THE Iowa Republican State Conven-
ton was held at Des Moines on the
9th. Hon. John H. Gear, of Burling-
ton, was nominated for Governor, Hon.
Frank J. Campbell, Of Jasper County,
for Lieutenant Governor, and Chief
Justice Day, the present incumbent, re-
nominated for Supreme Justice. Reso-
buttons in reference to National affairs
were adopted as follows .s-~r
1. That the United States of America is a
Nation-nOt league; that, by the combined
workings Of the National and State Govern
ments, the rights OF every citizen should be
everywhere secured. Failure to secure
them is criminal neglect.
, The Republican party has done the
work Of the preservation Of the Government,
TO which the Nation owes its life, and the
Republican party is unfinished.
5. The permanent pacihcatiOn of the South
and the complete protection of all citizens
in the free enjoyment Of all their rights is a
duty to which the Republican party stands
sacredly pledged. The power 90 provide for
the enforcement Of the principles embodied
in the recent Constitutional amendments
is vested by the amendments in
Congress, and we declare it TO be
the solemn obligation of the Legislative
and Executive Departments Of the
Government TO put into immediate
and vigorous exercise all their cOnstitu-
tional powers for removing any just causes
Of discomfort on the part Of any class, and
for securing TO every American citizen COM
-plete liberty and exact equality in the eXer-
else Of civil, political and public rights. To
this end we imperatively demand of Con-
gress and of the Chief Executive a courage
and fidelity TO these duties, which shall not
falter until the results are placed beyond
dispute or recall.
T. The public credit should be sacredly
maintained, and all the obligations the Gov
eminent honestly discharged, and that we
favor the early attainment Of a currency con-
yertible with coin, and therefore advocate
| gradual consumption of specie payments by
Z continuous and steady steps.
>. The silver dollar having been the Legal
unit Of value from the foundation of the
/ Federal Government until 1873, the law UNI
( der which its coinage was suspended should
! be repealed at the earliest possible day, anC
/ silver made, with gold, a legal tender for thu
payment of ali debts, both public and pri-
waite. We also believe that the present vol
ume Of currency should be maintained un
! til the wants of trade and commerce de
mand its further contraction.

A SPECIAL service was held In the
nave of Westminster Abbey, Saturday
afternoon, June Sd, in celebration OF the
fourth centenary of the introduction OF
printing into England by William Cax-
ton. There was an immense crowd in
attendance. The feature of the musical
part of the service was Mendelssohn'
HYMN of Praise, composed in 1910, in
commemoration of the invention of
printing by Gutenberg. The hymn ends
with the words of st. Paul, Romans xiii,
p. in Luther's version: 1.-The night is
departing, the day is approaching.
Therefore let US cast off the works of
darkness, and let US grid on the armor
of light Dean SANKEY'S sermon was
preached from the text. He compared
most eloquently the condition of Eng
land in 1477 with that of the England
of to-day, and attributed to the print
ing-press an important place among the
influences that have produced the
change.

Consumption Cured by Prayer
and the Laying On of Hands.

1t would seem, from the circumstances
we are about to relate, that the age of
miracles is not yet over, but that cures
are vet effected through Divine agency
as they were in ancient times. Ayoung
married lady living few miles from this
town, named Mrs. Winnie Case CORNER
ly Miss Sharper, has for some months
been reported as almost gone with con-
sumption. Every thing that the best
medical skill could devise has been re-
sorted to, but in vain. Finally, when
all hope had fled, when she, and all
those around her, had given up in
despair, and there seemed to be but a
very few weeks of life remaining at the
most, distant relative, an aged and
devout man of Ga years, the most OF
whose life had been spent In religious
work, came here on a visit, and while at
the house engaged in earnest prayer
with Mrs Case, laying his hands upon
her head and praying for her recovery.
Strange as it may seem to the skeptleal,
her recovery commenced Immediately,
and she is now well woman. She was
in our office yesterday, and personally
gave every evidence of complete recoy-
ery. Her face has resumed its healthy
appearance; she is able to do hard
davis work without fatigue, and her step
is as elastic and vigorous and her lungs
apparently as sound as when she was in
perfect health. 1t is certainly remark
able case. She is earnest in her thanks
giving for her recovery, and gives all
credit to the Lord for it.-Spr1ng VGItey

CAPT. p. H. BOWLING, Postmaster at
Toledo, Ohio, has been requested by the
President to resign, but refuses to do
so, on the ground that no charges have
been preferred against him and that his
resignation under the circumstances, to
give place to another person, would be
antagonistic to the spirit OF civil-seryice
reform. He therefore prefers removal
TO resignation. Mr.. Alexander Reid,

ONE of the most atrOcious crimes ever
perpetrated in the State of Ohio was the
murder, in Logan County, near the vii
LACE of Gore, of Mr.. John Weldon, his
widowed sister (Mrs. Susan McClurg),
and Miss Nancy Hite, a daughter of
Mrs. McClurg by former husband. On
the morning of the 22d Weldon was
discovered in a field with his head
split open, and the two women
were found dead in the house,
all having been brutally murdered.
Weldon was a thrifty farmer, and had
recently sold his wool, besides having
made a sale Of some cattle and sheep,
and it was generally supposed that he
had money about the house. Two men,
named VIM. Terrell and Joseph King,
were arrested upon suspicion of being
the guilty parties, and Terrell made a
confession, throwing the onus of
guilt, however, upon King. SUISSE
ouent investigation led to the
belief that Terrell was alone concerned
in the murder, and so great was the
feeling against him that he would have
been lynched had not the Sheriff re-
moved him to Lancaster, Fairfield
County, for safe-keeping.

THE United States Supreme Court
has rendered decision in another
" Granger" case, affirming the right of
State to fix the rate of fare and
freights on railways, unless such rail-
ways are protected by their charters.
The Chief-Justiee, who delivered the
opinion, held that the corporation of
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad Company is liable to such rules
and regulations as may be prescribed by
the Iowa Legislature, in fact, that
when the Legislature steps in and fixes
rates, it operates upon corporations as
it does upon individuals engaged in a
similar business. I.

mand to strict accountability. Under
these regulations laborers shall be en-
ployed by the proper officers in charge

without regard to political or other con-
siderations No officer or employee of
any of the navy-yards shall require or
request any workingman to contribute
or pay any money for political purposes,
nor shall any workingman be discharged
for political opinions. A Board of In
spectors shall be appointed to inspect
material purchased to decide if it is of
a good quality and of fair market price.

AN official examination of the affairs
of the old Charter Oak Life Insurance
Company, of Hartford, Conn.,, shows a

THE forthcoming issue of POor''s RGi5-
'cay Manual will show that during 1876,
1850 miles of road were opened up and
put in operation, as against 1919 miles
in 1875 and l ,911 in 1874. The increased
mileage in 1876 is attributed chiefly to
the extension of Southern Pacific lines
and the construction of narrow gauges
in various sections of the country. As
compared with 1875, gross earn
ings fell off over S5,OO0,OOO, but net
earnings increased nearly S1,000,000.
This apparent anomaly is attributed to
greater economy in operating roads and
to the increased use of steel rails. Since
1871 there has been invested in railroads
the sum of $4,000 900, an amount
about equal to the national debt. The
profits of the various roads in 1876
equaled 3 per cent. of capital invested
which is considered a fair showing.

IT is reported from Washington that
the new Civil-service rules are nearly
completed and viii be announced in a
few days. From private utterances of
the President it is inferred that all Fed
eral officers will be prohibited from tax
ing active part in political manifesto
tons, becoming members Of political
conventions, or serving as members of
political committees. The President, in
a recent conversation on the subject,
said that while the enforcement of such
a rule might, and probably would, work
some injury to the Republican party for
a little while to come, it was sound in
principle, and he would insist upon its
being strictly observed.

IT is authoritatively announced that
an arrangement has been effected by
which England, with the consent of the

Sultan), shall occupy Egypt, England
TO fix her own time when the movement
shall begin. A British force of 10000
men is already told off for occupation,
and will be under command of General
Sir Thomas Steele. Not only
are the troops ready, bat camp
and all other necessary arrangements
have been made in Egypt. This i'm
portant movement is ostensibly for the
protection of the Suez Canal, the frail
tendon connecting England with her
Indian possessions, but that it will re-
suit in the establishing of a permanent
protectorate 10y England over Egypt is
the expressed belief, and doubtless hope,
of many intelligent Englishmen.

The following additional particu-

Indian uprising in Idaho; The scene
OF the first massacre is on the Salmon
River and tributaries of that stream

mountains. The settlement called Camas

have been received the wives and chill
dren Of the murdered men, together
With the families Of men who had escap-
ed the massacre. Their position was
considered extremely critical, as the In
dams had declared their determination
10 take the fort and murder the men,
and it was believed they would not
again spare the women and children.
In contradiction to previous reports that
the troops behaved badly, this account
says that the troops, though they al
lowed themselves to be decoyed into an
ambush, displayed throughout the ac-
ton the utmost gallantry, and fought
like tigers. About % or 80 soldiers were
killed in about the same number Of min
