The Last Steal.

A few Counties in Iowa, have been
unfortunate enough to elect thieveing
County Treasurers, who have ran
away with the public funds,and now
comes the representatives from
those Counties and asks the Legisla-
ture to refund the amounts and thus
shield the principals and their secu-
rites from their due penalties.
We thought tho sublimity of bras
sy impudencc had been reached
when the Railroad Bond Counties
appealed to the State and plead the
baby act by asking the public to as.
sumo their debts foolishly and inju.
diciously incurred, but this last do
mand convinces us that in the fine
art OF getting something tor nothing
vulgarly called stealing, there are
gradations as well as in everything
else, and Judging from these preposter
GUS claims,set up in the Legislature, we
should say that that fine art was
just in its infancy.
In the good time coming, the State
will be called on topay fines imposed
in our Police Courts, and then Capt.
Swiggctto's occupation will be gone
and the fcloEious goose will assume
u toploftical altitude.

reported that the State House appro-

of the most cardid champions Of the

however, were made IN a tone and
manner which indicated that he was
not altogether free from misgivings
on the subject. This beautiful spring

War.

The neck and heavenly minded
Indians whom we hear SO much about
in such lachrymoso and namby PAM
by winnings from Bro. Collycr; the
bald headed Quakers; the copper
head Philanthropists, and all the
Indian Ring Thieves, who see in the
death ofan Indian but one less victim
to swindle on fire water and pinch
beck jewelry, arc again on the war
path. The government rations
which they have filled their own and
their ponies bellies with, during the
past winter, enables them to com
meneo tho spring campaign early
and vigorously, as We judge from
the Cheycnne Daily Leader, which
comes to us from Winny Prugh,
full of accounts Of br utal murders
aud scalpings of whitc people all
ever tho Territory OF Colorado.
Gov. Campbell, of that Territory,
is organizing the militia in self do
fence, and ono Of these days the red
devils will DO "struck hard" unless
we are mistaken in tho gallant ex.
older who has tho honor to be
Governor ofthat Territory.
And when the striking does come
OIL, look out a..ain for u prolonged
waillng concert, from the aforesaid
worthless, aided in the bass parts by
the vitupcrativc footing Of the Cop,
perhead press who arc only too glad
to get an opportunity to assail the
men who rode rough shod over them
at Atlanta, Shenandoah and Five
, Forks.

For Congress.

The Pella Blade has q long artic le
in favor of the nomination Of Elk.
Gov. Stone for Congress from this
district. We entertain the highest
esteem for Gov. Stone as a citizen
and also Us a public servant, but we
at the same time doubt the propriety
Of giving him the place SO well filled
by Hon. VIM. Loughridge.
Mr.. Loughridge is now filling his
second term in Congress. He has
already won the confidence and es-
TEEN OF Senators and Representa-
lives, and hence he wiclds a large
influence in matters of legislation
He is good man and true, aud is in
shape, il continued in Office, to do
good service for his district and also
for the country at large; wc should
therefore hesitate to exchange him
for any new man. 1t would require
at least two terms before any other
man could bo prepared TO do as good
work as we may expect from Mr..
Loughridge. We believe that schools
could advance much faster by retain
ing tho samo instructor for several
terms; and the same rule applies
with far greater force in the matter
Of selecting Congressman. BY all
means let us have our old member
another year. Centervillc Loyal

as their tool in buying up votes; that
he came forward at once, that he
entered Immediately and lively into

measure introduced him to Haycock
and others; snd that upon the deno,t-
ment Of his mercenary operations, he
fled from tho Capitol, while tho man.
ager of the affair, who telegraphcd
for Henry, vamosed to Washington,
and out Of all this cumulative Cir
cumstantial, aud positive evidence,

While some Generals in tho late war
wore quarrelling for advancement, at
the sacrifice of the public interest,
General Thomaa4~was ii the field

Last Monday Hon. William Lough-
ridge fyour District introduced tho
following bill providing for the pay
ment OF pensions in gold. 1t passed
the second reading, and was referred
to the Committee on Invalid PEN
sions:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and
House Of Representatives OF the Uni
ted States of America in Congress
assembled, that all pens;ans accruing
and becoming payable to pensioners
Of the United States afterthe passage
of this act, shall be paid in gold coin
of the United States"
MIR. 1oughridge is using his infu-
ence in behalf Of this just measure,
and it is to be hoped that the House
OF Representatives will not, through
a mistaken idea of economy, succeed
in defeating his efforts. When tho
Nation was in peril it was not for.
gotten by the boys in blue. Lot us
not in our hours Of triumph, forget
