In our comments last week, on the
qualifications of the nominees of the
Convention, for County Officers, we in.
correctly stated that d. w. Foote, the
nominee for County Judge was law
yer. 1t is not our intention to misrep-
resent in any way the abilities or quail.
ifications of the candidates. As we
stated last week the ticket throughout
is worthy the earnest support of all.
Though not versed in the "hidden
mysteries" of legal lore, we may safely
say of Lieut.. Foote, that his practical
common sense and sound judgment,
aided by good executive ability, assures
us that he will creditably fill the office
of County Judge. We are informed
that he is n man of incorruptible integ-
rity, and has filled several offices in the
township and school district, with die
tinction asrs 2. RIGS.

A brutal murder case occurred at Pc
oria, Mahaska County, last week. 1t
secms that an old man by the name of
Ellis Jones had decided away all of his
property TO his sons, with the condi-
tion that they should support him the
rest of his days. On Tuesday morning
quarrel arose between the father and
n son sixteen years old about most
trivial matter. During the alteration
the son drew pistol aud shot his faith
or in the left side, inflicting wound
which caused the death of the unfortu-
nate man i'm six or eight hours. Public
opinion in that neighborhood seems to
incline to the belief that the affair was
q premeditated one, concocted by the
brothers, and that the boy who COM
mitted the act was merely made the
tool of the older but more cowardly
ones. In regard to the truthfulness Of
this opinion we are unable to decide.

Speaking of candidates for the next
presidency, IL 1t were time to give a
preference we don't know of man i'm
all this broad land, more capable, hon.
est or deserving than the Hon. Schuy-
Ter Colfax. We may hope, at least, at
this distant day, to see him yet at che
head of this great nation. The follow
ing is the closing part of his speech at
a serenade given him in Washington
recently. 1t is worth reading at any
time; .-.
With our duty to Our country and
on our oaths we could not affirm and
legalize this policy, and hence the
Legislative action we have since taken.
Approved in the past we have been. L
cannot even expect n more triumphant
Endorsement hereafter. [Applause. ]
The President appeals to the ballot
box; so do we, and by its decision we are
ready to stand or fall. In 1862,
in the darkest hour of the war,
amid disaster and reverse, the ballot
box sustained us, and returned Re-
publican majority to Congress. In 1864
we were compelled to accept all the
odium Of CONSUMPTION, the heavy bur-
den of taxation necessary for our ma
tional credit, and to keep our flag fly
ing i'm the field, the charges of our EN-
emies that men We're being drafted
from their homes to free negroes, and
the denunciation against the war as
failure but with the simple motto Of
"Our Country" under the lead of our
noble President-would to God he

the whole power and patronage of the
Government thrown in the scale of
enemies we appealed again to the bal
lot-box winning the most magnificent
victory. [Applause.] But this will be
eclipsed by the coming victory of
1868, when we shall place I'm the offices
of the Government men who will be
faithful to liberty. justice, and loyalty
we ask no more and will accept no less,
and this victory will be swelled by the
votes of the reconstructed South.

our legislation, they will return with
magnificent majorities for the right

Consistency.

Hon. Chas. Mason, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, has recently
issued an address to the people, or rath-
or confession, i'm which he evinces a
desire to cover up his wrong doings OF
the past. He says:
"From my Utmost soul have ever
most devoutly desired the welfare and
union of these States and the preserva-
ton of their free institutions. / be-
lieved that the war with all its disas-
trous consequences, might have been
avoided without any sacrifice of prin-
ciple or interest. i saw mischief-ma-
kers busily engaged, both at the South
and at the north, in fomenting dissen-
sions, and did what little 1 could to
counteract their efforts"
How does this language sound i'm the
face of undisputed facts that Mr.. Ma.
son opposed the war from the COM
mencement till its close, and was the
enemy of the soldiers, opposing them
i'm every manner within his power,
while they were in the field defending
and projecting their country from inn
pending ruin. How can ali intelligent
being, conversant with the history of the
past say that the war could have been
avoided without sacrifice of "principle
or interest,"" and we may add without
the complete overthrow of our Govern
ment. We do not at oil wonder that q
man with the record of Charles Mason
should ask that the ''past be allowed to
slumber." We think there is not on
record an instance of more cool impu-
dence than that of Mr.. Mason, with
the principles he advocates, aspiring to
the office of Chief Magistrate of State
with the enlightenment among her
people that Iowa has. .-...
Forget the lessons that the late war
has taught US; throw aside the record
Of the soldiers and forget the unnum-
bered households who to-day mourn
the loss of father, son or brother;
laugh at the thousands of noble men
who have lost limb or received a
wound in the army, that has entirely
untitled them for earning a livelihood.
Let all these be forgotten, and then
may the Democratic party hope to rule
ahd Charles Mason hope to be Govern
or of Iowa, aud not till then. ...E..

COnrreSs.

After session of seventeen days,
Congress adjourned until the 2lst OF
November, which may be termed a
recess until that time. Several impor-
tant projects were introduced, but the
time was mainly taken up with the
Reconstruction Act, which is thought
to be plain enough now as to not be
misapprehended or evaded by Presi-
dent johnson or Attorney General
Stansberry. The least observing can.
not fail to notice the good that has re-
suited from the re-assembling of Con-
gress. The condition of the South is
more encouraging and reconstruction

The st. Louis Times states that 5000, =
600 of the bonds of the North Missouri
railroad have been negotiated and as
q consequence, the road will now be
pushed forward as fast as means can do
it to the Iowa line" The Times says
that is an important fact as it will con-
meet Iowa and st. Louis, a considera-

The negotiations of these bonds fixes the

FREEDOM OF THE PREss.--At the re-
cent meeting of the City Council free
use of the new City Hall was rendered
to the Iowa Press Association during
its session at the time of the State Fair:
We dare say that this timely and official
recognition of editorial immunities will
not go unappreciated by our brethren OF
the press, particularly WHEN we assure
them that this is but an earnestof what
is to follow. We caa guarantee free

You are just starting in life, with the

Terrific Tornado at
Marion

A special despatch to the Dubuque
Herald, July 3lst, from Marion says
a tornado visited that town yesterday
afternoon, totally destroying Hygum
& Lassere's elevator, uprooting trees,
demolishing chimneys and breaking
thousands of windows. The tornado
was accompanied by terrific hail
storm which has greatly damaged the
crops i'm its path. The elevator Was
blown down directly across the track
Of the railroad. What the extent of
the damage may be is not mentioned
by our correspondent, and probably
cannot at once be ascertained. "
