We demand Congressional and Legis-

we demand Congressional and Legis-
lative enactments that Will control
and regulate the railroads of the coun-
try, and give to the people fair rates of
transportation, and protect them
against existing abuses.
Resolved, 4th, That we heartily ap-
plaud the active measures of the late
Congress, in ferretting out and expos
ing corruption. We have seen with
profound regret, In the developments
made thereby, evidence Of political
and official corruption and the abuse
of responsible positions by men of all
political parties to further personal
ends and we demand pure official con-
duet, and the punishment Of unfaith-
full public men who having betrayed
the confidence freely extended to
them, shall not be shielded irony the
disgrace of their acts by any partizan-
ship Of ours, and we denounce all Gre
dit Mobilier transactions and all Off
cial misconduct of whatever form.
Resolved. 5th, That we believe that
, whenever a person holding any posi-
ton Of trust given him 10y the people
| is guilty of fraud or ENLIGHTENMENT, he
| should be convicted and punished un-
| der the criminal laws of our land in
| addition to the recovery from him or
| his bondsmen of the amount so embez-
zled.
| Resolued, 9th, That the act Of the
majority of the members of the last
| Congress, in passing what is known as
the back-pay steal, by which they vo-
ted into their pockets thousands OF
dollars which did not belong to them,
as well as the act of those who voted
against the same and vet received the
money, is most flagrantly improper
aud infamous, and should secure the
1 political condemnation of all who
were party to it; and we demand that
the provisions of the said act by which
the salaries were increased shall be
promptly and Internationally re-
| pealed.
Resolpcd, 7th, That we sympathize
| with every movement to secure fol
Agriculture and Labor their due influ
ence, interests and rights, and the Re
publican party will be their ally il
every Just effort to attain that end.
Rcsolred, Sth, That we are DESTROYS
of political reform and for honesty
economy and purity in all official at
minstration that tosecure this is thu
duty of every citizen; that to this
end every good man should feel bount
to participate in politics, and to make
an end to bad men forcing their elec
ton by securing u party nomination
we declare it the duty of every Re
publican to oppose the election of ;
bad and incompetent candidate
whether he be a candidate upon ouI
own OF upon any other ticket.

Republican Platform.

The Republicans OF Iowa.. in Mass
Convention assembled, make this dec
laration OF principles: We hold the
Republican party TO be a political or
ganiZatiOn OF those American citizens
who are opposed to slavery in all its
forms who believe that all men are
entitled to the same political and civil
rights; who believe that all laws,
State and National, should be made
and administered SO as to secure to all
citizens wherever born, or whatever
their color, creed, condition, or occu-
patton, the same RICH IS before the law;
who believe in free schools, free opiu-
ion, and universal education; who
believe that American society and
the American people 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 i'm
view, and that no party has right to
The support of the people which is not
inspired with this purpose. Believing
that the Republican, party is still con-
trolied by these principles, and that it
is now as it has been from its begin
ming, an organization Of the best and
pnrest political sentiment Of the coun-
Try, we as Republicans renew the ex-
preston Of our devotion to it and our
belief that we can secure through it the
political reform, aud the Just and nee
essary measures OF Legislation. and of
relief from mon0polies and other abu-
ses of power which the country so
much needs. Therefore
Resotred, LIST, That proud as we are
OF most of the past record Of the Re-
publican party we yet insist that it
shall not rely upon its past achieve
nicnts; it must be q party of the pre-
sent and of progress; and as it has
preserved the Inion, freed the slave,
and protected him from the oppression
of the siave-master, it will now he
derelict to its spirit and its duty if it
does not protect all orr people from all
forms OF oppression, whether Of mo-
nopolies. centrgiized capital, or what
saever kind the oppression may be.
Resotced, I'd. That we insist upon
the right and duty of the State to con-
troll every franchise Of whatever kind
u grants; and while we do not wish
that any injustice shall he done to the
individual or corporation who invests
capital or industry in enterprises Of
This kind, we yet demand that no
franchise shall be granted which is
pfejndicial To the public interests, or
~ which the rights and interests of
The State and the people are hot care
fully and fully guarded.
Resotred. I'D. That the producing.
commercial and industrial interests Of
the country should have the best and
cheapest modes Of transportation posi-
Bile; and while actual capital invested

railroad or Otherwise, should be per-

OF THE MIND IN SLEEP

Undoubted proof has been afforded
that the energy of the intellect is often
greater during sleep than at any other
time, and many q problem, it is asserted.
has been solved in sleep which has NM.
lied the waking senses. Cabanis tells
US mat franklin on several occasions
mentioned to him that he had been as.
sisted In dreams in the conduct of MANY
affairs In which he was engaged. Con.
dlllac states that while writing his course
OF studies he was frequently obliged to
leave q chapter incomplete and retire TO
bed, and that on waking he found it, ON
more than one occasion, finished. in his
head. ms
In like manner Condoroet would some
times leave his complicated calculations
unfinished, and after retiring to rest
would find their results unfolded to him
in his dreams. La Fontaine and Vol
taire both composed verses in their sleep.
which they would repeat ON waking. DR..
Johnson relates that he once in dream
had contest Of wit with some other
person, and that he was very much NOR
tifed by imagining that his antagonist
had the better of him. Coeridee in A
dream composed the wild and beautiful
poem of "Kubla Khan" which had
been suggested to him by a passage he
had read in Sc Purchas' Pilgrimage be-
fore he fell asleep. On awaking he had
distinct recollection of between two
and three hundred lines, and taking
writing materials began early to set
them down. Unfortunately he was in.
ierrupted before a quarter of the task
was done--was called away to attend to
some business which detained him an
hour and found when he had returned
to his writing that the remainder had
vanished from his memory. The most
remarkable testimony of this kind is
perhaps that of Sir Thomas Browne,
who declared that il ii were possible he
would prefer to carry on his studies in
bis dreams, SO much more efficient were
his faculties Of mind when his body was
asleep. He further adds that were his
memory as faithful as his reason was
then fruitful he would prefer that season
for his devotion.

A ROMANTIC LIFE.-The romance of

following her to her home, adopted the
habits of the Cherokees, married her,

large element of savagism there was in
his character. And yet he was superbly
