Iowa LIQUOR Law.

From The silence Of our exchanges
upon this subject, i, ia impossible to fo,m
an opinion as to whether the liquor law
il producing all the good It's friends ar
sicipated, or whether Wapello county
alone is reaping all the benefit. Occa.
s~ionally we meet with items calculated
to induce the belief tina, in certain loeal
ties no attention is paid to its observance.
The Council Bluffs Ch,onotyp pc says
tina, the phrase "Will you take q glass Of
brandy?" is now rendered. will you
pitch into the prohibitory!'; and the
Fairfield Sentinel, a few weeks since,
expressed the opinion tina, the use of in
,oxisating drinks had not been diminish
ed in that vicinity. The Sentinel, in
deed, comes down upon the law with a
regular horse power ~profundi,y, and
stigRalises it as an unconstitutional
humbug.' He offers no argument in sup
port Of hi. view of the subject. but,
every week or two, grows out an un-
meaning disapproba,ion.
In our own vicinity The operation of
tho law has been attended with the hap
pies, results. and We know of no think.
ing citizen who would desire a return to
The old order Of things. Since the Ash
of July we have had a number Of gath.
erings of the people in our town, all Of
which passed OF sobe.ly, quietly and
happily. The most faslidious lady may
now thread our s.reets.o OF the busyes, day
of the week, without overhearing a word
TO shock her modes,y or beholding aught
to insul. propriety.
That the law has its faults, no one
will pretend to deny. All new laws are
faulty. Perfection is never a product Of
human EXERT IN; and it could not have
been anticipated that a law, covering a
new ield Of legislation. could be made
to suit all the ~exigencies which nigh.
arise under its operation. To point out
and canvas these faults, vithsa view to
their amendment, is the part il a truly
patriotic public press; bu. to ceize upon
them as weapons of destruction, with
which 10 demolish the good sought TO be
attained, is the work of a moral incen.
diary.
A strict enforcement of the law, as II
now reads, would prohibit the sale OF
spirits even by the county agents, until
the first Monday in May next. Until
tina. ii me, the appointment, 10 an agency.
by a county Judge, is Of no more &C
coun Than if coming from any other per.
son. Section Sd Of the law provides
for the appointment Of Agents on the frs,
Monday in May, and for filling yacan
cieS, 0d interim, in cases OF removal.
As, however, the law did no, take effect
until The 4th of July, and makes no pro-
,ision for the appointment. Of Agents,
except in cases Of removal, on any other
day than the frat Monday ia May, a
legislative act will be required to legalize
the do'ngs of our presen. Agents, and
popular sentiment must be relied upon 10
sustain them until this legislative plaster
can be applied. This il, by ear the
greatest imperisciion we have observed
in the Law; and. perhaps this wrinkle
may be wiped out by some Of our legal
friends. Win they lsok to il!

EI Dorado Death Spring,

This name is given to spring in this
county, by the Placerville american. Its
waters are said to flow from bed of arse
mic. That paper says
"COl. Henderson, County Surveyor of Ell
Dorado, and resident of our CITY, has in
his possession specimen of.auriferous ore
OF Arsenic; which he will show to any one.
interested in the Development of the miner
al wealth of Ell Dorado county. This spe-
cimen. has a bright siIvery appearance, with
particles of gold mixed; the bulk of the spe-
cimen however is the bright ore of Arsenic.
One specimen carefully analyzed, Welded
eight dollars of pure gold to the single fb. of
ore, while numerous specimens yielded $3.50
of gold to the pound
But the most striking feature of it all is.
the vastness of the deposit. We are assur-
ed by Col. Henderson that it is h1rty feet
thick, 1--WE use no figures in this, that our
readers may not mistake u.s. and crops out
above the surface of the ground. We
would not convey the impression that all of
this vast deposit contains gold; but that
there are veins in it, exceedingly rich.
"Col. Henderson, like a sensible man,
keeps the matter of locality entirely to him
self, considering that his fortune is there,
waiting only an opportunity for its devel-
opement. Here then is field for the cap
italist; bed of auriferous ore of Arsenic
thirty feet thick, and of unknown extent
Is it surprising then, that gold miners upon
the placers in that vicinity, at an early day,
drinking the sweet arsenical waters, should
be seized with fevers, and burning thirst,
which from day to day increased until their
graves marked tie spot of their sojourn?"
