that our bonanza is big thing and take
il all in all, we would not swap sides of

We have half dozen honest miners who
can buy and sell your Stewart and Van

preserve good conscience and possess a

box in each of the insane asylums, where

GOV. kirksyOou and Rack Pay.

The Davenport Denlocrat has OF
late been making terrible how
against EX-Guv. kirkwood, and ull
the smaller Democrats in the State
echo the snarl. The Dubuque Times
answers the charge thus:
The Davenport Democrat thinks it
is making II strong point against
Hon, Samuel j. Kirkwood because
the latter, when elected TO ill the
uneNpired term of James Harlan in
the Y. ). Senate, received pay back
to the time Mr.. Harlan resigned
the facts being simply these:
Mr.. Harlau's resignation took effect
May 18th, 1863, utter Congress adj
journed. Gov. kirkwoGd WAS elec-
ted 10 the Senate on the 10th of JAN
uary, 1866. and took his seat a few
days thereafter, about a month after
Congress convened. iec0rdliRg TO
he uRirerSQi r,tte, serving out an
unexpired term, he was allowed the
salary Of the office fgoin the date of
the resignation of his predecessor.
This has been the custom, We i3elieve
from the foundation OF the govern
ment, and no nan ever entered Con-
gress to fill an uneXpired tenn who
did not receive the back salary, Just
rs Gov. kirkwood received it. a
recent instance was the case Of that
good Democrat, Hon. $. >. Cox, uf
New York, the leader of the Dem
ocrats in the House of Representa-
tives, and man for whom the Dav-
export Democrat protests high
admiration. Mr.. Cox WAS elected to
fill the uneXpired term of the Hon.
James Brooks, aud though elected
some months Hfter the deatk Of Mr..
Brooks, received the salary Of the
office for the period dated from the
death Of his predecessor. The law
fixes an annual salary TO the GtliCcs
of Senator and Representative in
Congress. If two men ill out one
term, the two men draw this salary
and only tkis. The first draws To
the date of giving up tho OH te.
The successor draws the balance OF

Mccormack reiterates his falsehood
pointed out by the JOURNAL last
week and supplements it with seve-
raj others no less malicious. He is
more careless Of the truth than
ever since his return from the
free whisley convention. lie has
stumbled upon one honest deed !,
however this week in heading his
State ticket " Democrctic," thus fol-
lowing the lead of the Keok ak
Constitution, Dubuque Ueraid and
Ottumwa Democrat, and carrying
out the pre-arranged programme
laid down by the B0urbOns who in
vited the Anti-monopoists to the
feast at Des Moines, there giving
them but crumb, and then coming
home and insulting them by telling
them that the crGmb was Democrat
ic and they are Democrats, having
partaken at the feast. 1t is honest
in one sense to call the ticket and
the party Democratic, because they
are such; but the Antics cannot
perceive any large amount Of honesty
in the trick by which they have
heen sold out to Democracy.
