Grant and the Gold Ring

The President has been accused of

swer to the inquiries of his intimate

the statements or insinuations made
against me by irresponsible parties,

That Excursion.

Supt. Hammond of the Union Pa
cific Railroad must he generous
man, extremely so. He has consent
ed to allow the editorial fraternity of
Iowa to ride over his road to Califor-
mia at excursion rates. for the small
sum Of Sl4O. In addition to that he
will allow every one, we suppose, to
stand all damages i'm case they get
tumbled down those declevities two
or three hundred feet. We reserve
Mt least that privilege. 1t wouldn't
be just, that Supt. Hammond and
his road should pay for broken necks
after being 40 liberal as to let us ride
for $40. Supt. Hammond we thank
you! Iowa editors can run their pa.
pers Just as well without seeing
California or the Rocky Mountains
They need that amount of money
every day and will probably keep 1t
and stay ct home. Besides we
don't believe that the Iowa press
gang care about going over Supt.
Hammond's road. It's no pleasure
to run thelisk of bunting ones braiLs
out against Buffalo for the sake of
seeing John Chinaman or any other
man. If Supt. Hammond wants us
to ride over his road, he can tender
us that $40, and we will then take
the matter under consideration.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

The year which is drawing to a
close has been free from pestilence.
Health has prevailed throughout the

OF the past conflict and arrangement
Burdens have been lightened and
means increased. Civil and religious
liberty are secured to every inhabit-
ant of the land, whose soil is trod by
none but freemen.
1t becomes people thus favored to
make acknowledgement to the Su-
preme Author from whom such
blessings flow of their gratitude and
their dependence, to render praise
and thanksgiving for the same and
devoutly to imp,ore CONTINGENCY of
Gods mercips.
Therefore I Ulysses s. Grant. Presi-
dent of the United States, do recon-

toned places of public worship and
to unite i'm the homage and praise
due to the Bountiful Father of all
Mercy, and in fervent prayers for the
continuance of the mercies and bless
ings he has vouchsated to Us as peo-
pie. In testimony whereof | have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States TO be affixed
this, the 5th day of October, A. ID.

Secretary of war.

General William Belknap of keo-
kuk has been appointed Secretary IF
War. This announcement has been
O subject of surprise to the whole
country. He figured somewhat con-
spicuously during the war, and rose
to the rank of q Major General, but
was little known since outside of his
own home. Those who know him
most intimately give assurance that
he is q man well fitted for the posi-
ton.
The Davenport Journal says " he
is gentleman If fire literary as well
as legal attainments, of excellent
Judgment, of uncommon secretion as
we'll as discretion, and great industry.
He will soon make himself acquaint-
ed with the duties of his new posi-
ton, and we predict his administra-
ton of the War Department will lie
q success. We are sure, that if Gen.
Rawlins could have had the appoint
ment of his successor, Gen Belknap
would have been his selection.
In 1861 Gen. Pelknap accepted the
appointment, made by Gov. Kirk.
wood, of Major of the 18th Iowa
Infantry, and in the Spring of 1862
went with his regiment to the war.
He was rapidly promoted, and in
1854 was appointed Brigadier General
and took command of the "Old Iowa
Brigade" At the close Of the war
he was brevetted Major General. For
long period Immediately under the
eye and command Of Cen. Grant,
ard enjoying his personal acquaint-
ance, his commander had opportu.
nifty TO observe aud recognize his
merits If he had them, or his fanlts.
The result of his opinion of the abili-
ties of Gen. Belknap is best known

AS the Tribune would say:
REMARKS OF THE GAzE1


The above paragraph condeRses q
fund of truth in nut shell, Iowa
contains her full proportion OF poor
people, who find it difficult to make n
living. But is it the fault of Iowa or
of the men who attempt to get rich
from her productive soil. No Stale
i'm the Union presents better induce
lnents to the poor man than Iowa,
but it requires hard work and judi
cious management, here as well a.
in Ohio, Pennsylvania or New Eng
land. Man was to earn bis bread by
the sweat of his brow. and it ap-
plies to Iowa the same AS to any othe.
part of this globe. Men say to us
sometimes, the papers of Iowa deceiv
ed me. they colored the the thing to
much" When we hear such we nj
ways place them in the list with the
freshman who saw quarter lying
on the sidewalk in New York city
but wouldn't pick it up as he expect
cd to grasp dolla's or none ut all.
No! Iowa wants working, wild.
awake. living men. Every man
who makes money from her broa,
acres must chew his own victuals.
