THERE has evidently been a deter
minatiOn on the part of some repub-
licans within this district to put for
ward the Hon. M. +. Cults for Con-
gress. We observed strong evidences
of this without the district some days
ago. We are not advised of the
strength of this movement. The
time is now short before the sitting OF
the convention and we are of the
opinion that the will of the republic
ans of the Sixth district has been
plainly in favor of the renomina-
ton of Judge Sampson. 1t is very
evident however, that there is strong
newspaper influence outside the dis
trict working for the defeat of the
Judge. We may say, we think with
out any disparagement of the ability
and popularity of any of the other
candidates, that it is our candid judg-
ment that the Hon. Il. S. Sampson is
the strongest man and will poll more
votes than any other gentleman NAM
ed. If he is defeated it is our opinion
it will come largely from influences
brought to bear from without the dis
trict. This is not pleasant feature
of the case, and we regret to see it.
The Judge has been attending most
faithfully to his duties in Congress
while this attempt. for his defeat has
been concocted, and has been thus at
a disadvantage. 1t is our decided
conviction that Judge Sampson is by
far the ablest man i'm the district to
present the financial question to the
people that we know of. He has
made it more than anything else a
study, and his investigations have
been made upon the ground where
the fullest knowledge is to be obtained.
The Judge is an eminently candid,
honest man, and the people of this
district know it and respect him ac-
cordingly. He is, therefore a very
strong man before the people and it is
our opinion that he will go before the
people Of the district five hundred
votes stronger than any other man
we can nominate. Holding these
views we strongly urge his nominal
ton. We believe he will be nominal
ted on the first ballot.

SAID Wendell Philips, at the late
Good Templars' meeting in Boston,
eff the Union lasts, it is the colored
race that will save it. If the Union is
ruptured in the next half century, the
world will look back with incredulity
on the almost incredible folly that,
alike in social life and in party and
civil affairs, sacrificed at the bidding
of Northern prejudice the only and
inalienable ally that God had given
us for the salvation of one flag over
these forty States"

A Elv in the GRAVY.

Mrs. Jennie Miller, of Burkville,
Va. is woman of great spirit and
nerve. Her neighbors even cay she
has a high temper, which made
storms in Miller's house. She had
been married to Anderson Miller
about two years, and during this time
her husband had been trying to still
the storms with calm kindness. He
seldom talked back and never got
angry, and this engelic disposition
irritated the high-spirited woman
dreadiully 1t made woman's favor
lite weapon of no use to her. Hers
was SO sharp, too, it was pity. The
other morning the two sat at break
fast together. They had guest in
the house, but he had not yet come
down stairs. Miller r,ildly remark
ed, "Wife, here's fly in the gravy"
Mrs. Miller screamed, "That's the
way with you; you are all the time
finding fault" Miller, melodiously
"Oh no; l just happened to see fly
and | thought would tell YOU
Mrs. Miller, rising majestically !:
"You're liar, liar, liar" and her
spunk rose with every repetition of
the sharp little word. She bounced
and waltzed around and upset things
generally, while the mild hammered
Miller ate his bread and gravy around
the fly. AT length he told her she had
better step out and cool off. She
bounced out, seized an axe aud came
back and knocked Miller on the head
while he still sat at the table busy
with his bread and gravy, thankful
for his food, his flies and other house.

Ter tried to get up but the high spir-
tied woman gave him another and

to the floor and was no more. To
make very sure thing of it, Mrs.
Miller chopped off Millef's head, and

one hand, held up the discovered reek-
ing head of her husband by the hair

influences of lock and key, where

We find the following two state
ments i'm the Herald of yesterday:
ave look in vain for any denuncia-
ton of Craig's 500, 900 steal, just laid
before the people,"
"The Republican State Convention
took no notice of the 100000 Craig
steal"
Both of these statements are untrue
and must have been known to be false
when uttered. The last resolution of
the platform has direct reference to
the Craig defalcation, and was pre-
pared in Lee county before the con-
vention and submitted to the State
Convention in morning session for in
corporation into the platform by Col.
Leighton, of Craig's county. The i'm
preston sought to be conveyed by
the Herald that republicans do not
denounce their Wrong-doers, is a little
too contemplate 'fOr anything."-

Yes, and Mr.. Craig, who sought by
the obtaining of proxy to sit in the
convention, was invited to step out
and he did it. More than this, his
Deputy and his clerk were politely
informed that their presence was not
appropos i'm the convention and they
very readily acceded to the sugges-
ton.

The State Register Dies Hard.

The Hon. Z. III. Stiles. of Ottumws,
after enduring for . long time most
patiently the Jesuitical stabs and
threats of the Ottumwa COURIER, has
finally written to that paper asking
it to quit playing the bully, and to
cease dealing in innuendoes, and to
come out and say what it has to say
with courage if not with decency.
The letter is fine example of how q
man who is always gentleman can
worst and overthrow man who il
not always gentleman. The CoUR.
Ter writhes under the chastisement
at once SO gentlelnanly and yet so &C.
we're, and takes up over q column il

Stiles brief but puncturing little note
In the course of the awkward strug
i gle to parry, the COURIER has the fol
lowing statement:

course Congressionally, by our desire to go t

can explain what we are to understand by hi
having had hand in the CouRIsR- Register con
troversy. We shall refrain from adding nor
now on this point
| If you have nothing to add to that
we have. The innuendo of the par
agraph, to the effect that Mr.. Stile
himself inspired our exposure of tn
COURIER and its editor, is utterly an(
wholly and probably consciousl,
false. We got nothing from MI
Stiles by way of information, sugges
ton or intimation. and he knew moth
ing more about the article before
hand, or our opinion concerning il
than the COURIER did itself-and
was fully as unexpected to him, n,
doubt, as it was to it. That paper ha
done Mr. Stiles injustice enough al
ready without saying by innuendt
that he has asked any paper to attacl
the COURIER in his interest. We sup
pose it is impossible for the COURIER
with its selfish ideas of things, to com
prehend that a gentleman, with tn
personal popularity and high reputa
ton that Mr.. Stiles has in the State a
large, is considered by the State to b.
worthy of fair dealing. No man il
Iowa has fairer name than MI
Stiles, and few of our public moi
have so many personal friends. ANT
it was the spectacle of SO good an,
strong man being continually ant
most meanly misrspresented by tn
COURIER that led us to speak out il
