The grasshopper plague is again
devastating some portions of Kansas
and Missouri. In Jackson and Clay
counties in the latter State they have
appeared in myriads, devouring every
green thing, even the grass, so that
the stock is dying of starvation. At
CARMEL, Kansas, they were SO num-
erous as to stop railroad trains. The
ravages extend over three tiers of
counties in Western Missouri and
Eastern Kansas, embracing slip of
about $50 miles. In this territory
they have left ruin and desolation in
their march. Business is paralyzed
and panic has taken hold OH the peo-
pie. The only ray of hope is the re-
port thatin some quarters the pests are
dying off rapidly. The accounts of
the ravages of the voracious pests are
pitifui in the extreme. 1t does seem
as if one of the plaques of ancient
Egypt had come again.

THE Dubuque Herald, true to its
Democratic instincts, comes to the
defense of the knavish whisky ring,
assailed by the vigilance Of the gov
eminent officials, and accompanies
it's plea for the dishonest distillers
with a characteristic assault upon
Secretary Bristow, who organized
the raid upon wholesale robbery of
the revenue. The Herald is the
same paper that has been bowling it.
self hoarse against the government
because, as it said, the officials failed
to detect and punish corruption. The
corruption of the whisky ring is too
closely identified with the success of
the Democratic party, so the unscru-
pulous Herald rushes to its defense,
haunting. the people of being SCREEN
if they expect the whisky ring to 60
up the spout on account of the present
raid upon it."

The Muscatine Journal improves
the opportunity afforded by the

agreeable to the Bourbon areforin-

"The prompt detection, conviction
and punishment of this man, recre-
ant Republican official, by Republi-
can administration, is in striking con-
trast with the manner in which the
Democrats treated Doc. Eads, the
last Iowa Democratic School Super
intendent, who stole 100000 OF the
children's school fund. He was per-
mitted to leave the State and went
to Missouri, while A. r. Walling,
another Democrat who helped him
to perpetratc the theft, and who has
not to this day made restitution, was
taken up by the Democrats Of the
18th Ohio District, at the last gener-
al election, and is now member of

The stomach Of the Coaserodtirs
is equal to the reception and retain
ing ofany sort ofpolitical chow-chow,
no matter how filthy Or iacongruous
in its composition, but tits extremely
nice when it comes to naming the
dish. The mess set before it by
Ham, Campbell Irish & Co., in the
call for the Democratic State Convcn-
ton is we'll enough, only it don't
want it labeled Democratic, and so
it takes the liberty in its own col
umns to change the title of the call
to "Opposition State Convention. p
1t can't see by what authority Camp
bell, Parker, and Keatly can join in
calling a "strictly Democratic con-
vention;'' and it has shadowy hope
that when the Convention assemblies
it will rcpudiate the name under
which it is called and adopt some
negative milk-and-water designation.
In this it will probably be mistaken.
Let such a proposition be made and
there will ensuc Char fight" such
rs has not been seen since Davy
Crocket's time. Our neighbor, and
our Liberal and Autobiography
friends may as we'll realize first as
last that the Democracy have got
ready for the second act in the grand
plan of gathering in the Republican
seceders, and that they will not be
easily denied. The men who act
with the Democracy this year, will
be deemed by that party good enough
Bourbons, and counted for the sup
port of the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency of 1876. The Demo-
Gratis in the Convention of the oath
of June will fight more tenaciously
for the retention Of their old party
name than for anything else.

Then and Now.

Last year John Irish, Chairman of
the Democratic State Committee is
sued manifesto, officially declaring
the Democratic party of Iowa dead,
and, with the other Democratic lead
ers, took part in the convention at
Des Moines on the oath OF June,
which proclaimed as one of its pur-
poses the founding of an ''independ-
ent political party" This pretense
served its purpose for the time in
drawing off a number of dissatisfied
Republicans, who consented to JON
the Democrats in forming ne,c
party, which should antagonize both
the old organizations, but who would
not have consented on any account
to the elevation Of the Democratic
party to power.
This year, inspired by the result
of last falls elections, and the hope
that they have sown the seeds of per-
manent division in the Republican
party of this State, Irish and the rest
of the Democratic leaders throw over
board the flimsy pretcnse of an Sin
dependent party," call a Democratic
State Convention under the old party
name, and with an effrontery that is
sublime, call upon their deludcd Re-
publican associates of last year to file
into the Bourbon ranks, under the
leadership of Ham, Irish & Go. They
do not pretend that the Democratic
party has modified its principles or
that it is any the less the party Of re-
action of injustice, of class prejudice,
and the instrument of the men who
sought to destroy the life of the ma
ton. They base their call for aid
from the Liberals and Anti-Monopo-
lists on the sole ground Of opposition
to the Republican party. They in
suit the men who went out from that
party last year, by assuming that they
can be induced, through aroused pre-
judice and partisan feelings, to do
what their principles forbid them to
do, to wit: give their support to the
corrupt and reasonable organization,
the Democratic party. The result
will show that they have reckoned
without their hosts.

JOHN C. BRECKENRIDGE, once

afterward the candidate Of the South
ern wing of the Democratic party for

intellect and rising fame, which he
chose to prostitute and dim by lend

overthrow the government Of his
country-for his conduct not hav-

4 palliation-for which treason he
was expelled from his seat in the U.

arms in the rebel army, died at his

The Sioux City Journal says well
and truly that if the people give prop.
or attention to the selection Of capa-
BILE, clear-headed, honest men, for
members of the Legislature, there
need be no worry about the Senator

the utmost importance that the next
Legislature be composed of first-class
material. Considering the impor-
tant questions it will have to deal
with-the perfection of our railroad
legislation, the temperance question,
woman suffrage, &c, the next Gener-
al Assembly will be most inappro-
pirate arena for the display Of the
arts Of the small demagogue or
schemine politician. Every consid-

The plan suggested by few OF
the Republican papers of the State,
that the candidate for Governor be
nominated with the understanding
that after his election he shall be
transferred to the U. S. Senate to
succeed Senator Wright, in other
words, that the Governorship be made
the stepping stone for some favorite
candidate tor Senator, does not find
much favor with the press and peo-
pie, and may be considered as aban-
doncd. 1t was understood that this
move was intended to be in the in
terest of Gov. Kirkwood, and there
was some anxiety to know whether
he favored All indirection of this kind.
All doubts upon the question have
been set at rest by the following en-
phatic announcement of his purposes,
found in the Iowa City Republican
last week. After referring to the
mention of Mr.. Kirkwood's name in
connection with the nomination for
Governor, the Republican says:
But while feeling highly compli-
mented with the friendly illusions
to his name in this connection by the
Republican press of the State, he
most emphatically disclaims being
an aspirant for the position, THAT of
Governor), and we are authorized to
say that he will not, under any cir
cumstances, accept the nomination
even if rendered him.
This is satisfactory, and places ex-
Gov. Kirkwood IN an unequivocal
position. Meantime we are assured
that the Republicans will nominate a
State ticket made up of the very best
and thorough men i'll the party, and
that the Senatorial question will be
left to take care of itself.

The Dubuque Herald quotes with
approval the following extract from
the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times:
1t has taken us ten years to learn
that the Lord does not always make
a military man and a legislator in one
carcass. So we have begun retiring
the soldier politicians. Each Con-
gress sees less of them. Big and lit
tie generals fade from our view to-
gether. Schurz and Hawley disap-
pear with Butler and Negley, and
the alphabetical Shanks. Those that
remain are doomed, and Logan and
Oglesby do but back against the in
evitable if they pull wires for re-
election. II is not disloyal, but COM
mon sense. The north finds the SOL
der element poor material out of
which to make law givers, and it con-
siders the mere complimentary debt
pretty we'll paid by TINS time.
The Times correspondent does not
state the situation with exact truth
and candor. While it is true that
the Democratic party whenever they
find it possible is retiring loyal
Union soldiers from Congress, it
is also true that it is supplying
their places with rebel officers and
soldiers; witness the array of con
federatc Generals, Colonies &c.
elected by that partyto the next Con
gress. 1t is not true that every re
curing Congress sees less of the sol
der element. The Democracy have
no special antipathy to soldier legis
lators, but they are very particular
about the color of the uniform they
wore. Their decided preference is
for the gray.
