The Dubuque county Republican
convention was held on Wednesday,
to elect delegates to the Republican
Congressional convention at Nc
Gregor. The result was Graves
triumph, the following list of dele
gates, with three or four exceptions,
being favorable to the aspirations of
that gentleman:
d. N. Cooley, J. A. Rhomberg,
Henry Wheeler, NJ. Kingman, J. B.
Howard, NJ. Blumenauer, E. A. Gull
bert, J. II. Thompson, S. A. Deutch-
err, l.. G. Hurd, Frank Coates, E. w.
Duncan, II. G. Darrah,J j.. S. Hancock,
VIM. Trick, j. p. Burt, A. B. Lewis,
R. Armstrong, M. A. Simpson, J. G.
Rosser, T. p. Rood.
To clinch this result, the conven-
ton passed resolution instructing
the delegates to vote as unit for a
Dubuque man, after the first or in
formal ballot. This, of course, chains
the three or four Wilson delegates, if
so many there should be, to the car
of the conqueror Graves. Judge
Wilson is thus practically out of the
Congressional race, and his indefa-
tigable personal efforts to work up
strength outside of his own county,
all 60 for nothing.
The Clayton county convention
was held last Saturday, and the fol-
lowing strong delegation to the Con-
gressional convention was chosen:
Philip Fishil, Gilbert Cooley, r.
Meuth, o. w. Crary, A. Macarthur,
James Schuyler, II. A. Hollister, j.
S. King, L. o. Hatch, J. L. Hagen
sick, f. Kaukin, Hon. X. B. Flenni-
ken, Thos. c. Peterson, w. E. Tai
madge, E. II. Williams, II. E. Price,
J. f. Thompson, and J. F. Patrick.
It's understood that the delegation
will support John. CARRIER as first
choice, after which it will be almost,
if not quite, unanimous for Larrabee.

If anything is wanting to prove
Mr.. Tildcn's lack of sympathy with
the cause of this country at the out
break of the civil war, when men of
all parties were uniting in one grand
burst of patriotism, consequent upon
the rebel attrck upon Fort Sumpter,
it is found in the following letter
from Gen. Dix:
SEAFILLD, FORT HAMPTON,
New York, July, 1876.
DEAR SIR:-Yours is received and l
hasten to reply to it. Mr.. Tilden did not
unite in the call for the great Union meet
ing in New York after the attack and sur
render of Fort Sumpter. But he refused
to attend it though urgently solicited to
by one of his own political friends. The
meeting was called for the purpose OF sus-
tanning the Government, and TO provide
for sending troops to Washington, which
was thought to be in danger of an attack
by the Confedcrates, This fact was pub
licly stated when Mr. Tildcn was candi-
date for Governor in 1874. ] am, dear
Sir, truly yours. JOHN A. DIX.

Tilden q Periurer.

THIS is a serious charge to bring
against candidate for the highest
Office in the gift of the people, and
nothing but proof indubitable and
conclusive would Justify the making
of it even in canvass SO hot as the
present one. When the original
charge was made by the New York
Times over week since, we fully
resolved not to allude to it in any
way, until Mr.. Tildcn or his friends
should have the opportunity to make
denial of the authenticity of the
proofs adduced in support of the
damaging accusation, or to explain
the matter in a way that should JUST
fly his integrity. One week has elaps-
ed and no such denial has been forth.
coming, and no explanation adequate
or satisfactory has been produced
We are therefore compelled to accept
the charge as true. Indeed, the gen.
ulneness of the record admitted, the
case proves itself, for it shows Mr.
Tilden to have sworn to two state
ments which mutually contradict and
antagonize each other, and under
circumstances which leave no oppor-
tunity for him to escape the judgment
which would be passed upon an or.
binary offender.
The case is clear and simple. I'm
der the income law every man was
required to make return under oath
of his income. Mr.. Tilden made re-
turn for the years 1862 and 1868, but
for the years that followed concluded
that he could get off cheaper by not
making the return himself. The re-
turn which Mr.. Tilden made Dec,
Goth, 1868, for the year 1862, was
sworn to by him and after the detail
ed statement of his income, conclud.
ed as follows:
Thereby certify that the following is
true and faithful statement of the gains,
profits, or income of Samuel j. Tilden, of
the City of New York and County of
New York, State of New York, whether
derived from any kind of property, rents,
interest, dividends, salary, or from any
profession, trade, employment, or voca'
ton, or from any other source whatever,
from list day OF January to 31st day of
December, 1862, both days inclusive, and
subject to an income tax under the Excise
laws of the United States. Income from
all sources, $7,11S."

Friday last. about noon, young man
stepped into the Office Of the Occidental, hand
edfhfr.l Roise, zone of, the proprietors twoglst1
tiers, requesting that they be mailed at the
proper time. He then called for cool pleasant
room saying he wished TO lie down and take a
sleep, as he was not feeling very well. The
clerk showed him up to room on the third
floor, No. AZ, and returned TO the office, which
he had scarcely reached when he was In
formed by one of the chambermaids that
some one had shot off a pistol IN or near
room No "a, The clerk INN ediatciy returned
to-that room, md arrived just in time TO
wrest pistol from the young mans hand
while in the act of shooting himself second
time. The unfortunate young mans name is
Robert Armsby, native of Monmouth, Hi
noIs, where the most of his relatives are now
living. He came to this place about two
months since in company with an JUNGLE who
purchased quite a large farm, over two hum
bred acres, furnished II with the necessary
farm implements, teams, ETC., and gave it in
charge OF the young man; also letters OF credit
in one of the banks OF the city with promise
pended his funds judiciously that he would
be furnished larger amounts and he might
buy land and open out thousand-acre farm,
If he so desired. But he had formed habits
of dissipation which he, seemi ngly, could not
shake of, and, after spending a considerable
Of his time in the city in riotous living, he
seemed to grow despondept and sought TO
put an end to his existence. The pistol used
was Smith & Wesson. The ball entered his
body about one and one-half inches above
the left nipple, passed through the upper part
OF the left lung, striking the lower part of the
left shoulder blade and lodged in the bed
clothes. The whole affair seems TO have
been deliberately planned, as he had taken
off his coat and boots and laid himself down
on the bed and then did the deed. DR.. Fur
ley was called, dressed the wound and the
probabilities are that he will recover.

that was selling the Remington. lie had as
little confidence IN his machine as the first
one l met, and he attempted to sell it as the
improved Howe, and have been creditably
informed that the Remington agents are sell
ing their machines here as the improved
Singer, which is false. There is no improved
Singer except the original one, which cannot
be sold in the Southwest except by or
through me. Those who wish to buy the
Remington are welcome to, but | deem it my
duty to inform the good people of the South
west, through the columns of your paper, so
they will not be imposed upon in buying ma

its own reputation should not be sold on the
merits of machine that has been long tried

deepest dye. w. MASON,

crowded with wagon loads and buyers Of
wheat. Wichita is the market town of very

immigration heavy. the town is enjoying, and
promises to enjoy for many years in the fu-
