The iatcs. news from the old world IS de-
.cidedly Of warlikc nature. 1t is now
thought that the willingness the French En-
peror has exhibited, to settle Affairs on
liberal basis, without resort to arms, was
mere rt&e to gain time, in which to con-.
plet, his warlike preparations. \ peace
Congress may be held, but it will eliminate
innothing of stable character. Danger
of war is eminent. The very next arrival
may bring news Of the commencement Of
hostiiitcS. France, Austria and Sardinia are
all armed to the teeth and with forces greatly
beyond peace basis, are evidently prepared
for any movement. Piedmont, TOO. appears
atpresent as one Of the leading powers, man
ifcsts no disposition to disarm whilst Aus
tria insists upon such step as preliminary
condition to the assembling Of a peace Con
gress. The Emperor Of Austria has caused
to be posted at Milan, an address to his sol
diers, calling upon them to rally around his
banner and beat down for the third time the
pride Of Piedmont. lie appenls'to them to
remember the victories Of lS4S and 1910,
and the dispersion Of the foe, as an incen,
tive to their courage. He has ordered a de-

ally, and another one Of 10000 was immcdi-
utely to be formed. An army Of reserve Of
of 10000 is to be kept in Moravia and Be-
hemia, and all tho forces of the empire are
being concentrated at points from which, or
to which, they caa be used to advantage.
From the present position of affairs, a resort
10 arms seems inevitable.

with the murder as fully established by the
testimony of Durfee and Bartholomew.
1t was not until the arrest of these men
that the mass of those who have left the
southern settlements fed. As soon rs they
gave themselves up in Salt Lake City, an
express was sent down from there, giving
notice of that fact, and stating that they
were going to turn states evidence, and this
caused the general stampede.

through Behring's Straits and Sitka to St.
Louis. The author of the plan would fur
Their extend another wire from Kiachta to
Pekin, and thence through Saghalien to
Yeddo and Hakodadi, in Japan. The length
of the proposed telegraph estimated at
$4,000 English miles, the cost of con-
struction at 100000. The expense of
maintaining and repairing the wires is cal
calated by Mr.. Collins at 100000 rubles,
annually, and the revenue at 100000
rubles, or dividend Of eight per cent. to
the shareholders, if q company can be
formed. MIR. Collins is now on his way to
St. Petersburgh, where he thinks no dficul,y
will be had in raising sufficient capital to
complete the enterprise.--Saint Louis

COUNTY ORGANIZATIONS.

have no doubt that three fourths, if not
nine-ten,hs Of the voters and tax payers Of
Iowa, desire a change in our system Of
County Government. also believe that
they desire saystrm of township orqani-
cation, similar to tina, in vogue in New York,
Illinois and Wisconsin.
This subject has been much agitated dur
ing the last eighteen months; but are we
sure that the Legislature will comply with
this emincn,y popular desire 1t is too
true that a great many men who are sent up
to the Capitol to make our laws, arc afflicted
with India rubber knee joints and cnrtias-
inouS back-bon"s. They lack the courage
to seize the pruning knife and Top off those
supcrhuitvs Of Legislation which have at
tanned, anything like age. But the people
have the remedy in their own hands, il they
will use it. Let us in erery locality in the
State, send up orr petitions, prGyiny for
just tchdt ice cant. If you have a member
who is not disposed to do what you desire,
n good strong petition from his own homo
will hold him to the work if he is already
right and well disposed, it will crafty him
to see his constituents supporting his posi-
tons, and no will work with redoublcd en-
ergy. In any event petitions can do no
harm, and if they are sent in from all parts
of the State. they may do great amount of
good. Let US have general expression
by petition, on this vitality important sub
jcct.
lappenda form Of petition which any one
is at liberty to use, alter or reject, as he
deems proper. RUsrlc.
To the Honorable, the Legislature of Iowa:
Your petitioners, residents and legal vo-
tiers Of county, State of Iowa.
respectfully pray Your honorable body to
abolish the present County Judge System,
md tie erect in its stead a system Of Town
thip Organization, similar to that of New
York. Illinois or Wisconsin. We should
also urge the expedoncy Of limiting the
functions Of the Comfy Judge to Judicial
and Probate Observation-Disclosures him TO
hold Courts Of Quarter Sessions, and giving
him civil and criminal jurisdiction to the
same extent rs some of the States above
mentioned. And yonr petitioners will ever
pray, etc.
