will be a candidate before the coming Ue-

to the position of Attorney General on our State ticket. Col. Trusler ia so well and favorably known hero that we have no "hesitation in pledging him a most hearty support from Franklin County in the Con- " vention. He will make a most excellent

The Iowa Legislature is in trouble about
the 15th Amendment. It seems the Sen
ate passed a resolution, and the House then passed one of its own, instead of the Senate bill, and now the Senate, feeling
its dignity insulted, refuses to pass the House resolution. This is only a short delay, and not defeat. Twenty seven States have now ratified the Amendment, the ratifications by Ohio and Iowa being completed on Thursday. The assent of one more State only is needed to make the Amendment a part of the
fundamental law of the land. Nebraska,
Texas and Georgia will contest for the honor of securing that adoption. Mr. Hurlbutt, the World's correspondent in Rome, says: "All the most intel

I Fisk and Gould were before the Gold ! Investigating Committee of Congress, on
Satarday. Gould was careful and reticent
in giving to his testimony, but t isk was garrulous and wandering. Gould, in reply
to a question, said he knew of nothing connecting the President or his family
with the conspiracy. Fisk's testimony was materially the same as the statements
he published some time ago. The two claim that they had a theory that the
wheat coming from the West over their road ought to go to Europe, and would not go unless gold was put up. Fish was absurdly ridiculous inhis testimony, using the most bombastic and euphuistic language. i'm Trm Little Corporai. for Febru

Ohio Ratifies. The vote on the Fifteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
was reached in the llouse ot representa
tives at a late hour on Thursday evening, after one of the most exciting sessions ever seen in the Legislature of Ob!o. The opponents of the Amendment resorted to all kinds of strategy to postpone
the decision, but the mends ot the measure stood firm, and after the enemy had exhausted his tactics, proceeded to vote
down the amendments to the resolution of ratification in their order, and the final vote upon the resolution resulted io favor of ratification by 57 yeas to 55 nays. Counting out the vote of Mr. Blakeslee, whose right to a sett has been questioned, the vole would' have stood 66 . to 55 enough to ratify. With Ohio where she ought to stand on(bis great question, there can no longer be a doubt of the ratification of the Amendment by thereqnired number of States, and the final extinction of those senseless and unjast discriminations against a class of citisens whose blood and birth is their misfortune, not their fault, which are the incidentals of so institution that perished with the rebellion.

The American six per cents are at eighty-six, while the British threes are at ninety.two. Twice the amount of interest does not suffice to put the bonds ofthe Union on a level with our own stock. This enormous difference expresses simply the difference of public confidence iu the two Governments. That the Americans can afford to pay their debts at least as well as we can, is unquestionable; that they will actually pay them aa surely as we shall do, has hitherto been so far doubted that the interest has had to be doubled before the security could bo rendered acceptable.

He declares the action of New York, in attempting to withdraw the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, "a constitutional ridiculosity." There is a close race between Campbell and Ilnbbell.in the Ohio Senate, and between Baber and Ball, in the House, for the leadership of the two houses respectively. It so happens that every man of the four is a renegade Republican f ike Johnsonian era. The Texas Legislature has ten negroes two in the Senate and eight io the House. According to General Reynolds, the Senate will consist of eighteen Republicans and twelve Democrats; the Llouse of fifty, one Republicans and thirty-nine Democrats.
There is a proposition before the Illi
nois State Constitutional Convention to abolish the Senate, and to vest the legislative authority of the State in a single body, to be called the Legislative Assembly) composed uf 300 members. A resolution has been introduced into the Lower House of the Kansas Legisla

A man named Thornburg died from the effects of injuries inflicted in a brawl at Haslinger's saloon, in Plymouth, on Tuesday night, by two men named O'Conner and Crier, night watchmen in the employ of the merchants of that place. Thornburg was cruelly beaten and kicked out. He was found the next morning, badly frozen, senseless, with his head terrribly lacerated, between two saw-logs in the mill yard of Oglesby & Co., where it is supposed he was placed by his assailants, who thought him dead. He did not rally, although every effort was made to save his life. O Conner and Crier are under arrest, and a coroner's jury are investigating the case. A post mortem examination showed the skull of Thoruburg terribly fractured. A preliminary examination of the prisoners was take place next day. Popular indignation is greatly excited against the parties guilty of this atrocious deed. O'Conner and Crier have been bound over for their appearance for trial on the 12th day of February next. An absurd rumor has been started that Mr. Stanton committed suicide, by cutting his throat. The. fact that his body was not permitted to he seen by the public is given as confirmatory of the story, and it is even stated that the Insurance company, holding the policy on hie life, is to make an investigation. -JournsL

District is to be lowered at the dictation of these men, then present defeat and future demoralixation will very probably be the result. My appeal is to the honest, fair-mjndefl voters who have sustained me in former conflicts. Judging by the Pa8t "ball not appeal to them in vain. The contest, 1 know, will be bitter, and outside id, I
have no doubt, will be lent to the oppo-
eitiou. Ihe unseen hand of Congressional lobbyists whom I have offended, will be felt in attempts to corrupt the politics of the District and subsidize its press. These and kindred influences will bo employed freely, but I do not believe they will pre. vail. I propose, at any rate, to make the fight, and should 1 fail, through any such appliances, either In the nomination or election, 1 shall count myself not in any wise dishonored by defeat. Perhaps X ought to add, in conclusion, thai the real problems of our National polities are not yet fully solved. The great work of Reconstruction is not conaummatedi and will not be, until Education and Homesteads, the hand maids of the ballot, shall be seoured to the freed men and white loyalists of the South. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution, defining who are citizens of the United States, and making it the right and duty of the Central Government to give them National Protection, ia return fur National Allegiance, opens up to Congress a new and grand field of jurisdiction, and points the way to the true remedy for rebel out-
