The Ghouls Among the Clio

A party Of Charlestonian3 and
visiting strangers from the
North and elsewhere, made an ex-
cnrsion up Ashley river a few
days ago to admire the beauties
of nature and art, and witness
some of the works Of modern men,
which Go no credit either to them
or the age in which they live.

place of Mr.. Williams Middleton,

work of ten generations, aud in

mansion that was like a palace,
now a mass of charred ruins:
miles upon miles of avenues,
ponds, lakes. drives, vistas live
oaks thirty eight feet in circum-
ference, lawns whereon ranged
choice cattle from the Indies and
from Europe; the wreck OF a sta

sheltered the best blooded horses
of the South; the massive quar-

ten thousand volumes, and pic
lures OF priceless value; and last,

The company fingered at this

was difficult to make the Strangers
present believe that such desecra

century. Here, too, the rare nat,

enjoyed, though the visitors felt

a speculation as to how easily

Every State possible to 60 for

Pennsylvania is also put Repub-

Political Items,

The Iowa City Republican says tina
Senator Harlan has written to a fricnt
in johnson county, urging all Republic
cans in the most direct and forcble man
ner to support the regular Republican
ticket in this county, without reference
to the Senatorial question" This advice
is timely, and honorable to Mr.. Har
Ian.
The Dcs Moines Reyie,o says of re
cent speech by Mr. Allison, in Kossutl
county, published in the Burlington
Hankeye: CHOSE who have charged
Mr.. Allison with being a free trader viii
not find anything in the speech to sustain
their assertion. His position upon the
tariff, rs taken in his speech, is the same
as that of ninety-nine out of every hun
dred Republicans in the State, and is in
harmony with the platform adopted by
the Republican State Convention in June
While we do not favor Mr. Allison for
the U. S. Senate, we desire to see him
fairly represented.
A correspondent of the Cedar Rapids
Observer attending the Upper Iowa Con-
ference, in session this week at Clinton,
writes: politics will, 1 think, be kept
out Of this laymen's convention. But If
there is not some wire-working, then l
miss my guess, and an outsider may
be counted as not being very well
posted.

thus expanded by the introduction

manufactures, I could rejoice in
their enlargement. Half dozen

pations. If they are to live mainly
by tratfic-by changing the farmers

they are now making by land spccu-
lation and usury. They ought to
establish manufactures, if only to
back up their large investments in
real estate. Were Iowa this day
making her own wares and fabrics,
her cities would have broader
base for prosperity and growth than
they now have, while her farmers
would sell fruits and vegetables to
tar greater profit than they now sell
wheat and corn. These may be
very stale truths; yet they need to
be reiterated until needed and de-

OSE Of the hardest ridden mis-
representations Of the Democrats,
that the people are taxed more
heavily than ever before, because,
torssth, lighter taxes, honestly col
!ected from thriving population,
produced more in 1870 than in 1869,
now falls headlong to the ground.
The revenues Of the United States
for the year ending June 80, 1871,
are actually about eight per cent.
less than for the year ending June
80, 1870. The internal revenue
taxes have yielded but sl43, 900, 900
against 1916, 100000 the previous
year,a difference Of S42, 100000. The
revenue from customs, owing to a
large consumption Of forei On goods,
increased from Sl95 ,OO0,O in 1870
to 5000, 100000 in 1871, a gain of
$1,000, 900, which substracted from
the loss in internal revenue leaves
still 4 falling off Of S3l 100000 in
the gross yield of the national
taxes.

State News,

The Cedar Falls Gazette tells a thrill
ling tale of peril and escape-Alex Marks
was setting pump in the bottom OF a
well, when he discovered tina. the walls
were about to cave in. Calling for a
rope, he succeeded in getting portion Of
tho way up when the impending earth
and rock gave way, burying him some
fifteen feet under the mass. Fortunately
the falling stone formed an arch against
the pump stock, which partially protected
Marks, and there he remained for seven
hours, waiting and list cning to the efforts
made for his release, pipe and bellows
in the meantime furnishing him with air.
After the seven hours of superhuman en-
dcavor, he was at last rescued from his
living tomb, but slightly injured.

lecturer, who was set upon by five saloon

More Annexation.

The rcstles, uneasy spirits in the
South, who melted the rebellion
and conducted the Confcderacy tc
its iynominious fate, anxious to re-
gain the prestige lost in that UNI
happy enterprise, have now con
ccived a scheme no less grand and
comprehensive than the annexation
to the United States, of the whole OF
3 Mexico. Our sister Republic is to
be wooed to our embrace, but if she
proves coy and reluctant, then the
strong arm is to accomplish what
soft words could not do. The out
lines Of this magnificent project,
with the names of its inventors and
principal adhcrents are, contained
in the following dispatch:
New YrRK, Oct. 3.-Rcliablc in
formation has been received here
that there exists a widespread or
ganization of ex-confedcratc officers,
soldiers and politicians, including
also many persons who served in
tho federal army, whose purpose it
is to bring about the annexation OF
Mexico; peaceably if they can;
iorcibly if they must. This organi-
cation expects to secure the annexa-
ton Of Mexico within five years.
Joseph G. Johnston, the famous con-
fcderate General, is chief the or
@anization. Rosecrans is in SYM
patty with the movement. John A.
Logan is also named. 1t is believed
that Juarcz himself is not unt'ricnd
ly to the objects sought. The de-
mand for annexation is TO begin in
Mexico. Newspapers advocating
the cause will soon be started there,
and the coming winter will see the
first fruits of a movement long con-
templated, but only about to be
sprung upon the two republics.

The Cedar Falls Gazette abiding
to the protest of the Fairfield Zeodc,
that Mr.. Wilson is not running for
the Senate in the interest of any
body but himself, asks:
els that all the thanks the Allison
papers are to get for publishing
Wilson's speech?"
1t is not probable that any ALI
son paper published Mr.. Wilson's
speech for any other reason than
because Of its intrinsic merit. The
narrow mindedncss of that paper
is to be commisseratcd, which con-
fesses by implication, that it does
not lay before its readers SO power
full and candid an exposition Of the
principles Of the Republican party,
solely because the author is not it's
