EETTER FROM SEN. CRIMES.
The Otiumwa Couriir publiihes the
fdilowing letter to lloa. E. II. Stiles of
Wapello county. Iowa:
I-cr.LiNGTi.-i, Sept. 1-1, 186-S.
My Dlar tfin; I am astonished
to learn, as I do by: your ttt r of the
12th inst., that any one ha asserted or
believed for one moment that I do not
fully, freely, and as enthusiastically as
I am capable of doing it, support the
entire Republican ticket in the coming
canvass. You say the report i that
I am indifferent to the result "on ac
count uf the uncalled for and unwise
action of the Union Conreution on the
suffrage question." I certainly did re
gard that action as uncalled for and
impolitic, and had I been a member of
that convention I would have opposed
the introduction into the platform of any
new is.-ue upon any new subject, how
ever just I might believe the principle
to be. I would have opposed it because
I believe that there Las been no time
during the la.t four years when it was
more necessary that the Union party
of the nation should present an unbrok
en front and stand as a unit, than at the
present moment, and I would have done
nothing, consented to nothing that would
have a tendency to repel a single voter
from a support of the Union party,
which is a support of the Union itself.
I believe every v:te withdrawn at this
time from thy support of the Union
ticket, withdraws just that much moral
support from the Administration, and
,i, ., ,,., : ;,, , , . - ,l
that PUpport IS JtUt 33 UeCcSSiry tO the
Goveni-.nent in the present crisis as it
was i.rK--.s;iry to support our nriiiies in
the field.
The very fact thru in my view the
convention. erred by introducing a local
issue into the canvass when the minds
of the people U T6 VeTV' properly eD-
1
natienai issues pressing upon uiein, so ;
far from begetting "indirierence" would j
give m; much greater anxiety as to the j
result of the election, mid would call
f.rth a corresponding exertion did not
1 know that the p.opi.j ot Uwa thor- ,
ouhiy unders'.nnd the questions before
them, and cannot be diverted from their
support of the Government by any side
issues live this o: negro suffrage in this
Stali;. .....
There is not an irittllijent man in
the Sine who does not comprehend all
of the subjects legitimatt-ly embraced
in this tanva-s.
The Union party seeks simply to
fulfill in good fjtiih their obligations as
sumed during tin war, and to secure
the couitry as the fruit of four years
struggle permanent unity, peace and
prosperity.
We-all know that the Democratic
parly desire and intend to coalesce with
the returned rebels from the South. By
that means, if they can succeed in dis
tracting the supporters of the Govern
ment and secure a few Northern States,
they hope to obtain control of the Gov
ernment, and then will follow the as
sumption of the rebel debt, the restora
tion of slavery under a less odious
name, and the return of the leaders of
the rebellion to power. It was to this
end that the farce was enacted a few
weeks ago at Des Moines cf nominat
ing a Soldiers' ticket by the Democratic
party.
But of this folly it is hardly worth
while to speak. I have neither seen
or beard of a man who is like'y to be
deceived by i:. It is only calculated to
make the actors in it ridiculous, and its
only final result will be to add one dis
appointed man to the Democratic party.
No, my dear sir, there never was a
time in the history of the Government
when it was incumbent upon every good
citizen to support the Union ticket, what,
ever mas' be his intentions on the sub
ject of -universal sutTrage, than now;
and if I believed that there was the
slightest doult about the result, though
I am admonished by my physician thai
lean no longer safely speak' out of
. t !. 1 l .
Ju0rS shoUitl genera;.', be COlTi-
sonally into the canvass, and use what
strength I have to urge upon the people
the importance' of the contest. But
there is no need of it. The people
will not be deceived or misled on this
subject. The jugglery at Des Moices
when Colonel Benton received the nom-
ina'.ion of the men who daring the last
four T5arVljave thrown every possibles
impediment 10 the way of the Union
cause, was too transparent to deceive
any one. Your obedient servant,
JAMES W. GRIMES.
THE STEAMBOAT Utli.MlItS.
Wm. Murphy, one of the persons
accused of conspiring to burn steam
boats on the western rivers, has been
brought to trial before a military com
mission in St. Louis. The following
extract we take from the proceedings
of the 21st inst.:
The accused was then arraigned and
pleaded not gtiilty to the several charges
and specifications:
The accused then requested the Com
mission to order the Judge Advocate to
give subpoenas commanding the attend
ance of Jefferson Davis, late President
cf the so-called Confederates States of
America; James A. Seddon, late Sec
retary cf War, C. S. A.; James L.
Trenholm, late Secretary of Treasury,
C. S. A., and Stephen R. Mallory, late
Secretary of the Navy, C. S. A., as
witnesses for the defense.
The Judge Advocate declined to
summon the above named witnesses un
til it could be shown that they were
material witnesses.
Defendant then filed an affidavit, of
which the following is the substance:
" Defendant also states that he is
charged with conspiracy to burn and
destroy steamboats and oilier property
belonging to or in the service of the
United States, with intent to aid' the
rebellion against the United States, and
in the specification to said charge the
names of parties are set forth with
whom the conspiracy 13 alleged to have
been made. Defendant states that he
can prove Ly the testimony of said
Davis, Mailory, SodJon and Trenholm
that the parties named in said specifica-
. jitions did not conspire as alleged to
I ...
L.UIH
nd destroy boats and other prop-
erty, but that the burning and ces.ruc
tion stt forlll was a ,nilitary measure
of lhe rebel rjovernment at Richmond,
Vat conceived and ordered, by said
(Jovemment, and curried out, so far a
it was carriea QM, by persons in th;
...in.arv anj naVal service of said Gov-
eminent. He furtlu-r states that by
the testimony of said Davis, Trenholm,
Mallory and Seddon he can prove that
the late rebel Government is alone re
sponsible for the conception and execu
tion cf the military measure of turning
and destroying boats and other proper
ty, and that he, the said defendant, was
not one of the persons ordered or em
ployed by them to "burn and destroy
steamboats aod other properly belong
ing to or in the service of the United
States," as set forth in the charge. And
he is instructed by his counsel and ver
ily believes that said Davis, Seddon,
Trenholm and Mallory are- material
witnesses in his case."
?5j "Soldiers, duriog the war. the
Copperheads laughed at your wounds;
they sneered at your scars; they mocked
the corpses of your comrades; they
prophesied your defeat, they hoped for
your disgrace; they prayed for your
overthrow and death; they despised the
! cause for which you were battling; they
were the allies of your murderers.
'Now you have reached home cov
ered with glory; 3ou are welcomed by
the true people of the North; yorj are
radiant with success, and the very men
of whom I have been speaking, crowd
around you and say thty are your
friends. Beware of them all ! They
do not want to help you; they want you
to help them "Speech of Col. R. G.
Ingersoil at Peoria, Illinois, to the S6th
Illinois Regiment at their anniversary
meeting.
J5sg" A certain green customer, who
wa3 a stranger lo mirrors, stepped into
the cabin cf one of our ocean steamers,
stopping- in front of a large pier glass
which he took for a door, said :
"I say, mister, when does this here
boat start?"
Getting no reply from the dumb re
flection before him, he again repeated:
'I say, mister, when does this here
boat start?"
Incensed at ,the silent figure, he
broke out:
"Go to thunder, you darned sassafras
colored, shock-headed, bull calf; you
don't look as if you knew much, any
how." jg?SS A new -use for Confederate
money has been found. A lady in
Texas stuffed a mattrass with five hun -
"dred thousand dollar wprth of it. j.

EtS" The "DiocTatic" Committee
of Connecticut has issued an address
to the ''party" in that State, calling up
on them to defeat the amendment strik
ing out llu! word "white" from the Con
stitution i-nd admitting blacks to the
suffrage. The reason given is "that
while meu must rule Connecticut." As
the blacks are about one in ninety of
the population, the inference that if the
ninety-firtt black man has a ballot he
will rule the ninety white men is vastly
complimentary to the negro. If the
claim that one negro can rule ninety
white men, if given equal rights, is not
negro worship, we should be glad to
learn whr.t is.

A SHOUT AXSWER.
When Gov. Stone, of Iowa, learned
that Brevet Brigadier General Thomas
Hart Benton, jr., had accepted the nom
ination for Governor, he sent the Gen
eral the following dispatch :
"September 1st, l56o.
'Hon. II. C. Ilenderssn, Marsballtown:
"Please say to Col. T. II. Benton,
Democratic candidate for Governor,
that I shall be gratified to have him
meet me at Boonsboro to-morrow, at
Toledo 5th, Vinton G.h, Waterloo 7th
inst., and other appointments, for joint
discussion of the issues of the day upon
equal terms.
"W. M. STONE,
"Union candidate for Governor.''
The reply was as follows:
"Marshalltown, Sept, 2, 1S65.
"Gov. W. M. Stone, Boonsboro:
"I am not the Democratic candidate
for Governor.
Titos. H. Benton, Jr."
This is sufficiently explicit and lacon
ic. As he denies tha soft impeachment,
the question now arises. Whose candi
date is he ?

been cut down and saved if Genera
Joab hadn't cut him up by sending
three dans through him. That was
the way in which secessionists were
treated in good old Bible times and
says the Boston Traveler, it wasn't a
bad way except for the sufferers.

AX I.MrORTAIVT CORRECTION.
A verbal error, which has appeared
in some of the newspapers, has been
deemed of sufficient importance for
official correction. The Secretary of
State says the section in which it occurs
is as follows :
And be it further enacted, That all
persons now by law entitled to a less
pension than heretofore specified, who
shall have lost one foot and one hand
in the military service of the United
States, and in the line of his their
duty, shali be entitled to twenty dollars
per month.
This section, the Secretary says, is
printed in the pamphlet edition of the
laws of the last session of Congress
precisely according to the original roll,
with the exception thai the word "his"
is underscord, t. e., put in italics, and
the word ' their" placed in brackets, the
reason for which is obvious. The error
is that newspapers have printed the
word "or" instead of the word "and
between the words "foot" and "hand."
The Acting Commissioner of Pensions
says without this correction the busi
ness of the buseau will be uselessly in
creased without benefit to any one.

5fA capital , story is told of tha
French novelist, Alexandre Dumas. At

one of the shareholders of the theater
solicited the honor of an introduction

novelist, wondering what would cotno
next. "Then of courao your father was
a negro?" "Of course, he was," replied
Dumas, winking at those present. "Then

roars of laughter from the bystanders.
Valla.vdiguam for Senator. Tho
Cleveland Leader states that a part of
the Democratic programe of that Stateis
yet kept scrupulously secret, but never
theless fully resolved on by those "in tha
ring," is nothing less than the carrying
of the next Legislature and the election
of Clement L. Vallandigham as the next
U. S. Senator of Ohio. The Democracy
do not, of course, expect to carry the
State on the general ticket, nor will they
attempt it; but they will lend every effort,
by colonizing votes, by trading votes, by
spending special labor on every district
that can be possibly carried by a Demo
crat, to obtain control of the next Legis
lature and all to the end that they may
get Vallandigham, the dirtiest dog among
all the traitors and political scoundrels
of the country, into the U. S. Senate.
That is an ambition entirely worthy of
the Democratic party.
