Young 'or *ec Vetery of Htate, at the last general election JACOB RICH, Ch'n Corn. PHB LIEUTENANT GOVBBW OR8HIP. W« have been pl«Mwd to notice in fgveral of our BUte exchanges fevora notice of Mr. Dudley W. Adatni %tAllamakee county, in connection ""frith the Republican Domination for jLieuteuaat Governor of Iowa. The Ireatof eutlenan referred to enjoys to an extent as any man in the tale the coufldenoe of that leading (lane our citizen*, the farmer*, to frbich he he himaelf belongs. He has (he certain reputation of intelligence «nd ability and hia recent action in fegard to the Waterloo fiasco *bows feim to be devoid of undue personal ambition, and a wiae and discreet Counselor. It waa therefore with fom leaaure that we saw the suggestion influential sources that the nom ftiation alluded to above be tendered Mr. A., and that we now see in his «trn county paper an indorsement of Mbe project which will naturally be tftken as an indication that the com pliment if proflered will be accepted in the pame spirit in which it will be given. The Allamakee paper, after •oting the fact that a change in the Lieutenant Governorship is a foregone conclusion, formally announces Mr. Adams &* a candidate for the nomina Moo. It refers to him as "a man of dtoellent sense, of cool judgment, a Sue conversationalist, a good writer *nd a fair orator. He is active, ener getic, positive and eminently execu gve." Says, "his success iu presiding ifver so unwieMly a body ax the State Orange, which held a convention of flome 800 or 1,00 delegates at Pes lloiuee last winter, shows that he has |ost the ability needed for presiding '•(Beer of tho donate while should itrcumstances cause the duties of Chief Executive to devolve upon him he has j&e requisite ability, and the familiar ity with public atlairs, to perform Jbem with credit to himself and serv ice to the State." And concludes With the following earnest aud well Considered language: Mr. Adams is one of the most intel ligent representatives of the agricul tural classes in this State, and one of ILe best known and Lest appreciated. It is due to this class that so compe tent and worthy a representative •hould be selected as one of the stand ard bearers of the Republican party of tti is great agricultural .State, particu larly now when the far mere are arous ed to an earnest struggle against the nonopoliat*. While we urge the nomination of Mr. Adams because be It a Republican, and because he is in •very way worthy and competent, we certainly think it should be x.r, dispar agement to him that the Urmiin tte t'nited States hav! stiffkient neet for his ab.i :j «.1 u.:. ftdence in him a« a rpfwc'X.'» '.f tlieir inf-reets u roac« ra Master of tn»if "*•-'/£.*: arp*r.-.»r iz.1 Adaz&* v. ttie Jt*j r... ar. !.• t*». *rtrj w-jb la laboring for xt*.

We believe no stronger ticket could be made, or a more worthy one in any aense than this we have indicate J. I'or these reasons, enforced by the fact ihat Allamakee county 1*-- never been honored in the selection nominees for a State position, we urge the nom ination of Dudley W. Adams for Lieu tenant Governor. The Daveniort (Inzctte shows its thorough appreciation of the real di fectlon and intent of the Cedar PoxC vaporings about purity, honesty, eoon ©my &c., by the following pertinent answer to a question which formed the only tangible point in a half col umu's fanfaronade, last week The (,'edar 7'o^f iii'j iire* if it in no necessary "to place a ticket in the field next fall of good, earnest, incor ruptiblu men" pledged Ktand by the farming interest. Decidedly but it is Hot "necessary" to get up a farmers party, to gratify a few Democratic demagogues, wbose chief object Is to break down the Republican organize tion. On the 26th ult., another battle was fought with the Modoce. The casual ties are 10 of our sildiers killed, in eluding a Captian and two Lleuten ants 23 wounded, includingoie Lieu tenant, and others missing, including one Lieutenant. The losses of the Modocs are not stated. Our troops were surprised and completely re pulsed, with terrible loss, considering the smallness of their numbers. A cable dispatch says there are now seven thousand dray-loads of good* for exhibition between the frontier and Vienna, for the great Exposition, and that, inasmuch as only about twenty drays can be unloaded iu day, it probable that the exhibition halts will not be fully arranged before the end of June. The great World's Exposition for 1873 was formally opened at Vienna last Thusrday afternoon. It was wor thy of remark that one hears nothing more about the cholera in that city i la safe to conclude that the recent re ports were groundless. The Modoc war still disappoint!) all who expected its speedy termination Blx years ago a very trifling circum stance brought a war with the Cliey enne Indians, which cost the govern ment thirty millions or dollars, and did no good that was ever pointed out The Illinois Legislature, during IIH recent long-drawn-out session of six teeu weeks, passed 11!# bills, aud appro f»riated out of the treasury to State in titutiona and other purposes an aggre gate of $5,851,485.

For readers wbo would utiderstarjd Low thik terrii»k: eaSanihv occurred I writ*. It waa a wajron and Uy\. bridge, with five spans of about 120 fcrt each. IiotL shore spans are bro ken UJ piece# and fallen to the water while the three middle ones, resting entirely upon stone piers, remain sus bended by the wrought iron mem bers of the main cords, from six to eight feet below their proper places dropped down between the piers About twelve fuet of the bridge floor is for a wagon-way, separated either side from a five foot path by twelve foot high partition ol' lattice truss-work. Directly under this iron lattice work is the main cord. This cord is broken in every case about l!i feet from its bearing on each pier, or where the first truss bolts to the cord. Not three tons weight was on the span which first broke down, aside from its own weight: but the peopl (about l.Vi) were all on one side, and outside the truss. The bridge-tender cautioned the people, and others did the same but few gave heed, and perhaps many heard not the words of advice, to "come off''—"there are too many on the bridge." About 1~ minutes after 1 o'clock as the liev. Mr. Pratt was passing convert for baptism into the water of liock Itiver, just l»elow the bridgi on the north side, there being a large crowd of men, women and childn witnessing the ceremony from the bridge, the iron work gave away and without a moment's warning fifty or sixty souls were launched into eternity. Words cannot describe th horrible panic that then seized the vast crowd upon the banks of the river, and, of course, this spre/.i through our city, for mothers cam/1 the river bank anxiously inquiring for their children, fathers for wives and children, and all was horror and excitement. The victims, about eighty in number, were mostly wo incn and children. The First National Bank of Lyons Iowa, has obtained a verdict for $.13,208 in its suit against tbe Ocean Rank, at New York, to recover the value of bonds deposited with the latter bank just previous to its robbery in June 18011. Judge Tarremore charged the jury that if the Ocean Rank was gull ty of gross negligence, tbe plaintifl could recover. This 1* the first case of precisely this character which has been tried in this country or England and is considered of great Importance to banks, banker** and lawyers. The Davenport Quzettc claims that a total Ol 3,116,807 bushels of grain ware brought to that city and sold (bonajlde transactions) last year.

Sbankland, Esq., of Dubuque, has been appointed to represent the Grange In the Producers' Convention to be held in New York on the Gth of May. Tbe low price of corn la tha United States seems to have created a large foreign demand for that staple insteai of wheat. According to a late report of the Bureau of Statistics, there was exported 01,^1,262 bushels for the fifteen mouths ending September 30 137J, against l'J,441,T10 bushels for tbe correspondig period to September 30 lhTl while of wheat there was ship ped 40,'j(tl,.V5 buehel* for the fifteen months ending .^ifitember -30, 1871 against 30,H~2,"1^ bushels in the sim ilar period to September 30, lait year The difference in the present rates of wheat and corn is considerably greater than it was during the period to which these statistic-* refer, and it is probable that the present summer will HIIOW still larger iucrease in the foreign con sumption of the latter iuiportan breadstuff staple Tbe fence law of Texas has hitherto been a very curious one. Every man was required to fence against bis neighbor's stock. In other words, he was required to fence out stock instead of fencing them in. A bill introduced Into the Texas Legislature propose* to change this, and make a farmer fence in his cattle instead of fencing out those of his neighbor Georgia, also, has just passed a law on tbin nubject one very important to an agri.-ultural community. Under the statute, tbe boundary line of each lot or parcel of land in to be considered a lawful fence, and no animal used or fit for food and labor will be allowed to run at larg beyond the limits of the land of th owner. It is a local law, however, and many of the counties will, it is said oppose it, though it is probable that in most of them it will be adopted. The Modocs are certainly all dead by thin time. At the outbreak of hos tilities they numbered only fifty-three souls all told The telegraph has re ported more than that number of war riors killed already.

It will be seen by the announcement io our advertising columns that the Uilrti gift concert of the Public Libra ry of Kentucky, which wa» to take place to day, Las been postponed un ul July S* This postponement has not been occasioued, as we are advised by Gov. BramieUe, oy the small sales of tickets on the contrary, tbe sales have been unusually large—much larg er than at eituer of the preceding con certs—so large, indeed, that the time given by this ninety-day postpone ment will enable Gov. Bramlette to disp se of every ticket and insure a full drawing without any reduction or scaling vf the gifts, as bus heretofore been the case. Gov. B. sees his way so ciearly that he announces in the most positive and unequivocal language that the drawing will take place July s. and that it will be a full one. The owner of the ticket drawing the capi tal gift will get £100,000 in greenbacks without any discount, and so of all the other gifts The money sufficient to pay all the gifts—$500,000 iu green backs—is already on deposit iu the Farmers' and Drovers' Bank, set apart for the payment of tbe gifts aud can be used for no other purpose, as will be seen by the cashier's certificate. With knowledge of these tacts—aud we do not hesitate to guarantee their scrupu lous fulfillment—there will be such a demand for the tickets now on band that iu all probability not asingleone will be left for sale weeks before the time of drawing. There never was a fairer or more honorably-conducted enterprise before the public, and it has as it deserves, the entire confidence of our people. It is one of those schemes iu which the purchasers of tickets feel the most positive assurance that tbe drawing will be fair, lor it will be con trolled by the most prominent and distinguished citizens of the city and State, and those who draw gifts will be certain to get the money the mo ment their tickets are presented.— Louii'ilk Courier-Journal.
