VOTE FOR GOV. MERRILL.

Every voter In Fort Dodge should
support Gov. Merrill against Mr.. Gill
laspy, tot simply because b. IL Q
much better man on general prinei-
Piles than the Democratic Candidate
but because Gov. Merrill is the htmi
fast ind outspokcn fiiend of our town,
though no has not a dollar of pecu-
mary interest in it. On the other
hand, Gillaspy owns a large interest
in town lots and land adjacent, and
has never by word or act, manifest
ed any interest in its prosperity, but
has meanly sneaked out Of paying
his just share Of the expenses in &C.
curing railroads and other improve.

The Commercial advertiser thus
notices the last event in New York
journallsm:-"Mr. Bigelow is digni-
fed, conscientious and scholarly Jour
nalist, as every one admits, but Mr..
B. has been too long out Of the edito-
rial harness End the management of
newspapers to make q successful ed
itor.in-chief Mr.. B. retires from the
Times to take his ease and comfort,
and to make room for some gentle
man to whom hard work and late
hours will be moro agreeable. We
regret that Mr.. Bigelow sretires,,, be-
cause he was a courteous, tinofend-
ling, and bonhomme editor. Who is
to succeed Mr.. B. is not yet known
to the public. Mr.. Luther r. Marsh,
a leading member of the New York
bar, and writer Of some mark, Is
spoken of but conducting law case
and editing newspaper are two diff.
ferent affairs altogether"

Five hundred millions of gold was
the sum of the Wall street sales OF
that terrible Friday. This amount
Of gold, upon rough estimate, al
lowing sixteen dollars to the ounce,
and sixteen ounces to the pound, and
two thousand pounds to the ton, and
one ton to each cart, would require a
thousand carts to move 1t; and al
lowing twenty feet to each horse and
cart, the string OF carts would be
about eight miles long. No wonder
Wall street collapsed. Thus COM
mutes the New York Herald. 1t ex.
hibits a wonderful transaction upon
fiction. The amounts were all mag
inary-mere contracts on paper, or
by word of mouth, without scarcely
q dollar of gold being seen. If actual
gold passed between the operations,
the amount in New York must have
the velocity of electricity to have
performed the rounds which the con-
tracts require.

The indianapolis Journal says Gov.
BAKER lied with the Secretary Of
State on Saturday last the Specific
Appropriation Bill, with the follow
ing Endorsement:
This bill was presented to me on
the 18th day Of May, 1869, and the
final adjournment of the General As
sembly took place on the 18th day Of
the same month, and the bill not hav-
ing been acted upon within five days
thereafter, took effect without Ex-
ecutive approval, on the I'D day Of
May. 1869"
Four other bills were fled at the
same time, with the same indorse-
ment, as follows:
S. I34 A bill to authorize and en-
courage the construction of levees,
dikes and drains, and the reclama-
ton of wet and overfowed lands by
incorporated associations, and to re-
peal all former laws relating to the
same subject.

THE Cubans, at last, seem to have
got government formally and regu
larry inaugurated. Heretofore, we
apprehend. their government has
necessarily been that of the leader Of
the revolution, untrammeled by
checks or balances. CEsPEDEs is the
President of the newborn Republic.
and QUEsADA commander of the
forces. Besides, we have the names
Of the Vice President and Secretaries
Of State and of War The proclamr-
ton Of the military and civil leaders
are In the usual style of Spanish
dOcuments-rather glowing-but still
bear every Indication that their au-
thors and the people are terribly in
earnest. Take this as a sample. 1t
is QUEsADA's reference to VALMA-
sEDA, the author of the infamous
proclamation published a week or
two ago:
THE tyrant Valmaseda rambles
with the incendiary's torch aud the
homicidal knife over the fields Of
Cuba. He has never done otherwise,
but now adds to his crime the still
greater one of publishing it by a
proclamation, which we can only de
scribe by pronouncing it to be a proc
lamation worthy of the Spanish Gov
eminent. Thereby our property is
menaced by fire and pillage; this is
nothing. 1t threatens us with death !;
and this is nothing, But even our
mothers, wives. daughters, and sisters
are mena:ed with resort to violence.
FGrocity is the valor of cow

An exchange correctly states that
the new election law of this State
does not take away the secrecy of the
ballot as has been repeatedly asserted
By Democratic papers. No one has a
right or viii be permitted to examine
the tally lists aud compare them with
ballots casts, ercfpt in cases Of con-
tested elections. The object of the
statute is to facilitate The proof Of
illegal voting. The ballots and tally
lists will be scaled and deposited with
the proper officer, and will not be
subject to examination like the rec
ords in the public offices, except, as
we have stated, in cases of contested
elections.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Revolution, the woman's rights paper
protests that the ordinary female cos
tune interposes formidable obstacles
to the successful prosecution of gar
dening. She says:
Down goes the spade and up goes
the hoops. Your skirts are under
your feet, and you are worn ont in a
little while without having accom-
plished anything. Women would
need twice the strength of men to
work In the costume now worn: and T
am quite satisfied that the reluctapce
to open new employment for women
has been owing to this cause more
than to any other.
To this the ReUolutton REPLIES:
As to Woman's dresses, we think il
superlatively ridiculous, from her
heels to her head, a sheer Invention Of
the devil to befool and belittle her.
and just as fast as she seeks active
work and amusements she will Law It
aside. ALREADY at the gymnasium and
skating pond, girls have donned a
dress that leaves their lungs and legs
free. The idea that woman is made
like churn on casters IS fast passing
away, and it will not be long ere she
too, will honor the bilureated gar,
ments and find new health and vigor
10 the deep breathing and freedom Of
.locomotlon.
