4 Point.
Hon. S. CoLrAx is getting some credit
among Republican papers for having re-
Gently stated that if Helpers Book is in
ccndiary in its character the Southern
Members are spreading incindiarism by
sending thousands of copies to the South
for their people to read. Mr. Colfax knows
that the book has been sent South to show
Southern constituency the nature of the
fraticidal warfare which Northern Aboli-
tionisln proposes to wage against the slave
States, and as a justification of their Con-
gressmcn in refusing to be reconciled to
Sherman, the recommended of the "Crisis."
Where man has slandered another it is
frequently desirable to the maligned party
to possess himself of the language of his
foe. ...#
Mr.. Colfax is personally our friend and
we protest earnestly against his getting
hold Of so small straw when declining to
answer if he Endorsed book designed, and
in many instances circulated for the pur-
pose Of alternating the people of these con-
federated States and destroying Govern
mcnt, imperfect though it may be, the best
yet known to enlightened humanity. Take
the bull by the horns Schuyler and not by
tn; tail. Own up your approval of Helper
or be man enough to denouncc it. .

Poetry.
We continue to receive poetic articles
which require more revision than we have
time or inclination to give them. Itshould
not be expected that young authors will
write articles equal in brilliancy to those of
Pope or Moore, but if they desire their COM
munications to be published they are Ger
tainly competent to copy them carefully,
and keep on copying till they are easily
read. An old gentleman, to whom we owe
most of our very limited education, used to
require us at school to copy composition
twenty times, if necessary, so that it could
be shown to him without any blemish what
ever except its general weakness.
Persons are agreeable enough, sometimes,
to request us ''to copy and correct their
articles, before putting them in print. This
practice we have pretty much quit, except
in cases where the information given is very
valuable to us

Letters.
We are in receipt Of an interesting Epis-
tie from (not toy Timothy o. Texas,
which we cannot publish this week. "Wol-
VERNE" of Grand Rapids also favors us
with communication which necessarily
lies over. Our correspondence and origi-
nal communications will soon relieve us
from the necessity of "scissoring." We
condense the important events of the day
for our readers and this gives them more
variety and saves them the toll of reading a
column to get at one or two points. This
costs an Editor more labor than to scissor
but We are rewarded by generally prompt
pay, an increasing subscription list and
public approval.

Is it Right?

- ~ ebSht!
In late Chicago paper we notice the
case of beautiful woman Ca widow who
arrived on the cars, dressed in the habili-
mcnts Of a man. The eagle eye of police
officer generally the greatest devils out of
TopheO detected the disguise, and marched
the poor female off to prison. She was
brought up next morning before the Mayor,
subjected, of course, to derision, and fined
$20-all for wearing the clothes of one of
those lords of creation who make the laws.
Her story was that man had courted her
in Macon, Georgia, and had removed to Nc
Henry county, Illinois he was engaged to
come to Macon last fall and marry her
Hearing nothing from him, her woman's
heart, which fears no harm when Love is the
guiding star, planned journey in search
of her recreant, perhaps sick idol; hoping,
doubtless,-for women have forty horse
hover of hope,-that if he had partly for
gotten his pledge the sight of her own pref
ty eyes, and the knowledge of the sacrifice
of delicacy she was making, the hazards of
a long journey made on his account, would
restore him to her; or if sick, and perhaps
friendlcss, who so capable of soothing him
as the warm hearted being whose hand had
been given him for life? These thoughts,
with others of kind which women only
think, doubtless entered into the calculations
of this poor lady, but the prejudiccs of the
public against a woman travelling a long
journey alone, were so well considered that
no alternative presented itself but to clothe
herself fashion, and start out on her
mission of affection. She arrives within
few miles of her destination, is arrested
as sort Of imposter for being found
in the sacred vestments of the breeches-
wearing portion of creation, lodged in pris-
on, brought before gaping crowd of hang
ers-on about the Police Court, fined $50,
and turned back on her gloomy road to
Georgia! :E .....
There amt any Fright about it, and if
a city should ever require our services
as Mayor, we would see the Common Coun-
Gil and ali the inhabitants on the 9th
er side of Jordan before we would iniure
any pantaloonedl lady on mission so human
as the one here referred to; we care not if
she had big beard, moustaches, watch
fob, plug hat, red-toppcd boots, and all the
other outward signs of masculinity. A man
should be punished for wearing female appa-
rel, because he might wickedly impose on
the sex, and because an honest man does
not require any disguise to enable him to
get through the world, but woman, for
adopting costume in which she can do no
one injury, and which may be protection
from insult, should pass through our Off
cial hands as kindly as though she were an
unhappy sister whose situation demanded
advice and assistance rather than contumc-
ly and fines!

Scandal.

SCAEAUals
Sir Hugh Rowley Of London was charged
by his sprigntly young wife with brutality
and she obtained a divorce. The story
was in the papers some time ago. Hugh
now prosecutes his late wife for perjury :;
there arc many charges against the lady
among which is the ridiculous one that she
was in the habit of exhibiting more of her
lower limbs in crossing gutter or getting
out of a carriage, than there was any neces-
ity for. TO rebut this grave charge the
lady's counsel put in one of Sir Hugh's
letters to his wife in which he said 1--WE
copy from the London correspondent of the
New York Sunday Times.)
"Ah Tit, if you would only believe |
love, adore and dote on you, you would,
am sure try to love me in return a little
Do love me and you shall not repent it. l
love the very paper you write OH, my own
treasure, and may-blght me for the fiji
ture if | do not behave as an affectionate,
doting and fond husband. I know you
will be careful in getting out of the boat
and railway not to show your legs Adieu,
Tit, and believe in the unalterable devotion
of your sincere, affectionate and attached
husband" II. ROWLEY.
p. Site your trousers down, my
own darling Tit"
The reading Of this legacy of love from
an English Baronet to his saucy wife up
set the gravity Of the court, bar and spec
tators.

Iowa Legislature.
Mr.. HAMMER made speech advocating
the furnishing Of papers to members as a
means of disseminating Legislative intelli-
gence to their constituency. Mr.. Merrill
offered resolution directing the Railroad
Committee to inquire if the Iowa Capital
Air Line Road had failed to comply with
the act Of July 10th, 1868 Noble of Fay
cite is added to the Agricultural Committee.
Wilson of Dubuque introduced bill rela-
ting to the relocation Of county seats. Mr..
Merrill spoke in favor of report recon-
mending the indefinite postponcment of an
act exempting certain lands from taxation !;
what the certain lands" were, or where
situated, the loose-id reporters of Legislative
proceedings do not inform us. Mr. Merrill,
Chairman of the Internal Improvement
Committee, reported bill declaring Little
Sioux river navigable, and explained as a
reason for the bill that parties were about to
build dams across it.
The proceedings are not very interesting,
and they are so poorly reported that is diff
cult to get at the 'course of human events
down there. When they passa acts tina,
arc important, we will give abstracts Of
their provisions

Weather, Markets, &c.

Weather, Markets, &c.
The weather has been mild as April for
several days preceding Monday last; it be-
came cold on that night and is about as firm
now as we want to see it-no snow yet and
scarcely cloud to promise any.
Produce continues to arrive freely but
there are not many goods purchased, the
heavy trading of Oct, Nov. and December
making it unnecessary. Pork, sells at IS
@5.50 but it is not plenty. Flour, 1925;
Hides, 5A@13; Wheat, ss@9O; Corn in
the car SO, shelled 46; Oats, 80; Barley,
40. Furs are plenty and bring good prices,
though our dealers are fearing the reports
Of the London February sales will put them
down. ....a
As Spring approaches trade becomes more
dull and discussions Of Pixies Peak more
general. Merchants are leaving now for
the East to lay in supplies, and Carpenters
arc busy preparing residences and storage
for those who are contemplating removal
here in April and May. As we have abou
