Texans now in this city, repre-

recognition by the leading radicals.
Thus far they have received the in

case Of the election of A. J. Ham

It is not improbable that they
did receive the Endorsement Of the

indorsing business. He Endorsed
Wells, in Virginia, but Walker was
elected. Tie has Endorsed Stokes,
in Tennessee, but Sentcr will be
elected. He. probably. has indors.

will be elected. Whether he in

indorse both Stokes and Senter in

How It IL Done.

Tho reduction Of the public debt
as claimed by Mr.. Boutwell, is thus
accounted for BY tho New York
Tribune !:
"Of course, We cannot expect to
keep up tkis ratio. as Mr. Bout
we'll reports that very largo por-
ton Of his recent receipts are from
miscellaneous sourccs--probably
sale Of vessels aud other discarded
engincry Of war; hut this is q most
gratifying exhibit. and justifics the
most hopeful anticipations."
: While everybody had been giving
MIR. Boutwell, credit for financial
skill, and for honesty in applying
the revenue Of the government to
thc'rcductioa Of the public debt, it
comes that this result is reached by
the "sale Of vessels Of war and
other discarded inginery Of war -
Thus II would seem that in order

Public Debt.

The public debt statement fol
June, issued by the Treasury,
Thursday, July l, shows that the
Treasury contains $37, 900, 900 OF
currency. This is some $4,000.
600 more than has been estimated,
and shows such contraction Of the
currency, by locking up gre enbacks
that the Secretary, after the state
ment was issued, that afternoon,
at once made an order, instructing
the Assistant Treasurer, at New
York, to buy not less than So,
100000 of government bonds on
next purchase day. This will place
between 50, 900, 900 and "a, OOO.-
900 of currency at once on the
street in New York, and relieve
somewhat the present stringcncy Of
the money market.
Although the public debt state
ment of the 1st inst, shows a re-
duction Of SIG, 100000 for June,
and $40, 900, 900 since March, the
real fact is. that, for the fiscal year
just ended, the debt has been do
creased, in II months, but &c.
1913, 900. That is exactly the de-
crease, comparing tho statement
made by Mr.. Boutwell,. on July /.
with that made by Nc CulIoch, one
year ago.

The Virginia Election.

1t is now certain that Walker is
elected Governor Of Virginia I; that
the constitution, without the dis

clauses. is adopted. and that the
wing of the Republican party which
could not swallow an the pills Of
Radicalism, has elected q majority
Of the members Of tho State Legis-
iature, and secured sundry repre-
sentatiyes in Congress. This must
not be looked upon as Democratic
victory. because it is nothing of tho
kind. It is merely the triumph Of
moderation over fanaticism. It
brings the State ba k into the I'm

Truth from a Radical

The Radical organs in Virginia
said before the election Of Tuesday
that all such men Of their party as
should let themselves be persuaded
to go for Walker as Governor
would become Democrats after. the
election. The organs said this as
warning, and it will turn out to
be strictly true. It's truth will soon
be visible throughout the Old Do
minion. All or at the very least
ninc.tenths of the Virginia voters
calling themselves Radicals or Re-
publicans, who voted for the Con-
scrvative ticket on Tuesday, will,
before another election, be among
the most thorough Democrats in the
State. 5tasss "a ssa ff@.ss2 &@

Andrew Johnson and the
Senate.

The Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
lican, enraged at Andrew Johnson's
late speech in Washington, says
that it will be = dismal day in
the Senate when johnson gets back
there" We heartily concur in
that remark. It will indeed be a
dismal day in the Senate, that is
for tho controlling portion Of it,
when johnson gets back there. -
Whilst he was President, Radical
Senators disgro ced their positions
by continually uttering against him
the most false, sc1rrillous, and
scandalous language, to which he
had not the privilege of replying,
but when he shall stand face to face
before them. with all the privileges
that they themselves possess, and
with courage that no mortal thing
can daunt, they will not find them
selves pt their ease. He has a long
and formidable account to settle
with them, and he is, politically, a
prompt and energetic man Of bust
ness, never letting important 40
counts 60 unsquared longer than
necessary. E.# z@&a#r& a""
We predict, that, whom Andrew
johnson shall be in the Senate, his
old denouncels in that body will
CAREFUL y avoid any abusive or dis
respectful allusion to his admins
tration. They will prefer discuss
ing almost any other subject under

A quarter of a century has passed
since the territory Of Iowa was re-.

.Twenty-6ye years, with the yary-.
ing changes in government, politics
and commerce, have left their
marks upon her. Have we gained
or LOST Have we fulfilled. the
promise Of our youth, and como to
mature years with oil the. vigor,
strength, and wealth that was pre-
dicted for us I? Let the Iowa Of to-
day, in her prosperity, answer! We
have grown rapidly, but none the
less strongly. The men Of the last
century, who arc passing away
ldaily from amongst us, full Of years
and honors, camo here in their
prime, and were fitting types of tho
pioneer. Strong nerycd, hardy, Of
great courage, and having a firm
faith in the distant future of their
adopted State, to them we owe the
spirit Of strong perseverance. and
indomitable energy that character
ICES us as q commonwealth. They
rest from their labors and their
works follows them. What they
did, and what they were, are alike
gathered into the storehouse of tho
great past, and form part of tho
inheritance of time. ~ 85'-*
From this heritage, then, We may
reap manifold blessings but, the
land is large. Here arc homes
scattered all over the broad acres,
inviting honest toll, and promising
rich rewards. Lot immigration

thousands yet Upon this hither
side Of the great river lies as fair .
land as the sunshine ever smiled
upon, and to the seeker of a free
air, deep soil, aud a good home, it
will captivatc his fancy at first

It is with just pride thas We speak
Of the Hawk-eye State, both in war
and peace. Ever true to her trust,
public and private, she has set an
example worthy of imitation by her
older sisters. No dark days have
undermined her credit, nor disasters
disheartencd her citizens. The
past, then, is, at least, sccure-to
the future Of her career let the wis

A wife Living with Two
Husbands. "%@
There is very remarkable case
of matrimonial felicity Cd in this
city. which is not generally known
to the public. In the. West Diyis-
ion lives o woman with two hus.
bands, to each Of whom she has
been married in legal form. At the
time the war broke out this woman
was living with her first husband,
by whom che had three children.
Soon after the breaking out Of the
rebellion her husband enlisted and
went of in the ROLE of q . brave
soldier boy" A year or two after
bis wife heard that he was killed in
battle. She heard nothing from him
personally, the war closed and he
failed to write or to report at his
former headquarters - in .Chica-
60. His wife now considered her
self a widow without all doubt, and
IN course of time she married again.
But few months ago, to her anna ze-
ment, husband No. 1, whom she
had mourned as dead, returned to
his long deserted domicile, but, like
Enoch Arden, only to End his wife
the spouse Of another man. But,
unlike Enoch Arden, he failed to
die of a broken heart. A council
of war was held by the three heads
of the family and the difficulty
amicably adjusted. What t Q
some men and women SINH larly sit
uated would have resulted in pistols,
blood and litigation, was settled
readily and satisfactorily by this
amicable trio. It was mutually
agreed that both husbands should
continue to be liege lords of
the woman, on equal terms. and she
should be the wife Of both husbands.
Soon after the husbands return
home, the wife presented to him and
to the world another child, the off,
spring Of husband No. 2. But this
circumstance did not seem to dis
turb the equilibrium of No. 1, nor
the peace Of the household. And
there dwells that" happy family"
-one wife, two husbands and four
children-in small cottage as quiz
city and content. to all appearances.
