In the Legislature, last winter, there
was bill presented to increase the sala-
ry of the governor and State officers. -
Nota Democrat in the House noted agqinst
this bill.
ANOTHER PIE.-To the bill mak;a0 a
further appropriation Of 100, 600 for the
Insane Asylum, an amendment was Of
fered by Mr.. Mann, striking out 800.
600 and substituting 100000. Against
this amendment stands the recorded vote
of Henry Hoffman Trimble. On the final
passage of the bill, the same H. H. Trim

kindest cut of all. that Neal. the swind-

He is every day laundering out his
anathemas against the Republicans for
bringing about the negotiation for this
loan and he has not honesty enough

E1- The inquiry will probably arise
in some minds, as to whether it will be
proper to vote for State, District, County,
and Township Officers all upon the same
ballot, or whether there should be separ-
ate ballots for each class of officers. The
new election law makes no change in this
regard, and it will therefore be lawful and
proper to have but one ballot, and vote
for all officers upon the same ticket
There is another matter to which we
desire to call the attention of the Town
ship Boards of Canvassers.
Sec. 267 of The Code requires that ga
return shall be made in each poll book
setting forth, in Words written at fill
length, the whole number of ballots cast
for each officer" &c. This provision
has been heretofore disregarded in good
many instances. by the returns being
made in figures instead of words, which
is abundant reason for throwing out the
returns, if the Board of County Canvass
ers think proper to do SO. There is a
possibility, therefore, that unless care is
hereafter taken to make the returns con-
form to this provision of the Code. that
the result of an election may be chang
ed. and the will of the people thwaited.
Another point Of neglect of which Town
ship canvassers are frequently guilty, and

doubt it, because the amount Of tax this
year is much less in that county than it
was last In 1857, the State tax OF Van
Buren, was $7,422,19, while in 1858 it
is but S6, aa2,73, making decrease of
81 1889, 46. In the ten counties spoken
of, the increase in the tax is between two
and three thousand dollars, while the de-
crease in the other seventy four counties
is over one hundred thousand dollars
No amount of circumlocutory reasoning
will enable Mr.. BARKER, or any other
Democrat, to get round the fact that the
State Tax is this year reduced one-quar-
ter, and that the people of Iowa are this
year taxed one hundred thousand Dollars
less than they were last year. And yet.
in the face Of this, we are asked to take
the Government from the hands Of those
now entrusted with it, and place it in
the keeping of the party who pilfered
sixty thousand dollars from the School
Fund, and are giving us an exemplifica-
ton of their peculiar economy, in the
management Of the Federal Finances,
running the yearly expenditures of the
National Government up to one hundred
millions of dollars

As any Legislative measures, which pre-

attorney at Law, Davenport, Io,ca.
DEAR SIR Your note Of the 9th in
slant, together with an enclosed com mu-
nication from Morris Schottenfeld and
Others, came to hand to-day.
You desire to know, whether, in case
ofmy election, would, as a member Of
Congress, oppose any attempt to extend
the time now required by law for the ma.
turalization of foreigners and whether
| would favor a proposition requiring ad
ditional time after naturalization, as a
qualification for voting.
In reply have to say, that am con
tent with the period now prescribed by
law, for the naturalization of persons oI
foreign birth, and were I member oil
Congress | should not hesitate to oppose
any effort that might be made to extend
the time,
In reply to the other inquiry, have
to say, that | deem it peculiarly subject
for State Legislation, but am free to con.
Tess, that when admitted to citizenship
know of no reason why man should
be subjected to further probation as q
qualification for voting. l certainly
would not discriminate, in this particu.
lar, between citizens of native and citi
zens of foreign birth. Is
Very respectfully. your ob't servant,

cry Is faiseu, anu tue uear people are
very disnnterestedly warned against
thieves and plunderers.
The only other matter of any promi-
hence, upon which Mr. BARKER, touched
was in reference to the reputed decrease
in State tax for the present year, and in
speaking of this, he tried very hard to
make the audience believe that while the
per centage of tax had been reduced, the
Board of Equalization had raised the as
sessment in the different counties sufficient
to bring the amount of tax up to sum
equaling that raised last year. TO prove
this. he instanced the case Of Van Buren,
county, where, although the rate of taxa
ton had been lowered one half mill. vet
the assessment had been increased ~
per cent, really making the tax of that
county much greater than it was the year
previous. He assumed therefore, that
the assertion that the tax had beer re-
duced the present year was all humbug.
Now Mr.. BARKER, could not failed to
have seen the AUDITORS list, published in
almost every paper in the State, contain
ing comparison of the amount of tax
raised in each county last year with that
to be raised this year. and knew well
that the exhibit there made shows that
the taxes were increased in but ten coun-
ties, while in the other seventy four
counties it is largely diminished
Whether the assessment was raised 72
per cent. in Van Buren, county, or not,
we are unable to say, but very much
