The Republicans Of Marion Coun-

nomination Of Gov. Stone for Con.

/ Tent Of the cause Of their being dis
appointed. It may be very briefly
given. Before the permanent organ
ixation of the Convention last Thurs
day was made-indeed, before the
Convention met-it became apparent
that such was the state of facts and
feelings that neither the nomination
OF Gov. Stone nor that of Mr.. Lough-
ridge could be effected with a reason
able hope of harmony hereafter. 1t
Is deplorable that this was so, but 1t
was so. Gov. Stone therefore did
not allow his name to go before the
Convention, but proposed to his
friends to unite upon Gov. Walden;
and upon consultation this was
agreed to. On reflection we must
admit that this WAS best for the
party. We are disappointed as to
our first choice, but otherwise no
nomination could suit US better than
that Of Gov. Walden.

We run up at the head Of our col
umns today with pleasure the nomi-
nations and the Platform for which
and upon which we expect to do our
little best in the political campaign
now opened. Both will commend
themselves to the people. AS to the
candidates, good men all, their cleo
ton on the 18th Of October by 40, 900
majority depends only on the exist
ence Of themselves and the Republic
cans of Iowa till then; and when
elected they will serve the State
faithfully, as it has always been
served by Republican officials. Judges
Day and Miller, Hon. John Russell
and Col. Brown are the only ''new
men" nominated; and they are not
new to the people. The ticket is an
excellent one throughout, and one
which the most conscientious Repub-
lican will support the most heartily.
The Platform speaks for itself. On
the tariff question, land grants, and
immigration and naturalization ques-
tions, it gives forth no uncertain
sound. It might have touched on
other points, Of course, had 1t been
needed. But what it says, it says.
Contrast it with the effete and mean
ingless resolutions Of the Democratic
Convention.
We have, then, good ticket and
a good Platform. It remains now

1t will be observed that on several
ballots Mr.. Loughridge received only
the vote of single County, and at
no time carried more than 36, while
on the first ballot Gov. Walden had
32. The balloting was attended with
considerable excitement, with occa-
sional cheers as the "tide OF war"
varied from one side to another.
When the result Of the last ballot
was announced there was storm OF
cheers, after which, upon motion,
the nomination Of Gov. Walden was
made unanimous by acclamation.
Coz. Walden was then called out,
and made a few appropriate remarks,
pledging himself to the party and
people. Gov. Stone was then loudly
called, and responded, expressing
qualification at the denomination made,
and promising to "pull off his coat
and roll up his sleeves" and work
for the success OF the party In the
present campaign. Mr.. Loughridge
was called for, but made no response.
Ex-G0v. Kirkwood, Col. Meyer, and
Hon. J. Is. Grinnell were called, and
made due answer.
Committee on Resolutions then
presented their report, which was
adopted, as follows:
Resolred, That this Convention
does heartily endorse the Platform
adopted by the Iowa State Conven-
tion, held at Des Moines on the 18th
day OF August 1870.
i2esolved, That we hereby pledge
our full support to the nominee OF
this Convention.
Convention then adjourned.

The Call for the Republican Nom
mating Convention of this County,
to meet on the 10th of next month,
appears elsewhere in this paper. 1t
is to be hoped that each Township
will send up q full delegation. There
are fewer nominations to be made
than usual; but there are never any
more important than those Of the
three Supervisors who are to be
chosen this year. BY all means let
US have a full Convention Of repre-

London, dated last Monday, say that
France has demanded the mediation
of England and Italy. This looks as
if France was getting "sick of the
business. .''-President Grant has
issued Proclamation of neutrality.
The Prussians are still besieging
Strasbourg, and have changed the
course of little river there, to cut
off the supply Of water from the
French garrisOn.-The French
commander Bazaine is reported to be
absolutely cut off from his resources,
and the Prussians between him and
Paris. Marshal Mcmahon is also
believed to besurrounded.-16O,0O 900

French fear that the Prussians will
advance to Paris; and 1t is believed
ut London that one more decisive
battle will give Paris to the Prus-
slams.
The Prussian forces under King
William last Thursday attacked the
French under Bazaine, at Rezonville,
small place little west Of Metz;
and after a terrible battle, Of over
nine hours duration, the French
were totally defeated and forced
back on Metz, and their communica-
tions with Paris destroyed. There
were 40, 600 killed and wounded in
this battle. There were great re-
joicings at Berlin over the victory,
while Paris was tremendously excl
ted. 1t would appear that this battle

being near together.
The Prussians began bombarding
Strasbourg last Friday, from point
near Kiehl, on the other side OF the
Rhine.
There were also heavy battles last
week Tuesday and Wednesday, in
the region around Metz, in which
the Prussians attacked and were vic
torious. In that Of Wednesday the
French estimate that 10000 Prus-
slams were engaged. The losses in
these two battles, on both sides, are
stated at $4,000. killed and wounded.
1t Is estimated that the Prussians
have lost 100, 900 men since they en-.
tered France is stated that
there are now more than 400, ,OG0 Ger
mans between the Rhine and Paris;
and the French troops under Bazaine
and Mcmahon are stated at 4OO,Wo.
The French Emperor was at
Rheims last Sunday, some 10 miles
northeast of Paris. There is rumor
that he died there, under a surgical
operation.
1t is absolutely impossible to give'
a clear view of so gigantic a contest,
in any reasonable limits, at this dis
tance. The reports are exceedingly
mixed up, often very meager, and
quite contradictory. IT remains GER
tain, however, that the French are
getting badly whipped, and that the
end of Napoleon's government ~
probably near at hand. lie Is re-
sponsible for all this giganticcarnage
and devastation; and the sooner be

A Good Move.

In introducing into the Senate
of the United States his bill to
discontinue the publication of
books for popular distribution by
the Government, and to dispense
with the publication in the news
papers of all laws not of a general
and public nature, Senator An
thony, ofRhode Island, commends
himself to the thanks of the eOun.
try at large. This system has
been prolific source of corruption
and means of aggrandizefhent
for mere partisans and political
camp followers for more than d
quarter Of a century, and its drafts
upon the Treasury have annually
increased, until of late years they
have swollen to fearful proportions.
Few rejecting men of any shade
of politics, and who are honest in
the expression of opinions, would
admit that it has been productive
of any general benefit, or has adj
vanced the popular knowledge as
TO important political issues. 1t
is indeed, undeniable that it has
engendered disgracefuI amount
Of public and private corruption,
and log-rolling, while the tax pay.
ers OF the land have been flooded
with vast quantities of low, illogi-
cal, vulgar trash, in the shape Of
speeches of members of Congress
in the Congressional Globe, or of
crude, specious, sOphisms of spec
ulators or theorists, in the Patent
Office reports, most of which were
entirely void OF any fair claim to
public consideration. Hi.
1t has often been said that many
members of Congress owe their
retention of theirseats in that body
to popularity, created by liberal
distribution of public documents.
Such as Patent Office Reports,
the Congressional Globe, and the
various departmental reports, par
tlcularly when the first named
was well filled with pictures, and
it is notorious that many constitu-
encies in the West and Northwest
are more influenced in that way
than By sound logical arguments.
It isto be hoped that Senator
Anthony will go on with thislaud-
able work, fearlessly and energeti-
cally, until it is fully consuihmat-
ed. 1t resembles somewhat the
labor of Hercules cleansing the

fidently count upon the sympa-
thies of the honest men of all par

GREAT FLOODS IN ENGLAND
The London Times of December
21st states that heavy rains which
had prevailed for several days had
caused great floods in many parts
of England. In the mainland
counties they were very destruct
i've, and in the Vale OF Trent thou
sands of acres were submerged.
! At Nottingham the water in the
river reached within a foot and a
half of the highest point ever
known. Many buildings were
flooded. At Derby the Derwent
overfewed its banks and did an
immense amount of damage. The
water was five feet deep in a large
number of dwellings and ware
houses, and ST. Paurs Church was
locked up' with water SO that
keryice could be held on Sun
In Shropshire aud North
IS the rains produced foods
$6st unprecedented in the pres
ent century. At Shrewsbury,
where the rivers Severn and Res
join, the water submerged a vast
number of houses. Boats, cabs,
wagons and RATS were in constant
requisition to convey the people
from the suburbs to the center of
the town. An immense amount
of damage was done to stock and
property. At Melverly low-ly-
ing district, the cottagers were en-
tirely driven from their homes,
and the land for miles presented
a frightful waste of water, with
only the tops of trees here and
there interspersed. The injury
caused by the floods is estimated
at 100000.

A writer says with more force
than elegance: God intended all
women to be beautiful, as much
as he did the roses and the morn
ing glories; and what he intended
they should become, they would, if
they should obey his laws, and
cut Incidence and corset strings,
and indulge in freedom and fresh
air. For a girl to expect to be
handsome with the action of her
lungs dependent on the expansive
nature of a cents worth of tape,
is as absurd as to look for turnips
in a snow bank; or a full grown
oak in little flower pot.
