Political sngacity OF tho Republican Press.

Political Sagacity Of tho Republican Press.
We will not ascribe bad motives to good
actions, and therefore, while commenting
the political sagacity of of the Burlington
Hark-eye Davenport Gazette, Musaatine
Journal, Vinton Eagle and other Republic
can newspapers; and therefore organs of
the dominant party in Iowa, for the manly
stand they have taken in the recent discus
sions of n State Loan, we do not wish to be
understood as intimating that political con-
siderations have induced them to take that
position. Rather would We believe that the
principles of vital democracy which, under
our form Of government, must pervade every
mind, have influenced them in their opposi-
ton to tho great monstrosity which specu-
lators seek to force upon the people of Iowa.
However that may be, it is not now under
consideration Ms our only object is to say
now, that State debt for our Railroad pur-
poses, is ga dead cock in the pis'-that the
papers VIC have mentioned have shown po-
iitical sagncity, which entities them to the
respect of their party and the thanks of the
taxpayers. Should the plans of the sdebt'
men succeed, they might be unpopular for
awhile but when the taxes begin to pinch
them, they will receive from the people the
credit they merit.
As apolitician, we could have desired that
they had left the duty of killing this corrupt
monster to the people and the Democratic
press; but as taxpayer, we thank them
warmly for their efficient aid in preventing
the adoption of most disastrous State pol
icy. Had the Republican press and Republi-
can politicians unite in favor of this scheme
of plumber, there is not salt enough in the
universe to have saved the Republican party
in Iowa from slaughter and putrefaction.-

ted"
WHEREAS, a proposition requesting the
Governor of Iowa to call an extra session
of the Legislature, with view to take in.
to consideration the propriety of extend
ing State aid to our Railroads is now be.
fore the people; therefore,
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Wood.

hereby most cordially and earnestly unite
with our fellow citizens in other counties in
requesting the Governor to issue his pro-
clamation fer copyenipg the General AS
Sembly at an car y day for the purpose indi-
Gated.
Resolved, That the best interests of our
people imperatively demand the active pros-
ecution of those roads that are acknov lodged
to be of general Importance to the State,
and that there are no grounds for q reason
able hope for such a oonsummation except
in the manner contemplated by this move
ment.
RESOLVED, That VIC believe plan is feast
BILE for extending State aid to those roads
with such safe guards as will guarantee the
State against loss or pecuniary embarrass-
ments, while it will secure the certain and
speedy completion Of the roads, and thus
result in immense benefit to the people.
The Council Bluffs nonpareil. [volume] (Council Bluffs [Iowa]) 1857-1867, 1858-12-18

The supreme Court made a very impor.
that decision on Tuesday last. On IN ap.
peal from Dubuque county, tho Court dccid-
ed that the main portion Of the School Law
passed at the General Assembly is unconsti
tutional, and consequently void. The
ground taken We understand, is that the
Board of Education have the sole right
under the constitution, to originate School
Laws, and the General Assembly exceeded
their powers in passing the late law. Hence
the only portions of the law which are CON
stitutional are those relating to school fund
taxes and appropriations. The decision Of
the Court has not yet been filed, and hence
we cannot give synopsis of the decision.
The effect of the decision will be to throw
all our school officers out of Office, and will
cause much trouble and confusion. The
Board of Education will doubtless pass a
law Immediately to keep our schools in op-
peration and prevent confusion, but how far
they can 60 remains to be determined.
In the meantime we advise all the officers
to continue on in the discharge of their du-
ties till notified further by their superors
in Office. We trust the Board of Education
will act promptly and decidedly, for the pur-
pose of preventing SO great calamity as
the suspension of our schools-especial!y at
this time, when they are all commencing
the winter .crm.-Dss Nome JouraGl.

The Crescent City Oracle Of the 10th inst,
contains two letters from the mines, one
from NJ. d. Downs to Capt. Kennedy, and
dated Nov. 10th, 1853, the other from a
gentleman of reliability, who is stopping at
the new town Of Montana; his letter Is dated
Nov. It'll.
Mr.. Downs states, that there are plenty Of
men there and the country is filing up rap
idly. "There is plenty Of gold here, and
miners are making from 50 to SIS per day,
With pans, and from $40 to $50 with slut
ces."
The other latter states, that "the bed rock
here is of sand stone, lying from one to ten
feet below the surface. This is oyer!aii
With gravel and boulders the face Of the
country is uneven. being cut up with ravines
and valleys and in these the best diggings are
found. The geld on the prairies 10 all aoat
gold as the miners call it; showing that We
have not yet found the source Shenec it orig
mates. 1t lies SO evenly scattered all over
the country that it is impossible to wash
pan of dirt from the bed rock without ind
ing more or less gold"
