LECTURES &c.
GuTCAco Oof Dict 1890


LECTURES &c.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21st 1869.
DEAR COURIER:
City politics in this quiet
virtuous city are in such perfect
middle that it must be difficult for
tho politicians themselves to tell how
matters stand, and how they have
come to their present interesting d.
lemma. The Republican (D Journ
ais that support the so-called Citi-
zens ticket declare that outsiders
know nothing about Chicago matters
and must keep mum; that every one
outside of Chicago who expresses
an opinion is beneath contempt.-
This is putting ON city airs with a
vengeance. Surely to unsophistica-
ted eyes it does look little funny to
see the Times, Tribune and the Jour-
ndllying down in one bed together.
There is a large gathering here
this week, TO continue for several
days, of the graduates of tho Con.
gregational Theological Seminary in
this city; men who received their
training here and como back from
their fields in Illinois, Indiana, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Iowa, &c. The
meeting is very largely attended and
the exercises have been very attract
i've. While upon this topic of Rcli.
gious matters, | may say that in
Chicago this season there are large
number OF very fine churches in
building. Among the largest and
best, arc the First Congregational
and Union Park Congregational,
both on the West side, both imposing
stone structures that will seat 1000
or $500 people. Tho city shows
growth and Improvement in every
direction.
As Ottunwa people arc interested
IN gossip about lectures and lecturers,
l may say that | met II. L.
Collier at bis home and he will prob
ably be in Ottumwa about Thanks
giving time. He has a long list OF
for this year, most of
them in the east. He has spent the
summer in Europe, and gathered
material for his lecture on
Goldsmith, which he is to repeat be-
fore great many audiences in New
England.
But with the remembrance of his
>attlc here with "gentlo Annie" it is
generally supposed that the lecture
going public viii be most interested
in his lecture, "rhc Woman of the
Period" which is anti Anna Dickin.

THE TEST OF THEIR SIN
CERTIFY.
The LEGISLATURE Refuses to On.
dOfse the Administration of
President Grant,
n Rpudiates the Republican Victories
in tie North,

The boasted Ropublicanism oftho
majority in the Senate and House of
Delegates was put to the test this
morning, and Il could not pass the
ordeal. The mask was torn from
their faces and exposed the venomous
Copperhead in all its viperous malig-
nifty. Mr.. Haskell, Republican; intro
duoed a resolution in the Senate,
which will be found reported in the
proceedings, and Mr.. White introdu-
ced similar one in the House, con-
graduating the Republican party of
the country and the President, upon
the splendid victories Just achieved in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, and heartily
endorsing the administration of Gen
eral Grant. 1t felllike bomshell in
the camp Of the so-called true Repub-
licans. They squirmed and writhed
like copperheads on hot gridiron.
But the issue had to be met. The
pill must either be swallowed or re.
jected. So Mr.. Snowden, Conserva-
tive, and so-called Republican, Of AL.
exandria, moved to lay it on the ia.
ble,-and his motion was carried by
o close party vote. We publish the
yeas and nays, whereby it will be
seen that only two of the so-calIed
Republicans, Messrs. French and
Norman Smith, voted against tabling
and they, our reporter subsequently,
learned, did SO through mistake. In
the House it was cut off by motion
to adjourn. Nothing more we hope
will be wanting to prove to Congress,
and the Northern Republicans thu
insincerity of these men. 1t was no
needed to enlighten our own people
for we all know the hollowness o
their pretentions and iully understand
the game ofdoception and faisehoo,
they have practisod to mislead GU
party friends in the North. The,

We ran down to Fairfield ycstcr-

As usual, We found Junkin and

They are the Nimrods of tho Iowa

The prospect which has been held
out to the Fairfielders of securing

They are all on the anxious seat
about the location of that road, but
as to what has been done, or is to DO
done in that direction, they are the

of Legget.

dead headed us on our annual pass

to say that in respect to the charac
