ACHANGE OF FORM.

Our readers will be surprised to re-
ceive the HERALD this week in quarto
form instead of folio as heretofore. We
were forced to this measure, not because
we'like the form BETTER but because the
interests of both advertisers and readers
are better served thereby. 1t gives US
more space for reading matter, and places
the advertisements nearer column of
reading which is a mutual benefit. You
will find interesting reading matter on
each page, and advertisements of our
home merchants, professionals and man
ufacturers, than whom there are are none
better Hoping that you will in time like
the new form as we'll as you did the old,
and that it may be as familiar to you, we
remain yours truly, as of yore, and with
our increased space, shall make the paper
better than ever, for the hard work is not
to find something to fill up with, as many
enormously suppose, but to find room for
what should really 60 in our columns.

FOR SUPREME JUDGE.

OF course everybody knows that Ma
haska county will present the name Of
Hon. WIN. III. SEWERS to the Republican
State Convention, for nomination for the
Office he now holds by Gov. Kirkwood's S
appointment We have not the slightest
idea that there will be any opposition, for
the Judges fine legal abilities, bis pecu-
liar fitness for judge, and his well-known
popularity had long ago marked him as a
candidate for the place before the resig-
nation of Judge Cole made an appoint
ment necessary, and the Governor simply
did what the people would have done had
they had the chance, and which they will
ratify, we doubt not by acclamation. For
thirty-fve years a resident of Iowa, and
for quarter of century one of its lead
ing lawyers, his fitness is acknowledged on
every hand.

MORE MURDER.

Heretofore, when a Republican paper
has denounced the murders and assassin
atoms committed by Democrats upon Re-
publicans in the South, the Democratic
press has met the statement with the cry
of bloody shirt" but the most brazen of
them have not the impudence to raise
such a cry regarding the recent muir
der Of Senator Twitchell, and Mr.. King,
of louisiana, for the Democratic papers of
that State have themselves proclaimed
the fact, and one or two Of them even 60
SO far as to say the assassin must be
punished, but any candid man knows he
never will be. because large and lawless
element sympathizes with him. An ex-
change describing the murder says:
1.-The murderer was armed with Winchester
rifle, carrying sixteen shots and also with navy
six-shooter He waited till his victims were ap-
preaching the banks of the river in the boat
with which they were crossing, when without
warning he began his fire upon them. He had
killed Ming ana WOunQeu senator IWltcneU IN
the arm, when the latter jumped overheard,
clinging with his uninjured hand to the side of
the boat The brave assassin then began firing
at the exposed arm, and finally shattered it.,
when his victim, half sinking, fioated down the
stream. Then the negro ferryman, who made
an attempt to rescue the helpless body from the
water, was fired upon and wounded. Having
thus accomplished his work, this noble repre-
sentative of Southern chivalry rode quietly out
through the village unquestioned and unmOlest-
ed"
And yet we are told that all is peacea-
BILE in that God-forsaken country, and
that they are bound to carry the South
for Democracy if every Republicans life
is sacrificed to do it. A Republican ticket
will'have no more chance for fair play, in
those States, than an unarmed white man
would have in the Indian camp of old
Sitting Bull.

FREE-LovERs can find but little ia the
fearful fall of Minnie Strickland, to COM
mend their devilish views to civilized

The nomination and election of Judges
Sewers and Rothrock, of the Supreme
Bench, is predicted and endorsed by the
Davenport Gazette. Speaking of their
pretty well assured candidacy it says:
Both are regarded as able and upright officials.
and such as will reflect honor on the Supreme
Bench and credit on the State. Both have,
during the brief period since their appointment,
made only good impressions upon such men,
bers of the Bar, and upon such of the public,
as have come in contact with them, and both
have called forth continuous expressions of sat
and now of desire for their continuance there
in. This too, we are glad to note, alike from
those who were their supporters for the ap-
pointments and those who were the earnest ad-
vocates in behalf of other and opposite candi-
dates. Thus, all controversy as to their nomin-
alton by the convention is happily escaped.

Gov. Wise, Of Virginia, signed John
Browns death warrant, and with it signed
the death warrant of the slave power. He
recently made characteristic argument
before the Committee on Elections, in
which he clearly indicated that he, at
least, is an unrepentant rebel. He says
he would have exchanged Brown for
Greeley, and hung the latter, if he could
have had the opportunity.

A correspondent writing the Register
from First District, says Nose McCoid, in
addition to other qualifications, has the
prestige of never having been defeated.
As he was candidate in this district
against Judge Winslow two years ago, for
District Judge and as Winslow occupies
the seat, we are constrained to believe
that Moses has been defeated.

"While men and newspapers in the different
parts of the State and in the several districts
are designating their choice of men to fill the
different offices in the gift of the people, none
have yet mentioned candidate for Judge
in this (the 9Th judicial district. We know of
no man who is better qualified to be the success
sor of the present incumbent of that Office
Hon. L. c. Blanchard-than that gentleman
himself, nor man who whould better suit the
people of his district than he. He has served
the district honorably and well in that position,
and judging of what will be done by what has
been, it is but natural to conclude that he would
still serve in the capacity with equal honor to
his eminence as an able judge, and a truly good
man. Why not put him right back into the Of
fice?"

CIRCUIT JUDGE!

The Montezuma Republican opens the
ball in this circuit, by announcing the
name of w. R. Lewis of that city, for Cir
cult Judge. 1t says:
AT the coming judicial Convention soon to
be held, Poweshek county will present the
name of W. II. Lewis, of this place, as candi-
date for the nomination of Circuit Judge for
this Judicial District. Mr.. Lewis candidacy is
not of his own making, but is urged and ask ed
by the bar of this county, who recognize in him
man of fine legal ability, an affable gentleman
and a mal. of high moral character. Mr.. Lewis
is man of culture, of unblemished reputation,
a lawyer of more than ordinary ability, and one
that would honor the bench and reflect upon
the profession that credit which is its due, how
ever high the standard may be placed. He has
been practicing attorney at the Montezuma
bar fer ten years, during which time he has
built up an extensive and paying business.
through his industry, and because of his recog-
niZed ability Poweshiek nails good name to
her colors when she places that of w. X. Lewis on
her Judicial Flag, and If she is successful in nom
mating her choice, no tinge of remorse will ever
rebuke her for the deed"

"UNCLE JIMMY NORRIS"
Three weeks ago we published the fol
lowing in the HERALD:

IblCC "SCho dSo VIC puollSlCu llIS Aol-
lowing in the HERALD:
"Uncle Jimmy Norris" as we were wont to
call him years ago, has purchased an interest in
the Ottumwa Demm0crdt and Evans y Norris
will be the firm. Mr.. Norris was for many
years owner of the Ottumwa Courier, and we
are surprised to see him turn his coat, the more
especially as he is running a daily temperance
paper. The new proprietors propose TO erect
a three story brick the coming season, forty
feet front with basement; TO be used in part for
the Democrat office. Glad to note such success.
After two weeks of serious labor "Uncle
Jimmy brought forth the following
mouse in his Ottumwa Democrat and
temperance indicator:
1--WE are read out Of the Republican party by
Leighton g. Needham, of the Oskaloosa Herald;
why we don't know. 1t, however, calls our at
attention to the subject and rather forces us to
enquire where we really are. These young
men. I'VE infer they are young, say they were
orOat to call us "Uncle Jimmy Norris years ago"
Strange that their calling us anything years
ago has entirely escaped our recollection.
When we were working with Beardsley, Rice
and the elder 1--WE think it must have been the
elder Needham, or at least an older man than
this one of the Herald, laying the foundations,
and building up the Republican party we are
quite sure these sprightly youths were not
about If we were to hazard q guess on the
subject, we should say they were "mewi1ng
and puking in the nurses arms at that time.
1t is great mistake. oftentimes, of young and
inexperienced young men, to ape the manners
and mouth the language of older and more ex-
perienced persons. And they tell us one of
these striplings is Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee. If such be the fact;
il the portals of the temple ofthis grand old par
ty have indeed been in such keeping long, it
accounts for the gang of fspeculators and thieves
who seem to have taken possession of it. We
would in alfseriouSness recommend our young
friends in the present condition of their party
to devote all their time and energies to getting
recruits into their party. and defer reading
members out until after election"

large and numerous boils. l also suffered
from terrible Chronic Catarrh, and in fact
was so diseased that life was burden to
me. | had tried many doctors with no ben

one dozen Sage's Catarrh Remedy and
commenced their use. AT first | was bad

ties of the Discovery l began to improve,
and when had taken the remaining l was
toeU. In addition to the use of Discovery
applied a solution Of Iodine to the Goitre

wrapping, and it entirely disappeared. -
Your Discovery is certainly the most Won
derful blood medicine ever invented. l
thank God and you, from the depths of MY
heart, for the great good it has done me.
Very gratefully, Mrs. L. CHAFFEE.
Most medicines wh:cchl are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines contain
either mercury, in some form, or potassium
and iodine variously combined. All of
these agents have strong tendency to break
down the blood corpuscles, and debilitate
and otherwise permanently injure the hu-
man system, and should therefore be dis
carded. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, on the other hand, being composed
Of the fluid extracts of native plants, barks
and roots, will in no case produce injury,
its effects being strengthening and curative
only. Sarsaparills, which used to enjoy
quite reputation as blood purifier, is
remedy of thirty years ago, and may well
give place as it is doing, to the more posi-
tive and valuable vegetable alternatives
which later medical investigation and dis
coverv has brought to light Ia Scrofula or
