exceedingly becoming to all-both
young and old. The vision Of beau
tiful young girls which burst upon
the eye whcn-entering the room was
sight never to be forgotten. The
quaint old style Of dress worn by
Lady Washington added new
charms to the pretty young faces to
be seen on all sides. Nellie Grant
and Belle Richardson, both very
charming young ladies superintend-
ed the table. These two young
girls are as lovely in manners as
beautiful in person, and have won
the cnviable reputation of unaffected
sweetness of disposition. This is
the first time in the history Of the
government that a President of the
United States has been blessed with
daughter to add grace to the White
House; and she is soon to be spirit
ed away across the ocean by an
English gentleman, whose bride she
is to become very soon.
Grant has been as fortunate in his
family as in his public life. His
luck has not, as is too often the case,
left him on the threshold Of home.
Mrs. Grant is devoted wife and
mother, true woman in all relations
of life, and his children have so far
proved only blessings to him. 1t is

Congressional.

The Dubuque Times in an article
discussing the Congressional out
look in Iowa, has the following to
say of possible candidates in this
district
"In the Sd District there has as
yet been but little movement, though
mucl. speculation. Mr.. Donnan has
given no indication, as yet, to his
friends as to whether he will or not
be u candidate. Aside from the
objection urged against him that he
took the extra salary voted by the
last Congress, there has been and
can be no objections to his record.
The universal testimony is that he
has attained excellent position in
the body of which he is member,
and is regarded as one Of the abest
of the Congressional delegation of
the State, as he is one OF the most
Industrious and conscientious. We
have yet to see a man from any part
of the State who has been to Wash
ington and ascertaincd Mr.. Don
mans standing there who does not
speak in the highest terms Of him
and predict for him an influential po-
sition should he be returned. But
we apprehend that if he is renomina-
ted it will be by the general assent
of the Republicans of the District,
and not by any efforts he will put
forth himself, or seek to have his
friends put forth.
Hon. Joseph Hobson, of West
Union, will most likely be before
the convention. Hon. VIM. Lara
bee, of the same county, who has
been much talked of, is emphatic
ally not 4 candidate. Messrs Cooley
\Nillctt and Bulls, Of Winneshiek,
have each strong friends, but Meth
er of them have yet consented to
make the race. Mr.. Thomas, of
Lansing, and ID w. Adams, of
Waukon, are spoken of as prob
able candidates, but thus far as we
understand it, without warrant from
them. Clayton has no candidate,
as yet, though Judge Crazy and
Hon. +. Odell arc talked of. Here
in Dubuque there are great many
who would like to see Senator
Cooley nominated, believing him
to be one of the strongest and best
men in the District. 1t is not i'm
probable that his name will be be-
fore the convention for considera,
ton.

THE Iowa law which permits any
person in ured by the drunkenness
cf another to recover damages from
the party who sold the liquor, has
been appealed to heretofore only by
the wife or other relatives of the
drunkard. In s.recent suit In Cedar
Rapids, however, it had q new ap-
plication; one which, if followed up,
will be new source of tribulation
to the liquor seller, and afford re-
dress to employers of disslpated
workmen.
Frank Yarncll, . shoemaker,
brought suit against saloon keeper
Of Cedar Rapids, claiming of him
damages in the sum of 500, caused
by the sale Of liquor to one James
Bronson, an employee Of Yarnells
by which Bronson became intoxica-
ted and was rendered unserviceable
to plaintiff for ten days, and other
injuries were inflicted upon him as
set forth in his petition. The case
was tried before a justice, by jury
of six of the best business men of
Cedar Rapids, who rendered YER
dict in favor of Yarnell assessing the
damages at $50. The case will be
appealed, but from the plain word
ing of the law, it is difficult to see
how the higher court can do other
wise than confirm the decision, if
the facts as alleged were sufficiently
proven.

The Chicago Post predicts that
the next currency legislation in
Congress will probably include the
following features :.
l. The issue of notes to the banks
up to the face value of deposited
bonds.
2. The enforced retention by the
banks Of the coin interest received
on the deposited bonds.
3. The abolition of any legal re-
serve, except as above, for the re-
demption of the issue of National
banks.
4. Provisions TO redeem green
backs in gold or in bonds bearing q
low rate of interest, at the option
Of the government, and in ratio
corresponding to the gold accumu-
lation in the vaults of the banks.
s.. Possible free banking on the
basis above indicated.

Now, who is it that ultimately
pays these bills? To speak of one
branch, who buys the boots and
shoes made in this this town. The
farmers of the West and South.
And how long will the Western far
mers toll and slave and give the
East all the profits? How long will
they pay freight on their hides to
the east, then on the shoes back,
then on the bread for the Yankees
to eat while they are manufacturing
western hides into eastern shoes?
They have been miracle of good
nature to do it SO long as they have.
The case stands thus: The manu-
facturer makes boots and sells them
at four dollars pair, and makes
money-and for his pay gets wheat
lin shape of four) at two dollars a
bushel-that is two bushels of wheat
for pair of boots. The boots final
ly arrive in Buchanan county and
are sold to the farmer for six dol
lars, and he pays in wheat at one
dollar per bushel, or six bushels of
wheat for the same boots. What
has become of the four bushels that
the farmer pays and the manutactu-
rer don't get? 1t goes to the rail.
roads and to the middle men, and
as long as the manufacturer and
farmer are fifteen hundred miles
apart the evil cannot be avoided.
The certain remedy is to bring
the manufacturer right among US,
and so far as the Patrons OF Hus-
bandry are engaged establishing
manufactures Of any kind, at home,
they are doing work that will not
have to be repented of. Whatever
it costs in time or trouble or money
it will pay thousand fold. Take
the one branch of boots and shoes
and / mention that because it
could be easily started in our coun-
ty-once introduced into Buchanan
county, it would take root and be-
come a profitable industry, and once
successfully started, say at Indepen-
dence, it would raise the price of
every acre Of land in the county
twenty per cent. We should tan
our own hides. Nature mas given
us an abundance of oak bark for the
purpose-more valuable than the
hemlock of the East, and as it does
not require either water power or a
seaport for the purpose, start the
shoe business first, and other manu-
features will easily come in their or

that there is money enough IN the
country, triumphantly point to the

however, that instead of there being
no call for the currency, there are

Transportation.

The Senate committee on Trans.
portation of which Senator Win
dom Of Minnesota is chairman, and
which has made very thorough
investigation of the whole subject
of cheap transportation from the
West to the seaboard, finally sub
mitted its report on Friday, Mr..
Window making lengthy and
elaborate speech in explanation and
advocating thereof.
In brief, the committee arrive at
the same opinions expressed in Mr..
DOMAINS speech, delivered in the
House a few weeks since; that the
most feasible and advantageous way
to reduce the cost of transportation
is not by regulating competition be-
tween existing railways, but by the
improvements of the water routes.
Of these they place first in impor-
lance, the Mississippi river; second
a water lire Of. adequate capacity
from the Mississippi to New York
via. the Northern Lakes; third,
route through the central tier OF
States, via. Ohio and kanwha riv'
crs, to West Virginia, thence by
canal and freight railroad to tide
water, and fourth via. Ohio and
Tennessee rivers to point in Ala
bama and Tennessee, thence by ca
nal, slack-water and freight railway
to the ocean.
The committee estimate the total
cost Of these several Improvements
at one hundred and twenty to one
hundred and thirty five millions.
The improvement on the Mississip'
nj is estimated to cost sixteen mil
lions. and the route via. the lakes in
GLIDING the Fox and Wisconsin riv-
ers. at nineteen millions. The actual
expenditure oftwenty to twenty-five
millions yearly, for six years would
be necessary to carry out the whole
plan, resulting in great benefits and
annually repaying more than the
cost. The committee recommended
that the money be raised by rigid
economy in other appropria-
tions, by the issue of improv-
ed bonds, or by taxation. In
case OF taxation they suggest the
restoration of the tax on tea and
coffee, which would yield six mil
lions annually, and the repeal of
which has caused but little if
any reduction in the price OF
those articles. At the end OF SIX
wears the tax could be re-
pcaled, and the great public
improvements stand as eternal mon
uments of the wisdom Of Congress.
The Committee find that Congress
has tho right to to regulate inter-
State commerce of all descriptions,
and may appropriate money for
constructing canals and railroads;
that it may incorporate a company
to construct them, and exercise the
right of eminent domain in the
States, in order to provide for such
construction, and in the exercise of
such right, take for public use, pay
ing just compensation therefor, any
existing railroad or canal owned by
private corporations. These prop
osition were discussed at length,
and sustained by judicial decis-
ions.
