Some OF the Bohemian Bummers at
Washington who are always finding
mares nests without eggs in them,
have been writing to various Iowa pa
pers that DIR. Wright was appointed
Superintendent Of Indian affairs for
Montana by flank movement Of Sem
ator Harlan's. The Des Moines Re-
publican, which ought to be good au-
thority on that subject, says:
LAS to the appointment of DR..
Wright to succeed Superintendent
Wall we have it upon first authority /:
that Mr.. Wall was not removed but
resigned, and that Mr.. Wright was
appointed TO succeed him upon the re-
commentator and endorsement of
every member of the Iowa delegation
in Congress. That Senator Wright
went in person with the Doctor to see
the Secretary of the Interior upon the
subject with the above endorsements,
and with the endorsement of Gov.
Carpenter, and that Senator Harlan
and Representative Cotton called upon
the President with the Doctor for the
same purpose. So that the Doctors
appointment was one of entire una
nimity on the part Of the delegation Of
Iowa, not because he was Senator
lIarlan's friend, but because he was
deemed to be all excellent man to fill
the position"

The jury IN the Stokes case brought
in verdict, late Saturday night, of
murder in the first degree. 1t is I'm.
dcrstood that the jury stood ten for
this verdict and two for manslaughter
in the Bird degree at the first count
On motion OF Lyman Tremaine, prin-
clpal counsel for the prisoner, the SEN
tence was postponed until to. day.
Stokes is . miserable, ungrnteful
murderer, He was put on his feet BY
Fisk then basely betrayed and
brutally murdered his friend and pa
tron. If any man ever earned the
hangman's halter that man is Edmund
F. Stokes, and it remains to be seen
now whether the amazement at his
sentence by New York jury is to be
followed by another equally unexpect-
cd result, to-wit: his prompt execu-
ton.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. s.
Alta meeting of Democratic Senators
and Representatives, held at Jefferson
City, last night, to determine whether
caucus for the nomination of u. S.
Senator shall be held, committee was
appointed to report rules for caucus
on Friday night. Senatorial aFpirants
were then invited to address the meet

acknowledgements, OF st. Louis county,
Geo. q. Vest, Of Sedalia, Judge Napton
and Gen.1 Edwards, made speeches
expressing their views on national af-
fairs. Neither Senator Blair nor Gen.
Phillips were present. both being too
sick TO attend.
Dispatches say there is prospect
for large lobby in the interest of rail-

the greater part of which will be at
tracted by bill which will soon be in
troduced, to establish Board of Rail-

The Chicago Tribune says that Sec'y
Boutwell, before the Ways and Means
Committee Of the House frankly &C.
knowledged that his celebrated syndi-
cate operation in disposing of bonds OF
the Y. s. was illegal. Here the 1ri-
buae editorially again, as is very COM
mon with it, utters palpable false
hood. The Tribune made great
noise about the syndicate at the time
and of course it must still continue to
for its ears are too long to admit that
it ever erred.
It has become the settled conviction
now among all men Of sense and hon.
esty that Secretary Boutwell's pro-
ceedings in the sale of bonds was legal,
indicious and for the highest interests
OF the country.

Regularity in the milking of COWS is
Of 90 much importance q regularity in

COW 10 relieved Of her milk q great
many times each day. A calf allowed
to remain with its mother will help
itself seven or eight times day. I'm
der s1ch circumstances, the udder of
Of the COW will remain small, and If al
lowed to retain the milk secreted dur
ing twelve hours, feverish symptoms
are likely to be produced. The prac-
tice Of milking cows more than twice
In the twenty-four hours causes the ca
pacity Of the udder to be greatly in
creased, and probably helps in main
tanning the tactical secretion long after
pregnancy has taken place. When,
however, by an artificial system, the
COW has been enabled to retain her
milk without Inconvenience for twelve

gularly every day at the same hour
When tho time for milking arrives, the

speedily removed, the animal suffers

result Of allowing animals to remain
too long unmilked, are indeed, BY no
means Of unfrequent occurrence. It is

point for some days after the animal

St Louis is moving strongly lust
now, or rather some of her citizens
are, to get before the world, the inn
portance of her water route to all
parts Of the world, by means of the
Mississippi River, and to show how it
is for the interest of the Mississippi
Valley producers to seek this cham
mel with their produce. There can be
ITO question that this is the route, and
if the people Of st. Louis were the en-
terprising people that Chicago can
boast of, they would not always be
talking about this great natural adyan-
tage which they possess for the build
ing Of city hardly without peer.
The trouble is, that it is and has been

always is with those who have not
earned. but inherited their wealth. thew
do notrealize its value aud indolence
makes them unable to improve it.

The name OF Hon. w. B. Allison,
Senator-eIect from Iowa, has been
coupled with Credit Mobilier by some
of the Washington letter-writers. II
the investigation is a thorough ono, it
will probably be shown that Credit
Mobilier stock was offered to Mr.. Al
lison at the time the plate was passed
around, and was not accepted by him.
We do not believe that Mr.. Wilson, Of
Iowa, ever had any, although some Of
the Eastern papers say that he had.---
We are confident that Mr.. Allison
never had n dollars interest In It, or
derived dollars profit from it The
late Senator Grimes was an original

ers arc now in session ct Anainosa to
take measures towards the farther
erection Of the new prison, and to pre-
pare for the removal Of some of the
convicts from Fort Madison to Ana.
Inosa. With regard to the necessity
Of these buildings ct the latter place,
the editor of the Waterloo Courier,
who has recently made . thorough i'm.
spectiOn Of the Fort Madison prison
INDUCES IN these remarks:
"Itis certain that less than one-tcnth
Of the cost of the new penitentiary
would have sul1ced to enlarge and
improve the Fort Madison prison to q
capacity equal to the probable wants
for twenty years to come- What need,
then Of new prison 2 Why the pres
ent expenditure Of many hundreds Of
thousands for something not wanted |!
What worse than folly to expond the
public money for anything short Of ab-
solute necessity, particularly Ia times OF
widespread dullness, stagnation, debt,
low prices, exorbitant Interest rates
and dearth Of money. We hazard the
assertion that Iowa will have NO need
Of new prison for ten years and
that with IN expenditure ON the pres
emit one Of an amounte qual only to the
interest on the cost Of the new, 1t
would b. ample for twenty years. =
: Il would b good policy TO sns-
pend further operations ct present
certainly until such time O. that to prO-
ceed with Il will not add largely to
the interest bearing burden Of orr
people who are already taxed to the
uttermost Of their endurance. Such q
policy Acquires much additional weight
from the fact that the new penitentiA-
~ protest IL 10 such incompetent
hands"
The Coxyier states further, that the
Superintendent of the work on the
new prison IL incompetent; that the
stone quarry which cost the State
$l6, O00, could have been purchased for
half that sum, and that the quarry.
costing three times % much - It ought,
10 valueless to the State.
II the C03rter's statements are true,
then the people OF the Stsfe Of Iowa
ought to know it. We repeat here
