Letter From Davis County, Iowa,


Mr.. EDITOR: Believing that many OF
your readers in Monroe County are
looking westward for homes, and fear.
ing to venture for fear of society in the
west, l feel it my duty to write a few
lines in regard to prospects Vest
There is rough society in some local..
ties, but no one in the East can realize
the amount of good society, religious
and literary advantages that some por.
tons of the west afford, far SURPRISING
Monroe county in like advantages.
Much of Missouri is rough. A great
portion of Kansas is not agricultural
land, and society is not settled fully
But to those desiring home in the
West I could recommend Davis county
Iowa, for combination OF soil, timber
coal, water, health, society, and relig.
ious and literary advantages. Bloom
field, the county seat, has about 2,00C
population. 1t has several fine chur.
ches, and large school buildings, they
maintain nine months free school every
year. There is also a good nerma
school at Troy, about ten miles south
of Bloomfield, in a locality noted fol
healthiulness, and for the moral and
religious sentiment of the citizens
Land is cheap here, good improved lane
in some instances sell for less than cos
of improvements. The soil is good
producing all kinds of small grains
The wheat here looks well and promises
a yield of IS or 80 bushels per acre mex
harvest There is also plenty of wili
game, consisting of deer, turkeys, chick
ems, quails, squirrels DC. Should any
of your readers desire information witt
regard to this part of Iowa, l will giv'
such information as am able on re
ceipt Of two cent stamps.
THos GREENBANK.

The President,s Message.

We pnblish elsewhere full synopsis
xet all the, lealiRgs points in GRANTS
Message. We are satisfied that not one
in fifty Of our readers desires more than
this. In these days Of railroads and tel
esraphs and newspaper enterprise, no
one expects anything very new OF start,
ling in public documents, as all leading
events are nearly as we'll and as early
known to intelligent newspaper reader;
as to the departments.
As an exposition of party principles
or as presage of the probable actor
of Congress, GRANTS messages have
even less significance than politica
platform; for it is well known his re
commentators are laughed at and ig
nored by Congress, and, when he want!
bill passed. he has to button hole mem
bers just like any other lobbyist working
a job through.
"a There are, however, two or three
things in the message worthy Of atten
ton chiefly because they tend to confirm
the oft repeated allegation that GRAN,
and his party are pcrsisten,ly working
to cen:ralize power in the general gov
ernment, stealing away chat power from
the States and from the people.
He wants the general government t.
own and control all telegraph lines ant
: to make of the post-offices some descrip
tipn of savings banks.
gt, After the telegraphs and banks, o
course will follow railroads, then canals
then steamboats, and chips, and then
every thing else. This scheme has bn
one recommendation. 1t would increas

Settlement Between Spain aud
the United States.

tne united States.
WASHINGTON. Nov 29-Negotiations
between the United States and Spain
with regard to questions growing out of
the capture Of the Virginius were
brought to conclusion to-day, Secre-
tary Fish and Admiral Polo having
agreed upon and signed a protocol,
which the latter soon after telegraphed
to his Government. 1t can now be
positively stated that the terms are sub
stantially as follows:
First-Immediate delivery to the
United States Of the ship virginius and
all surviving passengers and crew.
Second-Salu.e to our flag on the
18th Of December next, unless iii the
meantime Spain shall satisfy the United
States that the American flag was im-
properly borne on that vessel; and fur
ther, that she had no right to the Amer
ican flag or American papers. In this
event the salute is to be spontaneously
withdrawn, and Spain is to formally
disclaim any Intentional indignity to
our flag in the acts committed by Spain
against the Virginius.
Third-If it shall thus be shown that
the Virginius had no right to carry the
American dag aud papers, the United
States will institute proceedings against
the vessel and the surviving parties who
have violated the laws of the United
States, and Spain guarantees to insti-
tute proceedings against any of her au.
thorities who may have violated either
law or treaty stipulations.
Fourth-The matter of reclamations
for damages is reserved for future con.
sideration.
In addition to the above, 1t can also
be stated positively that within the
next two days Secretary Fish and the
Spanish Minister will determine the
port at which the virginius and survi
wing passengers and crew shall be de
livered to the United States.
The words immediate release" as
applicable to the delivery of the Virgin.
ius, and the surviving passengers and
crew, implies, of course, reasonable
time for its execution, as some days
must elapse before Havana and Santiago
de Cuba can be reached.
The agreement is regarded in Official
quarters as covering all the points ot
all original demands, though in modi
fed form, which it is considered respect
full and honorable to both countries
The fixing Of the 25th of December as
the time of saluting our flag is to allow
the necessary opportunity to Spain tc
show that the Virginius improperly car
ried our colors and our papers. There
is great relief felt in all quarters thai
the negotiation has thus peacefully en-
ded. Both Secretary Fish and Admi
raj Polo had for weeks past been enga-
ged in producing this result, in which
they receive the congratulations of theil
respective friends.

There prevails general feeling Of in
dignation and disgust at the appoint
ment by GRANT Of Attorney General
WILLIAMS to the office of Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United
States. GRANT has distinguished him
self for making the very worst lot of ap-
pointments ever heard of MANY coun.
try. This WILLIAMS was made Attorney
General, not because he had any fitness
for the place, but solely because he was
a supple tool of the President, and was
out of place.
1t will be remembered that GRANT ap.
pointed two other Judges of that Court,
selecting men without regulations, and
whose only qualifications were that to
favor certain corporations they would
overrule certain decision of the Court
in regard to the legal tender law.
The Cincinnati Commercial expresses
a prevailing public sentiment in the fol-
lowing style:
ave desire to speak Of this nomina.
ton in terms of moderation, becoming
its seriousness, but we are bound to say
that it is stupid and disgraceful. Il
should be scornfullv rejected by the Sen
ate. Williams owes his success to per.
sistent toadying to the President,to Boss
Shepherds Improvement Ring, and to
petty social influences. Williams is one
of the rapidly enriched men of the Dis
trict-a man of no capacity as states.
man, n,and of little reputation as lawyer.
All who have wished the President and
the country well, have sought to encour
age, to fatter,to persuade Grant to come
up, in the appointment of the Chief JUS
lice, to the level Of the popular estima.
tion of the Office. All has been in vain
FIe has distinguished himself as he did
in the selection of his first Cabinet. In
the matter of appointments he is incapa
BILE of common sense. The Cabinet, as
il stands, is ludicrous The only man in
it Of even second class standing is Fish
and Williams must be selected from the
squad of Presidential favorites and made
Chief Justice! This is about on pal
with the Senatorial honors bestowed up
on Caligula's horse.
"The country is shamed by the ap
pointment Of this man, who has never
rendered apublic service either conspic
unus or memorable. There is no act o
his life: no merit as lawyer. no fame a.
a pleaaer, no reputation as jurist, nc
force of character or strength of mind
no record, no hopes, to warrant or ex
cuse this preposterous appointments
which we can only say at last, that it i
eminently characteristic of Presiden
Grant"
