WHIsKEY.-The indictments against So

last week at Elkader, His Honor Nc

these cases have been pending and non
trial occurred on account Of absence of COM
planning witnesses. We understand that
the Judge gave notice that the cases would
be dismissed this term unless the prosecu-
tors were ready to take up the cases.
McGregor men charged with violating the
unpopular, imperative Maine Law y
went out in force on Monday, l4th, and all
came home, toward the last of the week
free from legal condemnation. In some
cases the jury failed to agree, in other
cases the testimony was nothing to the
point and so the whole batch went Shy

here last week at the failure to convict
but VIC learn that the Anti-liquor men in

possible. 1t is thought by some that thu

The McGrcgor Times in its last issue
attempts to read us lecture because Der
N-ord Iora Herold has come out as a Re-
publican paper, intimating rather coarsely
that we violated our pledge in not keep
ing the paper independent in politics.
In reply all we have to say, is, that as long
as we had control Of the paper it was in
dependent, and it was maintained SO to
the pecuniary loss of the proprietor. In
passing into the hands of the present
owners, they endeavored to establish the
paper on tirmcr basis by throwing its
Influence on the side of liberty and JUS
tice. The course of Mcssrs. Papin &
Quinke will be endorsed by every good
German, regardless of politics; for, We
know most, if not all, prefer party paper
to one which is "neither fish, flesh nor
fowl" The great mass of the Germans
in the United States are Enthusiastically on
the side of Republicanism, and they are
going to vote for Grant and Colfax next
November. If the Times desires any more
comfortable assurances it may read one OF
Carl Schurtz's late speeches.
The above is from our friend JOSEPH
(virtuous name in the Potiphar female
era) of the Elkader Journal. Joseph
speaks of "coarsely." Is it ''coarsely''
to say that man hires himself to the
public to make brides and saddles and
induces that public to believe he means to
do what he says and then the inducer

COLONEL RICHARDSON:
Ed. Times, lAcGrego, Iowa.-The
"Pocket Book protector invented and
patented by Alfred Arnemann, of this
place, has been very generally examined
by our most ingenious mechanics as well
as practically tested by others, and
has everywhere been pronounced one of
the most unique and valuable inventions
of the day. The pocket book when noun
ted with ARNEMANN's Protector, cannot
possibly be lost from any pocket in which
it may be placed neither can the most
adroit thief extract it from the pocket
without apprising you of the act a per-
son can only u deprived of his pocket
book, after he has been overcome by vio-
lence. This protector is not only adapted
to the guarding of the pocket-took, but
may be attached to the book used in
conveying money to or from the bank. 1t
is particularly adapted to the protection
of the watch being reat and ornamental,
it may be worn by lady, as a protector
of her watch, and be exposed to the view,
and when made from the fine metals, il
impa, is an Establishment to the person.
Like all successful inventions, we are sur
prised by its simplicity, and its being un'
thought of until now.
The article can be manufactured sc
cheaply, and adapted to so many different
uses, that there is little doubt, but it will
take wide marketable range as one Of
the many useful and valuable invention.
of the age.
The accompanying pocket book, having
the protector attached, Mr.. Arnemanr
desires me to present to YOU in his name
as an expression of his friendly regard.

The N. Y. Sunday Times thus takes of
the Herald. The election in Maine has
transpired since the publication of the
Times article and we suppose the Herald
will be rampantly Radical till it hears of
the democratic successes in October:
HERE SHE GOES AND THERE SHE GOES.
Since we last referred to the New York
Daily Fluctuator, it has again swung
round the circle. The result of the Ken
lucky election democratised it Tor few
days; but since the phenomenon of the
capture of Holland by the Dutch was
duplicated in Vermont. it has once more
boxed the compass, and is now radically
opposed to its previous views. Less than
three weeks ago the Fluctuator elected the
Seymour and Blair ticket b. In over
whelming majority. Now It consigns them
to utter and disastrous defeat with equal
certainty; but thinks, in conclusion, that
it will be better able to judge understand.
