A Call for Help.

Of all the ignoble and dctcstablc
newspapers of the South, the Southern
Contederacy, at Atlanta, Ga, is I'M
dcnbtedly the most to be dcspised.
Here is call to the Republicans for
help to prescribe such Democrats as do
not go in all over for niggcr-dom. 1t
will be perceived that for once the
"Black" is left out when speaking OF
Republican newspapers. Don't these
pro-slavery miscreants expect Rcpub-
lican editors will be in hot haste to
to crafty them, when their own pa
pcrs are prescribed and burned at all
pro-slavcry postoi1iccs! But here is
the extract:
1t is hoped that all of the Rcpubli,
can newspapers, Git is not expected
the Democratic would be willing to do
so, North, will look over the records
of the Democratic conventions in the
Free States for the past ten years,
and rc-pnblish the abolition rcsolu'
tons adopted at said conventions and
the names Of Democrats who were
members of said conventions and whc
are now delegates to the National
Democratic Convention, to be held "a,
Charleston. We want to see how
many John Browns there will be
among them.
Those papers which are willing tc
publish said resolutions, will confer a
lasting favor on us Of the South, by
sending copies of such papers to the
Southern Confcderacy, Atlanta, Ga,
Charleston Courier, Charleston. 5. c.,
and Richmond Enquirer, Richmond,
Virginia.

A letter writer at Washington says
the talk among some of Stewards
friends is to run Frank Blair or Judge
Bates for Vicc-Prcsidcnt, and give
Lincoln scat in the Cabinet. On the
other hand, it is suggested to run
Judge Read, of Philadelphia, for Vice
President on the ticket with Lincoln
for President, and make Governor
Chase Secretary Of State, and Col.
Fremont Secretary of War. 1t is
known that Seward would accept no
other position than what he holds,
save the Presidency. One thing is
pretty clear, that the Chicago Conven-
ton is not going to nominate second
class man, or take candidate for
President who has never belonged to
the Republican org anization.

When, six years ago, Douglass Ne
braska Bill to repeal the Missouri Com
promise was pending in Congress,
Gov. Seward reminded the rcpealers
that there was such thing as reenact-
ment as well as repeal, as they in time
would learn. The prediction was
secuted, the idea that the proviso of
Freedom would ever be restored was
pronounced absurd
The Kansas Legislature have just
passed Bill, over their Governors
Veto, which reads as follows:
SECTION l. That Slavery, or involun-
tary servitude, except for the punish
mcnt of crime, whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted, is and shall
be forever abolished in this Territory
Here it is, almost word for word,
the repealed section of the Missouri
Compromise, RE.ENAcTED Six years
have been wasted in the vain cndcav-
or by fraud, by force, by Federal pow
or, by usurpation, TO thrust Slavery
into Kansas, in defiance of a time
honored compact lives and property
have been sacrificed, public money
squandered, angry political contests
aroused--and all for what Can the
introducer of the Nebraska Bill, can
the indorser of it, can any living soul
tell what they, or the South, or the
Territory, or the Nation have gained
by that stupendous political folly?

The General Assembly.

The bill for establishing the super
visor system of Government has pas
scd the House by vote of A to 81.
In the Senate, the Supervisor bill
passed by vote of Is to 20; and, if
the Governor signs the bill, of which
there is no doubt, it becomes o law,
and the reign of County Kings"
will soon be over. Nearly all the
northern members of both parties
voted for this bill, so that it may be
termed product of the North or as
Democratic member from a southern
county said, it is the forerunner of
Yankee rule in Iowa. The correspon
dent of the Dubuque Times says this
Supervisor Law "provides for local
Government by the People, more Dem
ocratic and more Republican in theory
and practice than any heretofore de-
viscd in the State, and when the
masses throughout the several coun-
ties shall become accustomed to its
operation they will wonder that they
ever tolerated any other"
The " Supervisor bill" gives to
every township one supervisor, and
an additional one for every township
having a population Of eight thousand,
and one other additional for every
four thousand thereafter.
The new code has at length re-
ccived the sanction of both Houses,
but slightly altered from the commit
tccc's report, and is now the law of
the State.
The Report on Criminal Practice "
is now under consideration in the Sen
ate.
On the 18th inst, the House had
under consideration the majority and
minority reports Of the Committee on
Schools. Mr.. Bowdoin, chairman of
the Committee, supported the majori-
ty report, which provides for contin-
uance of the present township district
system while Mr.. Davis of johnson,
supported a bill establishing the single
or independent district system. After
a discussion 10y several other members
the House adjourned without coming
to q vote.
Judge Hall, of Des Moincs, made
very earnest and eloquent appeal to
the members not to disturb the pres
cnt school law-the only Democrat
who took that position. The member
from Davis, Mr.. Dunlavy, wagcd, and
was ready to wage an eternal war
against it. 1t was obnoxious to the
people, and that was all he wanted to
know about it.
The bill for the purchase of the
Capitol was reported back to the
House from the Committee on WAYS
and Means, with an unanimous recon-
mcndation that it do mol pass. The re-
port was greeted with applause, which
was rather significant.
The Liquor bill that passed the
House is still in the hands of the Sem
ate Committee, with instructions to
report license bill.
The bill for repeating the law crea-
ting an agricultural college has been
defeated in the Senate by handsome
majority. So the farmers are yet to
have their college.
Both houses have agreed upon the
resumption of the Air Line Land
Grant, but the question now is, what
shall be done with it?
a bill is before the House CHANGING
the times for holding courts in the
10th Judicial District, but we have
not yet seen the provisions Of the bill.

The Air Line Railroad.

Attorney General Rice, in response
to call of the Senate, has given his
opinion as to the right Of the State to
resume its title to the land granted to
the Iowa Central Railroad company
He is of opinion that the Air Line
Company has forfeited its right to re-
sumo its control of the same. The
Company had a right to sell 12O sec
tions of land before commencing
work !; and if they did so, giving titles
to bano fde holders, so much OF the
lands have, in the opinion of Mr.. Rice,
passed beyond the control of the State
While he believes that the State may
resume its title to the grant, he is of
opinion that an act of the General
Assembly is not sufficient for that pur-
pose. He thinks that it is necessary
Tor the State. first to assert its title
by some positive act, such as an actu-
al notice to the grantee, or the pass
age of an act which will operate as a
notice TO all persons. The act of re.
sumption is not, he says, judicial in
character. While it may be desirable
to have judicial decision of the ques-
tons involved, he does not consider il
a condition precedent to the action of
the Legislature. He thinks that the
General Assembly may proceed to
make such disposition of the lands as
they may deem proper, within the linn
itations of the grant from Congress.
