A casual reader would suppose,
from the reading of the report of the
Rhombcrg case, as given in the State
Register, that Revenue Agents Simp-
son and Miller were entitled to near
ly the whole credit of working up
the case. We happen to know, per-
sonally, that such is not the fact. Gen.
Hedrick and Capt. Brown have been
the main instruments in bringing
Rhomberg to justice, and Miller and
Simpson had scarcely anything to do
with it. Mcssrs. Simpson and Miller
arc efficient and worthy officers, ably
discharging all duties entrusted to
them, but in this case they are receiv-
ing all the credit, according to the
Registers account, when such credit is
not due. Capt. Brown has labored I'M
ceasingly and effectively on the
case, and General Hcdrick has had
entire charge of it from the
beginning until he resigned in April
last, and through his persevering eff
forts together with Capt. Browns
untiring research for testimony the
government is indebted for this SUBJ
stantial victory over a man who has
defrauded the government out Of
hundreds of thousands Of dollars.
Gen. III. is now East and is not aware
of the result of the case, but never
thcless, he should not be deprived of
the credit of faithfulness in the dis
charge of his duty as a revenue off,

L. Tilton spoke to us, and If they did
not make It hot for II democrats, who
had the courage to come out, Bob In

warm for them that ID out of the II
took Q violent attack of the Dutch

then they have been cursing Stiles

at large, more than at any other time.

to what has been published by "P. L.

thing they have said, and more, for
they have not told half the low, mean
undetermined games that are being
practiced in this part Of the county
by democrats, to defeat Sampson and
Cooley. Obi what a true saying

the bowels i'll general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accompan-
led with dull, heavy sensation in the

led with a painful sensation of having
left undonc something which ought to

is sometimes an attendant. The pa

he distrusts every remedy. Several of

WE appeal to the good citizens Of
Ottumwa to see that we have an hon.
est and peaceful election. The fact
is, that if the respectable people
would turn out and stay and work
at the polls, they would find that the
democratic rabble, which throngs
the polls and disgusts the civil peace
full citizen, would not so misbehaye
themselves. The better class of citi-
zens leave the polls SO much at the
mercy of the rowdies that frauds are
perpetrated, and quiet, orderly peo-
pie are disguised.
Republicans, leave your business
for the day, and let MS have an atmos-
pherc of decency about the polls. II
will tell loudly for true reform if the
good citizens of the city would only
turn out and attend to election as
they would attend to their religious
social and business duties. There is
every reason why they should do this
very thing.
