ONE of the heaviest blows yet re-
ceived by the "Southern outrage y
manufacturers was dealt by the New
York San. The Republic stated that
the United States mail train running
between Livingston and Demopolis
was stopped and robbed by one hum
dred armed men on October fifth. The
Sun offers three little facts which en-
tirely annihilates the Republics story:
First, there is no railroad connecting
the two towns named and consequently
no mail train; second, the mail train
between Livingston and Demopolis is
carried by negro on mule, and,
third, that on Monday, October 5th,
the mule was indisposed and in conse-
quence no trip was made.

An Unpopular Appointment.

In the appointment Of DIR. BENTLEY
to the Superintendency of the Napa
Insane Asylum Governor BooTH has
exposed himself to the suspicion OF
using his executive power for political
preferment. There were better men
who would have accepted the appoint
ment and the qualifications of those
men were so well known that il is diff
cult for the Governors warmest
friends, of which the HERALD is
known TO be one, to offer acceptable
reasons for his action in causing the
apuointment of DIR. BENTLEY. We
assume, of course, that the Board
would not have made this appoint
ment had it not been recommended
by the Governor, who it is understood,
generally manages these things
though the actual election is made by
the votes of the Board of Directors. The
San francisco Post which is always
ready to charge all persons whom it
does not like, and that includes nearly
everybody, with improper motives,
says one of the eligible candidates for
the position, DR.. WILKINS, was defeated
for the sole reason that CY. WHEELER
the Governors, partner desired his de-
feat. This is but the mere I'M
sustained assertion of an irresponsible
party, and will not be believed unless
supporting evidence is Forthcoming.
But assuming that CY. WHEELER did
induce the Governor not to nominate
DR.. WILKINS, why is it that DR.. TITUS
was overlooked ? This gentleman has
for years filled the responsible position
of first assistant physician in the
Stockton Asylum. He is an able ply
sician, and no man in the State better
understands the care and management
of the insane. CY. WHEELER's per-
sonal animosity did not extend to Dr..
TITUS, vet the Governor did not favor
his election. Partizan journals charge,
and they adduce no inconsiderable
amount of evidence to sustain the
charge, that the claims of both DR..
WILKINS and DR.. TITUS were not con-
sidered for the sole reason that they
were Democrats. If the charge is
correct, Governor BooTII, the leader
of an Independent party and the
apostle of Independent principles, has
shown himself incapable of sinking
his political preferences in the cause
of humanity to the extent which
marked the course of Gov. HAIGHT, a
professed Democrat, when he refused
| to remove the Republican Superln-
tendent of the State Insane Asylum,
DR.. SHURTLIFF, because he believed
him to be the right man in the right
| place. When Democrats urged the
removed of the Republican Superin-
| tendent, the Governor answered that
| it was the care of the unfottunates in
the Asylum, and not the finding of Q
place for a member of his party, thai
actuated him while considering the
appointment of Il superintendent o
t36veffhh5otfe11 effhh5otfe11 APairf-A D1HlBcra1t VIZ
lifted the management of the insane
Asylum out of politics, and Governor
BooTH-an INDEPENDENTS charged
with throwing it back into the filthy
pool. For the sake of humanity anc
for the honor of the Governor, we
hope the charge will prove without
the slightest foundation in fact.

"There is no knowing what may turn
up" especially in horse-hair sofa. In
a small attic, says Vienna journal,
lived the family of tailor who had died
some weeks since in the greatest poverty
and misery. The widow could not earn
enough to support herself aud her chill
dren, and was obliged to sell her fur. In
her garnet stood an old sofa, which had
been given to her at her marriage by a
relation long since dead. At length even
this valued heirloom had to go to the
brokers. Two porters accordingly at
tempted to remove the sofa, but were
unable to do so. The broker, who nat
urally feared that his bargain was
stuffed with stone instead of horse-hair,
insisted on immediate investigation. To
the surprise of all persons, the removal
of thick coating Of the latter material
brought to light about forty muskets,
of the existence of which the owner of
the sofa had no idea. Each musket was
wrapped in a poster containing an
invitation to join in the students legion,
and bearing date October IA, i84S. "
An animated controversy is now in
progress between the broker and the
tailor's widow regarding the ownership
of the property thus unexpectedly dis
covered.

The question of regulating railroad
traffic stands prominently above ali
other subjects. Just what direction it
will take, or shape it will assume, can
not now be conjectured with any GER
tainty. The most of the Patrons with
whom your correspondent has had any
conversation are quite moderate in their
demands and yet very firm that sone-
thing must be done. The subject of
railroad legislation is one that is at
tended with very grave difficulties, q
fact that Patrons are well aware of. No
Patron or farmer desires the passage of
a railroad tariff too low to warrant a
railroad company in keeping up their
line in good order, because no one
knows better than do they, what ele-
community or State. And yet there is
a very settled feeling among the Pat
rons of Iowa that these corporations
have grown too burdensome TO be long
er endured without legislative enact
ments to restrain their charges. 1t
may, perhaps, be safely predicted that
maximum freight and passenger
tariff will be enacted and other regula-
tions passed specially defining their
rights and responsibilities.
Cooperative stores and associa-
tons at the present time seem to be
spreading among the Patrons through
out the State with great deal of favor
Union county has just established an
association at Alton for the transaction
of business. They have engaged CON-
petent storekeeper, who is busily en-
gagged in merchandising for the Patrons
and in shipping their products to mar
ket The prospects of success, under
the cash system, are truly hattering.
Farm implements may be sold on COM
mission by order of the Council.
Another has been established at Ames,
in Story county, for two months. AT
their last monthly meeting the report of
the Examining Committee showed re-
markable state of prosperity in all the
affairs of the association. The sales OF
the store during the first month
amounted to one-eighth more than the
capital stock. A strict cash business,
both in buying and selling, has been
done. The report shows that every
dollars worth of goods in the store had
been paid for, and that there was S1ll
in cash on hand.
1t was unanimously voted that a
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Com.
pany should be formed, and 81, 800 oil
stock was subscribed on the spot, and
much more pledged.
AT Ames the Grange has established
literary society reading-room open tc
the public. The society meets weekly
for debate, essays. etc. The reading
room is open daily, and has on file
seven dailies, nineteen weeklies, anG
twelve monthlies. The Patrons hall il
supplied with pictures, organ, ante
room, etc. The social influences o.
such appendices to Oranges whenever
it is possible can scarcely be overesti
mated. PLow Box.

new book, Memories of Many Men, .

calculated to give an erroneous impress

proclamation of President Liacoln's
emancipation proclamation
In the first place, the proclamation
was no sudden and unexpected birth,
and was no surprise to anybody in or
oui of the Cabinet, having been formally
promised to the country In default OF
cessation of hostilities, etc., by the
States and parts of States in rebellion,
three months before.
In the second place, the paper, as
finally published, wss not in any sense

interlineation or change that I can nov

hand, made, as then understood, when
DIR. Lincoln. read it to him in private,
prior to tks meeting. In this respect,
also, Mr.. ield's recollection of his

Tom ScOtt's Latest Request.

Tom Scott says that all he asks the
Government at Washington to do for
him is to guarantee the payment of the
interest on the bonds of the Texas Pa
cific railway swindle What more could
any reasonable spendthrift ask his
governor" to do for him than to
guarantee the payment of interest on
all his gambling, swindling, hcrse-rac-
ing, drinking, carousing, and loose
female liabilities? Why should the
Washington Government guarantee Tom
SCOTS liabilities any more than any
other mans liabilities? Probably there
are ten thousand farmers in Illinois
whose farms are under mortgage. If
Tom Scott may ask the Washington
Government to guarantee the payment
of interest on his debts, why may not
these Illinois farmers ask the Washing
ton Government to guarantee the pay
ment of interest on their debts ? Who
is Tom Scott that he may get his paper
Endorsed by the Washington Govern
ment, while other people cannot get the
Washington Government for indorser
Do the people own this country, or does
Tom Scott own it? Let us have direct
answer to plain question.-Chicago

The Question OF Regulating Railroad
TariRs-Gran&e Reading-Rooms and
Cooperative S4ores-Etc., Etc.
a. [From Our Regular Correspondent
Gn1ss MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 20.-Without
dfobt the uprising of the agricultural
masses throughout the STATE will to a
large extent direct legislation upon
many subjects during the present
session of the Legislature. Already
suggestions in large numbers begin to
find their way to the Assembly, and
ranges and County Councils are ex-
: ,ssing themselves as to what special
topic they wish taken up.
In Jasper county, for instance, the
County Council recently adopted series
OF resolutions, some of which are excel
lent. The Legislature, of course, will
be glad to have their attention thus
called to matters that they otherwise
might overlook. One of the resolutions
was request to their Senators and
Representatives in the Assembly to use
their influence and exertions to have a
law enacted that viii provide under
suitable penalties for the stimuli
taneous destruction of the pocket
gopher in all parts of the State.
This is small matter for legislation
perhaps, and yet it is of the highest i'm
torrance. The gopher annually destroys
= large number of fruit-trees and vine
,ards, spoils lawns, meadows and grow
ing crops, and is in general such a
nuisance that to get rid of the little
pest would be godsend to the farming
community. Another of the same resc-
}utions urges upon the Legislature the
importance of passing law requiring
81 6tate and county officers to let to the
lowest responsible bidder all priuiipg
1eceesary to be done in fulfllment of
D sv and in the transaction of public
l usiness. As to the expediency or wis
| dom Of this measure, the writer does not
trofess to know. It will undoubtedly
{e hxought up this winter. But there
ti1k be no disagreement in airy party
vfth the aforesaid Council when they
inquest their Senator and Representa-
tive. TO use their influence, votes and all
possible and reasonable exertions to
press upon both houses of the General
Assembly the propriety and absolute
necessity OF reform and retrenchment In
the transaction OF the peoples bust
ness in all of its departments, and the
absolute necessity Of diminishing and
materially lessening taxation. - ''s'p

-Lincoln's own handwriting throughout,
with the single exception referred to,
and there never was a man more averse
than he to anything like patchwork, OF
less likely to accept without discus
sion" the crude and hasty suggestions
of others.
If my memory should be at fault at
all, Mr.. Nicolay, Mr.. Hay, or Mr..
Frank B. Carpenter can easily correct
me. The latter especially has heard
the minutest particulars relating to the
proclamation from Mr.. Lincoln's own
lips again and again, while he was pre-
pairing the studies for his great painting
of that memorable Cabinet meeting.
