" ' HIM DOWN.
Arid now comes that '-Iowa Union
"Wan" with another letter in the Hulk
tin of last Friday, in which he reiter
ate the assertion that he beani the
editor of this paper jubilato and ex
ult over the hanging of Mrs. Surratt.
The writer of the letter says he w&s a
comrade of ours in.the army, during
, the war, and remembers distinotly the
language use3 by us at the time of
the exeoution ot Mrs. Surratt. Here
is the exact language he uses in the
letter to the JJulleti;
"We belonged to the same com
pany, and I cannot be mistaken about
his rejoicing at Mrs. Surratt'a being
nung.- ve an uia it,"
How, to prove what an execrable,
nntuitigated, wholesale liar the writer
of the foregoing sentence is we will-
state a few historical facts with which
very school-boy is conversant.
Gen. Lee surrendered to Grant on
the 9th day of April, 18CS; President
Lincoln was assassinated on the 14th
of April five days after the surren
der,: Mrs. Surratt was tried, sen
tenced and executed on a charge of
complicity in the assassination. She
was hanged on the 7th day of July,
1806, months after the surrender of i
, the Confederate foroes and altor the
war was virtually at an end. Thus
flinch for history. .
Onr discharge from the military
' service bears date Deo. 11, 18C1
three years and a half before the ex
ecution of Mrs. Surratt and we wore
never again in service, On the 2d
day of May, 1865 less than three
wo'eks after the assassination of Lin
coln we started aoross the plains, for
Oregon, in company with a large train
of immigrants, and wore in the Rooky
.Mountains at the time of the execu
, tion ot Mrs. Surratt. Our parly first
beard of it at Fort Halleck, and uni
versal expressions of denunciation of
the outrage were made by almost
every one, the writer of this being
among the number. Messrs, Geo.
Humphrey, sen., Dr. W. Q. Stewart,
at present residents of this city, Geo.
Humphrey, jr.,r present Deputy Sher
iff of Linn comity, Hon. Jas. II. Tur
ner, now practicing law at Pendleton,
Wmatilla county, and scores of other
. respeolablo and reliable persons wore'
JO our company while crossing the
plains,' all of whom will doubtless
verify the statements herein made.
Those who are not yet satisfied that
die Bulletin') "Iowa Union Man" is
an unmitigated liar are rospeot
ftlly referred to the porsons, above
Darned.
But surely nothing more is needed
to nail the wretch to the cat-hoad of
publics opinion and to demonstrate be
yond a doubt that he is a brazon liar.
The facts are, the Bulletin in its
blind zoal to injure our business as
publisher of a paper,' and to impair
our party record, has either invented
this Ho or suborned some irresponsi
ble vagabond to porform the dirty
work for it j but in its eagernoss to
make put a case it has discharged a
boomerang which has recoiled upon
itself.. One would suppose that tho
editor of that paper would have had
more souse than .to have, permitted
himself to be caught in so ludicrous
and glaring a fraud ; but men who are
continually striking right and left,
like a blind snake in dog-days, con
not fail to bo-caught in their own toils
occasionally.
The Jiulletin will now cithor pro
duce Its correspondent's namo or
aland branded before the whole State
as the forger of a most brazen lie,
An Iowa newspaper correspondent
tells of a County Clerk, in a rural
town, who had a pet oalf which he
was training up in the way of an ox.
The calf walked around very peacea
bly undor one ond of the yoke while
Mr. Clerk held up' the othor ond, but
in an unfortunato raojneut the Clerk
conceived the idea to put his own
neck iulo the yoke, to let the oalf see
how it would seem to work with a
partner; this frightened mister oalf,
and elevating his tail and voice, he
struck a "dead run'' for tho villago,
and Mr. Clerk wont along, with his
head down and Lis plug bat iu his
hand, straining every norve to keep
tip, and erying at the top of his voice :
"Hero we oome, blast our fool souls,
hoad us, everybody 1"
Up in Guthrie county, Iowa, the
Bard hearted parent enlored tho par
lor where the daughter was having a
' comfortablo time with her lover.
Tho parent insisted on stayiug there,
Tho plucky lover gathered tho old
ohap up and shoved him out side the
door.. The now infuriated parent
sued him before a Justioe for eject
ing him from a room in his own house.
And the wise Justice, to whom be all
honor, ruled as follows:. "It appears
that this young feller was courtiu'
plaintiff's gal in plaintiff's parlor, and
that plaintiff intruded and was put out
by defendant.' Courting is a necessi
ty and must not be interrupted.
Therefore tho laws of Iowa will hold
Ijiat a parent has no legal right in a
room where courting is afoot, and so
defendant is discharged and plaintiff
must pay costs."

The Grangers have determined to
deal direct with flourorB and expor
ters of grain, and dispense with what
they call "middlemen." This will
net affect the first port of minstrel
entertainments wherein the middle
man is an important actor.
Dudley W. Adams, Master of the
National Grange, thinks it would be
impossible for the Grange to be
come a political party, op the ques
tion of protection would divide thom
at once. Nothing could be more un
wise than the formation of a political
party, seeking to unite one class in
opposition to others.
Tho Grangers, or Patrons of Hus
bandry, have adopted as a rule of
their Ordor never to go to low, and
to have nil disputes settled by arbi

ry, a jury of picked neighbors and
mutual friends deoido what is right.

OKAIN DEFICIENCY IN jJUKOPK. ..
We condense the following inter
esting statement of- the soarcoof the
grain supply of Europe and tho con
dition of tho market for the current
year, , from the Chicago Mercantile
Journal. The best authorities esti
mate that England will require 92,
000,000 bushels, while Franoe, whioh
has heretofore produccd a surplus,
will require 82,000,000 bushels. The
following table gives an estimate" of
the wheat deficiencies for the current
year:

rom the abovo table it will be
seen that Russia is the great wheat
producing country of the world. . The
United States furnished only one-fifth-of
tho deficiency of England last year,
while Russia supplied moro than one
half the entiro requirements of the
oountry. It is said that the cron this
year in Kussia is barely an average
one. mis, with the failure in Ger
many, causes the competition shippers
to secure cargoes; There is, then,
every indication that prices will bo in
favor Of the producers throughout tho
year, and that prices will rule high.

VIKWS OP THE NKW YORK PRESS.
The tone of the leading journals of

it is a crime which exhausts the pa

New York, Nov, 19. Owing to the
statement contained in a letter from
Iiavnna that on the night of the 7th
inst., when the news of the capture
of the Virginius reached Santiago,
bpamsh volunteers, 111 fiendish exul
tation over tho triumph, visited the
widows of Masons shot m llMiS, and
brutally outraged tho helpless wo
men; that in tie struggle four were
killed and seven have since died, and
several were in such a dangerous con
dition that they cannot possibly re
cover, a petition is being circulated
in this city ond is being signed general
ly by Masters of Masonic lodges .in
Now York, and Past Masters of lodg
es, calling a session of the Grand
Lodge of the State, to take such ac
tion as may bo necessary.
The following account of events at
Santiago de Cuba was received at Ha
vana on the morning of the 7th inst. :
Thirty-seven of the crew of the Vir
ginius were brought on shore and
taken to prison, to remain there until
their execution, which was ordered
for that afternoon. Capt. Fry, 0 no-ble-lookiug
old man, fully a head
taller than the rest of the crew, when
he met his men ou the wharf, previous
to the march to prison, saluted them
all, ond the salute was returned with
ailection. At 4:45 r.31. Capt. Pry,
30 men and officers, were publicly
shot, despite the protest of all com
petent foreign authorities. The ma
rines were seven minutes killing tho
wretched prisoners. It seems as if
they would never finish. At last the
troops filed pasta long row of corpses.
Then the dead-cart was hurried uo
and loaded indiscriminately with the
mangled remains. Tho American Con
sul has done all that could have been
done; indeed it was threatened
that his exchanffcr would be with-
drawn.for his exertions on behalf of
the prisoners . In an interview with
Gen. Burriel, that officer yelled at
him, and otherwise treated him dis
respectfully. The British Consul at
so made an ineffectual protest against
the executions. It is reported that
sixteen 01 tno victims were British
subjects.

Crovorumout has got into a spasm of
,ii muun inn lyuuuu over me savage
butchery oi the passengers and crow
of tho Virginus' by the Cubans. This
seems justifiable enough. It however,
sugnjests to us that if theso Cubans
were only Moilocs, and their victims

quietly attending to their peaceful vo
cations on farms bought of the Gov
ernment, and who, men 'and children

differently. Iu the latter event there
would bo a I'eace Commission or two
sent out to Cuba with professions of
friendship and Govermcnt stores, with
which to soothe the savage mind and
administer to the savago appetite.
Tho Virginius was going to Cuba on
a niissi'in ot war. Sho had mado a
liko trip before; this, to say tho least,
deprives the unfortunato persons on
board of her of tho sympathy that
ought to wait upon helpless citizens
murdered by their doorsteps. In tho
latter case the Adminsitration has res
cued tho murderers from tho justico
of a State law, although it had to

the grat writ ot'lmbcas comns it has
no sucli a right at any time in order
to do it. In the former it can hardly
restrain its impatience to wipe out
Cuba for killing insurgent recruits,
We repeat, it is uulbrtuuato for those
most concerned that the passengers
