Judge Toman, Of the North Io,can,
seems to have taken our references to
his hostility TO Mr.. Allison and to the
" locality hnmbug, seriously to heart.
He forgets his usual urbanity and
courtesy in insinuatipg that We are
governed by mercenary motives in
our favorable mention Of Mr.. Allison.
Either unable or unwilling to combat
our logic on the locality humbug,
he plainly accuses us Of having been
purchased in the interest Of Mr.. ALI
son. We would inform the Judge
that Northern Insane Asylum has
been located at Independence and
the present prospect j. that the press
Of Mitchell County will be ably repre-
scented therein. You know us too
well. Judge, to believe what yon in
timate IN such an ungentlemanly
manner. The simple .act is, that We
have had no communication, either
directly or indirectly, with Mr.. ALI
con or any person authorized to speak
for him, relative to his re-nomin alton.
When the question Of the candidacy
began to be agitated, we stated that
it might be found that the district
could not well afford to dispense with
the services Of Mr. Allison at present.
Maturer rejection has confirmed us
in this view, and We have so express
ed ourselves. Our views differ from
those of Judge Toman and he accuses
rs Of mercensry motives. Il it posi-
BILE that that is the rule by which We
are to guage the press Of Mitchell
Co.: The Judge says, 1--WE are viii
ing to concede all that can be said in
favor OF Mr.. Alison" While in anoth-
er place he intimates that Mr.. A. il
"the agent Of corrspt whisky-gam-
bliDg,of6ce bartering ring in the city"
What, Judge! praise . man whom
You believe to be the agent Of . "cor-
rupt whisky-gambiing and sfice bar
tering ring?" This whisky cry was
Latched up and used against Mr.. Ali
son before his last somination. and
We regret TO say that we we're some
what taken in by that cry and felt
decidedly luke~arm toward Mr.. A.
on account Of il; but ; subsequent
thorough personal investigation Of
the matter convinced Us that these
reports were false in every particular,
that they we're conceived for the
sole purpose vf injuring Mr. Allison's
chances for = denomination. To
revive and renew such charges Just
At this particular juncture. indicator
willingness to resort to any desper.
ate course for the purpose Of injarine
Mr.. Allison's reputation.
The simple fact u, in our opinion
the people Of this county are veil sat
isfed with Mr.. Allison and woult
favor his denomination in the presen
sxigency Of national affairs, unles
thoroughly convinced Of ths super
Tor 6taes and ability Of somo oppos

The Fayette Observer some time
since contained an article in which,
by implication at least, some Of the
Iowa representatives in Congress
were accused Of intemperance. We
united with the Nashua Post in re-
questing an explanation, bat - vet
have failed 10 see it. and conclude
there is none to be given. and on the
confession of the 6serrsr itself, its
charge vas gratuitous. The Observer
however, attempts kind of reply in
lite last issue, which, besides being
wide Of the point It issue. is in strange
conflict 10 sentiment with is original
article. At first the Observer said: :
"We have it from good authority
also, that If the truth were known,
apprehensions might be felt by the
people Of Iowa, in regard to the hab-
its Of some of our representatives ia
Congress. Is King Alcohol going to
engulf the nation Cannot the peo-
pie find man in their midst who is
not got, and Who can represent them
in the halls Of Congress
1t now says:
"we hardly think the psople of this
country choose to go back to the old
en- days Of Puritanism or blue laws,
and place upon themselves the same
civil and religious restrictions which
our forefathers endeavcred to avoid
in their fight from monarchial gov
eminent. Every man proposes, in
his private life, to sit down under his
own vine and fig tree and enjoy the
fruits Of his own labors and in still
more practical way, We presume our
Congressmcn propose TO use their
own Judgments as to the demands
Of an over-taxed system, and their
methods OF recuperatioa. Etkey say
wine, that Is their business, and If We
state that wine il used as o stimulant
among Congressman, is it libel?"
If that isn't an exhibition Of good
lord, good devil, We have never seen
it Il its 6rst utteraace the Observer
spoke for the temperance sentiment
ofthe community; in it, last, It is .
mouthpiece of the advocates of free
whisky. "Good Lord, good devil"
What does it mean? We design NO
controversy with the Observer and
shall have none. Only cant it be
consistent and fair?

\ KING " ANTE q.

During the war il was ettcn assert
ed that large majority OF the aristoc-
racy Of the South really preferred q
monarchial to republican form of
government. This idea was secuted
by the coppcrhead press then, but
the wheels Of Time bring to light
many of those secrets which s,rve to
stamp with inlany Tho sla. cholder's
rebellion. The Richmond Enquirer
gives us in the following article a
frank expression Of vic~s upon this
kingly subject, and reveals state Of
opinion which is not confined to the
EnY,Hrer, but is wide spread among
the former shareholders Of the South
1t is obvious that henceforth the
government Of the United States is to
be infinitely less propitious than
hereditary monarchy, with dynasty
selected from some thoroughbred
royal stock.
For the South, i; would be Hcav-
ems mercy ifthe United States had
already king, or the breed Of kings,
in preference to the present sbcmina-
ton.
Suppose We had for King such a
man as the Mcxicans massacred be.
cause he was too good for them, instead
of such astonishing contrasts As Ste
Scns and Butler Macmillan show
ed himself every inch = true prince.
The reign Of such prince in the
United States would be to the South
the dawn ola millenium, compared
to the tyranny which now at once
disguise and destroys us.
Ii the revolution may tread back
wards-and we admit that it is a rare
thing for revolutions to retrograde.
then let it speed onward 70 its only
alternative goal. Bring on the king"
