Our telegraphic dispatches ycster.
day stated that one of the prominent
supposed actors in what was claimed
to be contemplated conspiracy in
Georgia, was acquitted upon a fail
trial; that there was 10 evidence
whatever, to prove any such conspi.
racy. This result shows just what W,
anticipated was the facts, but we con
fess we are surprised that evidence
enough were not trumpcd up to con-
Wet. Ex-Attorncy General Akerlnan,
was one of the attorneys for the de.
fence, and this, doubtless, has had
much to do with the fairness of the
trial accorded the accused, and has
squelched out all trumpcd-up evil
dence. II is against all the expert
ence of every man who has knowl-
edge of the colored race in the South,
to find them in conspiracy against the
whites. They have little or no dis.
position to do so, while Il portion OF
the white race are continually study
ing devilment in regard to the blacks,
and plotting against them.

Gov. kIRKwooD is opening up the
campaign in gallant style. He was AT
Burlington on Wednesday. and at
Keoknk on Thursday, Mt both of
which places, accordingto the Hawh-
eye and Gate CITY, he made splendid
speech. We believe there is no man
in Iowa, to-day, who will draw bet
ter, or who can discuss more ably and
satisfactorily political issues, than
Governor Kirkwood. Indeed, were
we called upon to name the man in
Iowa who could and would best
please the people upon the stump at
this time, we should select Governor
Kirkwood. Though his speeches read
we'll, and are full of sound, ineontro-
vertible logic, yet to be fully appreci-
ated, they should be heard. We cx-
pect very large turnout to hear him
in this city next Tuesday, and we feel
sure that everybody who hears him
will be very highly entertained.
