Judge williams Letter.

Hon. Elias H. Williams, late
Judge of this District, has written
a letter in supporter Mr.. Allison,
and in vain attempt to rcfute the
charges made against Mr.. A., by
Gen. Vandever, and other promi.
nent republicans.
The question naturally arises
why did not this letter appear
| sooner Z? If it's statements are true
why did the Judge wait till just on
the eve of an election before giving
them to the public 2 The reason
is patent he did not desire that
his letter should be refuted by q
reply prior to the election. That il
is not true in fact no man knows
better than Judge Williams.
The truth is Judge Williams and
Platt Smith, co-defenders Of Mr..
Allison are with him, accessories in
the crime, if it be a crime, of di.
vcrting the extension of the Sioux
City Branch Of the Pacific road from
the direction intended by the gov
eminent.
The real truth is Judge William!

sides present Of $50, from
John I. Blair, the principal CAPT
talist and stock-jobber in that infa'
my.
BY joint resolution Of our Iowa
legislature approved March 2,
1864, and to be found on page Isl
of the laws of 1864, it will be seer
that the grant Of land and othc,
subsidy was asked for branch te
run wEsrwARDLY from Sioux City,
instead Of eastwardly al the present
branch does. And the law of Con-
gress was only modified SO as to per-
NIT this direction to be taken and
not its entire diversion.
The Judge contradicts both the
law and himself. He says
"By the act of '64 the branches
we're allowed to fix the junction to
suit themselves, but they cannot
draw subsidy or land for any road
west of the Tooth meridian.
Again he says
':The act of '64 permitted no
diversion that was denied by the act
Of '62, and neither act contemp-
lated the Niobrara route /; for a
junction Of the Niobrara route with
the main line cannot be made east
of the Tooth meridian"
The first Of these extracts from
the Judges letter is true in part,
but he should have added the other
important fact in the matter that
while '.the branches were allowed
to fix the junction to suit them
selves" that they were to connect
with the Union Pacific at ANY POINT
wEsrwARDLY.
He is equally 1T fault in stating
that no grant or subsidy could be
drawn for any road west of the
Tooth meridian. for the 18th Sec.,
Of the law Of Congress Of "a pro-
vides that,
"Said company shall be entitled
to receive alternate sections Of land
for ten miles in width on each side
Of the same along the whole length
of said branch.
We would be glad to extend the
mantle Of charity over the Judges
apology for Allison's trcachery to
this portion Of his district, did We
not believe that he know that he
was classifying the law and the facts
in this matter, simply to subserve
his own purposes and those of his
friend Allison in this bad trausac-
ton to northern Iowa interests.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

We referred in our last 10 the "eoraer" IN the
corn market in Chicago On the last OF Sept stat
ing that the holders Of the corn were mostly 'As
dealers along the canal, who were the parties
that run the price of corn Up nom VI cents on
The 26th of Sept. to $l.1c@l.i5 on the last day,
whereby thew should hsve made really the diff
ference between the price Of corn on the 26th
and the price on the 3lst, and realized the diff
ference between the cost of their corn, SAY $l0l
and the price ON the 3lst, tsay $l.12). This is
true, excepting that in order to raise the price
Of corn from Ole. to $1.l2a1.15, they were foro'
ed to go on the market and buy corn offered At
the price they wished to establish. The conse-
qlence was that they were forced to buy large
amount of corn at SLIP, and hold it until the
s4coruer" was over, and them sell at reduced
price, losing, of course, largely on oil OF these
purchases The corner party took this matter
into consideration of course, before entering up
on the undertaking, and supposed they knew
about how mach corn there was in store in Chi
cago and how much they would be forced to buy.
and how the Average would be after taking all OF
this cash corn. But it seems they were mistak-
en- in their calculations of the amount of corn
they would be forced to buy. In fact, they were
forced to buy a very large amcunt-mcrs than
there showed to be on store in Chicago, and false
receipts, it is intimated we're out that they were
forced to take, all of which considerably reduced
their acreage Another cause of loss to them
was the failure of q number of the parties in
Chicago, who were the losers on the eorn-in
no 10 IN
pudiate and the exception to pay and, as con-
sequence of this unexpected turn in the matter,
the 'corner" party were forced to lose largely,
which again reduced their acreage. So that the
net averagel of the corner" party was consider
ably below what they expected, and this arose
from the above unexpected cause, which We shall
refer to again in our next.
