Grain Transportation via tho Missis-
sippi.

The following correspondence
which we find in the Dcs Moines
Republican, will prove interesting
to all who arc seeking for light upon
the question of cheap transporta-
ton to the sea-board. 1t gives what
may be regarded as reliable infor-
nation regarding the climatic
obstacles in the way of grain ship
ments by way of New Orleans:
J. II. OGLEsRY, President Cham.
Der of Commercc,-Dear Sir -
There was one subject which pro-
posed for discussion by the mem
bers of your Board, at our meeting
on the steamer below New Orleans,
which was not discussed for want
OF time. Its Importance to our
people Of the Northwest as we'll as
to your own export trade, justifies
me in recalling your attention to it..
1t was said, that with free and
certain access by ocean vessels to
New Orleans, the grain delivered on
barges upon the Mississippi, and
transferred at New Orleans, could
be delivered in the port of Liver
pool at less cost than it can be
delivered in New York at current
railroad rates.
But it has been said heretofore,
and since my return home, that,
whatever may be the cost of trans
portation, by the Mississippi, grain
cannot be safely shipped during the
market season by the Southern ex-
port route, owing to the climate of
the Gulf coast.
On these two points I beg trust
worthy information from your
knowledge and long experience in
New Orleans.
should also be greatly obliged
if Mr.. Highly, the proprietor of the
elevator in your city, would furnish

How will this law affect the Iowa
farmer? To get his produce through
the State of Illinois will cost him
nearly double what it did before. 1t
takes from 5 to I cents from every
bushel of wheat more than the old
tariff did, and all othe grain in pro-
portion. 1t helps the Illinois far
mer, who lives near Chicago mar
kets, but the farther away he lives
the worse 1t is for him-if his pro-
duce goes there at all. 1t will keep
millions of bushels from going there

In apapcr read before the press
association at indianapolis the other
day, Prof. w. A. Bell said: "In
this live age, the man WHO does not
read at least one newspaper, is
dead, and ought to be buried" And
he might have added that the man
who does not take and pay for his
county paper ought to die, or move
out on the plains where there is no
paper published, no mail and no
neighbours West Union Gazette.
And there are many men who
deliver with great positiveness and
assurance, their views upon public
questions, who do not take or read
a single paper. Some of this class
are endeavor.ng to make head
against grinding monopolies, man
aged by sharp, shrewd, we'll posted,

They read nothing on the subject,

some way. They arc easily de-
ceived as to facts, and liable to be
tho prey of every dcmagoguc who
is INSCRIPTIONS enough to misrcp-
resent facts, and base enough to play
upon their passions; and all this be-
cause they are "too poor" to take

The following are tho resolutions

Convention at Dcs Moincs, on Wed.
nesday. We commend them to the
pcrusal Of those who have doubted
that the Republican party would
take advanced ground on the qucs,

The Republicans of Iowa, in con

They hold the Republican party
to be political organization Of
those American citizens who arc
opposed to slavery in all its forms;
who believe that all men arc enti-
tied to the same political and civil
rights; who believe that laws, State
and National, should be made and
administered SO as to secure to all
citizens, whercsocvcr born or what
soeycr their color, creed or occupa-

who believe in free schools,

lean society and tho American poo
pie should all be raised to the
highest possible plane of liberty,
honesty, purity, intelligence and
morality, and that all laws should
be made and the Government con-
stantly administered with this aim
in view, and that no party has a
right to the support Of the people
which is not inspired with this
purpose. Believing that the Re-
publican party is still controlled by
these principles, and that it is now,
as it has been from the beginning,
an organization of the best and

Death Of DR.. White.

The newspaper fraternity Of Iowa
will receive the announcement of
the sudden and unexpected death of
DR.. J. H. White, business manager
of the Davenport Gazette, on Satur-
day last, with the most profound
feelings of sorrow and regret. 1t
has been our privilege to meet DR..
White at the annual meetings of the
press association. In this inter-
course we have learned to respect
him for his ability and sound iudg-
ment on matters pertaining to the
profession, as we'll as to esteem him
for his genial nature and courteous
bearing. His loss to tho Gazette,
and to Davenport, as well as to the
profession of Journalism, will not be
easily estimated.

FROM IOWA CITY,
mmenoement Of the Iowa State
Unlversity.

EDITOR BULLETIN Having made o
visit to our alma mater at Iowa City this
week, we thought that it might interest
some of your readers to hear Of what has
been going on during commencement, or
rs Iowa Citians would say, "attic week"
This is the 10Th annual commencement
of Iowa State University, and for an in.
stitution so young, its growth and com.
plcteness in instruction in its various de.
partmcnts is unsurpassed by any of our
American institutions Of learning. The
people ofIowa feel that this is their institu.
ton, and with their characteristic ideas
of advancement and progress, have given,
and we hope they will continue to give
it, their liberal support. The youth Of
Iowa need not go abroad now for the
highest standard Of learning, we have it
in our own young State, both literary
and professional.
SATURDAY, JUNE TWENTY.FIRST,
At about six o'clock, p. NJ, the stirring
music of the brass band called a large
audience to the east front of Center Hall,
where the students of the Law DEPART
mcnt were holding their class day excr-
ciscs. Mr. Russell, President of the &C.
casion. delivered an irresis,ably funny in.
troduct0ry speech, which was followed
by more sober and thoughtful salutato.
ny by Mr.. Kelley. Mr. Lander, poet of
the occasion, read poem that had the
merit Of brevity, smooth vcrsificatiOn,
and much wit, whilst it was read in good
voice and style. A verse or two, chosen
at random, will show its style:
Hail! We legal connolsseurs,
Hail the day that now insures
The honest need of victory yours;
Hail this bandi
Cast aside the cap and gown,
Lay your OnerOus burdens down,
And don the laurel wreath and crown;
In manhOOd's power!
Goodbye to themes so tritc and rusty,
Good. bye to Blackstone, rather musty,
Goodbye professors, tried and trusty;
And classmates ALL
Our chosen cOurse we'll soon pursue,
HE to fresh fields and pastures new,
And, heaven born, drop down like dew
To rise Or fall!
Mr. Burr was next introduced, and
spoke of the desire of men to be remem.
bered, as one Of the strongest incentives
of human action. It enters into the
sports of childhood, and the graver pur.
suits of manhood. All are animated by
it-memorials of it fill the world. Mar
bic and mausoleum, wherever the names
are erased by time, and wherein the
bones have gone to dust, the towering
shaft and frowning pyramid each show
how deeply this desire has fixed itself in
the human heart. Many arc the avenues
through which fame is sought; politics,
art and science bear footprints centuries
old of those who worshipped at the shrine
of fame. But Of the millions who have
come and gone, how few nave left name
bchindy Why! is perhaps told by the
poet when he says: "Wouldst thou win
fame, shun It not, nor seek it, but press
on, and if thy course be just thou shalt
win, and fame be added as q trophy"

REGARDING the delay and difficult
ty in the way of arranging a tariff
for the Illinois Central railroad, the
Chicago Inter- Ocean of Monday
says:
The General Freight Agent of the
Illinois Central railway experiences
great difficulty in arranging his ia
riff to the new law. The law op-
crates with greater severity upon
the Illinois Central than upon any
other line in the category of Illinois
railways. 1t is an an axiom in rail
way circles that the shortest road
establishes the rate, and as the ILL
nois Central and its tributaries are
intcrsected by multiarious shorter
lines, it is absolutely at their con.
troll so far as freight is concerned.
The schedule for portion of this
road had been prepared, but it was
discovered that the rate at Dixon on
the Northwestern road, was higher
than at Freeport. The Central road
crosses at both places, Freeport be-
ing the greater distance from Chi
cago. 1t was impossible, in accor-
dance with the provisions of the
law, for the Illinois Central to put
their rate at Dixon in excess of that
at Freeport, and yet taking the
Northwestern rates as they had been
established, it was the only way by
which the Illinois Central could OBJ
tain any traffic. The only way to
settle this matter was by inducing
the Northwestern either to put down
it's rate at Dixon or to raise it at
Frceport. The tariff was Withdrawn,
and on Saturday the freight agent
of the Central was trying to effect
some arrangement by which this diff
ficulty could be met.
