We copy the following from the
Iowa CITY Republican, which viii be of
interestto the friends ofthe esrimable
lady,who lives in this community:
The Iowa City Republican relates an
incident that illustrates Western
growth, and the changes that occur
within lifetime Mrs Lucas, widow
of the late Governor Lucas, gave a
party in that city on the 21st ult.,
being the seventy sixth university of
her birthday. The Republican says ::
''There were present children, grand
children and great grandchildren, four
generations, ranging from boyhood to
old age, the hostess appearing the
happiest of them ALL Mrs. Lucas
husband, General Robert Lucas, after
serving two terms as Governor of
Ohio, was appointed by General Jack
son first Territorial Governor of Iowa
Mrs. Lucas, then past middle life, ac-
companied her husband to the new
Territory, but little of which had been
reclaimed from the sayages. She has
lived to see it developed into a great
and rapidly growing State, of a million
and a quarter of people, holding q po-
sition second TO no equal number on
the face of the globe.
Governor Lucas was the President
of the first National political conven-
tion that was ever held in the United
States. 1t met at Baltimore in 1882
and nominated Andrew Jackson, o.
Tennessee, for President, and Martin
Van Buren, of New York, for Vice
President. Gov Lucas name also
headed the first jackson electoaia
ticket ever run in Ohio.

Liquor Dealers Association.


This Society met Monday night last,
pursuant to adjournment, for the pur-
pose of considering the constitution.
Mr. VIM. R. Mutt was called to the
Chair and John E. Smith appointed
Secretary. The constitution as adopt
ed provides that the Association shall
be known as the "Liquor Dealers As
sociation OF Ross County, Ohio" and
states the object to be : 1st, the promo
tnion of unity and concerted action of
the members of the Association. I'd,
the protection of members of-the Asso=
ciatoin against the action of certain
persons under the State law. Sd, to Sc
cure the repeal or modification of the
liquor laws ofsOhio
Article and specifies the officers
of the Asso ociation and their duties and
manner of election Article 4 says
mo person shall become member of
this Association unless he has taken
out a United States license as a liquor
| dealer, and shall have paid into the
treasury of this Association the sum OF
one dollar, and shall have had his name
favorably reported upon by the Execu
tive Committee, and shall have signed
the constitution of this Association,
From the above, it will be seen that
the information given US last week con
corning the objects of the Society was
incorrect in several particulars.
After the adoption of the constitution
an election for permanent officers was
held, resulting as follows; President

The saBina Sensation.


: We noted last week that on June 1st,
Sabin was excited over a supposed
case of infanticide, and that the citi-
zens had endeavored for twenty four
hours to pump the water out of the
wafer station well, in order TO discover
the remains of the infant; and that they
had finally given up the task in despair.
Since that time the matter has been
theme for thought and conversation IN
the village, and worked so much upon
the imagination of one Of the citizens,
VIM. Penn, that he had a day dream,
a vision, in which he saw the murdered
infant at the bottom of the well. This
worked so much on him, that he in
duced the people to again make the at
tempt to sound the well. Accordingly
on last Saturday morning they put in
two pumps and, after ardurous labor,
succeeded in lowering the water down
to tire mud and trash at the bottom.
A man d. scepded, made thorough
search, hut found nothing; so the old
well was allowed again to fill with
water, and the sensation is at an end.

Hark From the TOOmbs--A Lovely
Rebel.


A New York Tribune correspondent,
travelling in the South, had talk with
Robert sToombs. Here is an extract
from his report:
Later in the conversation General
Toombs spoke of the civilization of the
South as compared with that of the
North and Europe. He had travelled,
he said, over mnch of the world, and
had seen no higher civilization than that
of Virginia and Georgia. The civili
cation of the North was far below it.
H1e thought the agricultural popu,
lation of New England the poorest
class Of people he had ever seen. [ re-
piled that the agricultural people of
Georgia and South Carolina were the
poorest people / had ever seen, and
therupon a discussion arose as to what
constituted a high degree of ciyiliza-
tion, the General contending that it did
not consist in packing people together
as thick as hogs in pen, which, he
said, was the Northern idea. He
thought thinly-settled country, where
people had room enough and did not
interfere with each other, and where
the faboring class was owned or con-
trolled by the landholders, was the
highest type of modern civilization.
changed the sebjeet, and asked if he
thought immigration was desirable fol
the South. mo" he replied, "we don't
want Northern men to come here lei
them stay at home where they belong.
This is our country, and we want to
keep it for ourselves and our children
If people who call them selves our con
querors insist on coming here against
our wishes, they need expect no wei
come from MS. We will have nothing
to do with them"
Gen Toomhs spoke with great bitter
ness of the Reconstruction Acts anC
Constitutional Amendments The par
ty that passed them W re liars, he said
for they pretended TO believe in self
government, and at the same time the
would not give the South any liberty
to regulate its own affairs, and thel
by horde of Northern thieves, sen
down here to hold the offices and ty
ranize over the people. "Why can
you let us alone ?" he went on. ex
citedly. .If your idea of governmen
is not lie, stay away, and let US man
nge our own affairs. We don't wan
to have anything to do with you. w
had the satisfaction of killing NOR
than two hundred thousand of you
and if my advice had been followed th
war would not have ended until we ha
killed more" Once upon the subject G
the war, hs went on to argue the righ
al secession, to denounce the NOrtf
md to call the UDion army horde c
mercenaries, maFauders and thieves
Twenty five hundred women, cor
yicted Of setting fire or attempting

Everybody knows that the war which
was forced upon the country by the
politicians of the South, sympathized
with and encouraged by the Democratic
politicians of the North, compelled the
enactment OF many laws to which our
people were unaccustomed, and with
the making and enforcing of which our
legislators were unfamiliar. Hence
these enactnents made in defence Of
the life of the nation, necessarily were
defective ard their execution some
times irregular.
To correct any abuses arising from
both their defects and execution has al
ways been the policy of the Republican
party, and to revision as we'll as to a
repeal of the more obnoxious features
of some of these, particularly of the
revenue laws, much Of our national leg
islation has been devoted.
With a steadily continuous decrease
+ of:the national debt and rigid econ
omy, such as should be enforced in ev-
cry department of the Government, it
need not be long until every industry
of-the country can be relieved from the
burdens forced upon them by the ma
licious enemies Of the country
