A discussion of tho Senatorial
question has become quite general
throughout the State, and the names
of Kirkwood, Belknap, Price, Harlan
and McCrary have become promi-
nent for the position. We are not
Informed of the preference which the
members of this county may have,
and between the candidates mention
ed there is probably no particular
anxiety felt. Our choice, it any,
however, speaking for ourself, would
be for Hiram Price, in whom we be-
lieve there is excellent material for q
tirstrate Senator, K!rkwood will
make too good Governor. B.lk-
nap is very useful where he is, while
as to the others to elect Price would
be placing the Senatorship where it
would do the most good Victor IN

The Waterloo Reporter, last week,
had a we'll considered article upon
the Senatorial question, in which 1t
takes strong ground FIR the election
Of Hon. Hiram Price to that position.
1t says in conclusion:
ave have no hesitation in saving
that the preference of the Rrporter
is for the Hou. Hiram Price, and we
shall give him cordial and hearty
support, believing him to be, al! in
all. the very best man yet named for
the position. In saying this we by
no means under value. nor will we
treat lightly, the merits and claims
of the other gentlemen who are
named in connection with the posi-
ton. But we are simply quite clear
in the opinion that the honor of our
State, the interests of the people, and
the concerns of the Nation, in 80 far

The National Railroad Conven-
tion," in session at St. Louis this
week, was composed of 500 delegates
from q states. 1t adjourned after
endorsing Tom SCOTS Southern
Pacific Railroad project, and recon-
mending for it a subsidy from the
government. This was what the
convention was called to do, and still
we apprehend that Scott and his
ring Of spectators are not yet sure
of grasping the hundreds of millions
OF the Leople's money involved in
the scheme, though it is not safe to
rely upon the integrity of the next
House. With the mass of the peo-
pie, however, government subsidies
to railroads are not popular.

Death OF Vice.Presldent Wilson.

Hon. Henry Wilson, Vice-President
of the United States, died very sud-
denly, of apoplexy, at his rooms in
the Capitol, in Washington, on Mon
day morning at halfpast 7 o'clock
Mr.. Wilson was supposed to be re-
covering rapidly from his late sick
ness, and but a few minutes before
his death expressed himself as feel
ing brighter and better, and announc-
ed his intention to ride out during
the day. He then laid down on his
pillow, and in a few moments passed
into eternity without struggle. This
mournful event will be received in
all parts of the country with pro-
found sorrow. Truly a good and
great man has passed away. No
public man of our day was more
truly respected and loved by all
classes and conditions of people than
Henry Wilson. He stands grand
and majestic figure in our national
history. He made for himself a name
and fame as enduring as the republic:
not by the possession of an exception
ally brilliant intellect, but by the ex-
ercise of noble virtues. He was an
honest man, a true patriot, and con-
sclentious public servant. He was of
the type of stateman to whom parents
can point their sons with pride as
one Of those who, amid public de-
moralization and official degenera-
ton, preserved his honor bright and
his garments pure. The life history
of Henry Wilson is one that should
be closely studied by every Ameri-
can youth. Standing at the very foot
of the social ladder, the son of very
poor'man, without opportunity for
education, and with seemingly life
of dull, plodding toll before him, he,
by industry, studiousness, infexible
principles and good habits, steadily
rose, always adhering to the virtuous
impulses of his youth, until he
reached the second place of honor IN
the nation, and after life of honor
and usefulness, at last goes to his
award, his memory embalmed in the
tears and gratitude of his country.

BENJAMIN G. HARRIS, who was 4
member of Congress from Maryland
at the outbreak of the war, and gain
ed for himself Il shameful. notorletv
AS one of the most blatent rebels on
the floor of the House, comes to the
front again as candidate for the
position of Sergcant-at-Arms in the
next Democratic House. Inspired
by the fact that that body will con-
tain large proportion of men who
fought on the side of treason, and
confident of the considerations likely
to influence the action of the domin-
ant majority, Harris has issued a cir
cular, the spirit of which is indicated
by the following extract:
When in Congress, felt it my duty to
vote against every bill for the raising of
forces, and every bill for the appropria-
ton of money, to carry on the war, and
had the glory of receiving the censure of
the radicals of the House for uttering in a
speech the following prayer: "God Al
mighty grant you may never subjugate
the South" My greatest regret is that
God did not grant my prayer.

The Columbus Mlss.) MdeT, a
Democratic paper, IN an article glori-
fying over the result of the recent
election in that State, thus alludes to
the means used to win Democratic
success, and makes grateful acknowl-
edgement tor the aid rendered:
ave return thanks to our Alabama
friends who came to our assistance.
The self restraint they imposed was
as commendable as their promptness
in coming. Like good soldiers as
they were, they reported to the city
authorities and remained quietly in
their quarters until their services
should be needed. These brave Ala
bamians remembered that Walthall's
and Sharp's Mississippians and Deals
and Manigault's Alabanians had
fought side by side during four years
Of war, and they would not remain
in security while their former COM
rades were in peril"
1t is yet fresh in the recollection of
everybody how vigorously the Demo-
cratic and "Independent" press of the
North protested when the govern
ment sent troops to Louisiana 70 pre-
serve peace and avert bloodshed,
threatened by armed White Leagucrs,
and to protect honest voters in the
exercise Of their rights at the polls.
No terms of Remuneration were too
strong in which to characterize this
action of the Federal authorities,
although the aid was asked for by the
regularly constituted government of
Louisiana. 1t was pronounced a
monstrous ATTEMPT to overawe and
intimidate free people by show Of
military force; and there was no end
to the forebodings INDUCED in by
those virtuous papers in view of the
threaten d substitution ofcivil govern
ment by "the rule of the bayonet.
In Mississippi there were no govern
ment troops to interfere with the
avowed determination of the White
League Democracy to carry that State
'peacably, if they could; forcibly, if
they must" The above paragraph
shows that the military intimidation"
was on the other side, the means, in
fact, furnished by company of ex-
Confederate soldiers from Alabama.
Yet, with single exception, we fail
to hear protest from Democratic
paper, North or South, against this
kind of military intimidation. We
are, therefore, lett to infer that it is
not the employment of the military,
per Sc, that the Democracy are SO
tiercely opposed to, but only the use of
government troops to protect legal
voters who presume to vote the Re-
publican ticket.

The Belle Plane Union, edited by
Judge Frost, says: The Senatorial
tight begins to occupy the attention
OF Iowa newspapers. Some of the
papers say that Mr.. Harlan will posi-
lively be candidate. The Mt.
Pleasant Journal, published at the
ex-Senator's home, says that that is
more than he has authorized anyone
there to state. No doubt Mr.. Harlan
has many attached friends, many of
whom believe that his acceptance of
$4,000 from Durant, of the Union
Pacific road, to help carry a Senatori-
al election was somehow consistent
with strict personal integrity and
fidelity to public duty. However
these partial friends may regard it,
the people of the country at large
will not look upon the transaction in
that light, and the Republican party
OF Iowa could. perhaps, inflict no
greater injury. upon the Republican
cause in the Union than by returning
MIR. Harlan to the Senate. This may
seem to Mr.. Harlan's friends unjust
to him, but it is the language of
human experience and common sense.

The Keokuk Constitution, having
intimated that Senator Allison is de-
cidedly in favor of Gov. Kirkwood
for Z. S. Senator, the Dubuque
Times embraces the opportunity to
say that it is "quite sure that Mr..
Allison has not expressed himself
decidedly or otherwise, in favor of
Gov. Kirkwood, Or any other person"
While we should not take serious ex-
ception to Senator Allison's choice,
if he had expressed himself for Kirk
wood, it accords with our estimate of
his sound discretion and sense of
propriety to believe that he would
not seek to influence the election of
Senator in any way whatever.
