hope that their efforts will be rewarded by sue
cess. Let there be no disscneion about minor
matters; no time lost in the discussion of dead
Issues; no manifestation of sorrow or proscrip-
tive feeling; no sacrifice of the cause to crafty
personal ambition or resentment and let the
best men be chosen for candidates and we
may hope to see our country redeemed
from misrule. And in this connectioa we beg
leave to say a word to our fellow
citizens of the Southern States:-Do not risk
the loss of Senators or Representatives by
electing men who cannot take the test oath, or
who are under the disability imposed by the IF
teenth amendment. Whatever may be said as
to the validity of that amendment, or of the
Test-Oath act, you may rest assured that Sena-
tors elected by the votes of members of legisla-
lures who are held by the radicals to be thus
disqualified, will not be permitted to take their
seats, and that members of the House of Repre-
sentatives thus disqualified will also be ex-
cluded. IL is the plainest dictate of practical
wisdom not to incur any such risks We hope
soon to see the day when all disabilities will be
removed, but, in the meantime. do not, we
entreat you, lose the opportunity to strengthen
the Democratic and Conservative force in Con-
gTess and the possibility, nay probability, of
obtaining a majority in the next House of Re-
presentatives by putting it in the power of our
adversaries TO overthrow or disregard your cleo
tioDs.

The Fragments.

Contrary to the expectations OF
some, all the rations wcro not eaten.
So many of the mon took their meals
at hotels and restaurants, the supply
exceeded the demand. After break
fast, Friday morning, the Quarter
master had in tho cellar of the State
House:
One hundred and twenty nine box
es of cheese,
Eleven barrels of sugar.
Eleven barrels of pickles.
One hundred and twelve barrels OF
crackers.
Nineteen dozen boxes of table salt.
-Four barrels bread.
Could not ascertain whether any
meat and coffee were on hand at the
cook house. We believe the arrange.
ment was made for returning all
goods not broken. SO there will DO all
Of this saved. 1t is much better to
have this on hand, with all stomachs
satisfied, than to run short and hear
men complain of not getting enough
to eat.--Register.

Cox is taking great pride in q SELF
imposed task to have the buildings

bers Of the association owning tho

their power TO secure, if possible,
more successful exhibition than the
society has ever had, and should the
weather be favorable, we have every
reason to believe that their efforts
will be crowned with success. Main

direct to the principal entrance gate,
and the approaches generally are
much improved. Visitors will be
entertained, as formerly, with liberal
hospitality by tho citizens of
Keokuk, and the hotels which offer
superior Inducements over those of
last year, will be found equal to the
occasion at moderate rates for board.
We hope our farmers, fruit culturists
mechanics, manufacturers, ETC., will
not fail to contribute Of their produc-

success, but to show the great skill
our people have attained in every
industrial department; and as our
ladies have large inducements in the

we hope they will not fail to contri-
butte their share Of the useful and

extent. We will be there to record

Napoleon has Played and
Lost.

Our Minister at the Court OF St.
James gives tho official intelligence OF
the surrender of Napoleon and McMa.
hons army on tho. second of the
present month"; at Sedan, near the
Belgian frontier. "A ecries of ter
rible battles for four days bad been
raging between the \ oontonding
armies in which tho loss was cncr-
NOUS and finally eliminated in
the complete route of the French
and the wounding of Mcmahon.
Both armies fought well, tho French
holdirg out against greatly superior
numbers, with q stubborness, worthy
Of their great reputation as soldiers,
but they could not wiring victory
from their opponents, who out-num-
bered them nearly or quite two to
one, and who to say the least, were
equally rs good soldiers with tho
prestige of uninterrupted victories in
their favor. The result stamps
Prussia as the pre-emidently success
full and illustrious power Of Europe,
and it cxemplifes the stubborn fact
that she is governed by, and her army
officered by, as able men as can be
found upon the globe, while tho dis
cipline and prowess of her soldiers
has nevor been excolled. On the
other hand, France with the material
within her border to mobilize a
larger army than her opponent, has
suffered her forces to be outnumbercd
in every conflict through bad gener-
alship, and want Of proper prepare
ton. Whether Che provisional
government Of France will yet hold
out and Paris be bssieged OF not, a
few days will determine. IL were
useless to desc, for King William has
France completely within his power,
and therefore we conclude that tho
war is virtually closed. The probable
issue of oil this will be German unity,
France being stripped Of her Rhine
provinces, and new dynasty given

DEAD.

The Ottumwa Reveit1e announ-
ces its own dissolution. 1t
died because there was no place for
it to draw the breath of life here !;
because it was printed at less than
the white paper it was printed on
was worth, and because one side of it
was printed in Chicago, and our peo.
pie arc too smart to pay for Chicago
advertising 'innards."
A weekly paper published here at
one dollar per annum, however
,oeakty that paper may be, will sur.
vive just about NJ long as merchant
will. who sells calico for ten cents
per yard, which costs him twelve.
For the sake of glory, and to secure
a fictitious reputation, and to pick up
job patronage, such a paper may
linger along a few weeks, a but
Z q
death inexorably awaits it.
The Bulletin, at Des Moines, ia
another notable example in hand.
II furnished it's daily and weekly
issues, for about what the white
paper was worth, and charged only
half rates for job work and advert.
sing, and Notwithstanding it was a
paper Of real ability, all printed at
home, and mechanically got up in
the best style Of the art, it has finally
found out in the language of st.
Paul shat there is no use of kicking
against the pricks,' and it too has
succumbed.
We do not desire to rejoice over
the death Of the ReueiVe, because
really it was never in our way, our
business all the time during its puny
existence beng constantly on the
increase, but only refer 10 its demise
to point a moral, and adcrn a tale.
