Shannon, the racy editor of the
Waterloo Reporter, who knows
Clayton County politicians from "a
to izzard," thus felicitously illus
tratcs the position of some of those
who make the most ado about the
removal Of Tompkins. There is one
point however upon which we must
take issue with Shannon. There is
the basest bawl club in that county
that ever existed since the days of
Jeremiah
Clayton county-having no base
ball club that amounts to anything,
and 10. Eibocck & Co., having kill
ed beer and billiards by organizing
an Anti-treating Socicty-is forced
to get all its fun out Of politics. The
central figure, around which good
deal Of paving and confused bel
lowing is kept up now, is the rcmov-
al of Mr.. Tompkins from the post
Office at McGregor. When one con-
sidcrs the estimation in which Mr..
Tompkins has heretofore been held
by the very men who are now call
ing Allison and Donnan to fearful
account for his removal, it reminds
one of the Dutehman whose dog
was killed. The canine murder was
committed by neighbor, and Mr..
Dutchman at once sued for one hun
bred dollars. On being reminded
that he himself had often declared
the dog nuisance, he responded, 81

Fight with Indians.

\ Sioux City correspondent of
the Dubuque Times under date of
May Goth, gives the following par
ticulars of a desperate and unequal
fight with Indians
A war party of Yanktons came to
the river few miles above here, n
few days ago, and attacked three
men belonging to party of wood
choppers. The men ran to bend
in the river, and concealed them
selves in the thick bushes, but their
hiding place was discovered, when
a desperate fight took place, which
resulted in the death of one Of the
white men and IL Of the Indians.
The "reds" numbered 40, and left
six of their dead on the field of
battle, not having horses enough to
carry them off. The fight common
ced at p. M, and continued until
dark. The men being intrenched in
a heavy underground and behind a
large log, the Indians found it inn
possible to dislodge them. The two
survivors reached their camp in
safety the next morning.

Requiring Jnrymen to be Fools.

The trouble Of securing a jury for
the Foster trial in New York City
some twelve hundred persons be-
ing drawn before twelve were found
without an opinion-has led to nu-
mcrous and emphatic comments on
the stupidity of the law that requires
a juryman to be fool The Tri-
b,me, in discussing its absurdity,
says: "When the law was framed
there were few newspapers, and
those limited in circulation. Now
every intelligent citizen is certain
to be the reader of at least one
newspaper, and to form an opinion
of what he reads. lie might change
that opinion by reason Of evidence
offered on trial, but as the law
stands he is not eligible to place
on a jury. To lessen the difficulty
of obtaining competent juries, on
important cases, a change is neccs-
sary. Would it not be advisable,
for instance, to establish House
OF Detention, where a given number,
say a hundred or thousand, re-
spectacle and intelligent citizens
could be constantly on hand, to be
drawn as jurors? They must be al
lowed no access to newspapers or
other current literature, and in or
der to keep their minds free and un-
biased, and make the place self-sus-
tanning, they might be assigned to
some useful and entertaining labor,
such as polishing marble or fashion
ing pegs and leather into boots and
shoes. Then to guard against men
tai contamination, they should be
handcuffcd while OH their way to
the courtroom, and their ears and
eyes securely bandagcd. They
could thus be made to face the
Judge, the lawyers and the pris-
oner without any previous knowl-
edge Of the case or it's bearings.
Such body could not fail to be
satisfactory to all parties. Some of
the Jurors might dislike the arrange
mcnt; but is there any public-spirit-
cd citizen who could reasonably
object to solitary confinement and
labor for year or two, in order
that murdercrs and other offenders
should receive a fair trial? If, ow-
ing to al unusual crop of criminals,
the deposits in the bank of jurors
were exhausted, it might be we'll
for the Quarantine officials to arrest
the officers, passengers and crews
of vessels arriving from long voy-
ages, and convey them at once to
the House of Detention. Stringent
precautions should be adopted to
prevent them from learning any
thing about the events of the
day; even the pilots ought to
be deprived of all newspapers, and
be under 9th to bo as uncommnn-
icativc as the Man in the Iron Mask.
The detained persons might oeca~
sioDally object to these gentle rc-
pressive measures, but of what
weight would be thcirprotests when
balanced against the Interests of
iustice?"

The State Register very properly
calls upon somebody who is posted
to rise and explain why fitty'two
pages of illustrated advertisements,
principally Of dealers in agricultur.
al implements and stock growers,
are inserted in the very centre OF
the current volume of the report of
the State Agricultural Society. The
Register has no doubt that these
advcrtisers-but one of whom lives
in Iowa-will feel very amiable over
the kind treatment bestowed upon
them by the State Agricultural So
ciety, but thinks "that the State
which pays for the printing, and the
people who pay the taxes may de-
sire to know why these fifty-one for
tunatc advertisers should not have
paid for the four or five thousand
dollars worth of advertising instead
of having it given to them"

A srAsM Of justice seems tc

A sPAsM OF justice seems to
have come over the courts Of New
York, and for a time ut least the
unwonted spectacle Of an active and
rigorous enforcement of the laws
has been witnessed in the realms OF
Tammany. Last week Foster, the
brutal perpctrator of the street car
murder, was tried before Judge
Cardoza, convicted of murder i'll the
first degree, despite the able efforts
of his counsel, and sentenced to be
hung on The l4th of July. Follow
ing this comes the arrest and speedy
trial for prize fighting of a couple
of bruisers, named Edwards and
Collins, the result of which was their
conviction and sentence to pay a
fine of 81 900 each and to serve the
State at hard labor in the pcnitcn-
tiary for one year, with the privilege
of another twelve months in case the
fine is not paid. The Democracy is
very strong in New York but their
tremendous majoritics will not long
sustain the strain of even-handcd
justice like this; and for that reason
it is not unlikely that Tammany will
soon put stop to the strangling
and expatriation of her cherished
friends and upholders.

The Ottumwa Ionricf makes the
following disparaging allusion to
one of the trucst, as he is one of the
ablest statesman in the Republican
ranks:
Trumbnll wears gold spcctacles,
voted with the Democrats against
impeachment, and now wants Il law
passed to make it penal offence for
the unwashed ror popuH to ask him
to recommend any one tor an office,
which are his chief popularpersonal
characteristics recommending him
to the fierce Democracy.
Undoubtedly no offense is graver
in the estimation of the Courier,
than the attempt to do something
which will render it difficult for the
editors Of that paper to get posses
sion of Offices under the government.

Greeley and tho Presidency.

The following interesting cores
pondencc is published in the Leaven-
worth Times of May 2sth. It will
be seen that Mr.. Greeley. is not
averse to the use Of his name as a
candidate for President, and indeed
the Republican party might do a
great deal worse than to nominate
and elect him. Horace Greeley has
some crotchets, but he has never in
his long career forfeited the conf
dcnce of the country in his, patriot
ism, honesty ofpnrposc, and entire
devotion to principle. The Times
says that he has many warm friends
in Kansas, and that in the south
western portion of the State Greeley
clubs are already being organized.
The following is the correspondence
referred to:
LEAvENwonTII, KAN, April 20, 1871.
Hon. HORACE GREELEY:
Dear Sir: Your many friends in Kan
sas desire to have your views in relation
to your name being brought before the
next National Republican Convention i'll
1872, for the nomination of president.
Without any disrespcct to General Grant,
we believe that no living American states
man has the claim of yourself for Prcsi-
dent
Very respectfully, your friend,
WM. IAKMURE.

The Sioux City Journal says that
"a gentleman who resides in Fort
Dodge, and who is recognized there
as a person of means and social
standing, was guilty Of little es-
capade last week which is likely to
disturb the serenity of his domestic
relations. He became infatuated
with two wantons, and yielding to
their alluring beguilcmcnts, agreed
to leave honor, good name, family
relations, and all that good men hold
dearest TO life, and follow the
cyprians. lie deposited $4,000 with
a party, with instructions to remit
him might be directed, and the
guilty trio took the train for Sioux
City, where he rcvclcd for . few
days in guilty pleasures, which were
abruptly terminated by the appear
ancc Of his wife, on Sunday last,
who, mctaphorically speak ng, took
him by the ear and totcd him home
on Monday morning. 1t appears
that the wife had her suspicious
that all was not as it should be with
her Hcgc lord, and proceeded to a
personal investigation of the sub
iect, with the result above stated"

The French Communist rebellion
has ended in fire and blood. Peace
rcigns i'll Paris, but it is the peace
Of almost utter desolation. The
troops Of the government have
crushed out with the iron heel the
last vestige of resistance, and both
parties rest utterly spent with the
bloody work. 1t is said that Is, 900
to 10000 people have been shot
since the Versallists entered Paris,
and fully onc-quarter Of the beau
tiful city, including magnificent pal
aces and stately churches is laid in
ashes. Among the dead are hun
drcds Of women and children, the
victims of the Economical passions
of the hour. The horrors of war
have had no more terrible and re-
pulsive examplitication for a CEN
fury than this last in the streets of
Paris.

The Sioux City Journo', the
Times of the same place, and Il few
other papers in the Sixth District,
have been scdulously endeavoring to
excite breeze over the nomination
of Geo. II. Wright, of Sac county, to
be Register of the U. S. Land Of
flee at Sioux City, in place of John
Cleghorn, whose term expires the
first Of July. The confirmation OF
Mr.. Wright was urged by Hon.
Jackson Orr, the member of Con-
gress from the district, and opposed
by Mr.. Harlan for reasons best
known to himself. In this connec-
ton the Storm Lake Pilot quotes
from an article in the Sioux City
Journal on the McGregor postmas-
tership, in which that paper lays
down as principle that sis no part"
of a Senator's "duty to Indicate per-
sons for federal appointment to Of
flee, in districts having direct rep
sentation in the House," and taxes
it with Inconsistency for strongly
opposing Mr.. Wright, whose APP
pointmcnt was indicated by the ''di-
rect representative of the Sixth
District, Mr.. Orr, and for favoring
Mr.. Cleghorn, who had only the in
termeddling Senator to back him.

DEATH OF A GREAT ASTRONOMER.

DEATH OF A GREAT ASTRONOMER.
Sir John IIerschcl, whose death
is announced from England, is the
second of that name who has made
it famous, and though his father,
Sir William 1Icrschcl, is generally
better known to fame than his son,
the latter has really rendered more
service to science. The elder Her
schcl was 4 Hanovcrian German, of
humble parentage. His father was
a musician, and educated Sir Will
liam in the same art; and the flu
ture astronomer went to England in
1857, to earn his bread as a member
of a military band, at the age Of 10.
When he was thirty years old, he
was an optical instrument maker,
and in l774 constructed himself 4
telescope. He was forty years old
before he became known as al as
tronomcr, and fitty-four when his
only son, the late Sir John Fred
crick William, was born, March Z,
1892. The father died in 1922, but
not until his son had published a
mathematical work, and begun to
distinguish himself as an astrono-
mer. From 1925 to 1850 Sir John
devoted himself to astronomical OBJ
seryation, and has done more than
any other man ever did to measure
and map out the position of the
stars, particularlarly those Of the
southern hemisphere. He resided
in South Africa from 1884 to 1898,
and, on his return, catalogued 1000
ncbuln and 100 double stars OBJ
served by him there. lie also
wrote much, and in an admirable
style, on the general subjects of as
tronomy and metcorology. In 1850
he became master of the British
mint, which place he held for five
years. His character, like that OF
his father, was very upright and
amiable one. and few scientific men
have left u more desirable reputa
ton. lie was in his soth year at
the time Of his death, and for sew
cral years past has written little.

Terrible Accident.

Tie Fayette Union Of last week
gives the following particulars con-
corning the fearful death of one of
the prominent citizens Of that coun-
ty:
We are called upon to record one
of the most painful accidents that
has ever bcfallen this community.
On last Friday VIM. Is. McCleery,
the proprietor of the mill at West
Auburn, was coming home from
Ossian with his mother, on 4 wagon
loaded with goods. When just the
other side of Jacob Rosters, on the
Ossian road, his horses attempted
to run, he pulled them back; then
the traces became unhitchcd and
the horses made u lunge to the left,
off the road. Mr.. McClcery's moth
err only remembers that her son went
head foremost across her lap.
In about one half hour after, Mr..
Ingersoll of this place, came along
and found Mr.. McCleery lying near
the road and the wagon 4 short dis
lance off upside down, and Mr..
McClccry's mother underneath. lie
released the old lady, and went for
help to the house of Jessie Phillips,
who lived near by. Mr.. McCleery
was found dead, with his neck and
skull broken, and his face crushed.
The old lady was badly injured, but
will probably recover.
In connection with this melon
choly affair, the Union also tells of
the singular presentiment expert
cnced by Mrs. Jordan, a sister of
Mr.. McClecry:
Friday night, Mrs. Jordan awoke
her husband, and told him that she
had dreamed horrible dream.
That she had seen her brother Will
liam killed. Mr.. Jordan told his
wife that it was immossiblc, and af-
ter much persuasion she laid down
to sleep. About daylight Saturday
morning, messenger, who had
been sent to convey the sad tidings,
knocked at the door, before going
to see who knocked, Mrs. Jordan
sprang out bed, saying: 81 knew
it! l knew it! they have come to tell
u.s." Sure enough, the dream prov
ed a terrible reality.
