Note This,


We took occasion to speak in terms
of earnest condemnation of the DEM
ocracy of the House defeating Gen.
Shields, the old wounded veteran and
Union hero with Fields an ex-rebel
general, who after the war went to
Egypt and engaged in the military
service of the Khedive of that king
dom, where he remained up to with
in two years past. After all this he
elevated to the Office of doorkeeper of
the Lower House of Congress by the
democrats over Gen. Shields. Our
structures upon this raised the ire of
the Knoxville Democrat and the Of
tumwa Democrat. They sustain their
party in such conduct. We said will
a party that will do such things sue
coed? We again put the question,
will the people Of this country, will
the people of Wapello and Marion
counties, sustain those who take is
sue with us when we say that a party
is wrong, sadly wrong, that deliber-
ately sets aside an old wounded, needy
veteran of the Union, for young ex-
rebel general; one who fled his coun-
try after his treason, and has but re-
Gently returned? We say that no
party should be sustained who SO
does; these twin Democrats say it
should, and that it was right to throw
Shields overheard for Fields. We are
not disappointed. The southern lash
and yoke is laid upon the backs of
these democratic Journals, and they
are weak enough to meekly suffer the
infection. They have not political
sentiment or aspiration in the world

CEN. r, M. DRAKE,

From very good authority we learn
that Appanoose county will present
the name of Gen. F. M. Drake before
the Republican Congressional Con.
vention of this District. We have il
also, that the presentation of his name
will be seconded by Monroe and
Davis counties.
Gen. Drake was a fellow comrade
in arms with us in the great struggle
for the Union-was Lieut.. Colonel oil
the seth Iowa Infantry, and was Sc.
verely wounded at the battle Of
Marks Mills, Ark, and for his gal
lantry on that occasion was brevetteG
Brigadier General. Since the close O
the war he has been largely engaged
in an important railroad enterprise
important to Appanoose county. HI,
is now, we believe, president of tn,
company. For some years, too, h,
has been in an active and successful
practice of the law at Centerville.
Gen. Drake has always been an &C
tive, earnest and able republican
from the birth of the party and he
a gentleman of remarkable energ,
and push. Though we have through
out been reticent in attempting to in
fluence the public mind in favor q
the nomination of anyparticular mar
we may very properly, we think, re
fer thus briefly to the candidacy of al
/ old fellow soldier.

HE English Board of Trade re-

THE English Board of Trade re-
turns, for the three months ending
March 81, brings out in striking relief
the enormous volume of our grain eX-
ports during the year. For the same
period of last year wesent to the Uni
ted Kingdom about five millions OF
hundred weights of wheat, valued i'm
round numbers at Sl5,OOO,OOO. This
year we have sent eight millions OF
hundred weights, ,lued at 49,, OOO,-
600. In the British imports of Amer.
lean -four there is an increase for the
three months of sS,OOO,OOO, and in
corn, chiefly from the United States
of $4,OO0,OOO. As an offset, however
to the SIG, 900 of increase in oul
quarters exports of breadstuffs t.
Great Britain, thus accounted for
there is falling off amounting to s.,
SOC, 1000 in cotton. Last year also, tn,
British receipts of American whea
from the Pacific coast We're twice a.
great as they have been during tn,
first quarter of this year, while the re
ceipts from Atlantic and Gulf port
have nearly quintupled. The sam,
tables show a uniform decline in tn,
exports of cotton and linen manufac
lures from England to the United
States, and slight increase in the ex
port of wooden fabrics.

Lynch Law Advocated,

Lynch law is upheld and sanction
ed by Southern newspaper, the En-
quirer Sun, published in Columbus,
Ga. A few days ago the following
opinion was formulated: "To save
words, we simply advocate lynching.
When positive proof is apparent,
hang the captive to the nearest per-
pendicular object. A good, able
bodied, healthy corpse, or q even a
slightly damaged one, dangling from
the limb of tree on a public high
way strikes more terror into the
heart of a criminal and creates more
respect for the fiat of justice than the
inside of thousand jails or the pres
ence of an army of judges and jury
men. There is an appalling grand
eur, horrifying sublimity in the
spectacle Of CHASTITY, half-deyoured
human form suspended in mid air."
The editor goes on to say: "Let the
trees bear human frnit, green and
in five years our State will not know
a criminal within its borders" The
New York Tribune remarks: "If he
succeeds in convincing his neighbors
of the soundness of his views on this
subject, an excellent place for a mob
to enter upon its recreation would be
the newspaper Office where such pes
tiferous nonsense is published"

Gcada's.

There are certain insects tLat re-
quire thirteen and others seventeen
years to pass from the egg to the
winged state. These are the cicada
often wrongly called locusts. 1t il
true that these periodical cicada pass
the entire time as worms in the bow
els of the earth, and then, becoming
endowed with the power of flight,
leave the earth. Two Of these broods
appeared together in 1868. There il
no difference between the seventeen
and thirteen year cicada other than
the time of maturing. In the present
year the seventeen year cicada will
probably appear along the center OF
this State, in Southern Iowa, and
around st. Joseph in Missouri; the
records Of their appearance are abun-
dant in Southern Iowa, and in Mason,
Fulton, McDonough, and Champaign
Counties in Illinois In the years 1874,
and again 10 1861, and they should
appear again the present season.-In.

On Sunday last, Rev. p. b. Morgan

On Sunday last, Rev. p. B. Morgan
rector of st. Johns Protestant EPis.
copal Church, Cincinnati, preached a
sermon bidding farewell to his con.
gregation, and, as the Gazette of that
city says, announcing his withdrawal
from Protestant Episcopal fellowship
for the purpose fjoining the Reform.
ed Episcopal communion:
His reasons are very plainly given
Protestant Episcopalians have to ex.
ercise a mental reservation or a forced
construction of words in the prayer
book, which have remained from the
Romish liturgy, which plainly affirms
the priestly Office of pardoning sins
baptismal regeneration, and Other
ROmish doctrines, which in fact are
rejected by the p. E. Church. But
while their consciences are subjected
to this strain, and they are constrain-
ed to affirm the prayer book as suffi.
cient for doctrine, the other side is
positive, aggressive and bold, and
goes on to develop these "Romish
germs' into the confessional as nee
essary part of the priestly pardon, in
to the doctrine of real presence in the
sacrament, the sacrifice of the mass,
and the Office of priest to intercede
generally for the living and the dead.
The disposition Of man to magnify
his own Office naturally draws the
ministers toward high priestly claims.
Both parties affirm the prayer book as
sufficient, and alike denounce any
proposition to reform it. But one
party is positive, and pushes the
Romish relics to their logical conclu-
sion, while the other party is neutral
lied. The inevitable tendency of the
situation is toward the highest priest
ly pretensions. Rarely is there heard
any Outspoken expression against
what is called ritualism-for want of a
more definite name. And when one
is made it is called the act of an agita-
tor-a disturber of the harmony OF
the church. The sO-called Evangeli.
cal party must either submit in 81.
lence to the continual aggressions OF
the High Church party, or must seek
relief to their cOnsciences by the
course which Mr.. Morgan has taken.
There will be plenty to cehsure him,
but their only way to dispose OF his
statements of the ROmish aggressiOns
is to say that these things are of no
consequence, and that church doctrine
is 4 thing which no fellow need con-
ce4n himself about.

About Chuyning.

An Iowa farmers wife writes to
the Rural World: 81 have had only
eight years. experience in the work
of butter making, but during that
time l have learned few essential
points. First your cows must be salt
ed two or three times week. Now
don't think this a mere whim, for
have observed when my cows were
not sailed but once in week or ten
days, the Cummings were slow to
come. Next your cows must be well
fed and watered; and if you have
two cows let one drop her calf in the
fall and the other in the spring. You
will find the calf will do just as well
if well cared for, that comes in the
fall as the spring calf. We have six
mich cows, and have MIXED five al
winter. Two of them dropped calves
in the fall and the rest will soon be
fresh mich cows. I have had ne
trouble this winter about churning.-
Some of our cows bring q calf every
year, and give good deal Of mill
eleven months out of the year. il
your cows are all farrows, that is thu
main difficulty about your churning.

DAN VOORHEES,, of Indiana, has
made, recently, a ranting speech in
the Senate, decrying against what he
denominates the tyranny of capital
against labor. Dan Voorhees, is moth
ing if not communistic rabble rous-
er. He never speaks upon this SUBJ
ject but he does it Unexpectedly and
for a purpose, a purpose to ingratiate
himself into the good graces of the
democracy of Indiana. The reason
for this recent speech was to hedge
back on his effort against the Pacific
railroad bill. He was a bitter oppo-
nent of the measure of passing the
bill forcing the Union Pacific compa-
ny to provide for the payment of its
Indebtedness to the government.
Democratic jurnals have been severe
upon some republican Senators for OPP
posing the Pacific Railroad bill, but
these journals failto say word against
the great greenback tooter Voorhees,
for siding with Jay Gould. Dan has
however, as we have said, found it
best to hedge on his Jay Gouldism,
and he lets fly one of his communist
lie har0nQueS.
