Highly Important to IOyM..Rec gnftiOn
OF the DesnOines river Grant.

We mentioned the arrival here, some weeks
ago, of Gen. Van Antwerp, commissioner of
public works of the State of Iowa, with the OBJ
ject of endcavoring to procure final settlement
of the question as to the extent of the
| Congressional grant of lands to that Statr,
to aid in improving the Desmoines River
The matter has at length, we learn, been set
tied by decision of the Secretary of the lnte-
rior to recognise the claim of the State to the
lands above the "Raccoon Fork !" of the Des-
moincs-instead of limiting it from its mouth to
that point-and ordering lists of those lands to
be made out for his approval. This decision as
we learn, confirms the action had upon the sub
ect by MIR. Secretary Walker, and reverses the
subsequent and contrary decision of Mr.. Secre
tary Ewing.
This action secures to the State a large addi-
tional quantity of lands applicable to the object
above mentioned !; and it is fortunate for Iowa
that the matter is thus finally and favorably set
tled-it being of the first importance to her
people. 1t WILL we are told, enable the State,
beyond a reasonable doubt, to improve the Des-
moines Rivcr-wh.ch is a beautiful stream, and
passes almost centrally through the whole ex-
tent OF its terrltory-so as to make it navlgable
for steamboats, of good class, for distance OF
over two hundred miles, into the very heart of
the State. The water-power to be created, too,
at the locks and dams which are to be built
some thirty in number-will be of great value,
as the works are to be Of the most substantial
character, and estimated to cost, in the aggrc-
gate, not less than million and half of dol
lars. The whole work we understand, is al
ready contracted for, to be completed in four
years.
This matter has been prosecuted with much
energy and perseverance by General Van Ant
wcrp, the commissioner of Iowa, who will how
have the qualification of announcing to her pco-
pie the favorable result of his important mis-
sion.- Washington Union Of the I'd inst.

WHAT AN UNroRrUSArE ADMINISTRATORS
From what has transpired since the present
Wing administration came into power, it is evil
dent that the great mass of the people do not
hold it in very high estimation: The impo-
tence of those who control the government, is
apparent in every move they make, and it is on
ly necessary for general publicity to be given to
the fact, to encourage the less rcverent of law
and order, to acts Of corruption, violence and
revolution. We are daily reaping the fruits of
such government. The treasury of the country
is open to myriad of lean and hungry party
hangers on, who constantly preying upon
the peoples substance-the Gaiphin, Gardiner
and other frauds, attest the truth Of this asser
ton The defiance Of law in Boston, Buffalo,
Christiana and Syracuse, exhibit the total dis
regard which the people in those regions, have
for those who administer it. The expedition
against Cuba, planned and matured in this coun-
try, under the very eye of the government, the
present revolution in Mexico, and the treasona-
BILE conduct of Brigham Young, the Cover
nor of the Utah Territory, all 60 to establish
| the fact, that the people have no confidence in.
ment When these Important revolutions were
| in embryo, the President and his constitutions
advisers, instead of being at their posts, watch
ing and guarding the peoples interests, were
travelling over the country making political
/ speeches and receiving buncone dinners. The
country needs change.
