AtMnsc,,ine. Iown. Lnd,

At Musca,ine, Iowa, Judge Hayes, of
the Seventh Iowa Judicial District, has
rendered an important decision as to the
jurisd ction of Justices of the Peace
under the new Iowa prohibition liquor
law. The Judge holds that Justices
have no jurisdiction to try, deter NINE
or pass judgment upon cases nnfer th's
law other than to hold preliminary
trial and bind defendants over to n
District Court. The decision is based
upon the opinion that the penalties OF
the new law exceed the jurisdiction of
Justices. By this decision all liquor
cases commenced here under the new
law are dismissed. The question is one
of great importance and WILDE appealed
to the Supreme Court.

political campaign from 1860 to 1876. Since the
Senator's DEATH General Grant has said that
but for his ill-health, he should have appointed
him Chief Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. That Senator Morton, partially para

during nearly ten years the position of recog-
nized leader of the Senate and the greatest po-

of his wonderful energy and will power.

AS solid as thy granite standing place
Stood thou in life when traitors round thee pressed
And to their beating back thy might addressed
With force more than that of sweeping mace
Swung on the battlefield by llnightly race
Look south for aye, 0, hero of the West!
Would not thy trumpet tones of old be heard
szShould wars red fire of fierce consuming heat
But flush thy lips with light, and they be stirred
To speaking life as when thy bold heart beat.
And as a bugle-peal thine every word
And Memnons miracle thy mouth repeatl

The mufied heart of freedom like lenell,
Throbs solemnly for one whose earthly will
Wrot every mission
Whose glowing reason lowered above the
Of dark disaster like "a beacon-light
And led the ship of state, unscathed and free.
Out of the CULTS of night
When treason, rabidmouthed and fanged with Steel
Lay growing DER the bones of fallen braves;
And when beneath the tyrant's iron heel l.
Were ground the hearts of slaves;
And war, with all his train of horrors, leapt
Across the fortress walls of liberty
With havoc cen the marble goddess wept
With tears of blood to
Thro'out it all his brave and kngly mind
Kept loyal vigil DER the patriots vow,
And yet the flag he lifted to the wind
Is dropping o'er him now,
And peace-al pallid from the battlefield
When first again it lowered Ter the land
And found his voice above it like a shield,
Had nestled in his hand.

How empty are ye and what silence falls

who can should be sure to go. Aside
from the fact that the proceeds are to be

compensate for the expense, and the OPP
portunity of carrying the good wife and

too good to be lost There will be no
rowdyism allowed, and ladies will not be
compelled to listen to the profanity and
vulgarity too often INDUCED in on picnic

the walks delightful, and the scenery all
that could be wished. Let all prepare

The citizens at Hawthorn, by private
subscription, recently had constructed a
plank walk leading from one depot to the
other for their own use. The negroes,
living in the vicinity, after trying, con-
cluded it afforded more pleasant walk
than pulling through the sand, and at the
same time concluded that they would ap-
propriate the walk for their own special
benefit to the exclusion of the white peo-
pie who had paid to have it made: and to
this end they commenced to crowd the
white people off into the sand, until one
day last week when, we learn, two burly
negroes pushed two young ladies out of
their way. The exploit was witnessed
by two young white men who promptly
went to the rescue of the ladies and used
their heavy canes in a manner that would
do the most good over the insolent ne
groes heads. The negroes of the COM
munity, who are said to be exceedingly
insolent, became very much incensed at
this, and made numerous and dire threats
against the white people in general and
the young men who did the whipping in
particular: and yesterday morning some
twenty-five or thirty negroes, with guns
and other instruments of war, assembled
in the town, and were so loud and insolent
in their threats that riot was seriously
apprehended. A telegram was received
in this city yesterday morning asking if
Palatka could render any assistance in
case there should be any trouble A later
telegram announced that the negroes had
dispersed, but the citizens were apprehen-
sive lest they should return and serious
trouble might follow,
