election of Republican Congress
man next year, but the Republican
votes necessary to do tina, little Job
still exist nevertheless. Proceeding
sufficiently vigorous to get them out.
and sufficiently judicious TO secure
them for the Republican nominee, is
all that is necessary.
The following, from the Monticello
Espress, is not far out of the way:
The Senatorial question is now the
exciting subject of discussion in pol
litical circles. Harlan is promptly
named Is . candidate. The Mar
shall Republican is hardly committed
to his candidsture. and we suspect /
the Burlington Ha,ek-Eys. Anmoea
Eureka, and other papers We might
name, are more partial to Mr. Harlan.
Secretary Belknap win have many
friends in the Legislature this winter.
and his election would not greatly
disappoint or displease anyone. Nc
Crary is occasionally mentioned, but
so far As we can Judge his prospects
are not encouraging. kirkwocd's ei-
ection for Governor ought 10 be
equivalent to his withdrawal from the
contest. Really the strongest man
named thus far is Hon. Hiram Price
OF Davenport. We don't know any
thing about the individual views of
our representatives elect upon this
subject, but We feel qualified to say
that we do not believe they can bet
ter meet the wishes of the vast ma
iority of their constituents, than by
casting their votes every time for
Hiram Price"
The Chicago Journal in an intelli-
gent article on "ihe postal service as
an index of popular intelligence"
paws the following compliment to the
reading and thinking population of
Iowa.
sine young State of Iowa, with its
Eastern derived population, its free
schools, churches and newspapers
only about = quarter of
century old-receives at and sends
forth from its postofices more mail
matter than those of the entire State
of Pennsylvania, although the latter
was one OF the original States of ,hs
Union and has ABOUT three times
more inhabitants than the former
The reason is that Pennsylvania did
not wake up to the importance of
free schools, popular education and
material progress until years after
Iowa became q State. Iowa has al
ways given special attention to free
and there is no State in the
Union that has as many schools and
that is in every respect, SO
or that has so few peo-
pie who cannot read or write, in pro-
portion to its entire population, AS is
that glorious young commonwealth
