Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1873-10-03

A SPECIAL correspondent of the
New York Times, sent out 70 report
the political situation in Iowa,
writes very fair and impartial ac-
count of what he has seen and heard
concerning the drift of parties and
questions in this State. Concern
ing the Oranges and the new party
movement, he makes the following
observations, the general correct
ness of which, and the evidence
which they give of the correspon-
dents intelligent comprehension of
the condition of affairs, will be gen.
orally acknowledged:
the Patrons Of Husbandry are
not political party. and as an or.
ganization aft late with none. They
emphatically take no stock" in the
Anti-Monopely' movement, whose
State Convention brought forth
a sickly bantling of ga now party
few weeks ago; nor can that move
ment be said to have the counter
ance of any considerable portion o.
Individual Patrons. The great mass
of them do act and will act witt
the Republican Party in support O
the State ticket, the candidate.
thereon having been tried and fount
true and in sympathy with the jus
demands of our producing classes
The legislative nominations are be
ing made under Grange influence
as there is hardly a county in tn,
State where the "Patrons' do no
practically control the Republica,
organization. The specific can't
Monopoly party of Iowa is compos
ed mainly Of the rump of last year.
"Liberal'' faction, combined with
few disappointed Republican coun
ty politicians, and the Anti onop
oily" County conventions are mad,
up of Democrats, "soreheaded'
local leaders, and impracticabl,
"Grangers." That the railway cor
porations do not fear this "new par
ty" is too palpable for doubt.

The Plague-strioken City.

The appalling scourge of yellow
fever is yet raging with unabatad
fury at Shreveport, La. A dispatch
from the ill-fated town dated the
goth, nit, states that within four
days past, several Of its prominent
citizens have fallen victims to the
epidemic. The population has been
fearfully thinned out by death.
Funerals are no longer the rule.
Hearses followed by one or two car
riages dash through the street like
section of artillery seeking po-
sition in a battle. Collins are hur-
riedly showed into the hearse, and
driven rapidly to the cemetry.
deaths are less frequent, because
there are fewer people to be attack
ed. The Howard Association have
established an orphans asylum.
A committee Of physicians appoint
cd to investigate the origin of tho
epidemic, have ascertalned that it
was imported from Cuba. The
Howard Association have issued
the following appeal for help:
To OUR FELLOW CITIZENS:
The yellow fever epidemic has
swept away more than 400 of this
community; and is still raging with
undated fury in our midst. We
have now at least 700 hundred sick,
of all ages, sexes, colors, and ma
tionalities. All of them-from the
prevalence and character of this
disease-require constant nursing.
In addition to this there are hun
dreds of people left without a cent
and without employment, amongst
these women and little children. All
of them must for the present be pro-
vidcd for by the Howard Associa-
ton, for there is no work to do and
no money to be had. the destitu-
ton in our midst is appalling. AS
the disease and destitution are both
fearful, the drain upon our friends
of the association has thus been
and as the liberal aid
sent us by our sister cities is nearly
exhausted, under these painful cir
we are forced to make
this general appeal to the country
for additional aid. We have peo-
pie among us suffering, in want and
dying, from all sections of the I'm.
ion and from all nations. We feel
that the great public heart will re-
spond to this appeal, extorted by
the most dire necessity. Our own
treasury is nearly exhausted, the
nurses are broken down, the poor
are threatened with actual starva-
ion, the sick and dying are de-
orlved of the commonest comforts
can render them.

The Anti-Monopoly State Cen
trail Committee, after a world of
trouble, have at last found on the
Missouri slope an obscure individu-
al, who consents to accept political
martyrdom as their candidate for
Lieutenant Governor. His name is
G. E. Whiting, and he lives in Mo
mona county. The Dubuque Herald
trots out it's most complimentary
phrases in his honor, and discovers
in him at once the consummate
statesman, the generous, high mind
ed, noble citizen, and the one ingre-
dient needed to give power to the
principles of the new party. This
gushing eulogy from such source
was suspicious. The Herald would
not, under ordinary circumstances,
slobber over the candidates OF
party which, in its secret heart, it
despises, and only consents to toler-
ate as an instrument to break up the
Republican party. We find the
secret spring of its praise for Mr..
Whitney in the fact that he was. an
old-fashioned secession Democrat
in days gone by. The Sioux City
Journal, the editor of which is IA
yored with the personal acquain-
lance of the new candidate of the
Anti Monopolists, alludes in terms
of respect to his general intelli-
gence and nnexceptionable private
character, and adds:
"Politically, Mr.. Whiting has al
ways been a Democrat. He is a
southern man by birth and educa-
ton, and at the outbreak of the war
was quite active in his expressions
of sympathy for the cause Of the
South. His course was such as to
render him very unpopular among
the people of his county; and as
the cause of the South weakened
and became hopeless, Mr.. Whiting
dropped out of politics"

EPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
More Tax List Demagogury.

The Conservative two weeks
since, copied from the Dubuque
Times an article relative to the past
history of tax lists in that county,
which may have been just, as APP
piled to the peculiar situation in
Dubuque county, but which. as APP
piled by the Conservative to the
practice in this and other counties
in the State, was flagrantly dishon-
est and uncandid: The basis of the
article is the following extract from
the law relating to the printing of
tax lists passed by the Legislature
in 1861: .,-
SEC. 4.-The county shall pay
the cost of publication, but it shall
be the duty of the Treasurer to act
in good faith, and to secure the pub
LEGATION of the said delinquent tax
list for the loacest SUM IN his po,cer,
&c.
The Conservative, assuming for
its purpose that the above section
has been in force ever since it's pas.
sage, goes on to arraign the county
officials for violation of their duty,
and plainly intimates that, because
Of their refusal to be governed by
this law of 1861, thousands Of dol
lars" have been illegally taken from
the people of the county. Now the
truth is-and the Conservative
gives no uttcrance to it, because it
would interfere with its dishonest
purpose to infame the minds of
its readers, by creating wrong i'm
pression--the truth is that the law
of 1861 was repealed in 1864, and
the following substituted in its
stead:
SEC. 2.-Thc compensation for
printing the delinquent tax list,
under the direction of the County
Treasurer, as required by section
764, of the Revision Of 1860, shall
from and after the taking effect OF
this act, be at the rate of tscenty
cents for each tract of real property
advertised for sale, &c.
This enactment of 1864 has been
in force ever since, until at the
last session of the Legislature, its
phraseology was slightly altered.
The "shall be- of the later law is
just as imperative as that of the
first, and it will be seen that under
it's provisions, the County Treasurer
has no alternative but to pay the
price for publishing the tax list
fixed by the law. These are the
whole facts in the matter; yet, to
serve a partisan purpose, the Con-
sercatice chooses to suppress por-
ton of them. In law and ethics,
ssppessio veri, a suppression of the
truth is 4 suggestion of a falsehood,
and in this attitude of political
trickery our contemporary appears,
not for the first time.

For the Bulletin.

For the Bulletin.
A writer the Conservative among
other statements assets that Gov.
Carpenter is a member of the Board
of Trustees of the Agricultural Col
lege and Gf the writer is rightly in
formed) chairman too, "and as
such it was his duty as we'll as his
business to see that proper security
was given for the funds" Yhe
statement is that it is the duty of
the chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees to see that the funds are prop
erly secured. This statement is
correct, and it is the law relative to
the matter Now it seems that the
Governor is not by law an acting
member of the said Board at all, as
is proved by the meeting of the
Trustees Of the Agricultural Col
lege, and of the Insane Hospital at
Independence, and of the Insane
Hospital at Mt. Pleasant, of all of
which the Governor is an er-ofScto
member, being fixed By law upon
the same day.
1t also turns out that the Govern
or is not the Chairman of the Board
of trustees of the Agricultural Col
lege. The law makes the President
of the College, Chairman of the
Board, and President WEIGH has
been the Chairman ofthc said Board
for several years, and during all the
time the Rankin trouble was brew
ing. He is connected with no 9TH
err institution and it was his special
dutu to see that Rankin's bond was
all right. Now l ask E. G. B. ifhe
is an honest man, to divert his abuse
from the man who is legally and
morally innocent, to the man who is
by law responsible, and don't spare
him because he stands before his
audience and reads his speech, cloth
ed in the regalia ola Patron of Hus-
bandry. JUSTICE.

The New York Graphic referring
to the firm refusal Of the President
to violate his duty and the law, by
issuing the $44,ooo,ooo greenback
reserve at the dictation of the Wall
Street brokers, makes good point
against the New York Herald and
other papers who have been trying
to exotic the country by the silly
talk about Grants Casarisln. It
says:
1t should be remembered that, at
the now famous conference between
the President and our leading CAPT.
talists concerning the financial con-
dition of the country, it was the SOL
der who steadily refused to listen
to the capitalists who urged them to
exercise illegal power. President
Grant could have thrown into the
market, the entire reserve fund of
the currency. He was urged and
entreated to do so, but simply an
swered that the act would be an H.
legal one, and, therefore, it would
be impossible for him to give the
desired order.
The folly of the pretenco that the
liberties of the country are in dan
ger from General Grant, or that
there is the slightest reason to dread
a military President, ought to be ap-
parent to those who can read the
meaning ofthe Presidents refusal
to exercise arbitrary power. Who
was it that, accustomed by his very
military training to obedience to
lawful authority, refused to issue
the desired currency? twas Gen
eral Grant, our military President.
Who was it that urged him to disre-
gard law in the interests of the Wall
street capitalists? 1t was Commo-
dore Vanderbilt, the railway king,
and men of a like character. The
men who look with contempt upon
the restrictions of law when their
personal interests are thwarted are
the millionaires, who have found
it such an easy matter to own and
govern lawmakers. 1t is from them
and the moneyed corporations which
they control that the country is to
look for danger. tits Crecus and
not Caesar whom we need to dread.
