The Parties.

Geo. VIM. Curtis, in an editorial
article in Har1per's Weekly upon the
late elections, thus concisely sets
forth the present attitude of the DEM
ocratic party, and the calamity which
would result from it's attainment of
power /:
"The general torpidity of business,
the prolonged confusion in the South
ern States, the suspicion of corrup-
ton and inefficiency in the public
service, the hostility to stringent tenn
perance legislation, are among the
reasons which have fostered that de-
sire for change which is shown in the
elections. There is not one of these
complaints, however, except that of
the temperance laws, which would be
removed by Democratic restoration.
All the sincere jealousy of union,
with all the hatred that survives the
war; all the hostility to the principles
and the purpose of the new amend
ments to the Constitution; the spirit
of oppression to the negro; the desire
of repudiation-are all included in
the Democratic party. In States
where the old spirit of caste, fostered
by ignorance of every kind, is strong
est, in those parts of the country
which are the most backward in civil
lization and general development, the
Democratic party is now, as it always
was, more powerful than it's oppo-
nent. In the great centres of intelli-
gence, industry, enterprise, and an
advancing social condition the Re
publican party is dominant. Ken
lucky and Maryland are distinctively
Democratic States; Massachusetts,
Iowa, and rural New York are Re
publican.
Every patriotic and enlightened
American must prefer to see the coun-
try guided by the spirit of the great
Northwest and of New England and
New York rather than by that of the
old Border and Slave States. The
curse of the slavery that blighted
them so long has not yet passed
away. 1t is not to them that the
country is to look for sound princi-
pies and wise and humane policy.
And there could be no greater mis-
fortune than that the government
should again fall under the domino
ton from which it was rescued in
1860 and saved only by a terrible
civil war.

Important U. S. Suit abainst the b,
G. r.. & M. Railroad
Davenport Gazette, Oct. 25. }

Hon. JAS. 7. Lane, of this city, U
S. District Attorney for the District
of Iowa, has had a very important
case placed in his hands during the
past week-one which, if pushed as
the informants desire, to result such
as they predict, will make something
of stir in certain circles in this
State.
1t appears that lot of documents
which had been in possession of the
Sanborn detective ring in Washing
ton, fell into the hands of the Treas.
ury Department when the ring was
broken up. These papers covered q
great number of alleged frauds by
heavy corporations in various parts OF
the country. The documents were
distributed among the revenue col
lectors in districts where the frauds
were said to have occurred. A very
important batch Of these papers fell
into Collector Boardman's hands
papers by which it appeared that the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Mime.
sofa Railroad Company owed the
government $4,000 in unpaid taxes.
The Clinton Herald says the discov-
cry was made by one Green, an agent
of Sanborn, who was investigating
the matter when he was relieved by
the termination of the Sanbom con
tract. Mr.. Boardman directed Dep
uty Collector Charles A. Smith, of
Clinton, to pursue the investigation
commenced by Green, in conjunction
with Charles NJ. Brown, of Ottumwa,
special agent under Gen. Hedrick.-
Messrs. Smith and Brown repaired to
Cedar Rapids and examined the books
Of the company, proceeding with their
labor for several weeks, although the
principal part of the investigation
was pursued by Mr.. Brown alone
The latter not only verified the state
ments made by Green as to the I'M
collected $1,000, but ascertained that
the entire amount due was $4,000
$4,000 more than reported by Green.
The officials of the company, it should
be said, promptly disclaimed all in
tention to withhold the taxes and de-
MED that they owed a single dollar
to the government for unpaid rev.
enue.
1t is explained that in 1868 law
was passed requiring railroad compa-
MES to pay a special tax for coupons,
when the same were paid. The b.,
G. r. q M. company issued large
number of coupon bonds between the
years 1867 and 1S72-the law was
repealed in the latter year-but ne
elected to pay the tax, and the gov
eminent officials never asked the
company to pay it. The company
claims that it's bonds were never sold
within the meaning of the law, prior to
1872, but were hypothecated, or mere
ly deposited as security, and that
hence the coupons were exempt from
tax. There, are several fine legal
questions to be settled, and the pro-
gress of the case will be watched
with great interest by other railroad
companies that never paid the tax
which forms the basis Of this suit,

Correspondence Of the Bulletin.

Correspondence Of the Bulletin
CREIGHTON, Neb., Oct. %, 1874.
Having few leisure moments,
away from home and all our pleasant
associations, l find myself out here
on the frontier, and being little
homesick with the rest, l know of no
better way to cheer up, than to drop
few lines to our valuable paper,
The BULLETIN.
Creighton Is located on the south
ern boundary Of Knox county, Neb.,
forty-five miles from Yankton, d. IT,,
and was first settled by the Bruce
colony, from Boston, three years ago.
They laid out town site last spring,
and about twelve nice buildings have
been erected thereon during the past
summer, one of them a large three
story Touring mill, 35x5O feet, at a
cost of $4,000. This building was
erected by the firm of Brooks & Saun-
ders, from New Hampshire. l was
very much surprised on coming here
to find such an intelligent and refined
class of people away out here on the
frontier. They will compare well
with eastern places. They have di-
vine services twice every Sabbath,
and Il tlourishing Sabbath School.
Election passed off quietly; it was
all one-sided. There were only "a
Democratic votes cast in the whole
county; the Anti party is not known
here.
Fifteen thousand head of Texas
cattle have passed through this set
Element since the first of May; about
two thousand of that number went
through yesterday, all en- route for
the different Indian Agencies on the
Missouri River, to feed the red men
Of the forest Prairie fires are all the
rage here now. They have them
here on a much larger scale than in
Buchanan county. A German settler
while on the road from Yankton was
overtaken by the prairie fires. He
unhitched his team from the wagon,
mounted one Of the horses and at
tempted to run away from the fire,
but was fairly beaten. Before he had
gone far the fire outfanked him, met
again in his front, and slowly closed
in on him. While in this position
he attempted to ride through, but the
horses, on reaching the fire, refused
to go further, SO both were subjected
to the fiery ordeal. The man posi-
bly, may survive, but both horses were
burned to death. Another sad casu-
ality occurred ten miles southwest Of
Yankton. Two children were burn
ed to death, and their father serious
" burned in attempting to save them.
They were fighting prairie fire when
their clothes ignited and resulted as
above stated. The good folks here
had visitation from the hoppers,
but in my estimation they are not so
bad off as in many of our counties in
the southern potion of this State and
Northwestern Iowa.
Yours with respect, A. Nj.

Heavy Demand.

J. A. Rhomberg, the Dubuque dis
tiller and railroad man, was waited
on last Friday by Gen. NJ. M. Trum-
bull, collector of Internal Revenue,
with a claim of $75O,OOO due the
government in unpaid taxes on
whisky manufactured by Rhomberg
during period extending from Sept.
81, 1865, to May 81, 1869. Rhom-
berg is allowed ten days in which to
make payment Of the demand, at the
end of which time, if it is not liqui-
dated, Collector Trumbull announces
that he will proceed to levy on Rhom-
berg's property, and collect the tax
by process of law.
This is pretty large figure in the
way of delinquent taxes, and it may
be presumed, will not be paid without
protest and resistance. As to the
justice of the demand, and Rhom-
berg's defense, we know nothing
We notice that the Herald makes
haste to declare that the claim is out
rageous and without foundation, but
the Herol0s opinion in a matter
wherein rich and influential and
liberal party like Joe Reomberg is
concerned, is proverbially without
weight.
Rhomberg is reputed the richest
man in Iowa, and there is a very
general surmise at least, whether just
or unjust the facts must determine,
that much Of his wealth was acquired
by evasion of his duties to the gov.
eminent. If this can be made to APP.
pear, every honest man will be glad
to see him made to disgorge his ill
gotten wealth. We hope, however:
for the good Of Dubuque, and hel
railroad, and other enterprises to
which he has contributed with open
hand, that Mr.. Rhomberg may estab
lish the fact that he has honestly dis
charged all obligations to the govern
ment

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMA-
TON.
BY the President OF tho United States
Of Americana Proclamation.

We are reminded by the changing
seasons that it is time to pause in our
daily vocations and offer thanks to
Almighty God for the mercies and
abundance of the year which is draw
ing to close.
The blessings of free government
continue to be vouchsafed to us, the
earth has responded to the labor of
the husbandman, the land has been
free from pestilence, internal order is
being maintained, and peace with
other powers has prevailed.
1t is fitting that at certain periods
we should cease from our accustomed
pursuits and from the turmoil of our
daily lives, and unite in thankfulness
for the blessings in the past, and in
the cultivation of kindly feelings to-
ward each other.
Now, therefore, recognizing these
considerations, I, Ulysses S. Grant,
President of the United States, do
recommend to all citizens to assem-
BILE in their respective places of wor-
ship, on Thursday, the 26th day of
November next, and express their
thanks for the mercy and favor of
Almighty God, and laying aside all
political contentious and all secular
occupations, to observe such day as a
day of rest, thanksgiving and praise.
In witness whereof l have here
unto set my hand and cause the seat
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
9th day Of October, in the year
eighteen hundred and seventy-four,
and of the Independence of the
United States of America the nine
ty-ninth. U. S. GRANT.

A Stupendous Enterprise.

The publishing world is about to
have a sensation in the publication OF
Andreas' Atlas Of Minnesota, which
will be issued in about four weeks.
10 show the magnitude of this work
we condense the following from the
authors preface in the work: "The
photographic engraving and litho-
graphic printing if confined to one
man and one press, would have taken
the man about thirteen years and the
press nearly two years. If one man
had to set the type for this work, and
arranged the forms, and done the cleo
trotyping, it would have taken him
two years and halt, and one press
about six months to print it. If one
person had done all the coloring, il
would have taken him forty-fve years
The binding takes seventeen tons OF
cardboard for the cases, and nearly q
ton of leather, cloth, etc. 1t requires
seventy tons of paper on which to
print this work, and when the whole
is boxed and ready for shipment will
require eleven freight cars to carry
it to it's destination"
Then follows the names of one
hundred and eight employees who
have been engaged on this work fol
upwards of a year past, giving theil
places of residence, etc.
While the above may be rcgared
as extravagant, yet the truth of it can
be established by any one visiting the
Lakeside Building. From basement
to roof, from end to end of this vast
building is piled paper and material
for this Atlas. The upper floors, on
which are located respectively the
lithographing, the bindery and the
printing departments, all Of which
are the most extensive in this city,
are working, and have been for
months, almost exclusively on this
Atlas of Minnesota. Chas. Schober
