would have been right and proper for
the Government to provide for him after
ne had manfully stood by the truth at
the peril of his life and at the sacrifice
of his home and his property. But he
was not such a man. Had Sherman
placed himself in Anderson's power by
any corrupt agreement, there is no doubt
that the former would have found a
place for the latter in order to silence
him. But there was no such necessity.
Anderson deserved no reward as an hon
est, conscientious man, suffering for
truths sake, and he could mot command
a reward, as one pal forces another to
yield, because nobody was in his power.
He had played double game and lost;
he had fallen between two stools. He
now comes before the public as a self
impeached witness with a story not sus-
tanned by the documents he produces,
and absolutely contradicted by all the
facts and circumstances Of the case.

The Potter committee on Saturday
last opened their investigation of the
alleged frauds pertaining to the Presi-
Dental election in Louisiana and Flori-
da, by the examination of Jas. E. An
derson, Supervisor of Registration in
the parish of East Feliciana, La. An
derson has been announced as the
trump-card of the Tilden crowd, upon
whose testimony they rely mainly for
evidence that will secure the impeach-
ment of the President and Secretary
Sherman. He has testified, and the only
clear result of his story is to establish
the fact, from his own lips, that he is a
forger, perjurer and scoundrel gen.
orally. 1t is evident, from his own sto-
ry, that he has entered into corrupt
conspiracy with the Democrats. 1t
needs no other proof than his own adj
missions to show that Anderson so man
aged matters in his parish that not a
single Republican vote was cast therein
though the honest Republican majority
was over 1000. Then, when he had re-
turned to New Orleans, and found him
self face to face with the stupendous
rascality perpetrated under his supervi-
sion, he weakened on the Democrats
and put in protest against it, certify
ing to the Returning Board that the
election was not fairly conducted. He
then began to importune the Admins
tration and Republicans in high places
for lucrative Office as pay for his
treachery. He has latterly accompanied
these opportunities with threats of what
he would do if his demands were not
satisfied. The administration, having
ascertained his true character and still
ignoring his demands, he has unloaded
his tale of rascality and fraud to the
Potter committee, undoubtedly under a
promise of reward from the Golfers of
Sam Tilden. He produces an alleged
copy Of letter from Secretary Sher-
man, which the latter on his oath pro-
nounces a forgery. He makes other
statements which parties knowing to
the facts pronounce false. When COM
pared with the testimony sworn to by
him before the Investigating Committee
at New Orleans, which is inconsistent
with that given before the Potter COM
mittee, he is compelled, in order to give
credence to the latter, to declare, virtu-
ally, that he perjured himself on the
former occasion. His whole bearing is
that of an INSCRIPTIONS adventurer,
who went in to make pile out of the
Louisiana business, and failing to get
his pay for what was, by his own admis-
sion, dishonest knavery, from one party,
sells his bundle of perjury and forgery
to the opposite party. The Democratic
investigating committee that visited
New Orleans last year, three members
of which are now on the Potter commit
tee, declared Anderson man who
could not be believed under oath" "a
trickster in whom no confidence can be
placed" We refer our readers to a
searching analysis of his evidence in an
other column, taken from the Chicago
Tribune.

A SECOND attempt was made to ass
assinate the Emperor of Germany last
Sunday. AS he was passing through
the street Inter der Linden, in Berlin,
in his carriage, he was fired upon from
house, some thirty buckshot and small
shot entering his arm and face. The
perpetrator of the outrage was one DR..
Modelling, who is supposed to be the in
strument of a Socialistic conspiracy to
kill the Emperor. When his door was
forced open he fought desperately,
wounding his host, and afterwards
shooting himself in the head, inAicting
wound from which he will die The
condition of the Emperor is critical
The occurrence is regarded as the out
cropping of widespread Socialistic
conspiracy embracing a large part of
Europe and having for it's object the
destruction of monarchy and the estab-
lishment of universal Communistic
republic.

BRICK PoMERoY is one Of the leading
spirits of the Greenback party, and is
said to be amassing fortune out OF his
newspaper advocacy of it. The men
composing that organization, for the
most part, are best pleased with vehe-
ment assertion and reckless appeals to
their passions and prejudices, rather
than efforts to convince their judgment.
Therefore, Pomeroy is just the man to
suit them, and he is accordingly reaping
u harvest Of gain from his desperate and
INSCRIPTIONS demagoguism and revolu-
tionary utterances, just as he piled up
wealth at Lacrosse by conspicuous and
most virulent apprehension. He brings
to his present work the same reckless
and incendiary methods that distin-
guished his former advocacy Of treason.
In illustration of this, we append the
following, one of his latest specimens of
froth:
II
hold the bonds obtained them by taking in and
buyninQ the gree1lbdcks or as they term it, retire
them + AS the greenbacks were burned
and used as base for bonds. now let the bonds
be burned and used as base or bottom for
greenbacls money, the MONEY! OF THE PEG
PIE that shall be as sacred, as lasting, as eter-
nal as the government itself. No more paying
even one farthing of interest by our United
States Government. Young men of
the West, and South, clean these Eastern
pirates out of their homes and the property
n. n%oloy mi or n "a n
clubs, with bayonets in reserve" etc., etc
IF the utterances Of an honest yet
misguided man, the above would be con-
temptible. How much more so from
the pen of vile and INSCRIPTIONS dem
agogue, who calls up the worst passions
of human nature only to enrich himself
thereby. Yet many of our Greenback
friends roll as sweet morsels under their
tongues the incendiary words OF this
mercenary scoundrel.

JOHN IRISH says in his paper that
the Democratic party of Iowa never
felt itself so erect and strong as now.
However this may be, the Democratic
party in this State never made more
palpable confession of weakness than it
has this year in the character of its
nominations for State officers. 1t could
not have more explicitly proclaimed its
expectation of defeat if it had put the
confession in plain language in the plat
form

THE Elkader .IOuyn0Z. on the autho

The Elkader Journal, on the author
ity of Hon. Alex. BLEEDING himself, ex-
plains that gentlemans position in the
Congressional contest. He is pledged
to help Mr.. Updegraff so long as he is a
candidate. When Mr. Updegraff retires
out of the race, Mr.. BLEEDING will ask
the Republicans of Clayton county to
present his own name to the convention
and if nominated he will try to be elect
ed. The Journal has no doubt that
one event will be followed by the other.
1t gives Mr.. BLEEDING most excellent
endorsement of character and ability.

THE Hamilton Freeman says that
many Republicans of that county who
have been led off into the third party,
are getting their eyes open, and have dis
covered that every effort to disrupt the
Republican party is but scheme to
strengthen the corrupt Democracy.
There is enough in the latest move by
that party, whereby it is paving the
way toward the seizure of power,
through revolutionary methods, to make
every honest Republican who has cast
his lot with the third party to pause
and consider whether he cannot better
subserve the peace and prosperity of
the country and the cause of good gov
eminent by fighting under the old ban
ner, against the party that would Mexi-
canize our institutions, than to waste his
energies in following after abstract the
cries of finance, and striving against re-
suits that are logically inevitable

The papers of the Fourth District

The papers of the Fourth District
are agitating the question of organizing
a district press association similar to
our Third District Association, IF pro-
jected on the same plan of making it's
primary feature practical business per-
tanning to the profession, with pleasure
seeking and junketing as secondary con
considerations, our brethren of the
Fourth District can not only make their
association permanent, but they will
find it growing in profit, interest and
pleasure at each meeting.

The State Register does not miss ma
ny opportunities to pour out upon the
Chicago Tribune it's walls of sarcasm and
denunciation, but it is pretty apt to fur
nish, further down in the same column,
evidence of relenting disposition, in
the shape of an editorial article stolen
bodily from the Tribune's columns.
Such exhibitions of the conciliatory
shirt are really touching.

for the August meeting of the Third

1t is difficult to conceive the re
morseless contraction" that has taken
place, and it is hard to believe, even up
on the assertion of the Iowa "Greasers,'
that an actual expansion of q millions
of currency since 1865 can be such a
contraction as to have destroyed erery
enterprise which gives employment to
labor" If the Republicans of Iowa
were not peaceable, patient, forgiving,
Christian people, they would probably
be provoked into rotten-egging the au-
thors of those lying and malicious
charges.

HERE is Abraham Lincoln's idea of
wise financial policy. If he were now
living, and should express such opin-
ions, he would be denounced by the
newly -fedged fnanciers of the Green

Fluctuations in the value of currency are
always injurious, and to reduce these tiuctua-
lions to the lowest possible point will always
be leading purpose in wise legislation Con

surest safeguard against them.

Geo P. Rowell, whose recent circular head
ed 'The cost of advertising In American news
papers is too high has brought him once
more before the public, and discreditably, as
usual, offers to insert one-inch advertisement
one time in select list of twenty or thirty
weeklies, for 500. and adds as an inducement,
that he will insert it in One Thousand Patent

the estimate placed by Mr.. Rowell upon the

Using, and must be pleasant reading for their
publishers. Manchester Press.
It should be stated, however, in posi-
BILE mitigation Of Rowells contemptuous

that he is an INSCRIPTIONS knave, and
that he is capable of making the offer
quoted out of purely malicious and re-
vengeful motives.

HILLsBOBo, Texas, May 81, 10.

On the goth inst, at 1890 A. NJ, the
train for Denver pulled out of the un-
ion depot at Kansas city. We passed
through the stock yards, and across the
Kansas River, and into the heavy tim
Der skirting the river at this point.
About half mile from the river we
stopped at Armstrong. where the K. u
p. has it's machine shops. Thence we
went west. The country from Arm
strong to Lawrence is bluffy and tim
bered. There are some few farms OPP
ened up in the timber on the banks of
the Kansas, and back of these we could
see the rocky faces Of the bluffs as we
passed. Lawrence and the country sur

tracks are covered with sheds, iron roof
ed, and but little higher than the roof of
the cars, and below the smoke stacks of
the engines, and then collateral sheds
leading across the tracks to the building.
This enables passengers to step from
the cars onto a good sheltered walk
where neither the sun or rain can touch
them, and pass from there to the main
building or to the omnibus stand or to
another train, without being exposed to
either sun or storm, and yet all the
smoke from the engines is above the
sheds, and that nuisance is avoided.
We called on Mr.. and Mrs. Bullene
on Sunday the 10Th inst, and found
them and their family cOntented with
their situation and business and future
prospects Mrs Bullene introduced us
to their daughter, miss of 7 summers,
who was as lively and active as such
people generally are. She remarked
that they had four sons, three Of whom
are at work in the store of the firm here,
and one is at Fairibault, MINI.
The Kansas & Pacific r. r. Co., are
making great efforts to sell their lands
to actual settlers. Their agent here, A.
Rordelheimer offered to sell us tickets
that would take us west 300 miles and
elevate us 1900 feet, and bring us back
and allow us As days to look around in,

each invested an X in the enterprise.
What we saw, and how we liked it, we
will tell you in our next.

asks federal protection against attacks

rioters may come from, the federal govern
ment has no right to interfere to preserve
the peace in the provinces. He tells the
mayor that the law officers of the provincial

is illegal, that does not relieve the city au-
thorities from protecting Orangemeu in
