Senator Yates and President Grant.

The New York World has full report
of, the Woman's Suffrage Convention at
Cleveland. There was nothing new in the
various speeches of the strong minded
women, if we except the the following ex.
tract from one delivered by Mrs. Mary A.
Livermore, of Chicago:
Mrs. Livermore spoke particularly of
the effect of woman's vote on the temper
ance question. She told how when engag-
ed in hospital work during the war. she
needed the signature Of the Governor of
the State of Illinois to some document,
and after going to several places could not
find him. Finally the hackman said he
could find him, and took her to liquor
saloon. He went in and found the Gov
ernor, but told Mrs. Liyermore that she
must 90 in for he could not come out She
went in, and there behind green screen

ALLAMAKEE Co.-At the late election
P. G. Wright, Dem. and Jno. Haney, jr.
Rep. had an equal number of votes for
Representative. The Board of Supervi
sors SO reported. The rivals agreed to
settle the question at once by lot. Mr..
Wright won the seat. Since then, reports
obtained, that Wright received many
fraudulent or improperly reported votes in
one township, and complaint was made by
parties opposed to P. G. We are told Mr..
Haney took but little, if any, interest in
the matter. The following paragraph from
the Waukon Standard of last week, settles
the affair. We are glad John did not
appear. After agreeing to "break the
tie by lot, it would have been in bad
taste to 20 back Of that agreement. The
Board, in receiving the returns from the
Inspectors of elections, should have ex-
amined their legality before counting the
votes. We presume they did so. If they
did not, they failed in official duty.
Monday last was the day appointed for
abe "Contested Election case trial before
Judge Durdick, between j. Haney Jr.,
and P. g. Wright. Mr.. Wright was on
hand Mr.. Haney did not make his ap-
pearance, either personally or by counsel.
Therefore. we suppose the thing is ended;
and Mr.. Wright goes to Des Moines.

burden Of interest ought to be reduced
as rapidly as can be done without the
violation Of the contract. The public
debt is represented in great part by
bonds, having from FIVE to twenty and
and from ten to forty years to run, bear
ing interest a. the rate of six per cent.
respectively. 1t is optional with the
Government to pay these bonds at any
period after the expiration of the least
time mentioned upon their face. The
time has already expired when a good
part of them may be taken up. The
time is rapidly approaching when all
may be. 1t is believed that all which
are now due may be replaced by bonds
bearing rate Of interest not exceeding
four and half per cent, and as rapidly
as the remainder become due that they
may be replaced in the same way. To
accomplish this it may be necessary to
authorize the interest to be paid at either
of the three of four Of the money CEN
tiers Of Europe, or by any Assistant
Treasurer of the United States at the
option of the holder of the bond. l
suggest this subject for the consideration
Of Congress; also simultaneously with
this, the propriety Of redeening our
currency as before suggested, at its mar
ket value, at its market value, at the
time the law goes into effect, increasing
the rate which currency will be bought
and sold from day to day or week to
week at the same rate of interest as the
Government pays on its bonds.
The subject Of the tariff and internal
taxation will necessarily receive your at
tsntion. The revenues of the country are
greater than the requirements, and may
with safety be reduced, but as the funding
of the dept in four or four and a half
per cent loan would reduce the annual
current expense largely. thus, after funds
ing justifying greater reduction of tax
alton than would be now expedient.
suggest postponement of this question
until the next meeting of Congress. It
may be advisable TO modify taxation and
tariff in instances where unjust or burden
some determinations are made by the
present laws, but ~ general revision of the
laws regulating this subject, recommend
the postponement of for the present.
also suggest the renewal of the tax on
incomes, but to reduced rate. say of 8
per cent, and this tax to expire in three
years, with the funding of the national
dept, as here suggested.

MoNoNA, Iowa, Dec. 4th, 1869.
Eds. NORM Iowa TINES:
Although the TIMES has very large
circulation in Monona and vicinity, still
little is ever s.en in its columns in any
form concerning us as city. This may
be accounted fur on tho hypothesis-that
the McGregor people look upon Monona
as only suburb Of McGregor, and that
we have heretofore been too modest to say
anything concerning ourselves. But "the
world moves" and Monona is improving.
We have three large churches where
services are regularly conducted, and an
other is in course of construction.
The new school house which has just
been completed and elegantly furnished,
will compare fsvorably with any school
building in this part of the State. 1t was
erected at a cost of about $50, 900, and
will accommodate 500 students. A highly
competent corps Of teachers has been Sc,
cured for the ensuing year, headed by
Prof. NJ. w. Bailey, of Wis, as Principal
Prof. Bailcy's reputation as an educator
in Wis, and the able manner in which h.
has conducted our school during the term
just closed, render comment on his ability
unnecessary.
The regular winter term will begin on
Monday, Dec. 18th. Owing to the num-
Der of teachers employed, and the capaci-
ty of the building, students from abroad
will be received at very reasonable rates
Of tuition. Those desiring to become
teachers, think, will find it particularly
to their advantage to patronize this school
Your correspondent has been informed by
the Principal that normal class will be
formed each term for the special benefit of
such students.
There is much here to write about, but
this letter is already long enough. Mono-
ma stands far Adore McGregor, at least in
one sense Of the word /! If I have any
thing to say hereafter, you will hear from
me again.

The Fort Dodge Coal Mines.

The Dubuque Times, in speaking oil
the coal mines at Fort Dodge, says the
main entrance to the mines has been
opened distance of two hundred and
fifty feet, where cross entry has been
opened, and fourteen rooms, or more
properly speaking, chambers, placed in
working order. The other entrance ways
have also been completed, each one hun
dred feet in length. In order to trans
port the coal to the railroad track, a side
track, two miles in length, has been gra-
ded. One half of this has been complet-
ed and is now in operation, and the bal>
ance will be completed the present week.
Teames are nov hauling coal from the
mines at the rate of one and three car
loads per day. The working force now
consists of forty-two miners, and fresh
additions are being received daily. The
company expect to get everything in good
working order by spring, when they will
be able to raise thirty car loads of coal
per day. Coal at the mouth of the shaft,
sells readily at $3.50 per ton, and the
slack, or refuse coal, at one dollar per
ton. The people and farmers in that
vicinity depend upon it principally for
their fuel, and at the main opening on
any fine day perfect jam of teams can
be seen waiting for their turn, and load.
As before announced, the coal is of the
very best quality. No sulphur has been
discovered except at the bottom of the
strata, where small sheet has been found,
about the thickness of piece of paste
board. All of the best informed parties
who have examined it pronounce it the
very best quality Of coal.

The Oldest inhabitant yet discovered
in Missouri or Iowa is only Ill years
old. But the individual is mere child
when compared to the old Indian who
still inhabits the island in the north
west portion Of lake Mendoza, about six
miles from this city. This "aborgine Of
the forest was immensely aged 38 years
ago when Richard L. Bigzell-the first
white man who visited this section OF
the State-found him. This Indian
was Of the Winnebago tribe, and at that
time had great-grand-children being
with him who presented venerable
appearance. His children were all
dead, and only one grandchild remain
ed-at least SO far as he knew. The
old patriarch was called Jeno-mernee
in the Winnebago Tongue, meaning
"ncyer-die." But it is said in his youth
and middle a2e he was called Ev ird-
9Th, or aBloody Wolf" OF course it is
impossible to tell exactly his age but
the Oldest settlers all agree that he can
not be less than 100 years old. The
only one Of his family left with him, or
known now to be alive, is great-great-
grandson, supposed to be about 80 years
of age. He can occasionally be seen in
our streets generally accompanied by a
long written petition, calling for tobac-
co, money and whiskey. He despises
beer, calling it sslopes." The island is
now joined to the mainland by narrow
isthmus, partly artificial. The island is
only about three acres in extent; and
although legally belonging to q neigh
boring farmer, the old Indian has never
been disturbed in his possession Mad
