OHIO AND IOWA.

The Republican victory in Ohio
last week is even more sweeping
than was at first supposed. Fosters
majority is something over 10000
and in the Legislature the Republic
ans have majority Of thirty three
on joint ballot-seven in the Senate
and twenty six in the House. As the
Legislature just elected chooses
United States Senator next winter
to succeed Mr.. Thurman, this as.
sures a Republican successor and
disposes Of that Democratic states
man for the remainder Of his days.
Iowa has rolled up her old-time
majority for the Republican can
didate, many of the Republican
Green hackers having returned to
their first love. The Legislature is
almost unanimously Repu blican.
Thompson, the Republican candi-
date for Congress in the Fifth dis.
trict, carried every county in the
district and is elected by over 5000
majority. October was good month
for Republican victories, but it is
predicted that November will do
equally as well.

Grant for President.

The Republican papers all over the
country are one after another swing
ing into the Grant column, admit
ting that he is the strongest man
the Republican party can nominate
for President in 1880. The St.
Louis Globe Democrat, Chicago In
ter Ocean and hundreds of country
weeklies are warm advocates of the
Generals claims, while very many
others agree that if he desires the
nomination, he can have it without
opposition upon signifying his
wishes. The shotgun policy of the
south; the course pursued in the ex-
ira session of Congress by the Rebel
Brigadiers, and.the obnoxious States
rights doctrins still held by them,
has aroused the people of the north
to full sense of the danger which
again threatens oul glorious Union,
and there are thousands upon thous-
ands Of Republicans who believe
that the emergency calls for strong
government, such as Gen. Grant can
give us. While the unprecedented
demonstration in his honor in Cali.
fornia and Oregon were not Of a po-
litical nature, and were shared in
alike by members of all political par.
ties, it must have convinced the
most skeptical that Gen. Grant has
the hearts of the people, and that
his services to his country are CRATE
fully remembered. The splendid
Republican victory in Ohio last
week is already interpreted as a Grant
boom, and the St. Louis Globe Dem.
ocrat says it means majority Of
10000 for Grant next year So mote
It be.

Tax Titles.

Red Wing Argus.
Tax titles are proverbially worth
less. The machinery set IN motion
by the legislature is usually so cum
bersome, and is geared so badly, that
the work turned out seldom passes
safely through a judicial examina-
ton, whether inspected by 'stwelve
men good and true, a district Judge,
or by that more august body, the
court Of final resort. Each succeed
ing Legislature either constructs an
entirely new tax, gathering machine,
or endeavors to tinker up the old
one, and the result is the same in
either event, the work is rejected.
Our last ''iron clad'' tax law was
thought to be a marvel of strength
and safety, and now, by resent Su.
preme Court decisions, the tail of
the law has been severed close up to
The head, and the quivering remaius
are hardly Of sufficient value to mer-
it a decent burial.
Two decisions have recently been
made by the Supreme Court of Min.
nesota wherein the validity Of tax
sales was contested, resulting as us
ual against the method employed in
executing the law. In the case of
lidd, ct ais, VS.. Rhines, ct als., a
tax title, based upon tax judg.
ment, was held to be absolutely void !;
and the same rule applied to other
tax sales would doubtless sesult in
the same way in nearly every in
stance.
The following extract from the
decision in the case above referred
to covers one point wherein many
tax sales are alike detectives:
1t is adjudged and decreed that each piece or par
eel of land hereinafter desccibed is liable for taxes
