adjourned on Tuesday, after two days
session. Nothing of special interest was
transacted during the session aside from
levying of the taxes, and the submission to
vote of the people of a proposition to en-
crease the membership of the Board Of
Supervisors for the year 1872 and thereafter
from three to seven. By the terms of the
amended act of the legislature, counties are
bound to try the "council of three" for one
year at least, after which they may enlarge
the board to five or seven members, if so
minded.

mr.. Donnan nnd Tho Tariff.

Our neighbor of the Conservative in una
king mention of Mr.. Domains nomination
last week, felt impelled rs political oppo
nent to say something which should be in.
imical to that gent!eman's success. Una
BILE or unwilling to attack Mr.. Domains
character or ability, he conjures up an APP
palling picture of his alleged unsoundness
on the tariff question. He AYERS with much
apparent earnestncss that Mr.. Donnan is
is strictly "subservient to the interests Of the
manufacturers of New England" and is
identified with doctrine which "compels
the western consumer to pay the eastern
manufacturers one dollar for every sixty
cents worth of manufactured articles be
buys"
Now, aware that the writer in the Con-
serratire was, not to put too fine point
upon it, making an ass of himself by talk
ing about that Of which he knew nothing,
we were disposed to let the article pass with
out comment But seeing it copied and
commented upon ii one of the Dubuque
papers, and aware that the silence of Mr..
Domains friends would be taken as con-
firmatiou Of its truth, we are constrained 10
contradict its misstatements.
The position of Mr.. Donnan on the tariff
question is that which every sensible man
in the country, not warped by selfish inter-
ests must ultimately come to, and that is
the middle ground between the extremes of
free trade on the one hand, ard high or
prohibitory tariff on the other.
Mr.. Donnan is western man in feeling
and interest. lie will spare no effort to
build up the prosperity of the west, and es-
pecially OF Iowa, but his vote will never be
given in Congress or elsewhere for the ad-
yancement Of one interest at tue expense of
all the rest; certainly not at the expense Of
those of his own constituents. On practical
issues so far is he removed from being sub
servient to the interests Of the manufacture.
ers of New England, that he not only ap
proves of the reductions heretofore made in
the present tariff, but favors still further re-
duction of duties on some articles, and holds
that additions to the free list might yet be
made with advantage to the country. He
regards the present tariff of high duties as
one of series of war measures, necessary
in the presence of arms, but to be material
ly modified when the causes which brought
it into being have ceased to operate. In short
Mr.. Donnan favors tariff primarily for
revenue, but with such wise discrimination
as shall enable American industry to have
fair and equal competition with foreign
capital and labor; mol favor, but equal
justice.
As to the discussion of this or any other
subject, he will not shrink from it. The
Conservatives candidate for Congress is
aware of that fact ere this.

deep trench designed for the location Of
an air duct, cart loaded with stone pass

trench to cave in, buryirg two Of the men

situation for few minutes was somewhat
perilous. They were finally dug out by

A CHARGE UNsUsTAINED.-On Monday
Of this week, John Murphy was arrested
and brought before II. G. Curtis, Esq, on a
charge of perjury, preferred by Edward
Touhey, the alleged offense growing out Of
testimony given by Murphy in suits tried at
the current term of the Circuit Court, in
which he was the plaintiff and Touhey de-
PENDANT. Upon investigation before the
magistrate, nothing was adduced sufficient
to sustain the charge and the prisoner was
accordingly discharged. Touhey was toe
touchy. He should have waited until the

THE WAR.

The news from Europe during the las
week has been sufficiently definite and ex
citing to made up for all previous uncertain
ty rs to the details and probable results Of
the stupendous war going on on the soil Of
France.
The looked for downfall Of the Napoleonic
dynasty has come at last, and the empire,
like huge bubble, pricked by Prussian
bayonets, has vanished. After three days
of most terrific fighting, McMahon's army,
10000 strong, with the Emperor, were
surrounded at Sedan, and compelled to
capitulate. Napoleon surrendered himself
personally to King William, who has as
signed him residence in one of the Ger.
man fortresses.
Upon the fall of the Emperor the Re.
public was proclaimed in France, with Gen.
Trochu at its head. This appears to have
been accomplished without disorder, ard is
accepted by foreign powers as the legitimate
government of France. Jules Fare, the
Minister of the Republic, has asked recog-
milton by the United States, and the ex-
pectation is that it will be granted. But
the downfall of Napoleon is not the end of
fighting. The Prussians are still marching
Oh Paris in strong force, and the new gov
eminent is mastering new armies, and
strengthening defenses for a determined
resistance. Although in great straits for
supplies, Baziene still stubbornly holds out
at Metz, aud the latest news is bloody re-
pulse of the Prussians at Montmedy,
in an attempt to carry the place
by assault. Unless by intervention
Of foreign powers, peace seems
as remote as before. Prussia wars not
against the people, but the perfdious ruler
of France. The tyrant is her captive, but
still the war continues.
