FREMONT, Iowa, Juno IA, 20.
EDITOR CoUR1ER-Dear Sir Per-
haps few remarks in reference to
our town and surrounding country,
would DO perused with interest by
your many readers. Although, resid.
ing outside of old Wapello, yet there
is quite a number of our citizens
who are subscribers to the COURIER.
Quite an interest is seeming to be
manifested in regard to the Ottum-
wa & Cedar Falls RR. We under
stand the route is being surveyed Ola
Kirkville and Montexuma. The
Kirkvillians seem to be in good spirits
in regard to the road being built
drought their town. We expect to
let them think so, and erect "Castles
in the air." but zoe, Fremont, are
bound to have that road. But we
will await the arrival of the corps
Of engineers, and then, l suppose,
the future prospect of this little
burgh will, in part, be foretold,-at
least, give us renewed encourage
ment.
A word in regard to crops: Corn
is beginning to look fino, after the
fearful ravages of the cut worm
Wheat looks very we'll oats, also,
appear fine. The fruit prospect is
fair.
But I guess l will weary the pa.
tience of your many readers, and
therefore will close.
Youss truly,
AMBITIOUS.

have written for an engineer this
morning, and tho survey will be com
menced at once from here to the

As soon as we can ascertain the
position Of the Iowa h Southwestern

ter have meeting to consult on all
matters Of mutual interest connected
with it. The Chicago Il Southwest
ern has taken the route of tho Chilli
Gothic 4 Des Moines road, by Confer
vile and Trenton. That route was
adopted at Chicago on tho I'd of
june. We arc not sorry to got rid of
them, and can now get better road
for the same money. We should be
glad to hear from you and tho friends
of this route in Ottumwa.

We do not propose to take part in
tho contest for the congressional no
mination in the Fourth District; we
must insist, however, upon fair play.
We notice that some Of tho papers
in that district persist in charging
Judge Loughridgc with voting
against the Fifteenth Amendment,
and they refuse to state fairly and
fully the explanation Of the matter.
This is not fair. Let the facts be
stated. When these are understood,
we think no fair.minded man can
claim that Judge Loughridge voted
against the Fifteenth Amendment.
He voted for it repeatedly in tho
course of its progress through the
House, and he made q speech in ad-
vocacy of it. He voted against
report of a committee of conference,
because it lett out the clause giving
the right to hold office, which both
Houses had agreed to, and which the
committee of conference had no right
to omit. There was no conflict upon
that clause, and tho committee were
not authorized to confer in relation
to it. Their duty was to consider
tho difference between the two
Houses. The vote of Judge Tough
ridge was for an enlargement of the
amendment. If he and those with
whom he acted had succeeded, it
would not have dafaatad tho opond
ment, but only have required the
of a second committee OF

MY DEAR SIR:
In reply to your note received this
morning, in relation to your vote on
the question of tho adoption of the
Fifteenth Amendment Of the Con-
stitution OF the United States, I
have to say that your position was
never doubtful. You were known
to be earnestly in favor of all that is
contained in that Amendment, and
desired also to incorporate in it
provision protecting equality Of right
to hold office as we'll as equality Of
right to vote. Your vote against tho
adoption OF the report of tho Com.
mittee Of Conference was in perfect
harmony with this position, and was
not vote against the Amendment.
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,

WHEREAS, Il hath pleased tho
Divine Architect of the Universe,
with his immutable DEGREES and wise
councils, to call away from us our
worthy and dearly beloved brother,

ness, to his reward in the celestial
lodge above, where all good Masons
expect to meet, and where the light
of God sheds its perpetual cffalgcnce
and unfading glory upon those who
wrought faithfully in the discharge
of those duties assigned them to act
whilst sojourning in this stage of
existence; and, whilst wo deplore his
acute suffering and premature death,
We humbly acknowledge the fat of
the Eternal Ono, who doeth all things
well, and bow with humble reverence
before his justice, in calling away
our dcar brother to mingle with tho
redeemed, by tho blood Of a cruciied
Saviour, in never-ending joys and
