Another ReGorner.

The Dubuque Times has been in
vestigating the record of John II.
Peters, of Delhi, the Anti-Monop can
didatc for District Attorney, and like
that of many other candi iatcs of that
party, it is not fragrant one or be-
coming "rcformcr."
Mr.. Peters was member of the
convention that framed the new con-
stituti0n of lowe, and resided then
as now, at Delhi, about fifty or sixty
miles from Iowa City, at which place
the convention was held. a resolu-
ton was offered and adopted by the
body, that each gifts members hand
to the Secretary a statement in writ
ing, of the mileage to which he was
entitled, and by what route he claim
ell it. This put the question of mile
age upon the honor 0, the members
of the convention, and accordingly
each handed in his account except
Mr.. Cotton, who authorized Mr.. Ellis
to do so. The way that Mr.. Peters
responded to this appeal to his honor
ard integrity, was illustrated by the
report afterwards made to the con.
svcntion, which showed that Mr..
Peters had returned 72O miles az the
distance he had travelled between
Delhi aud Iowa City, and drew out
of the State Treasury for travelling
expenses the comfortable sum of
Sl0S. Mr.. Peters account was
greater than any other members of
the convention except two; one
charging the same, and the other
more than he did. All this is a mat
ter OF record, and it helps to throw
light upon the character Of the men
who are receiving the nominations
from the ''party of reform" 1t is
needless to add that Peters is a dyed
III the wool Democrat.

forth of these facts, which cannot be
gainsaid by any intelligent man, is
simply sufficient to impress every re-
tiecting mind with the utter futility
of seeking general and permanent re-
form through local party having ex-
istence in but single State.
The Republican party is daily de-
monstrating its purpose in the way OF
practical reforms, and has freely re-
buked and punished its own offenders
and criminals as if they were of OPP
posing faith. Progress, education
and the rights Of man, are its watch
words. Having preserved the credit
and honor of the nation when they
were assaulted by open force in arms
and secret enemies at the ballot box,
it has earned the gratitude of the
people. 1t only remains for the peo-
|plc to seize upon its strong organiza-
ton, i'll the General Government and
Il large majority of the states, and
compel it to do their will. Thus it
may be made still more efficient
agency in correcting every political
evil, and in accomplishing every de-
sired reform. In Congress and in
many of the State Legislatures this
party has accomplished more in the
way of restricting the power and cor
recting the abuses of monopolies than
any new party could hope to do. Its
principles are unassailable; its ticket
is conceded to be vastly superior to
that Of our antagonists; its prospects
for a forty thousand majority are
Strengthening day by day.

Chairman Republican State Central
Committee.

The Iowa Falls Sentinel referring
to the antagonistic and incongruous
elements that go to make up the op
position to the Republican party, thus
sententiously sums up its insincerity
and weakness: 'Retorm is the watch
word, but when practical test is
reached each particular faction wants
just that reform which will give to it
all the oifices.-Each realizes the Oh
vious truth that union is essential to
strength, but each is intent upon that
union which comes of the absorption
Of all other elements into itself"

Ir seems that the depressing iner-
tia OF the Anti-Monop campaign is too
much for even the airy, bombastic
Ex-Gov. Stone. The Anti-1Nonopo-
list, published at Iowa City, speaking
of his speech at that place says :
''rhe Governors speech was interest
ing, although it lacked the old vim"
Without this "vim," which stands
for the reckless audacity of statement
and sublime impudence Of assump-
ton, which charactcrizes them, the
Ex-Governor's speeches must be flat
ter than dish water.

The Autobiography Committee of

The Autobiography Committee OF
the 18th District in reply to Il chal.
lcnge extended to their candidate for
Congress. J. ID. Whitman, for a Joint
canvass of the district, decline, witt,
tie acknowledgement that Whit
man don't know much about polit;-
cal matters; but intimate that they
are willing to back him against his
opponent in ajoint contest on the
farm or at the work bench, with tn.
jack plane. Their point would be
GOOD if that was the kind of work re
q tired Of a Congressman. Their
suggestion that their candidate is un
willing or unable to tell the peopl,
what are bis views upon political
topics, even though the most eloquent
orator in the land he his opponent, is
confession Of weakness.

flattering Prospects.

From the State Register
Iowa with its overlooking granar-
les of the largest and best small grain
crop it has ever had, and its certain
prospect of as large corn crop, as
that ofany previous year in its his
tory, will go to the head this year.
Its farmers will receive more money
this fall than those of any other
State in the West, if not III the I'm
ion. Its good crops in this year of
general failure, its uniform escape
from the terrors and ruin of drouth
during the past few years in which
its neighbors on all sides have been
scourged, set it forward at the very
front of all the agricultural States.

THE DUBUQUE IeltyruDh referrin

THE Dubuque Telegraph referring
to the disturbances at the South, says;
The once antagonism Of white free
dom and black slavery is only chang
ed into the more direct and personal
antagonism of white and black men,
and in this antagonism the battle be-
tween the races will be and must be
fought.

the regret of right minded people
will be that the old dcmayoguc and
incendiary who penned the above
paragraph is not in the South to take
a hand in it.

The Suite Record thus goes into
the conundrum business: "Why is
the Autobiography party like the
new State Capitol? Ans. 1t com
mcnced building with rotten Stone in
the foundation. Why is the Anti
Monopoly party unlike the new State
Capitol? Ans. Because its derricks
are not strong enough to lift the rot
ten Stone out of its foundation. In
what particulars are the rotten stone
removed from the Capitol foundation
and the rotten Stone in the founda-
ton of the new party alike? Ans
Both were rejected by the Republi-
can party, and both have considera-
BILE size and immense dead weight"

The!Canvass.

OF Judge Changers prospects for
support in Clayton county, cores
pondcnt of the Dubuque Times writ
ing from McGregor says:
His nomination meets with en-
phatic and hearty approval every
where; and many prominent Liberals
in this county have expressed their
determination to give him their earn
est support. Indeed it is now mat
ter Of real doubt if liberal of any
prominence in Clayton county can be
found who is not "Granger man."
and ortspoken as such. The canvass
as now opened augurs for Judge
Granger an easy and triumphant
victory. L. o. Hatch, a leading law
yer and Liberal, with Hon. J. O..
Crosby, prominent in political cir
cles in this section, are decided and
earnest for Granger. In truth Aims
worth has not decent following in
this county among even the Anti
Monopoly party. His fractional
nomination pours cold water upon
his prospects nightly, and weakens
materially his candidacy. Friends of
Guilhert boldly assert that his nom
nation is a .traud; and that they will
not under any circumstances vote
for him. They openly express their
determination to vote for Granger in
preference to Ainsworth and thereby
rebuke the dominant spirit of Bour-
bonism that ruled the Autobiography
convention. Thomas Updegraff, it's
chairman, is completely disguised
with the motley mob, and asserts up
on the streets of McGregor his bit
ter contempt for the convention and
its proceedings. In view of these
facts, Changers election seems a
moral certainty. Hundreds Of Ger
mans are rallying to his standard.

ficer of the Cabinet, the Secetary of
the Treasury, his Assistant and the
Solicitor, and forced them all from
the places they had disgraced; it has
detected and exposed the credit mo-
bilier scandal, and has exposed and
overthrown the District of Columbia
plunderers. All this is selfreforma-
ton, Il fact unknown in the history of
any other party that has ever existed
in this or any other government,
Last year one of the most prominent
democratic-anti-monopoly members of
the Iowa Legislature declared on the
floor Of the house that the "Rcpubli-
cans had been foremost in every re-
form during the session." the reform
atory action of the party extorting
this unwilling confession from one of
its most uncompromising opponents.
Admitting all that is claimed for
the Anti-Monopolp party by it's most
enthusiastic dcvotccs, it can only be
locally scrviccable, as it exists in Iowa
alone. Should it achieve power, its
influence would be limited to this
State, for the reason that there is not
now, nor is there expectations of, an
Autobiography party in any other
State. On the opening Of the Presi-
dental campaign next year these To-
cal party organizations will be swal-
lowed up in one or the other, or both,
of the recognized national parties.
Then the members Of this new party
must rally under the banner of the
Republican or Democratic party both
of which are, and will continue to be,
national organizations, Or fritter away
their opportunities and power in an
idle cndeavor to attain national re-
suits through the narrow and local
instrumcntality Of a party confined to

Gbe Girnes, New BLOOMFIELD, 11a.

A short time after dark we went up the
river half mile or SO above the Bluff all
being able to walk, and then we constructed
a raft of rails. Launching IL, three men
were easily buoyed up, the worst wounded
ones, and the other three found corners to
hang to. The five unwounded got behind,
showed of; and swimming and drifting, we
at length landed safely at the head of the
island. Had it been in my power to have
returned the night before, the battle of
Balls Bluff would never have been fought,
or else it would have had different end
ing. The want of reliable information in
regard to the enemy's strength brought
the battle on, and caused the terrible
slaughter of Federal troops.

Anecdotes of Horne TOOke.

A good joke is told of Horne Tooke,
whom the Tories in the House of Commons
thought to crush, by imposing upon him
the humilitating task of begging the Houses
pardon on his knees. Tooke went on his
knees, begged pardon for the offensive ex-
preston he had used, but, on rising, he
knocked the dust off his knees, and exclaim-
ed, loud enough to be heard by the whole
House, "It's dirty house, after all!''
Roars of laughter followed this exclama-
ton, and the Tories saw clearly enough
that they had failed in the object which
they had in view.
On the evening of Tooke's arrival at Ok
ford he Joined party Of old school-felIows
in a carouse at one Of the taverns. Sundry
bowls of bishop" and egg Flip having been
discussed, songs amatory and bacchanalian
were sung with full choruses, and altogeth-
er the jocularity began to pass the limits of
becoming mirth, when the Proctor made
his appearance and, advancing to the table
at which the +" freshmen in every
sense of the word-was presiding, put the
usual question,
"Pray, sir, are you a member of this
university ?"
''No, sir" replied Tooke, rising and
bowling respectfully, "pray, are you ?"
A little disconnected at the extreme gray
ity Of the other, the Proctor held out his
ample sleeve and said,

up near her, there being no vacant seat.
After few minutes, came in poor
woman, who deposited basket of clothes
on tho front platform, and held in her arms
a small child, while little girl hung to her
dress. She looked tired and weary, but
there was no vacant seat to be sure, Char
lotte might have contracted her flounces,
but she did not. Beside her, however, sat
a very lovely and elegant young woman,
who seemed trying, by moving down closer
to others, to make space enough for the
stranger between herself and Miss d. At
last she succeeded, and, with the sweetest
blush ever saw, she invited the poor fe-
male to be seated. Charlotte D., drew her
drapery around her, and blushed too, but
it was not pretty blush at all, and she
looked annoyed at the proximity of the
newcomer, who was, however, clean and
decently though thinly clad.
" The unknown lady drew the little girl
upon her lap, and wrapped her velvet man
tie around the small, halfclad form, and
put her muif over the halffrozen little
hands.

seemed to observe. The child shivered ::
the keen wind from the door blew upon
her unprotected neck. saw the young
lady quietly draw from under her mantle
little woolen shawl, which she softly put
on the shoulders of the little one the
mother looked on with confused wonder.-
After short time she arose to leave the
car, and would have removed the shawl,
but the unknown gently whispered, "No,
keep it for her." The woman did not an
swer, the conductor hurried her out, but her
eyes swan with tears. l noticed her as
she descended to basement, and hastily
marked the house. H4
"Soon after, my unknown rose to de-
part. / was in despair, for wanted to
follow and discover her residence, but
could not leave Miss D.

quaintance who stood in the doorway

her name and address. ......r.
To shorten the story as much as pos
sible, that lady is now my wife. In the
small incident which introduced her to me,
she showed her real character. A few days
after our marriage showed her the bless

its owner, and shall keep it as memento.
