A bombshsIl Tell and exploded 10 the
House early yesterday morning. The
Haskeys and several other journals q
similar abolition tendencies. have recently been
commenting in the esverest and most abusive
language, upon the motives Of Judge Hall In
introducing bis sesolutions appointing com"'s-
siossss - proved to the State q Aissosri, TO-
bring about amicabls arrangements between
our respective States. The Haukeys hss been
bitter in its demonstrations charging the res
oIutions - trsasonsble, and the editor OF that
paper says over his own signsturs that JUDE
Hall ought to have been kicked out OF the
Legislature for daring to introduce such ESQ
lutions.
At the opening of the House. Clark, Of John
son. arose In his place. and read resolution
which be desired the House to act upon. in
justice to its members. condemning in unmists-
katle language. the comments made BY the
aforesaid journals upon the motives. integrity
aud honesty Of Jadge Hall. and those who
acted with him in supporting his resolutions
The resolution was seconded by Mr.. Culbert-
son and several other gentlemen on the Rsput-
lican side Of he House denounced in the Bit
terest Of terms their sweeping denunciations Of
the Havkeye. in its un warranted and unpar-
donab's personal attack uron Judge Hall.
Coming as it does. from the Republicans, this
| rebuke is very severe, ard Judge Halls vndi-
| cation is complete. trust that the Hsskeye
and ita kin. will. by this lesson. learn what be-
longs to decency, and hereafter cease this per-
sonsl abuse Of everything and everybody diff
sring In the least from their "nigser" ideas
As intimated in my last. the Senate, under
executive pressure, raised the loan bill up to
the Governors figures. one million. but con-
sulting certain members of the House. it was
ound that the bill with tl.is increase could not
be passed. the $500 900 was substituted, and
1t has thus become Law. The bill is very well
guarded-shs chances for plundsr by contract
ors, jobbers and executive favcrites, will not
be 60 fAtssring as could have been wished, by
those who had already commenced fattening
in anticipation. For the hedge that is thrown
around this bill, the people of this State are

speaker Of the House. and shall not be eur
prised to see his services required this fall in
q manner quite agreeable to his feelings, and
fsttering to HE hosts Of friends.
The scraps Of legislation are all being looked
after, and an effort will be made TO adjourn on
Wednesday, but shall not be surprised to see
the session hold until the end oil the week
Judge Hall is yet to speak upon his resolutions
ard the bill that has been reported under
them; other members will doubtless speak
upon them. and an exciting time is an,icipa.

The Governor, by message, recommends
that no action be taken by the Extra Sess on
with reference to calling national convention

proposition is now before the Legislature
to construct line Of telegraph from come
point on the Mississippi River to this .ity-
thus enabling the Governor and our next Leg
isla,urs 10 be in daily communication with
the general government and the seat Of war.
Such an appropriation from the war fund
would doubtless save the State thousands Of
dollars.
There seems to be considerable complaint
against Gen. Bowen. Inefiiciency 10 the trans
action Of official duties Is charged against
him. and you may look 80 see the General
raised down to plain DR.. Bowen, before long.
This is the fate Of war, however, and the. Gen
eral must not complain.
The seat Of war in this State has been sud.

North w estern Iowa-there 10 no longer any
