CAPITAL InVeStigatiO N

We learn from the Desmoines Citizen that
the special committee appointed by the
House OF Representatives to investigate the
alleged frauds in the location of the State
Capitol report that besides twenty acres OF
land, various persons, proprietors of lands,
&c, offered, or gave the Commissioners no.
tice that they would offer, $500, 600 worth,
of real estate, as an inducement or bonus to
the State for the location Of the Capitol on
the west side Of the Des Moines river On
the charge that the Commissioners were I'M
properly Influenced, the Committee report
that the principal witnesses relied upon by
the memoriaiists, viz: Messrs. Baldwin,
Scott, Williamson and Mitchell, refused to
testify on important points of the investiga-
ton, and consequently the subject is left in
the dark. The Committee, however, state
that enough has been elected to implcate
Mr.. Pegram, who was Influenced, say they,
in making the location, by personal and
private considerations. None OF the other
Commissioners are charged in the Report
with completely in fraud and corruption
and with regard to the fifth Commissioner,
Mr., Goodrich, the Report states "there ap~
pears to be nothing in the testimony impl-
eating him in the frauds alleged in the second
charge. 1t does appear that he purchased
property near the Capitol site after the loca-
ton was made, as Of course he had right
to do" A minority report is made by Mr..
Nc Crary, who conceiyes that the question
requiring decision was, whether the Com
mlssioners knouingly and Intentionally dis
the best interests of tho entiro
state He believes that the charges of cor.
ruption are sustained, SO far as they apply to
Mr.. Pegram, but not as to the other Com
missioners. The Commissioners to whom
was intrustsd the duty OF locating the seat
Of government were j. Il. D. Street, Stewart

ENGL1s1I's SCHEME. New York Even-

which is none in appearance, and the other
making the appearance of sacrifice which
is none in reality.

CITY OF MUSCATlNE:
James Til Orinrt ON.

The Davenport Gazette recommends
james Thorington, of Scott county, former
Congressman, rs the man to be nominated
by the Republican Convention of this Dis
trict for re- election to that important Office.
We regret to disagree with our Republican
contemporaries on any subject whatever, and
more particularly on questions of party
policy, but we must most unqualifedly dis
sent from the Gazettes recommendation in
this instance. We were aware that Mr.
Thorington has been industriously laboring
for this nomination and obtaining the pledges
of many good men to support him, but we
had thought it unnecessary, so long as he
conducted his electioneering privately, to
say anything publicly prejudicial to his
interests. But now that the question has
got into the papers, and that his home organ
has indirectly invited discussion of his
claims for the honor, we feel called upon to
speak candidly concerning him.
Wehavebuta slight personal acquaintance
with Mr. Thorington. We believe him to be
a gentleman and worthy man in his proper
sphere. But we might name very many
good Republicans in this district whose
qualifications for seat in Congress are not
whit below his, and who are equally de-
serving. They are not ce-seekers, but
that does not make them less acceptable to
the people. If Mr.. Thorington or his friends
suppose that because he was elected when
the District was considered Democratic,
he can be elected now when it is decidedly
Republican, we assure them that they are
calculating without their host. We know
something of the sentiment Of the people
and it is not because we GLOVE Casa less
but Rome more'- not because we have any
personal animosity towards Mr.. Thorington,
but because we have an anxious concern for
the success of our party and our principles,
that we oppose him.
Feeling assured, then, that Mr. Thoring-
ton is neither the ablest nor the most avail
able Republican that can be nominated, we
at this early period in the canvass enter our
earnest protest against selecting him as the
Republican standard bearer We have no
particular choice of our own, neither do we
make locality test in the matter. Any
good, able and auailable Republican will be
acceptable to us, let him come from the
north, south or centre.

A TINE To REsr.-There lies in the depths
of every heart, that dream of youth, and
the chastened wish of manhood, which neilh-
er honors nor cares can extiuguish the hope
of one day resting from the pursuits which
absorb rs; Of interposing between our old
age and the tomb some tranquil interval of
reflection, when with feelings rot subdued
but softened, with passions not exhausted
but mellowed, we may look calmly on to
the past without regret, and to the future
without apprehension. But in tbs tumult
of the world, this vision forever and forever
recedes as We approach it; the passions
which have agita,ed for life, disturb our
latest hours and We go down to the tomb
like the sun in the ocean, with no gentle
and gradual source which gave it rise, but
sullen in its boamless descent, with all its
fiery glow long after it has lost its power

What II TOler8M cG

A correspondent, whose request to insert
certain notice to the public VIC declined,
writes:
II am not an advocate of Free Love, as I
now understand it-but | am an advocate Of
free and full discussion of ali subjects,
religious as well rs political. Any doctrine
that can stand the test of common sense and
sound reason is worthy of notice, and l hold
that no other is. Now, if this new sect has
no claims to either, it is very shallow, indeed
But would it not be well to give them a
hearing9 All reforms, especially in matters
of religion, have met with serious opposi-
ton"
Our correspondent, with many other WELL
meaning persons, has fallen into grave
error in regard to what is tolerance. We,
too, are an advocate OF tolerance, but not
such tolerance as he advocates. We are not
tolerant Of evil, but OF opinion whore there
is reasonable ground for difference. The
doctrine Of the new sect referred to unms-
taka5ly tends to the subversion of the foun-
dation of peace and good order in society.
1t cannot be otherwise thar pernicious, aud
therefore should not be tolerated. AS well
might the bawdy house keeper, or any other
violator of law, claim s'tolerance.'
We hold, further. that it is wrong to listen
to any of the so-called arguments" in favor
of such doctrine; for while they may have
no effect on the minds of those whose judg-
ments are matured, there are many of the
young, with susceptible and impressive
minds, who may be fascinated and led astray
by their sophistry. The following lines Of
Pope are not only good poetry but good
sense
"Vicc is monster Of such hideous mien,
Tint, to be hated, needs but be seen,
But seen to-, oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace"
1t is an abuse OF terms to call ''Free Love"
a religious reform, or to presupPose that it
may possibly stand the test of reason and
common sense. 1t is best to reject at once
that doctrine which we know to be system.
of error. No good can result from tolerating
it. while great evil may be the consequence.

Thursday without coming to vote on Mr..
English's Conference bill as was expected
The Lecomptonites in the House seemed
fearful of defeat. Mr.. Stephens, of Geor-
gia, moved an adjournment, which was op-
posed by the opposition, but carried by a
majority of two. A vote was doubtless
reached yesterday, and it was probably in
favor of the English bride, although we
think by a close vote,

Iowa SENAToRs.-The New York Tribune
has the following reference to our United
States Senators, present and prospective:
In our recent notice of the Lecompton de-
bate in the Senate, we did not quite exhaust
the subject. Mr.. Ha La, of Iowa, made an
excellent speech, to which some Of his COL
leagues have even applied the term ''great."
He is a most worthy member Of the senate,
sngularly unobtrusive for a man of his mer-
its, and ore who never fails to meet the
highest expectations of his friends when he
engages in debate. His colleague, Mr.. Jones,
never makes speeches, except in private, and
then, it report speaks truly, mainly to the
ladies. His place will be something more
than filed by his successor, who will follow
him in the next Congress, with an enviable
reputation for sterling worth and integrity.
