The delegates from tie radical State of
Iowa to the National Convention were amos. ],
the noted men OF that Commonwealth, and
received marked consideration ON all hands.
In the Solliers' Convention were such men
as Governor Merrill, General N. Il. Baker,
General Dodge, and number of others
known all over Iowa aud the Northwest. Ii
was Major Henry O'Conner, Of Iowa, who
made the speech which was 80 magnificent
and laundering an usher Of the grea. Re-
publican gathering.
In the Republican Convention We Obscrv~
ed General williamson, General Dodge,
General Hedfiek, Peter Melendy, Esq, and
other influential men Of Iowa. There was
no stopping over" Of an Iowa delegate this
time, as at Bal ,imore four years ago. I, j.
fact worthy Of mention, that Iowa changed
its vote from eight for Colfax and eight for
Fenton to solid vote for Mr.. Colf,x FIRST Ut
all, and just in the nick Of time to secure his

The State is to be Congratulated upon its

on the early and decided stand taken on i'm.
partial suffrage. Two years ago it was made
an issue, and the State was carried b.
large majority. The Republicans OF our

Illinois is its Massachusetts-may well be
proud Of the position which Iowa now occu-

THE NOMINATIONS.
II was not necessary to hold convention
10 designate the Republican candidate for
President. The people had already decided
that they would vote for Ulysses s. Grant,
and nobody else. We tried for while to
persuade them that they could do better, but
they would not hear US. The nomination of
General Grant By every delegate from every
State and Territory comprised within the
boundaries Of our Union was simple proc>
lama,ion OF lat the masses had already de-
cided. The wild enthusiasm wherewith his
name .as hailed will roll irrepressibly from
the Bay Of Fundy to the Pacific. Apart
from all politics aud parties, the people are
for Grant and his vote will far exceed that
Of the most popular candidates for Governs
or, Congress, ETC., who may be run on the
same ticket. We predict that both his elec-
,ora and popular majorities will exceed
those OF Lincoln over Mcclellan.
Those who would fain make believe that
the soldiers who fought galanty for the I'm
ion are not heartily for Grant, deceive none
lot even themselves. Should Hat cock
be the Democratic nominee, he may possis
bly, poll one,tenth of the votes OF the Union
volunteers, with nine-tenths Of ,ha. cast by
their paroled prisoners who fought for se>
cession but, as a peace Democrat, we be-
lieve that Grant will make nearly clean
sweep Of the Unions defenders. Quite
number may still expect to oppose him on
partisan grounds but, lcng before tie cam.
paign is ended, the foolish calumncs Of his
assailants viii impel them to "vote as they
shot" As the well remembered long ,roli is
sounded in their ears, they canno. resist the
'soldierly impulse to /" fall in.''
General Grant will receive moro votes
from reconstructed rebels than could be OBJ
tanned for any other man who fought gal
lantly, successfully for the Onion. Faithful
to bis country and her flag, be was ever .
magnanimous foe; aud no man is more anx.
ious than lie that the bloody, hateful past
should be speedily obscured by genuine
fraternity and mutual good will. lie fought,
not to degrade and destroy, hut to exalt and
TO save. There is no other American in
whom all interests and all sections cherish
so profound a trust as in Ulysses S. Grant.
Hence, the strength evinced by the Repub.
licans in intermediate local ccntests win be
no measure, no test, Of that which will be
developed whea the people come to vote con.

THE JAPASEsE.-A writer in Pufaan's
Monthly Magazine thus sums up the happy
lot Of the Japanese:
Take the japanese as whole, high and
low, rich and poor, they are the best fed,
best clad, best lodged, least overworked, aud
most genial and happy people on the face of
the earth.
Food is abundant and eheap-imaginary
wants rare and thus temptations 70 crime
are less than with US, though the land is NO
Utopia.
There is no such thing as squalor to be
seen in Japan. In the house Of the very
poorest, Fifth Avenue belle might sit upon
the matted floor without soiling her dress.
The streets are admirably severed; oil DIAL
and garbage are removed for manure.
There is no bigotry. The people ara
wonderfully open-minded. There is no ha-
tired Of Christianity as such only il is feared
as an engine to cause political changes"

Riot at Ashcyiilc.

A riot occurred ut Asheyille, North Caro-
lima, on the day Of the Presidential election,
which resulted in the killing of one negro and
the woundlng of some six or eight others. Ac-
cording to the Ners, published at the place,
numbers of the negroes entered the town in
the morning armed with bludgcons and other
wise, declaring their intention to clean out the
whites; that many of them were bullying and
offensive In their department throughout the
day, and evidently intended to provoke u col.
lision. The immediate origin of the difficulty
seems to have been an attempt by the negroes
to beat one of their own race who had voted
the Democratic ticket. About n hundred ne.
groes and eight white men were engaged in the
muss. The blacks broke and fled as soon rs
fired upon. 1t is pity that the punishment
can not be made to fall alone upon the white
scoundrels who are standing In the back
ground and urging the negroes forward in 9
course which, If not checked, will ultimately
result in their destruction.

OH the night of the 9Th, the gun they were use

operation was performed by Drs. ALEXANDER

cast at the Athens Foundry especially for the
occasion, and the accident was probably caus.

near the railroad, aud piece of it, weighing

the firing at the time, but fortunately no ont

Southern Route and leave New York at I P
NJ. will reach Lynchburg the next night,
Knoxville the second day at noon and Nash
vile at 40 A. NJ. on the third day. BY this
change passengers will not be compelled to lay
over ut Chattanooga. First class through cars
are now run from Bristol to Chattanooga, and
return. 1t is also proposed to put on through
ears from Lynchburg to Chattanooga and re-
turn. This arrangement will, we are satisfied,
result in IL most formidable competition with
the Northern routes. in which the Great South.

According to Swedenborg, there are three
heavens, consisting of three orders of angels
the first distinguished for love, the second for
wisdom, and the last for obedience. All an
gels have lived on earth; none were created
such. They are men and women in every re-
spcct; they marry and live in society, in cities
and countries, just as in the world. but in glo-
ry and happiness ineilable. As there are three
heavens, there are three hells, and every an
gclic society has IN Internal antagonist. There
is no resurrection Of the body. Every one
passes to his final lot ut death.
