DOMESTIC INTELIIGENCE-lcwA. The
Conven, on to frame a constitution Tor the
government Of the State of Iowa, Assem-
bed at Iowa city on the 18th INST. and pro-
ceeded at once to business. Shepherd
Letter, ESQ.,, is the presiding officer.
Tine progress already made in the bust
ness Of the Convention, indicates general
disposition to avoid useless waste Of time
aud expense, and that the labor of few
weeks will produce an excellent constiu.
ton. A report upon State boundaries had
already Q2lh inst. been made by the com
m,tee TO which the subject was referred.
1t adopts that geographical description,
which, we believe, is commonly known as
| Gov. Lucas boundary, which is the most
natural, and far more practicable bound
airy than that proposed by Congress. The
Capital Reporter says: If his boundary
is finally approved by Congress, Iowa. in
point Of location and territory, will be in
ierior to no State in the Union, and, in
point of richness and resources, will stand
deservedly at the head" The sublec, Of
State debts has also received the early at
teniion Of the Convention, and has also
been reported upon. The report provides
essentially thai, excsp, in cases Of nva.
sion or iasurrection, an Indebtedness ex-
ceeding one hundred thousand doll rs, to-
ge,her with any former Indebtedness, can
not be created by legislative enactment,
without the law at the same time provides
for the interest thereon and its future re-
demption in a manner exclusive Of loans,
and definitely prescribes The objecl for
which said indebtedness is created ; and
further requiring that such law shall not
take effsc; until the people at the next
election have sanctioned it. We believe
a provision Of the fundamental law, Of this
char acier, TO be highly expedient and ne
cessary to avoid The general calamity tina,
has be!n!en the Western States, and trus.
to see the substance Of this report made q

Presidential Election.
RETURNS.

The grca, battle has been fought, and the
returns are coming in. We have but few
delais,a must for the present content our
self with giving general results. First and
70: emost comes the old democratic Keystone
PENNSYLVANIA.
We have from this state returns from nine
teen counties, Philadelphia city I'd county
inclusive, which show a gain for Polk over
the vote of Skunk, in October, of 2lS9.
The democracy have undoubtedly carried
the safe by a m'jo:ty ranging from four TO
eight thousand. Philadelphia city and coun-
ty gave majority against us of 4107.
ILLINOIS,
Is ours by heavy majority. We have yet
no means Of knowing any thing noar what il
will be.
MICHIGAN,
Is ours, BY majority supposed TO be about
5000. The whole democratic Congre ssion-
al ticket is supposed to be elected.
INDIANA,
Is yet doubtful, though we think, from APP
pearances, the chances are in favor of the
democracy. We have returns from seven
counties showing ali aggregate democratic
majority OF III votes. The aggregate wing
maJorlties in the same counties in 1910 was
$50 votes. A corresponding gain in the
rest Of the counties would give us the state
by a handsome majority.
ONO,
In all probability is not ours. We have re-
turns from fourteen counties, giving Clay
majority of 5000, gain on BArtley's majo
rliy of 6J2. The counties where wing gains
were mainly expected are in, and but one
or two of the democratic. The county of
Richland alone has given an increased de-
mocFatc majority of 500, so that while the
state will in all probability go for Clay, we
do not despair that it may go the other way.
These are all the returns we have received
at the time of writing, and the most ardent
democrat could hardly wish them better.
We earnestly hope that New York has not
failed to sustain the hope of the democracy
o. the Union. Should she be with us the
bTillancv of our triumph would be without a
parallel; should she be against us we might
be successful, but the probabilities would be
aga nst us

Dickinson ofDepere, aged Ia, left home Oh
Wednesday afternoon last, ard has not been
heard of since that time. Various coniec-
lures exist as to whether he fell off the dam
while engaged in fishing, or whether he wan
dered into the woods and got lost. 1t ap-
pears he had been fishing that day, and it is
supposed that he took Ratchet from a work
shop near by, and went into the woods to
cut some poles for fish net. All attempts
to find him have proved fruitless: the neigh
bors have traversed the woods in all direc-
lions, but in vain. The lad was active and
intelligent, and his loss is a severe stroke for
his parents.-Creen Bay Republican.

GA most destructive steamboat dIsaS-
ter recently occurred on the OHIO river.
The steamboat Lucy Walker OH her way to
| New Orleans, about FIVE miles below New
Albany, loaded with passengers. stopped
few moments in the middle of the stream TO
repair some little damage happening 10 the
engine. Whilst stopping, the water in the
boilers got low, and the boilers three in mum
Der simultaneously exploded with tremen-
dous violence and most horrible and destruc-
tive effect. ''The explosion was upwards,
and that part of the boat above tho boilers
was blown into thousand pieces. The
U. S. snag boat, Gopher, was about 900
yards d slant at the time of the explosion.
| Captain Durham was Immediately on the
spot, rescuing those in the water, and with
his crew rendered all the aid in his power.
He states that the Lucy Walker was in the
middle of the river and such was the force
Of the explosion that parts of the boilers OF
the boat were thrown on shore. Just af.
the explosion, the air was filled with human
beings and fragments Of human beings. One
man was blown up fifty yards, and fell with
such force as to 60 entirely through The deck
Another was cut entirely in two by piece
| of the boiler" Such are some Of the Incl
dents of this fearful catastrophe. We can
not but think that nine times out of ten
these accidents arc the result Of carelessness
and bad management, AMI especially does il
appear to have been so in this case. The
captain knew, as every body knows, that 10
generate steam when the boat was not under
way, would soon exhaus, the boilers, and
without free escape to the open air, would
render them very liable to explode. What
excuse then for encountering the danger?
There is no punishment we believe for this
wholesale slaughter. A few words will be
wasted by the newspaper press; the public
will indulge in few EXPLANATIONS on the
subject, and that will be the end of it until
similar catastrophe again exctes attention.
