Another State Printing Operation

Another instance Of the negligent
and careless manner in which the
affairs of the State are conducted by
the black republican officers who con
troll them, is the fact that the acts OF
the past session Of the Legislature,
which by the requirements of the law
should have been printed and distribu-
tee in June last, have now Just begun
to make their appearance. The neglect
of the State Printer and the persons
whose duty it is to see that the laws
are executed, has already been the
cause of much trouble to the Courts
who we're ignorant Of the changes made
IN ole laws or Of the existence of new
attachments.
To this unwarrautable neglect Of the
plain requirements of law by the State
printer, must be attributed all the ne
ccssarily improper decisions made in
consequence of an ignorance of the
enactments Of the Legislature, and all
the difficulty and expense to suitors
consequent upon the necessity of an o..
peal to right them.
AT the door Of the republican officers,
also, must the blame of the misappre-
henslon which has existed regarding
our Stay laws and their injurious effect
upon our credit abroad, be placed. 1t
was known that law had been passed
creating an appearance tesm and that
it amounted in reality to a ''stay" of
six months; but the fact that 1t was to
expire by its own limitation on the first
OF January next, was, in consequence Of
the violation of duty of the State
printer, unknown, and hence the par
agraphs which have been floating about
in almost every paper in the country,
that there is not now much chance to
collect debt in Iowa unless the debtor
is honest"
But notwithstanding this plain yio-
lation of duty on the part OF the prn-
ter, We presume that extra John Pattce.
in pursuance of the arrangement by
which he overpaid the last State Prin-
ter some ten thousand dollars, will |
audit the full bills of the present orin-
ter

are satisfied that our county jail with
out much additional enlargement or
expense, instead Of being a heavy bur-
den TO tax payers, might become self

might become self sustaining under

We hope and trust that our wise ::
acres who assemble at TT, DesMoines,
will let bleeding Kansas" aud the
"Dred Scott" decision alone, long
enough to do up some legislation for

Marshall News Death.Scene.

The vengeance Of the Allied Powers
demands some victims; and the intrepid
Nev who had well nigh put the crown
again on Bonaparte's head at Waterloo,
was to be one of them. Condemned to
be shot, he was led to the Garden of Lu-
xemburg on the morning of the 9TH of
December, and placed in front Of file
of soldiers drawn up to killhim. One of
the officers stepped up to bandage his
eyes, but he stopped him, saying: "Are
YOU ignorant that for twenty-five years
have been accustomed to face both ball
and bullet" He then lifted his hat
above his head, and with the same calm
voice that had steaded his columns so fire.

that never betrayed my country-may

battles for France, not one against her,

the spot where he fell, l could not but
sigh over his fate. True, he broke his
oath of allegiance, so did others, carried
away by his attachment to Napoleon, and
the enthusiasm that hailed his approach
to Paris; still he was no traitor.

Wanted q Live Woman.

Punch thus expresses his distress at the
disappearance of women from the face of
the earth;
There are no woman nowadays. In
stead of women, we have towering edi-
fees of silk, lace and flowers. You see
milliner's advertizing van that slides
along with a rustling sound, and you are
told it is woman; but as you cannot ap-
proach within several yards of the monster
obstruction, you cannot tell what it is, be-
yond something that looks like a shop
front put into a motion with all the goods
in it exposed for sale. l really believe
if any Snowman would open an exhibition
where one could see a woman such as
women were in my younger days, when
they used to be fair, slender, graceful,
well proportioned and every thing that
was beautiful; instead of the animated

fine clothes, that they now are-I really
believe that an enterprising Snowman
like that would rapidly realize a large
fortune.

the table, began to beckon every waiter
whose eye he could catch, but no one,

would take some ham.
Ham + exclaimed he, with most pro-
found astonishment, 'doyou 'spose, sirrah,
l can eat five dollars worth of ham ,
