T. B. Perry, district elector on the

T. B. Perry, district elector on the
Democratic ticket, made a speech in
this city, last Thursday evening, and
threw out insults to the Iowa Sd and
22d. He said Gov. VIM. NJ. Stone
managed to get his commands in a
few skirmishes, thus insinuating that
troops he had under his command
were kind of worthless. We were
not member of the Sd Iowa, but
know by report they were as true as
steel, on the field of battle, and done
noble service, second to no other reg
ment, either from Iowa, or any other
State, but we do know something
about the Iowa 22d, the Regiment
Gov. Stone commanded last, and for
the information of the fre-in-the-rear
speech-making-Perry, will say that
Regiment, under their gallant leader
Col. Stone, won golden opinions from
his superior officers, on many hard
fought battle field. They were in the
fights at Fort Gibson, Champion
Hills, Black River Bridge, Jackson,
Miss, the charge on Vicksburg, May
22d, the scige of Vicksburg, which
lasted 47 days, and at the surrender,
July 4th, 1868, at Black River Bridge,
and Jackson again, and at the cap
ture of the latter, took a hand in sew
eral skirmishes in Louisiana and Tex
as, lay in the trenches for six days in
the rear of Petersburg, Virginia, un-
der Gen. Butler and exchanged shot
for shot with the rebols, went to the
Shenandoah Valley, and took part
in Gen. Shcridan's famous campaign
and fights at Winchester, Fishers
Hill, and Cedar Creek, (the latter
where Sheridan made his famous ride),
and many skirmishes, and when we
cleared your boys out that were un-
der Jubal Early, we went to North
Carolina and Georgia and killed off a
few Democratic voters, and remained
until peace was declared.
Yes Mr.. Perry, you cannot throw
slurs with contempt at these boys.
You ought to be ashamed of your
self, for you know Go. "D." from
your own town was in that regiment
and had ut least twenty men killed
and over thirty wounded, and as good
men as Monroe county ever sent to
battle for the stars and stripes. You
ought to know that the history of
the iowa Boys in Blue is known,
and when you insult one regiment
you insult all.

Mr.. Riddle, Democratic Congressman
from Tennessee, proposed to fill the
pockets of his rebel friends by passing
the following bill, introduced by him dur
ing the session of Congress:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America IN Congress assembled that the
Secretary of War be, and he is hereby auth
OrZed TO allow reasonable compensation to
all citizens of the United States for the
use and occupation of their property by
the United States army, or any part there
of during the late Civil War, in the same
manner and under the same regulations
as compensation is now allowed for quar-
termaster stores used by said army; pro-
vided, however, that the GtfddCt Of tie
claimant, supported by the competent tes-
timony of any reputable citizen shall be
sufficient proof to establish the fact of
the use and occupation of such property
by said army. But it is not the intention
of this act to limit the parties to the
amount of proof herein specified; but 9th
er and additional testimony may be taken
to establish the fact of the use and occu-
patton and the rental value of the proper
ty occupied
By this it will be seen that any John,
ny reb may receive pay for the occupa-
ton of his old field as camping ground,
and use of his Old trees for wood, the
time of his slaves for labor done for the
army, or the thousand and one other items
a needy rebels brain would cunjure up.
And the owners of Andersonville
prison hell, can claim rent for the oc-
cupancy of that terrible place, by
the Union soldiers confined there
That is a sample of Democratic legisla-
ton for the benefit of the country. Just
think where that would take them, and
the millions that would be necessary to
pay such claims.

One cause of hard times just now, is
the fears of the people for the result of
the election. Ii Tilden is elected, we
will have financial crash and smashup
such as the country never saw, for all will
regard the election as virtual reputation
but if Hayes is elected, and settled
financial policy thus insured, and no rebel
claims to be paid, prosperity will at once
follow, and confidence will be perfectly
restored.

MORE MURDERS.

Louisiana furnishes two more brutal
murders of colored men, done for their po-
litical opinions sake. AS Primus John,
son was playing with his babe, and Eaton
Longwood was loading cotton at the
formers residence, eight miles from Mon
roe, about seven o'clock p. m., October
10th, two disguised white men rode up
and shot them down killing johnson in
stantly, he falling to the ground with the
babe in his arms. Longwood was NOR
tally wounded. johnson was a colored
preacher, had little means, small farm,
and built small school-house on his farm
for colored people; that was burned some
days since, and the old man being Re-
publican of influence was killed. 1t was
nearly day before physician could be
found who would attend Longwood, so
great was the dread of the white-liners,
and not an officer would 90 down from
Monroe, until furnished an escort of U.
S. troops. And yet we are told that the
South is peaceful to-day. Is it not about
time martial law was proclaimed through
out that -forsaken, barbarous region?

Gov. Seymour of New York said Il
few days ago, that the Republican
administration paid too high interest.
This is the brassiest charge we have
yet heard from prominent and intel
ligent Democrat. Why bless his old
rebel soul, does he not know that the
last Democratic administration, that
of James Buchanan, could not bor-
row money for less than t,oelue per
cent, and that only after discounting
its bonds tsoelve per cent more; and
this was in a time of peace, when the
nation had but a small debt-before
Il Democratic rebellion had saddled
two thousand millions of debt upon
US, while the Republican administra-
tions never paid but y per cent. and
borrowed nearly all the vast sums to
protect the government from demo
cratic rebels, at 6 per cent, and is
now funding even that low rate at 444
per cent. In view of these facts old
Horatio says we pay too high interest.
Poor old soul, he is in his dotage.

Democrats make big blow about
Tilden prosecuting the Caral ring, a
corrupt, Democratic ring in New
York. The facts are a Republican
prosecuting attorney had bills found
against several members of this ring,
before Tlden ,oas inaugmated. On
these indictments, under Tilden
three suits only were brought; taco
only We're tried, one found guilty, and
he has not been sentenced, and this
is all, and cost the State over Sl0O,-
900. Yet a vigorous prosecution OF
the work as laid out by the Republi-
can prosecutor would have landed a
dozen or more in Sing Sing, but
there they could not vote the Demo
cratic ticket, hence they were not
tried.

Tilden aoouldn't sign the call for the
Union meeting in New York City at
the outbreak of the war, but he did
sign the call for a meeting of rebel
sympathizers to meet at Delmonico's,
Feb. 9, 1868, to form society to
print Copperhead speeches and rebel
documents generally, such as Hcnder,
shott's editorials, for the purpose OF
discouraging the Union people in
their defence of the Union. e#

VERY APPROPRIATE.

Last Thursday evening, the Tilden club
of this city made its first appearance on
the streets, and to the surprise of some
and the disgust of all, the Company had
adopted the for their uniform, buttermut
pants. Just think of it Soldiers; you who
followed Rutherford B. Hayes and sim
liar leaders in Blue, think of a Company
of Tilden guards parading the streets of
a northern city with Confederate uniform,
in part. But then it is very appropriate
Tilden was a Copperhead Secessionist,
Hendricks was draft-opposing, peace-at-
any-price-rebel, and it is appropriate that
their guards should wear the uniform of
their late rebel friends.

The last Democratic administration

The last Democratic administration
turned over the government to the Re.
publicans, with war on its hands, with a
national debt of one hundred millions
contracted in time of peace, and with the
national credit SO poor that the Demo-
cratic government was borrowing money
at taoelUe per cent interest. Look at the
difference. Right in the midst of ter
rible war that cost thousands of millions
of dollars, a Republican administration
borrowed money at per cent. interest,
and now is funding its bonds at Al per
cent. This shows the difference in the
two parties.

DIR. BEARDSLEY AT OSKALOOSA. I

Hawk-Eye.
Hon. Charles Beardsley addressed the
Republicans of Oskaloosa last Saturday
evening. Before his removal to Burling-
ton, many years ago, to take charge of the
HDUk-Eye as successor, with G. w. Ed.
wards, to the former proprietor, Mr.. Clark
Dunham, he was a resident Of Oskaloosa,
and the ties and kindly associations then
formed have never been broken. When,
therefore, it was announced that DR..
Beardsley was to speak in Oskaloosa, his
old neighbOrs turned ont en- naasse, and
gave him Il reception that proved gen.
uine ovation. Notwithstanding the threat
ening weather and bad condition of the
streets on account of the recent rains, the
hall was crowded to overhOwing, includ-
ing fair representation of ladies. Two
companies Of Hayes and Wheeler guards
and one of "Boys in Blue with music and
torches were ou' in uniform making very
fine appearance. In the hall the people
were enthusiastic. greeting DIR. Boards
ley's remarks with frequent applause
and at their close rising and giving
him three hearty cheers. The Guards
and Boys in Blue accompanied by
a number of citizens escorted him to the
depot, and, drawn up in order on the plat
form, illuminated the train with their
torches and made the air ring as it moved
away. DR.. Beardsley speaks in glowing
terms of the meeting, and we should say
regards the whole occasion as most graft
flying and never to be forgotten by him.
The Oskaloosa Republicans under the gal
liant leadership of Henry Leighton, John
Hoffman, and other young men of great
worth and energy, counseled and sustain
ed by score or two of able and true men
like Judge Loughridge, Attorney General
Cults, Messrs. Hale, Searle, Lofand, aud
others, are among the best organized in
the State, and always ready for every
good work. May their shadows never
grow less, and may their tribe increase,
and may their example in this campaign
be emulated by the Republicans of Iowa
everywhere.

There are greenbackers in this
county who have declared for
Tilden, and yet they claim to be hon
est in their convictions and earnest
in their views. Look at the absurdi-
ty of the thing. Tilden is, and was
one of the hardest of hard money
men until he wrote his letter of ac-
ceptance, which was to catch India
ma and Ohio. At the St. Louis con-
vention, Ewing and other softs want
ed soft money plank, but Dorshie-
mier, who was fnglIng for Tilden,
declared that Tilden would not stand
that, and would make no con-
cessions, and in IL speech to the con-
vention, speaking for Tilden he said
'Ipropose here to make straight issue bettceen
SOFT AND HARD MONEY. BY that tCe (TILDES's
iriends) stand or tUe fdH. If you want soft mon
en-, give your votes to the resolutions offered nv
the most distinguished advocate of soft money
in the United States (Gen. EWING.) But if you
want to leave to hard money men some chance to
Cdli9 tHSlL CtdIeS, tHcll SIlltl Dy support Ol
the Committed"
These are the words and views of
the spokesmen of Tilden in the st.
Louis Convention. Can green
hacker have anything in common
with these views? They are worse
tnan Republicans, on your pet idea,
and yet the leaders and nearly all
the rank and file of the greenback
movement are voting and working
for Tilden, direct, while the others
are an fact by voting for Peter Coop
er. J. A. Wilson, the Newton green
back mOgul raised the TiIdcn flag at
the Democratic demonstration after
the Indiana election and so all the
old Democrats will do, and leave
few Republican dupes to hold the
bag.

Horace Greeley the late Demo

Horace Greeley the late Democrat
ie candidate for tho Presidency, said
that Tilden the present candidate,
was responsible for the gigantic cleo
ton frauds that elected Hoffman
Governor of New York, and gave
that States electoral vote to Sey-
mour. Greeley charged this upon
him in an open letter, and like his
income swindle he never dared deny
it, for Greeley printed the proof in
that open letter. Sam wants to be
President.

The Southern press is attempting to
prove that all the claims presented to the
Government from that section are made by
men who were loyal to the Union during
war. If that is so, how does it happen
that so many claims have been thrown
out because the archives of the Southern
confederacy revealed the disloyalty of the
claimants? This has happened to the
great mass of those already examined and
would doubtless happen to many now
pending if the Democratic Congress had
not been so economical as to cut off the
appropriation for examining the archives.

In 1864, when Gen. R. B. Hayes,
bleeding from a severe wound, was still
leading his brigade against the defiant
rebels, and his men were falling around
him on every side, stricken by rebel bull
lets, Samuel J. Tilden was at Chicago re-
solving that the war was four years of
failure, and favorihg peace at any price.
These two men are candidates for Presi-
dent. Soldiers can have but one choice.

There is one thing our Republican
friends should not lose sight of, and
that is that every vote thrown away
on greenback congressional candi-
date is just that much help to Hender-
shott, and that should enough be
thrown away to elect him it would be
a dire calamity. 1t is not only
choice between Sampson the patriot
soldier, and Hendershott the Copper
head doughface !; not only matter of
district and State pride, but it is some
thing of vital national interest. What
few greenback votes there are cast
may defeat Sampson and elect Hen
dershott. The next House is going
to be close. Our party is fighting
hard, and thus far very successfully
to get control of it. One cote may de-
eide who has the majority; one vote
may give us the organization of the
House, when the Johnny rebs will
have TO step out and the Union SOL
diers will supply their places as of
yore. This is not far-fetched pic
ture. We believe that the Republi-
cans will gain control of the House
at the coming election-the best po-
litical authorities agree in that, but
none Of them put our majority at
more than seven, and many only two
or three, so you see we need every
vote possible. There is a double
reason for Republicans wanting the
next Congress. If Hayes is elected,
we want him to have both houses, to
support his administration. If Tilden
is elected we want both houses so we
can tie his hands. So we hope not
a single man will throw away a vote.
