DEsMoNEs, Jan. 18Th, 1853.
FRE>D TINES:
You will sec by the papers that both houses
Of the General Assembly are organized and
have started off in the discharge of their Leg
islativc duties. AS we have outgrown the Code
of Iowa, rev system of Laws is 10 be inaugu-
ratcd, our practice law will undergo an entire
change. the attachment law which is now bleed
ing Iowa, will tc abolished. The ruin which
has followed in the trail of its operations for
the past year, will long be remembered. The
summary mode of closing Mortgages by the
Sheriff, will bc modified, and the right of re-
demption extended in time, and so as to reach
Deeds Of Trust. An effort will be made to
give to our County Courts civil jurisdiction to
the amount Of five hundred dollars, Probate and
Criminal Jurisdiction in all petty offences, plac-
ing the road and auditory affairs of the County
under the control OF a Board of County Com.
missioners. This system seems to be popular
with many OF the members. do not like the
name ''Board of Co. Com" and hardly think
that the Legislature will create so many addi-
tional County officers. The full and complete
organization of Townships. will, ] have not a
doubt, be adopted, it is, urged that it will to
great extent cause much Of the excitement
growing ont Of the County Seat Issues in the
different counties, TO s;bsidc
The Usury Law will be pushed to the verge
Of. annihilation if not extinguished. Upon the
subject Of Banks, all appear silent and tin,id,
whatever banking system may be adopted, it
will be the best and NEST carefully devised law
Of the session. There are 80 Lawyers in the
House ESQ says reporD and like proportion in
the Senate, each believes himself to be pregnant
with complete system Of laws for the govern
mcnt of the people. and when the delivery takes
place, it is thought that it will be a shrcwd
Lawyer who can recognize his offspring forty
eight hours after its birth. Ex-Gov. Grimes is
still here, the warmth and bitterness with which
he is assailed by his opponents is strengthening
bis cause with the members. The members
meet on Monday night to determine the night
| they will 60 into Caucus for Senators, it il
thought that Tuesday, the following evening
will be set as the time for holding The Sena-
torial Caucus; his opponents will endeayor to
fight it of, but they will not succeed.
The Kansas Resolutions. instruc,ing our
Senators, will be introduced on Monday, the
platform will be broad enough to enable Gus
Douglas friends 10 occupy corner of it until
the usual ceremony of partisan cou.tcsies have
been gone through with, when they will be
regularly introduced into the great national
family Of freedom. ...7.. 49,.

vey the substance of the doings Of our
servants up to date. "Grout House"
has his own notions of things and writes
to suit himself. We star part of each

of the propositions before the Legisla-
ture we like we'll. Among these we will
name the substitution of Board Of
County Commissioners for the present
Co. Judge systematic organization of
Townships, the separation of the duties
of Recorder and Treasurer, and the Gre
alton of the Office of Auditor. -
"Kansas and Lecompton" has got in
to the Legislature and until the Resolu-
tons of instruction are disposed Of
nothing will be done. We would not
vote for such a string of partisan bitter
ness as is embodied in the resolutions
presented by the majority. We would
express decided hostility to the Calhoun
Constitution, but any farther expression
is not necessary to vindicate the princi-
pie of popular sovereignty and hence
we wouldn't DO dragooned into any
such course as the majority suggests.
