IT seems TO be the unanimous

have Il Press excursion this year
perhaps Immediately following the
Convention IN June at MarsGaiItUwn

Tie convention proper ALSO promises
to Ge q good time. Besides the bust
ness to he Transacted, there will be
the usual literary exercises. The
annual address it Is ROW hoped, will
be delivered Ivy Vice President Col.

Nj. Pleasant JOHcndt, has been in.
vited TO deliver n lecture on what he
knows about the Best Method Of

will accept Of course, and that will
be q lecture good and all alive; and
that brilliant boy, J. l.. MCCreary of

Iowa Press, il being pressed for one
Of his poems, and it is to be hoped,
will comply gracefully, so, it will
be seen, the prospect Is fine for a

Candidates.

The candidates for Governor d.

nor increase. The contest for the
former Office has settled down into 3
triangular fight between Col. Car
renter, Maj. O'Conuor and Col. Scott
The Sixth District, as it now appears,
will go into the Convention with two
candidates. This we regret. We
had hoped the sixth might he united
or one man, that there might I've no
possibility Of dividing our strength
ard by that means cheat us OF what
we justly ella m~-t,He next Gov ernor
of Iowa. We Concede the right OF
any one to he Governor, who can
but since the expression has been 50
universally in favor Of Col. Carpen-
ter, we think it would he wisdUm, at
least, for Col. Scott to withdraw his
name from the c0Dvass. The Colonel

friends to vote against him, aud at
The same time defeat a good man.
The candidates Tor the Lieutenant
office were still multiplying when
last heard from. The prominent
ones thus far, are Senator Bennett,
"f Washington county; Col. Milo
Smith, Of Clinton; Sam. clark, o.
the kCokuk cute CUy; General
Leak of Scott county, and Col. Gar.
rett, Of Jasper coHnty. More are in
prospect, but OF these even, there
will be no lack of material.
There seems to be no rompation for
Judge Days portion on the Supreme
Bench.
The office of Supt. Of Public In.
struction promises 10 bring on n
sharp contest, as there is an evidont
intention TO place some man in that
office who can do more efficient work
for the school interests of the State
than Mr. KisselI.

an excellent man. Prof. Sutton. of

he has not been directly identified
with the educational intcregls of the

would not seem TO be just in accord,

Having noticed in your last issue
the call for the Republican State
Convention, accompanied by an edi~
tOTtal giving the names Of several
gentlemen ~ candidates for the nom.
ination for Governor, my name
among others, am led 10 to consider
this the most fitting and proper time
TO make an announcement / have
mad in contemplation for some time.
Through the persuasion of friCnda,
and the unjust attacks OF few ene~
mics, | had almost concluded 10 all
low my name To be used i'm that con-
nection; but owing TO the pressure
of my private business, I have, on
mature reflection although my pros
poets of success, judging from the
many and hearty assurances received
from friends in all parts of the State,
are such a. should consider fiatter-
ing-concluded TO deny myself the
honor of having my name presented
10 the State Convention. There are
others, and perhaps better men,
more anxious to secure the position
than ! am, either OF whom would fiji
the place with honor to himself and
satisfaction TO the peorle. Ever
grateful 10 the Republican party of
iowa for fav0rs aud hUnOIs received
from its hands ia the past, and re.
turning my most sincere thanks to

A SEQUENCE.


If the Ku-Klux are Radicals in disguise,
as the Democrats declare them to be, why
does the Democracy make such fearful
outcry against the suppression OF this
mystic midnight disorder? It strikes us
that this question presents the unterrifed
in very equivocal position; and little
reflection will show them how widely their
declarations and their actions disagree.
First, they admit that the Ku-Klux out
rages are making capital for the Repub-
Leans in the North. Second, they declare
that these Ku-Klux are Radicals in dis
guise, and that they are making capital
against the Democrats. Third, they vehe-
mently oppose the President when he pro-
poses to stop these Radicals from making
Radical capital. The sequence to these
three propositions is plainly evident to
any party with good sense and common
honesty. Is it not? Then, what must be
thought if this inconsistency is allowed to
continue? What other conclusion can .
rational man come to than that the DEM
ocrnts, who set up such shallow assertions,
are either dishonest or ignorant And i
men will persist in convicting themselves
of either one of these qualities, what use
are they to the honest or sensible portion
of the public.

WEATHER WISE.

There must be q feeling of uneasiness
somewhere about something. It is very
evident that certain parties are dissatisfied,
in fact, that they are distressed. If
rheumatism is any sign, there is change
of weather ahead, and the twinges are
acute enough to suggest that probably
storm might fall out II the clouds in this
latitude. When that ill-omened bird, the
stormy petrol, futters enid the shrouds,s
and worst of all, when it falls on deck, let
those who are afraid Of the tempest go
down below. None but sailors who have
stood by while the dead eyss shook in the
solid oak, have any business on deck
when the ship trembles under the uprising

ERRORS OF Law.

Our experiences in the matter of bank
ruptcv are not so full and complete as
they might be if it had been part Of our
education to 60 through the formula; but
from rubbing against intelligent citizens
who have experimental in that line OF
business, we feel fortified in saying that
a claim which has never been put upon
the tableau will not be wiped out by the
certificate of the registrar. So we con-
tend that when the people limited
their Indebtedness, they did not
intend to destroy honest claims
which they had previously re-
cognized. Their design was not to de-
fraud honest creditors, but to protect
themselves from improvident debts in the
future. The limit is fixed, and the discus
sion of that point is at present engaging
the attention of the courts at the instiga-
ton of Republican officials. The payment
of taxes has nothing to do with the debts
that have been controverted, but must
be discussed solely with reference to the
two questions whether we intend to pay
the debts we say we owe, and whether we
are to maintain government, or do we
intend to resolve ourselves into an ig-
norant mass? We are prepared for any
answer.
The Times insists that the payment Of
taxes shall be resisted for the purpose OF
defeating the ends of State government.
We insist that this is stupid suggestion,
if it is not something worse, simply be.
cause the government of the State belongs
to the people, and while they call upon il
for protection through its judicial agen
cies, they have no right to deny theil
liability for its expenses. He would be {
Aippant man, indeed, who would insist OF
being acquitted of his honest debts by
court of bankruptcy whose legal exist
ence he denied. We ask the Times if h
would not :? Is there any ''fippant ant
contemptuous scorn" in these 'interrog
atories
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-03-31
AT IT AGAIN.

In our usual ''style Of contemptuous
and flippant scorn," we again arise to in
sist that the payment of taxes is matter
that the people had better settle with
out the Intervention of q law suit, no mat
ter how often or how tragically the invi-
tation may be extended to them not to do
so. It is happy memory with us that
Hampden resisted the illegal and arbi-
trary proceedings of Charles l., but if we
have not unwisely forgotten our lessons
on that subject, Hampden had the Legis-
lature with him in spirit on that occasion,
whereas his modern imitator (the New Or
leans 1rmes) has the law-making power
AGAINST him. Both the Democrats and the
Rauublicans in the louisiana Legislature
sustained the tax law, and the question now
is notas to the power to levy the assessment,
but as to the propriety of its investment.
This il before the courts, and it will be
seen by reference to the rulings Of the
Judge of the Eighth District Court that
even this delicate point is in a mir way to
be settled to the satisfaction of the people.
An appropriation Of ffty thousand dol
lars has been arrested for, the present
which leaves that amount Of taxes unex
pended. u the system Of mprope'

MISTAKE.

One of the news paragraphs in circula-
ton states that forty or fifty Americans
lost their lives in defending France against
the Germans. We must beg leave to utter
our disbelief in this statement There
may have been such number of men
killed who claimed to be Americana,
but the chances are very great that if the
entire truth were known it would be found
that these men were of that class who got
themselves naturalized in this country in
order to claim American protection in
their bilking transactions in other coun-
tries. There is vast horde Of men
wandering up and down in all Spanish
American countries, living by their wits,
who pretend to be anything that is popu-
lar until they are picked up at some OF
their tricks, and then they assume the
virtue of being Americans, and call upon
us to resent their well deserved injuries.
Of such, we affirm, was a great majority
of the men who were killed in France.
