Tn the. United States Senate,
Mayo, 1862, in reply TX. Mr.. Sher-
man, of Ohio, speaking Of the bat
tie of Pittsburg Landing, Rev.
James Harlan, Senator from Iowa,
said: .5ar1lar
From all that I can learn on
the subject, / do not think that
General Grant is fit to command q
great army in the field. y = y
a.t" The Iowa troops have been in
battle repeatedly under the COM
mand of General Grant. They
have no confidence in his capacity
and fitness for the high position he
now holds. They regard him as
the author OF the useless slaughter
.of many hundreds OF their brave
comrades in arms. Tt is not neces-
sary, norris it right, to compel them
to serve under him. The speech
Of the Senator from Ohio, might,
il unnoticed, induce those in au-
thority to continue him in the field.

Our Legislature has passed over
the Governors veto bill to trans
fer $15O,OO0 from certain other
funds to the General Fund, 10 de-
fray the expenses of the General
Assembly. The following is the
Governors veto: ....'ns
81. The money which is by this act
proposed to be transferred, was collect
ed by special tax on real and personal
property, for the purpose of meeting
the annual interest on, and iqUidating
800, 900 of the Indebtedness, evidenced
by certain bonds issued to provide
means to rebuild the levees of the State.
The act imposing this tax is in the ma
tpre of contract between the State
and the purchasers of the bonds, which
should not be impaired by diverting the
funds collected for paying the interest
and principal as stipulated in the act.
80. The act would only give tempo
rary relief to the treasury, and would
be preiudicial to a future negotiation of
leEee bonds or loans to meet the current
expenses of the State. #f@E t..Jt"

Our recently elected District
Judge, Hon. James M. Porter, re-
Gently sent word here that he would
hold our August term of Court
next Monday, but as he was there
upon notified that no jury has been
drawn for that term, we presume
the regular term will fail It is
hoped, however, that Judge Porter
will favor us with a special term
sometime in September. AS our
regular terms are limited to two
weeks it is necessary, in order to
clear the docket, shat we should
have one session of Court before
the next regular term IN April
1869.

that Pennsylvania petroleum in

REPUBLICAN, STATE TICKET.
GRANT, o0LFAx AND vIoroRY,

Never since the Republican party
was organized has the response Of the
country to Presidential ticket been SO
cheeringeso enthusiastic, SO unanimous
as that which greets the nominations
and the platform Of the Chicago Con
ventiou. Never has the Republican
press Nbeensso deeply gratifed, or so
thoroughlyin earnest. From all shades
of opinion the action Of the Conven-
ton has been hailed with absolute de-
light. Nov, then, let us have our, or
ganifsion perfected and put in thor
ough working order before our oppon-
ents shall have got out of their muddle
and selected their candidates. Let the
young men, take hold now, and organ
ize GRANT and CoLFAx clubs in every
township before the fourth of July.
We have only to beat this reacttonary,
repudiating, rebel-sympathizipg party
once more, to beat the life out of.it.
