Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1870-02-10

To Gov. Merrill, who was himself one
OF Iowa's most distinguished soldiers
are the veterans OF the State mainly
indebted tor the successful inaugura
ton SO far, of 4 movement to bring
them together to the Capitol of then
State. on the first day OF next June
and their return to their homes with.
out expense, except as to officers, and
they are to be charged only hail fare
rates by the Railroad Companies.
These most uncommonly liberal ar
rangements agreed to by the differ
'ent railroad companies, which per.
meate Iowa IN every direction from
the Capitol, were made alone by the
Governor, after long series OF letters
and interviews with their officers, and
reflect great credit on all the parties
concerned.
AS our readers already know, the
final prelimlnaries were all arranged
at Des MONIES, recently, by the ap.
pointment OF committee of Ii from
all parts of the State on General Ar
rangements, with subcommittee OF
five, resident at Des Moincs, OF which
Governors Merrill is chairman, which
is expected to do the principal labor
of the affair.
Nothing can be more creditable to
the State of Iowa, than to be the frs,
to move in calling together withou,
respect to rank, all the gallant men
who followed their country's flag to
victory through four years OF bloody
war;
And what grand old reunion that
will be OF the veterans who fought at
Belmont, Henry, Donelson, Shiloh,
Nicksburg, Helena, Atlanta and else
where?
How the ties OF friendship and the
flames OF patriotic teryor which were
forged on the march, the biyouac and
in the red hot fire OF battle, will be re-
kindled by this meeting OF what is re-
naming OF the $4,000 men who re-
sponded to Father Abraham's call?
1t is intended to entertain these citi-
zen soldiers, while they remain in Des
Moines (Which may be two or three
days. tree to them as lar as possible
1t is farther contemplated that a
grand review will be held with the
soldiers and officers so near as may be
IN their original organizations, with
their old colors, &c, &c, and which
will unquestionably be the grandest
pagent ever witnessed in Iowa.
1t is predicted by many that the ex-
traordinary inducements offered, will
bring nearly every living Iowa soldier
to the Capitol, and that the column in
parade will contain not less than forty
thousand men or an army as large as
Lee had lett at Appomattox.
Prlvates and soldiers, Republicans
and Democrats, are all represented on
the Committee, and it is impossible
tor any fair or liberal man to torture it
into a political or personal axe grind
ing affair, and it will be discredltable
to any soldier to be absent from this
reunion unless for unavoidable rea-
sons.
We shall have more TO say of this
reunion hereafter; meantime, we sug-
gest to the Military Committees OF
houses of the Legislature, the proprie-
ty OF making liberal appropriations to
be placed al the disposal OF the Quar-
termaster, who may be appointed by
the aforesaid Committee.
Let every soldier OF Iowa's glorious
army commence getting ready now to

While Adam slept, God from him took
A bone; and, as an omen,
lie made it like seraph loak,
And thus created woman.
He took this bone, not from his pate,

Nor from his feet, to designate
-, - That he on her might trample'
But heath his arm, to clearly show
Hs always should protect her
And near his heart to let him know
How much he should respect her.
He look this bone, crooked enough,
Most crooked Of the human,
To show him how much crooked stuff
He'd always find in woman.

CORNELL CFLLEGE, Mr. NsaSov, a., J
January -, 1870 {

To the Editor OF the Evening Post:
In an editorial in your excellent
daily, of the Goth inst, You speak very
highly OF this institution aud several
others III this State, for which we are
greatly obliged. But there was a
slight mistake in the following SEN
tences, which wish to correct I'VE
believe, however, that in all these in-
stitutions though women might take
the same course prescribed tor men,
they might, nevertheless, receive di-
plomas upon the completion of less
rigorous course, especially designed
for women. The action of tue Uni
versity of Michigan in admitting wo-
men npon precisely the same terms
as men, and retaining them on the same
examination, and no other, is, there
tore, new thing under the sun
Iii behalf of Cornell College, let me
say that she has never had any ladies'
coarse, but has always admitted both
sexes, on equal terms, to the same
course OF study, and to the same col
legiate honors.
Yours Respectfully,
w. +. KING.

QUERY.-Is Chinese immigration plank
in the Republican party. and is mans
standing in the party to be measured by his
support or opposition to that system: Ii
every man in the Republican party, who is
opposed to a further continuance of Chinese
immigration is in consequence thereof to be
ruled out of that organization. then the Dem
ocrats have only to sit quietly in their places,
and the State will go in support Of their tick
ct by an overwhelming majority. There are
thousands of men in the Republican party,
who, while they are in favor of every protect
ion being extended to Cinnamon in the Coun-
try, a,e determinedly opposed TO any further
increase of that element. This is fact which
can not be disguised, and the politician who
argues TO the contrary is an ass or a knaye.
Republican leaders can not tie the masses of
the party down to a recognition, that Chinese
immigration, unchecked and in numbers, is
a principle of the organization demanding
and requiring their countenance; because
they won't give it if they do.

TERRIBLE CAsuALrY-Fivs CHrLDREN
BuRsso TO DsArH.-Tbe following par
ticulars of q most heari-rending calami
ty are from the Sacramento Record of
Monday:
Yesterday morning abou, 3 o'clock at
q point about fourteen miles from
knights Landing, Yolo county, there
occurred one of those fearful casualties
that at almost regular Intervals startle
the people of the State a, large, and fill
with horror the community in the imm--
diate neigh oorhood CT which they hap
pen. Murders. suicides, and deaths by
accident are at all times fearful TO know
of, but in this instance an additional
thrill pervades the community from the
know ledge that the unfortuuaies whose
lives have been lost fell victims 10 that
most Unsuitable of demons, FIRE. The
particulars as We learn them from Mr.. j.
z. Sullivan, Road Master of tine Califor-
MIA Pacific R.ilrosd resident at knight's
Landing, are as follows:
About fourteen miles west from that
place resided Mr.. and Mrs T F. Hughes
and family. Mrs. Hughes has for long
lime past been in sickly condition.
and on Saturday last her husband
brought her to this city to procure med
zeal treatment, leaving their five children
Ossian, aged ten years /; Homer, eight
Norris, six; Chester, four and Adelia
an infant Of four months, in charge of
Miss Emma F. Wright, aged sixteen
years, sister of Mrs. Hughes. John
Hughes, a brother of the afflicted father,
also remained at home. When they re-
tired for the night, John Hughes and the
oldest boy, Osslan, made their bed in
the barn, at some distance from the
house, while the balance of the family
retired to their respective rooms. Its
supposed that Miss Wright rose in the
night to quiet the child who had always
been fed with a bottle, and that BY some
means she set FIRE TO the mosquito bar or
bedding. But whatever the origin of
the FIRE may have been will never be |
known. However, about three O'Clock,
Hughes, sleeping in the barn, was
awakened by screams, and found to his |
horror that the house was wrapped in ,
flames. Rushing TO the door be found |
Emma with the infant in her arms, ly
ing just inside the door, burnt to
:riep. As the whole building vas on
ire, outside and in, any attempt 10 e1
inguish the flames or to rescue the
would have been ineffectual,
Ind Hughes was compelled to witness
be horrible death 10 which the children
: ere subjected,
AZ soon as the affair was known at
Landing, Mr.. Sullivan came up
o this city, bringing the sickening in
diligence 10 the unfortunate parents,
