The Fifth District.

Hon. John a. Kasson is looming
up as the prominent opponent of
Frank Palmer for Congress, from the
Fifth District. 1t looks to an out
slider as though such man as Kasson
would not stand q ghost of a chance
against Palmer. The Orwig and
Mills faction have already COM
menced the fight. With the popu-
larity which he has gained by the
passage of capitol appropriation bill
and the democratic aid he is invok-
ing, Kasson expects to pull heavy
on the congressional rope. Palmer
has given general satisfaction, by the
statesmaDlike course which he has
pursued since his term of Office COM

of humble parentage. She had few
advantages. She earned her living
as a sewing girl, and was thus EN-

her acquaintance. A mutual attach.
ment spraEg up between the parties
On Mr.. Netherlands side the attach
ment ripened into the deepest love,
which years of married life, aliena,
ton, desertion, and the terrible trag-
edy connected with the case, have
not cooled. Mr.. Mcfarland took the
young lady from her mental employ
ment, educated her, taught her elo-
cution, fitted her for the stage, and
developed in her those accomplish
ments which have brought forth such
bitter fruits. His domestic life was q
happy one, and there seemed no jar
or discord till the removal of the
parties TO New York.

Wendell Phillips has been satisfied

the gratitude they should feel to the
Almighty for His goodness i'm lifting
them from bondage, and enriching
them with the advantages they now
enjoy under the Fifteenth Amend
ment. They should remember, too,
the noble men who helped them to
their present elevation, especially
Iangston and Douglass; but, in par
iicular, there were four men who
should always be fresh in their men,
cries: Lincoln, the martyr Presi-
dent, who emancipated them, Grant,

the nation, VIM. Lloyd Garrison, the
great advocate of abolition; and,
finally, John Brown, the martyr of
their race. whose soul is still march,
ing on. He had, then, the pleasure
to say that slavery was dead from the
hour of the proclamation of enamel
patton, and Ulysses s. Grant had
perfected their enfranchisemeRt by
pressing the Fifteenth Amendment
through Congress. II was now an
accomplished fact, and they should
Zee that they made proper Use of their
power. A great future lay before
Them now, and his heart was rejoiced
that the grand object to which his
life had been devoted had been so
rapidly accomplished, and he invited
them again to thank the Lord for
His goodness toward them.

THE Congressional apportionment
bill which passed the House Satur-
day, provides that after March Sd,
1871, the House of Representatives
shall be composed of 275 members.
Members from the new States COM
ing in shall be additional to this
number. Any State whose repre-
sentation shall be decreased by the
new apportionment, shall not be af-
fected thereby in the Forty.second
Congress. Any State entitled to ad-
ditional representation shall send
them as Members Large to the
Forty~second Congress. Afterwards
the number is to be cut down to 275
by leaving out the surplus of MEM
bers from States not entitled to adj
ditional representation under the
new apportionment.

THE New York Tribune publishes
an estimate of the new apportion-
ment of representation i'm various
States, according to which. the
number of the members of the
House were increased, as proposed by
the House bill, from PAL to 275, none
of the States would lose any of their
members, except Vermont, Rhode
Island and Kentucky, which loses
one each. The estimate is, we think
too low, by one or two hundred
thousand on most of the Northwest
ern States, bringing the total down
to 3S, $40, 900, instead of 10000, 900,
usually estimated. If it be correct
in the main, and especially if New
York, as estimated, gains two new
members of Congress, New Jersey
one, and Pennsylvania one, we see
no reason why the Eastern men,
bers generally, and Senator Conkling,
In particular, should have de-
feated the Western proposition for a
prompt reapportionment of mem-
bers as soon as the census is taken
The other estimated changes are

FRUIT PROSPECTS IN SOUTHERN
ILLINoIs.-The Centralia Sentinel OF
the l4th inst. has the following con-
corning the fruit prospects at that
time. AS there has since been cold
and severe storm we fear that like
good accounts could not now be
given:
The prospect for a fine peach crop
was never more cheering than now.
The peach trees are just opening their
bloom, which is abundant, and pears
and cherries will open this week.
There is yet some danger to be appre.
hended from late frosts, but the
promise of good fruit crop, at this
season, was never better, and we will
hope that ii will escape danger from
now on. Extensive preparations are
being made to give the eurculio a
nice little fight, and if it is main
tanned vigorously this season, the
work will be much lighter another
wear.

THE GAZETTE.
CEDAR FALLS, APRIL 90, 1870.


The appropriation of $15,000 for n
soldiers reunion at Des MoiLes in
Sept. next, does not meet with that
endorsement throughout the State
that the friends of the movement an
ticfpated, nor with the enthusiasm
necessary for its success. Though
many will not express an opinion
against IT, because of the claim set
up. that it is duty due the soldiers of
our State, the large majority, we be-
lieve who look at the matter practice
ally, will pronounce it consummate
humbsg, for such il really Is. $15,-
900 of the public money of the State
appropriated for what? Who knows?
A big thing for Des Moines and few
shoulder strap gentry Of the State,
but what possible benefit will it be to
the masses of the soldiers. AS
claimed by the Dubuque Herald, 1t
may be the occasion of "big drunk"
but that luxury would not be particle
pated i'm by all. 1t was claimed at
Des Moines when the measure was
being forced through the Legislature
that Iowa had never done anything
for her soldiers like other States.
Are there not over 100000 appropri-
ated every year for the soldiers or
phans? Far he il from justice or rea-
son, that the claim should be set up.
that Iowa is not doing anything for
her soldiers. In connection with
this question to be taken into ac-
count, is the fact, that a third of the
soldiers in Iowa to day are from other
States, and while they have no bene.
fit (if such it be- from the appropria-
ton they are compelled to pay their
proportion of the tax to make up this
amount thus foolishly squandered.

ment on the part ofethe Legislature,

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa,
,ril o. 1QTn

ApElt @of iotVs
My DEAR SNYDER You place al
together too high an estimate upon
my weak efforts in behalf Of woman
suffrage, when you refer to me as the
leader of the suffrage movement in
Iowa. While 1 must emphatically
disclaim the responsibility and fact
of such a position, yet would as
emphatically declare my most earnest
and anxious desire for the triumph Of
that great principle of the Declare
ton of Independence-the political
equality Of all citizens, whether male
or female, high or low, rich or poor,
Jew or Gentle.
The leader in the movement for
equal rights which is sweeping like q
whirlwind through our land, is no
less than the same Captain and Guide
whose Almighty Power led the Pill
grims to Plymouth Rock. wrenched
our patton from the hands of tyrants,
scourged us with the whips of ter
rible war, because of our manifold
transgressions, and so lately drew
from our reluctant lips that black
men are entitled to the right of self.
government as undeniably and un-
qualifiedly as white men. This AL
mighty leadership, which never fails,
and which will bring about our ac-
acknowledgement of the principle of
equal rights, as surely as the King Of
Kings shall continue to cause right
to triumph over might.
/ do not propose, friend Snyder, to
enter into a controversy with you up
on this subject, especially as you inn
pliedly declare your purpose not to
oppose the movement for equal
rights; but since the negative only of
this question seems to have been dis
cussed to any extent at Cedar Falls,
it certainly would be only fair that a
word be spoken on the Affirmative. 1
hope therefore to be able to give a
lecture in your city at an early day.
/ am especially desrious that the
thorghyd people of your city (whom
you declare to be opposed to woman
suffrage should hear the other side,
for it is far easier to convince the
judgments than do away with preju-
dices of mankind.
Very Cordially Yours,
J. l.. LOOMS.

WHO believes it? 1t is reported In
the foreign papers that the London
ers are astonished by the discovery
that much of their butter is made
from the mud of the Thames. A
small proprietor on the bank of the
noble river, was thunderstruck by
the apparent extravaganza of an of
fer for his wharf, and on investiga-
ton learned that il was wanted for a
site for q butter factory. The
Thames mud yields, after some
chemical process, pure white, lack
ing both taste and smell, and after
some manipulation, is made into a
very popular article OF food. The
Globe suggests that butter pats
should hereafter be stamped with a
likeness of Father Thames, as well
as that of q cow.-Dubu9ue Times.

A WOMAN, whose name we were
unable to learn, jumped off the
steamer McPike, four miles below
Burlington, on her last trip down,
and was drowned before assistance
could reach her, although every eff
fort was made by the officers of the
boat. She was on her way, with two
to Hannibal. Mo-, where
she expected to join her husband. 1t
is supposed that she was suddenly
seized with q fit of insanity, as no
one OH the boat had noticed any thing
strange in her appearance or actions,

the rash act was seeing her jump

on to their destination, there to reach

THE Augusta Journal says that
the Messrs. Mason, Hamlin & Co., of
that city, have received note from
one of the Board of Trade i'm Bangor,
saying that the determination of
'drummers" from that city has
proved a success. Traders are not
now pestered by them and are enabl-
ed to reduce their stock. The large
merchants of Boston have recon-
mended to Augusta traders to dis
countenance the system.
Thus it seems the good time is
coming when this curse to our coun-

THE Rev. o. ID. rockingham,
who, with Henry Ward Beecher, Of
ficiated In the Richardson McFar-
land marriage, preached peculiar
sermon the other Sunday concerning
the marriage relation. He is report
ed to have said: 1.-THE laws of mat
rimony should be so remodeled that
husband and wife could not be jeal-
Gus of one another--so that the bond
should not be merely legal one but
that a condition of marriage should
be permission to act as he or she
thought proper, and ut the dictates
of the feelings and affections. -

sponsibilities would be very popular
among the Mormons and Oneida
