The Governor of Iowa TO President
Grant.

The following letter from the Gov
ernor of Iowa has been received By
President Grant:
STATE or Iowa, Executive Department. !
DIS MoINEs, Iowa, January liz, 1875
To the President
have watched with anxiety the
progress and development of the
Louisiana inbroglio, and in the re-
cent climax OF an insurrectionary
spirit and purpose shown by the PEG
pie OF New Orleans, representing Sc
cret organizations hostile to the gov
ernment, | have been gratiied with
the promptness with which the revo-
utionary schemes We're met and de.
feated. 1t is also a source of gratif-
cation and an earnest indication OF
the wisdom and moderation with which
the military arm will be used to sup
press lais incipient rebellion, that The
commander OF this department is a
General whose past services To the
country, whose brilliant reputation as
a soldier, and whose patriotic devo'
ton to freedom are recognized and
trusted by every man whose heart
was with the Union during the war
of the rebellion.
These people do not believe he
wi abuse his power, and they know
that he Will not suffer the rights for
which he and hisc omrades periled
their lives in the past to be trampled
down by an organized mob. / may
safely say that the masses of Iowa,
who sympathized with you and your
army when you confronted the rebel
lion at Vicksburg and Richmond,
sympathize with you in your policy
to-day when confronting Its lingering
spirit at New Orleans. 1t is true that
the people who were with you when
civil liberty was imperiled by undis.
guised and recognised warfare will be
glad when the spirit of law and order
shall so far take the place of turbu-
lence and INSTRUMENTATION, and tram
guilty and peaceful industry shall
again prevail, that military interfer-
ence to preserve peace and prevent
bIoodshed will become unnecessary in
any of the States. But if the govern
ment of any state is to be gov
erned by force, they prefer Federal
bayonets, in the hands of men who
have proved their fidelity to the coun-
try, to shot-guns and bowie knives in
the hands of White Leaguers and
Union haters.
With great respect, truly yours,
G. g. CARPENTER.

sCHURZ DIsCoMFITED.
The willy Schurz was handled with
equal skill. He attempted to correct
Mr.. Irgan's statement that the
Louislans Legislature, as first organ
lied on the morning of the 4th, con-
.ained a republican msjority, but
was met with the undannted reply
that the facts proved the statement
as originally made. As Schurz had
stated otherwise in bis speech, he
felt that it was a matter of honor to
vindicate himself but Mr.. Logan
was too qiuck for him.
II want to know" asked Mr..
Logan, "whether your statement or
mimi is correct. z"
The HISTORIAN hesitated, and
then, brt aking completely down,
was forced to confess that he had
10 tentionally misstated he fact. His
situation was exceedingly humiliat-
ing, as his countenance very plainly
Indicated.
A MASTER EFF RI.
Senator Bayard. of Delaware, was
brought TO his knees with a similar
promptness. Throughout the effort
was u mastery one, and surprised
even the Senator'S most enthusiastic
friends. 1t was not polished. but
possessed vast deal of a peculiar
quality of rude vigor, which made it
effective. As Senator
Bogy, (democra of Missouri,
sad this evening, 1T showed Mr..
Logan to be man of more nerve
Than any one suspected, and raised
him away above any of his fellow
republicans" While the speech was
logical and teeemed with ugly facts
ira peculiar merit was is boldness.
BY this it won for the speaker the
Leadership of the party for some
time TO como.

ScHURz. The Springfield Repuh-
lcan says that Senator Schurz at the
expiration Of his term in the Senate,
will occupy his leisure time in literary
labor-among other things writing a
political history of the United States.
The Republican adds: Probably no
man in the country is better fitted for
writing snch a history than Dir.
Schurz. He has studied the subject
with enthusiasm and industry for
many years-so much so as to have
led Mr.. Charles Francis Adams 10 say
of him, some years ago, that the man
who best understood the political
history of Ameaica was German;
while he has the scholarly requirement,
and writing skill and mental impair
TALLY so necessary to do justice to
so great a theme.

the milk sold in New York and neigh
boring cities, are forming a combina-
ton to control the market. All the
dairymen are entering the movement,
and the Oranges which are enlisted IN
it have large membership. The far

now under the control Of the dealers,
and the business is not as certain or
as profitable as it should be.

Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad arrived
on Wednesday. with his staff for the purpose
of examining the various routes into and
out of our town. They will make the sur
veys necessary, and report to headquarters.
We think it is not definitely ascertained what
route the road will take, after leaving Ozark.
We think it pretty certain. however, that the
railroad will come through the center of the
town. Maj. Levette isa thorough and skillful
engineer, and has able and efficient assistants
who lose no time in getting to the work as
signed them. We hope our citizens will not

We have entered upon one of the most
charming months of the year, and one that,
in "merric old England" was welcomed by
a round of festivities. May-day was the joy
ous one of the year. Then a pole was erect
ed, which was garanded with flowers. around
which the boys and yirls capered in bolster,
GUS gee. The prettiest girl was chosen Queen
of May, and crowned with rosy wreath. In
our own country May-day is an occasion of
general rejoicing among the old as we'll as
young. Particularly appropriate is the cele-
bration Of the dawning of this month in our
climate. At this season nature has habited
herself in her loyeiest garb, and the long
vegetation has put aside the ha-
biliments Of death. and bursting the bosom
Of the earth. has leaped at once into life and
beauty. Why should we not rejoice with the
birds. and share with them their glec? The

Leather Shoddy Manufacturers.

Appropos Of recent article in these
columns on the revolution in the leather
trade, caused by the excessive demand
for the very poorest grades Of leather in
the market to an extent that stocks are
not only exhausted but the prices run up
almost to those of the best leather, while
the stores Of our dealers are filled with
the best qualities which are almost un-
saleable. now comes the Cincinnati En-
quirer and tells what is done with this
poor leather. 1t says: I'VE are informed
that cases of mems boots are sold con-
stanty at less than SlS per case. The
whole secret of the matter is that the shee
manufacturers of Massachusetts have al.
most ceased to use leather in the mann.
tacture of shoes for the W estern trade.
For soles species of composition
termed leather-board, hardly distinguish
Ell frcm the genuine article, but actually
composed uf mixture OF powdered
leather and mucillage, pressed into sheets
by a hydraulic press, and veneered with
a thin coating of calf skin, is almost uni
versaly used. or course, as soon as the
veneer wears out the sole goes to pieces
very rapidly, especially in wet weather
This stuff is very largely used and sold
in Cincinnati, and costs only from 0 to
IL C. while good sole leather costs from
40 to SOC The stfiening used in the
manufacture of these boots is nothing
more than pastcboarl and the boot is
consequently rendered shapclcss 10y the
first thorough wetting.
For the 'uppers split caleskn is
used. with the grain surface on the in
side, So as TO deceive customers. This
miserable material, of course. affords the
wearer no protection against water; but
the fraud is SO cleverly effected in the
manufacture that even experienced shoe.
makers are often deceived in purchasing
it. The cost of a pair Of fine calf skin
boots to these shoday manufacturers is
about 81 so, and boots of heavier leath
er only 81 The soles of ladies' fine
shoes are generally made oflhe abomina
ton known as leather board, while the
uppers, instead of being made of good
goat skin or English lasting, are formed
of worthless sheep skin or bad cotton
cloth. The manufacturer cost of pair
of woman's leather shoes is fifty cents,
and pair of cloth shoes only forty-fve
cents.-.Ncw York Buiietm
