Iowa Soldiers Reunion.


In order to save the trouble of numer.
Gus inquiries, l will repeat what has already
been stated and add thereto some other
statements.
The Reunion of Iowa soldiers will take
place Aug. 3lst aud Sept. LIST, 1870.
The Iowa soldiers will be CONVEYED free
over the railroads to Des Moires. "and
return
The Iowa officers will be conveyed ..
onp.hali fare.
The tickets will be good from August 29tL
to Sept. 9Th, 1870.
This tribute to the character Of the Iowa
solliery is a voluntary act of the railroads,
and will amount to between 100000 and
100000.
We have no power to compel the railroads
20 convey any one free.
The soldiers of 1912, soldiers of the Mex
lean war, and soldiers of other States now
in this State, will be most cordially received
and cared for while here during the Rem
ion, and will be assigned to positions in the
proceedings with the Iowa soldiers but we
have no power to give them free transporta
tim, or TO compile the railroads to give it to
them, or to take out of the $4,000 appro-
priated by the last General Assembly, any
portion of the same for their Transports
ton.
| We have no power to eXpend any por-
| ton OF the $4,000 in the transportation
OF the Iowa Soldiers now in other States to
| the borders OF this State.
| We cannot give transportation to militia
companies, no matter how organized.
We cannot give transportation to bands
Of musicians, unless they were musicians in
the Iowa regiments.
The railroads require that all thickets
for soldiers shall be signed by the proper
official of the railroad; then countersgned
! by the Adj't General of the State, and care
| fully distributed to those who are entitled
to the same.
Officers, to obtain half fare, will be com.
PEELED to show their commissions, or Ger.
tifcate from The Adjulant- General that they
were commissioned as officers.
In the arrangements and programme,
the Executive Committee will have much
labor, and all soldiery will reminder that in
the encampment of from ten to twenty
thousand men, the arrangement Of quarters,
the preparation Of ratiol s, and in all other
matters connected with the "Reunon," there
must be much care, labor, ani patience.
The programme Will be published as
soon as all the arrangements are compile
ted.
General Belknap, Secretary of War, will
deliver the Grafton, and General Sherm an
will be here. NIB. BAKER.

The result of the ward caucuses held a
few nights since in Dubuque, was the cleo
ton of delegates to the County Convention,
inimical to the aspira tons of S. P. Adams
for the Judgeship of the 9th District, and
favorable to those of Pollock. We care
nothing for Pollock, but it always rejoices
US 10 see thus summarily set aside the
claims of men who like Adams have sought
to make the organization Of the Republican
party, the instrument of their hates and re-
venges, regarding less its unity and good
name, than its ability to minister to their
yindictive behests. Aside from this, these
very elements of intolerant prejudice and
unreasoning rancor which appear SO promi.
nently in Mr.. Adams character, unfit him
for judicial position any way.

HOT WHEAT.

We notice that some Of our exchanges
are showing up the rnscalities practiced by
the elevator men Of Chicago, and especially
tina, particular swindle, by whirh at this
time OF year, grain received and certified as
good, is upon demand Of settlement by
the consignor, conveniently made to appear
as cheated and the owner subjected to
great loss in consequence of the pretended
depreciation in quality.
1, is we'll known fact that grain shipped
t an agent or merchant in Chicago, never
reaches him direct. I, is pounced upon at
its arrival in Chicago, by the pirates Of the
elevator, and without consent of shipper or
consignec, after inspection and grading at
the expense of the owner, dumped into the
bins Of the elevator. A certificate is issued
to the consignee, which may and in many
cases does represent the grain as much be-
low its actual quality. The elevator men
have thus double chance to swiudle the
consignor. first in the actual grade of his
wheat, and second, in the pretense that it
las heated while in his possession, and the
latter is compelled 10 submit to the heavy
loss, and know that he is swindled without
the hope of redress.
Various schemes are proposed for break
ing up this nefarious business, but none will
prove 80 eifectnal as the building Up of 9TH
er and rival markets for our products and
the fostering of projects which will afford
the farmers of Iowa easy access to those
markets. We think the signs are not want
ing that at no distant day ST. Louis will
furnish that market for our grain, and that
in the competition between that city and
her great rival on the lake, our people will
find the remedy for this and other fragrant
abuses growing out Of railroad combina
tons.
