In our last we stated that Hon. James
Harlan was in the city. On Tuesday
evening he gave supper to the mem
bers OF the Legislature, the Republican
editors in town aud others. There were
two hundred and twenty persons present.
\ few of the Democratic members refus-
ed to attend, but their absence did not
mar the pleasures Of the evening. The
lady Of Senator Harlan was present, and
she, as we'll as Mr. H. manifested their
good feeling towards the Republicans.
All parties were fully satisfied and had
good time
( On Tuesday the Democrats began a
system Of iillbustsring to prevent the
/ election Of a State Printer and Binder.
They spent most of the day On Tuesday
and Wednesday i'll the vain effort to de-
feat the resolution for a Joint Conren.
ton. They did succeed in putting it
off twice, but the Republicans finally told
them that a State Printer sh oull be
elected that day, aud that if they wish
ed, the Republicans would sit it out with
them without ad burning In the House
the Democrats stuck tout till after two
o'clock Tie opposition was a factous
one and the Republicans beiD. in a ma
jority Wee determined not to be foiled
or delayed uselessly. At o'clock on
Wednesday both Houses met in Joint
Convention and elected PALMER, OF the
Dubuque Times, State Printer, and
MILLS, of Des Moines, State Binder.
On Wednesday night there fell about
one foot Of snow, and as there was no
wind, it will make fine slcghing if it
stays on long enough The sun now
shines out brightly aud the snow may
soon leave
day the House committee on Rail
roads made two reports on the propricty
OF the State resuming the control of the
lands granted by the State to the Iowa
! Central Airline Railroad The major.
. lty report favored the re-assumption Of
tie lands by the State, and the minority
report opposed. Some sharp shooting
was done Oh both sides, and both reports
were ordered to be printed

Sense in the Virginia Senate.

Governor Wise's organ complains that
certain opposition members of the Vir-
ginia Senate, by opposing the foolish ar
mory bill, which is to cost the State half
million of dollars at the outset, are
holding out false and delusive hope
to Northern Abolitionism. 1t further
says
"These men are imperiling the exis-
tence of the Union, by creating the i'm.
preston that the Senate of Virginia does
not regard the signs Of the times as the
least alarming, and that the body is not
willing to incur the expense of properly
arming the State. Was this strateget-
ic movement, to prepare the way for
letter, upon which Mr.. Joh, NJ. Bolts
and the gentlemen of that ilk have been
incubating for several weeks back We
shall see"

CASHMERE GoATs.-Scveral Cashmere
coats were Landed at Savannah last week,
md sent into the interior to the farm OF
Hon. w. Ii. Stiles, for whom they were
shippcd at Smyrna, some months ago.
This is the Second importation OF the
nure bred of Cashmere goats ever made
ia this country; the first having been
made by Mr.. Davis, Of Atlanta, from
which importation all the crosses and
half breeds in this country have sprung
Mr.. Stiles has eight of them, and they
are no less curious than valuable, some
thing Of the size and shape Of our native
breed. They differ widely in their hair,
which grows so laxuriously as to give
them the appearance Of sheep with an
immense fleece on it. The experiment
having been thoroughly tried as to their
thriving in our climate, and resulting
satisfactorily, there can be no doubt Of
the value they will be to our country
These goats arc found ia the Himalaya
mountains, and have to be brought about
thousand miles before they reach a
shipping port. They are not SHARED
like sheep, but the fleece is pulled of
twice every year. An ordinary fleece
weighs between three and four pounds,
The New York price, SO. so per pound,
making at least SOL year for each goat
while there is no cost ir feeding them
for they are as frugal and hearty as the
common goat

The Observation-Disclosures at Home.

From the New York Courier and Enquirer.
A citizen of the United States enter
ing the dominions of the Emperor of
Austria, pursucs his way unmoles,ed,
unless he should unnecessarily and pub
licly obtrudc his political opinions upon
the people of that country, and upon the
notice of the Police. Should he enter
upon the discussion of political topic, in
public place, he will probably be polite
ly and gently admonished tina. such a
course is offensive to the Government
and tho lazy. Should he not heed this
he will be further dealt with as circum-
stances may require.
In the Southern States, Northcrner
meets with no such consideratc treat
meut. He is Immediately surrounded
by spies. 1t is not sufficient that he
abstain from offensive word or deed while
on Southern soil. His thoughts and
opinions must be satisfactory. \ SPY is
srproin,ed to profess certain degree of
"Abolitionism," III order to worm from
the traveller any indiscrcct expression and
then betray him. The practices of the
Inquisition-the scenes Of the Reign of
Tcrror-are daily enacted. The chosen
victim, unconscious of danger, is seized
by fanatical, drunken mob-his pcrsoD
outraged-his property des;ro~ cd-he
has no trial by jury, as guaranteed BY
the Constitution, he is not only denied
freedom of speech, on public questions,
but unFayorable opinjons cxprcsscdin lis
own State, are punished-not according
to law, but by mob. People are robbed
for no other crime than a candid ayowal
of their opinions to thosa who asked
them.
Well may the conservative men of the
South exclain, "prcscryc the Constitu.
tion," when such outrages upon it are of
daily occurrence there, While the whole
North, with scarcely an exception. re-
mains truthful to all the COMPROMISES of
the Constitution, the patriots of the
South have need to exert themselves to
support the infractions upon the Consti-
tuition, and upon the principles and
practices of guaranteed free institutions.

MANLINEss.- The purpose Of life

MANLINEss.- The purpose Of life is

dinghy, that is not the most successful
life in which man gets the most pleas

man right and acquires the greatest a

importance whether he win this BY wear

not the crown, I value. The crown per-

The 6peakership.

On the 9th ult. the Democrats in
Congress voted for Mr.. Smith, Know
Nothing from North Carolina, and came
within trfe of ecctins him. The
same thing may happen again and per.
maps with better success. At least this
shows the Republicans where they stand;
that slight weight may turn the scale
and that Southern man may be elected
almost before they are aware of it. We
have heretofore thought it best for the
Republicans to stand by Sherman at all
hazards, but the time has now come
when, in our opinion, some other man
should be taken. The utmost vote for

His friends have exhibited the most
praiseworthy courage and perseverance
in his behalf And surely no man in the
party deserved more than does John
Sherman. He has exhibited the most
sterling qualities during the trying
ordeal through which he has passed
He has no selishness in the matter, for
he has repeatedly told his friends tina:
whenever any other man was found who
could command more votes, he was viii |
ling to give way. Thst time has now
come Either Tom. Corwin or Penning-
ton could get few more votes than Sher- /
man However unpleasant it may be to
give way and take new man, the inter
:sts Of the party and the pressing ext
'encies Of the country demand that it
hould be done when it is found that an.
'ther can be elected. We are sure that
he great h'ass of Republicans would pre-
or to have some man of the party elect
ID than to be defeated under Sherman.
1t is particularly desirable to have Re-
publican speaker one who will so organ.
re the committees that the studendous
rauds that have SO long escaped detec.
ion may be exposed. Some startling

EOruey vs.. Douglas.

Dou;s- ls-' last speech in Congress, in
connection with his recent r"ersopai ao'
yances towards who are known as Sonth-
crn Administration men and fire-caters,
does not 60 down very well with many
of his own followers. They think he
"eat dirt" most too palpably to court up
the South, with his eyes turned affection
ately toward the Charleston Convention.
1t appears that Forney, the editor Of
what has been known as the leading
Douglas p;per in the country, cannot
stomach the recent course.

A Northern Slave Code.

While Southern politicians are yocif.
orously demanding protection for their
human property in the Territories, and
are bullying their Northern Allies into
supporting the same, it seems that the
Little Giant driven to desperation by
his declining prospects for the Presiden-
cy, has Invented u new scheme for curry
Ing favor with the South. lie has
brought forward measure which is more
obnoxious to the North than even the
hansas-Nebraska bill The following is
resolution introduced BY him, W on
which he made speech on the 23l inst:
Reso'eei, That the Committee on the
Judiciary be instructed to report bill
for the protection Of each State and Ter
rtory OF the Union against invasion BY
the authorities or inhabitants Of any other
State or Territory, and for the suppress
sion and punishment Of couspiracies or
combinations in any State or Territory,
with intent to invade, assail or modest
the Government, inhabitants, property,
or institutions Of any State or Territory
of the Union.
His speech was rehash of his cleo
tloneerlng harangues in his last campaign
IN Illinois. The necessity for any such
measure is not at all apparent, though he
claims that the recent Invasion of Vir
GINA is evidence of want Of security a,
the South. Along with the free a,ers
he charges the Republican party with
the responsibility of that unfortunate
affair.
Now it has been demon strated owe,
and over again, that the Republicans die
not have anything to do with it; tha
Brown was not a Republican; and thai
he aespised the Republican party for it
contervatism, yet Mr. Douglas wants
slave code to prevent the people of tn,
North from getting up such another raid
He manifests his usual insolence AM
bravado; for in his speech this declara
ton is exu'tinsly uttered, This is IT,
"way | will meet your irrepressible con
" flict, this is the way will put it down
"-ty lam.' Much easier SAID tha
done. After finding that the Republi
cans can't be put down By voting, think
to effect the same object by statute.
He ignores all the moral causes at wor
and goes directly for force We sha
see whether this bid for the Charlesto
Convention ayails him anything.
