We take it that the average Amcri-

as to the character of the man he
votes to elevate to the chief magistra-

We are informed that in the north
west portion of this county there is q
movement on foot by a gentleman
who has been acting with the Demo-
cratic party. for some years past, to
get up a Greenback candidate for
Congress. We'learn that this gentle
man talks for Hayes but opposes
Sampson. We warn Republicans
against being caught thus in the camp
of the enemy. This caaaot operate
other than into the hands of the Dem
ocracy, il. it has any effect. The only
regret we have is that even few good
men should be led into q snare by the
cunning and wary enemy. This gen.
tleman praises Hayes, we are told.
Yes, of course, this is q cunning way
to mislead Republicans. OF course,
he knows Hayes will carry Iowa, that
cant be helped, but if he can pitch in
and help defeat Republican Con-
gresham, where he is fool enough to
suppose there is some chance TO do
more dirty work in cahoot with
Democracy, he is in. Beware, Re-
.publicans align yourselves with
those who have been good members
of the party.

FISH.


The Des Moines river see ms to be
unusually well stocked with fish this
year, especially of the catfish persua-
sion. We have heard of many being
caught, with hook and line, weighing
as high as twenty five pounds. O.
Aumack came in this morning with
one which weighed Is lbs and which
he caught with hook and line near
Jetitics ferry. A party living in the
upper end Of the city, has done thriv-
ing business all during the past spring
and summer, catching catfish, which
they keep the market well supplied
with, at reasonable rates, all nicely
skinned and dressed. We suppose
that the great abundance OF fish in the
river may be attributed to the high
water which we have had for the past
two years, which has enabled lower
Mississippi catfish, drawing not more
than three feet of water to get over
our mill dams 'most any time of the
year. t ~

TAKE NOTICE,

That the Ottumwa COURIER Office il
not recruiting station. We haven't
lost any Indians, certainly no Sioux,
and don't propose to invade Major
General Sitting Bulls dominions to
find them. We can't tell where the
recruiting stations will be, or what
length of time enlistments are to be
made for, amount of pay or bountics,
are If any to be offered, or anything
else about the matter. We only know
that Congress, among the very last
of its acts, authorized an increase of
the cavalry regiments now in the SER
vice, to the extent of $500 more men.
We presume that very shortly new
recruiting stations will be announced,
and that the War Department will
fully advertise all the circumstances
for the information of the beligercnt
youths Of the country who seem to
have lost Sioux, provided that the
blue jeans and Confederate statesmen
who ran the last House, made any
provision for promulgating such in
formation.
We are led to make these few re-
marks because our sanctum is daily
invaded by men hunting for the inn
minent and deadly breech-clouts.
Their proper man is Major r. G.
Ballingall, Commandcr-in-C Chief Of all
the militia in these parts, who is now
East, doubtless making arrangements
to take his command to the front, and
to whom all inquiries Of military
character should be made, and not to
the COURIER Office, which, we again
repeat, for the information of all
concerned, is not a recruiting station.
