Articles of incorporation OF the
Chicago, Iowa & Kansas Railway
Company have been filed with the
Secretary OF State. Tho capital
named Is $1,000, 900, and the indebt-
edness limited to $2,300,000. The
object stated Is to build and operate a
railway from Clinton, Iowa, to st.
Joseph, Mo-, via Iowa City, Sigour-
noy, Oltumws aud Corydon. This
is the route OF the Chicago, Clinton
& Western road, now being built
from Clinton to Iowa City. A large
part of the grading Is done southwark
from Iowa City. 1t seems probable
that the c. Is. 4 q. Company Is the
real mover In the matter. The OBJ.
vious plan is to use the main line OF

The Charlton Leader, Democratic,
Of course, says ''there Is more outra-
geous crime committed" within the
borders Of Iowa ethan in any South
ern State in the Union" tho Repu6-
icaa justly answers thus: "What is
the use of such senseless twaddle.
The man who wrote It don't believe
the statement, neither does he ex-
pect intelligent men who read, to
believe it. More outrageous crime
committed within her borders than
in any southern state in the Union!"
If people in other states can be made
to believe this, won't il have 4 ten
dency to bring migrants snd capi-
tai into our state. What a pity that
some men will let their ,inordinate
desire to he ultra run away with
their reason. But then perhaps il Is
as well when you do tell lie 10 tell
one that is so unreasonable that you
don't believe it yourself, nor expect
anyone else to believe it,"

Ben Hill recently said to an inter.
viewer: "The South, above all
things, wants M honest administra-
tion Of the general government, ac-
cording 10 the constitution. ] do
not know Gov. Hayes personally,
but from the information | got con-
cerning him, | believe he IL an hon
est and fair man. Being a lawyer
he IL also familiar with civil matters,
aud will naturally have respect for
the constitution and civil methods.
These things being true he must
necessarily discontinue the unwar-
rantable interference In the affairs OF
the South; he will also naturally
desire the cooperation OF the best
men in the South. IT this DO true
his administration will be agreat
gain and improvement tn the south
ern people who have no desire 10 resist
tho federal government, but they do
desire To be regarded rs n portion OF
this common country, and entitled
to the administration In the south
exactly as that administration is ex.
tended 10 other portions Of the coun.
try, and II she can get this plain,
honest administration and her best
people can be recognized by the fed
eral administration as the proper
representative of southern interest
and sentiment, the whole country
will perceive at once that the ultra
isms charged upon The south will
have no foundation in fact" And
now let me add elnphaticai.y Y that
come what may. the southern
people will remain In the Union.
They have tried secession, and they
know ii bore np fruit but bitterness.
The will never try II again.

Last Wednesday John Brown of
"Irish Bend" shot and killed Mai.
Fletcher, of Fairfield, at Keosauqua.
District Court was in session, and
Fletcher stood at desk in the clerks
Office examining papers connected
with suits in court in which he was
interested. Brown entered the office,
and enquired: "Is your name Fletch-
orr" Fletcher replied in the affir-
native, when Brown drew revol-
yer and shot him, the ball entering
just below the left eye and passing
entirely through the brain. Fletch.
er fell and expired almost instantly.
Brown submitted TO arrest without
attempt to resist or escape. Some
years ago Fletcher and his wife had
boarded In the family OF Mr.. Nc
Nee, In Keosauqua. Browns sister,
Miss Lizzie, who was also 4 sister OF
Mrs. McNee, was member of the
McNee household. Fletcher's wife,
being an invalid, was sent away for
treatment, and in few weeks
Fletcher went to st. Louis. a few
days later Miss Brown was missing.
Through ST. Lonis detectives she
was found living in seclusion in the
suburbs Of that city. Brown and an
other sister, Mrs. Craig, went there
and found Lizzie the mother of q
child. Last Spring Fletcher was ar
rested for seduction and placed under
bonds to appear OF court at keosau-
qua last week. His case was to be
tried this week. Brown had never
seen Fletcher until the moment the
fatal shot WAS fired. Brown is a
farmer In moderate circumstances;
WAS born In Scotland, and when q
boy removed to this country, with
Ave sisters. one of whom Is the wife
OF Robt. Sloan, Judge Of the Circuit
Court for the Van Buren, county
district. Fletcher was prominent
citizen OF Frirfield, an heir OF the
Bank estate OF Burlington. Having
been President of n Narrow gauge
Railroad from Keosauqua TO the
Summit, he removed temporarily to
the former place, where he resided q
year or more in the McNee family
as related above. He was promin.

Bennett-May Disgrace.

There has been OF late II great noise
In the press about the marriage en-
gagement between James Gordon
Bennett, the wealthy and dissolute
editor Of the New York Iieyald, and
Miss May, OF a wealthy and inhuen-
tial family In New York. Bennett
had made costly presents to Miss
May, and she went to Europe and
purchased her wedding outfit at a
cost of some 10000. A day was Ak
ed for the ceremony, some weeks
since, guests were invited, the bride
dressed and everything in readines
for the occasion, but Bennett failed
to appear. He made excuse that he
was not physically fitted for the
married state. The engagement
was broken, the bride at BENEFITS
request, retaining all the presents he
had made.
Then the matter was fixed up and
another day appointed for the mar
riagc last week. The wedding par
ty were to take steamer for Europe
Immediately alter the ceremony.
Again every thing was made ready
at the brides home, and again Ben
nett failed to appear, and it was AS
certained that he was DRINK. Then
Fred May, the brides brother, sailed
out with a cowhide In search Of Ben
nett, found him and gave him lash
ing, as he deserved, cutting the col
or from his face In several stripes.
Now Bennett and Fred have dis
appeared, and oil sorts Of rumors are
anoat about q duel.

The 100000 Dislranchised
votes.


A very simple computation, which
we find in the Chicago Tribune, and
which the veriest tyro in figures cam
not misunderstood, disposes at once
OF the fustian and nonsense paraded
about Tilden's majority. To make
Ip what arithmeticians who clamor
for postoffices or ''goah" figure out
Tilden's majority on the popular
vote is wholly ignored what is i'm
fact the popular vote. The census
Of 1870 shows what number of votes,
on the usual ratio of voters 10 the en-
tire population, which should have
been cast at n Presidential election
in the States which returned the
largest majorities for Tilden. Com
pared with the total vote these fig
ures are significant. They are as
follows:

Grant was never more clearly or
honestly elected than Hayes now.
The Republicans have not had a fair
chance. We have gone rs far rs we
can go with our plan. There is
nothing left for US after this contest,

morning, with all his family about

These figures tell the whele story
Of the manner in which the South
was buldozed for Tilder. Reams of
affidavits will not do away with
them. They represent presice!y
the vote suppressed by threats, in
timidation, and rifle clubs. They
show exactly how States like Missis-
sippi and Alabama, which at n fair,
free election would certainly be car
ried by the Republicans, were made
to give majorities for Tilden; how
the Republican majority was reduc-
ed i'm Louisiana and the Republican
vote In the other States named cut
down. The 20, 200 votes deficiency
i'm the poll In these six States should
in order to truly foot up the pop
ular vote, be added to the Hayes
column. The suggestive fact is APP
parent upon the face Of the figures in
South Carolina what reduction be-
sides should be made from the vote
of Tilden as figured up by the thirst
ers after post-oiiices or blood. The
total vote of South Carolina in the
ratio Of the full vote To the entire
population should have been l56,Sol.
But the vote returned was s2,T16.-
which explains more satisfactorily
how the Democratic majority in
Edgeliele and I.aurcus counties eA-
al Iha a. It,,ta. ,IliIllttIIS nj VOTERS
in those counties. The figures rom
the seven States alone show that the
whole of the majority on the popular
vote claimed for Tilden was the re-
suit Of bulldoZing and fraud.
