We notice that Mrs. Victoria Woodruff who mas
really become as preposterous and as intolerable
bore as George Francis Train or the Count Johannes
signifies her purpose Of sending ont five hundred
female orators to make shrll and incoherent the
coming Presidential campaign. Perhaps she can do
it. Who knowsf If 80, it will add petticoats and
pcturesqueness to a crusade which has hitherto been
somewhat bleak from the lack of those allur1ng
and attractive clements. The twinkle Of No. 2
CATER with a high heel upon the rostrum would
doubtless tickle the great ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ton, stupefed by long contemplation of No. IA bro
CANS double soled but we do MT think the dis
courses of the wearers of these bewilderlng
boots would amount to much. 1t Is Sc
riously to be hoped that Mrs. W. will
reconsider her alarming resolution and not wantonly
flood the land with another deluge of talking viz
gins. There are surely enough now. With babbe
of them is the world filed. and OF most of them the
emptiness is as the emptiness of innumerable drums
OF the other sort so far heard FROM it would APP
pear that they desire to have as little to do with
Mrs. Woodruff as possible.

Mr. Uubbord tho Democratic" candidate for
Governor Of Connecticut, has already been inter
viewed y and cross-examined by q newspaper man.
He Is of opinion that "if Mr.. Grant should cut OH
the heads of some of the Now-York Custom-house
officials it might benefit the Radicals" he ID also
of opinion that Z" the Temperance and Labor heIorm
movements" are Of very little consequence he Is
likewise of opinion that "if the state shouid go
Democratic this Spring, it will also go Democratc IN
the FalD Additionally, he is Of the opinion tnat ne
ought not to be called upon to contribute to the eec
ton expenses and emphatcally he is OF the OPINION
that he will do nothing Of the kind. 80 mncn ior
his opiniOns As to his tastes he informed MS tor-
mentor that "he disliked greatly to appear IN pDio
as o politician at ALL" and that ne never niaoo
nolitical speeches unless no was lassoed
and dragooned into it," This Mr. HuDDard
seems to be O nice sort of gentleman, and the
little biographical and other details when the
Democratic" newspapers print concerning him arc
intensely interesting. Thus the writer above re-
ferred to tells us that the Connecticut candidate ID
"of medium hight and well prOportioned, and In
dress is evidently partial to business SUITS Ills lace
tells YOU at once that he is man Of ability de mas
q high forehead. Also piercing eye Aware OF
his own attainments his modesty will not permit
him to make them known" Yet what are all these
beauties virtues, and intellectual and moral ana

for Governor of Connecticut who has Insaneiy re-
solved not TO give one penny toward paying the ex
nenses of the election Such conduct as this will
domooe any Democratic" candidate in Connecti-

Facts Concerning awards on Sew
ing Machines at tho Buchan an O.
Fair, 1871.

In a recent Sewing Machine advertisement the
title of which read thus: 1.-The grandest list OF
Frst Premiums awarded to any Sewing Ma
chine in Iowa, were awarded to the Howe" the
reader will notice that the signature Agent as
s:rts that the Howe took the First Premium at
the Buchanan County Fair in 1871. As positive
contradiction of this, and proof that it is false,
we publish below the report Of committee con-
corning awards on Sewing Machines and Sewing
Machine work, as recorded by the Secretary.
INDEPENDENCE, Iowa. Jan. II, 1872.
For the purpose of correctly informing the in
habitants of Buchanan county, the decision of
the Judges on Sewing Machines and Sewing Ma
chine work, at the Buchanan county Fair held at
Independence, Sept. 9th, 18th and 29th 1871, |
hereby certify thatthc report Of the committee
shows that diplssAa was awarded to each, the
First Premium awarded to Sewing Machine work,
was awarded to the Singer Machine" All re-
potts contrary to this are i1 1Sm Ctr
Sec'y of Buchanan Co. Agr'l Society.
We noticed under the same title that the Howe
claimed the First Premium at the State Fair, held
ut Cedar Rapids. If the reader who may be inter
ested in this matter. will call at the Singer Office
he will be shown the report of the committee at
the State Fair signed by them that the only First
Premium awarded for best family Sewing Machine
was awarded to the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany. Not being posted in regard TO the other
Fairs stated in the before mentioned advertise
ment, we not prepared to question them. they
being Oflttle note we leave them to the option
Of the reader, who will doubtless take into con
sideration the misrepresentation made in mem
ton Of the State Fair, and our own in Buchanan
county, before being convinced that they are sub
stantially correct. We are happy to inform our
friends and the public in general that the ''Sing
er" averages selling every working day in the
week, supported by correct account Of sales and
First Premiums at Fairs where true merit wins.

II have on this occasion, rs well as on
several other occasions lately, heard com
mendable praise lavishcd upon the Her.
ald and its publishers. for the enterprise
they manifest in laying exciting as well
as interesting news before the public,
with such regularity and promptness.-
Only think of it, said Republican
reader in my hearing this day, here we
have the full details of 4 sad calamity, in
our midst, made known through the Du-
buquc Herald, in our streets and places
of business, before the BULLETIN readers
had time to get that paper from the Of
flee l heard another reader exclaim
that he had learned first through the col.
umns of the Herald most Of the exciting
and interesting occurrences that has ia
ken place here for two or three years"
We clip the above from the Indepcn
dence correspondence of the Dubuque
Herald, of the 2nd inst The implied
disparagcment of the enterprise Of the
bull ETIN desires word Of comment
We do not wish to dctract anything from
the commcndablc enterprise of the Dubu-
que papers in keeping paid correspond
cnts in the interior towns, whose duty it
is to pick up and forward for their col
umns items Of interest Transporting in the
several localities But candid readers
will be able to account for the fact that
many items of news first reach the eyes Of
the public in those towns through the me-
dunn of the Dubuque papers, without i'm
putting it to the inactivity ofthe local press.
1t is nothing great to boast of, that a
daily paper successfully completes in
fresh news with weekly.
But the modest assumption of
the Herald correspondent, that that
paper publishes nearly I'LL the local news
of this vicinity, is not correct. In con-
travcntion of it, we might instance the
letter from which the above extract was
taken, one of the principal items Of which,
that relating to the admirable presence
of mind of Judge Roszclls son, first saw
the light in the BULLETIN, and was UNI
doubleday suggested to the writer from
that source. Furthermore, We make
this statement, which will be verified by
the readers Of both papers, that fully
three fourtlls of the 'ncws" in the Herald
correspondence from this place, for the
last three years, has been but repro
duction of matter which had before ap-
pcarcd in the BULLETIN, in many in
stances clothed in language which
betrayed Tie source of the information.
We chcerfully accord to the correspond
cnt, enterprise, industry, ability, etc, but
we can hardly endorse his cOmplacent
assumption that his letters to the Herald
will entirely obviatc the necessity for
the publication of newspapers in our
city.
