Generalship, worthy need Of valor.
Some say Gen. Belknap is not q "distin-
ruished man." True, he has not played
the ferret in hunting for gain, bat he is
every way qualified for the position to
which he iscallea, and this is better than to
have been political barnacle. Some Of
the leading Radical papers Of Iowa object

eodorse it,
TIM Hon. William b. Allison pledged
himsslf to withhold his name from the
state legislature as candidate in the
coming contest for the United States Sem
atorship, unless his congressional district
should unite upon him for the position.
The State election is ever, and the result
shows badly for our congressman and, OF
course, il he meant what he said, which
we ought to have right to believe be did,
he will then not be known as contestant
for tho place recently made vacant by the
resignation of Senator Grimes, as we'll as
Cor the new term to be provided for at the
same time. The only candidate before
the people at the late general election, for
tho Office Of representative to the state
legislature, within Mr. Allison's district,
who was instructed in convention to sup.
port that dignitary for Senatorial honors,
il elected, was defeated at the polls on the
18th inst.
Mitchell and Howard counties form the
sfty. sixth district, and are entitled to one
representative in the state Legislature. In
the republican convention which met in
that district, to put in nomination candi-
date for that Office, Mr.. Thos. NJ. Atherton,
of the Mitchell County Press, was chosen
and the delegations from Mitchell voted to
instruct the candidate to cast his vote in
the legislature, if elected, for Mr.. Allison,
which caused the Howard delegations to
withdraw from the convention, leaving the
nominee only just half instructed. MIR.
Atherton's defeat leaves Mr.. Allison not
only without his half a representative,
but without single supporter among all
the recently elected members, unless there
may be those who deceived their constit-
uents by withholding their opinions upon
the Allison question, until they bad
secured the votes which elected them.

One Of tho proprietors Of the Sta
Press at DEBORAH, Iowa, by the name
Frank Rowland, in yalcdictory to h
readers, says:
'sAs. we have at least few warm frien
who msy be curious to know our wher
abouts. we will say that on and after n
yember we will be found filing tho sc
ond editorial chair on the Chicago Eve
ing Journal"
From what we learn, we think there
more probability of his being tonn'
about November LIST, in some good conn
iail than in this Office. We never heard
Frank Rowland, and certainly not in col
pection with any position on the JoH,a<
