The Reward of Treason.

The following article from the
Vinton Journal, very accurately re-
fleets our sentiments with regard to
the action of the Republican State
Convention in the matter referred to.
1t was our opinion at the time, and is
yet, that the Convention committed
a great blunder in the nomination of
Hepburn for Elector. If his notori-
Gus and unprincipled detection from
the party for the past three years
was not enough, the speech he made
before the Convention, charactized
as it was by bad taste, effrontery,
and obscenity, should have forbidden
his nomination for the responsible
position in which he appears on
the ticket. He was declared the
nominee amid the hurrah of a viUa
yoce vote, and would not probably
have been successful in a call of the
counties. The Journal article is as
follows:
Among other notable incidents of the
late Republican State Convention was the
return of Ex-Goy. Stone and one w. P.
Hepburn, to the political fold they deserted
in 1872 The Ex-Governor was very
properly received, his speech being list
ened to in silence, and when he conclud-
ed, some one called for the song "Ninety
and Nine" But when the other scala
wag traitor to his party came forward,
and said his piece, in which there was no
word of penitence, but an egotism that
was sublime, he was rewarded with
what? The honorable post of Presiden-
tial Elector-at-Large Thus do the men
assuming to represent the Republican
party of Iowa repay treachcry, ingratitude
and party scoundrelism. Think of it
Here is man, who four years ago sece-
ded from the party, and in three cam
paigns did all he could to defeat it. He
comes back, and asks to be taken into the
household again. He is not only receiv-
ed, but elevated to the highest place the
Convention has to bestow. If, in our late
war, Gen. Lee had deserted the Confedcr-
ate army, do you suppose Mr.. Lincoln
would haye at once made him next in
command to Grant? Yet that is just
what the Convention at Des Moines did
in making an apostle out of that political
Judas, W. H. Hepburn.

The Dubuque Times, which has it.
self been very fair and courteous to-
ward the several candidates for the
Cincinnati nomination, severely criti-
cises the Chicago Tribune for it's I'M
reasonable and unfair treatment of
Mr.. Blaine. If the Times is really
animated by disinterested love of
justice and fair play in It's structures
upon the Tribune, it will not fail to
notice and fifty characterize the alto
gethcr indecent and INSCRIPTIONS
warfare waged upon Mr.. Bristow by
another Chicago paper, the Inter-
Ocean. The Tribune may have been
unjust to Mr.. Blaine, but it has had
enough regard for the intelligence of
its readers to invest it's illusions to
him and his record with an assump-
ton of candor and sincerity, and to
refrain from vindictive abuse. On
the other hand, almost every editorial
mention of Mr.. Bristow by the Inter-
Ocean since the active campaign be-
gan, has been coarse and brutal in
the last degree, and totally devoid Of
candor or truthfulness. Its treatment
of Mr.. Bristow is certainly unwar-
ranted by anything in his character
or record; it is inspired by no worthy
motive, and only characteristic Of a
class of papers like the New York
Sun and Chicago Times, that are
professional braves and assassins of
regulations. We are bound to be-
lieve, by its own course in this cam
paign, that the Dubuque Times de-
splses and abhors this style of jour
nalism, and we only regret that 1T is
not little more impartial in its de-
nunciation of it.

There is an interesting and char
acteristic anecdote of Secretary
Chandler that has never been pub
lished, and is of special interest now
as showing why some OF our public
men are so terribly bothered by Gin
designations" while others are meyer
disturbed.
Some five OF six years ago Con-
gress chartered q street railroad in
this city, to run from the Treasury
department out through "north end"
to the Bladensburg pike. No sub
side was granted or asked-Congress
merely named the corporation, and
granted the charter. In due time a
company was organized to build the
road, and a duly authorized officer
called, among others, upon Senator
Chandler, and asked him to take a
few shares of stock to help start the
enterprise, and he received, In sub
stance, the following respectful and
explicit reply:
II make it the invariable rule of
my life" said the Michigan Senator,
"not to take stock OF other pecuniary
interest in any company chartered or
otherwise assisted by Congress while
| am in the Senate. Thise enterprise
of yours is a good one. A road is
needed through that portion of the
city you propose to go, and, if well
managed will pay good percentage
on the investment. do not say
there is any improperly in Senators
taking stock in it. have made the
rule mentioned for myself only, and
the more 1 think upon the subject
the more I am disposed to adhear to
it."
The road was, however, built, and
proved to be very profitable, precise
ly as Senator Chandler predicted
He might have made thousands
of dollars by taking few shares
All the more honor to him, therefore
for his very proper and inflexible
rule. IF all other public men were
equally scrupulous, Congress would
be saved world of troublesome Gin
vestigations.

THE Burlington Gazette one of
the leading Democratic organs in
Iowa, is disguised with Tilden's ad-
vertising dodge. 1t says:
"The idea of u reform candidate
for the Presidency, having to make
use of the advertising agency to get
his virtues and availability spread
before the public in newspapers, as a
merchant advertises his wares, looks
as if such candidate had more am
bition than qualifications for the
place."

him one of the most discreet and

The great eastern trunk lines of
railroad are waging bitter warfare
with each other, and the result is a
considerable reduction in passenger
rates and freights. The following
passenger tariff was announced to 90
into effect on the 18th:
From Chicago to Boston via New York,
SIG; via Albany, SIS; to Philadelphia,
$1s.40; to Baltimore, $12; Washington,
$12; Buffalo, $11; Cleveland, 50.
The several companies slmultan-
eously reduced the rates on frst-class
freight from New York to IS cents
per 100 pounds to Chicago, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, and Buffalo, and proper
tionate reduction to all western
points. The probability is that the
war will be long and bitter.

The Carson (Nev.) Tribune tells
the following: ga lady was out
trading at one of our dry goods
stores the other day when she ran
short of money and asked the clerk
to put the balance on the books
He cheerfully agreed, and said he
would send the bill to her husband.
You'd better send it to me- she said
as he figured up the cost. Tve got
a peculiar husband. If that bill
reads sll for sugar, coffee, and tea,
he'll give me the money without a
word. If it reads for balance on dry
goods, he'll see you in Jericho before
he pays it. Make it out for gro
ceries.'"
