviour dear,
Ever constant by thy side;
That with Thee We may appear
At tn eternal Elster-tde. Amen.

iting thing you can't PREVENT
Murder is an awful thing, yet it COM
menced almost coeval with the creation,
and the whole force of civil, Divine and
community DEGREES have not been able to
Danish it. At this day murder is more
prevalent than ever. The fact is you can't
prevent it! Now what is the use of max
ing such an onslaught or thing that is
bound to live, thrive and grow? Then,
there is stealing in its various forms; it
crops out everywhere, even in what would
be supposed to be very unpropitious pla-
ces for it. Every nation, state, county and
town has its trained and skilled men who
hunt it down and squelch it at every OF.
portunity. At this very time, after o pro-
hibitory warfare which commenced "be-
fore the memory Of man." and has been
sedulously and persistently kept up for
thousands Of years, stealing is enormously
prevalent, 80 that each may suspect and
watch his neighbor-and be right half the
time.
Now this prohibition law is failure
Some palms will itch to do what you may.
Would it not be better to license few re-
spectacle, moral men in each town to do
all the stealing, then it will be easy to
hunt up stolen property, and these licens-
ed men will be very efficient guard to
keep unlicensed devils out of the business.

The great event, on Wednesday, at the
Scott county fair, was the trot between
"Bashaw Jr." formerly called "Bull of the
Woods') and "Sam Kirkwood." Bashav
Jr. is owned by Perry, of Upton, Iowa, and
Sam Kirkwood by Fl. Compton, of Musca-
tine. Mr.. Compton has been staying in
Davenport, of late, and Kirkwood is, there
fore, called q Davenport horse.
The trot was advertised at 8 P. M. but
did not, owing to other races, commence
until P. M.
The attendance was large, and the feeling
largely in favor of Kirkwood, but Bashaw
Jr, won the race, easily, in three straight
heats-time 2,32, 2,2s, and 2,2sa. There
was loud applause for Bashaw Jr. but very
little of it came from Davenporters. The
handsome square trotting of Bashaw Jr. his
great speed, and unequalled powers of endu-
rance commanded great admiration. Had
he have been Davenport horse, the ap-
plause for him would have been unbounded.
The purse was $500.
