Henry O'Connor on behalf of
tho State, is trying to find
some $4,000 lent from tho School
fund Of the State about ten years ago
to the Keokuk Medical College. It
is sort of non con'eatibus we guess, for
the reason that it probably, like the
Samaritan of old, fell among thieves.

MAY BOTH, 1S70.
All hail, the heroes of the war,
Who bravcly fought and fell,
For honor, right and freedom,
Oh, loud the anthem swell!
For no princely crown they fought;
They died for You and me. ~
They rent the chain of slavery
And set the bondsmen free.
Theyare sweetly sleeping now,
And as year succeedeth year,
We strew their lonely beds with flowers,
j And drop perchancc h tear.
In wreaths of fadeless glory
Their names are brightly crowned;
And when we speak their praises,
The very hills rcsound.
Now, TO deck the soldiers grave,h -
The brightest flowers are given;
Though doomed to wither, sure and soon,
They'll bloom anew IN Heaven.

The Sigourney Neaos man has GER
tainly got on stills in regard to
Judge Loughridge. In his issue Of
June LIST, he dovotes almost his en-
tire editorial columns to continu-
ance of his unwarranted attack upon
the Judge, and if we arc not misin-
formed, publishes garbled extract
from personal letter written to him
BY Mr.. Loughridge. in the course of
their correspondence during the year
1867, At the same time tho Ne,cs
man will not do Mr.. Loughridgc the
Justice to publish his letter in rcfu-
tation of tho charges made against
him. If We understand what fair
dealing would demand, it would be
that at least one chance of reply
should be granted to Mr.. Tough
ridge, especially when that reply is
couched in language SO respectful
that the most fastidious could not OBJ
ject to it. But the Neps man not
only does not give Mr.. Loughridge
an opportunity to reply through his
paper, but he also finds fault with
him because, cut off from newspaper
facilities by this want Of courtesy on
the part of his aecusers, he attempts
to distribute in pamphlet form his
letter in defense of himself. We
suppose it would be very agreeable
to Mr.. Lcughridge's newspaper ene-
mics to have q clear field among
their readers to blacken the charac.
ter Of their representative, at least
we must so conclude when we wit
ness their selfish attempts to cut him
off from being heard in his own de-
Tense. 1uat iaa a
It Will be observed in the course of
the canvass thus far, that the friends
of Mr.. Loughridge have treated his
chief opponent, Gov. Stone, as we'll
as all others, with fairness and re-
spect. Do the friends of Gov. Stone
suppose that he is above suspicion
that his political record cannot be
attacked 4? that ho does not occupy,
in any sense of the word, a glass
houses It. is not our wish to 1aunt
to the world IN bitter, vindictive
style, the shortcomings of Governor
Stone. It is not our desire to mis-
represen, him. We would not, es-
pecially, deny him hearing in our
columns, ifby force OF circumstances
we were compelled to attack his rec.
ord. To our friends who have dis.
carded Judge Loughridge and set up
as their ideal Gov. Stone, permit us
to say, or rather to suggest, that the
people of the Fourth District and OF
the State know of these men, their
public record has been before them
tor years, and We are quite willing
that the people should be the judges
as to whether you or we arc keeping
the better company.

at him, wounding him in the arm.
Corney then went off and got re.
volver, and stopped at some place
and had his arm dressed. While he
was yet at this, Kerns came along to
