FEELS BAD.

The State Register in its issue OF the
Goth. has over two columns OF unml''st
ted SWIVEL over the defeat Of one OF It's pro-
pretors, Mr.. Mills, in the contest for the
State Partnership. 1t assumes to tell how
Mr. Mills, or rather "the Register as 1t
has it, was ''scooped," and who did it. 1t
ebsolves all outside parties from blame III
the matter, and thrusts the dreful RESPONSE
hity upon certain prominent citizens OF
Des Moines, among whom are the repre-
sentatiyes Of Po,k county in the LeglSla-
ture, aud all of whom it asserts have re-
ceiyed friendship, substantial aid, profound
aopreciaiion, and teeming columns OF
"sind words from 'the Register through
good and evil report, and are therefore gull
T. of the basest ilxralitude in choking 1t
Of from the public teat. We are nc!ined
% take the Register view, that those who
knew it best aud could most easily get at
its springs Of action, the people of It's own
town and county, were the most active in
securing the defeat Of its aspirations TO
further feed from the hesh-pois of State
patronage, and cannot but admire the lnno-
cent candor which proclaims it. We APP
nrehend also, that the 'kiud words alnded
70, with which the Register is used to be-
slo5ber al! who have the power to further
its interests, have much to do with the de-
fea, OF Mr.. Mills. Sycophancy, "crooklHg
Of the pregnant hinges Of the knee, that
thrift may follow fawning," is not admired
by honorable men even though they them
selves be the recipients Of it, and it is qal;e
possible that in the case of the gentlemen
of Des Moines to whom the Register at
tributes it overthrow, i: has Piled the sick
ening dose even to the point of nauseatlon.
The tendency of the Register to go into
sDaslns Of adulation toward legislators,
county officers or anybody who can give
Mills & Co.'S Job Office Or Binlery lift,
has become second nature with it. Even
IL The article in which it sells out TO casti-
gaze tie men who accomplished Mr.. Mills
defeat for State Printer, it sugar-coats with
r,np liments the missiles which it hurls at
.Aem, the compliments however, becoming
lcss frequent as the Register travels down
% scale of influence and position. 1t
roars, but like Bottom, "as gently as any
s.cking dove" Papers published at the
capital Of State, and dependent upon
State patronage and the caprice of State
,Eicials, do not usually amount to mach as
opponents of public opinion or correctors of
public abuses, and truth compels US to say
that our Des Moines contemporary Is no ex-
ccp,ion to the rule.
Upon no other hypothesis than the demon
Aviation bred of continued scramble for
or the leaves and fishes of official favor,
can the mixture of querulous whining and
opsequious scolding which found place in
.he Register of the date named be ac-
counted for. The assumption that the peo-
pie Of the State will shed tears over its dis
c9miiure, except hilarious ones at its lugu-
h,ous repiuings, is preposterous.

SUPKE ME JCDCE,

Gov. Merrill! has filled the place on the
Supreme bench made vacant by the resig-
nation of Judge Dillon, by the appointment
Of Hon. Elias II. Williams. Of Clayton Co.
While we deem the probabilities agaii st
the acceptance of the position By
Judge Williams, we nevertheless feel like
coueratula,ing the Governor upon the choice
he has made. There is certainly no man
in the north part Of the State, and we doubt
if there is in the whole State, upon whose
shoulders the judicial mantle could fall with
more appropriateness and fitness, than upon
those of Judge Williams. A scholar of dis
tinguished attachments, jnrist of acknowl-
edged powers, and a man of exceptional
firmness and integrity of character, if
he can be induced to forego his,
of late years, often expressed reluctance to
official position ard to accept this appoint
ment he will give the people of the State
no occasion to contrast him unfavorably
with his brilliant predecessor. The State
Register gives the following brief. biography
of Judge Williams:
Elias II. Williams, was born in Groton,
Connecticut, in 1919. Was student at
Yale, and graduated from that institution
in 1874 at the head of his class. Early ma
king the determination to be a lawyer, he
began his education in that profession at
once. lie read law and began his career
with the Hon. Lafayette S. Foster. at Nor
wich, in the State mentioned. From there
be went to South Carolina, and stayed there
years. He left the South a radical aboli
zionist, and ever he's since been in the front
ranks of political progress. Coming to To-
wa in l947, he settled at Garnavillo, Clay
ton county, where he opened farm, and
practiced law. Continuing in his profess
ion he rapidly acquired an extensive prac-
tce and fine reputation. He was twice
elected County Judge. and served eight
years on the district bench, with distinction
and to very general acceptance. He now
lives on his farm near Clermont, and cult
Yates the soil extensively, having nearly
three thousand acres under cultivation.

ne Legislature has settled down to the Sc
Gous business of the session. The body is

ready, some Of which, as that relative to
railroads, appropriations, change in the
system of county government, the railroad
'band question, &C., will be watched with
Intense interest by the people Of the State.
The railroad question promises to be the
prominent one Of the session. Petitions
from every part of the State are already
lowing in, asking that railroad property be
faxed as the property Of individuals is tax
cd, and in the House a resolution to that
eject by Mahin, of Muscatine, has been re.

decisive vote. The Legislature cannot fail
to perceive the drift Of popular sentiment
upon this subject, and there is strong
probability, despite the railroad lobby which
is described as already on the ground in
formidable force, that such action will be
taken as will compel these corporations to
bear their equal share Of the burden of tax
alton.

THE CAUSE OF DEFEAT.

The DEBORAH Republican, the editor Of
which was in Des Moines during the Sena.
;orial contest, and which withal, is not usu-
ally given to severe personal criticism, thus
plainly frees its mind in regard to one OF
tho canses which led to the dsfeat of the
North in said contest:
'.We could analyze the causes which
c-adncsd the result. if it were worth while
~ DO so. We shall name only one-the
iG1lish vanity and AalteIed weakness OF
governor Merrill, which alc wed him TO be
tool CT crafty politicians. The object
ah;ch they sought 1.-THE division of the
North, and the passive position of the
Governor) WAS secured by their cunning !;
= ID NOW that the contest Is ended, the ma
lie 20 sense of Mr.. Merrill will show
Ia better than words of ours ca,i, that he
ma injured the tren Is who elevated him to
I.2 yer, in manner not consistent with
common gratitude, or even ordinary polite
Al reciprocity. He shout have been ior
lie e,.l:e of his friends the active support
rrgf their wishes, instead Of the instrument
II ias opponents. And the difference be-
facu tie Two POSITIONS COHI nave pTouuc-
I'd :. different result. We say this with sor-
r.y, for we respect Governor Merrill; but
It il q truth which il would be improper TO
rapress.
1t WAS the conviction Of oil Of those who
aave proven themselves the best friends OF
Governor Merrill, that his position in the
,a'a contest was one unworthy of his good
sea.se or sagacity. During no phase of the
zane has he had the ghost Of chance for
tie Sena.orship, nor was the opportunity
..gorable for the making of prestige or cap
val which might serve him in future. He
bas simply been the unwilling dupe OF a set
Of saLemers, who have not scrnpled to use
bis candidacy and similar indirections to se-
oarc the success Of Judge Wright, and who
~, now b'a,an,ly proclaiming that gentle
,aan's election as, par excellence, the voice

..ih in Governor Merrill's integrity and
o,a intentions is not one whit abated, but
", in common with our brethren of the Re-
pa5lican press of the 3D. District especially,
,.y. earned the right to comment without

Mr.. STANTON AND Mn. LINCOLN
The death of the late war secretary
brings out many interesting reminis
cences of the war times; Of which
these two, relating to Mr. Stanton's
hold on MIR. Lincoln, are quite me-
morable -
On the night of March 5. 1865,
while tbs last bills of the session were
under examination for signing, and
while the president and all with him
were enjoying the expectation Of to-
morrow's Inauguration, a dispatch
came in from Grant which stated his
confidence that few days must now
end the business with Lee and Rich
mond, and spoke of an application
made by Lee for an interview to ne
gointe about peace. Mr.. Lincoln in
timated pretty clearly an intention
to permit extremely favorable terms,
and to let his general-in chief negc-
tate them; even to an extent that
overpowered the reticent habits Of
his secretary of war, who, after hold
ing bis tongue as long as he could,
broke out sternly:
"Mr. President, tomorrow is in
auguration day. lfyou are not to
be the president of an obedient and
united people, you had better not be
inaugurated. Your work is already
done, if any olher authority than
yours is for one moment to be recog-
nized, or any terms made that do
not signify that you are the supreme
cad of the nation. If generals in the
field are to negotiate peace, or any
other chief magistrate is to be ac-
knowledged on the continent, then
YOU are not needed, and YOU had
better net take the cath Of Office.
"Stanton, you are right" said the
president his whole tone changing.
"Let me have pen"
Mr.. Lincoln sat down ut the table
aud wrote as follows: "The presi-
dent directs me to say to you that he
wishes you to have no conference
with Gen. Lee, unless it be for the
of Lees army, or on
some minor or purely military mat
ter. lie insiructs me to say that you
are not to decide, discuss, or confer
on any political question such ques-
tons the president holds in his own
hands, and will submit them to no
conference or convention.
In the meantime you are to press to
the utmost your military advanta-
gcs."
The president then read over what
he had written, and then said: "Now,
Stanton. date and sign this paper
and send it to Grant. Wen see
about this peace business"
Only few days before bis death
Mr.. Lincoln gave still more striking
testimony of his faith in and affec-
ton for Mr.. Stanton. This was when
Mr.. Stanton rendered him his re.
signation Of the war department, on
the ground that the work for whose
sake he had taken it was now done.
Mr.. Lincoln, says witness, was
greatly moved by the secretary's
words, and tearing in pieces the pa
per containing the resignation and
throwing his arms about the secretary,
he said, "Stanton, you have been a |
good friend and faithful public
and it is not for you to say
when you will no longer be needed
here" Several friends of both parties
we're present on this occasion, and
here was not dry eye that witnessed
he scene.

Old Sam Murdock, Of Clayton county,
with all his solid qualities is also wag Of
the first water, and will doubtless during
,he present session OF the Legislature many
a time aud of, set the House in a roar by
hs quaint dro!leries. In the House, the
other day. he got Of the following good
thing on Mills, of Dubuque, who, as many
of our readers are aware, is a somewhat All
tiquated specimen Of the superlati,ely eiab,
crate order handed down to us from the age
of the Virgin Queen. The debate was up
on the proposition of Irish, of Johnson, to
amend the State Constitution in such man
ner as to allow women to vote. Mr.. Mills
said
"Now sir, we are few in number, but
there is one question you will always find Il
Democrat sound-on the question of the la
dies. We will stand by them, let them lead
us where they t.ill-where they march We
viii follow"
To which Old Sam, when he got the floor,
responded as follows:
81 DO not desire to make speech upon
tbs question, but simply 10 endorse my
friend from Dubuque, (Mr. Mllls.) l have
known him we'll; perhaps longer than any
other man in the House; and | know that
he is one of the most gallant men in The
State of Iowa. and wher he says that he is
willing to follow women wherever they go,
l know he tells the truth. Laughter. He
can prove this by me any time he wants to. !"

administration of its affairs. We have be-
slowed but a cursory glance at its contents,
and are not able to judge of how we'll the
author has performed his allotted task, but
on its very first page we find the following
which affords food for suggestive thought
for Iowa readers especially at time when
an OPPORTUNITY is offered our law givers to
remedy the "certain little defects" in our
State government;
"Trade nov dominates the world, and
railways dominate trade" says the author
of the first "Chapter of Erie ard, accept
ing this hypothesis as correct, it follows that
the men who dominate railways, dominate
pretty nearly all that is worth dominating
in TITS mundane sphere. There are coun-
tries where railroad presidents and directors
are held subject to the laws of governments,
which are jealous governments ard will not
tolerate the worship Of any other powers but
their own; but here, owing to certain little
defects in 'the best government the world
ever saw" railway rule is becoming strong
er every day, and; in default Of check, will
soon be paramount.
