THE HAIR BOR

The editor of the Tribune thinks that the
City had better abandon the present improve
ment OF the harbor and set to work to filling up
tho inner slough.
Before the City adopls the suggestion of our
neighbor, we would like to see him make some
estimates Of the probable cost of filing up the
inner slough Although the improvement might
prove more permanent one, than that which is
now being carried forward, yet we seriously
question the ability of Dubuque u: present, to
struggle through such a grand undertaking.
This vaeillating policy never accomplishes
any good The subject Of improving the har-
Dor, was maurely considered before pound of
mud was taken from the slough and the present
plan decided as the most practicable. A large
amount Of work has been done, for which the
money has been raised by taxation and paid over
to Mr. Hawley the contractor. To abandon it
now, when in half finished state, without hay
ing gone far enough to test the practicablity of
the Improvement, it seems to US would be the
very climax of folly. Especially whena sub
sti.ute plan is proposed, which cannot be practi-
cable for some years to come and until we have
ten times the wealth that we now posscss
1t seems to US, that this constantly agitatlng
new projects, which the people are not prepared
for, and discouraging those already in successful
progress, is both doubtful policy and economy
What we have not already undertaken, let US
mature well, but what we kaye commenced, let
US push to completion.

TROUBLES MEXICO.

The latest intelligence from Mexico, repre-
sents that country in most deplorahle condi-
ton. An other revolution is progressing. The
revoutionis,s are successful in every quarter
That unhappy people are terror stricken, with
the prospects before them. Arsta has resigned
the Presidency and fled the City. Cevallas,
president of the Supreme Court, has organized
provisional government. Santa Ana is sole
tied to return. Civil anarchy and blood shed,
Seems to be the only portion for that sadly strick
en- people. One military leader is hardly set,
tied in the Presidential chair, before an other
has risen to dispute his right Parties and fac
tons distract the country and leaders, loafers
and robbers constantly prey upon the substance
pie in the shape of onerous taxes to support a
profligate government, is f,ched from them by
up start leaders and lawless brgands.
Sad and ,uournful indeed is the fate of that
their leaders and their own imbecility, when
such state of things, is allowed to exist in this
age. Better for them thousand
times, had they no government, but that winch
draws and binds together, the rude savages
which infest their borders. Their cup of misery
it would seem is almost full How long must
this Country, remain an idle and Indifferent spec
tator Of such confusion, anarchy and distress
Is there no succor for people bleeding at every
pore? Ifnot, then indeed is their case most
desperately hard one.

FREE BANKING.

A proposition Is before the Indiana Legisla-
ture, instructing the Auditor and Secretary OF
State not to receive any further applications for
the establishment of banks in that State. The
reason assigned is, that the New York Wall
street operators are about securing charters for
banks in grea, many Of the counties, for the
purpose Of using the money in New York.
This is a new feature in the history Of banking
The idea of taking bank notes from the West to
the East is out of all precedent We have been
in the habit of getting shinplasters from New
England, and they altogether too plenty
here, because we have no means of sending them
away, and we hope they may find equal trouble

A WORDOF EXPLANATION TO OUR
READERS.

1t has been SO sf,en charged, by the Herald
Of this City. during our absence at Iowa City,
that we were candidate for the Office of State
Printer, that we feel it due to oursef to state,
that such was not the fact. As early as la st
September while on business at Iowa City, we
informed Mr.. Clark of the Reporter, that we
would not be candidate, and this fact was well
known to many in Iowa City, among whom
were the resident state officers. This 10 not all
We were asked by member of our delegation,
while on the road, and after reaching Iowa City,
whether we were candidate, and replied that
we were not. We were appealed to by our dele
CATION and many from other portions ofthe state,
to become SO, and invariably declined.
And from the impression among certain know
ing ones, to our mind well founded, that Messrs.
Mahony and Dorr, desired the office, but would
not allow their names to be used as candidates,
until after they ascertained that we were not in
the field, we are irresistably forced to the con-
clusca that they knew at the time of making
this statement, that il was wholly and entirely
groundess We make this expose, not SO much
TO convict them of maliciously disappearing
us, as to properly and fairly place oarself upon
the record before our readers. We trust we
shall have no more misrepresentation to correct
from that quarter.

INTERESTING LEGAL DECIsIoN-Tae .Neu.
traIity La'os Of the United States. Chief JUS
tice fancy delivered an important decision in
the L. S. Supreme Court, few days ago, in
the case of certain American citizens, against
Col. Thomas J. Chambers, of Texas While
Texas was contendng against Mexco, bat be.
fore her independence had been acknowledged
by our government, the defendant, Chambers
desiring TO carry on the revolutionary cause,
sold large tracts of land to the defendants--the
title to which he conyenansed to make at any
time when called upon by the purchasers. The
purchasers money expended in equipping
soldiers tor the revolutionary army, aud after the
establishment of Texan independence defendant
received the thanks of the Congress OF the new
Republic, and was reimbursed all the expenses
incurred by him during the war, in the public
service, including the price Of lands. Subse
quently he called upon to make title to the
lands sold to the plaintiffs, v hich he refused
Suit was brought to compel him to the perfor.
nance of his convenant, and he set up in de-
fence the allegation that the contract was void,
because in contravention of the Neutrality laws
of the United States. The Court sustained this
defence, deciding the contract to be null and
void, and those who advanced the money were
liable to be punished in a criminal prosecution,
Tor violation of the neutrality laws of the Uni
ted States.
