,,,ne bopelessness of making any

The hopelessness of making any
breach in Gov. Kirkwood's record by
any truthful statement or candid ex-
animation of facts, is rendering the
Democratic organs desperate, and
they are resorting to the reckless and
INSCRIPTIONS means SO familiar to
majority of them. The Dubuque
Herald has been employed during
the whole campaign in manufacture
ing out of its own unpr1ncipled imag-
nation, the most fragrant and reck-
less falsehoods regarding Gov. Kirk
wood and his reported utterances.
One of these, sent out a week or two
since, to the effect that Kirkwood, in
referring to the Irish and German
citizens of Iowa, said: "Uncle Sam
requires no assistance from the id
Hessians," The State Register hav-
ing cornered the Herald ly the de-
mand to know when and where this
reported speech was made, the latter
sneakingly replies that it is "inform-
ed on reliable authority" that it was
Gin 1864, either at Independence or
Waterloo, Iowa" A correspondent
Of the Dubuque Times, at Waterloo,
who noticed the Herald statement,
took pains to investigate it, making
his ENQUIRIES among Democrats and
Republicans alike, and thus gives the
result:
II have conversed with numbers of our
citizens, including several of our most
intelligent Germans, acho haze heaqd KIRK
GOOD eocry time lie has spoken III Water
Too, and have yet to find one aoho has
not gipep this assertion the broadcast posi-
bic contradiction. No such language was
ever used by Kirkwood in any speech ev-
er delivered by him in this city; nor, for
that matter, by any other speaker"
A pretty thorough canvass of those
who heard Gov. Kirkwood's speeches
in this city, has developed not SIN
gle individual who heard any such
language as that imputed to him by
the Herald, or anything i'll the re-
motest degree resembling it. The
chaoactcr of the statement as
shameless lie, for which the Herald
is alone responsible, and for which it
probably had not particle of foun-
dation, is we'll established here.

THE Des Moines Register has fol-
lowed up and easily refuted a num-
Der of the campaign ISLANDERS against
Gov. Kirkwood, now swarming from
the Democratic press Of this State.
In late issue it puts quietus upon
the charge that Gov. Kirkwood, while
executive of the State, specialized in
arms and army clothing, to the detri-
ment of the service and the "boys in
blue" 1t shows conclusively, by the
testimony of the old Auditing Board,
one of it's members an old time Dem
ocrat, that the charges are wholly
false and infamous; that no contract
for arms was given out during Gov.
Kirkwood's term of office, and that
in the only contract for clothing en-
tered into by the State, thst for the
first three regiments, he had 10 in
terest whatever, nor attempted in any
way to influence the awards. Elk
Gov. Merrill took the contracts for
this clothing, and received pay for
the same, only after rigid scrutiny Of
his accounts by the Auditing Board,
which had the power to cnt down
or TO throw out any claim submitted
TO it.
We think, however, that it was
hardly necessary to take so much
pains to squelch this falsehood, as the
Democratic authors of it have not
dare to make the charge specific, or
even to put it in the positive form,
) only suggesting it in the interroga-
! sive form: "Did not Gov. Kirkwood
do so-and-so, and if he did not, let
him prove it, &c. ad ''auseuna.

of the State, and then demand that

"When did Shepherd Letter, Cover

Mr.. SHEPHERD LEFFLER. the De

Mr.. SHEPHERD LEFELER, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, made
4 speech at Council Bluffs last Friday
evening, III which he made boast of
the not crcditable fact that while q
member of Congress he voted for the
infamous Fugitive Slave Law, and
said: "Were l again in Congress,
and were the circumstances the same,
l would again vote for the Fugitive
Slave Law" Is it at all likely that
honest Liberals and Anti-Monopolists
who still profess to hold to Republi-
can principles, will vote for a man
who thus publicly declares that the
events of the last fifteen years have
only confirmed him in the Bourbon
ism of the Buchanan and Judge
fancy era?

AN Iowa correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer is sure that the
prospects of the Democracy in Iowa
are frightening, and as reason for
his faith, gives the best reason posi-
bic, if true, and that is, that "Whisky
and beer are gradually asserting their
rights."

Dogs and Niggcrs.

The Monticello Eapress OF July
sth contained the letter qfya cores
pendent, giving what nrperted to be
speech delivered nt Cascade, in
ls4o, by Shepherd Leffier, the present
Democratic candidate for Governor,
in which that worthy made most
abusive and violent onslaught upon
the negro, derisively ridieuling the
idea OF calling him human, Hkening
him to dog, only placing the dog
higher in the scale; and declaring
that the notion of freeing the negro,
and turning these animals loose
upon the country" was an insult to
white men, besides other bitterly
virulent remarks of like nature, char
acterlstic of the Democratic politician
of the period.
When this record came to light in
the Espress, suspicious that it might
be a campaign canard we hcsitated
about copying it, and when it came
to the notice of Mr.. Letter, he author
lied the Davenport Democrat to con-
tradict it, which it did in guarded
manner, saying that Mr.. Letter made
no speech in Cascade in ls49, and
that he never used the language i'm
puted to him Gin Congress, or out"
The Monticello paper rejolns, how
ever, that the speech of Mr.. LETTER,
reported in its columns, is substan-
tally that made by him, but that it
was in ls4s, instead of 1s49, as first
reported. 1t reinforces this state
ment by the testimony of reliable
witnesses. One of them, Hon. Otis
Whittemore, resident of Jones
county for thirty years, heard Mr..
LETTERS speech, and declares that, as
given in the Express, to the best of
his recollection, the language is al
most precisely that used by Letter.
Mr.. Robert Snowden, another old
resident and one of the staunch, re-
liable men of the county, is positive
that the correspondent quoted LETTER
correctly. Other reliable witnesses
are equally clear on this point, and it
seems established beyond question
that LETTER did OIL the occasion re-
ferrcd to uncap the venom against
the negro, born of slavery, and pecul-
lar to the apologists for slavery in
the North. Mr.. Letters speeches,
since his present nomination, indi-
cate that he has not changed, though
a little more discreet in his language.

The South has not abandoned the
hope Of renewing its influence at
Washington. The Galveston Neics,
after accepting the statement that
there will he no Haunting of rebel
liou5 records IN the next congress,
says: The South can never be poor
in hrst-rate elements of statesman
ship while she has descendants of
that old stock which, by force of iu-
t~ellect, character, culture, eloquence
and address, exercised in former
times IA salutury and welcome ascen-
dency in the councils of the Union.
II would not have prcponderated had
1t not deserved to do so. 1t swayed
the councils of the Union because,
until the North was possessed by the
aggressive frenzy personified in John
Brown, it was recognized as pre-emi-
nently sagacious and skiIlful in pre-
serving the peace and promoting the
common interests of the Union.
Why should not the scions of that
old stock, now that the Union is re-
established, aspire to repeat-chang-
ing what must be changed-the story
of the ancestral service and renown ?

a special from Montreal says;
Thousands visited the scene of the

The grave OF Guibord's wife, which
was recently opened for the reception
of Guibold's remains, being the chief
object Of attraction. 1t is rumored
that systematic preparations are be-

IN and around the city TO prevent the
burial, and that arms ere being trans
ported TO aid. the belligerents. 1t is
also stated, on good authority, that
precautionary measures are being
taken by the members of the French
Canadian institution to prevent the

A rather curious case has come be-
fore the commissioner of pensions for
his decision. a woman who had
been married, and whose husband
deserted her in 1860, was married
again in 1862, to another man, with
out an actual divorce, although the
law of Pennsylvania makes deser-
ton for two years good ground for
divorce. The second husband be-
came a soldier and died in 1865, In
1872 the Legislature of Pennsylvania
passed an act legalizing the latter
marriage, and the woman now comes
forward as an applicant for a pension
as the widow of the soldier, her Sec
ond husband. The commissioner
holds that as the first parties had not
been divorced at the time of the
death of the soldier, when the claim,
if any accrued, the woman was not
the lawful wife of the soldier, and
the act Iof the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture being retroactive, is unconstitu-
tional and would be void if it applied
to the claim.
