The last Republican contains a communica.
tion from the above named ex. treasurer of JEFF
ferson county, and member Of the Wing Execu-
tive Committee of the State, in which he meets
the charge Of being deiaultcr by calling the
author "poltroon, catiff. and liar" We
also received letter from Mr.. Ford demanding
the name Of our informant. We refer him to
the records Of the district court Of jefferson
county, with the assurance that il there is any
pant of the charge not in accordance with the
facts a. they are. if he win send us copy
Of the cases, under the seal OF the court,
we will Sheerfully make the correction.
1nstead'of giving the nnme of person on
whom Mr.. Ford might wreak his vengeance pri
va'ely. we will suggest TO Mr.. Essd that the
official certificate of the clerk Of. The court that
there were no suit pending by the State or

" We give the Congressional procee dngs
of the 29th of May. by which it appears the
Iowa railroad bill was defeated by large ma.
jor,,y-l02 to 6s--and this too after the passage
Of similar bill the day before in favor Of Mis-.
souri, by a vote of 1903 to 76. This is astonish.
ing to us. and certainly very humiliatng to the
Iowa members of the house of representatives
Is it possible that the wings have not been ly.
ing al this time in relation to their fidelity to
the railroad interests Of the State? This ques-
tion will have to be answered before the tribu
nal Of the people. We have been aware. for
some time, that the wings of this State, whose
trade is politics, would rejoice to see this bill
defeated in order to make political capital in
the ensuing campaign. We have now but lit.
tie hope of disappointing their wishes.

Mr. HALL. from the Committee on pub

a donation Of public lands to aid in the con.
struction # certain railroads in that State.

yesterday for the benefit Of Missouri The
Senate bill provides for two roads in the State
Of Iowa; one from Davenport. on the Missis.
sippi; and the other from Dubuque to Keokuk
The people Of Iowa have manifested deep in.
terest in those roads. and the proposition has
been before Congress for many years asking
for grant Of land to aid in their constructions
The Senate had three several times passed bills
for this purpose. The Committee on Public
Lands proposed to ame:.d the hi so as to
provide for the construction Of a railroad from
the town Of Burlington to the Missouri river
and to continue the road from Burlington east
10 the town of Lafayette, In Llama The amount
Of land granted by the amendment is nine
hundred thousand acres. Yesterday, he said,
the House endorsed the principle OF granting
alternate sections by voting lands to Missouri

would show awillngness to treat all sections
alike. and do equal justice to all. In reply to a
question, he said that the bill, if amended as
proposed would appropriate tweAty six hun

concluded by moving the previous question.

The reason assigned for banks here is without
weight If a farmer in Davis county should
sell his hogs for bill issued from bank at

of fact know more of the value of such bill
