TAsTEFUL.-Stepping into Mrs. Hobbic
& Co.'s New Millinery Rooms, the other
evening, We were confronted with one Of
the finest and most lavish displays of Ia
dies finery we ever sat eyes upon. The
new store is fitted up in tho neatcst and
most convenient style of any in town,
and its shelves, cases and drawers are
filled with stock of laces, trimmings,
millinery goods, ribbons, flowers, &C..
well calculated to fill lady with delight
and her husband with CONSERVATION
We doubt if similar establishment in
Iowa can show finer array or neater
store.

The Conservative and Mr.. Russell.
In pursuance Of the policy of SANDER
and Misrepresentation adopted by its
party, the Conservative, last week launch.
ed a poisoned arrow at Mr.. Russell, the
Republican candidate for Supervisor.
We quote:
To illustrate the capability of Mr.. Russell, the
Grant candidate for Supervisor. for the position
for which be has been nominated. We have only
to state that some years ago bridge was built
by the county one Of the inspectors of said bridge
The bridge was accepted. After 1t became the
property of tho county, 1t seems Mr.. Russell was
on horse back. He had but fairly ridden upon the
structure he SO lately had pronounced all right,
whom through he went, horse and all: He came
out with q broken leg aud damaged horse. His
next step was to enc the county for damages to
the amount Of 5000, and he actually succeeded
inc IN $ iST t%s to en- ana
on #: tumbled through it, broke his leg, and got
$500 for the job.
To answer the above it is only necess-
airy to state facts.
The bridge referred to was built in
1857 by A. Riseley, and was accepted by
the bridge committee Of that year. Mr..
Russell was not qualified as Supervisor
until January 1866, and had nothing to do
with the bridge business until Feby. or
Ma rch Of the same year, SO he was not
one Of the inspectors of the bridge Next,
the Conservative says that Mr.. Russell
was the first man to cross the bridge he
had pronounced all right, when through
he went horse and all. Another false.
hood. The bridge had been built accep-
ted and used for year; and not fifteen
minutes before Mr.. Russelps accident
team crossed it safely.
Next the Conservative says, Mr.. Rus
sell, sued the county for $4,000 and sue
ceeded in collecting $500 damages arising
from his own wrong. Not true again.
Mr.. Russell did not sue the county for
$4,000 or any other amount. He did
file claim for personal damages before
the Board of Supervisors and was awar
dcd 5000.
To recapitulate, Mr.. Russell was not
appointed one of the inspectors of the
bridge across the Buffalo, he did not ex-
anime and accept it, he was not the first
man to cross after it was accepted, he
never pronounced it all right ana he did
not sue the county for $4,000.
Win anybody tell us what is left of the
Consercatire's charges. And who can
estimate the capacity for equivocation
Of a paper which can cram half dozen
lies into stickful of type, the party as
sailed being only 4 candidate for. Super
visor, at that?

How 1T AFFECTS THEM The effect of
the elections last week upon the confed-
crater of this vicinity manifests itself in
all manner of ways, except that it is not
at all exhilarating. Some of the Liber-
ais, like Capt. SCOTS coon, came right
down, without waiting for the final coup
de grace. Oagthis sort was the man who
the other day walked up and paid bet
he had been foolish enough to make on
Greeley's cleo ton, at the same time re-
marking that he was not sure that he
would throw his vote away on the Dolly
Warden candidate, now that his defeat
was a foregone conclusion.
Another prominent Liberal, who has
one element of a great commander, in
that he always leaves open his line of re.
treat, was heard cmphatically assevcra-
ting, the other day, that he had hun
bred dollars for the man who ever heard
him say that he would vote for Greeley.
We think his money is safe, but the De-
mocracy have been under the impression
that they had him securely booked.
As for the Democrats, they are ac-
quainted with grief, and from long habit
round up and take it without violent
demonstrations. Quite number, how
ever, announce their intention to cut
loose from the dead body Of Grceleyism
| and vote for O'ConnOr
