Iowa State Sabbath School Convention.

The Thirteenth Annual Convention
of the Sabbath School Association of
Iowa, will be held CD. W in the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, in the city of
Cedar Falls, commencing Tuesday, June
II, at 73O P. M. and closing Thursday
evening, June Ii. 1t is of the greatest
importance to the success of the Sab
bath School work in Iowa, that every
county in the State be represented by
three or more of its most faithful work
ers in this Convention. While it is to
be Mass Convention, and all Sabbath
School Workers are most earnestly and
cordially invited to attend: yet expert
ence has shown that in order to insure
representation, delegates must be
chosen and in some counties, remote
from the place Of holding the Conven-
ton, provision must be made for paying
part of their expenses. 1t is, therefore,
made the duty Of every organization in
terested in the study Of the Bible, to
take such measures as will insure to
them representation in this (great Ju
bilee Meeting. We want grand union
of hearts and hands in this glorious

zeal and courage from the most earnest
and Jealous, and a baptism of the Spirit
from on high, so that this Convention
shall send forth workers who will awak-
en- a deeper interest in the cause than
has ever before been felt in the State.
To this end we would earnestly recon-
mend that Sunday, June 8, be observed
throughout the State as a day of con-
ference and prayer; that Pastors pre-
sent its claims to their respective con-
gregations in the morning; that Superin-
tendents devote a due portion of the
hour of School in special prayer for d.
vine Blessing upon the approaching
Convention.
The people of Cedar Falls will receive
us with open hearts and doors. Those
expecting to attend will confer favor,
and save themselves annoyance, by send
ing their names to Caleb May, Cedar
Falls, by June 8, that places of enter
tainment may be reserved.

"A higher privilege than one here in
VOWED, and broadly and directly pre-
sented as to the rightful occupancy Of
the chief executive chair Of the govern
ment, and the connection of the high
government officers with the frauds al
legged, the Chair is unable to conceive.
The Chair finds enumerated among the
questions Of privilege set down in the
manual, the following: Election of
President. The Chair therefore rules
that the preamble and resolution en-
brace questions Of privilege of the
highest character, and recognizes the
right OF the gentleman from New York
to do the same"
Upon this the Republicans commence
ed struggle against the revolutionary
scheme, which, after five days duration
terminated III the success of the con
splrators. The Republicans offered to
favor the fullest investigation into all
the alleged frauds, by whichever party
charged to have been committed, but
the Democracy pursued it's course
shamclcssly and rclentlessly, and stiAed

ana, and murder and violence in sever

nor debate was allowed. The inexora-
bic previous question was applied and
enforced. The scheme, if pursued and
it is now fully maugurated, can only
have the effect Of further paralyzing
business OF all kinds, preventing the
restoration of confidence, which seemed
promising. casting gloom over every
household, and bringing our nation into
reproach before the civilized world
The peace Of the country is the first
consideration Of patriots. This new ef-
fort of the Democracy to inaugurate

by throwing doubts upon the legitimacy
Of the title of the President, is in keep

wing OF which rebclled against the gov
eminent, while the other wing gave

fore upon all who opposed the rebellion
in 1861, without distinction of party, to
rally again to the support OF law, order
and stable government, and overwhelm
with defeat the reckless agitators who,

ment they failed in four years war to
destroy. BY unanimous order Of Com

TT now turns out that Field, the
Doorkeeper of the Democratic House
of Representatives. is a Republican.
He was an officer under Lee, and sur
rendered with him. Aftwards he went
to Baltimore, and was merchant, and
in the campaign of 1868, took an active
part in support Of Grant and the Re-
publican ticket, not only voting but
making speeches for the Republican
cause. When he came back to Wash
ington from Egypt, where he took serv-
ice under the Khedive, he was appoint
cd solely on the recommendation of Re
publicans, Assistant Engineer under the
District Of Columbia government, and
from this position was elected Door
keeper. This revelation carries cha
grind to both political parties; to the
Democrats that they were deceived into
electing a Republican, and to the Re-
publicans, because Of the abuse some
of the party press have cast
upon Fields as Confederate Democrat.
In point Of fact it is asserted that Field
is the best Doorkeeper the House has
had for years.

The overcrowded condition Of the
Nit. Pleasant Insane Hospital, compels
the Superintendent to send some Of the
most violent cases, those for whom
treatment in the institution is hopeless
OF benefit, back to the counties from
whence they were received.
The Secretary Of State gives notice
that, according to the new law, only
county officers, justices Of the peace,
township clerks and mayors of cities
and towns, are entitled to copies of the
laws at the expense of the State. The
free list formerly included constables,
township trustees, city aldermen, and
other officials, besides newspaper pub
fishers.

Southern SOlidity.
VickSburg Herald. DENY

NichSDufg Herald. (Dcm.)
BY heavens, we are growing sick of
advice. If to treat us as equals and to
do right will injure the party, we are
beginning to imagine that the party is
too easily injured ever to be of any ben
eft to us. There are half dozen
States in the South that the least thing
will throw either way in 1880, especially
since President Hayes has tried to act
SO fairly towards us, and we beg to in
form the Northern Democrats that they
must not consider the South solid in
their service, no matter how badly they
treat us; The Southern people will do
a good deal of thinking for themselves
after Congress adjourns, and the citi-
zens Of some Of the Southern States
may possibly decide that the South Is
just the least bit too solid

THE Dubuque Times, in recent able
article upon the salaries Of Judges and
the method of the election, after point
ing out the abuses and inefficiencies
which belong to- the present system OF
nI>ager salaries and partisan selection,
comes to the sensible conclusion that
the only way to rectify these defects,
and to give dignity and weight to our
judicial system, is to appoint Judges to
serve for life, or during good behavior,
and then pay such salaries as will induce
men of brains and legal ability to accept
the position, not, as now, temporarily,
and at the sacrifice of their own inter
csts, but permanently. This is the opin-
ion we long have held, and we are glad
to see it agitated by so influential a pa
per as the Times.

Address OF the Republican Congressional
Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Ihe Repub-
lican Congressional committee has is
sued the following address:
To the Voters ofMe United States:
The Democratic House of Represcn-
tativcs has to-day, by party vote,
adopted resolution which, under the
pretense of an investigation, is to lay
the foundation for the revolutionary ex-
pulsion of the President from office.
This is the elimination of plot which
has been on foot from the day that
Hayes and Wheeler were constitution
ally declared elected. 1t made its first
public appearance in resolution OF the
last Democratic House, adopted at the
close of the session, declaring that Til
den and Hendricks were elected Til
den and Hendricks subsequently made
similar public declarations themselves.
A few timid members have long held
back, and some of them, after being Co
creed to final vote, still pretend that
they will halt as aeon as their partial
and one-sided investigation shall be end
ed. In other words, they intend, after
hearing suborned evidence, to bring in
verdict that Hayes is a usurper, and
that he shall not remain in Office.
These men have no control in the Dem
ocratic party. They dared not even
follow Alexander I'll. Stephens in unit
against caucus dictation to the extent
Of showing some semblance of fair play.
They will be impotent in the future, as
they have been in the past. Moreover,
it is difficult to believe in their sinceri
ty, in view Of the public avowal Of their
party that it's purpose is, if possible, to
displace the President. 1t is matter
of history that the resolution just
adopted was framed to express this OBJ
ject. The Speaker Of the House was
consulted as to whether he would rule
that it was privileged question. The
party managers were anxious to CON
ceal their purposes if possible. In this
they were defeated by the Speaker, who
would not rule it a question Of privilege,
unless it clearly assailed the title of the
President. The resolution being offer
3D. he read carefully prepared opinion
deciding it to be question Of the high
est privilege, because it involved the
question Of the validity Of Hayes title.
Here are his very words:
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1878-05-24

THE Davenport Democrat, one of the
most able and consistent Democratic
papers in the State, is strongly opposed
to having it's party join its fortunes
with those of the National party, and
expresses the sentiment of every man
who respects honor and consistency and
principle 1t hopes that any such COM
bination, whether Republican or Demo-
cratic, will meet with crushing defeat.
1t justly condemns the principles OF the
new party as the cry of the fanatical
socialist put into a political platform,
and says that if eyer our republic is de-
stroyed, it will be in consequence of
men Of intelligence trucking, for the
sake Of influence, to the wishes of an
unprincipled mob.

WE have been favored with few
numbers of the National(e) organ at
Des Moines, The People. 1t does not
require anything but glance at its col
umns to discern that it is in the hands
of an utterly INSCRIPTIONS demagogue,
who is willing to go any length and use
any consideration, however dishonest or
illegitimate, to accomplish a political
purpose. So far as we can discover, it
makes no attempt at candid discussion
of policies and principles, but devotes
its columns to attempts to arouse class
antagonisms, and to misrepresentation
and abuse of those who do not favor its
plan of arraying labor against capital.
The People is an organ of mischief.
