CHEERING PROSPECTS IN IOWA.

The following letter from friend at Burlington, IN
der date July 10 gives bright picture of the farmers
prospects in that rich young State:
1.-THE crops in this vicinity are beyond precedent.
II is as glorious a sight ever witnessed TO look
uIon the immense fields of wheat and oats, teeuing
with repetion and now ready for the harvest. Nhe0,
nile after mile as YOU ride back from our town and
behold these fields forming one continuous scene on
ether hand and then reflect upon all the consequences
involved it becomes not only glorious sight to the eye
but an occasion of deep gadDess 10 the hearOf thank
fitness to Him whose bowels OF compassion seem 70
have yoaned so isnicanily toward US. With our vast
increase of population, aside from ought else what
disastrous cOnse quencos would have resulted from u
season Of short crops upon the scarcity previously
isting! Ihave talked with old residents among our
farmers and they all tell me that they never witnessed
more abundant crops. We have lees OF Fall wheat
and Of Spring wheat than usual; but what there

was later than usual is advancing fast and now bids

HOW 1T WORKS.

SO far as we can Judge from the reports which
come to us from all sections Of the State, the
Prohibitory Law is very generally in operation 1t
is true the liquor sellers stand out in few ocali-
ties, and trample on the law in the hope that the
Courts may some time or other pronounce it I'M
constitutonal but these persons are not nuner-
ous and they generally reside in the larger cities,
majority of them being in New.York. There
is very little liquor retailed in the agricultural
districts In the country towns the bars have
generally been closed, and the beneficial effects
are already beginning to be felt.
There is no difficulty in enforcing the law
where there is any disposition to enforce it.
Where the public officers do not themselves
drink-where the police prefer virtue to vice,
and good order to rum and rowdy ism-where the
Judges have any practical regard for sOsriety
ard sound morals-the law is put in force with
out trouble and efficiently executed. Ga the
other hand, where the Judges are hostile TO the
law both personally and ofiicially-wbere the
LAWYERS consider it unconstitutional because
they sre well paid TO do coy, and where its vio-
lation is winked at by the authorities, and all
these are constantly laboring to bring it into
contemplate is of course to some extent dead
letter.
That the lawyers whs have taken it upon
themselves for so many pieces of silver to ssy
that the law is unconstitutional are responsible
in a great measure for the manner in which 1t
is treated in this and other cities is undeniable
And yet their mercenary opinions are of no real
Importance as respects the constitutionality or
unconstitutionaity Of the law. The opinions OF
Richard French or Capt. Rynders are entitled
to as much weight as those of Nicholas Hill or
George Wood, got up as they were to order to
suit customers.
What may be the fate Of the enactment when
it goes into the Courts we do not know. But
this much we do say: no bill could have been
passed for the suppression of the liquor trsfhc
which would not have been pronounced uncon-
stitutional by those who are engaged in the bust
ness Does any one suppose George Wood
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1855-07-18

could bsve drawn up bill for the overthrow OF
intempersnce which he would not as lawyer
have ouarreled with if pad for so doingl Ii
must be evident that the fight is against the princi
nile Of the epactment-aeain,t the simple PROPOSE
tion TO put an end to the liquor traffic. The nodas
operandi is of no consequence. The simple
question to be decided is, whether the traffic IN
liouer shall be continued OF not.
Though We DO not know what the decision Of
the Courts may be touching the cOnstitutonality
of the Prohbitory Law, yet we entertain
scarcely doubt as to what the ultimate result
will be. The traffic in intoxicating liquors is an
unmitiasted curse. This position is admitted BY
every Individual not concerned in the liquor
business; and it seems scarcely possible that
our Courts, which are generally composed OF
upright, worthy men, should take different
view of the subject.
Should different result be arrived at, how
ever, let il not be supposed that the matter is to
end there The People demand PrOhibitory
Law, and they riH hare it in some for n. large
majority of the electors of the State sre op-
posed to the Rum Traffic and are determined that
ii shall be broken up. 1t VIII De idle, therefore,
for the Courts to attempt to stem the current
of public opinion. We look upon it as entirely
certain that the Liquor business is to be over
thrown ultimately in all the Free States, and all
parties may as we'll be making preparations for
this result
If the existing Law conflicts with the COn;ti-
tuition il can and will be made to harmonic
Herewith. But the statute must stand in some
form or other. If it is not perfect it may be
amended, but ii uiu not be repealed. The reform
which it contemplstes is demanded by the spirit
Of the age. 1t is step in the way of progress
which will never be retraced. If this Law fail
rom formal faults or technical demonstrations
t will only briefly postpone the grand event.
The people have condemned the Rum Traffic,
the death warrant is signed, and there is no
appeal The ezeeuti0n ,eiH come.

We are indebted to the artist, NJ. Etex, for pam
phlet in French on the Ant portion OF the Exposition
at Paris. NJ. Etex makes it the medium of commune
eating his ideas on art and artists in general He is
no friend of feminine artists believing that the trials
aud studies women have to undergo in studying art
at least that of human figures, quite unieminlne and
he is of opinion that no woman really excels as an
artist. He is likewise of opinion that artists are
manufactured much too fast without the proper
studies necessary to their vocation, and cites the
ancens to prove the severe and varied labor artists had
then 10 undergo-the painter, sculptor and architect
all being one. OF ancient paintings We would venture
to observe the world knows very little OF course we
here mean the Greek school. We opine that they
were not good and that the glory Of Greece lay in Der
sculpture and architecture; dc we consider that
painting is essential to sculpture, but Is IN It's
very nature an art more subtle, and hence comes
after 1t in tie course Of development. The Greeks
perfected sculpture, but that is no reason that
they understood linear perspective and color as
we understand H. Indeed the quality OF O
sculptor and painter do not generally 60 together,
Michael Angelo being the ilustrious exception to the
rule. painter may be sculptor because he has
TO study lines and forms; but sculptor need not be
painter as he deals neither in perspective nor color,
nor hardly in mposition-sculpture requiring but
little beyond individual figures. We do not think NJ.
Eiex makes out his case. In regard to French Art,
NJ. EteI thinks there is but school-that Of David
all the others being notifications or derivatives of
biz. We DO not agree with NJ. Etex on this point.
David Is mostly hard panter-a classic copyis and
not vitalist A better painter than David is Paul
Deiaroche, and tie greatest craftsman living IS
Horace NerSet-oi NJ ither OF whom NJ Etex takes any
account, but puts NJ Ingres at the head Of all living
French painters; and the superiority of NJ Ingres
over his fellows cannot discover, nor indeed any
approach to the genius of some others.

was appealed FROM but the Chair was sustained.
Resolutions were reported requesting the Legisla-
sure of Missouri to pass act retaiating upon anu

Michigan and Vermont. Major Alvin opposed the
proposition, and considered that any law discnmn-
ang between the products of the different States was
unconstitutional Judge Napton's opinion was called
for on this point but he refused to give it.
President Shannon of the University delivered, on
invitation, Bible argument sustaining Slavery Ills
