Ir is now al ~nndeniable fact, that
the Republicans of Iowa-the ban
DER Republican State Of the Union
are unequivocally opposed to the
Presidents Southern policy. At the
State Committee. held at Des Moines
On the 9th of June, in which esery
county Of the State was fully repre-
scented, q resolution endorsing the
Southern policy was voted down by
an overwhelming majority. The pru-
dent me0 Of the convention, desiring
to avoid any expression of antago-
nism to the administration, while at
the same time determined that the
flag should not be lowered, nor the
standard of Republication in the
least deprecated, reported q platform
Of resolutions eminently conservative
and non-committal, but a less wise
admirer of the administration CON-
peeled an expression of sentiment, by
pressing a resolution Of endorsement,
and thas precipitated . declaration
of hostility.
While. oil win regret this occur
renee. no other course was left the
sturdy Republicans Of. Iowa who
would not be forced into an en-
dorsement Of what their heads and
hearts condemned.

A WASHINGTON correspondent OF
the n. Y. Times informs that journal,
that an officer of the army now In
yicksburg, writes a friend, that the
work Of Cancellation is almost COM
plete in Mississippi. He says: The
truth is that while a Republican in
this State who keeps quiet may be
tolerated, if be takes an active part
10 politics with a fair show of sue
cess, he must he "~squelched," even
il a bullet hole has to be put through
his carcass.
Just now they are not killing very
lively in the State, but if the Repub-
licans should so far elevate their
heads as to show signs of dangerous
life in political matters, you woold
frequently hear Of unfortunate ARRAYS,
tragedies, fatal occurrences, but
never under the correct designation
of infamous and diabolical murders. "

On Monday night Miss Katie Put
mum, supported by fine company,
commences an engagement of three
nights at the Opera House. She has
played brilliant engagements to
crowded houses in the principal cities
OF the United States. Her success in
Cincinnati was very marked. The
Cincinnati Enquirer, speaking of the
grand benefit given her, says: "Last
evening was Miss Putnam's benefit,
anu the people showed their appreca-
ton OF the excellent acting of this
gifted lady by giving her bumper
house. The piece was "Linu," u serio-
comic drama in five acts, well suited
to display Miss Putnam's wonderful
vivacity and sprightly wit, as well as
her capacity to display the finer emo
lions of the heart. The impression
she produced last evening was pro-
found, and unqualified praise was on
the lips OF every one who saw her.
Lima is n wonderful little romp, yet
full of resolution and tender feeling.
There is n cruel uncle who wants to
to marry her TO man she hates, and
who drives away the man she loves,
but snoh diabolical plots never succeed,
on the stage, and everything comes
right In the end for the vivacious Lima,
who, In the person Of Miss Putnam
went through every change from grave
to gay in a manner which showed her
great capacity to delineate the most
varied shades of character. The app
plause which she received was OF the
most hearty character, and she was
called out after every act and at the
close of the play. One pleasing feature
Of her performance was the pretty
little songs with which she inter
spersed 1t, the original song and dance
composed by herself, entitled 'Cupiis
Garland, being especially admired.
The support she received from the
company was very good.n

Gaming,

The recent enforcement of the law
in this city relative to gaming has been
stoggerer to many, who have never
dreamed that the indulgence OCCASION
ally in the moral and intellectual rec
reatlon of game Of whisky pool
would render them liable to be ginned
by the State. Heretofore the Wholesale
indictment or heroic treatment Of this
disease has not been customary. The
present officers of the law seem deter.
mined to keep on digging until they
reach the Fjiluran period and strata Of
gambling, AMI touch the bedrock Of

The present posting OF legal notices
at the courthouse, is not sufficient or
just notice. Very few people see them
unless they happen to 90 10 the court
house. Often matters of vital interest
to parties have notices in reference to
them posted on the county bulletin
board, when they should be published
in the newspaper having lhe largest
circulation. A bill should be intro
duced into the next Legislature reqnir-
ing all legal notices to be published in

fair and good notice, but as the thing
works now, it does not carry out the
