have Insured the success oe The Dem
oerauc party. We never doubted
that the assassination was made in
the interests of the Democratic party,
and we now have the explanation Of
Its failure to accomplish its purpose
in the declaration Of the Herald that
that it MAS "ill-;imed."
Again the leading organ declares
that The military despotisms 1t the

radicalism to establish itself" Change

means in other words. that LOYALTY is
bad enough, bnt it is a political evil
which time and Democratic votes may
cure. lfvotes are any criterion by
which to judge, loyalty has been stead

iected by the He-dl9 Democracy p
The Hcrald has glimmer Of the truth
when il casts a dismal horoscope

that to defeat these military despot-
is.ns will be no light work." but it
swo.ls with Conscious Importance as i;
is struck with The brilliant idea that
the great labor may be accomplished,
not by opposing military reeonstruc-
ton. but by obtaining the control OF
its administration. Says the Rerali.
=" The people cannot now say the law
snail no, be executed, but they can
determine how it shall be executed. |
To secure this decision from the peo-
pie should be the purpose Of the Dem
ocratie conventions preparing for the /
canvass of 1883" /
The great work of the Democracy,
then, in the next Presidential cam
paign. Is to secure possession Of the
Government. and then so construe
and execute the reconstruction acts
OF Congress as to entirely defeat their
real purpose Of restoring the Union on
loyal basis, and to place the South
ern State governments once more in
the handso Of rebels. 1t can't be done.

A FIRE occurred a, West Union Sunday
morning, July 2lst, destroying buildings
and other property to the amount II SIS, 900.
We extract from the Union Extra:
O. A FIRE was discovered few minutes be-
fore o'clock this morning, in the hardware

opposite northwest corner OF public square
| Nhea discovered TIE fire was burning up the
side of the building between the hardware
store and the large brick building OF Messrs
Sturgis 4 Wells, and had gained such head
way that the few who first arrived at the
scene of the conhagration were unable to
check The flames. There is no clue given TO
the origin of The fire except tha, j, WAS the
work of an ucendiary. There had been no
FIRE III the building for two or three DAYS,
and none in the room in which the fire first
entered, for several months. and there was
no matter about the building which could
possibly have created u FIRE.
TIE night was very calm, with bat q slight
breeze from the south. which was most ia
vorab!e. In spite Of ali the efforts Of those
Who were Mt hand. the flames spread rapid.
Il, and it was soon wisely determined to fsht
the FIRE only from the south, at the brick
building, over which, if it had spread, nearly
the whole business portion Of our town would
rndonl tedly have been destroyed aud il was
onls by the aln,os, superhuman exertions OF
large number Of our citizens. both ladies
and gentlemen, that the fire was checked at
this point.

A few days since the Dubuque
Herald opened its warfare against
Col. Merrill by publishing commun-
ication, cstensibly written By form
er member OF the Coloacls regiment,
containing the most outrageous charg-
es against Col. Merrill's character as
an officer and n man. The aninus
Of the attack was SO plainly visible as
to carry with it its own antidote, but
the attack has been followed M in the
usual reckless manner Of that sheet,
and lest some readers of this paper
sAoald be misled by the Uera'3, $ mis-
representations which will be rehash-
ed by Democratic sheets and orators
all over the State, we publish the fol-
lowing statement and testimony of his
own regiment. Nearly every officer
anu member present signed the letter
given below. Their testimony over
throws ecrytiing which has been al
ledged against Col. Merrill by the
Democratic press.
.On the l7th of May. 1868. Col.
Merrill, leading his regiment in the
desperate charge at Black River
Bridge received gun shot wound
through both thighs, which came near
terminating both his military and
earthly career. General order 40.
loo. Of the War Department. contains
the following paragraph;
..Oiicers who have been absent for
more than 60 days on account OF
wounds or disease. contracted in the
line of their duty, and who are still
unable to return to duty. will be re-
ported 10 the Adiutant General Of the
Army for discharge"
Ii accordance with this order, Col.
Merrill, who At that time was not able
to walk without assistance, was re-
ported for discharge, and was by spe-
cial order No. 429, of the War De
partnent, honorably discharged, from
the service OF the Uui.ed States.
Under the same order Captains
Boardman, Harrison and Greaves. and

posed to the war; that he Wished 10

We desire 70 call the attetion of
those democrats who participated in
the late war on the Union side, as well
as the tender footed Republicans here
and there, who went into the Copper
head organization under the deceptive

TO the above frank and candid admis-
sion ofone of the ablest democratic
organs Of Iowa. That nine lenths OF
the democratic party at the COM
mencement OF the war were opposed
to it, is an Infamous SANDER upon the
thousands Of gallant and patriotic
spirits. who broke loose from that or
ganization and went into the army,
aud who are now (those of them
whose bones are not bleaching on the
Southern battle fieids.) nine tenths OF
them sound Radical Republicans.
But that nine-tenths Of the present
Copperhead party, under the lead oi
Mason. who is proven a disunionist
out Of the mouths of Judge Claggett
