relieve the Treasury from ut least the ex
psnss OF paying Congrsssmcn per diem To-
attending to such business, which in the ag
grcgatc amounts to more in q single day,
than the claim itself. II will also enable
the clainant to have his claim adjusted with

Agents which surrounds Congress, and

Ike anything.
Great interest is manifested hcrs in the
election pending in the Legislature ofiowa,
for United States Senator. Our latest
dispatches show the contest narrowed down
to one between Messrs. Harlan & Cook,
the former receiving 45 and the latter a.
with 10 seatthring votes. 1t was supPos-
ed preceding the meeting Of the Legislature,
that Mr.. Warren would be the successful
candidate, but this wasH mere newspaper
rumor. It is to be hoped that tbs Wing
who may be- elected, will come to the Sem
ate with adesire play no second part The
Iowa delegation in both branches, stand da-
serveLly high, in their devotion to business,
and especially to the interests of Iewa.-
They make NJ prctensions TO display as or.
ators, and consume but very little time at
speech making, but they cork, and hawsver
much they may differ in politics, when
the interests Of Ioro are involved, they are
united.
A difference in political views, happily,
il not incompatible with those social amen
tiles, which unite men BY the ties Of per-
sonal friendship, and assuage the strife OF
partizanship. It's certainly not charac-
tcristic of the Wing party, to denouncs pc.
liteal opponents, indiscrim ina,sIy and deny
them the possession Of any virtue. Differ

The present session, cheerfuly add nv
tribute, 10 his un,iring devotion to the per-
fermancs of the duties of his distinguished
post. He has been faithful Senator, to
tho interests Of Iowa and the interests OF

10 TIE Cilisens Of Davenport:

To the Cilfsens of Davenport:
Gantlemen:-T have
received copy Of resolutions adopted at n
public meeting held in Davenport on the
30.h ult., instructing me to support dr. f.
Cook as successor t, A. c. Dodge in the
United States Senate. have also received
from Mr.. Thorington large number of
signatures making the same request. II
would give NJ. great pleasure if could i'm
mcdately and Internationally comply with
your request, which have no doubt you
may consider reasonable aud proper but !
cannot look at it in that ligh, and feel
satisfied that when / SGT forth the true po-
sitlon of this question, that every high
minded and honorabs citizen OF Scott coun-
ty and OF tina State of Iowa will sustain m
in the course that have felt it my priyi-
logo and daty to pursue.
In placing myself properly before the
people, it will be necessary to refer to the
past proceedings in this Legislature. AT
an early day after it assembled, the mate
met the House in joint session to elect a
United States Senator and Judges at this
period there was no concert of action
amongst the Anti-N ebraska members. The
consequence was that members voted for
Mr.. Warren, Mr.. Butler, Mr.. Howell, Mr..
Harlan, myself and seven others voting for
Mr.. Cook. All were satisfied that without
some concert Of action no person could be
elected. Notice was given for an hnti-Ne-
braska temperance caucus. knowing that
was run and elected with those issues
before tho people, considered it my duty
to aid in carrying out those principles by
| securing a Senator and bench Of JuIges
who were sound on those questions On
the caucus ass embing, members announced
tor | announced Mr. Cook and supported
! him until he with m my othars were dropped
andsr the rule which we had adopted, which
was to throw of the candidate having the
| lowest number of votes at each ballot after
the second. On the seventh ballot James
Harlan received a majori,y Of all the Anti
Nebraska votes and was then unanimously
declared the nominee. There were in this
convention members of both the old politi-
cal parties, but all endorsed the nomination.
The caucus also nominated bench oil
Judges, selecting men only who were ablo
10 give evidence through their friends OF
their soundncss on the leading questions
that were before the people last August.

CT 1t is reported of Napoleon that, when
Mt Eylau, he took diamond star from his
breast and placed it upon that Of n young
medical officer. In deadly charge the day
before, thousands were wounded; at last the
serried lines of the French gave way, and re-
treated by series Of mannuvres, in one Of
which, amongst dead and dying, a surgeon
was seen suddenly called to General ter
ribly wounded. A large artery was opened
cold and harrassed the surgeon kneeled By
his patient; shouts were raised on all sides
for him To save himself: the battalions of the
enemy literally rode over him; the bullets of
the opposing army whistled in hundreds by
his ears; still he pressed on the artery, and
ultimately saved the life Of the young Off
Ger. A bitter cold night followed a more
frightful day; the surgeon crunched the snow
in his hands and applied it to the wound
Napoleon seeing him next day, the diamond
cross was placed on his breast.
