way Take the horse into brook or stream
Of water deep enough Ia. nearly reach his
body, and fasten him there with his head SO
high that they cannot drink. If the weather
is warm keep him there several hours -
Then remove him and rub his legs to pro-

process two or three times and cure will be
effected. In the winter twenty minutes will
be long enough to keep the horse in the wa.

SUICIDAL END OF A MURDERER
We are informed that the citizens of

had committed suicide by taking

been offersd for him, and detectives
have been upon his track ever since
He was detected and taken into GUS

But as they were on their way from
Council Bluffs he took dose of strich-
nine which it seems he had concealed
in his clothing for that purpose, bav-
ing made up his mind never to 90 to
Michigan alive. His body was box
ed and taken to his home by the de-
tectivcs on last evenings train. He
was splendid looking young man,

DEAD.

Saturdays Hdwkeye brings us the
sad intelligence Of tho death of Gen.
G. L. Mathies, which occurred in
Burlington, Friday evening last,
very suddenly-of congestion Of the
Liver, and general arrangement 0

Gen. Mathies had the distinguished
honor, according to Capt. stuart's
'lowa Colonies Of having been the
first man in the United States to ten
der a company to the government to
put down the rebellion which was
done through Governor Kirkwood,
Jany. 9th, 1861.
He was born in Prussia, in 1924
served as an officer in the Prussian
Army, came to Burlington about 20
years ago where he has resided since
as an honorable and highly respected
citizen. y at2 's.s5j ~
He was Capt. Of Co. D, list Iowa, at
Wilson's Creek, was 1t. Col, and Col.
9Th Iowa, which regiment he com
manded in most skilful and heroic
manner at 1uka and elsewhere.
He was wounded badly at Mission
airy Ridge, from the effects Of which,
and bad health, he shortly after re-
signed. ~
He was made a Brigadier Gen. for
Iuka, and was brevetted Major
Gen. at the close of the war. p
He was elected State Senator from
Des moines Co. on the resignation Of
Fitz Henry Warren, position he
held at the time of his death.
In Gen. Mathies' death, the Repub-
lican party has lost one of it's
staunchest defenders, the State SOL
der without fear or reproach, and a
citizen most universally respected for
his noble traits of character. Peace
to his ashes! "''Ia e

Irishmen. Take Notice,

lrishmen, you all know by reputa-
ton, your fellow countryman, Hon.
VIM. E.Robinson, Of Brooklyn, NY,
who, in the 10th Congress, SO man.
fully stood up for your rights, and
was such a gallant defender of Feni-
anism on all occasions. The Demo-
cratic party that pretends to love You
with such tender affection, so long as
you allow yourself to remain their
obedient voting machines, have i'm.
ported Gen. Henry W. Slocum, from
Syracuse. and kept him in Robinson's
DISCREET long enough to make him
eligible to q scat in Congress, and
have just now nominated him over
Robinson.
It's the old story illustrated anew.
They love the Irish so long as they
are willing to become their passive
instruments, and no longer, and were
Irishmen generally Republicans Gas
they will be ere long, you would find
this aristocratic, pro-rebel, pro-slavery
party denouncing them just as hear
tily for their ignorance, brutality
and general unftness to cast the bal
lot as they now do the unfortunate
colored man. al
An Irishman has no business in any
other party except the glorious Re-
publican organization, that not only
processes but fights for all rights for
all, and equal and exact justice, and
legal and political equality, for all
men that God Almighty made, ire
spective of race, color, OF religion.

The Richmond Press on the
Situation.

We are indebted to our ola friend
Col. 7. II. Stanton, U. S. A., for the
three leading Richmond papers, to-
wit: The Wing, Enquirer, and Dis
patch, of the morning after the recent
elections, each one containing double
loaded editorials on the result.
The Richmond papers are vastly
superior to the common herd of dem
ocratic journals in point of ability !;
and having been once soundly licked,
they have now sense.enough to know
that they are licked again. Tho
Wing says
"The elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska are re-
ported to have gone in favor of the
Radicals. The details and maiorities
are not, Of this writing, known to us.
The results enough-and that, we
suppose, foreshadows quite distinctly
the result of the Presidential election.
We, who justly appreciate the power
ofthe sword and have very little faith
in universal suffrage, are not very
much disappointed. 1t is written
that everything happens for the best;
and Mr.. ADAMS wisely admonishes us
to possess our souls in patience.
The Enquirer says:
"The returns from the elections in
the North last Tuesday, indicate the
triumph Of "the party of the war
If the accounts already received shall
be verified, it will be clear that the
contest has been strictly sectional
one-the North against the South
In such a case we have never permit,
ted ourselves to suppose that the re-
suit could be otherwise than q victory
of the section in which the contest
took place."
And this from the Dispatch shows
that it has struck in on it worse than
on either of the others:
The premonitory elections of Tues
day settle the question Of the next
Presidency in almost every mans
mind, wesuppose. Not having deem
ed any other result probable, we have
not to add to our deep grief at this
result the sharp pangs Of disappoint-
ment.
We conjecture that there will be
now no very vigorous fight over the
Presidential election. The whole
strength of the parties, including the
immense means they had concentra-
ted to influence the opinions and votes
ofmen, having been exerted upon the
struggle of Tuesday, we imagine tina
the defeated party will hardly con-
tinue the contest. 1t is clearly with
out hope.
That the canvass has been most
wretchedly mismanaged is indispu-
table. The nomination made by the
Democrats was the worst they could
have made ont of the list of leading
aspirants they had before them"
After this frank surrender of the
big guns of the democracy, one would |
think that the pop guns would make
haste to run up the white flag and
make virtue out Of necessity. So
hey would, had they the capacity to
comprehend and the honesty to adj
nit the stern logic Of the State cleo
ions. Upon the contrary, they will
continue to delude theirreaders with
he idea that Sey mour and Blair are
eally running, until they are buried
ut Of sight in November.
