10 these three medicines DR.. II. III. Schenck OF

FAREWELL TO HICHBoRN-TheR Riverside
Echo under its new management is decidedly
at variance with the Rev. J E. c. Sawyer wins
of the temperance party, as will be seen by
the following extract:
1t is of course taken for granted that the
great mass of the Temperance men of this
State are in political sympathy with the pres.
ent dominant party; and it is equally clear
that they form a very important constituent
element OF that party. 1t seems moreover
that the Temperance voters have indicated
their preference to work through an existing
party rather than form an Independent polit-
ical organization. Their preference. we saw,
for Of course any large BODY of voters, if com
PEELED in self.defence, would not hesitate to
make their power known by necessary poIiti-
cal action. But it is better, If possible, to Sc
cure appropriate and just Temperance legisla-
ton through one of the existing parties; and
we are glad TO see that disposition is mani
tested by representative party journals to meet
the just claims OF the friends of Temperance
in spirit OF candor and fairness that promis-
es the best results.

Those who regard Gen. Butler as model
dence much shaken by his reply to Horace
Greeley, synopsis of which we published
Frila If his record had been as good imam
ciaIly as it has been on other weighty matters
of the law,-impartial suffrage, civil rights,
the education and protection of the freed
men-we might all be like the people of the
Essex district, and go into ecstacies of enthu-
siasm whenever his name is mentioned. As
1t is, most persons who are outside the sphere
of bis personal influence qualify their approy-
al of the bette noir of Democracy, and applaud
him only when he makes happy hit in the
general skirmish he keeps up in all parts Of
the moral and polite al universe.
What he has to say in reply to Mr.. Greeley
seems to merit special attention as expressing
aproper dissent from the too great tendency to
reaction from the former severe repressive and
disciplinary treatment of the South which
has lately begun to disclose ITSELF This ten
'dency comes naturally enough as the recon.
structlon era draws toward a close, and un-
doubleday the great breach between North
and South will never be fully healed till all
personal disabilities that exist in consequence
OF it are removed. The only danger is that
by too great haste getting out thi: sick man
OF the South, he may suffer dangerous re-
lapse Gen. Butler expresses the prevailing
sentiment of New England when he emphat-
fcally disclaims any vindictiveness in advocat-
ing the retention of whatever remedial laws
are still necessary. As we have often explain
ed, these measures are now very few, the only
one of Importance being the disqualification
of leading "ex-rebels" to hold office concern
ing which Mr.. Greeley is so exceedingly
anxious. If the prescribed class had
not in Tennessee. Georgia and some 9TH
err States been guilty of such treachery and
violence as to excite grave doubts as to the
sincerity of their conversion to loyalty and as
to the safety of trusting them once more with
participation in the public affairs of the com
monwealth, we might be inclined to listen to
Greeley. But cases of individual hardship
are now amply provided against by the power
given to Congress, which it often exercises, OF
granting special instead of general amnesty,
and this, Professionally, ought to satisfy the
South
The Portland daily press., 1869-12-18

THE 4rgus is clearly in error when il SAYS
that the proposed fifteenth amendment to the
constitution is opposed by Democrats on the
ground that it takes the control of suffrage
from the States and vests it in Congress. On
the other hand 10 takes the. control of sui.
frage from both the States and Congress, Sc
curing as 1t does, impartial justice to all by
means OF an amendment to an organic law.
This action can only be reversed by the as
sent of three-fourths of the States, acting
through their Legislatures. Congress can no
more control suffrage under that amendment
than the "Khedive" of Egypt.

into the State. Since last wrote you there
has been several farms sold to Northern men

the division and subdivision of their large

SoNGs FOR THE SANCTUARY; or Hymns and
Tuns for Christian Worship. A. S. Baines
q Co., New York and Chicago. 1869.
This is the title of a new collection of Hymns
and Tunes for public and private Worship
The selection seems to have been made with
unusual care, embracing as it does all the best
illusions of the sacred poets, Watts, Doddridge,
Wesley, Cowper, Steele, H. X. White, Ray,
Palmer, Newton, Burbank, Montgomery and
many others. These is larger selection of the
beautiful songs of Montgomery in this volume
than in any other that has come under our
observation. The subjects of the hymns are
varied and are all divided and arranged. The
selections were made by pastor, and well and
faithfully has he performed his duty; and has
given to the public one Of the best hymn-books
extant. There are 1342 hymns in the collec-
ton, besides large number of psalms for
chanting.
The collection of tunes number about 800,
and great care has been exercised in adapting
the proper tune to the hymn that is to be sung
The range of tunes is so diversified, and the
selections are made from such eminent au-
thors, that it cannot fail to please the congre-
CATION that may adopt this book. The book
has been recently adopted by the State Street
Church in this city, and has met with great
favor in that congregation.
Messrs. Hoyt, Fogg & Breed, under the St.
Julian Hotel, are the agents for the sale of this
collection. At their establishment may be
found all the religious and secular works pub
lished, which are of any value or interest to

Central Railroad
OF IOWA.
Seven Per Cent. Gold
First NzortgageBOnds,
FREE OF GOVERNMENT TAX,
AT IS and Accrued Interest.

This road runs through the richest and most
thickly settled portion of this magnificent
State, and is the only link wanting to connect
st. Louis and St. Paul by direct line, lat
miles shorter than any other.
1t runs through the great coal fields of South
ern Iowa to the North where coal is indispen-
sable and must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through district of country which Is
destitute of this prime necessity.
IT DOES NOT RUN THROUGH A WILDERNESS
where it would wait for years for a population
to give it business, but through tier of coun-
ties which are now producing about twenty
million bushels of grain, most of which is freight
for railroads.
Forty-fiv miles are Just diminished, and the
Superintendent reports that on the portion
open TOR business the net earnings are more
than the interest liabilities.
Sixty miles more are graded, and a million
and half of dollars have already been expend
ed on the work.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., and bonds can be issued only
at the rate of SIG 900 per mile, or only half the
amount upon some other roads, Special seeu-
rity is provided for the principal and for the
payment of interest.
First mortgages upon most railroads are the
very safest investments, and so far we cah
learn, there is not a single completed line in
the Northwest which is not only paying its in
terest, but good dividend upon its stock
The immense grain and other freights to be
carried away, and the domestic supplies TO be
brought in, ensure profitable business.
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
upon a road running through such rich and

recommended as a perfectly safe as we'll as yery
