STILL MARCHING ON.-The soul of
John Brown, having finished its march
In America, has crossed the ocean.
Americans in London are startled by
hearing the well known words sung ut
reform meetings, and chanted by bands
of working men in the streets. His
soul went marching on into st. James
Hall the other night, and rejoiced as it
saw liberty cap stuck upon a
Harper's Ferry pike. and planted on the
platform, from which the Tories fled in
dismay. "A writer says: "Englishmen
sing that John Browns soul is march
ing on in London: gondoliers MARBLE it
i'll the lagoons Of Venice, and sailors OF
all nations shout the grand chorus in
the waters of Calcutta"

GEN. DoDGE4FOR SECRETARY OF WAR.
The Denver NcWs COMES to US with
the announcement that ii learns from a
reliable source that on Gen. u. nj.
nodge's return from California, about
ten days ago, he was met by dispatch
from President Grant, saying that Gen.
Rawlins had resigned, and rendering
the place to him, {0vh. d., with two
weeks time in which to accept or de-
cline the appointment. Gen. Dodge
has gone East, to Boston ard Washing
ton, aud it will not be u matter of sur
prise to hear very soon of a change in
the head of the War Department
No confirmation Of this report has
been received here, but when we con-
slider Gen. Dodge's thorough qualitica-
tons for the office Of Minister of War,
together with Gen. Grants great admit
ration for, and confidence in the man, it
is not unlikely that the report will
prove true. 1t is well known that Gen.
Rawlins has wasted away in health till
former self, making it impossible for
him to much longer continue in his
present position. 10 succeed him the
nation offers no better man than Gen.
Granville NJ. Dodge, man whom Iowa
delights to honor, and who has, by a
brilliant record in the field and in Con-
gress, continually delighted to honor
his State. 1t is now no secret that he
would have entered the present Cabinet
as Secretary of War at its formation had
be complied with r. Grants request.
Should the report of the portfolio being
again rendered him prove to be correct,
it will be the earnest hope Of the people
Of Iowa that he will accept, knowing a.
Of his State and to the good of the Re-
public State Register, nth. ''..

The New President.


From the New York Times we gather the fol-
lowing facts respecting the personal history OF
one upon whom all eyes arc now conferred Pros-
dent Grant Is Just forty years Of age, having
been born on the 9th Of April 1872 His birth
place was Point Pleasant, Ohio, ON the Ohio
river, twenty-five miles above Cincinnati. lie
entered West Point July 1 1899, and graduated
ON the 3Oth Of June 1873 when he was in his
twenty-second year. lie served short time in
the regular army and then entered civil life. As
soon as the rebellion broke out, he offered his SER
vices to Governor (now Scnator) Yates of Hi
nois. where he then resided, and was appointed
Aid on the Governors staff with the position OF
Mastering Officer Of volunteers. lie soon de-
mandcd field service, and was appointed TO the
Colouolcy Of the Twenty first Regiment Of Illinois
Volunteers. Witbthat rcgimentho entered upon
duty in Missouri, quickly rose to the rank Of
Brigndier-Geneml. subsequently became Major
General aiterwarl Cby special act of Congress)

The New speaker.

James Gillespie Blaine who has just been
elected speaker of the forty-iirst Congress, was
born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, in
1880, and is, therefore but thiry-nine years Of
age. lie graduated at Washington college in
1917. For sometime after graduation he taught
school in Kentucky, but decided to devote himself
to the profession Of editor, and was for a time
employed on the press in Philadelphia Subse-
quently he removed to Maine, where he edited
the Keunebec journal, and afterNard was chief
editor of the Portland Advertiser for q year OF
two. lie served four years in the Maine Legisla-
ture as representative from Augusta, where he
still resides lie was twice elected Speaker. In
1862 Mr. Blaine was elected to Congress from the
Keuneboc district and has served successfully on
the committees on the post Office, on military al
fairs and on the death of President Lincoln, and
as chairman of that on the debts Of the loyal
States. For several years past Mr.. Blaine has
been chairman Of the republican State committee
of Maine, and in that capacity has organized the
local campaigns which have had such a salutary
influence upon the general republican cause

The vermont Mutual Fire lnmrnnce 60.

At the annual meeting OF this Company in
October last committee wls appointed 10 pro-
cure plans and take measures for the building Of
a new Office, for the better accommodation Of the
large and increasing business Of the Company,
and especially for the preservation and safety OF
its records and papers. At a full meeting of the
Board of Directors ON the Sd instant, excepting
three. viz Essex, Orleans and Bennington) the
committee made report. And after u full discus
sion and examination of the plans of Mr. Randall,
il was unanimously resolved to purchase addition
al land and erect new office, AT a cost not ex-
ceeiing one per cent. of the capital of the Com
pany and a committee was appointed to carry
into effect such resolution of the Directors
The resolution was more earnestly pressed by
some Directors in the more remote parts Of the
State, who are representative men Of the business
Of their respective Counties.
And il was the decided and unanimous convic-
ton Of the Directors that this Company, with q
capital Of three millions of dollars, aud with rec
ords and papers so invaluable to the great body
Of the people Of this State, should act at once
The matter Of oOnrmieace for the transaction OF
80 extensive business was pressing need, but
that could be postponed; but the matter Of sqfcJ
for the records and papers Of 50 great value and
Importance to the citizens Of tho State could not,
with wisdom or prudence. The Directors thought
common prudence demanded that $4,000 900 Of
capital, based risks TO the amount of S33 ,0Oo,-
900 and records and papers Of corresponding val
ne, should, at least, have such ordinary and com
m n protection as citizens, engaged in important
Business, resort to for the security and protection
Of valuable papers and property The new Office
is required to be made fire proef
The cost, compared with the business and cap
inl Of the Company, is triiing. The tax of a
person insured for one thousand dollars at tho
usual rates for farming property, would not ex-
coed, including the expense of site and building,
my oeRfs--and probably it would be less. And
unless we mistake the caution and business pru-
denee Of the citizens Of this State, every farmer.
mechanic and business man will heartily endorse
the action Of the Directors in regard to this whole
matter

The inaugural Address.

President Grants Inaugural, brief as it is, is
sufficiently long tn plainly indicate, in his simple,
straightforward style, the policy that will char
actcrise his administration. lie tells us that he
will have no policy to enforce against the will Of
people that he will execute all laws for securing
security OF person, property, and Of religious and
political opinion in every part Of the country
that the debt must be paid in gold that no re-
pudintor should be permitted in public office
that there should be faithful collection of revenue
and the greatest possible retreuchment, aud TINT
he will appoint to office only those who viii carry
out these principles lie is for impartial suffrage
and the Fifteenth Amendment for ultimate clti-
zenship of the Indian and for a fair ond firm for
eign policy and for protection to all citizens,
whether of native or foreign birth, at home or
abroad
An earnest and hearty cooperation of the peo-
pie with the new administration in carrying out
the principles thus briefly set nrth, will speedily
restore that measure Of harmony, peace and pros
perity for which we have 81 long waited and
prayed
