A SPECIAL grand jury, empaneled fol
that purpose in New Orleans, have
found indictments against Ex-Gov
Wells and Gen. Anderson, the white
members of the Louisiana Returning
Board, for perjury. This action, which
is the work of the Bourbon Democrats
in opposition to Gov. Nichols, under the
lead of Wilt, Lieut.. Governor, is under
stood to be instigated by the Manhattan
Club in New York, to keep the Presi
Dental contest alive for capital. 1t is q
gross and wanton breach of faith on the
part of the Louisiana Democrats, and in
violation of the pledges given by Gov
Nichols, that no suits would be com
menced for political otfenses. Gov
Nichols friends maintain that he haG
nothing to do with the proceeding; that
he is outraged and indignant over it as
shameless breach of faith, and that
should the cases come to trial, which is
not likely, and conviction ensue through
packed jury he will promptly interpose
his executive pardon, The President is
reported to be much outraged by the
proceeding. The charge is based on the
oath required to be made by the Return
ing Board. that the returns have been
canvassed according to law. The law
under which they acted gave the widest
discretion as to the manner Of the can

THE contemptuous and bitterly sar-
castle tone adopted within a week or
two past by the Dubuque Times toward
the President, seems to indicate a con-
templated change in it's attitude toward
the administration, and that it is posi-
bly going to join the ranks of the enc

making a pretext thereof, the rec cent
Civil Service order This surmise is not
warranted by the fact that the Times
differs with the President as to the JUS
tice or wisdom of said order, but by the
manner of it's opposition. 1t is not ex-
pected that all Republicans will see
alike, or coincide with every particular
item in the reform policy of the Presi-
dent, but there is difference between
the blows of friend and those Of an
enemy; the thwacks of the Times seem
like the latter We doubt if during the
last campaign the Times estimate OF

pended on the President, his Cabinet.
and this particular manifestation of his
policy. We may be mistaken in judg-
ing that this radical departure from its
previous attitude of calm and dispas-
sionate judgment and dignifed express
ion betokens purpose to align itself with
the State Register and other fiery ma
lignants, but it looks like it.

WE made the assertion last week that
the eleventh, or prohibition plank in the
Republican State platform, under the
circumstances of it's adoption, was an
arrant piece of demagoguism. We are
more than justified in this judgment
by the comments made upon it by the
party press. We find the State Regis
ter, almost before the ink of the resolu-
ton is dry, fastening to assure the OPP
ponents of prohibition that it does not
surely commit the party to that princi-
pie; that in fact it may mean or be in
terpreted as demand for more law or
less, local option or license; it being I'M
derstood, of course, that the intepreta-
ton is to take color from the locality in
which it is made. This gives intense
satisfaction to the whiskey element
who, from the plain reading of the reso-
luton were disposed to kick over the
traces, a satisfaction enhanced by the
statement that the mover of the resolu-
ton is himself license man. This
convenient and interchangeable interpre-
tation makes it easy for them to recon
cile the platform with the candidate for
Governor. 1t is humiliating for honest
Republicans who love their party for its
straight forward enunciations of princi-
pie to see this juggling work incorpor-
ated in their platform, but it is of q
piece with the influences that brought
about the nomination of the head of the
| ticket.

The B,dctin of Buchanan county, is the only
Republican paper in Iowa, SO far as we nave
seen, which endorses the spirit and the tyranny
of the civil service order The editor or the
Bulletin holds Federal Office, and very evident
ly he intends to keep that office If it is possi-
bic thing for him to doit.-Des MOines Register.
The BULLETIN endorses the spirit OF
the civil service order and the end to be
arrived at by it's PRONUNCIATION, but it is
not prepared to say that it might not be
modified to advantage in some particu-
lars. Speaking of the editor hereof
holding Federal office and desiring to
retain it, the editor of the Register
ought to know from his own experience,
that our endorsement or nOn-endOrse-
of this or any other Presidential policy
would not affect our tenure hair
breadth. An office holder who has test
ed the Presidents forbearance to the
extent the Register man has, and is yet
without the coveted martyrs crown is
the last man who should talk OF the
present administration rewarding sub
seryiency.

Two speeches were made on the
Fourth which are attracting a consider
able share of public attention. One was
made by Senator Blaine and the other
by Ex-Gov. Chamberlain, of South Car
DINA, both at Woodstock, Conn. Mr.
Blaine's speech was devoted to the
question of annexation of territory and
vigorous attack upon what he chooses
to consider an incipient project to abb
sorb portion of Northern Mexico.
The speech of Ex-Gov. Chamberlain
was bitter and vindictive arraignment
of the President and his Southern poll
cy, characterizing the latter in the
severest terms, and exhausting the re-
sources of language to find terms foul
enough to fit to it. 1t was most hui
initiating position for Gov. Chamberlain,
whom people have credited with some
sense and discretion. 1t was listened to
calmly by the audience, and when end
ed, Rev. Mr.. Stoddard, of Fairhaven,
rose, and remarking that in his opinion
the speech did not represent the feeling
of New England, demanded that all who
were in favor of the policy of the Presi-
dent should signify it. The instant re-
Spouse was three rousing cheers for

"A notable sale of real estate took
place in Jones county recently. G. G.
Walworth, of Boston, sold his farm of
900 acres, with Holstein stock, tools,
&C., to D. S. Hosford & Sons for $40
600. 1t was the largest transfer ever
made in the county. So saith the En-
reha.
F. Weymiller, of New Albin, was
killed by the cars while crossing the
trestle work near the Iowa river. He
was drunk and the curve prevented the
engineer from seeing him until too late
to stop the train.
A horrible case of brutality was
brought to light in Iowa City last week.
A twelve-year-old daughter of man
named Bright was found in an empty
old building, nearly naked, chained to
the floor with a heavy iron chain and
shackles on her legs. Food was thrown
to her as to beast. Her bed was rot
ten straw and rags. When the child
was three years old an attack of scarlet
fever shattered her mind. She has been
kept in there, chained, for nine years,
and now does not weigh over twenty
pounds Public feeling runs high
against the unnatural parents.

The Civil Service Order.

The Clinton Herald, while not dispos-
ed to unqualifedly endorse the Presi-
dents order to Government officials, for
bidding them to make use of their off
cial influence in the management Of
caucuses and conventions; declaring its
belief that he has undertaken more than
he can accomplish, and that if he is wise
he will not attempt such personal con-
troll, is nevertheless not disposed to ca
wort around and make an ass of itself
in consequence. 1t says:
One thing is clear; he has struck a
death blow to anything like an office
holders party" while he is in power. II
will not be said of his administration
that party conventions were made up OF
his underlings, seeking to perpetuate
themselves in place. No postmaster
route agent or revenue or custom-hOuse
official need interest himself to renomi-
nate his Congressman, or to set up any
political pins whatever, to retain his
place. He need not subscribe to pay
campaign expenses, unless he does il
voluntarily. President Hayes means to
have it understood that office-holders
are neither the slaves of party, nor its
dictators, and that they are expected tc
take back seats as to the managing part
of the business.
This is so new, so strange, and such a
revolution in political ideas, that the ole
stagers have been taken entirely of
their feet by it, and they do not know
yet where they are, or what to do with
it. But that the order contains the
germ of great reform is manifest, anG

MagnamInIty and federation.

The above traits in the President 5
character and the equanimity with
which he receives all assaults upon
himself or his action in governmental
affairs are well illustrated in the follow
ing dispatch to the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, July 5.-During "A con
versation to-day between the President
and a Western Senator, incidental illu-
sion was made by the latter to the
speeches delivered yesterday by Messrs
Chamberlain and Blaine, when the Pres
ident said he had not yet read but only
heard something of their remarks, es-
pecially in condemnation of his South
ern policy. He had the highest respect
for these gentlemen, and so far as he
knew the personal relations between
them and himself are of friendly char
acter; at all events he entertained fol
them the most kindly sentiments. While
he claimed for himself the free utter
ances of political opinion, he certainly
could not object to such course on
their part. Their ideas of his public du
ty were different from his own, but OF
that he did not complain; He, however
had acted from a sense OF duty, in order
to accomplish complete reconciliation
in the South, and had done so from the
best lights which were afforded, and the
best judgment he could command, after
a full view of the situation, and with al
earnest desire to produce satisfactory re
suits. He would not quarrel with those
who questioned the soundness of his
Judgment or honesty. His motives he
was willing to leave to time for vindi
cation of his course.

The latest reports from the Russo
Turkish war are to the effect that the
Russians have been compelled to aban-
don the siege of Kars. 1t is reported
that within the last week they have lost
10000 men, and that their left wing is
annihilated. If the siege of Kars is
raised and the Russians retire, the cam
paign in Asia will be practically ended
for this year. Meanwhile their armies
on the Danube remain inactive except
as they are employed in pillaging Turk
ish towns and cities. The hostile atti-
tude of England and Austria is contin-
ually becoming more pronounced, and
the English Cabinet are seriously dis
cussing the proposition to send the army
corps under orders for Egypt, to Con-
stantinople instead, for the purpose of
anticipating the occupation of that city
by the Cars forces.

THEY have a unique way of disposing
Of the potato bug in Germany, though
how effeetual the process may prove is
yet an unsolved problem. A Colorado
bug, with true Western enterprise, took
passage in a ship with his family for
Europe, and settled down for business
in potato field at Mulheim. When the
authorities became aware of his pres
ence, they forthwith covered the field
with tan-bark, saturated it with petrole-
UNI, and set it on fire, the proprietor be-
ing remunerated by the government for
the loss of his crop The Emperor may
felicitate himself that he has thus rid
his dominions Of the intruder, but the
odds are that he will find the Yankee
bug the most stubborn problem OF his
reign.

Sharp but Dishonest.

The actual fact: The President, s pol
icy was not voted on in the Republican
Convention of Iowa at all, Mr., Cults
an opponent of the policy, moved to en-
endorse it. This was put in writing
and ordered to the committee ON plat
form. with instructions to report with
out delay. While the committee was
out Mr.. Cults introduced another reso-
luton, of the same import, after max
ing arrangements, it is said, for mo-
ton to table it. This motion was I'M
properly entertained, when the resolu-
ton should have been ruled out, and SO
the vote of the Convention to get rid OF
an impertinence is quoted as three
fourths" vote against the policy! This
was very sharp but very dishonest.

Struck 1t Rich.
Sioux City journal.

Dan CASTILLO, who used to be circus
proprietor, but is now managing a min
ing company in the Black Hills, was in
Chicago the other day after a thirty
stamp mill, the ten-stamper which the
company is now using being too small.
A Times reporter interviewed Castillo,
and learned that the quartz he was
working yields $1S to the ton, and with
the new mill he expects to easily pound
out forty-fve tons a day. The mine is
at Leeds City, Gu Poor Mans Gulch,
three miles from Dcadwood, and keeps
improving as the shaft gets further into
the ledge. He thinks that the placer
and gulch mining will soon play out, but
that the quartz will probably last for
many years. The Hills are full of
greenhorns and worthless characters,
most of whom tramp around for day
or two with pick and spade, and not be-
ing able to strike 1t rich, give up in dis
gust and work their way back to the
States as best they can.

to have been of no avail in checking the
crime for which the miserable men were
swung from the gibbet. The murders
continue with the same frequency and

tons have had the effect of making
crime more marked than ever, several
