fuss about as to whether Kirkwood is
to be candidate for Senator or not, if
Letter is to beat him for Governor,
and the Democracy are to carry the

The Burlington Hasckeye speaks q

uDcalled for criticisms OF certain Re.
publican journals, more especially re-
forring to the Gate CITY. We have nc

Senator Harlan, whom we most cam
didly believe has been second to no
man in ability and character that we
ever sent to Congress. While we say
this we would re.iterate what We have

of corn that he has raised in Iowa to

But to treat seriously the Gdsette's
queries, we would say that Kirkwood
has go far as wo know been nominated
for Governor by the Republican party,
and to that office he will be elected
The party has certainly not nominated
him for any other office, and his cleo
ton by the party as Governor in no
possible way has anything to do with
the Office of Senator. If the Gazette
iaeans that IL demands of Kirkwood
that he shall pledge himself not to
accept the position of United States
Senator, If the party shall choose to
make him such, (snd for the life of us
we can't see what else it means), then
we would reply in the first place that
the Gazette is not exactly running the
Republican party of Iowa or its candi-
dates. In the next place wo would
say that Governor Kirkwood is not a
fool that he should decline an Office
away in the future that the party has
not given him any sort of intimation
or assurance 1t wants him to fill.
Again, in reply to tho Gazette in de-
Tense of the Hon. Joshua G. New bold,
we would say that in point of ability,
Mr.. Ncwbold is the superior of Shep.
Letter is every sense, his equal GER
tainly in character, and in political
principles he towers above Shep in
every way, just as high "a loyal,
faithful citizen can tower above man
whose exhibitions of disloyalty could
only be overlooked through the Glenn
ency of the government. If the Gov
ernorship of Joshua G. Newbold would
not adorn the Executive chair with the
highest order of talent, it most as
suredly would not Disgrace it. We
could not give any such assurance in
case of tho election of Letter.

THE Augusta Constitutioaalist has
not yet learned how to play the hypo-
critic. and does not, therefore, take
kindly to the "boquct" scene between
the colored LADY, and Gen. Forest,
at Memphis, on the Fourth of July
last. On the contrary, it is quite in
dignant, and says:
"When Forest and Pillow shake
hands over the bloody chasem with
Memphis washerwomen, and southern
soldiery are led to the tomb of Sum-
ner by Beast Butler, it may be that
General Preston has lived too long or
else that his holding fast to an old faith
amid Dragon-worship is Gin against
modern fashion. Be this as it may. it
needs no prophet to come from the
grave to predict, that. unless the peo-
pie OF the South are sunk in profound
est apathy or recklessness, few more
Memphis exhibitions will cause re.
action in favor of General Preston and
his address"
General Forest commanded at Fort
Pillow when it was captured by the
rebels, and the negroes inhumanly
butchered after the surrender. The
authenticity of the fact is too we'll es-
tablishcd to admit of question. 1t was
by no means the only instance of such
brutality during the rebellion; con-
duct such as never ought to be ex-
