Because ofits gross excuses, its short
comings and its corruptions, the first
and most important thing necessary TO
be done, in order to remedy existing
evils, is to utterly break down and de-
stroy the Radical party-a party which in
its monstrous afiiliation with negroes, is
bringing utter abjectness and ruin upon
at least ten States of the Union, and
disgracing and crippling all the others.

Railroad Matters.

The impression is gaining ground in
this and adjoining counties that the new
Pacific Railroad Commissioners have
determined to report to the Government
the truth and nothing but the truth, in
relation to the manner in which the
United States donations in bonds, lands,
timber, &C., have and are being used by
the parties here controlling this vast
subsidy.
1t seems the Commissioners think that
since the Government has given the
Railroad Company the right Of way,
twenty sections of land per mile, forty
eight thousand dollars per mile in Uni
ted States bonds, and forty-eight thou
sand dollars per mile in first mortgage
bonds, and since the road bed, iron,
rolling stock and everything connected
| with the road is paid for by the people,
that the Government should know to
what political and partisan purposes
the whole concern, even to the men who
are constructing it, have been and are
likely to be put.
That the road is rery ordinary, second
class road, erery man ,cho ha, passed orer
IL knops.
That the managers of the road had
their own eoiored tickets printed, ped
died them out to their W employees,
and coerced all who were dependent
upon them for labor or other favors to
vote their yelior ticket, they themselves
will not deny. One Republican was left
| Off this ticket because he has, and is
prosecuting them, as his duty and oath
Of office requires, for the non-paymeut
of their just Z to the State and
county. That the road, rolling stock,
and every man under obligations to
them, was b~razenly and barefacedly
used throughout the recent political
contest to defeat an honest expression
of sentiment at the ballot box, all who
live in the vicinity Of the road know.
We suppose the object of appointing
Commissioners was to have some capa-
BILE and disinterested persons officially
here to keep the President fully posted
as to every thing relating to the road,
its uses, construction and management.
This being the case, we a inform the
Commissioners that, ifthey do their
whole duty, they have no small job on
their hands.-Plaeer Cdl.) Herald.

RIGHTLY and wisely administered, in
the interest of liberty and of loyalty,
the plan of reconstruction put forth by
Mr.. johnson promised at first to accom-
plish all that was necessary; and so
Congress thought when it met in De-
cember, 1865, and for months after
wards. 1t was generally held by the
ablest Republican members that the
plan favored by Mr.. Johnson would give
peace, law, order, security, to all class
es, and that for the rest it would mako
1t to the interest of the southern whites
to give the blacks the vote, and thus
bring about that great and necessary
reform, slowly but surely, and without
the direct interposition of Congress.
During the session, from time to time,
Congress, as the temper Of the South
ern spirit developed, passed measures
shown to be necessary; but the Presi-
dent, blind, obstinate, bent upon carry
ing out his own will, vetoed and OPP
posed such measures rs the Civil Rights
Act, and thus showed u spirit hostile to
liberty, which continually encouraged
the Southern leaders to new acts of op-
preston and wrong, until it became
plain that only by giving the blacks the
vote, and protecting them temporarily
until they had secured it, by military
power, could justice and peace be made
secure in the Southern States.
But while all lovers of liberty in the
country see this, Mr.. Johnson sees moth
ing but his own plan, his wi will, his
own misunderstanding Post.

Presentation. Fred. Hutchins, an
old citizen of Humboldt, and n leading
member for several years, from this
county, in the State Senate, has arrived
here from Carson City. We learn that
he has returned to reside with us again,
and will go into the practice Of medi-
cine. He is not only a first-class physi-
clan, but is enc of the sharpest politi-
clans iu the Republican party. In
politics he maintains what he thinks is
right, boldly and fearlessly, and is
always ready to denounce corruption
and fraud in high places, as well when
it exists in his Wi party rs among the
opposition. His whitening exposure of
the corruption among some of the Off
cials at the State Capital last winter
has done him great credit among the
honest masses. We are glad to learn
that he is unqualifedly opposed to me-
gro and Chinese suffrage, and opposed
to any of the inferior races taking the
place of the white laborer. But we are
sorry to say that since General Stafford
visited our county we find several of the
leading members ofthe Republican party
in this county ready to swallow negroes
and Cinnamon both, for the sake Of
party. We are of the opinion that Mr..
Hutchins will make the party in this
county %repudiate the mongrel heresy.
If he does not, he may be assured that
the people will repudiate both him and
his party, aud we have no doubt they
will repudiate the party any way

TIE It'll of September, was the Bra
lillian fourth Of July, the anniversary OF
the independence of Brazil; and on that
day, this year, according to a proclams-
ton issued last December, the Amazon,
the great river, or King of Waters, as
the Indian name Para signifies, was
thrown open, from the Atlantic to the
boundaries Of Peru. Henceforth all
nations may freely use their great high
way Of commerce, which gives steam
boat navigation from the Atlantic Coast
to within ninety leagues Of Lima. Peru
has alss by treaty with Brazil, and by
a former treaty. with the United States,
granted the free navigation other ANA
zonian waters. Navigation thus ex-
tends almost across the continent. The
Morons, a sea-going Peruvian steamer,
built by the Penns of London, assembled,
in October 1864, from the mouth of the
river to within ninety leagues ofths city
of Lima.

As announced in former issues Of
this paper, the GAZETTE enters upon its
eight volume under new administra.
ton, and, we trust, not unfavorable aus.
pieces. In assuming the editorial man
agement of the GAZETTE, we are not
unmindful of the important and num-
berless duties devolving upon us as a
stranger among you. We make no un-
warranted promises, but shall labor
earnestly, and untiringly for the adj
vancement of every interest in which
you are locally or generally interested,
and to present those interests, as well
as the many natural advantages of this
locality, favorably to the people abroad.
To accomplish this we intend making
the local department. in future the main
feature of the GAZETTE. In this we
ask your friendly aid, and will always
gladly receive any suggestions tending
to the accomplishment of these objects.
The friendly greeting already extended
to us by the citizens, stimulates US to an
unselfsh discharge of our duty. r
With the view of accommodating all
classes, we shall devote proper amount
of space to miscellaneous reading.
To the farming community, whose
interests are so inseparably linked with
ours, and upon whom we all lean for
support, we would say that we propose
making agriculture one of the leading
objects for which we shall labor, and
shall each week devote considerable
portion to the interests Of the farming
community. Having been promised
the assistance of some of the leading
farmers of this section, we hope, by an
expression of their views through oar
columns, to show our friends in the
East, what eastern men can do with
western ideas, and by candid exhibit
OF the unbounded resources of this re-
gion, induce the farmers from other
states to join their interests with the
already large number who have settled
among US, a asa na
In the expression of our political
views, while we shall ignore all private
schemes and selfish interests, we shall
labor untiringly and earnestly for the
advancement of the recent measures
adopted by the seth Congress; firmly
believing them to be the only safe and
reliable adjustment of the important
questions of the day. In word we
shall strive to represent loyal Iowa, by
advocating those principles which we
deem to be to the true interests of the
State, and prosperity of her people.
