prove true.

Ex-MIN1sTER SCHENCK has been
before the House Committee on For
eign Affairs, and told the story of his
connection with the Emma Nine in
so straight forward and apparently
truthful a manner, as to create a
favorable impression for him. He
says that he will be able to prove
that he bought and paid for his shares
in a regular and honest way and with
conviction that they were valu-
able; that he actually lost $4,000
by the transaction, though he says
the failure of the mine was owing to
nismanagement, and he believes it
to be as valuable as first reported, if
properly worked. He utterly and
explicitly denies that he was inter
ested in selling worthless mine to
the English purchasers.

The Presidency.

In very fair and candid review Of
the Presidential outlook as it now APP
pears, the Davenport Gazette says:
"Looking the whole field over, however,
We are still of the opinion that the highest
good of the country, and the most assuring
promise of Republican success. is to be
found in an earnest advocacy of the nOm-
nation of Mr.. Blaine. Let us be candid.
For Mr.. Bristow we can have only high
esteem His nomination would be one
that we could heartily endorse. But we
as yet see no reason to believe that his
candidature now can avail to effect more
than to help the cause of Mr.. Conkling in
the East, and of Mr.. Morton in the West,
by diverting from Mr.. Blaine the support
of those who are sincerely DESTROYS of Sc
curing real reform within the Republican
ranks, the nomination of either Mr.. Conk.
ling or Mr. Morton, VIC could now only
regard as disastrous. Giving each all due
credit for ability, distinguished public SER
vice. and unquestioned fealty to Republi-
can principles, it must be said that neither
represent that which we now want to be
placed in the ascendency in our national
councils"
The above judgment as to Messrs.
Morton and Conkling, will, in our
opinion, coincide with that of large
majority of the best Republicans in
the country. We believe that the
nomination of either Of them, or of
any other man belonging to the class
of which they are representatives,
would prove embarrassing to the par
ty, and if it did not insure Its defeat
would impose upon it a burden which
it should not be obliged to shoulder.
The tone of courtesy and considera-
ton with which the Guzette speaks
Of Mr.. Bristow is in marked and hon
orable contrast TO that of another
prominent Republican journal in our
State, which by industrious efforts to
shield the criminals in the past, and
indecent filings at Republicans Of
pure and unimpeachable record, is
not doing itself or the party any
credit. Mr.. Bristow, as it looks now,
is not likely to receive the vote OF
Iowa in the National Convention, but
the record that he has made of duty
well and efficiently performed, AMI Of
integrity unassailed, entities him to
the respect and confidence of honest
men.

1t will be the duty of the Republi-
can State Convention to nominate a
successor to Captain Christy, the
present State Treasurer. The State
Treasurer is ex-officio member of
the executive council, and as the
Ge..eral Assembly is constantly add
ing to the already responsible duties
of the council it is necessary for the
convention to select man for the
place who has not only honesty but
large business knowledge and expe
riences. We notice the name Of the
Hon. Geo. w. Bemis, of Buchanan
county, mentioned in favorable terms
for this position. Mr.. Bemls has
served his county faithfully in the
State Senate, where his voice aid in
fuence was always on the side of he
best interests of the State and people.
Mr.. Bemis has been the active man
aging trustee Of the new Asylum for
the Insane that is being built at In
dependence. Should the choice OF
the State Convention fall on Mr.. b.,
his friends will not only be highly
satisfied, but the State will recognize
the fact that in Mr.. Bemis it will
have an officer who possesses the
JacksonlAn attributes IN an eminent
egrce.-Burlington Haackye.

A FEW Republican papers are max
ing painful efforts to convince them
selves and their readers that Belknap
will somehow come out of his pres
ent troubles with his innocence es-
tablished and his integrity indicated.
This effort will hardly succeed, for
whatever the result of impeachment,
enough has been developed of Belk-
maps crookedness, and the character
of the familiars and confidants he
gathered around him, to show that
he was one of the most shameless
and unprincipledo of those Democratic
Adventures who have crept into the
Republican organization to disgrace
it. The Republican press, in our
opinion, is not called upon to cover
up the ras reality of these fellows, but
rather to denounce and repudiate it
and them. A failure to realize that
the hour calls for honest and radical
efforts to rid the public service OF
thieves and plunderers, and to put
none but men of representative hon.
.esty and integrity forward as candi'
dates, may cost lis dearly.

PAYNE's bill, adopted by the Dem
ocratlc caucus as measure of COM
promise Of conflicting views upon
the currency question, has not proved
a success in that direction. 1t came
up in the House on Monday, and was
defeated by vote of 81 to 1856,
showing a majority of nearly two
thirds against it, while it would have
required majority of two-thlrds in
its favor to pass it. A comparison
Of the vote shows that with the Re-
publican majority not considered, the
Democrats could not have passed the
bill by the requisite majority, thus
demonstrating the fact that there is
an irreconcilable difference which no
compromise can bridge over, between
the hard and soft money elements in
the Democratic party. 1t is not
probable that the Democrats can
secure a two-thirds vote of that party
for any bill which, however remotely,
looks to the ultimate resumption of
specie payments.

INFLUENCE OF THE PREss.-On the
intelligent and loyal press OF the
country the hopes of the nation de-
pend. The people look to the press
for correct information, and on this
they base their judgment of govern
mental affairs. A bad paper conveys
a moral poison wherever it circulates.
If it is edited with commanding abil
ity, its power for evil is greatly i'll
creased, and this is greatly enlarged
in proportion to its circulation
How vital, then, in view of this, be
comes the necessity of supporting
good papers. Every citizen who be-
lieyes in public and private morality
should extend liberal support to his
home paper. His first duty should
be to strengthen that. 1t he has pat
ronage. it should 60 to the local or

The Dubuque Herald makes the
characteristic statement that "Pendle
ton has done foolish thing, but no
is not a thief and bribe-taker like
Belknap." The Heralds idea of
what constitutes thieving is, to. say
the least, peculiar. Thus, for pres
ldent of railroad company to en-
ploy himself as attorney to collect a
claim of Sl4s,oOO for the company,
promising to pay himself $4,000 for
his labor, which consumed three days,
and then to gobble up three-fifths OF
the remainder of the claim as admin
istrator of an estate which he after
wards acknowledged had no interest
in it, finally turning over abost
$4,000 of the $l4s,OOO to the stock
holders OF the road; to do this, says
the Herald. is not to steal, but sim
ply to do ga foolish thing" Possibly
the Herdld's estimate of Pcndleton's
foollshness. is based on the fact that
he did not take the other $4,000.

Connecticut is the next State to
vote. On the first Tuesday in April,
4th prox., it will elect State and Leg
islative officers. Last yefr the Dem.
ocrats carried the State by 6,54s ma
jority on the Governors vote. So
large majority in comparatively
small State will be hard to overcome,
and therefore a Republican victory
can scarcely be anticipated; but the
adverse majority will be reduced full
ly one-half, and the State placed IN al
least the position Of doubtful for the
Presiden .ial. contest. In 1872 the
Republicans carried the State by
4,95s majority, and Gen. Jewell was
elected Governor by over 1000 plur

THE Dubuque Herald says in one
paragraph in late issue, that Pen

bribe-taker like Belknap." You pays
your money and you takes your

THE testimony of quite number
of witnesses before Clymer's Com
mittee brings the charge of trafficking
in post traderships, and the recel ton
Of large sums of money theretron,
directly to the door of Gen. Hedrick
of Iowa. Gen. Custer testified that
the post trader at Fort Lincoln told
him that his profits were $4,000 an
nually, one-third of which went to
Hedrick. OF course the latter was
not acting on his own account, and
this may be regarded as another de-
velopment of Belknap's raseality, as
Hedrick is one of his bosom friends.

The State Register is abusing Gee

The State Register is abusing Geo
VIM. Curtis, Of Hdrper's Weekly,
one of the truest and purest Republi-
cans in the country, who was the
leader of the authorizing men in
the New York Republican Conven-
ton, stigmatising him as semi
Democrat, and taunting him with
the defeat of his purpose, to have the
New York delegation to the National
Con, ention go untrammeled by in
structions. We do not see the Justice
of this. Mr.. Curtis did not utter one
word in that convention. nor has he
out of it, in contravention of the best
principles and policy of the Republi-
can party. If he was outspoken in
his treatment of the causes which
have brought disaster and discredit
upon the party, it was because plain
speech and unambiguious truth are
the necessities of the situation
Neither was Mr.. Curtis or his asso-
GATES without success in the conven-
ton. The moral victory was with
them, at least. Out of the 432 dele
gates to the convention only $50
were found willing even to suggest
the name of Mr.. Conkling rs Pres
idental candidate, and had the effort
been made to instruct or pledge the
delegation for him, it would undoubt-
eddy have been defeated. Mr.. Conk-
ling has not the support and con-
fidence of the better class of New
York Republicans, nor can he count
upon very earnest or tenacious sup
port from the delegation at Cincin-
natl.

The Confederates are about to en-.

conduct of the war, in the hope of
demonstrating to an astounded ma
ton that the horses in the Army of
the Potomac were not properly fed,
and that the uniforms of the Boys in
Blue were abandoned to the ravages
of the moth which corrupts. In
short, the vanquished Confederates
expect to show that the victorious
Union armies were badly managed
as regards horse fodder and clothing,
and that some Of the Quartermasters
were not as honest as they should
have been. Incidental to the inves-
LEGATION it will be necessary to show
that the Quartermasters, horses and
moths were all Republicans; else why

The Dubuque Times learns through
a letter received by his brother, from
Hon. Christian Wu,lweber, e. S.
Minister to Ecuador, that after he
arrived at Quito, he gradually grew
weaker and in every way poorer in
health, until at last he quite despaired
of recovery. AT the time of writing,
however, he had somewhat recuper-
ated, and his physician gave him as
surance of fair prospect Of recov-
cry that would be permanent, and
leave him in better condition than he
had known for years. Mr.. Wullweb-
er's host of friends in Northern Iowa
will fervently pray that this may
prove true.
