A great deal is now being said by the
Liberal Republicans and their allie
the Democrats, about military rule and
military rings In this country. If we
understand the dl1H Of N this COZ.
plant, it is ali attsBk uren the Repub-
lican party, becaise 50 many Of the
Union soldiers Of the late rebellion,
have so much to dowith the adminisA
tration Of national, State and county az
fairs. We are aware, that it is not
very boldly declared that the men who
fought tho battles OF the country, have
boon and are being too much honored
by d grateful people, but we think we
can plainly discern ftesa the general
tone, as well as from the sentiments
expressed by agreat many, who as civ
ilians, did their part in the suppress.
ion of the rebellion at home. but who
now covet many Offices filed by SOL
dicrs, that they are actnated by the
feeling that soldiers arc receiving too
much from the hands of the people.

thought the soldiers merited much in

article Of Monday last, to which MI.
Richie replies, was written without
any knowledge that q convention had
been called. bntnpon the superstition
that the meeting here was only for
consultation, leaving the matter still
undetermined. We received no notice
and had no idea that the convention
was called, until yesterday p. m. when
we received too late for Yesterdays
paper, q printed slip from the Oskaloo.
So Hercld Office, containing the call.
Ofcourse had we known that the con-
vention was called, our article OF the
18th would have been superfiuous and
we should not have written ii. We
are very sorry that Wapello and Keo-
kuk counties were not represented,
and especially that our member had no
knowledge Of the meeting. The chair
man,of our County Central Commit
tee, resides out Of the city, and though
we have endeavored to see him, We
have been unable to do SO, and there
fore may not at this late hour be able
TO get the. call for our township and
county conventions in this weeks issue
which is published tomorrow morn
ing. The shortness Of the time given,
we fear, will admit of but one publi-
lotion, in some of our weekly papers
in the district, before the time Of hold
ing the township conventions will be-
come necessary.

VIM. Cullen Bryant Of the N. Y.
Post in speaking of the forth COM
ing meeting at New York City, on the
Goth inst, Of the Free Trade element,
to consult in regard to what course to
pursue, says:
What the gentlemen who are to
come together next week may soy or
do, neither they nor we, nor any body
else, can tell; but they will not make
that meeting 3 meeting for the ratifi-
cation Of the nominations at Cincin-
natl. Whatever else they may do,
they certainly will not do that, They
have been made fools once by others,
and they do not propose TO come to-
gether now with a deliberate intention
of making fools Of themselves In pre-
cieely the same way. The meeting is
called with a purpose, whereas It
would be called without one If those
who signed the call could possibly re-
concile themselves to what has been
done at Cincinnati.
Bryant with Brinkerho6; Hoadiey
and Mathews, of Ohio, and o host Of
Others like them arc of the number
who took part in the Cincinnati Con-
vention, with the hope that they were
- have as asresnlt something that
would suit them. They repndate the
Greelcy and Brown ticket and pro-
nounce it . swindle and fraud. They
now want to hatch up something to
let them out Of their dilemma. 1t APP
pears to US that il will be highly pro-
bable that another Frank Blair will
spoil all their well laid plans and SO
nothing come OF 1t. If however they
should conclude to hold another Ma
tional Convention, We shall regret it
on account of its delaying the State
Republican Convention in Iowa, as it
seems the holding Of our State Con-
ventiOn is to be deferred until all the
National Conventions are over.

shall proceed as by the terms Of the
Treaty provided, or the whole thing
be abandoned. We have carsfnlly ne.
rused the correspondence botW ecn Sec:
rotary Fish and Earl Granville, and
upon the conclusion Of the residing, We
were fully :satisfiod withst hs course i Of
our government and were highly
gratified with the marked ability dis.
played by Mr.. Fish. A careful read.
lug Of this correspondence will nota.
bly, impress any candid man that Mr..
Fish all along has had the nd.
vantage OF his opponent. We are de-
cidediy Of the opinion that our govern.
ment has done all that could In reason
be asked, to dispose Of this vexed
question, and that 1t is time that the
matter be disposed of without further
parleying. In our opinion England
might as well now conclude TO 70 on

sires the treaty should not fail, for
Grant we are satisfied, win not change

Of tho treaty.
The President is not the man TO tri.

and if Earl Granville snpposes that
still further changes win be gained BY
his dogge,l pertinacity, he is quite
mistaken. We do not apprehend that
hostilities win follow q failure TO cd.

expect that our government will seize
upon the first favorable opportunity to
obtain amends. Il il . long lane that

PARIS, Evening, October l4.-Ther
is great excitement in this city tonight
based upon rumors of the threatens,
Imperialist reaction previously men,
toned in these dispatches.
M. Thiers to-day received box o
bombs, accompanied by an anonymous
letter, which contained the following
words: Zone thousand boxes of these
bombs have been sent into PARIS" The
Government is taking extraordinary
precaution to guard against surprise
Troops are being stationed in the sus-
pected quarters and a strict surveillance
is being kept over persons known to be
friends of the Empire. 1t is believed in
official circles that the excursion OF
Prince Napoleon from France checked
the operations of the Bonapartists, but
they are still plotting and will undoubt-
edly develop their plans without delay,
in order, if possible, to forestall any
further interference by the Government.
NJ. Theirs had a prolonged conference
with Marshal Mcmahon and other
members OF the permanent commission
this afternoon. The commission will
meet for further deliberation to morrow.

Boils are said to be healthy" and
Judging from the way they take hold
ani lang on, and ache, and burn, and
grow, and raise Cain generally, there is
no doubt they are healthy, and have
strong constitutions. They are gener.
ally very lively and playful at night
and it is very funny to see chap with
. good large one prospecting around his
couch for place where his boil will fit
in without hurting" Boils tend to
"purify the blood" strengthen the sys-
tenn, calm the nerves, restrain the pro
family, tranquilize the spirits, improve
the temper, and besutify the appear
ance. They are good things for mar
red men who spend their evenings from
home, as they give them an opportu-
nifty to rest their night keys and get
acquainted with their families. 1t is
said that boils save the patient a "fit of
sickness" but il the sickness is not the
best to have, it must be an all fired mean
thing. 1t is also said that person is
better after he has them, and there is
no doubt that one does feel better after
having got rid OF them. Many distin.
guished persons have enjoyed these
harbingers OF good health. Job took
the first premium at the county fair Tor
having more acres under cultivation
than any other person. Shakespeare
had them, and meant boils when he
said, "One woe doth tread upon an-
others heels, so fast they follow"

ed is found to be fully as high as is
warranted by the evidence.
Upon the whole case, therefore, the
award ought not to be disturbed.
There is no other ground Of equity
Jurisdiction set up in the bill, unless the
Court should be of opinion to set the
award aside, but as this Court fails to
see any good cause to set the award
aside, the other questions cannot be
considered.
The question as to the sufficiency or
lnsufficiency Of the award on account
OF but two of the arbitrators signing it,
cannot be determined by this Court for
want of jurisdiction.
The judgment complained OF will
have to be affirmed with damages and
