The selection BIZ the Indiana legislature
of Honorable Daniel d. Pratt is unexpect.
ed, but not wholly unsatisfactory. Mr..
Pratt is republican, but we believe he
has never been identified with the fanatical
extremists of his own party. Hitherto,
he has not been prominently identified
with politics, although, we believe, he was
once before candidate for congressional
honors, but was defeated. He is lawyer,
a gentleman who has fair record as a
man and citizen, and is one who enjoys
the respect Of his opponents. lie was
secretary of the convention which nomi-
mated Mr.. Lincoln the first time, which is
the only prominent position in which he
has appeared before the public. His
selection as the senator from Indiana is
probably as acceptable one to the demo
cratic party as could have been made
outside its own ranks.
TIE defeat of the notorious Cumback,
and the ignoring of his substitute Veatch,
must be as humiliating to that trickster as
it is gratifying to honest men Of both par
ties. In his defeat is rebuke to his
shameless traAicking in public place, that,
it is to be hoped, will not be without due
cHect.-CHfcdyO Times.

NALL pox.-Tbe NoRrn Iowa TINES

SMALL Pox.-The NoRrn Iowa TINES
never said small pox was in McGregor,
excep. when it was here, years ago. A
few weeks since, we advised the City
Council to employ physicians to innoculate
that portion of our people who are likely
to be inattentive to their own interests,
and the interests of the city and commun-
ity. We urged this matter as a public
duty. This most loathsome disease should
be barred out by every precaution possi-
ble. Its progress or prevalence is report
ed in many western towns, and we thought
our advice proper. We think SO yet. We
telegraphed to Medary Of the Lansing
Mi,vor-the only reporter of it we have
seen-to contradict it at once. lie replied
that the Chronicle would do so. It did do
it. We are obliged. We saw nothing in
the DEBORAH Democrat. Didn't read it
closely, perhaps, though We generally
scan its columns with interest. The Mir
,or of last week disclaims any intention to
injure the business Of McGregor. We are
again obliged. If the Decerah Democrat
said, as quoted, "The McGregor TINES
says small pox is raging in that vicinity"
from the advice we gave as to the proprie-
ty Of innoculation, the editor of that
paper has done us gross injustice. The
quotation of the Mirror from the Demo
crat leaves the onus on the latter.
The talk of the Ners relative to this
matter, is 80 much in consonance with its
usual course toward us and toward all
others who estimate its conductors as
nom occupants Of the channels of social
respectability that we care nothing for its
mis- statements.
We are very much obliged to Metla,y, of
the Mirror, for referring to our city and
the TINES in the handsome manner follow
ing: No person ever charged our paper
with mis- statement, unless that person
was a man uanting in veracity. Our
living is not made by fawning, begging
maligning or classifying; it never ras
made in that way. Newspaper cotempo-
raries of a vulgar character, often force
from US remarks wanting the polish of
Chesterfield, bat when such cases occur,
we are Us much ashamed Of descending to
notice them, as our readers are Of our
impulsive haste.
Here is Medary:
ssNow be it known, that we did not
publish the small pox item for the purpose
of injuring McGregor-thet never came
into our thoughts. We supposed that as
the zymcs had made the statement that
the small pox was Sin that vicinity it
Mnst be so, for that sheet is generally
considered to be an exponent of the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth.'"

In a late number of the Cleveland Ohio,
Herald may be found the following notice
of ride through Iowa:
I'VE might dismiss the ride across Iowa
by saying that from the Missouri to the
Mississippi the country presented not a
foot of Land incapable Of the highest cul>
tivation, and that Nature has made the
entire State, on the route Travelled by the

after making slow progress over the hills
that make the prairie rolling one, we
came in view Of the Boyer Valley and
seeing the beauty of that landscape, all
felt to exclaim,
"'Twas lovely sight to see
What Heaven had done for this goodly land.'
Save that there was no body of water
in view-a very essential requisite to per-
lection of landscape-the ere cannot rest
upon richer, more lovely valley than the
Boyer Valley of Western Iowa. Miles upon
miles; without house or fence, the land
as it came from the land OF its maker, the
view WAS over landscape as refined, as il
science and labor and money had been ex-
Haasted in perfecting the scene, and one
could imagine the coach passing the well
keptueseryes of o landed nobility, rather
than through valley that is yet in it,
