We have files Of the Daily Register and
Journal to Feb. 18th, but no actual thing
has yet been done, Of general interest; if it
has, we cannot discover the fact in the re-
ports. Our northern members are among
the most industrious of the lot, and take a
hand in the debates with commendable
spirit. ANswoRrH, HAMMER and PEEr
pitch into' the Republican party when po-
,itical issues are up, and they are up on all
questions nearly. A letter from Senator
HAMMER advises us that the economical

In Love.
Our young, good-looking, and very i'm
pressiblc friend, MERRILL, Of the Courier,
attended the last Hop at the American
The Courier of last week fairly sparkles
with compliments for our side of the River !;
the town is praised, the Ball is pulled,
WRIGHT, of the American, is set up mag
niAcently, and the editor of the Times is
complimcnted for a thousand excellencies
which the warmest friendship only can see;
but the acme of commendatory grandilo-
ouence is reached in the following:
"Through the courtesy Of friend r. we
had tie ineffablc privilege of introduction
to what Wadswo' til styles:
"a perfect woman, nobiy planned,
To warn to comfort, and command;
Aud yet spirit still, and bright
With something Of an angel light"
A natural beauty, snowy, swan.like neck,
bright eyes, pearly teeth, dainty feet, taper
ing fingers; and dark hair combed plainly
down over the small ear, leaving portion
of the pure white forehead uncovered, pro-
ducing an indescribably beautiful effect
against her fair complexion; butenough,-
We can't allow our description to go further.
The Col. has our thanks; may he live for,
ever!'
The description puzzles US. We intro
duccd him to two or three of the finest spec.
linens Of young womanhood that Heaven
ever issued, but there isno one of them that
fills this BILL" The Courier man has fll.
len in love with the lot, and, artist-like, h
has drawn neck from one, feet from anoth
er, hair from another, and summed up ar
ideal that has set him crazy. Come ove1
often, WILLIAM, and we'll guarantee cure
Of that palpitation, even lift takes q parsor
to mix the ingredients.

Everybody in town has been blessed with
these annual tributes Of regard. We have
had liberal share of beautiful ones, all
spotted with hearts, doves and sweet poetry
for these VIC arc grateful, and if wekncw
the senders we would marry all Of them,
provided it was fashionable; but as that is
out Of the question, we can only worship in
silence (and ignorancc) the loneliness which
prompted the favors.
But there is on: Valentine to our address
which we are almost disposed to swear at.
1t represents little fellow with large, red
face and turn.up nose, yellow shirt and red
breaches, mounted on a stool, scratching
editorial for life. A female frigh: stands on
either side Of him, with waist like wasp,
and crinoline like hogshead. Below the
portrait were these slanderous insinuations:
'seratch away, stonshearted man,
Your work is on . stony plan
Use the pencil, dash the ink,
Then go out and take drink"
We showed this wretched caricature to a
party Of ladies, expecting sympathy that
would heal our wounded feelings; they

A caucus of Democratic Senators is said
to have taken place at Washington recent
ly, Mr.. Bright presiding. The reported
object which it had in view was the making
of platform for the Charleston Convention
and it is said that Mr.. Bright has appointed
Fitch, Bigler, Green, Chestnut and Davis a
committee to construct the platform. Mr..
Douglas was present, Mr.. Fitch was proven
to be on the Douglas course in caucus and
there is little difficulty apprehended in a
final agreement on Territorial policy.
All this is reported from that great centre
Of Know Everything, Washington City
but we would like to know what business
these dignitarics have to make up resolu-
tons for Convention of Delegates many
of whom will be men of more talent than
the members of this self-elected committee.
The Senators may confer together in eau
Gus, but their platform is worth about as
much at Charleston as last years birds
nest.

GHARkY, Of the Pioneer, fires a-half COL
omn at us for insisting that ladies should
be allowed to wear pants, if they desire to
do 90. He says law is law, and it is the
duty Of officers to see that all the laws are
fulfilled, whether they affect the liberty,
convenience or fortunes of females or of
males; he thinks it soft in us to demand an
exemption of legal liability in the case OF
the ladies.
Why, JOHN, the Almighty himself waived
the extreme penalty Of the law in the case
Of Mother Eve, and she hadn't any clothes

OF that apple, judgment and death would

men should be permitted to wear petticoats

Registry.
The Republicans Of this and most other
States, have long been clsmoring for Reg.
istry Law, or the organization Of an elective
board outside the regular board Of election
canvassers, whose duty it would be to ex-
anime the claims Of candidates to the right
Of suffrage, and give them certificates prior
to the day Of voting. The demand for such
law is founded on the assertion or belief
that foreigners vote without qualification,
and the reason for Republican activity has
been that foreigners, too generally voted
the Democratic ticket. We say has been
because since the affiliation of the Germans
with our opponents to great extent, tn.
party has urged the passage Of law of thu
kind with much less anxiety than hereto
fore, and II, as they are now attempting t.
do, they can make the slow Irish," whom
they forever detcsted for their Democracy
believe that our folks regard them as worthy
to be classcd only with the black laborers
Of the South" they will secure their sup.
port, and thus necessity for the law vii
pass away entirely.
| We believe that about as many illega.
votes are cast by one party as by the other
and all of them are not cast by foreigners
by long shot-that perfection is scarcely
attainablc under any system Of government
that a'registry would put many good cit
liens to unnecessary troublc-that our reg
ular election boards are competent to settle
any challenge that may be made Of voter
that the proposed law will only compli.
cate the difficulties proposed to be remedied
and that its passage is in violation of the
Constitution of the State of Iowa.
1t is not necessary to say that we are op
posed to the proposed law. We venture te
predict that it will not pass the present Re-
publican Iowa Legislature, Notwithstanding
the advocacy of it by their leaders and nine.
tenths Of the newspapers. We are pleased
to see our neighbor, the Press, puts its foot
upon it.
