A Prominent Convert.

Iowa is having a political sensa-
ton. General George w. Jones,
once United States Senator, and a
gentleman of great ability aud wide
influence, has seeded from the Dem,
ocratic party, and, as he expresses
il, marched into the ranks of its
opponents" In a lengthy letter to
Hon. James Harlan, he states his
reason for so doing, and concludes as
follows:
II, at least, for one, can stand it
no longer, and will march out, and
into the ranks of our opponents, who
are true to themselves at least if not
to the whole country, which has
sooken in thunder tones, not to be

How Governor K,rkwood Onos Rode
Into Washington, Iowa.
tFrom the Cedar RapId- Repnblicsnl.


1t was prior to the days of general
railroading in Iowa. The Republi-
cans had nc minated Samuel J. Kirk.
wood, ard the Democrats, Augustus
Cesar Dodge, for Governor of the
State. A joint discussion had been
arranged to take place at Washing
ton, and the candidates were hourly
expected TO come, each 10 a private
conveyance from the place of their
last discussion. Only one man in
the town owned fine "turn.out."
and he was Democrat. 1t was de
cided to go out to meet Mr.. Dodge
at the brow of the neighboring bill.
and escorted him to town "in state"
The Republicans. hearing of this,
were a. first cast down, as the Dem
ocrats bad stolen a march on them.
Bnt it occurred to them. since they
could not rival their opponents, they
would burlesque them. So they
pressed into service a four-ox team.
hired fife and drum and went out
to meet the Republican candidate.
The latter was no little astonished
as he neared tho top of the hill, men
toned above, at seeing a four-horse
carriage and four.ox wagon wait
ing on either side of the road. The
Democrat, as good luck would have
it, was far in the rear. Kirkwood
learning the situation, left his own
team, and was escorted into town on
a four-ox wood-wagon with martial
music, and the applause that greeted
him as be approached the public
square, where the crowd was assem-
bled, showed how the joke was ap-
preciated. When Dodge arrived
in his fine carriage, he was received
in silence, and, it is said, was so
chopfallen at the unexpected turn of
affairs, that he did not do himself
half justice 10 the joint discussion
that followed.

What the Investigation may Devel-
Op,

The New York Tribune'S Wash
ington correspondent telegraphs that
if the Credit Moblier business is
thoroughly ventilated by the com.
mittee, there is good reason for be-
lieving that the facts will be found
to be about as follows:
First. That the letters of Cakes
Ames are genuine, and that he was
engaged in placing the Credit Mooi>
lier stock among the members of
Congress, as he stated in those let.
:ers.
Second. That the penciled list of
names on the back of one Of the let
tiers comprised partial list of the
men TO whom he intended to offer the
stock, not Of those who bad actually
accepted il.
Third. That be did offer the
stock to many, if not oil, Of the men
who figures on his list, and to q num-
Der of other Congressman and that
some accepted it, while others refus
ed.
Fourth. That the offer was made
in such an ingenious and plausible
way that several members were de-
ceived into believing it TO be legili.
mate affair of business and not case
of bribery, knowing that it is not un-
usual for prominent public men to be
let into a good thing in stock specu-
latiop, as an act of friendship to-
ward them only. But that there
were some who took the stock who
were we'll aware that they were sell
ing their votes, and that they acted
accordingly 10 all questions of Iegis>
lation in which the railroad was in
terested.
Fifth. That 10 all cases where the
stock was actually transferred, the
nominal price asked was paid in
money, but that this price was ont
of all proportion to the real value OF
the stock, and that the purchasers
were more than re-im bursed by the
first dividend.
