ton City, by NJ. +. Conway, ex-mem-
Der OF Congress. Conway fired
three shots at Pomeroy, one taking
effect in the right breast, the others

A Small Tammany Ring In
Iowa.

For q fair specimen OF Tammany
Ring stealing, the reader IN referred
to the School Board Of Carroll
City Of this State. From boyhood
we have been taught that mere high
handed. bold-front aud open steal
ing was done in the western counties
Of Iowa than any where else in the
whole land. At n time it was
indeed thought that "Boss Tweed"
slippery Dick" and the entire Tam.
many gang had at some time lived IN
a county in western Iowa, where
they had served a tutelage prepare
tory to thro1ghly plunderiug the
Treasury of Gotham, which they
have SO faithfully aud effectually
done. There il, however a feature
about the little jobbery carried on in
the west that must be regarded as
strictly peculiar to that locality it is
that these little thefts are never
found out "axes are ground but
no one discovers the traces upon the
stone. We have before us q speck
to the general reader, particularly SO
as the little "lrregularity" can not be
',saddled" upon the shoulders of any
political party. This scrap Of his.
tory, which will be found below is
taken from the public records of the
Carroll City School District, and
shows how much public money can
be used for a given purpose. That
the reader may get a clear idea Of
the records, we follow the spelling.

The proposition to abolish the
electoral college will probably meet
with no opposition from Congress,
for IN its workings it has failed sig
nally to carry out the designs Of the
trainers Of tho National Constitu-
ton.

present red tape mockery, known As
the Electoral College System. There
IS however, one feature In tie third
proposition which we think IL Unfair,
and which we trust Congress will
amend. It il that granting to each
State Of the Union, two Presidential
voters at large It appears more in
consonance with the principles OF our
government, that the number Of
votes for President and Vice Presl
dent should be governed by and IN
| proportion to the actual number Of
voters. What advantage is to b.
derived from voters at large does
not appear; and tho only reason w
see for the committee SO providing il
that each State has two electors Al
large under the present system, and
they do not want to Fart too widely
from the established custom. Th'
general features OF the electoral
scheme are good, and worthy thu
candid consideration of every one
and we trust that Congress vii
adopt some plan before the mex
Presidential election, whereby The
people, and not a few called clsctorl
will elect the President and Vice

road project hal assumed definite
shape, and jay Cooke & Co. were
appointed its fiscal agents, an effort
was made to negotiate heavy loans
OF funds IN Europe for the construc-
tion of the road. Three commits
sioners were named to come to this
country and investigate the project,
but tor SOME unknown cause their
report was never published, and the
funds never secured from European
capitalists. Recently the New York
Tribune published = lengthy report
made by n Of the three commits.
sioners, which sets forth in a clear
manner, the reason of the failure to
get foreign capitalists interested in
the scheme. Much speculation is
INDUCED IN a. to the of the
suppression Of the report until after
the failure Of Jay Cooke & Co., but
the most probable conjecture is that
the corporation, or its fiscal agency,
was instrumental in preventing It's
earlier publication. To state briefly
the point of the report, the commits
sioner alleged as his opinion, that
many years would be required to
elapse before that portion Of the
country through which it was pro.
posed to build the road would be
sufficiently settled to render the re-
ceipts Of The road sufficient to meet
the obligations, to pay the interest
on its bonds. While taking this
view the commissioner was free to
acknowledge the fertility Of the soil
along the proposed line Of road, but
1.-The, and the consequent growth Of
country Mete necessary t. render ad-
visable tie construction Of he road.
That the commisAioner had correct
views Of the building Of the road
can hardly be doubted. The North
Pscifc road il in MANY respects like
many other roads that have been
built during the last decade Of years.
