Death o. Rev. 3. W. Rogge.

\ good man has fallen in our midst.
On last Sabbath afternoon, about 4
o'clock, Rev. J. NJ. Boggs expired at his
residence near this city, after a short but
severe attack OF typhoid feFcr. Mr..
Borgs has been resident of this city for
the past sixteen years, emigrating to the
west from Ohio Until about three years
since, he was the honored and loved pas
tor of the 1st Presbyterian society, but
his health becoming impaired, he ut that
time resigned his charge and has since
been engaged in educational work, rs
the agent of the Lcnox Collegiate Insti-
tutc, of Hopkinton, Delaware county
He was also Secretary of the Board Of
Trustees of the Insane Hospital at this
point
We doubt if any man in this commu-
nifty enjoyed in so large degree its conf
dcnce and respect as Mr.. Boggs. In
every relation of life he was the same
kindly, unassuming, conscientious, Chris
tian gentleman. He was Il man of un-
doubted intellectual power, but never
selfasscrtng, or obtrusive. BY mono
was he better appreciated, or more SIN
ccrely beloved, than by those who, pcne-
tratng the modest reserve which he
habitually wore, came to know him init
mately, and to witness the springs Of his
actions. His daily life and conversation
gave proof of the power of Christian ex
ample shedding about him genial influ-
ence for good and leaving behind him the
aroma of charactc as nearly perfect as
is ever attained in this world. His death
is a public loss, and he VIII be sincerely
mourncd by hundreds outside of his fam
ily and former congregation. Mr.. Boggs
was nearly 81 years of age, and leaves,
besides his wife, family Of five children.
The funeral exercises were held at the
Presbyterian church, on Tuesday, Rev.
Nj Marshall, Of Dubuque, officiating

THE editor Of the Conservative is bet

fool and his money might be appropriate
w quoted in this connection. The De
mocracy are INDUCING in the same gilt
edged anticipation over the Congrcsslon-
al contest that animated them two months
ago, when the Baltimore Convention
nominated Greeley. Then Greeley was
going to sweep the country with whirl.
Grant would carry three, possibly four OF
the States, and our Democratic friends
were ready to justify their faith in the
result by wagers in any amount and at
any odds. That time IS past; now Gree
lev stock is low in the market, and the
man who would invest money on him has
need of guardian. The forced enthu-
siasm has cmphatically played out, as

MAINE ELECTION.

An election was held in Maine on Mon
day the 9th instant, for State Officers
Members of the Legislature and Repre-
sentatives in Congress. The Republicans
have carried the State By about $4,000
majority Governor Perham being re-
elected by an increased majority over last
year of about 5000. The Republicans
have carried every Congressional District
every Senatorial District and about four
fifths of the House of Representatives.
The tidal wave has been such that the
election has gone too strongly Republican
One fifth of the House of Representa-
tives of the State Legislature is not as
much opposition as there ought to be in
the State of Maine, and it will furnish
strong argument in favOr Of minority rep
resentaticn. BY the minority representa-
ton plan Of election, the combined Lib
eral Republicans and Liberal Democrats
might have elected at least one Represen-
tative in Congress and perhaps more than
one Senator and one-ffth of the House Of
Representatives in the Legislature. The
RepublicanLegislature at its next session
ought to be generous and just enough tc
pass law providing for minority repre-
sentaticn in the State of Maine.

LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC LYING
81 LITERALLY ERRONEOUS
WHICH {?

The Kenosha Union of last week says:
The reason why JEFF Davis, was not
tried was because Grant, declared if he
was tried for treason he, would resign.
Grant and not Greeley is the cause of
Davis not being tried and hung. Senator
Wilson, and Greeley said if you wont try
him then he should be bailed or let go on
his own recognizance. No Grant papers
will deny these facts, then why not
change your tune ye Grant men and say
you had just as lief vote for JEFF Davis, as
for Grant. ,~-r .,a--
All Grant papers will deny the state
ments of the Union being facts. We de-
ny that Grant ever declared that if jeff
Davis was tried for treason he would re-
sign,and call on the Union for proof. We
deny that Grant ever opposed the trial of
jeff Davis for treason, and call on the
Union for proof. And we deny that
Grant and not Greeley is the cause of
Davis not being tried and hung, and call
on the Union for proof. "a
General Lee, having surrendered and
being paroled, Gen. Grant was opposed
to his being brought to trial for treason
as long as he kept his parole. He was OPP
posed to putting any paroled rebel officer
or soldier upon trial as long as ne kept
his parole. But Jeff Davis was never pa
rolled. Certainly not by either Gen.
Grant or Gen. Sherman on the surrender
of Gen. Lee or Gen. Johnston with their
respective armies. If JEFF Davis was ever
paroled i. must have been by his flight
said to have been in his wifs's petticoats,
or by being bailed by Horace Greeley.
But that was not the kind of parole that
Grant held should exempt the patrclee
from being put upon trial for treason.
Aud we again deny that Grant ever de-
clared if Jeff Davis was tried for treason
he would resign. that Grant ever opposed
the trial of jeff Davis for treason, and
that Grant and not Greeley is the cause
of Davis not being tried and hung, and
call on the Union for proof.
