GRANT in.his Tong speech accepting the
nomination says the people mustbe guided
by his "past record for his conduct in the
future" His past is a silent uninfuential
political democrat. He also says, in sub.
stance, that he will use the same energy
he has exhibited heretofore. This energy
consisted in sitting down before Vicksburg
till Sherman locked the rebels up by cut
ting off supplies, by doing the same thing
at Richmond till Sherman cut Lee off from
support, and then he received the surren-
der. True, his fool hardness sent Han
cock into the Wilderness, Forty Thousand
slaughter for nothing, exceptto exhibit the
activity Of the "Army of the Potomac"
His "energy'' like his record, is all smoke !
Mr.. Colfax made a very pretty speech in
his acceptance, and we'll bet twenty-five
cents that Schuyler knew all the ropes be-
fore the convention assembled at "Crosby's
Gift Enterprise at Chicago. Colfax, in
his speech, congratulated the country on
''the suspicious opening of the canvass
&c. Twas rather an egotistic remark,

suspicious selection, yours was suspicious.
er, in the estimation of your countrymen.
Was it not as much as to say, "you have
a glorious ticket in the field now do your
duty, and it may be elected. Grant and
Colfax are a host - Wasn't this about the
meaning of the pretty little speech with
which he had been pregnant since
the wires from Crosby's Gift Hall told him
that he wal ahead of "sturdy old Ben"
We guess Ben thinks the canvass opens

FoRTY-Tn1RD.--O On Monday and Tues
day, the directors of the 43d met at Nc
Gregor, and fled an unconditional accept
ance of the Land Grant. They claim that
the McGregor & Sioux City Co., clog their
acceptance, with conditions and that,
hence, it is void. We requested one
of the directors to write us the points
for publication, but he hadn't time.
We prefer that parties to stock con-
tracts, and to the enhancement of the val
ue of Iowa village lots, should do their
own work.
McClintock of West Union, Case and
Greeley of Nashua, and J. X. Graves
of Dubuque are here, and called to see us.
We do not know if all are candidates for
Congress, blu t GRAVES says he is, and that
he will beat Allison in Dubuque county.
Hearing that Drummond has secured
Clayton county, and was about to remove
to Dubuque, he jocularly remarked that
it might become necessary for him &C., to
remove to McGregor!

LIcurNlNG.-The storm of Sunday night
of which notice is taken in another place,
resulted in the death by lightning, Of
Bridget, eldest daughter of John and
Katharine Kelly, residing near Bunker
Hill Zion P. o. about seven miles from
McGregor. W. have talked with her faith
er and his friends, and learn that about
2 o'clock in the morning of Monday, a
terrific clap Of thunder shook the house,
and father and mother were senseless for a
moment both recovering soon, Mr.. Kelly
sought the bed room of his children.
Bridget was with two younger ones, the
baby wa with its parents. On entering
the room, the father saw the bed and
hanging clothes about it IN fire. He put
the fire out, took the younger children to
his room, and returned for Bridget, but
alas |! she was dead her breast wal a little
SCARED, but no other break of the flesh
wal found. The father was struck by the
fluid under the left eye ard the abrasion
or break, followed his left side to the ANGLE.
The appearance is what might be produced
by a rough application of sand-paper. One
Of the posts of the bed-stead on which he
slept was twisted out Of all shape. The
windows were all shut down /; the glass,
putty and sash on one side were shattered
to fragments inwardly, on the other side
out,cardly. The house was in the valley,
and not in an exposed place as we gener-
ally construe locations liable tt electric
attack. The body of the girl givento the
grave to-day, followed by a large process
ion.
Reader, think of the situation of tn,
parents on that dreadful night. A favor
lite daughter dead, the whole family shock
ed by lightning, the father bruised from
head to foot, the flashes of lightning, the
roar of thunder, the voice Of the rain and
tempest, the hours of suspense till
day light, and her thank Goo that lie
has spared you terrors which might well
appal the stoughtest heart. Our warmest
pity is with the aggrieved parents.

The storm.
We thought to give a detail of the storm
of Monday night, but it is not a describabl i
affair. No such lightning, no such
thunder, no such rain ever visited Nc
Gregor before. "The Prince of the pow.
er of the air. was out for keeps.
From 10 to 8 it did nothing but rain. Gel.
lars were filed, gardens overdowed, side
walks turned up and floated of, wagons,
buggies and lumber sent to the big river,
houses removed from their foundations,
families alarmed, carpets covered with
mud and the devil to pay all round. A
bad sight next morning, but repairs com.
menced Immediately and we are now near.
lyO. K. IT'S not best to bras of our
misfortunes, and we bar particulars. The
w. r. r. lost a few bridg es all is now in
running order. McGregor is a good town
for rain.

The DEBORAH RAcEs.-Jennie Day,
Hammers mare beat Belle White now the
property of De Shon Of, on the first
race, and captured the $500 stakes. Belle
beat Jennie last winter on the ice, but she
found a different job on the turf. A purse
of 500 was made up for the two, Jennie
to a l4Olbs. wagon lin this race Belle was
successful. There were several other trials
of speed, but the result is not reported to
US. We thank Anscl Bailey, Esq, for
early dispatch informing us of Jennie's
success. Our boys in town knew it before
the DEBORAH sports had got through with
the inevitable "what'll you have p in hon.
or of the accession. This ~telegraphing is
pretty quick. Talk about Mercury of old

Just as We 90 to press We have a report
of q horrible murder committed at Glen
Haven, Wis, on monday last. Our in
formant, Mr.. John Cathern, lost the
names of the parties, but relates the cir.
cumstances as he heard them. II
seems that a young man living near that
point, had for ONE time tried to gain the
affections of a young lady of the village
which he failed to do, and stung with de.
feat, sold his farm preparatory to leaving
the country. After repeated solicitations
the young lady consented to a drive with
him for the last time, he saying he wished
to make her a present before leaving a
country which he never expected to see
again. The proper time having passed
for the return of the parties the friends Of
the young lady became alarmed for her
salty and on search found her body in the
woods with her throat cut from ear to ear.
The track of the wagon was followed to
the house where the young man had been
living, where he had, after washing the
blood from the carriage and throwing dirt
on it, probably to blind, put n horse in
the stable and fled with the other. 1t is
believed he had about 4 hours start of his
pursuers. We hear no further particulars.

The JAPANEsE.-On Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings of this week, the Japs.
will exhibit at Cambrian Hall. Since all
recollection Of ours, the celestials, in
Guiding the Chinese and the Japanese,
have been regarded the most expert Jug
glers on the earth. Even the Magi OF
Egypt were their interiors, and Moses and
Aaron themselves, though represented to
have had Almighty aid, did nothing more
astonishing than the feats now exhibited
by this travelling troupe. At Pra. du
Chen, two weeks since, We saw these
human specimens in charge of Mr.. Wilkie,
interpreter, and MIR. Wilder, their business
manager. The sight of them is a show in
itself. Their oddity of shape, of dress, of
behavior, their size inferior by their i'm
p~ulsive movements made a study to us
about the probabilities of their having
been created by some Yam Fusi God Of
their own, and not by the Eternal One to
whom we pay alteration. Newspaper
notices of them are profusely compliment
tary to their extraordinary talent in their
line of exhibition. A gentleman near US
while we write, says their performances
are too wonderful to relate without sub
jecting ones self to the charge Of misrep-
r~esenting. Let us 20 and sec so cents
worth of a people whose home is directly
on the other side of the globe from Nc
Grcgor. 1t will pay you better than read
ing books about them.

DoGs.-Tim Hopkins, Marshal, announ-
ces the probable death of dogs after June
3Oth, unless the CANNES are properly
muzzled this means a wi,e muzzle, not a
mere leather strap buckled round the jaws,
giving the dog mouth room to swallow five
pounds of beef at a single gulp. The
mouth of a dog, nose included, should be
secured by a substantial wire muzzle
anything short of this is o nuisance, and
q violation of law. We know Hopkins
will kill every dog not thusly rugged.
TN il no respector Of persons. People
who can afford to keep the useless, flea
carrying, NANCY, barking, biting, sinking
sneaking brutcs, can afford to dress them
as the law directs. We hope p half, at
least, in this town will neglect to wear
proper muzzles. Our columns are open to
record the death Of the incest mans dog
that ever barked.

NEW ORLEANS MISsrRELs.-This su peri
or troupe, played at the Cambrian, on
Friday and Saturday evenings to delighted
audiences. They missed the first boat
and the second brought them too late to
form personal acquaintance the audience
was not large but appreciative. No one
left the hall till the close. Every one pre-
sent advertised the merits Of the company
ahead of anything of the kind ever wit
messed, and this brought the very
best families of this city. If we have
among US those who are called elite they
were there. The beau visitors of the first
night brought their sweethearts on the
second the elders of the first audience
brought their wives and children to the
second. Their style, fashion, plan o,
what not, of playing, is now. When PEG
pie talk of q "nigger show'' they NEAR
banjo music, plantation songs, dancing
and the eternal, old, worn out conum'
drums of Julius and "Clem;' but thi.
