There can be no question in our

his charge against Davis. IL this ma
ton is to turn scoundrel and repudi-
ate her plightcd faith, her flag had
as we'll gone down OH the field OF
treason's war, for the very next step
towards that consumation is the de-
struction of her credit and honor, and
we just as much believe that the
greenback imitation dodge following
lowing the rebellion, was just as much
direct blow aimed at the integrity
Of the nation, and with purpose to
that end, as was the bristling bayo-
nets in the hands Of rebels on the
field of Gettysburg. True. there are
many men of both political parties
who, looking at it enormously, see
better times in the increase of green
backs, from an incorrect understand
ing of the subject, but with the old
rebel leaders and their prominent
sympathizers, we do believe their
views are largely the result of their
hatred of the government.

A story as romantic as fiction, but
which both tho MnscAtine Tribune and
Des MOines Journal vooch for AZ facts,
from a personal cognizanco of the do
tails OF the case, comes to us from tho
southern part Of the State. Twenty
years ago, S. Il. Carney, of Fremont,
o.. suddenly disappeared frem that
section, taking with him his two
youngest children, girls, aged two and
four years-eaving two other chill
dren, sOn and daughter, aged ten and
twelve years. with their grandmother.
He had married second wife, who
mado lifc very unpleasant for him and
his children. As the other children
grew to maturity, they made every
effort to find their youngest sisters,
but In vain. Last week a cattle buyer,
who formerly lived in Ohio, was in
Polk county, Iowa, and happened at q
house where he was brought face to
face with Young lady who seemed
the fac simile of one whom he had
met thirty-tve years before, and who
in those early days had played sad
havoc with his susceptible heart,
though his wooing had been In vain.
He asked her name, and was told
"Laura." THAT startled him still
more, and he inquired her other name.
She was married, but her maiden name
had been Carney" He assured him
self that tho lady was the daughter oi
the woman whom he had once loved
and Immediately wrote to the grand
mother of Laura's whereabouts, The
sequel can be imagined n reunion was
brought about. The oldest sister lived
In Chicago, married; the brother was
q practicing physician In ST. Louis; the
youngest sister lived not far from
Luray, in Polk county. The father
had left the little one with William
Van Horne, Of Polk county, while hs
went further west to ''scek his for
tune and has never been seen OF
heard from since. The joy Of all foul
OF the children--if il is proper to cal
them children yet, now that all ar,
married and have children Of thei
lown-is simply indescribable.
