POSTMASTER. - Tho public were
taken by surprise by the dispatch
which appeared in our columns YES
to-day morning announcing the
nomination by the President, OF Mr..
n. z. Sunderland for Postmaster Of
this city. By whom he had been
recommended, or who was his
"friend at court" was mystery to
him, no less than to others. Aid so
far as we are informed, the mystery
is still unsolved. In meantime, how
ever, il is conceded on all hands we
believe, that Mr.. 8. will make good
Postmaster. He is a Thoroughbred
Republican, an upright and highly
esteemed citizen, and Of undoubted
competency to discharge efficiently
and faithfully the duties of the posi-.
ton. The official lightning couldn't
we'll have struck q more worthy in.

Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker, in
the Independent Of April 9Th, has an
article with the caption, "Who Shall
be tho Next President" in which she
SHES her hood into tho ring for
Charles Sumner. Notice the flourish
of trumpetswith which she lntrodu.
ces tho subject. She says:
The signs of the times arc omi.
nous in regard to the disintegration
of the old parties, and full of sugges-
ton and hope as to the formation Of
new ones. But there is ono way, and
only one, by which the Republican
party can retain its conference and
elect its nominee and this way is
no new one, only = continuance of
the old, as at first traveled-the way
OF the fathers toward true liberty.
Let that party assure the women
OF these United States that their
rights under the Constitution shall
be respected, their silent votes re-
ceived without dispute, and let them
set up Charles Sumner as the stan
dard-bearer ia this last great BATHS
for human freedom, and they will
sweep on to . victory unparalleled
in modern times.'
In advocating the claims of Mr..
Sumner for the nomination among
other things, she would be so foolish
az to suppose that Southern Demo-
Gratis would support Mr.. Sumner
That even Carrot Davis would do so.
The lady is very verdaDt, indeed, il
she does not see that whatever OK.
pressions of regard and support are
made BY Democrats, in reference "a
Sumner, are empty and vain bah.
blings, uttered only to deceive. She
says: kaa
II have been in opposition to Mr.,
Sumner the greater part Of my life. .
said Virginian "but he is the only
man in the country worthy to be

And his wife, o Maryland woman,

OF Kentucky, said TO Senator, who
reported the word to mo /: "Mr,

then may count upon some Southern
votes, q strong Northern vote, and d
nearly undivided vote of the women
OF the country; and, failing TO elect
on this, would, at least, crown itself
with honor.as being faithful to rrin.

j The Supreme court Of the United
States has again decided o case which
must certainly convince everybody
that there is no hope for corporation
to escape the, payment Of railroad
bonds that were issued years ago il
payment of stock in railroads. TIL.
case was brought individually against
the supervisors Of Des Moines coun
", by Henry Amy asking Q judg
ment against them personally, they
having refused to make a levy TO pay
his judgment against the county up.
on bonds which he held. The super.
visors answer to his petition set up
three defenses, as follows: LIST. That
they were not indebted. I'd. That
they had been enjoined and attached
by the State court for contempt, when
they undertook to make To levy and
were under bonds not to mako the
levy. Sd. That before the COM
mencement Of this action the Legis,
lature of this State had repealed The
law, making the Supervisors individu-
ally liable. This answer is held Of no
effect; that regardless of statutes
upon The subject, the common law
furnishes all tho law necessary, aud
that the statute was only cumn-
lative and it's repeal took away no
right OF plaintiff. That ignorance
Of the law by the Supervi-
sors is NO defense, and, though
between the fires of tho Fed
eral and State Courts-each rule
ing Observation-Disclosures udg-
ment was given against the Super
visors, individually. 1t can thus DO
seen how unavailing would litigation
r H .
have been, on the part Ct our county
officials, to dofeat the small, amount,
comparatively, which Wapello
county owes upon these bonds. The
only mistake we made, rs people,
was, that we did not compromise
years ago, whom we might have donc
80 on good terms. We are informed
however, that it was impossible TO
find out whore the bonds of our
county wore, though q great deal OF
effort was made to find them.
AS will appear in our telcgraphlc
dispatches, that cntcrprising firm of
Snow & Huber, Of Pclla, have suffer
cd terrible loss in the total des-
truction, by fire, Of their forwarding
and commission house. These gen
tlemcn, by their promptness and
gcntlemanly manner OF doing bust
ness, have gained most excellent
reputation as business mon, and we
hope that they have sufficient iusu.
rance to cover u large portion of their
loss. The dry weather aud high
winds prevailing this spring, makes
fires very destructive and numerous
throughout the country, and too
much care cannot be had to prevent
them.

begun. on the preceding day, were pro ecuted
yesterday with energy, and FIVE large and conVe-

the lower hall willing hearts and busy hands were
hard at work, and the iaterminaole garlands and

dustry. Several Ornamental pieces Of fancy iron
work have also been secured, and, with the
wreaths and flowers. will materially assist the

ting out lilies and roses from white and pink pa
per seemed a labor OF love, aud a huge pile OF

IMPORTANT TO ;Pnors.-The case of Charles
Camp, pilot, against the steamship Virginia, for
pllotsge, was decided yesterday before Trial
Justice Levy. The plaintiff had demanded the
right OF taking The ship over the bar, and, being
refused by her captain, brought suit for his fees.
The captain OF the ship defended himself on the
ground that he would have been liable, under the
law, to q penalty OF 500 II he accepted the ser
Vices OF q pilot without a regular license from the
United States, and that the plaintiff had no such
license. The collector OF the port and the In.
spector OF steamer both testified, and the law
was produced directing that all vessels. propelled
wholly or in part by steam, should employ pilots
licensed by the United States. under a penalty OF
500. After a thorough examination, the justice
dismissed the suit, and decreed against the plain
tin for costs.
