Yesterday We received the following
telegram:
VIRGINIA. Oct. 9. 1874.
Hurry Mishels- Please do me justice.
See Enterprise yesterday and this morn
ing. JOHN l. GIsS.
We never intended TO do az injustice
to Mi CHM nor any other person. We
supposed, indeed, until We saw Nr DO
CARTS card Of Thursday evening that he,
Bogar., was the author of the article re-
fecting on Mr. Fair. Yesterday morn
ing card appeared in the Enterprise
signed 10y Mr.. CHM proIouncing the
charge made by Mr.. Bogurt to be false.
In last evenings Chronicle Bogart re-
news his cLarge against Ginn-couplins
the names of J. ID. Bethel and one Nc
Cutchan with that Of Mr. CHM. And
now, finally, Mr.. CHM appears in an ad-
rertised card in yesterdays Enterprise in
which he accuses Bogart OF "leaping
from one fslseLood to another"
aud denying Bosart's statements re-
la.iss q Bethel and NcCu,chan il
toto. To DO each justice, all round, We
can 60 no further than to give this, the
purport Of Mr.. Giun's card. Both he
and Boeart are explicit in their charges
and counter-chsrees. As to the APPEAL
it strives to be just to al!-badinage
aside We utu talk back; and, il need
be. fight our enemies and the enemies Of
the Republican party with their own
chosen weapons. But The very
leper shrinking from the sun, and loaih-
ed by charity, shall have justice"

l yINDlCATlON OF THE PEACE-
FUL CHARACTER AND AMIA-
BILE INTENTIONS OF GENERAL
WILLIAMS.

Some days since va alluded (ouly to
give discrediti 10 malicious rumor
which prevailed in certain quarters in
Virginia City. to the effect that General
Thomas Williams. ~ attorney for the
Smith faction, had advised the armed
resistance which caused the bloody
tragedy at the Justice mine. We think
We can prove 20 any candid mind, that
while the General is A very acute and
persistent advocate (ssen when himself
is his client. he is net a man Of bloody
mindeduess- much as he IS willing to
use the arts o. intimidation upon GUS
ceptib.e people. Our means and method
Of proc! are as follows:
In the early days Of the Washes *
citem.ui, Mr.. :. 4. Maynard. no~ q
parties. his associates. located a claim
at AnerIcan fls, and expended some
$40, 900 in prospecting the same. Some
months since, Mr. II being unable TO
carry on the work with his own H.sans.
associated several Carsoni,es with him,
and they proceeded TO reopen tho mine
through its old tunnel. That tunnel ID
about quarter Of mile west Of the
house where Tom Riley {the murderer
Of Tim Smith used to live, and the
little stream which flowed out Of it, sup
piled Rileys house with water. After
Riley's death. General Williams pur-
chased the right OF the widow Riley. TO
this water, and caused il to Be conveyed
to his mill in Spring Valley. In June
last, Mr.. Maynard and his associates
reopened their tunnel; and the Generals
foreman, at the Mill aforesaid, having
discovered that the Riley waters were
more than usually "riley'' went up to
the tunnel, discovered what was going
on, and then went to Virginia and re-
ported to the General Down came that
great and good man. to the tunnel,
forthwith. and with an imperious word
OF command, chilling to hear. but beau
tiful to behold. ordered the two men
who were working there to desis,. They
told him they were working for Mr.
Maynard and his associates, (giving the
names Of some Of them and either
kept at work or suffered the General to
board up the tunnel, We don't know
which. At all events, the General wrote
a letter to one Of the Maynard party;
and that communication which now lies
before US. winds up with these solemn
and significant words. to wit:
Certainly gentlemen Of intelligence
would not risk the ruin Of 20 much
property and involve themselves in diff
ficulty about SO small matter ~ sup

The History Of . Shoe.

The first thing that I can remem-
Der about myself is that l was a
part of the hide of an old COW, in a
farm yard; and the next knew was
that the people killed me to get my
meat to supply themselves with
food. Then they sold the hide for
good price to a shoemaker who
tanned 1t to make shoes for people
to wear. As soon as l was made
into shoe, the store keeper thought
l had such pretty form that he set
me in the window tor show. "A
little girl came in and bought me.
AS l was very small (No. 10y she
said l fitted her very nicely, but l
knew that her foot was larger than
she said, and as l was too small for
her foot, she was so annoyed with
me that she burst my side wide
open and then said that she took cold
and threw me right out Of her door
into the street upon great pile OF
stones where l am at present. l
think l shall very soon be devoured
by great dog that comes and bites
to pull me to pieces every day. l
hope that all other shoes will take a
lesson by my sad fate and not press
too tightly on some peoples toes,
who try to destroy everything that
does not suit them.

It has been decided that tax pur-
chasers can pay subsequent tax on
tax purchases Of 1872 and prior
years, prior to the first of March,
1874, and each subsequent year,
whenever due, will not be entitled
to penalty thereon unless paid after
such subsequent tax had become dc.
linquent, which, under section 10,
chapter l73, acts Of the Ninth Gen.
eral Assembly, was the first day Of
February. Such purchasers are en-.
titled to pay subsequent taxes on
and after the first day of February,
and have penalty thereon. 1t has
also been further decided, IN regard
to whether purchasers are entitled
to greater penalty than 20 per cent
on payments of subsequent tax on
purchases Of 1872, and prior years
that they are entitled to the per cent.
provided by the Lave under which
the purchase was made. All pur-
chases since 1862 are entitled to 80
per cent. under section Is aforesaid,
save those of 1878, who take under
section 500 of the Code. Section
800 of the Code does not apply to
purchases Of 1872 and prior, as is
apparent from the first line. "Real
property hereafter" that is after the
taking effect of said section, which
was Sept. LIST, 1878, and especially
so by section S9s Code. The rights
of purchasers cannot be impaired
by subsequent legislation, and hence
said section sos.

THE close of the fourth week of
the legislative session presented a
record of two laws enacted and one
of these providing for the mileage
of members, and per diem Of Off
GERS Of the Legislature. The re-
sponsibility for this slow progress
is mainly with the House, which
body has the largest proportion of
that "free party for which John
Irish made the pompous boast that
it would dispatch the business of
the session in six weeks, and thus
save the State 100000. Doubtless
many of the representatives of that
party thought they could do So
Among these was Mr.. Hindman,
one of the Autobiography members
OF the House from Johnson county,
who, when at home few days ago,
was constrained to admit to the ed.
itor OF the Iowa City Republican,
that the railroad regulation question
was big thing; bigger than he
thought, and that there was vast
amount Of demagogueism in the
Legislature; a state of things not "a
vorablo tor prompt or valuable leg
islation. .

Heads are of different shapes and
sizes. They are full Of notions.
Large heads do not NIL hold the
most. Some persons can tell what
man is by the shape Of his head.
High heads are the kind. Very
knowing people are called long
heads. A fellow that wont be stop
ed for eny boldly or eny thing, is
called hot headed. If he isn't quite
80 bright he is called soft headed.
If he wont be coaxed nor turned
they call him pig headed. The
heads of fools slant back. Our heads
are all covered with hair except
bald heads. There are other kinds
OF heads besides our heads. Bar
rel heads, heads of sermons, and
some ministers used to have fifteen
heads to one sermon; pin heads,
heads of cattle, as the farmer calls
his cows and oxen; head winds,
drum heads, cabbage heads, logger
heads, come to q head like boil;
heads of chapters, head him off,
head Of the family, and 60 ahead,
but first be sure that you are right.

In connection with some testimo-
hy given in one Of the courts at Des
Moines, to the effect that Judge
Cole, Of the Iowa Supreme Court,
permitted some Of his real estate to
be offered as prizes in a lottery,
with full knowledge of and consent
to such illegal disposition Of it, the
opposition press of this State have
opened upon him in full cry, demand
ing his impeachment, or at least an
investigation of the matter by the

selves, they would not in our judg-
ruent, warrant an investigation, but
as Judge should be above all sus-
picion Of wrong doing, and as other
facts bearing upon the transaction
might possibly be brought out by
such inquisitiou, We hope the Leg
islature will give its attention to the
matter; and if there seems to be q
possibility that the accusation
against Judge Cole may have foun.
dation, order the investigation.
Thus far we have failed to observe
that any Republican journal inter-
poses serious protest against such
investigation, and we have no doubt
that Judge Cole will court it. 1fhe

its necessity; If he is not guilty it

The Iowa CKy Republican is inform.

what Metbodist divine cannot do with

Ex-senator McNutt, of Muscatine,
who is SAID to be in training for an inde'
pendent race, for Congress, came very
near being incapacitated for that or any
other performance by the kick of mule
at sale few days since. To be kicked
by mules is not an unusual occurrence in
the experience of aspirants for Congress,
and doubtless McNutt will profit by this
mishap to cultivate cheerful philosophy;
pocketing the affront, considering from
whence 1t came.

from which to counterfeiting the descent
was easy. Hart is an ingraincd scoun.

From the Waterloo Reporter.
II. p. Spcer, one Of our Represen-
tatives, short time ago introduced
q bill into the Legislature, having
for its object the encouragement Of
fruit culture, particularly winter APP
pies. and wild plums. The bill pro.
vided State appropriation, as a
premium to pass through the hands
Of the State horticultural Society,
of one Thousand dollars, payable in
1885, some twelve years hence, on
the condition that the parties com.
peting for the premium. shall pro-
duce by cultivation new and SUI
perior variety of winter apple that
will keep in good condition until af.
ter April first, after gathering, and
of q superior plum improved from
native stock, to be variety not now
in existence, and superior TO any in
hardness, productiveness and quail
ity of fruit. The same superiority
to exist in regard to the new varie-
ty of apples as above. The apple
and plum as aforesaid to be exhibit
ed from year to year before the Hor-
ticultural Society, and the premium
to be awarded by q competent COM
mittee appointed by that body.
Mr.. Speer urged the adoption of
his bill in an earnest and able man.
ner, and succeeded in getting a
large vote in its. favor, but not
enough to carry it through. We
understand he will make an effort
to have it reoonsidered, andwe hope
he will have better success in bis
next attempt. Mr.. Speer is thor
oughly practical horticulturist, and
has devoted many years of his life
to the subject of fruit growing. The
appropriation asked is not an extrav-
agant one considering the import
snce of the results sought to DO at
tanned. Thousands OF dollars are
sent out Of the State every year to
buy winter apples; and just suchex-
periments rs Mr.. Speer's bill would
induce, might result in giving us
several varieties just as hardy and
just as good rs any we get from
Michigan or Ohio. We think the
State can afford 70 make IN insest-
ment Of this kind, and We believe
the results will justify the wisdom
Of the investment.

last week. They have flooded the
country with their circulars, signed

that they. have swindled the public
out Of over 100000. They escap.
