Des Hoinss River Grant-WAo ars responsihsl
We observe in the Des Moi~es Valley Wig an
excellent article on the responsibility Of the Hun
ker Locofccos Of this State for the present posi-
ton Of the Des Moines River Grant. It IS con-
clusively shown that the construction OF the act
would have been settled long since in favor of
the State, had it not been for the inimical and
laundering action Of our locofoco Congressman
and State officers.
In the first place General Dodge, who was the
delegate from the Territory of Iowa when the act
passed. has the credit of having procured the
Grant. He introduced the bill, which was sub
sequently reported BY the committee to whom it
MAS referred, with the addition of the words
s.within the Territory Of Iowa." and passed into
alaw While the bill was in the hands Of the
committee. Gen. Dodge, in reply TO an inquiry
an hin mart. received letter from Gen. Shields,
the Commissioner Of the General Land Office, as
