KELLoGG's CHEcK-BooK-A BOMB Ex.
PLoDkD,-Some of the EcEneryites, during the
recent emeate in New Orleans. captured the
private and official papers belonging to Gov.
ernor kellogg's office. These have been IN
dustriously fshed up by correspondent of the
New York Tribune, and that paper is slowly
unfolding and publishing their contents, SO tar
as they can have any bearing on the motives
which might have induced non.actlon in Con-
gress in the investigation Of the alleged frauds
and usurpaiions which seated Kellogg aud his
confederate miscreants in Office. 1t has al
ways been regarded as inexplicahle why Con-
gress refused an investigation which appeared
To be demanded by every consideration of hon.
esty and d-cency. as Well as good policy. These
private papers may afford the explanation. So
far they show that some Of the best friends
kellogg had in both houses of Congress aud in
Federal offices supposed to have an influence
on the minds of Congressmen, were regularly

DEATH OF J. NJ. WEART.-Just before
our forms go to press the intelligence
reaches us that Mr.. Weart expired at AZ
o'clock this morning. AT the date of our
last issue, his condition seemed favorable
for recovery, but on Sunday symptoms of
lockjaw interviewed, continuing with more
or less severity up to yesterday. The suf
fering from this cause proved too severe a
strain upon his enfeebled system, and yes
terday morning he was taken with con
WILSON'S, which continued until his death.
Mr.. Weart was one of our most worthy
and valued citizens, and his death will
make sensible void in our community.
He was useful man. and his genial and
kindly manners, with his approved integ
rity in all business matters, secured him
the respect and confidence of all who
knew him.
Mr.. Weart leaves, in dependent circum
stances, a wife and four young children,
to whom he was attached by the tenderest
ties of affection, and who, in the terrible
bereavement which deprives them of a
loved husband and father, will receive the
sincercst sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty
Pending the answer to kilograms to
friends of the family at the east, we are
not able to definitely announce the time of
the funeral

ASSAULT AT OELwEIN.- Our Oelwein
correspondent sends us the particulars of
a disgraceful occurrence in that town ~
few nights since. Hank Dolan, huge
fellow by the name Of Shaeffer, followed
him with horrible blasphemy, and finally
seized him by the collar and shaking him
much as bulldog would shake little
Scotch TERROR. Shaetfer got away and
ran into b. II. Benefits store. Dolan
followed. Bennett was out, and the clerk
could only run to the door and shout:
"Say, Dolan is pounding Shaeficr again.
In the meantime Dolan had his little VIC
tim over the counter, beating him in the
face with his huge fists, jamming his nose
and eyes, poor little Shacfier all the time
believing for mercy. Though number
of people were about on the street, none
ycntured into the store until Dolan, hay
ing pounded Shaefier's face into Jelly,
cleared out Then the store was filled in
two minutes. Shaetlers family and friends
flew to arms the same night, and, armed
with pistols and carving knives, would
have made mince meat of the big bully, if
they had found him He was arrested the
next day and fined by Squire Bennett SIS
and COSTS and bound over to keep the
peace. Our correspondent suggests that
he will keep the piece he gouged out of
Shaeilers nose.

BLANCHE" writes us from Sheridan
School House, that Il proposition for SER
les of sociables, to raise funds to rcpenish
the Sabbath school library in that neigh
borhood, met with a reception the north
side Of friendly from the minister In
charge, who could not give his sanction to
the "thoughtless plays in which young
people are apt to indulge on such occa-
sions." blanche" confesses that she has
always been ready to take part in these
harmless amusements, and intimatcs that
she and her associates in the Sabbath
school are not by any means convinced Of
their Nervousness by the oracular utter
ances of the pastor. So far as we know
the facts, we think she is right Unless
the society in the vicinity of Sheridan
School House is exceptionally prone to
evil, the proprieties may very well be left
to take care of themselves, in mixed
company of young and old, such as usual
ly gather at these church festivities. But
there arc some men, and some women, so
intensely staid and sedate and circumspect
and solemn and monitory, that it is only
by the most violent exercise of the mag
nation that we can conceive that they
ever were young, or susceptible to joyous
impulses; men SO upright that they lean
backwards; and these always see the dir
est consequences in harmless fun and
amusement.

PERsoNAL.-We are indebted for a
pleasant call, on Wednesday, from E. A.
Snyder, of the Cedar Falls Gazette He
reports the Gazette prosperous and pro
grcssive.
We were as much surprised as pleased
yesterday, to see drop into our sanctum
Laurence w. Chandler, formerly one Of
"our boys" but now editor and joint pro-
prietor of the Cedar County (Neb.) Aduo-
cate. He brings reports of plenty and
prosperity in his section of Nebraska, and
declares his newspaper venture as flourish
ing as he could expect. Laurence with
his editorial duties, combines the functions
of village attorney and land agent, and as
he has the capacity to do everything WELL
and the requisite energy, he will undoubt-
cdly make his mark in his county. He
returns on Monday.
Frank Jacobs, one of our most intell-
gent and wideawakc young men, who
ABOUT Three ana hall years since dropped
out of our community, emigrating to the
traditional land of steady habits and
wooden nutmegs, has returned to stay,
and has accepted place with S. NJ Os-
good, of the Palace of Music. He stepped
in to pay his respects to the BULLETIN, of
which he has been regular reader during
his absence, He gladly returns to old as
sociatiOns.
WE were favored last week with brief
call from Mr.. Beach, of the Fayette Neps
He was in town to hear Bayard Taylor's
lecture. As is the case with all strangers,
he was surprised at the evidences of re-
Operative energy in our burned out city.

THE STATE REGISTER -The prospectus
of this widc-awake and newsy paper will
be found on the second page. The Clark
son brothers are born journalists, and
while we may not always agree with them
in principle, or acquiesce in their judg
ment in all things, we cannot withhold
our need of admiration for their indomit-
able pluck and energy, and the ability,
intelligence and industry which are dis
played in the management of the paper
In mosts respects the Register is model
newspaper, and credit to Iowa journal
ism. 1t is always readable, and its de
tails of general and State news, and its
discussions of topics pertaining to the
progress and well being OF our State are
comprehensive, intelligent and thorough.
No citizen of Iowa who reads it habit
ually can fail to secure compensation and
benefit far beyond its cost.

Go From Home to Hear the News.
The following sapient piece of infor
nation is clipped from the Saratogian of
Oct. %, published in Mr.. Domains native
county in New York:
The Democrats have succeeded in elect.
ing l.. l.. Ainsworth to Congress in the
Third District of Iowa by majority of
% over William G. DOMAIN The Daven-
port Gazette says that he is the first Dem
ocrat elected to Congress from that State
since 1852 Mr.. Domains denomination
was made against the protest of many of
the leading Republicans of the District,
who have thus consented to the election
of political opponent rather than aid in
the choice of one they deemed unworthy.
This shows the need of putting only true
and pure men in the front
AS the Saratogidns facts are pure
myths, Mr.. Donnan not having been a
candidate even for the nomination to Con-
gress, its theory of the Republican defeat
in this District is wholly visionary and
ridiculous. On the score of Mr.. Domains
worthiness and ability as compared with
the successful candidate, nobody would
have had cause, and we apprehend no
Republican in the District would have
had the disposition to exult over the result,
if the canvass had been shaped as indi-
Gated by the Saratogian.

Eyes Of love with jet-b black hue.
Lips like cherries. when the sunlight

She is gentle. sweet and loving

And we called her fair May blossom

She but came our hearts to gladden.

And there's now voiceless silence

Who could take away darling
From LOVING mothers arms:
Who could wish the love To sander
She has felt in habys charms:
Some one must Lave called our baby
For she could not 30 alone

YE OLDDE FOLKs-A number of the
best singers in our city have been for
some weeks rchcarsing for concert of
Ancient Music in the old style, and have
so far progressed that they are ready to
announce the time of the performance,
which will be on Thursday evening of
next week, Dec. 18th, at the NJ. L. Church.
The chorus will number about thirty
singers, who will be dressed in continen-
tai costume, hired in Dubuque at consider
able expense for this occasion. The music
will consist of the sonorous fugucs and
quaint melodies of hundred years ago,
and, with the costumes and other appoint
ments in perfect keeping, will offer an
entertainment at once novel, unique and
interesting.

INSANE HosPITAL-The Board of Trus-

AMONG the modifying and curative
agents employed by DR.. Reynolds, of the
Insane Hospital, in the treatment of the
unfortunates committed to his charge,
amusements hold prominent place. An
addition to the facilities and appliances of
the Hospital in this line has been made in
the shape of Il magic lantern, with full
sets of pictures The first exhibition will
be awaited with much interest by the
patients, who seem to appreciate and take
great delight in these efforts for their
diversion and improvement

SALARY RAIsED.-We are pleased to
learn that Prof Wilson Palmer, formerly
of this place but now of Ottumwa, is so
well appreciated as an educator by the
people of that city, that the school board
has recently raised his salary from ST, 800
to 81, 800 per annum. Prof. Palmer is
one of the best teachers in Iowa, combin
ing great skill with enthusiasm in his
work that insurcs success, and we are not
surprised that his value is recognized in
the manner indicated. Without dspar-
agement OF others, it can be truly said
that our schools were never so efficient
and prosperous as while under his super
vision, and we have always regarded it a
mistaken policy that permitted him to
leave us.

FINED.-The keeper of low doggcry
ON Walnut street, opposite Tasks livery
stable, was arraigned before Equre Bar
ton this week for selling liquor to minor
and getting him drunk The saloon keep
er plead guilty, and was fined $50 and
costs. The complainant in this case was
the mother of the boy, a lady of the first
standing in our community, who, in the
absence of her husband from the city, and
painfully conscious that it was her son
that was being enticed down the broad
road to ruin, took upon herself to see that
the reckless tomptor was punished.
By this act that saloon keeper has, &C
cording to the terms of the city ordinance,
forfeited his license. The City Council
meets Monday night let us see if it has
the stamina to act as the case and law de-
mands. Let us see if it is willing to pro-
claim, as non-action will surely proclaim,
that its ordinance for the regulation Of
saloons was not made to be enforced.
