The Knoxville Democrat and the
Ottumwa Democrat are terrible exer-
cised because the President has nom-
mated and the Senate confirmed one
James F. Pagan as U. s. Marshal for
the Western District of Arkansas;
and the Democrats aforesaid allow
themselves no rest because Pagan
was a rebel brigadier general, and
because Leighton Of the Oskaloosa
Herald, Hamilton of the Ottnmws
Courier, and Barker Of the Knoxville
JOURNAL were in the Union army
and found occasion to level their rifles
upon the battaIlions commanded by
this Arkansaw General Pagan.
These Democratic editors are never
satisfied. They curse Grant II he
does and d-n him If he don't. III,
in compliance with petitions from
the southern people, he appoints an
ex.rebel to place, he is pelted with
curses by these northern editors who
are assisting the White Leaguers 70
organize another rebellion. If Grant
refuses the requests poured upon him
from the South and appoints any
ether than an ex-rebel, land none
other will suit the White Leaguers)'
then these northern spaniels heap
their harmless anathemas upon hin
and declare him q tyrant, an oppres'
sor. an arrant usurper, and call upon
him to resign In order that the dear

The Burlington Havkeye, Reput

The Burlington Havkeye, Repub
lican, says:
This is suggestive paragraph IL
relation to the composition OF the
next House Of Representatives
There will be eighty-six eX-rebei Of
ficers and soldiers, and twenty-thret
Union officers and soldiers. A pretty
showing, and one which needs nc
comments, but it's something thai
will set men to thinking.
And the Charlton Leader, Demo.
cratic, makes the following frank
admissions:
1t is suggestive idea, indeed, and
the more one looks at j. the more
suggestions present themselves to
his mind for reflection. Let US see
about this and present few pleasing
suggestions concerning the aforesaid
Suggestive paragraph" We believe
it was Horace Greeley, the great
father of Republicanism, and main
stay of Abolitionism, who, the day
after Gen. Lees surrender OF the
Southern troops, advocated All imme-
dfate proclamation of general ann
pesty. 1t was Horace Greeley and
other distinguished radical anti-slav.
cry men who signed jeff. Davis bail
bond, setting him at Liberty. IL was
Gen. Grant who sent reported messa-
ges into Congress advocating the re-.
moyaI Of all the disabilities imposed
upon Southern rebels, and the restor-
ation to them of all their former ie-
gal rights and franchises. IL was the
leader of the great Republican war
party of this country, in Congress as.
sernbled, who SO warmly advocated
the same principles Of generosity to-
ward their fallen enemies. IT was
the great leaders and shining lights
OF Rapublicanism, and Republican
statesnanship In their state and Ma
tional Convention, who boldly es-
poused the. same chivalrons seDu'
ments and proclaimed them as car.
dinal doctrines in their State and
National platforms.

FACTS.

The letter published last week
from our Pleasantville correspondent
causes friend Barker TO gnash his
teeth. He even asserts that the
letter WAS written by a resident ol
Pella for the purpose Of causing
trouble between Knoxville aud
Plessantviile. Bro. Barker, you
blindly jumped at the conclusion,
and, Of course, fell short OF the mark.
Consider well before you leap next
time. II it will be OF any satisiac-
ton to you to know the truth Of the
matter, we can assure that the letter
referred 10 was written By a citizen
Of PleasCo,tuitle, one who has become
tired of promises made only To be
broken; one who represents the feel
ing OF numbers OF other men In that
neighbOrhood, as sound and reliable
~ are TO be found in the county
An attempt to kill the matter by
ridicu!iDg il will not work. Those
men nmean business" and are not
going to permit the wool TO be
drawn over their eyes in the manner
the Journal attempts. Bro. B. grows
eloquent, and lifts up his voice as
follows:
I'VE have taxed ourselves go 900
to that end, for building a road to
Pleasantyillel, are ready 10 do as
much more, and are now faithfully
negotiating Ill opportunity to invest
that amount or more in such a road.
Has Pella done 81 much /? Has it
done anythingy Is it likely to do
anything? Does 1t really desire to
do anything more than TO secure
another road from the East as far as
PelIa, and hold the trade IL has from
this side Of the river by preventing
the building Of a railroad that would
cut of from 1t this trade ~
To the questions: "Has Peila
done anything? Is 1t likely to do
anything?u we have this to say
A short time since a committee OF

From OTLEY.-The Monroe Herald
Of last week contains communication
from Otley, over the signature Of a
Newcomer" from which we extract
the following:
We see that the Plessantville cores
pondent of the Pella Blade "gets on
his ear" lately Oh the railroad ques-
tion, and suggests that IL viii make
Pei!a the county seat Of Marion county
ii Pella will help Pleasantville build u
railroad between the two towns. ! atn
inclined to think he is u little like
Daniel w. on certain occasion.
How much is the national debt l.
LII pay 1t myself" Those chaps
over about Pleasantville are many of
them grangers, and will remember
that the course Of the grange In Iowa
particularly Marion county, has not
been such AS to give those owningcap-
ital very much confidence in any rail-
road investment in Iowa. In fact,
Gyntlemen graDgers, you have just cut
oil your own nose to spite your own
face. You don't want any middle men.
What more are railroads ? In short,
you propose to run all institution OF
your own, and IL one-hOrse institution
At that. Suppose now that you build
q wooden one-horse railroad to Otley
on your own, and on grange account,
aud perhaps you could borrow the sur
plus capital Of the Otley grange 10
assist you in completing your "one-
horse road" and then you could get
up county seat Of your own on the
other side of Jordan"
We hear Of few cases of spotted
fever among the children, Ia and
around Otley.
The sheriff made our town q visit
this week, he had pocket full Of
we can look for him again about court
Donnel d Co., grand jurors.
t" Newcomer should not blame the
grange for the expressions made by
one individual in the PIeasantville
letter to the Blade. II the writer OF
that letter wishes to be regarded as a
mouth. piece for the people OF Pleas
antville and vicinity, and really, M he
pretends, expresses the sentiments Of
a majority, or even respectable
minority Of those people, he should
show courage enough to give his real
name. He IL entitled to very little
consideration while he speaks from
behind curtain. Ifhe has respect
able backing he need not fear to be
known. 1t Is not fair to charge his
spiteful expressions and motives upon
the people Of Pieasantville, nor upon
the grange until he Is known and they
have endorsed him. We shall hope TO
hear from him again over his true sig
nature. He 10 not worthy al answer

aud speaks out like a fuan kp.

southern people may have officers Of
their own choosing to do the work OF
the U. 8. Government among them,
to arrest men guilty of crimes against
the Government. They want such
men as Caperton and Gordon and
Marmaduke and Forrest to make the
laws, and the same sort Of men to
enforce them. And of course they
are as mad as bear with a sore head
whether their wishes are gratifled or
not. 1t is great pity Grant will
not take counsel from Evans and
Mccormack and allow them to die
tate to him in such matters as the
appointment of United States Mar
shals for the several little districts In
Arkansaw.
