NOT 50 GENEROUS.

We last week copied a section of IAN
act 10 establish the officers of Surveyor.
General of New Mexico, Kansas and
Nebraska, to grant donations to actual
settlers therein, and for other purposes"
and supposed tina. this section applied to
Kansas and Nebraska as we'll as New
Mexico. But such seems not to be the
fact. Tha. part of the bill which makes
donations Of lands to actual settlers
applies only to the territory of New
Mexico. Settlers who wan, lands in
Kansas or Nebraska will have 10 pay
ST. 25 per acre for them.
This shows the liberali,y of the
South. They offer land to free white
settlers in New Mexico, where no hon.
est white man con make a living, bu,
take great care TO keep them from going
to Nebraska and Kansas on the same
terms.
This is a fair specimen Of Southern
generosity and Northern doughfaceism
Of which Dodge, Jones and Hem are
fair representatives. Their course, how.
ever, has been signally rebuked by the
people Of Iowa. No such meh can rep
resent Iowa after this.

ToADYIsM.-It is a little amusing to
read the Haukeye since the election. II
A.blows no, and cold'' in the same breath.
Confidently believing that its apossacy,
and the tremendous efforts it made, would
'demolish the entire Wing party, it crows
Justify over their supposed defeat, sty
ling the Wings "Wooly heads" ''mush.
seom woolies," &C., &c. But as soon
as j. finds that the Locofocos, (for whom
ii has been a faithful tool,) have been
eou,ed completely, it turns its tune and
tries by a "soft solder article 10 make
fair weather with the Wings, and to sci
Browning up on his fegs again! Gu,
upon such q silly, Pharisaical sheet! The
Hamkeye need not endeavor to ingratia,e
itself into the good opinions of the Wing
party again; it will have to keep compa'
ny with the Dispatch, Gazette, and Other
sheets Of its ilk, and they should re
ward their supple tool.

The Des Moines. Improvement.

The Warsaw Qlls.) Express says:
"a few weeks since ia was announced
that a difficulty had arisen which would
prevent The consummation of the con-
tract entered into by MIR. O'Riellv for the
improvement Of the navigation OF the
Des Moines River. Hon. A. Hunt, on
the part Of certain eastern capitalists, a
few weeks ago came Gut and took a
reconnaissance Of the river with a view
OF ascertaining the practicabilily of the
improvement, its probable cost, the val
ue Of the land donated to the State of
Iowa for the purpose, and the prosrec.
tive profit OF the work when DONE
After examining the river, Mr., II. told
The commissioners that the work could
not be undertaken unless the use of the
improvement was granted to The con,rac.
tors for seventy.ive years. The com-
missioners were 10th to come To these
terms-havipg already made a contract
with Mr.. O'Rielly for a much shorter
period. MIR. II. was firm in his demands
and the commissioners finally gave in, as
we are informed, and a contract has now
been entered into with responsible parties
for The completion Of the entire work.
The contractors TO have the land and all
the proceeds of the improvement for
sc twenty-five gears. Mr.. O'Rielly was
bought of. and all difficulties removed
from the early prosecution of the work."
We notice ,ha, the above paragraph
is going the rounds of the papers, and as
there arc some statements in il which are
not true, we think it bes, TO correct
them. .a.s
In the first place, then, no difficulty
euer occurred between the Commission
ers and the River Company. And, in
the second place, The commissioners ex.
tended the time Of possession by the
company in consideration of the tnlarge-
ment of the Locks built and to be built;
which arrangement was made without
difficulty, and gave entire satisfaction to
all concerned.
Ii is true that a contract has been en-.
tered into by responsible parties for the
early completion Of the work; but the
statement that Mr.. O'RIELLY has been
bought off, is no, true. This, doubtless,
emen ateJ from the brain OF the editor OF
the Express, and no where else.
Mr.. O'RIELLY is still connected with
the improvement, and, we doubt, no,
will continue to lend his energies 10 the
work until It is completed as agreed up
on by HIM and his associates.

AZ The high officials OF the Demo-
cratic government OF the United States
are indeed setting an elevated moral
example Tor the imitation oi the people
OF The country, and the admiration OF
the whole world. A late steamer brings
the intelligence that Mr.. Soule, The
American Minister at the Court OF
SPAN, has been fighting duel with The
Marquis de Turgot, the French ambas-
sador /; and young Soule, son Of the Am:
bassador, has also Tough, duel with
the Duke OF Alba, Spanish nobleman.
And all this display Of chivalry is made
in consequence OF some remark on the
part Of these foreigners IN regard to the
peculiarly Of Madame Soule's dress at
Court Ball. This, 10 be sure, is very
pretty conduct for the representative OF
the American government ata foreign
court and all about the very import
ant matter ofa woman's dress 1t 10
precisely what might have been expect
ed from such a fiillbustering cha acrer
az this Soule (; the President dlsgraced
his own country and insulted Spain
when he sent this man abroad on such
a mission. Spain would have been en-
tirely justified had she refused 10 have
received Soule as our minister and il
she had pursued this course, il would
Rave spared our country much disgrace
which she will probably have to suffer
in consequence OF the conduct OF Soule
hereafter. But his is not the end oi the
chapter in regard to the bulles OF The
present Administration. The telegraph
announces to us that Jefferson Davis,
the Secretaey OF War, hes cent, or is
about to send, a challenge to a duel to
Mr.. Toombs, Senator from Georgia.-
Here is a member Of The Cabinet aud
grave and dignifed Serator going out
to shoot al each other but, perhaps,
they will arrange matters az safely as
Soule did, SO that ho one will be inj ur-
ed. When piH American people learn
to put others except bulIies and black
guards at the head OF the government

ant positions
