The Fayette convention was held
on Monday of this week. The II
delegates from Fayctte, to attend the

the Dubuque delegation does not go

A writer in the Galany says: "a
seat in the French Academy is to a
man of letters what the baton of
Marshal is to the soldier; yet those
who reach it are subjected to trial
hardly compatible with its dignified
character. The Academy does not
elect a man unless he presents him.
self as a candidate, which means
that he must call on each of the for
tyand solicit his vote. Even if the
candidate is sure of his election, he
is held to comply with the usage.
Where there is little chance of sue
cess, the candidate is often encour-
aged through that French politeness
which cannot say no. Occasionally
he is subjected to a little catechism
in a general way in reference to his
claims. One candidate thus ques-
toned said that he had made book
on the Babylonian arch. 'Whatr
exclaimed the academician; 4 pub
lished one on that subject in 1927
The other had not seen it. you
have not seen it?' returned the i'm
mortal Indignantly. The candidate
meant to say that he had seen it and
read it with much interest. Then,
sir observed the academician, since
| exhausted the subject, you have
plagiarized me,-you are on the
worse horn of the dilemma,-I bid
you good morning, sir"

The result of the Judicial Conven-
ton, which was in session in this
city when our paper was made up
last week, was the denomination Of
d. S. Wilson, of Dubuque, for Dis
trict Judge, as expected and provided
for in the exceptional manner related
two weeks since. We notice that
the Democratic attorneys of Dubu-
que, who care more that the judge
shall be located in that city than for
party success, and who probably fear
that the Anti-Monop convention may
nominate some country lawyer even
less efficient than Judge Wilson,
have united in card endorsing the
nomination of the latter, and advis-
ing that no other candidate be put in
nomination. This they do, as they
say, on the principle that judicial
nominations should be non-partisan.
Just how the action will be regarded
by the faithful outside of Dubuque,
and just how much of it will be i'm
putcd to principle, and how much to
selfish interests remains to be seen.
If it is acquiesced in it may be taken
as an indication that the bar of the
district, without regard to party, re-
gard Judge Wilson as the best ma
tcrial to be had under the circum-
stances. Good talent can rarely be
had for the present compensation Of
our judges, and until the salaries are
raised, we suppose it is useless to ex-
pcct any Improvement Oh the present
dead-level of mediocrity that has pos
session of the bench.
=. S.-Since the above, was writ
ten, the Dubuque Herald comes to
hand with proposition that betrays
the animus of this pretended mag
nanimity of the Dubuque democratic
lawyers. 1t is to the effect that the
Republicans drop Powers for Dis
taict Attorney and substitute can
didate of the Anti-monopoly persuas-
ion. In this way those extremely
generous and magnanimous wire
pullers in Dubuque expect to get rid
of Powers, who has an uncomfortable
way of prosecuting liquor sellers just
like other violators of the law, and
at the same time secure both Judge
and District Attorney in Dubuque.
The dlsinterestedncss, and devotion
to the principle Of non-partisan judi
iciary of those fellows in Dubuque is
positively affecting.

The people along the line Of the
unfinished Iowa & Pacific Railroad,
are kept in a continual state of "sus-
penders" as Mrs. Darlington would
say, over the shifting probabilities of
the completion Of the road. Mr..
Graves, of Dubuque, the President Of
the Company, is in Europe trying to
raise money on the bonds, and ap~
pears to be shaving time Of it,
One week he writes that the pros
poets for success are very brilliant,
whereupon the papers along the line
will blossom out in exuberant head
lines and the hopes of all interested
will go to the highest pitch. The
following week the intelligence from
him is rather blue; an unlocked for
hitch has occurred, the capitalists on
the other side of the hening pond
arc suspicious Of the intentions of the
Changers and don't "come down"
worth a cent, &C., so the spirits of
the friends of the road fall to zero,only
to be raised again the next week, and
AGAIN cast down. This see-saw has
been going Oh for months, and yet
J. K. has not given up the ship; the
last bulletin from him, received the
first part of this week, being to the
effect that prospects are encouraging.
The moral of all this is, that Euro
peaa capital is not being shelled ont
SO literally to build railroads in this
country as few years ago.

Hon. G. G. HEBERLING, chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, was in the city yesterday.
He reports that all accounts from ev-
cry quarter of the State so far as he
has been enabled to gather them are
of the most encouraging character.
From all directions comes deep-seat-
ed dissatisfaction among the politi-
cal miscegenationists as to the per-
sonnet of their ticket. There seems
to be not one strong candidate
among them all; and to say nothing
of the platform, which seems to be a
poorly woven mass of political axi-
oms, behowered with snatches of
"My Maryland" "Old John Brown"
the multiplication table, some out
grown paragraphs Of the Westmin-
ster catechism, chapter each of
Robinson Crusoe, the Arabian Nights
and the Swamp Land Investigation,
the dead weights of the Bill Stone
character have already driven Anti
Monopolism into hopeless bankrupt
cy-
The excellence of the Republican
ticket-as strong as ever was offered
to the people of Iowa-together with
the sound, plain and honest platform,
are in such striking contrast to those
of the opposition that hundreds and
thousands who heretofore have paus-
ed in doubt, no longer hesitate.
From information already at hand
the State will 60 Republican by thir-
ty thousand majority. Mr.. Fl. hears
that in many parts of the State, the
Autobiography crowd are utterly de
moralizcd, and already throw up the
sponge.-DubuQue Times, 10th.

A Leayenworth Wedding.

A wedding which deeply interest
ed two youthful residents of Leaven-
worth, Kan, is thus chronicled by
the Commercial of that city: Gle
was Is and she sweet Is; his father
was memorable; so, after raising the
wind to the extent Of SO, he, she, and
her mother, with a mutual friend,
boarded the cars for the friendly
glens of Missouri. After paying
fare for the round trip, and $3.50 to
the parson, the twain, made one,
landed in Leavenworth with the
large fortune of 81 in greenbacks.
Repairing to saloon, ice cream and
cake were set up, reducing the cash
to two nickels. Nothing daunted,
two glasses of soda were called for,
and the newly-married couple start
ed to begin life's welded dream
without copper"

For Congres.man-G r. Willet.

1t has become apparent during the
past week that the friends Of Judge
Willett intend to push his name as a
candidate for Congress. Doubtless
a delegation will be accorded to him
from this county {; but we hope that
in no case will it be a delegation that
will be against any other northern
man, in the event Of second choice
becoming necessary. This much is
requisite if the Winneshiek delega-
ton is to meet the delegations from
other northern counties on square,
equitable terms. Winneshiek county
can ask no more of these counties
than she is willing to grant in any
contingency. OF this We are posit-
i've, because as we view it, the nomi-
nation of a southern man at this juno
ture will be inviting party defeat.
Our views of the Congressional sit
uation have all been given from the
standpoint OF interest for the party
welfare; and not in the least dicta-
ted by personal dislike or favoritism
for any candidate. The campaign is
one in which the issues rise higher
than individuals or ambitions, and
these must be subordinate to the par
ty veal and perpetuity. AT this hour
we can see no reasons for any change
in any opinion that has been express
ed by the Republican.
Judge Willett is undoubtedly the
equal of any one suggested for the
Office, in all the essential qualifica-
tons of a Congressman. 1t is only
a knowledge of the unfortunate con-
dition of our local politics that has at
any time made us doubt the wisdom
of his candidacy. If the convention,
after canvassing the entire ground,
should, in its superior wisdom, judge
him best fitted to carry the party
standard through to victory, we
shall gladly give him our hearty sup
port and do our full share towards
the success which ought to be OBJ
tanned, but which must be fought for
inch by inch and foot by foot.

On the LIST of the month a little lad
named Charley, son of a German
named Heinrich Klopke, residing
near Princeton, in this county, swal-
lowcd-so says our cautious inform
anita two-bladed brass-handled
knife three inches long, three-fourths
of an inch thick, weighing two oun-
ccs," which the same was ascertained
by measuring and weighing one ex-
actly similar in shape and size. He
was playing with it, when he remark
ed he could put it in his mouth. This
was doubted by one of hisrlaymates,
and in making the attempt it slipped
down his throat. 1t gave him no
pain, nor was it the cause of any bod
lily distress. About four days after
this stupendous swallow, while the
boy was returning from the La Claire
celebration, the knife departed from
out the modern whale who had gulp-
cd down Jonah in the shape of cut
lery, and the boy still lives, ishealthy
and happy.

WITHIN twenty days from the pas
sage of the new currency bill, appli-
cations have been received from
some thirty new banks in the north
west for currency to the amount Of
$3,0OO,OOO. In the meantime, nine
banks in the same locality have
withdrawn currency to the amount
of 81, 100000, leaving net gain Of
$l,s34,OOO. At the same rate, there
will be an expansion of currency in
the Northwest, at the end of six
months, equal to $ll,OO4,OOO. AS
the new currency bill provides that
only $30,OOO,9OO of currency held in
the East can be redistributed prior to
june 80, 1875, it is plain that, if the
Northwest continues to call for "more
money! with the vigor with which it
begins, the supply will be exhausted
before the limit fixed, and leave moth
ing for the South. This showing
fully justifes all that the advocates
of expansion have claimed, and the
result gives them lively satisfaction.

AN OBSTINATE PREACHER.-A
county in Nebraska has been agitated
by an extraordinary bit of polemic.
The question was, Whether, when
a minister refuses to call off the sets
at dance, is it sufficient evidence of
heretical tendencies?" The debate
was not so animated as it would have
been if anybody Except the minister
himself) could have been found to
uphold the negative. The decision
was against this over-scrupulous gem
tleman, and the indignant population
gave him "a hours in which to leave
the county, with his baggage and the
Bible which he had studied to SO lit
tie purpose.

JUICE TnAYER, of the Clinton
Age, says frankly that the reason why
he supports the Autobiography party
is because he wants the old Office
holders turned out and the new ones
put in. He has found saint or
bad smell" in the new party, one
manifestation Of which is, that while
opposition to railroads is ostcnsibly
one Of its principles, it really "has
a much more Nderalleanimg toscards
railroads than has the Republican
platforms" which, to say the least, is
not very consistent for an santi-mo-
nopoly" party.
But the Judge has hopes that the
"taint" and unsavory odor of the An
ti-Monops may be removed. Here
is the process.
Contact and communion with
a more healthy organization arc rap
idly removing the faint, and long be-
before the election, the Anti-Monopo-
ly party will bethe sweetest smelling
party in the State.
The "healthy organization" of
course is the Democratic party, and
we suppose the disinfecting proposed
is on the principle that two bad
smells will neutralize each other,
just as the village doctor told the old
woman to chew hen manure for her
bad breath. But how do Republican
Anti-Monops like the. suggestion of
"taint" that associations with the
dead carcass Of Democracy would
purify?

CHAIRMAN HEBERLING, of the Re-
publican State Central Committee,
reports that from all parts of the
State he receives the most cheering
news in regard to prospects of the
cause of Republicanism in this State.
Everywhere the ticket nominated is
regarded as a strong and good one,
and this year the Republicans pro
pose to turn out and vote. They
heard just enough of the old Demo
cratic yell over the decreased vote OF
last year to stir them to action, and,
with the good feeling and harmony
now prevailing, a good report may
be expected of them on election day.

CONVERTING SUGAR INTO DIA-
MoNDs.-A French chemist is nour-
ishing the hope of turning his labor
atory into diamond-mine. The
chief material with which he works
is sugar. By exposing the perfectly
burned article to a temperature of
1900 deg. Fair, in a closed vessel
without access Of air, he has already
obtained a carbon cylinder hard
enough to cut glass. By this meas
ure of success he is encouraged to
continue his experiments in full faith
that he will yet be able to transform
the products of the beet and cane in
to black diamonds, if not colorless
ones. The idea that liquid gems
course the veins Of these saccharine
vegetables is marvellous one, and
certainly dazzling to those engaged
in raising sngaryieldirg crops.

say that such publication, at this

consent. We suffered friend in

ton, but we did not design to have it
published, nor in our Judgment has
the time yet come for its production
