State Fair.

We clip the following relative to the
State Fair from the Clinton Herald I;
Hon. Peter Melendy, President of
the State Agricultural Society, was in
this city last week on business con-
neeted With the approaching State
Fair, and after survey of the grounds
and some conversation with the men,
bers of the local committee, he came to
the conclusion that Iowa is to outdo
her self and most other states into the
bargain this yer. He assured us that
he never saw more favorable grounds,
and complimented the local committee
upon the promptness and excellence of
their equipment-being now in read
mess, and amply provided with all the
| necessaries and conveniences which
the occasion eau require. From the
notes of preparation abroad, there Is no
doubt that we are to have the largest
State Fair ever held in the state.
Every portion of our broad domain
| bids fair to be represented among our
exhibitors, and in some instances
whole county fairs are to be transport
ed entirely while Us for visitors, the
crowd will be immense, to say the
least, and every means of accom- moda-
ton will be taxed to the utmost.
Every vacant building, hall, room,
every available nook and corner, must
be opened to occupants, and even
then our resources cannot meet with
the demand. All who wish to bring
tents and camp out during the Fair,
will find beautiful camping grounds on
the bluffs, convenient to the exhibit
ton, aud admirably adapted to
the purpose. All now depends upon
the weather to insure d glorious success
Of the Iowa State Fair for 1S67-should
this prove suspicious, the exhibition
in point of inherent merit as well as in
attendance, will be much the best ever
held in the state. The time draws
near-only three more weeks and the
opening day Is at hand-Tuesday, the
lst of October. We trust that the inter-
vening time may we'll be occupied,
both at home and abroad; that the
energies of the people may not be
stayed for moment in their endeav-
ers to make this representative exhibit
ton their GROWING effort We have
been blessed with an abundant harvest,
and remarkable immunity from
disease. Let our State Fair be season
of jubilee-a statal thanks giving for
tho rich blessing which heaven has
vouchsafed to us. Every one who can
in the least contribute to its success.
should not withhold his means, while
all should feel 1t a duty incumbent up
on them to assist and encourage the
good work by their presence upon the
occasion. ssi

A change will undoubtedly soon be
made in the Freedmen's Bureau. The
President has declared his intention to
remove General Howard at all hazards.
1t is well known that General How.
ards actions have always met the APP
proyal Of General Grant, and his re-
moval will i'm all probability renew the
conflict of opinions between Grant
and the President. Since the refusal
OF Mr.. Langston to take the position
the President has concluded to offer it
to Fred. Douglas. Mr.. Douglas thinks
the Bureau necessity and is extreme
ly anxious that 1t should be continued
in charge Of some one kindly disposed
towards the people Of his race, but says
he could not consent to take appoint
ment at it's head from Andrew john
sou.

The Situation.

The political situation of the country
looks stormy. The President is evil
IDENTIFY chagrinned and disappointed
over his failure to secure the influence
of General Grant in support of his adj
ministration. Those claimed by him
as his most trusted friends are one by
one leaving him, Grant will not long
remain in the cabinet. The slight diff
ferences of opinion which at first exist
ed between him and the President have
grown into an open rupture.
Andrew johnson failed to find i'm
General Grant a tool. The General
will now be permitted to retire in good
order that acopperhead may be appoint
cd in his place. Geo. b. Mcclellan,
the Yorktown and Chickahominy hero,
is spoken of as the one most likely to
succeed to the office. ~
The late movements of the President
can only be construed as an open and
desperate struggle against the recon-
struction policy of Congress and such
men rs Sheridan, SickeIs, Pope, How
ard and Stanton, are found too loyal to
remain his friends. Those who have
not already been relieved, doubtless
soon will be. The New York Tribune
says of the President:
The end hoped for is political revo-
luton in the North and d rejection of
the conditions of restoration prescribed
by Congress in the South. Mr.. john
sons back stairs counsellors doubtless
assure him that, If the whole patron
age of The Government is transferred
to Democratic hands, they will thereby
be enabled o.ovcrbear last years mod
crate Republican majorities in New
York, New Jersy, Pennsylvania, &C.,
and thus secure Republican defeat i'm
the Presidential contest next year.
meantime, reconstruction is to be post
poned or defeated at the South, with in
tent to take advantage of the expected
Democratic triumph next year, and SO.
while enfranchising the Rebels, re.
nnand the Blacks to perpetual serfIom,
ifnot virtual slavery. r ~

The st Louis Democrat suggests the
meeting of Governors of the the loyal
States for consultation, at an early
date. The idea Is undoubtedly good
one, and should meet with a hearty
response. Under the circumstances,
it is proper they should understand
each other properly. A consultation
on the state of the nation can do no
harm, aud it may do great good. The
meeting of the loyal Governors during
the war had much to do with shaping
the course of events, and in view OF the
situation, il would not be inappro-
pirate that they again convene In coun-
ell upon the affairs of the nation. Act
ing I'm concert they will be sustained
by the loyal sentiment OF the country,
and may go far to check the disposition

The Des Moines Register says that
'tGen. Grant tomorrow, If he should
become the ally of Andrew Johnson or

the same level of degradation occupied
by Andrew Johnson #ar tsE.g.

radicalism, then.--DuJuque Herald.
Call it radicalism or by what ever

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

The political campaign in Ohio is wax
ing warm. ard the best speakers in the
country are being concentrated there by
both parties The principal issues sprung
by the Democracy.are on the questions
of financial policy and negro suffrage.
Geo. II. Pendleton is perhaps the ablest
speaker on the Democratic side. He
urges the redemption of all the govern
ment bonds in greenbacks at the earliest
possible moment and to create a sinking
fund of the interest saved by this pro-
cess AS the interest on 5-20s and the
entire 1890 bonds of March, 1868, are
payable in gold, on which there is now
a premium of forty cents. and the inter
est bearing debt of tn country is
50, ia 100000, Mr.. Pendleton is laying
out beautiful system whereby to flood
the country with currency aud make it
worthless, which is just what he desires
Besides the 1040 bonds have a long time
to run yet, and as we have paid off $246,
497 ,250 inside of two years, besides the
floating war debt not originally entered
as portion of the national debt, we are
in a fair way to extinguish it long ere
we could by Mr.. Pendleton's system, anC
without increasing the circulation of the
national currency. The United State,
reserved the right to redeem the bonds
\ in five or ten years after issue, and will
assuredly do SO whenever a loan can b'
effected at less rates than the interest o
the bonds. Mr.. Pendleton also favor
the payment Of the slave owners il
Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland tn,
value of their freed slaves, anountin.
to about one third as much as the ma
tionai debt. 1t is believed the people vii
reject the Democratic financial polio,
and the Democratic candidates by 5000
TO 10000 majority in favor of the Uniol
State ticket, while it is asserted on tn
same authority that negro suffrage vii
be rejected by 10000 to $4,000. Wad,
Sherman and a host of lesser lights ar
working earnestly for the Union caus,
while Pendleton, Vallandigham an
their confreres are actively engaged 70

THE MONTANA voLUNTEERs.

As was anticipated, the fat has gone
forth and the Montana volunteers are
ordered to be mustered out of service.
Gov. Smith has received instructions to
that effect from General Terry, com
manding the Department, and Colonel
Howie has proceeded to the front for the
purpose of returning the companies to
their respective places of enlistment pre-
paratory TO discharge. The command
now consists of $50 men, some of whom
have been in service since the middle of
April, and by the end of this month all
will have been mustered out. Having,
first and alone, during the early months
of the year called attention to, and urged
settlements from Indians during the
summer, IL is but right that we should
accord to the volunteers the credit they
well deserve. Their presence on the
Yellowstone has preserved this Territory
from spoliation and slaughter. The far
mers were abandoning the Gallatin by
hundreds, while the seed time was pass
ing and our people were slain on the
threshold of our settlements by blood
thirsty savages. Their wakiups lined
the Yellowstone their scouts noted ev-
cry movement in the valley. The Fort
Phil. Kearney massacre was fresh in the
minds Of the peole, and the same tribes
were approaching the Gallatin. The
citizens became alarmed and asked
assistance. General Meagher called for
volunteers to protect them, and they
| responded faster than arms could be fur
nished. They gained the key position
on the Yellowstone and carried succor
to a starving garrison of regular soldiers
through the enemy's country. Instead
/ of deserted houses, we now have wav.
/ ing fields Of grain and granaries stored
with an ample supply for the entire Ter.
ritory, where, had il not been for the
volunteers, would have been baTrenness
The eastern settlements, had it not been
for the volunteers, would have been to
day a scene of destruction. 1t is not
their fault that their victory has beer
almost bloodless. They have not beer
permitted or prepared to make any adj
vance upon the Indians, but they stood
wall of fixed, determined and brave
men between the settlers home and the
savage scalping knife, warding off tn,
blow that fell on Kansas, Colorado anC
. Nebraska. They have done all that mel
could do under the circumstances, ant
deserve the gratitude of this people.
