Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1869-02-11

The Hon. Arthur Boreman has been elect.
ed Z. 5. Senator, in place of Peter q. Vans
Winkle, whose term expires on the 4th of
March next. Mr.. Boreman was one Of the
few Virginians who did not believe that Sla-
very was so valuable an institution as the
American Union, and when the Rebellion
broke upon the country lie acted upon that
theory. He was prominent member of the
Methodist Church South, which, ~ q body,
sided with the Rebellion, and, thereupon, he
Immediately severed his connection with that
body, and joined the Northern Church. He
WAS hearty supporter Of the Government in
its conflict with armed rebellion, and in 1864
he WAS elected Governor OF West Virginia, to
which position he was reelected in 1866. His
administration was patriotic and acceptable
to the people Of the State. In his last mes>
sage, sent 10 the Legislature on the 10Th inst.
he says:
During the terrible struggle for nationality
and the principles underlying our free insti,
tutions, which was in progress when came
into ONCE, l Ut all times gave my cordial and
earnest support 10 the Government and con-
stituted authorities Of the United States, and
thenceforward have sustained Congress in
their efforts to restore the rebellious States to
their proper relations to the Union. And
now trust that the day is fast approaching
when, under the administration Of one who
led the Union hosts to victory, we may be 50
happy as to see these patriotic efforts, so long
thwarted, successful in the realization Of the
much to be desired unity, harmony, and pros
peri,y Of the country.-New York Tribune.

DocroRs OF misunderstanding
to tie Yas College Courans titty-two
colleges in the United States have this
year conferred the degree OF d. D.
upon ninety-six clergymen. Consid-
ering that there are about 5000 Con-
gregational clergymen, 1000 Presby-
terian ministers, $500 Northern Meth
odist travelling preachers, nearly as
many Baptist preachers, and over ?,
700 Episcopal clergy, besides other
smaller denominations, there is not
quite so much reason to fear that the
honorary title will become very cheap,
as some seem to suppose. Of the
thirty-eight Congregational clergymen
Of California, but two are Doctors OF
Divinity; not one among the thirty
three in Kansas; but one among the
one hundred and torty-four in Wis
consin; we believe but one among the
one hundred and seventy-two of Iowa.

after all. I'm not ashamed to confess
that the tears came into my eyes as I
said: Now, Eastman that was hill

about that little matter any more; it's
all right, and you've been a better felt
low than all along
'But he had taken it to heart. and
was too weak to throw it off. 1t was
so NEAR, he said, so unsoldier- like
and bearish;' and l was so good to
forgive it., he insisted.
Il stood by him while his leg was
amputated; and when, after a time, the
surgeon said even that couldn't save
him, that he was sinking. found that
the man was like brother to me. lie
took the hard news that he must die,
just as the war was almost ended, like
the brave fellow he was. He dictated
a letter to his sister, the only relative
he had; gave me some directions about
sending some keepsakes to her, and
then asked for the chaplain. This was
a good, sensible, elderly man, and he
talked IN about the right style, l think,
and made US all .cel quite comfortable
in the belief that In the Fathers house
there must be mansion tor the poor
soldier, who had SO often camped out
in snow and rain; and that for him who
had given his all tor his country, some
great good must be in store
AT last, the poor fellow said to the
chaplain: Isn't there something in the
Bible about giving cup Of cold
water? All. madam. l can't tell you
how that hurt me. % Eastman said
l, don't, don't. But he only smiled
as the chaplain repeated the verse.
Then he turned to me and said: You
didn't think what you were doing for
yourself when you gave me that glass
of ice-water the other day, did you
old fellow? Can pass for one OF the
little ones, though, with my eix-feet
two? Then he went on talking about
being little, and the kingdom of heav.
en-, till we almost feared his mind was
wandering; but perhaps it was only
finding its way home. i do fee

aRAD1cAL1sMr DOMINANT.

Inc senatorial mountainous nave ue-
velol Q one striking fact. Maine, In
diana, Missouri, Pennsylvania, New
York, Minnesota, Michigan, and Mas
sachusetts have spoken, and in enc h
case the Republicans have taken candi-
dates who represent the advanced.
Radical opinion of the country
Those who imagine that the election
Of Gen. Grant was merely an express
sion OF conservative confidence" in
the man, which would have been given
had he been the candidate Of either
party, will find no war; ant tor tins
opinion in these nominations. II Mr..
Fenton has any position in New y ork
politics, it is as An advanced Radical.
Gen. Schurz has given his whole life
to Radical ideas; Mr. Hamlin is a Rad
ical, OF the strictest sect; Charles Sum
ner's name is whole Gospel of Rad
realism; Matthew II. Carpenter adds
Western tervor to Massachusetts faith;
while Mr.. Chandler. Gov Ramsey
Gov Cumback and Mr. Scott belong
to the same school.
The gentlemen who sec in the elec
ton OF Gen. Grant a triumph OF the
sentiment which endeayored to para.
lyze the war, to elect Mcclellan in
1864, to prevent the emancipation OF
the slaves, to make new party out
of the Philadelphia Convention, to
break up the Republican organization,
are mistaken. The men who now seek
to make Gen. Grant the leader OF a
party composed Of Copperheads and
milk-and-water Republicans will find
In this expression OF public sentiment
that our Presidential triumph was
that OF the party of progress. Gen.
Grant is preeminently Republican
President, chosen by the Union Re-
publican party-by the party which in
1866 defeated President johnson and
his patronage, oven when he was aid
ed, especially in New Y ork, by these
same CONSERVATIVE politicians.
As Republican journal of a
mewhat::advanced school, we trust
that the names Radical" and "Con.
servative,' or any name, indeed, which
gives expression to differences in the
Republican party, will be forgotten.
We have no remembrance of the
griets and the mistakes, possibly the
sins, OF the past few years. We do
not desire Gen. Grant to be anything
but the President of the Country, and OF
the whole country. We are confident
that he will SO use his high office that
good men will conduct our affairs, that
economy will prevail in the Admins
tration, that justice will be kept pure,
that the rational flag will be protect
ed in foreign lands, and citizens of
this nation in every State OF our own.
This is the sentiment Of every Repub-
lican called Radical" and the men
who are sent to the Senate, as believ-
ers in Radical doctrines, are the
truest friends OF the Alministrati on.
Their truth and their wisdom will be
no less welcome because they represent
the will otthe Republican party and the
dominant sentiment OF the American
people.-N Y Tribune.

How to Avoid q Bad Husband.

The following rules will teach young
ladies how to avoid the catching OF
bad husband:
!. Never marry for wealth. A wo.
mans lite consistent not in those
things that she posscsse.h.
=. Never marry a top, nor ono who
struts about dandy-like, i'll kid gloves,
cane and rings on his fingers. Bewarci
there is trapl
3. Never marry niggard, or close
fsted, mean, so;did man, who saves
ever, penny, or spends it grudgingly.
Take care, lest he stint you to death.
4. Never marry stranger, or one
whose character is not known or test.
ed. Some woman jump right into tho
fire with their eyes wide open.
5. Never marry nope or drone-
or one who drawls and draggles
through lite one foot after another,
and lets things take their chances.
.. Never narrya man who treats
his mother or sister unkindly or indil.
terently. Such treatment is sure in.
dication ofmeanness and wickednes
Z. Never on any account, marry =
gambler, protane person, one who in

religion. Such man can never make
a good husband.
8. Never marry sloven, a m:n who

wIsCOSsIN.-NAT.H 4. CARPENTER.

Mat. H. CARPENTER from Wisconsin, has
been added to the list Of new U. s. Senators.
Among the many able men who might have
been selected to fl the place disgraced by the
renegade Doolittle, and who wsuld honor the
State aud party we think Mr.. Carpenter
stands pre,eminent. He is one Of the few in
stances of public men who have been trans
ferred at once from private and professional
to Senatorial life. And but seldom could it
be SO worthily done as in his case Originally
he was . Vermonter. lie is a graduate Of
West Point, but preferring the law devoted
his attention to that, completing his legal
studies under the celebrated Rufus Choate, Of
Boston. In 1S4S he removed to Wisconsin,
making his home at Beloit for ten years, re,
moving to Milwaukee in 1858. We remem.
ber him before the war as thorough going
Democrat, but with the fall Of Fort Sumpter,
all that was changed. During the war no one
individual did more for the country in the
State than he. BY addresses and by the pen
he made some Of the noblest appeals and
strongest arguments in favor Of carrying on
the war to final and successful issue we
ever heard or rad
His course was not, like that of Doolittle
prompted by love of and desire for party
Dread and butter, but was the result Of thor
ough, honest loyalty. 1t cannot be said that
he sought the Office, but that the office sough.

that she has sloughed of the incubus Of boo.

The Test-Oath.

A few DAYS will settle the important
Question of the test-oath in this State. The
Cabinet. it is stated, will dispose OF it on
Friday. We are strongly inclined to the
opinion that the decision will be against
the onth. The news of such decision VIII
be most delightful to our people. 1t VIII
NJ once restore confidence and buoyancy in
cvcrv branch of commcrc and industry
That news will bring peace and healing on
;ts wings for disturbed and distrust1ul
community which has conformcd to every
requirement made of it by the Federal Go
vernment.
Should VIC be disappointed, let us not de-
spond. Let us wait patiently until Deccm-
Der, when we may fairly conclude that the
most cxacting of the dominant party in
Washington will be satisfied, and the State
will be admitted into the Union. Assuredly
it will be impossible longer to keep her
hanging about the door of the capitol. She
has fulfilled every demand and obeyed
every law to the letter. There is nothing
left undone. What further can bc asked
How can the Government refuse her admls-
sion What earthly pretcxt can there be
for any longer delay?
Virginia will then certainly be admit
ted; but VIC think that she will not be re-
ouired to take the test-oath now, and our
people may in feeling be reconstructed at
home, and proceed with confidence to the
noble work of demonstrating all the inte-
rests of the Commonwealth, and puttingthc
State on the highway to the grand destiny
which awaits her.

Our friend OF the Enquirer l. not cNactly
for nor against the Chinese immigration.
He is Of an inquiring mind, and derives in
finite satisfaction at contemplating new
combinations, elemental problems, and the
working out Of novel situations. His mind
is full of great events and wonderful revo-
lutions. He wants to see the tower of Babel
built, and then he wants to see it fall and
to look into the ruins and philosophizc upon
them: how the parts stand and the forces
of falling parts buried themselves and made
impressions so rare and curious. We begin
almost to suspect the Enquirer Of being
the source of the recent earthquakes, gotten
up for devout philosophic reflections, and
We feel somewhat uneasy Mt our conti@uity
10 that establishment. The curiosity of our
friend is SO searching and infinite that we
fear VIC shall ascend far towards the sky
some day from an exploded minc-all to
crafty the curiosity of the philosopher OF
the Enqujrcr to sec the shapcs.o of the ruins
of one he so much esteemed in life!
The Enqlirer wants to let the Chinese
Immigration take its natural course. SO
do we. But we arc decidedly opposed to
the forced introduction of Chinese or Afr-
can races. The Enquirer riots in the grand
contemplation of some mysterious provl-
Dental dispensation to grow out of the meet
ing of all races in this grand country, which
is thus to be developed to the general good,
glory, and power of mankind, &c. That is,
he rather so hopes, while dcvoutly trusting,
like Christian gentleman as he is, to the
Divine Will.
But why need the Enquirer, CARO- like,
indulge "this lingering hope, this fond de-
sire" when the examples of what the
Divine will is are so numerous as not to be
mistaken? Can he not be satisfied with the
consequences of introducing the negro into
this country? If not, he is hard to satisfy
Look at the innumcrable instances in his
tory of the national troubles that grew out
| of the detention of captured races us labor
| ers in foreign lands, and of the national
disorder, strife, and degradation, from the
commingling of incompatible races. Look
at Mexico and the South American States.
They are examples that put an end to dis
cusSion.
| He is looking for some new proyidential
manifestatlon-whent the wrath against all
these national situations" was forged in
the beginning, and never fails to descend
when provoked. We have just passed the
judgment-if we have passed it. And if our
friend lives long enough-as we hope he
may-and this new form of national ayarice
and vanity is fully carried out, he will see
the American tower of Babel tumble into
ruins, and may enjoy the philosophical
satisfaction of investigating the ruins!

CALEB CUSHING, in his speech in Boston
at the dinner to Mr.. BURLlNGAME, stated
that amongst the most profound statesmen
he had ever known were some he met in
China. CALEB will not fail to shave the
truth some little to make curl at the din
ner-tablc. We think the fact that the Chi
nese statesman sent such blatherskite as

to fill his pockets and make treaties settles
the question as to Chinese craftsmanship
