AF.ER ELEc Ton. The election Of
county officers in this county turned al
most entirely upon personal, instead Of
party preferences, and consequently
was attended by more than the usual
amount of personal rancor. All ILL
feeling enyendered in the excitement Of
the contest should, in view of far more
important public interests, be terminal
ed with its close. Let US again present
a united front. as we did little over a
year ago, when all were intent upon q
single purpose, the Improvement and ad-
vancemcnt of our common interests, a
unity which gave our town prestige
and character which has done much to
promote its prosperity; and give It a
character abroad which it could never
have attained had our citizens entertain
ed visitors and strangers with accounts
of the grievances Of petty feuds and
factions among ourselves. This morn
ing. in passing around town, we met at
different places two business men, just
arrived from San Francisco, each met
US with the same congratulations upon
the present thrift and splendid future of
our town; an impression which is en-
tertained by enterprisipg business men
all over this coast. We, must all COM
bine to promote and extend that i'm
preston, and above all to help forward
the enterprises which have given us
that character, ..o.f .,.f 3D..

WHAT OF IT ?-Some Of our bed-rock
Democratic friends are taunting us up
on the assumption that We supported
Judge Jacobs because he was in sym
pathy with the Administration and q
majority in Congress and would there-
fore have more influence in procuring
favors for the Territory than. an opposi-
ton candidate; whereas, tie recent cleo
tions render It probable that the next
House of Representatives in Congress
will have an opposition majority. Well.
what Of it? The main Ioint we have
gained is, that Jacobs is far the superior
Of his opponent in ability and in those
social qualities which command inau-
ence regardless Of party, and that he is
personally devoted to those material In
terests upon which the future prosperity
of the Territory mainly depends. The
present Administration and Senate will.
in any event, remain in power during
the entire term for which Judge Jacobs
is elected, and he has the confidence
and sympathy of both, and can COM
mand their friendly Offices at least to
that extent, which will be the CONTROL
ing power in the Government, until the
4th Of M ,rch, 1877, and all the Federal
power and influence in this Territory
will be of like political character. So
that on political party grounds we have
lost nothing, while upon personal and
local grounds we are largely the gamers
in the election of Judge Jacobs. as all
will admit wto know the two men, and
our individual support Of Judge Jacobs
was based solely upon the two latter
considerations. The vote which he re-
ceived in the city and county Of his
home clearly prove that he IS not an Of
fensive partisan. aud in his speeches he
assured his hearers that if elected he
should make the discussion of national
politics no part of his business in Cons
gress. bat should seek to make friends
for the interests of the Territory with
representatives of all parties. and we
know him well enough 10 know that
will be his position. . 9'' ' ''

ly iii advance of all others on the
question woman's acknowledgements.
Several representative bodies of the
denomination in Iowa have declared
for it iii clear and emphatic terms,
aud now comes the DeS Moines Con-
ference, which on Monday, by vote
80 to ID, adopted the following reso-
luton, constituting a minority report
of a committee to consider the sub
,ject:
ReSolre0, by the DIS .Moincs IN
nual Conference, That we look with
favor and sympathy upon the efforts
of al! good men and women to en-
franchise the women of this common
wealth.
2. That in the judgment of this
Conference it is right that women
should have the privilege Of the clec-
tive franchise.
3. That we believe, from many
considerations, the time has come
when all good men and women
should speak out on this great ques-
ton.
III e Register commenting upon
this action, says:
This is great, substantial, and sig
nificant encouragement. The hearty
sympathy and active aid of SO power
ful a church as the Methodist is a
most potential force in any cause,
and well may the good women whose
souls are earnestly in this reform feel
proud Of the suspicious victory of
yesterday. With all of the other
Iowa Conferences of this denonina-
ton following, this endorsement is
scarcely second to that of either of
the political parties of the State.
