Than the downfall o. the War Sec
retarv. our Iowa Genl. Belknap, OF
which the news was flashed over the
country la.e last week, nothing could
have been more unexpected or more
sad. He is q man OF most excellent
antecedents, and against whose char
acter for Integrity not whisper had
ever been heard. More than this, he
had administered the important du-
ties Of his high Office with signal
success and in such way as TO i'm
press all with his high aims and great
ability. And night in the midst
of all this he is found guilty of. the
most despicable though comparative
ly petty malfeasance--selling the ap-
pointmens OF Suffer Or post trader on
the frontier for few paltry thous-
ands. 1t is a subject only for sadness
and shame to any honest minded
citizen, and those who see nothing
in it except possible opportunity to
make political capital are human
hyenas. Indeed, 50 far as thi. is
concerned, it shoall be remembered
that up to the time OF his appoint
ment Belknap was never known as
Republican, being at that very time
Chairman of the Democratic Central
Committee of Lee county.
But an exchange well saws that
neither the politics he may have
held, nor the end to which he
has arrived proves anything
either against the Republican or the
Democratic party. 1t only shows the
frailty Of human nature, and especial
ly the dangerous temptations which
environ those who try to make dis
play and thus live beyond their
means. 1t is the treatment which
such men receive when discovered
that their party is responsible for,
and if the Republican party shall now
be found trying in any way to screen
or protect this offender, then and then
only will it deserve condemnation.

4 view Of the Bridge question
from spriEgdaIc Township.

AS the subject Of bridging Cedar river
is being agitated and the necessity of
one or more bridges, seems TO be obtain
ing over the country, and fearing that
local enterprise might 50 warp the bet.
ter judgment Of the voters that they
might fail to secure its best interest,
| therefore take the liberty to present
the ques ton from my own standpoint.
| would first call the attention Of the
North and East side to the fact, that we
of the West side are possibly placed in
false positi on on account of Cur vote
against the bridge two years ago. We
upon the west side had been given to
understand that the East, would, as a
measure of justice, favor the building OF
| one bridge across the Cedar We I'm
| derstood that the majority Of those on
the East, had no personal interest in the
bridge other than the welfare Of the
county at large-and these facts were
by us duly appreciated.
! Bat, to explain the cause Of that neg
alive vote, 1t is only necessary to say,
that we viewed the question from this
| point, that we were the parties most di.
rectly interested, aud 50 long as we
were willing to submit to this incouven-
fence others might not find fault.
in, nF in ~ y
this 81 de had incurred heavy indebted
ness in building school houses, &c.
Ny own taxes tor the last eight years
having averaged about three per cent;
and for my own part | chose to suffer
the inconvenience OF having no bridge,
rather than to cumber myself with ad,
ditlonal taxes
Again it should be borne In mind that
perhaps nine-tenths Of the tax payers on
this side cross the river or visit Upton
for municipal purposes alone, and once
year sufices for that, and by selecting
proper time. these nine-tenths need
suffer DO great Inconvenience So much
for the result OF that vote, and I hope
this explanation will enable our friends
on the other side to understand the
situation.

bridges, | would suggest that building
one bridge across the Cedar at time is

structure and paid for the same; our ar.

and we shall at least have gained some
practical experience that viii aid US in
building the second, and submit 10 the
intelligent voters Of Cedar county that

it will do Cedar county the most good.

The learned gentleman and very
able statesmen who COMPOSE the
Democratic majority in the Ho Use Of
Representatives Washington would
have the people believe that the cur
rency question is one Of such profun-
dity that it must be approached with
extreme caution, and oaly at all, after
much preliminary consideration. This
is, doubtless, very pretty buncombe.
But there is one branch, at least, Of
the question thus lodged that might
be supposed to b. within thu safe ana
easy grasp Of even the average Dem
ocra,ic Congressional mind. That
single point may be stated in brief
proposition - The currency dollar
should be exchangeable as dollar in
every part of the United States.
That is simple enough. Every one
can comprehend it. No one can de-
ny its correctness. Will any one af-
firm that it is to-day realized as true
in practice anywhere in the Union
Suppose the currency dollar of the
United States Government, with all
its sanctions of authentic green and
carmine, in printing and Of genuine
chirography in signatures, be carried
by the patriotic lowan to California
how then: How much is his green.
back dollar worth three? VIII It's
exchangeable value there equal that
of the circulating medium in gene raj
use among the citizens Of Sacramento
or San Francisco: viii that dollar,
carried from Iowa purchase as much
food, clothing, lodging, or merchan-
disc, as dollar taken from the mint
over which floats the glorious emblem
Of our equal liberty and equal rights,
II not, why not: Each dollar is issued
by the United States government.
Each bears the authenticated stamp
Of governmental authority. Each
represents the "faith" Of this great
Republic. Why is the dollar from
Iowa worth only So to s. cents, and
that in California use worth Just one
hundred cents: Can any one tell
These queries state the whole case
The want Of to-day, On he part o.
the entire American people, whether
they recognize the fact Or NOT, is for
an honest dollar-for dollar in fact.
in the place of a promise to pay which
purports to be dollar and is not.
1t does seem that even Sam

osition. DIR. Gazettc.
