Perhaps since the organization Of our Ter.
ritory no Legislature has met in lows
whose duties were more responsible or
more important than those which will dc
solse upon this body. !, will be composed
If the largest number Of Legislators who
have ever assembled in our State, repre-
senting the largest territory and by many
thousands the largest body of people
Knowing the Importance Of the questions
that will be brought before the Legislature
this session, the people generally through
out the State have selected men competent
to discharge The duties that will desolse
upon them Much is anticipated from this
Legislature and We trust the people will
not be disappointed in their expectations
The question OF most immediate impor.
lance TO the citizens OF Iowa is the revision
the new Code, especially Of that portion
which relates 10 the man sgemcnt OF the al
fairs Of the county. Tie propriety of
submitting TO the people call for Con
sen,ion to amend the Constitution, is a
subject that will claim the attention oil our
Legislature. The relocation Of the Seat
pl Government will again be sirenaousls
advocated by some of those disinteresfedI
members who live on the Des Moiaes. a
a'sa The more vital question of loanIng th e
credit of the State for the Des Malnes
River Improvement. More important
han any Of these to the rapid and ultimate
OF our State. will be the action

iowa. Other questions Of more local NJ
urc may arise, but these of themselves
ire suthcien, to employ our Legislators ae
lively during the present session.
In addition 10 the above, We might men
ton the vexed question of the election ol
[. S. Senator, but as hat is entirely L.
eofoco matter We leave il with the repre-
sentatiyes Of that party, trusting that thes
will not consume more than one-hali the
IRE that should be devoted to the public
interest in their private quarrels.
