A Deep Plot.

We are forced to the opinion that
there Is powerful political combina-
ton at work in this State to prevent
the people from independently choos-
ing successor to the Hon. James
Harlan in the United States Senate.
The wires are being carefully laid in
every part of Iowa, with the utmost
cunning, aud with the strongest hope
that, before the trickery is found out
by the people, men pledged against
Mr.. Harlan will be made candidates
Of the Republican party for the Leg
islaturc. BY this course 1t is hoped
to gain for tho Hon. William Is. Al.
lison, of Dububuc, majority vote in
the Senatorial contest.
Offices ana Official favors, if our
information IS not entirely wrong,
are being farmed out with cautious
liberality, and by this means the SER
vices Of adroit politicians are being
secured in every part Of the State,
The plan is to pack the primaries
and in township caucuses and in
County, Legislative and Senatorial
Conventions, the work OF defeating
the Hon. James Harlan is to be per.
formed by stealth-by the exercise
of political legsrdemain-and the
people arc to be made dupes, and
lett to find out, after it is too late,
that they were most grossly betrayed
by men in high places and aspiring
to great distinction in tho State and
in the Nation.
If Mr.. Allison were confident that
a majority Of the Republicans Of
Iowa favored the retirement OF Mr..
Harlan and his election to Mr.. Har-
lan's place he would have no need of
such policy as that VIC have indicated
above. Were he occupying strong
ground, and were he really man
woi thy of the high place to which he
aspires. he would not stoop to. nor
consent to be dragged into, such hn-
initiating intrigue with the scapc-
graces Of township politics.
The game two years ago was be-
gun too late. Now. every card is to
be played, and every device known
70 the shrcwd political gambler is
to be brought into pla, to win the
stakes.
1t the people Of Iowa arc to have
aword to say as to the election OF a

Cornell College Commencement.

Editor Tama County Republican -
Commencement at Cornell College
is over, and as the students and visi-
tors are departing tor their homes,
and quiet begins again to brood over
this beautiful towu, my own pulse,
quickened by the whirl and hustle OF
the week, relapses into its ustlal Sc
date movement, and I sit down to
think and write. Tama County has
furnished already more than a score
Of students for this college, and as
her population continues rapidly in
creasing, and her resources commune
developing, aud greater wealth be-
comes hers, we doubt not that the
number of students furnished by her
to Cornell will at least be proper.
tionately increased.
Commencement exercises began
with the college "Love Feast" held
in chapel Sabbath morning, June Is,
at 8 o'clock. The Bacculaureatc ser.
mon, delivered by the President,
Rev. VIM. F. King, from tho text !:

given for mere rhetorical effect. He
aims to- convince rather than over
power. We forget the man in ad-
miration OF his mastery Ct his subject.
As ho closed his discourse, he allud-

untimoly death Of N. H. Coleman, a
member of the senior class, and ex.

say it in their primaries. States ev-
erywherc are made up Tor Mr.. ALI
son, and these they must now
break or find that they have been
made tools Of when the question
comes lcgitimately to issue in the
Legislature.
Have nothing TO do with any man
who has in any way identified hum

we speak. Be careful that your del
egatcs are not the men the ring has
elected for You. BE careful that
your Senator or Representative is
not the man the ring has put up Tor
Your sutfrages. Remember in your
primaries that you are voting Tor a
United States Senator!
Whatever strength Mr.. Allison
has for he position to which he as.
pircs, and for which, he is now, per-
sonally and through his friends, Ia
boring so hard, we honestly hope he
may honestly get; but we most
earnestly hope that he may gain no
vote that the people, upon direct ap.
peal, would not freely give him.
Let the question be decided upon
It's merits-without intrigue, without
deception, without political chicancry
OF any sort.

Allison to Mr.. Harlan, very we'll

On an Apple.
Mysterious fruit! thy ruddy round
Sets frolic fancy flying.

Mysterious fruit! thy ruddy round
Sets frolic fancy flying.
Half hid in orchard grass found
Thee fallen. Day was dying;
Laura had left me there alone,
My parting kiss refusing;
And since oil joy with her had hovn,
fell to mumpish musing.
An apple we'll, Ills juicy sweet,
By Phebus rarely roasted;
A lovelier or more luscious treat
Pomona never bsssted.
And yet, and yet, ono cant forget
The painful thought vill slip in
The mischief mortal kind have met
From such another pippiu.
Oh Eve il you content had been
With pear, or plum, or cherry,
Our world had shown different scene
Less mad and far more merry.
And many . sermon had been spared
n In churches and in clspsls,
If We, your children, had .aot shared
Your luckless taste for apples.
Fair fruit! What strange, malignant fate
Links with your mellow glory
The perils Of our fallen state,
The sadness Of our story,
From those Of old, in captured Troy,
Whom Paris brought to sorrow,
To him, the orchard-robbing boy,
Who breads his birch tomorrow.
How many souls associate
With you their trips and trials,
or al on whom dcspotic fato
Has voided all her phials!
Eve and Enone, Jack and Jill,
Myself and Menelaus,
Find you Dead Sea mockery still,
That tempts but 70 betray US.
What dismal destiny bestowed
Your dover of disaster?
To you, her lord md master.
And Tell, and Tantalus-geod lack!
On earth or with the gods,
You have most distinguished knaek
or setting things st odds.
Per contra, fairness must forbid
The muse to be quite mute ON
The little service once you did
To good Sir Isaac Newton.
But that was quite exceptional,
And surely is, beside.
Right poor Offset against the Fall,
And that sad scene on Ida.
Thrice luckless fruit! our world had been
Far better of without you;
Ribsione or russet, red or green.
There's some ill spell about you.
Mankind, perhaps had sager grown,
More fit with fate 10 grapplc,
Had earth or Eden never known
A woman OF an apple.
So grumLled I, when 10. pair
OF pouting lips were profered;
And, taken somewhat unaware
welcomed what they offered.
And verify, It's wondrcus strange,
And passing explanation,
The mighty metamorphic change
Wrought by that OSCILLATION.
Said Laura: "You'rs silly goose,
Because the girls capricious,
To whelm with eloquent abuse
A Apippin 50 delicious.
And that old sneer at Mother Eve
Is worse than stale-it's shabby;
My poor old Berthe, l believe
You're growing tart and crabby."
Quoth I: sSan>stinted fruit win lose
The sweetness Of its SAVIOR,
And grow seur if you refuse
The sunshine Of your favor.
I'm sweet as drops from Hyblas hive
lfyou but smile; 80 do, love.
You are my Venus, and l give
The apple unto you, love-
She smiled-a more seductive smile
Ne'er came from Cytherea-
But thought my pseudo >classic style
A most absurd idea.
She would not take the apple-she
Was no bert pagan Venus;
And 80, to save moro words, dye see,
We ate tho fruit between US.

& Card.

Henry MCGOWAN, the colored man who was
discharged from the custom house feels himself
aggrieved by what Superintendent Wllds al
eges as the cause ofhiS discharge and has sent us
a communication on the subject. That portion
which we conceive to bear upon the question of
his capacity as a workman is as follows
| worked upon the custom house near two
months and heard no complaint about my
work. l scabbed twenty feet Of stone every
dav | cut stone which | can prove by practical
stonecutters who worked on the job with me.
They will make affidavit to the truthfulness of
this statement. | will leave it them If did not
do more work and better than several men who
were working on the job-men who never cut
stone before.
l now proceed to show by facts as to my abil-
ity to do the work of my trade.
In refutation of the charge made by some that
have never worked at stone cutting before L
wish to say that | have been working at it for
twenty years or since 1850, and during that time
at the following places On the Female College
at Greenville, S. c., from the time of its COM
mencement until finished on the Male College
at Greenville, s. c.. on Christ Church, Green
vile, S. c. On the latter building l cut the
mouldings and coping. which stand to indicate
my knowledge and skill as q stone cutter. l also
worked at many other places too numerous to
mention, and for the truthfulness Of these state
ments l respectfully refer all concerned-to Mr.
Butler, master mechanic at Greenville, 5. O.,
Superintendent of the building of the colleges
above named. also tC Rev. Z. j. Alton, Rector
of Christ Church, Greenville, S G.
Is fright that [ who worked at the trade TWEEN
ty years-made money enough at the trade in
ante 6clIan1 days to purchase myself and wife
from a cruel master, am discharged because l
happened to be black? l do not ask any special
privileges on accout of my devotion to the gov
eminent, neither on account ofmy color. [ do
notask to be employed on the government works
because my race have remained true to the gov
eminent, whose laws classed them as chattel,
or because my race in portions of the country are
undergoing punishment worse than that Of the
inquistoral ages for the sake of their loyalty to
the Federal government. But ask equal priv
ileges be accorded without any distinction.

PickpOcket Arrested,

Henry Holly, colored, aged about sixteen,
was, on yesterday morning detected in picking
the pocket of Jefferson Jet, Esq, and taken
before Esquire Yardley, when the proof of his
guilt being made, Henry was sent to Jail to mule
on the uncertainty of mundane affairs. He is
from Chattanooga, but must have been green
hand to bungIe in picking the pocket of a
linen buster, and the reflection must be very
bitter, that if successful, the spols would have
been light, as Mr.. Jet had only about dollar
about him.
He is an inverate rogue, and earlier in the
day stole a jar of jelly from a confectioner, who
discovered him in the act and made him give up
his booty, intimatiDg an arrest if caught prowE-
ing around there again.
When Mr. Jett seized the boy he stoutly de-
MED having taken the pocket book, and adroit-
ly dropped it behind bench, but unfortunately
for him, was seen by lady who stated the fact,
and handed Mr.. Jet his property. The boy
thought this favorable opportunity to leave,
and started, but Mr.. Jett called to some gentle
men to stop him as he was passing Kern's con-
fectionery, when he started off at full speed, and
was pursued several blocks before he could be
