In one of Mr.. Kendalrs letters which we publish

Der of prisoners immured in the dungeons of Puebla
have been discharged by Gen. Scott. Of the cundl-
ton Of these poor bengs,-their treatment in coniine

menl, to atiord them the means of establishing their
innocence, by the forms of trial. he states facts that
almost realize, in this age of civilization, and under
the reign OF republic, the scenes that were disclosed
by the overthrow of the Basiile. Thus he speaks
"That some of them have been guilty Of gross and
most henOus crimes there be doubt but thai they

More Observation-Disclosures.

Until recently, it had escaped our no.
tice that the new school law, about which
SO much has been said, is rendered clear
" Unconstitutional by the discrepancy be.
tween the repeating clause and title. OF
the point blank contradiction Of the one BY
the other. Our constitution makes the
title Of any act part Of the act itself, as
Indispensable as the enacting clause. That
instrument wisely declares that "every
law shall embrace but one object, uhich
shaH be distinctly expressed in in its tile"
The ii lie ofthe act in question is, Gan act
supplemental and amsndatory to an act to
establish common schools, approved Janu-
AIRY 10th, 1870" But the 46th section of
tile act repeals the whole Of the act OF
lS4O, to which it purports to be supple.
mental and anendatory. l. reads thus:
'That all acts and parts of acts relating
to shoots, heretofore in force in this state,
be and hereby are repealed"
Can anything be more palpable than the
unconstitutionality ofsuch law? AS we
understand il, the school officers have been
acting under both these laws-the old and
new one. Now, if tue new law be con-
sttutioual. then Is the old one renealed !.
and, if constitutional, the main structure Of
the system falls TO the ground.

PAtrio1iS,mIaI,d Esclision.

Our reflections under the head of " Il
Word 10 protesting Christians" in another
column, very naturally suggest the cues
tion-can any true christian sympalhze
with, countenance, or support, the whig
party in its violent opposition to the ex-
listing WARP Can such sertim ents as those
there described find response in any
heart warmed at once by the genial iuhu-
ence Of religion and Of patriotism? for those
two virtues are legitimate hand maiiens.
Without patriotism, we contend, all forms
and professions Of religion are but an
empty show. Start not, gentle reader;
we can substantia.e this position by the
bible. Finally, is ii not the duty Of every
christian patriot, by all the means in his
power, 10 rebuke, mildly but firmly, slch
anti American and anti christian senti-
ments, where ever and by whomsoever
promulgated? This is a subject well
worthy the serious consideration OF the
numerous and highly respectable class to
when we address ou,self.

A Fad state Of Morals.

In a communication published in The
Burlington Hawk eye, predatory to cir.
cular from the Ex Committee of the Des.
moines county Temperance Society, the
sutjoined tounding passage occurs. We
knew that Burlington was pretty "hard
place" as well as some others Of our river
towns; but we had no idea OF The extent
Of vice in that city, and the wide spread
decentralization and ruin following in is
train, as disclosed in that communications,
After inqnring il the traffic in ardent
spirits shall be permitted to 60 on without
license, the writer says:
"All around us, we see men and breth
rem Keeling, curslng. falling, dy ing from
the effects of liquor. Beggary, idlensss,
vice. lewdness, theft, furnishing, are The
palpable fruits Of intemperance. All
around children are growing up, fore
doomed TO the wretche ness the crimes &
the fate Of their drunken progeni'ors.-
Men and brethren. what ought we to do?'
lis question more easily asked than an
swered,if the half of what you say etrue.
We venture the assertion that there is not
in the United States another point, ex-
cept, perhaps, Natchez under the hill or
the Five Points, of which such a revolt
ing picture could with fidelity be drawn.
In short, we think the case rather billions
one, and would recommend that the chan
mel of the Postum Fork of the Desmoines
be so changed as to take the infected town
in its course and sweep its streets of their
moral pollution. If this don't succeed,
sprinkle it plen.ifnlly with some dsinfect-
ing agent--turn lose the Hawkeye editor
to root amongst it-and keep within doors
for six months. The moral atmosphere
will then, doubtless, be improved; but the
animal should be kept without the corpo-
ration limits.

'E.ac s.icense Question.

A correspondent Of the Hawkeye, from
whom we have quoted in another place,
makes some statements v hich may be of
interest TO those who have taken an active
part upon this question, which we have not
mooted, for the reason that it not was pre-
scented in legitimate or tangible shape. Tha,
writer says:
Undoubtedly there is now nearly rs
much liquor sold and drank in our state,
since the vote upon the license law, as be-
fore. unquesionably the whiskey traffic
is more openly and fsarlessly prosecuted
every where, than it was under the sane
ton Of the license law. Intemperance is
rife amongst US, and every day is making
new Victims
When will the ostentatious champions
OF mora! reform learn that moral suasion is
tie only effective agent for the eradication
OF vice-that it is morally impossible to en-
force morality by law, and that every such
attempt desrades the moral standard of a
people and causes vice to take deeper root
among themS Experience, we think, must
soon teach them that, just in proportion as
you crcumscribe mems natural rights,
with a view Of compelling them to lead
exemplary lives, just in that proportion
will vice and immortality increase.

Lee County Erect! POssumry and
Whiggery IIebukcd!

ssb00Guy AoCD0sAAlSs''
At the special election for Represent
tative in Lee county, On Monday Of last
week, JOSIAH KEsr, the regular demo-
cratic candidate, was elected by upwards
of tUo hundred majority over THos. S.
EsPY, the candidate of the Union or ''Pos-
sum" party, anominal democrat and form
er editor Of the Postum organ. The forces
Of federalism, as heretofore, rallied with
all their strength 10 the support Of their
old allies; but to no avail Their dying
struggle, we are informed, was q despe-
rate one. But the fiat had gone forth
against them.
This is a glorious result. The sterling
democracy Of ole Lee have nobly vindiea-
ted her political integrity. We are en-
couraged by this result to hope that the
day is not far distant when this county
which erst 50 proudly bore the democrat.
ic banner, will be again completely olsen
thralied. She has been for some time pas,
compelled to submit to the disgrace Of .
mongrel wing sscendsncy, but the day o
her lull regenera alton is fast approaching.

APreclous Confession.

All recollect the fierce hue and cry
raised BY the federal press against US be-
cause we dared assert the nnalterabe fact
that the elections Of all the school officers
under the new law were null and void
Among the entire press Of the state, We
then stood alone upon this subject. Since
then the question has been decided by all
the judicial tribunals Of the state, includ-
ing the Supreme Court; but those mouth
pieces Of the Flaw and order" party in To-
wa, equally destitute ofregard for the most
sacred institutions Of their country, as for
the constitution by which they exist, have
persisted in maintaining that the election
is valid, shamelessly assailing the courts
for their unbiased decisions.
Loudes. in this cry against those who
fearlessly stood by the constitution, and
most tenacious in maintaining that those
elections were valid, was the Burlington
Hawkeye. But now that the General
assembly is expected to be convened, and
that political happy anticipates chance
for making capital by new shift, he at
once abandons his former position with the
utmost GOODNESS and sang froid, by ack-
rowledging that those elections were not
