House OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
Des Moines, March L. 1850

E.. Des Moines, March l6, 1860.
DEAR REGisrER The genial spring
weather OF the past two weeks gives such
earnest of seed time budding trees and
gro Wig cr,ps-that the :" noble sons of
'o'l' who are representing the I" dear peo-
pie in the Legislature, become restless
and anxious to wind up the law making
machine and return TO their broad acres.
Consequently, the public business is pro.
crossing rapidly. Members have ceased
their speech. making and are applying
themselves to the legitimate business of
legislation. Several important measures
have been acted upon and passed during
the week past ...
Chief in point Of interest to the people
of Woodbury. aud the entire State, is the
adoption of the Supervisor system. The
bill passed BY decided majorities, and will
efectually cheek the troubles that are now
ag'tatlng so many counties The new
system will 60 into effect on the frs, Of
January. 1861.
One Of the most misehevious laws pass
ed this session il the Oath Bill, introduced
by Mr. Clark, Of johnson. 1t was design.
ed and enacted for political effect-in
order to keep Catholics away from the
polls by compelling them to be sworn in
The manner most binding on their con-
sciences, viz: on Douay's version Of the
Bible. This law is an emanation from the
old dark lantern orders, which still cons.i-
tute large and strong element in the Re.
publican party. This psrnicious measure
was opposed BY EVERY DEMocRAT. All
but tour Republicans voted for it.
The new Cade has passed both Houses
mot however, without considerable Oh.
position. 1t makes many and important
innovations upon the present system Of
practice, and will in great measure uu.
settle it aud require years to give il, a COM
prshensibe and settled construction. 1t
will make study for lawyers u sin.ss for
Courts, and multiplied costs for litigants.
Much time and attention have been Civ
en- the liquor question. The Democrats
voted unilormerly for a judicious license
law, introduced by Jude Claggett, bu. it
was opposed and killed BY the Republicans
in the House. After great labor an ultra
prohlbi,ory law passed the House by
vote OF Il Democrats and % Republicans
IN its favor. 1t contained provision 70
pealing the lager beer and native wine law
Of last session. The passage Of such
bill Greeted great CONSERVATION among the
Republican leaders. and desperate etFor.
was made to whip in enough prohibition
lists, to leave the law as il is and save the
German vo.s to the party ut the next eles
ton. But no use the rsformers we're in
exorabls-the bill passed aud sent to the
Senate where it will undoubtedly be oon-
signed to the "Tomb Of the Capulets,, for
Republican Senators love prohibition less
and party more.
An effort is being made to purchase the
Capitol Building for the use of the State,
but It will not succeed.
As yet, there are no certain indications
OF the time Of adjournment. Many i'm.
portant matters are still undisposed of in
addition to the appropriation bills, none OF
which have yet been brought forward.

Our neighbor, The Sun, took US to task yester-
day for our comments upon its course in relation
to the purchase of the Park. In a Characters
ticaly involved article, it charges us with having
resorted to abuse, and furthermore with having
wifuIy misrepresented it. 1t docs not intimate
that the extracts which we Cdoted from its
columns were in any particular altered or mis-
printed, but complains bitterly of our having left
out the Every gist' of its argument. Now we
cannot conceive that we were under any obliga-
ton to transfer to our columns The Suns argu-
ment upon the action of the Commissioners,
inasmuch as we had no intention OF attempting
to analyze or controvert it. Its reasoning if rea-
soning it could be called, we did not discuss. but

pered effort 10 arouse the hatred and jealousy of
any class whatever against what it called the
"arstocracy,' because we hold the envy which
sneers at the rich and the pride which contemns
the poor in equal scorn; and because American
arstocrats are entitled to enjoy what they have
honestly and laboriously earned. They can claim
no privilege by birth, no station by Inheritance,
and no exemption from the obligations which the
laws Impose every citizen alike. They have gen.
eraiiy worked their way from comparative indulgence

Test-DASL. JENIFEE, Sept. 49, 1885"
We are thus shown that, according to this census,
Maryland, in 1882, had population of 1884, 52.
The compendium of the United States of 1850
puts Mary and down in ITS as having only l740O0!
white of caurse; but our Representatives in Con-
gress, in IVA, making their estimate doubt from
the known number of taxables, placed the whole
number at 800, 900. This was probably too large,
but from so many returning to England, fleeing to
other States, slaves decoyed to the enemy, and
soldiers slain in battle and lost by other casualties
of during the Revolution, all this we can well
understand left Maryland with much smaller
population in 1882 than she had in 1I15.
And while on this subject, permit me to call your
attention to the remark in 'the compendium"
D. 49, that "at the beginning of the Revolution the
Southern Colonies bad therefore Sl2, 900 white in
habitants, and the Northern 491 900; Connecticut
was the fourth State in rank" But according to
the estimated population by Congress, in l774, as
a basis to apportion the troops to be raised, the
seven Northern Colonies, including Delaware and
Pennsy lvania, had ,53l 67S and the four Southern
Colonies, Georgia included, Isis, 900. Caa the
be right? According to the Congress
sional estimate, the four Southern Colonies had
well nigh as large population the eight Northern
ones. and every Colony slave Colony then
the Northern well as the Southern. In numbers
Virginia stood first, Massachusetts second, Penn
syvania, including Delaware, third, Maryland
fourth, North Carolina fifth, New York sixth,
South Carolina seventh, Connecticut eighth, not
