IOWA STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican State Convention Of Iowa
met in Des Moines, last Thursday, and over
nine hundred delegates answered to roll call.
The Opera House was crowded to the utmost,
and admission was granted only to holders OF
tickets. Governor Packard and Gen. Badger,
of Louisiana, occupied seats in a private box
to the left of the stage. James F. Wilson, of
Credit Mobilier fame, was elected temporary
Chairman, and the morning session was de-
voted to examining credentials and perfecting
an organization.
In the afternoon permanent organization
was effected, and Hon. James F. Wilson, OF
Tama, in taking the Chair, said that the prob
lem before the Convention was that of what
not to say. [Applause.] This somewhat dis
mayed the Convention, which, instead of lis
tening to the common resolutions, proceeded
to nominate candidates.
John H. Gear, of Burlington, was nomina-
ted for Governor on the first formal ballot,
which was regarded as the first blood for the
anti policy men.
Several attempts we're made to get in the
report of the committee on Resolutions but
the Convention seemed to dread the report,
and, instead of hearing it, proceeded with the
selection of candidates. Hearty applause
greeted every effort to stay back the commit
tees report. There was but little contest be-
tween candidates, but intense excitement pre-.

pressing him for his bill, but still making
some pretext for not opening the package, he
induced merchant to advance him $15 on
it, and hold it until next day, when he would
open it. Soon after the merchant paid the
charges on the package and advanced $l5 to
Black, the young man was seen vending his
way on foot out of town. This excited the
merchants suspicious and he took out war
rant and put an officer in pursuit of Black,
who was overtaken and arrested four miles
from town. The envelop was opened in pres.
ence of the trial justice, and found to contain
two slips of blank paper and a fictitious letter,
evidently in his own handwriting, but pur-
porting to be from the Shafer Manufacturing
Company, of New York. The young man
has been leading wild and reckless life for
one of his age.
Il. Cass Carpenter, ex-Revenue Collector
and formerly editor of the Columbia Daily
Union, was arrested in that city last week, on
the charge of altering two treasury warrants
from s55 and $95 to $685. and 1906. In the
preliminary examination before Trial Justice
Marshal, Treasurer Leaphart testified as to
the identity of the warrants upon which the
action was based, which were the originals on
ie in his Office The amounts as appearing
in the altered warrants were for 1866 and
$685. respectively. H. L. Tappan testified
that he was clerk in the treasurer's office in
1872 at the time the warrants were paid.
They were paid to Carpenter or his agent,
and were for Carpenters benefit The re-
ceipts are in his name. Woodruff and Jones
testified to the genuineness of their signatures
in approval of the accounts upon which the
warrants we're paid They could not testify
to the original of each or either; but admit.
ted that they would not have approved the &C.
counts in such a form for such large amounts.
They believed the figures had been altered.
Mr.. Jasper c. Roath, an expert Of banking
experience, testified that the figures had GER
tainly been changed, as he proved, from 55
and 95 to 655 and 695. Two additional war.
rants we're then produced by the State, both
in favor of Carpenter, and for the same work,
to wit: for publishing the law relative to
regulating insurance and licenses, and these
had likewise been tampered with and increas'
ed from the original amount of $40 and
s72O to 81, $40 and $1,720. The amounts in
all these papers are in figures and nowhere in
writing. The defence introduced no evidence,
but demanded a trial, and the case was order
ed to the higher court. Carpenter was admit
ted to bail in the sum of $4,000, his wife and
L. B. Johnston, of Sumter, being his sureties.

- The committee of investigation having
unearthed some of l.. Cass Carpenters vii
lainy, are now, according to the following Co
lumbia dispatch to the Ne,us and Courier, en-
gagged on a new scent:
The committee of investigation are as busy
az beavers, and while good policy requires as
little as possible to be said of their present
movements, am warranted in saying that
they are laying the wires for irst-class sen.
sation, which will become public at an early
day-probably during this week. The mem
bers are now working separately, and far
apart outside of Columbia, and all are conf
dent of being on the track of important mat
ters. 1t may be said, once for all, that the
committee, in whole and in part, are actively,
intelligently and tirelessly carrying cut the
business entrusted to them, as the result will
show.
The Journal Of Commerce has the following
dispatch on the same subject:
Senator Cochran's committee spent Satur-
day in the examination of the records in the
State House, and another haul is in the near
future. As the utmost secrecy is necessary to
accomplish their object, they decline to be in
terviewed. I can state positively, however,
that subcommittee of two has already left
here to investigate certain county treasurers
and commissioners. Mr.. Sheppard, of the
committee, is expected tomorrow, which will
ensure an effective working majority of the
com mmittee here besides those on the wing. A
member of the committee states that some re-
Gently prominent gentlemen will have to take
refuge in flight or 60 to the penitentiary.

self, as he sits on the bench for thirteen months
in the year, having cases brought before bis
court. The courts are in session nearly all
the time, and justice seems to predominant in
all, sending countless numbers of unlawful
men to the penitentiary, there to serve out
different terms, at hard labor.
Mr.. Dargan is an adjuster in the insurance
business, and seems to be doing we'll.
After remaining in Dallas two days, I took
passage for Sherman, where I now am. I
came over some of the grandest country the
eye ever rested on. The towns of Terrell,
Willis Point and Minneola, on the Texas and
Pacific Railroad, are all destined to be places
of note. They are built on the prairie, and
in splendid farming sections.
The wheat crop is excellent and will yield
from twenty to forty-6ve bushels per acre.
Corn has magnificent appearance, and there
will be large crop this season, as this coun-
try has not known the want of rain, having
been blessed with good rains all the year.
Sherman is built just on the edge of the
prairie, and leaving this place and travelling
in westerly direction, one comes in contact
with the finest farms in the world-well cul.
tivated, and producing anything any other
country can produce. All kinds of fruit,
grain, cotton and sugar cane, grow bountiful'
ly on the prairie. The greatest trouble with
the farmers on the prairie is to secure rails for
building fences, and wood for fuel-some
having to haul it ten and twelve miles.
Cattle raising is a very profitable business
in this section. Going beyond this county,
though. there is band of robbers who make
it their business to steal cattle, and there
seems to be no remedy or redress.
would advise all young men who entertain
the idea of "Going West," to remain at home
until the fall, unless they have plenty OF
money to 60 into business when they do come.
Young men who come here, unless we'll known
by residents, stand bad chance of getting
into business 1t is good country for CAPT
talists to come to, as there is q great field for
labor, either in farming or merchandising.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.

BullQlngS OF all kl0uS are SOIuS up I6puiyS
and there seems to be big prospect for fall
trade.
The Overton and Henderson Railroad is
lust completed, and now the merchants are &C.
static over the idea Of killing a good portion
of the Longview trade in cotton. Hender-
son, like most little towns in Texas, is growing
rapidly, and has five large counties from
which to increase her wealth. They calculate
shipping about twenty or twenty-five thousand
bales of cotton this fall. That section Of
Texas does not raise very large quantity Of
cotton, as the farmers devote most of their at
tention to corn, oats, wheat and stock raising,
(the latter not so extensively carried on, as
here in the west) They are all doing we'll,
and, unlike our farmers of South Carolina,
are all out of debt.
I remained one week in Rusk county, when
left for Dallas, and found that city quite q
business place. There was a continual bus
tie, and all the appearance of life and pros
perity. The residences are nearly all single
story, and very neat in outward appearance.
The business houses are principally of brick,
two and three stories. The Court House is
fine structure, built of granite, and having a
large conservatory on top, for the purpose Of
a town clock.
Having heard of our estimable friends and
citizens of our Palmetto State, Mr.. E. G. Nc.
Lure, formerly of Chester, and editor of the
Reporter, and Mr.. Dargan, of Wiunsboro, l
called to see these gentlemen. Mr.. Mcclure
has been elected to the Office of Magistrate
for Dallas county, and the "Judge" looks him.
