This great contest for superiority in
horse-Aesh between the North and South
drew together : larger collection Of people
than We have ever before seen in the Union
Course. From an early hour in the morn
ing until towards noon the streets in the
neighborhood Of the Ferries were iammed
with all kinds of vehicles waiting their
turn to cross. Every thing upon wheels.
from the snowy turnout Of the millionaire
or the dandy to the wagon Of vender Of
clans, was put in requisilion to convey the
lovers Of sport to the course. The largest
number Of foot passengers went over he
South ferry and took the railroad, but !
large number also went over the Fulton
ferry From good authority we learn that
$1,000 persons crossed the South ferry
and 10000 the Fulton Ferry, up 10 ten
o'clock. The Railroad company carried
in round numbers 5000 passengers to
and from the course, al an average Of some-
thing over 50 cents each, which win make
income The company received ion 'tbe
last great facs day about 5000.
The gathering on the course was much
larger than we have ever seen there, md
according toihe best estimates reached TO-
90 persons. The stands were ell crowd
ed to the utmost extent; the track was %
much encumbered that strong police force
could scarcely keep il free for the run
hing horses, and the field was full cf ear.

The boats engaged in our trade the
present season are doing wonders in the
way of speed. From St. Louis 70 this
place in Is to 80 hours ID now becoming
common time; when even two years ago
two days was regarded q quite quick
trip.
The St. Croix and War Eagle, both fa-
vorite steamers, tested the relative speed
Of each last week in race from St. Louis
to Calena. The former made the trip in
the shortest time by something like two
hoars, but the precise number Of hours
occupied we have not learned. Like the
great race between Peytona and Fashion,
the contest has resulted in the establish
ment Of the uncommon swiltness Of both
boats.
On Tuesday the St. Croix again passed
up, making the run from ST. Louis to this
place in 26 hours and 30 minutes; and on
Wednesday we were visited BY the War
Eagle, in 26 hours from St. Louis.
The Time, Monona, Fortune, Falcon,
Mendoto and Uncle Toby, are al good
boats, and some Of them but little if any
behind the two above mentioned in point
Of speed.
| The Mermaid, commanded BY Capt,
G.eim, is regular packet between Rock
Island and St. Louis, and as such is de-
serving Of patronage. Persons who have
travelled upon her speak in the highes'
terms Of her accommodations and judicioui
management.
To all the above boats we are indebted
for many kind attentions since the opening
Of the season, which it gives us grea
pleasure to acknowledge.

IN locking over the proceedings Of the
Legislature, We notics that : bill has been
reported for the postponement Of the slsc-
ton Of members Of the House Of Represen-
Ftatives from August till April. We hope
the measure win not pass, NOT being ap-
prised Of any good reason which can b
urged in its justification. Itcertainly was
not contemplated, when the election Of last
year was postponed for the purpose Of
awaiting the action Of Congress in refer
ence to the prayed for diversion ofthe leg
islative appropriation, that such postpone
ment should so'operate a. to work per-
manent charge either in the tenure Of the
time Of service Of the members, or the time
Of holding the election. The impression
among the pcople-we speak particularly
Of the south-has been and still is that the
members elected in April are to serve
until superseded by members chosen at the
next regular August election; and it ex-
cites not little surprise to learn that any
doubt exists or is expressed on the subject
in the Legislature. We regret that the
legal question in relation to the tenure Of
the members has been raised at all, espe-
cially as those who undertake to decide
upon it are interested parties; but notwith-
standing, the decision which has been ar
rived at, we never entertained doubt but
that the menbers would give up their
places, and permit their successors to be
elected in conformity to the general UNDER
standing ofthe people. Wehave been told
that this is the course which the delegation
froa this county have determined on; but
should the move made in relation to putting
of the election Of members be carried into
execution. it would be taken as evidence
that the majority had determined to hold on.
Much more might be said in opposition
to any interference with the regular elec-
ton Of our members, but we abstain until
final action is had upon the subject. The
public manifest much interest in the decis-
ion, and we shall advise them Of the re-
suit at the earliest possible day.

The District Court for Des Moines coun.
ty will commence on Monday next. The
counsel for the Hodges, charged with par.
ticipation in the Lee county murder, have
brought the case to this county, and the
trial may be expected to take place some
time during the sitting Of the court-prob.
ably the first or second week. The Hedges
we learn, were taken to the house in which
the murder was committed, and were both
recognized by the inmates as the person.
engaged in the killing.

The lettings which have recently taken
place for the transportation ofthe mail in the
New England States are stated to have been
effected at great reduction upon former
prices. The Washington Union says, that
should proportionate reduction be carried
out through all the other States, the gen.
eral saving would be near $500, 600,
Great confidence seems to be generally felt
