We were among those present yesterday
fat meeting held by the faculty and the
students Of the Dolbear Commercial College,
called for the purpose Of expressing, by
speeches and resolutions, sympathy at the
irreparable loss which our common country
has sustained in the death Of General Lee.
The students, the great majority of whom
arc of Southern birth, were, as we judged
from the gloomy look they wore, bowed
down with grief at the great sorrow that
has come over our people; and we noticed
many youthful eye moistened with tears.
After the students, to the number. Of about
one hundred, had assembled, the meeting
was called to order by Prof. f. B. Mum,
Mr., Jackson eagle acting as Secretary.
Prof. Dolbear, in some appropriate and
happily conceived remarks, explained the
object Of the meeting, and offered the fol-
lowing resolutions: " s'7aH
| Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God
to take from among us one of the noblest
and best of our citizens, and it is the duty
ofa1l honorable men. to pay a tribute TO the
memory of the great and the good; i,s.,af,
Be it resolved by, the Faculty and Stu
with profound regret of the death of that
matchless hero, spotless patriot, model eiti-
zen and devoted Christian, Gen. Robert l..
Lee, late President of Washington College,
Virginia, by whose death the country has
lost its brightest beacon light, our youth
their purest guide, science its noblest devo-
tee, and mankind its most loved friend.

THE FACTS ABOUT GERMAN VANDALISM

The Whig and Register finds fault with
the manner in which the Germans have
carried on the war. In the first place, the
best answer to all these charges of vandal-
ism is, that they come from French sources,
and like their bulletins of the war, are
false The testimony of disinterested wri-
ters has been that the German soldiers
have been kept under the strictest disci-
pline, and have done as little plunderng
as any invading army ever known. Mr..
Halstead, in some of his letters To the Gin
cinnati Commercial, has declared that he
saw hundreds of regiments marching
through the cities of France, and not a
struggling soldier or plundering follower
was to be seen. This has been the testi-
mony of other American correspondents.
When we remember that this cruel war was
forced upon King William by the perfidy
and intermeddling of France that Ger
many was cruelty devastated and oppress-
ed by the soldiers of the first Napoleon i'm
1S13-14, and that the armies of the German
powers now in France marched over her
boundaries to avenge the wrongs of long
years, we may well wonder that France
has not suffered more than in fact she has.
But what are the facts as to the special
cases cited by our contempOrary-th de-
struction of st. Cloud. The valuable
works of art were all removed before it
was destroyed and then it was destroyed
not by the Germans, but 6y the French
These are the facts, and If our neighbor can
make anything out of them preiudicial to
the Germans, it will be because il hates
them even worse than the French them
selves do. Our contemporary seems very
willing to take up every wild French re-
port of German Outrages and gives it cir
culation and credit, all of which proves
that it is n very bitter enemy of the Ger
mans, and not disposed to treat them even

THE NoRTH-GERMAN CONFEDERATION

There have been very radical changes in
The Government of Prussia and the North
German states since the great Bohemian
war which ended in the complete over
throw of the Austrian armies. There is
very great msapprehension existing
among even intelligent people as to the
Government of which King William is the
official head. We have heard much about
his tyranny about the strong personal
Government over which he presides, and
its arbitrary laws. The facts are, that the
North-German Confederation is anything
but personal Government, aynthing but
inquisitorial or arbitrary in It's character.
Prussia, which is the leading State, has
even lost something of the distinctive fea-
lures of her former Government. Her
King, i'll the unfication of the Nurth-tier
man States, has lost something of his for
Iner personal power, and his people gained
much in the direction of liberal govern
ment. His powers now are not much
greater than those of our President. He
declares war, makes peace, signs treaties,
assemblies Parliament, commands the army
and navy, nominates his own Ministry
and appoints the principal civil officers of
the Government He has no more abso-
lutte powers than our Governor or our
President. He cannot suppress the free
dom of the press disperse public assem-
blages, summarily arrest or imprison his
personal or political opponents, or trample
upon the private personal rights of his
meanest subject any more than can our
Chief Executive Every German is equal
before the law, and has his rights defined
and respected
The Parliament is divided into two
houses, as is our Congress. In the Senate,
or Upper House, each of the States are
represented. Prussia, with her twenty
five millions, has but seventeen votes;
while the other States, with but five mil
lions, have twenty-siX votes. The Confed-
Grafton in this respect is therefore not " the
creature of Prussian AMBITION The
Lower House is composed of members
elected upon n popular apportionment, re-
gulating the election of our members of
Congress
This Parliament has powers in many
respects similar to our Congress. 1t con-
trolls the assessment of taxes and the dis
bursements of the revenues. \ noted con-
fiict between the Parliament and the King
is probably remembered by many of our
readers. The Parliament was adjourned
five times because it would not sanction an
act of the King appropriating a specific
public fund for paying war expenses. The
controversy was finally ended by COM
promise, by which bill of indemnity was
passed.
That the Confederation is pOpulaF Is
evidenced by the fact that Baden, Bavaria
and Wurtemburg all now clamor for adj
mittance. The German people themselves
are too intelligent and liberal in their SEN
timents to yield any of the popular rights
they now enjoy, and the tendency of re-
cent developments is to make the Confcd-
Grafton still more liberal and popular We
have heard so much from the Democratic
press about the great power and tyranny
of Bismarck and his King that the facts
are instructive.

IOWA.

iowa is one of the truest and staunchest
Republican States in the Union. She has
never faltered nor never Jagged behind in
the rapid strides made by the Republican
party towards prosperity and good govern
ment. She has always been with the van
guard. At the late election the entire Re
publican delegation to Congress was elect
ed. The total Republican majority in the
State was about 40, 600. There are only
four Democratic counties in the State
The counties of Clay, Cherokee, and
O'Brien did not poll a solitary Democratic
vote in the late election, and the county of
WinnebagO cast only single vote for that
party.
In the last ten years, during which time
the State has been under Republican rule
all the time, the population of the State
has increased about fifty per cent. There
is no State in the Union where the people
enjoy, IN a higher degree, the blessings of
peace and general prosperity. There is no
State in the Union where we hear of less
crime than in Iowa. That State has no
public debt all her liabilities having been
discharged some time ago under the be-
nign influences of Republican admins
tration. The people of that glorious COM
mOnwellth can boast Of one of the best
regulated systems for the support of COM
mon schools to be met with anywhere.
There the offspring OF the industrious me
chanic and labOriug man mas the means of
securing liberal education, as well as the
offspring OF the rich nabob. There = no
country on earth where all men come
nearer enjoying equal rights than i'm Iowa.
she stands out prominently before the
world a living monument tO,and an unan-
sWcrable argument in favor Of, the princi-
pies of the Republican party.

A KnOxyillian Fighting Apache Indians in
Arizona.

Some one sends Us the Daily Alta cali
Jornid, in which n correspondent gives an
account of the Indian conflicts the al1ny
officers in Arizona have with the Apache
Indians.
Col Robert Morrow, of thi, city, Pay
master, [. ;. A., is particularly referred tn
and his experiences given.
The letter Is from Tucson, Arizona, Oc-
tober lst, and says that on "A trip from that
place to Camp Grant and the Pilno Viii
lagos, the Apaches had ambuscaded them,
but by some chance the Indians were foil
ed, because of reinforcements from Il Mexi-
can train near by coming to the rescue
At the time OF the attack Col Morrow
party consisted OF himself, his clerk, Mr.
Tllly, and citizen in the employ oI Me--Ts.
Lord * Williams, of Tucson Arizona.
Col Morrow Immediately halted his amhu-
lance, baggage wagon and escort wagon,
and with his party, aided by two citizens
who were travelling in their own convey
ancc-charged the Indians. The Meyicar-
in camp, hearing the firing, came prompt
ly up: those that had arms, eight or ten in
number, \ sharp fight cn>ued; the
Apaches making 4 partial stand, and then
rctreatng, firing and taking cover, jump
ing from bush TO bush. yelling like 80
many devils. Col. Morrow and the MeAi-
cans pursued them about TWO niltr, when
the Indians got under safe cows in the
mountains, after a pursuit of.s4early an
hour. The cavalry escort being mostly
mounted on wild mustangs were unable
to do effective service, as The bowling Of
the Indians made them, as well rs the
mule teams, almost unmanageablc.
The correspondent further says that AT
the time of the attack "Col. Morrow was
sick with the fever ,ealenturas) in his am
bulance, but when the fight was ended the
fever 1ods cTcd3' He further says, =" two
