Correspondence ofthe Guardian.
DEs MONIES, Jan. 10.

FRIEND Rich After some little de-
lay. both Houses of the Legislature are
now organized, and there seems to be a
disposition on the part of the members
to proceed at once to the business OF the
session. The names of the officers Of
the Legislature you will find in the Citi-
zen. Our friend Aldrich is chief clerk
of the House. He had no opposition in
the Republican caucus. John E. Ward
is the Speaker, and he will make an ex-
cellent officer. Messrs. Hastings and
Bemis are in their places, and will keep
sharp looko for the interests of their
constituents. They are both we'll thought
of here, and will exert a strong influence
in the business of the session. A gem
eral disposition exists among the Repub-
lican members to retrench Expenditures in
every possible way. The salaries of the
officers of both Houses have been con-
siderably reduced, and some of the mi
nor offices dropped off. Small supplies
will be voted, and the session made as
short as possible.
Candidates for State printer are quite
numerous, and | would not be surprised
if a different system was adopted. AL
ready bill has been introduced in the
Senate to let the printing to the lowest
bidder. A bill has also been introduced
for the appraisement of property sold on
execution, think it will pass.
You recollect the arrest of the horse
thieves in your town by two men from
this city on the Sd inst. Well the affair
has had rather singular denouement
Word came to this city on Monday last,
that horse thieves had been found hung
in Tama county, and the sheriff of that
county was here and made an arrest of
two persons said to be implicated in the
hanging. The men arrested are named
Small and Seamen, and proved to be the
same men who arrested the horse thieves
at independence. Great excitement was
occasioned here in consequence, and a
writ of babeas corpus was sued out be-
fore the Supreme Court, to test the va
lidity of the arrest. While the matter
was being investigated, the prisoners es-
capped from the custody of the sheriff of
this county.
The Legislature is now preparing to
canvass the votes for Governor and Lieut..
Governor. and the Inauguration will take
place morrow. I will keep you reg
ularly advised, during my stay here, OF
the important acts of the session.
Yours truly.

Hurrah for Hurrah ! Three cheers

last come to his senses. He has at last
discovered that the Democratic party
the immaculate Democratic party-the
national Democratic party-the Union
saving Democratic party-yes, the law
abiding, constitution revering. conserv-
alive Democratic party has done some
foolish acts. On the second page Of the
paper aforesaid, under the head of {" Fool

mentions seven foolish acts Of the Dem
ocratic party, some of them he also calls
wicked. These acts referred to, COM
mence with the administration of PIERCE

GROWING act of folly in very foolish

see the editor aforesaid come out and

Though not prophet nor the son Of

next November, he will then cast his
vote for VIM. H. SEWARD, for President
But VIM. H. S. may not be nominated
True, but l mean that he will cast his
vote for the nominee of the Chicago

The Lawrence Accident.

Ey We give on the outside Otto
days paper, full account of this terrible
catastrophe, probably the most fatal of
any that has ever happened on land, in
this country. The Lawrence Sentinel,
of January 10. gives the most complete
list of the dead and missing that has
been obtained, and figures up 80 dead.
and 1o7 missing. 1t makes the number
badly wounded 100, and those slightly
wounded 100. The cause of the catas-
trophe is involved in mystery. the testi-
mony before the Coroner's jury being
very contradictory. The building has
been pronounced both the weakest and
the strongest of the kind that the sever.
al witnesses ever saw. Large sums have
been subscribed in different cities in aid
of the sufferers, and every thing posi-
BILE done to alleviate suffering.

~ When Mr.. BUCHANAN acceded

~ When Mr.. BUCHANAN acceded to
the Presidency, the public debt of the
United States was about thirty-one mil
lions Of dollars, with balance of about
twenty-one millions of dollars in the
Treasury, leaving about ten millions of
debt over and above the cash in the
Treasury. Mr.. COBB now reports per-
manent public debt of over forty i've
millions, and temporary public debt,
Treasury notes. of twenty million, to-
gether over sixty-6ve millions. The bal
ance in the Treasury is small, and is
nearly all owing to mail contractors. 1t
will thus be seen that the Democratic
administration Of JAMES BUCHANAN has
run behind over fifty millions Of dollars
in less than three years, and Mr.. COBB
says this will have to be increased.

Pay what You Subscribe.

Mr.. EDITOR In almost every paper
we see some gentle hint for subscribers
to pay the printer. This is all we'll
enough, for every one who agrees TO pay
for paper ought to do so, and that
promptly, especially when they can do
so on as favorable terms as you propose.
But permit me, through your paper,
to speak in behalf Of another class that
live partly, if not wholly, by subscrip-
tion-a class that is afraid to give gen
tie hint about pay for fear Of offending ;
yet who need it, and are entitled to it as
much as any one. This unofFending, self
sacrificing, but very much abused class to
which we refer, is the faithful gospel min
lister, (not he whom the people call the
almighty dollar minister" for the latter
generally looks out for himself) His
salary, at most, is bare support, to COM
pensate pecuniarily for the many years
OF arduous study necessary to fit him for
his responsible station. Still minister,
to be acceptable, must be the very pat
tern of excellence benevolence must be
the most prominent trait in his character
his dress must correspond with his pro-
fession, and the minister's house the
home of the travelling minister, lecturer,
agent, or any one who stops for the ben
eft of the people.
Though the minister's nominal salary
is generally less than it should be, yet
we would not say word if this was all
promptly paid. A church and people
want minister; he agrees to preach for
them for what will barely support him,
providing he gets it all. The subscrip-
ton paper is circulated and the necessary
amount is subscribed the minister COM
mences his labors. not thinking but that
his temporal wants will be promptly sup
plied--that is, if former experience has
not taught him different-but soon his
attention must be turned, to great ex-
tent, from his calling, to attend to his
necessary wants. He patiently contrives
to get along without wounding feelings
by asking for pay. Some who know
that minister must live as well as them
selves, pay what they subscribe prompt
ly; but this does not make up for those
who say by their actions, Oh, he does
not need it now, it viii do most any time
or not at all if it is not convenient to
pay" The result is that at the close of
the year the minister has passed through
a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, and
is generally in debt and discouraged ;
all on account of his Pensioners not
paying what is subscribed.
If every one would have for his mot
to. "pay schas goa subscribe" and espe
cially to the minister, they would have
better preaching, better times. and. best
of all. clear conscience.
We are glad TO learn that the church
that Observe" refers to has returned
to duty, and is now in such prosperous
condition. though perhaps it is not the
one that" Well Wisher" refers to. But
he will probably be glad to learn that
any church ia in a prosperous condition
