Iowa Republican Quarrels.

The gubernatorial fight in lowa is warming up early, and Lieutenant Governor Hull, who is one of the candidates for Governor, has lost his temper and gone into the letter-writing business. He has published an epistle claiming that the assertion that 116 offered to manipulate the Senate committees of the last Legislature, of which he had the appointment as President of the Senate, in the interest of Eastern insurance companies, to be a brazen falsehood, and charges ex-Gov-ernor Sherman with being the author of the report. Hull appears to be virtuously indignant. In spite of his protests, the evidence to convict him is said to be in existence, and should he succeed in hoodwinking the convention so far as to nominate him it will be produced. Ex-Governor Sherman has a rod in pickle for him, and swears that if Hull is nominated he will take the stump against him, and fire off his ammunition, of which he has a good supply. Old sores will be reopened, the famous case of ex-Auditor Brown will figure in the contest, and many other interesting events will be paraded before the public. This, in connection with the promised battle between Allison and Larrabee for the Senatorial seat, will bring lowa into prominence as a battle-field in the fall campaign. —Dubuque dispatch to the Chicago Herald.
