Removal Of the Capitol.

The legality Of the act for the removal
Of The Capitol from Iowa City to TT. Des
Moines has been ably discussed in the
newspapers Of this State. The last argu-
snent we have seen is from the pen Of
THos. w. CLAGaErr, of Kcokuk, and
appears in the "Morning Glory He
takes ground in favor of the legality Of the
law. lie comes to the conclusion that af-
ter the publication Of the law Oh the first
day Of July next it will go into effect as
a constitutional enactment And after
that time it will be the duty Of the Gov
crnor to appoint Commissioners to locate
the Capitol according to the provisions OF
the law.
We have neither the ability nor the dis
position to discuss the legal question in
yolyed. But as a mere outsider, but little
acquainted with political affairs in Iowa,
VIC cannot but think the act of removal
was somewhat hastily and inconsiderately
passed. The matter is one Of much I'M
portance to the people Of the State at
large, and one, in the consideration OF
which outside influence and schemes OF
individual aggrandizsment, should not in
tcrfere. The Legislative body that pre-
sumed to act upon SO grave and important
matter should have shaken off the le'
gions Of spectators who must be deeply
interested in a removal to any point in the
State.
Burlington has no interest in the ques
ton of removal, save and except that O
securing the best location. Should the lie
gality of this act be sustained and The
Capitol located as contemplated by the
law, will this object have been secured ?
In the first place, should it be judiciously
located, within the limits contemplated BY
the law, it is very probable that the PEG
pie Of the State would generally acquiesce
But on the contrary, should it be so loca
ted, as apparently to favor certain lane
holders, and for the apparent purpose o
putting money in the pockets of individ
uals, q good deal of excitement and jus
indignation will unquestionably find utter
.anee. And the next Legislature will b
very apt to repeal the law and make ney
location
but as the Capitol question is one tina
has consumed much of the time of thu
General Assembly, we should like to SCI
itpermancntly settled by judicious loca
ton, in the propriety and equity of which
there should be a general ac2uiescence.-
Measures could then be taken for TIT
erection Of permanent public buildings
schemes of speculation would be aban
doned, and the puplic mind no longer bar
raised by projected removals.

A Great Geographic Achicvcment.

The completion and successful working of
the Magnetic Telegraph of Morse, astonished
the world. But even that great achievement
did not exhaust the inventive powers which
have been turned in this direction. Improve
ments, extensions, and expansions are contin-
ually being made. The last noticeable achieve
ment is that of the successful working of the
Sub Marine Telegraph. Intelligence has
just been received of still another great tri-
umph of American ingenuity-of the talent
of our countrymen for converting the discov-
cries Of science into servants in the ordinary
concerns of life. The telegraph is establish
ed almost wthout break of line, from Lon
don across Europe under the Black Sea, into
leagues-or about four-ffths Of the distance
between New York and Liverpool, and more
than equal to the entire distance from Hall
fax to Ireland. The English newspapers
contain intelligence from Balaklava Of the
previous day, and it should reach this coun-
try from the Crimea in two DAYS. The SUBJ
marine is laid down three hundred miles in
the Black sea, and scientific men in Europe,
have expressed confident opinion that it
will not be seriously affected by under cur
rents or other distractions. Ii practical ex-
perence shall confirm these opinions the
matter is settled-we shall have a telegraph
under the Atlantic, connecting the Old and
New Worlds by an almost instantaneous
communication. What cannot science and
human ingenuity combined, accomplish? Who
shall place limit to their achiev ements-to
their triumphs. Chicago Democrat.

Hugh Miller thinks that owing to some
change in the Gulf Stream, nearly oil Britain
was once submerged in a sub-artic ocean,
and that it existed as scattered archipele-
go of wintry Islands. And yet there are evil
dences that, at remoter period still. Britain
was above the water, existing as larger
country, and enjoying tropical climate
Then the elephant, the rhinoceros; the hip
popotamus, the hyena and the tiger infested
the British jungles. In the course of thirteen
years, two thousand elephants tusks and
grinders have been gathered from the sea bot
tom of the Norfolk coast. These elephants
must have belonged to a number Of genera
tions, and roamed over vast area.

WHISPERS. editress of the Lancaster
Literary Gazette says she would as soon nes-
tie her nose in a rats nest of swingle tow, as
allow a man with whiskers to kisshcr.
We don't believe word Of it! The OBJ
jections which some ladies have to whiskers
all arise from envy. They don't have any.
They would if they could, but the fact is the
continual motion of the lower jaw is fatal to
their growth. The ladies' God bless them
adopt our fashion as fast as they can.
Look at the depredations the dear creatures
have committed on our wardrobe the last
few years. They have appropriated our shirt
bosoms, gold studs, and all. They have en-
circlcd their soft bewitching neck in our
standing collars and cravats-driying Us men
to fiatties and turn downs. Their innocent
little hearts have been FACILITATING in the m
side Of our waistcoats, instead of humping
against the outside as naturally intended.
They have thrust their pretty feet and ankles
through cur unmentionables- unwhisperables
-unthinkaboutablcs In short, as Micaw-
Der would say, breeches. And they are skip
ping along the streets in our high-heeled
boots. DO you hear, gentlemen? We say
boots.

The case of Joseph Hiss. arrested, yester-
day for debt, was brought before the Court
this morning and on motion of the plaintiff
counsel, the habeas corpus was dismissed.
This proceeding is said to have originated on
the ground that Judge Shaw would require
sworn affidavit, that the whole case was gen.
uine and not trumped up for any other pnr-
pose than the collection Of debt. This is
probably the last appearance Of Joseph Hiss
on any stage.
