THE OTTUMWA COURIER
WEDNESDAY, MORNING. SKrr. Is, 1876.
From Taandays Daily.

rUR AhuUoay D0V
A little daughter Of David Rails
back, about seven years old, while at
play in the school house yard, yestcr-
day, fell and very seriously injured
one of her arms. We are informed
by DIR. Lathrop that no bones were
broken, and that the child will soon
be around again.
Yesterday was Iowa Day" at the
Centennial, and Hon. c. c. Nourse
delivered an uncommonly fine ora
ton on Iowa as it is, and has been,
which makes over eight finely print
ed columns in the Register. With a
humor which will be appreciated by
the newspaper fraternity, the Register
speaks of having received il as a
special.
Over two hundred Iowans were
present in the large audience which
listened to the Grafton.
We have clipped it out and shall
avail ourselves of an early opportuni,
ty to refer to its interesting historical
statements.
We are informed by VIM. Farmer
that yesterday morning just before
daylight a tranger,accompanied by {
lady and boy, from somewhere il
the western part Of the State, and on
his way to Birmingham, drove his
team in the creek about four miles
west of here, on the Eddyville read.
The water was very deep, and in an
instant the team was swimming and
the wagon bed, with the woman and
boy, floating down the stream. The
man hung on to the lines and the
team pulled him ashore, and instead
of making some effort to rescue the
passengers afoat on the wagon-bed
he started off to the nearest neighbol
for assistance. In the meantime The
wagon-bed turned over and spilled
the occupants out, but the boy man
aged some way to regain his position
and helped the woman on board also
After floating down stream about al
eighth ola mile they managed to eff
feet landing, none the worse fol
their bath particularly. 1t was mar
row escape, and that heroic mar
should be awarded medal for per
sonal bravery. Would it not be wei
to builds bridge over that creek?

Thirteen of the boss whisky thieves
of Chicago, commonly called 'the
first batch of squealers," have just
come into court and had their cases
dismissed, because they showed to
the court conclusively, that they had
been promised total immunity if they
would swear their sins on to some
one else.
The roaring farce called the whis-
ky war is rapidly petering out
These thirteen thieves, like their con-
federates at st. Louis and Milwau-
kee, were promised immunity if they
would furnish substitutes, and of
course distillers and rectifiers, who
had been daily making false returns
of their sales for years, under oath
wouldn't hesitate long about perjnr-
ing themselves, when to do SO, would
keep them out of the penitentiary and
save them their ill gotten plumber
Under the directions and disagreement
of the authorities at Washington these
fellows who were caught by the gov
eminent officers when the raid COM
menced, May 10, 1876, in aagrante de-
licto, and who were being tried and
convicted as fast as their cases were
reached, were permitted TO escape by
perjuring themselves in the hope that
some one nearer the s'old man." as
the president was facetiously called,
might be caught. tits likely that the
process of elihination might have
gone on under this infamous barter
and sale business until at st. Louis,
Chicago and Milwaukee, the sins of
the entire whisky ring would have
been concentrated on the broad
shoulders Of some one vicarious thief
in each one of the cities of Chicago,
st. Louis and Milwaukee, and then
these scapegoats could have convent
emily made their escape to Canada,
leaving the government without re-
suits, but the special counsel employ
ed, nevertheless, with their pockets
well filled with exhorbitant fees.
But the squealing business was
somewhat abruptly brought to an
end, when it became apparent that
courts and juries wouldn't convict
Babcock and Mum on squealers' tes-
timony alone. But it wasn't stopped
until the most guilty men in Mill
waukee, Chicago, and st. Louis, the
scoundrels who had been for years
systematically debauching all officers
set to looking after them, and de-
frauding the revenues, against whom
the subordinate officers, working up
the cases, had conclusive evidence,
were permitted to escape.
1t is q tame and impotent conclu-
sion, brought about by men for selfish
political purposes, who have been
wisely relegated to that private life
which they most fifty adorn.

Thu Democratic Candidate.


The democrats of this Congression-
al district, in convention assembled
at Oskaloosa yesterday, nominated
Judge Henry Bascom Hendershott, of
this city, as a candidate for Congress.
Judge Hendershott was one Of the
commissioners appointed to organ
ize Wapello county, and he has resid-
cd in this city since il was first laid
out. He has frequently held offices
at the hands of the people, including
seat one or two terms in the legis-
lature, and one term as Judge of the
Court of this Judicial District. OF
course this was in the palmy days of
democracy. when that party had pow
er to reward its partisans, he having
always been a thick and thin Bour-
bon of the most ultra character.
We believe that he has not been a
candidate of late for an office, except
in the spring of 1867, when he was
the regular democratic candidate fol
Mayor of this city, opposed by Mr.
James Hawley (now deceascd).
During that somewhat noted strug
gle, the COURIER took occasion tt
publish his articles written during
the war period. for the Democrat,
paper here, of which he was then ed
itor, and they were SO violently pro
slavery and manifested withal sucl
decided sympathics for the rebe
cause, that their republication at tina
time was mainly instrumental il
causing his defeat and the election O
Mr.. Hawlcy.
Few men have arrived at the age o
maturity in Wapello Co., who hav'
not heard his voice repeatedly at tn,
hustings, in defense of the divine in
stitution Of slavery; in denunciatioi
of the abolitionists in bitter hostili
ty to even allowing negro to testif.
in the courts, much less to the latel
developments of christianity and civ
ilization which have clothed him will
all the civil and political rights of cit
izenship.
Judge Hendershott came by thes'
political opinions as an inheritance
from his native state, Kentucky. w
have no doubt but that he entertain
ed them honestly then and, prcsum
he still adhercs to them yet, as w
have never heard from him, eithe
privately or publicly to the contrary
He is a man in the neighborhood o
from IS to GO, of very respectable abil
ity in his profession, the law, of fin
social characteristics, good address
and of more than ordinary ability a
a speaker, either at the bar or on tn
stump.
His politics are as atrocious as the
we'll can be. His character for hon
esty and integrity are above suspi
cion.
| We presume that he holds substal
TALLY the same political opinions o
the financial and other questions, a
his master Tilden.
He is a man utterly destitute q
personal magnetism, and his nomina
ton will secure united Democrat
vote in this district and no more
which will leave him about thre
thousand votes short of an electio
next November.
