The Davenport Gazette treats light
ly the brides of q German editor in
Ottumwa by Judge Samspson, or his
friends. Keokuk Constitution.
Much more lightly than that base
democratic libel on Judge Sampson
really merited. The emphatic denial
of the whole story since made by the
German editor in question ought,
however, to make the Constitution
ashamed Of itself for once abiding to
the topic without coupling Herewith
an apology to the conscientious and
able member of Congress from the
Sixth district. Davenport Gazette.
It Is indeed singular that there are
those who will seek to give credence
to this story before the public. We
have not heretofore deemed 1t worthy
Of any word from us In contradiction.
II may be, however, that we ought to
say here, that Judge Sampson had no
iEtimation or knowledge that the
Journal, Germany, published in this
city, would put up his name before it
was done. His first knowledge was
obtained from the paper itself, rum
ming up hts name and declaring for
him; that neither he nor anybody
else, 80 far as he knows or can ascer-
tain, ever promised to give or ever
did give the Journal farthing for its
support of him.
Mr.. Danquard, the editor of that
paper, stated the fact when he said
neither Judge Sampson nor anybody
else paid him q cent to support Judge
Sampson, but that he did 1t purely as
a. matter Of principle. The story
n 80 utterly incredible here that it is
unworthy Of seriously considering.

THE following circular Just issued
by the Commissioner of Pensions
should be generally published by the
press as warning to pensioners
most worthy class -against swindlers:
Some officers who have ofiiciated in
the execution of pension vouchers, in
various localities throughout the
country through carelessness, and 9TH
ers from interested motive, have sane
toned the execution of vouchers Civ
ing a false addres for the true and
proper pOst-office address of the pen
sioner-whereby the agents for pay
ing pensions have been misled in
mailing the pension checks, many of
which have each quarter, fallen by
this means into the hands Of brokers,
scalpers and Others, who have extort-
ed from the pensioner a portion of his
pension for pretending to aid him in
procuring his check to be cashed, or
upon some other equally grOundless
pretext, or for usuriOus leans. Meta
res, magistrates and other officers
who Otficiate in the execution of PEN
sion vouchers are requested to take
care that the address Of the pensioner
written in his voucher shall be his
true, proper and usual address, and
not the address of another person. Ii
any officer shall knowingly fail to
comply with the foregoing request, an
order will be issued refusing to recog-
nize his official acts in this Bureau
and in the pension agencies.

SO enable them to make a virtual slave
pen of the South, as of old. The
democratic party ut this time, rs fol-
years past, has been the foundation
ofall our troubles with the South.
There would have been no rebellion
but for Northern democratic counte-
nance and support; when once inau-
gurated the war would have ended
years before it did but for the aid and
sympathy received from the present
democratic party; billions of our pub
public debt would not have been con.
tracted and hundreds of thousands OF
lives would have been saved; but for
this Northern democratic aid; it was
the divided front in the North that
made the great war of the rebellion
possible, and to-day it is the action O,
theame democraticparty supplement.
ted by few extremely conservative
men of other parties, that has given
form and life TO the political frauds
and murders and the disfranchisemen,

We hope This unity will come soon

to stay any vital success of the enemy,

THE New York Tribune jokes Bill
Pelton, Of clpher-dispatch notoriety,
in this unfeeling manner:
Col. William Tilden Pelton has
wisely discontinued his practice of
spreading the middle section of his
name in full upon his cards. Col.
Pelton's middle name has been in
times past an extremely useful and
ornamental portion of his signature,
but never again will the Tilden part
of Col. Pelton's name invest him with
any additional dignity or repute by
reflection. On the contrary, Col. Pei
toms middle name will be liable to do
him sad disservice so long as he wears
1t. For it will continually remind
him and remind other people of GER
tain transactions in the year of grace
1876 which Col. William Tilden Pei
ton and Col. William Tilden Pelton's
uncle would be pleased to have forgot
ten. For these reasons we hold that
Col. Pelton exercises sound Judgment
and discretion when he withholds as
much of his middle name as possible
from the broad sunlight of publicity.
A small and unObtrusive T. is every
way preferable to the complete Tilden,
whether In print or in the bold litera-
ry bureau hand which Col. Pelton
used to swing when he affixed his sig
nature to kilograms and things in the
day Of his authority.

KEoKuK and Burlington are repre-
sented in force at Washington. d. c.,
to renew the fight over the location
of the District Court. A bill chang
Ing the court from Keokuk to Bur-
nngton, passed the Senate at the last
session, but there was no action upon
1t in the House. If this court Is to
be changed at all, Ottumwa is the
place for 1t, and when Burlington and
Keokuk get done quarreling over it,
we will come In and gobble the prize
and not half try. If our sister cities
would pay little more attention to
their substantial commercial in
terests and not be wrestling over po-
litical favors, they would begin to
show some evidences of prosperity.
The true way is for a people to be in
dependent, the architects of their own
fortunes and so stand on their own
basis, rather than be cat-hauling
after Uncle Sans crumbs.

At noon, Speaker Randall raped

Two new members, Bailey, Of New

COMMISSIONER RAUM, In his report,
gives to the public some mostinstruc-
tive and interesting reading. During
the year past five revenue officers
have been killed In the South and
thirteen wounded. The Commission
er concludes that part Of the report
pertaining to these outrages thus:
As to the general disposition mani
tested by the people In q large section
In the South toward the officers Of the
Government, the Commissioner says
they have been treated as If they
were emissaries Of q foreign and hos
tile nation, sent to impose and collect
tribute.
The Commissioner feels bound to
say that it Is not only the robbers and
outlaws who resist and attack the
Federal officers, but that those who
claim to be among the best citizens
sometimes take part In the resistance,
and constantly extend sympathy.
This support has even manifested it
self among Judges in State courts,
The killing of revenue officers or
Deputy Marshals exoites little atten-
ton, and seldom stirs the State off,
Gers to action. The murderers 90 free
from arrest, and are openly shielded
by the State authorities. On the con.
trary, II the revenue officers at
tackled when In the discharge of their
duty, defend themselves effectually,
and kill any of their armed assailants,
whole counties rise against the off,
GERS, and the entire machinery of the
State Government Is employed to
punish the officers. As an instance to
illustrate this matter, General Raum
cites the killing of Deputy Marshal
6priggs In North Carolina by the not
I'd desperate Redmond, which caused
No ripple on the surface Of society,
and contrasts this with the fact that
the whole State of South Carolina
WAS aroused and excited over the kill
ing by revenue officers Of man who
was trying to shoot them while in the
discharge Of their duty.
Thus are committed under the flag
Of the nation, crimes which go UNI
punished, stigmatizing with disgrace,
the American name and making a
m0ckery of our government.
Why this is so Is not because of the
Southern:people alone inlfact If they
were not sympathized with and de-
Tended outside of the South, these
outrages would not exist but would
soon be largely discontinued by the
action Of the Southern people. The
reason why they are continued and
brazenly upheld In the South Is be-
cause the democratic party. in the
North countenance them. Not dem
ocratic paper anywhere condemns
them in plain terms--net one. but
what, to a greater or less extent, de-
rides all reports OF these wrongs as
the product Of "a republican outrage
mill" These outrages viii nevercease
80 long as they are sustained by the
democratic party North as they are
1t Is from this source that they gather
courage 1t is from this source that
they expect relief by getting posses
sion of the national government, and
