In Senate, Nay esd, the bill FOR All issue o
State Bonds being under conside "a ton. upon hi,
motion to strike out ''eight hundred thousand
and insert zone million"
Mr.. Rankin said that he mnde the motion e
strike from the bill the words .eight hundred
thousand dollars and insert 81, 0O0, 00O for many
reasons entirely satisfactory to himself -
he felt Instructed 40 to vote BY his constitu
ents, SO far as he had heard an expression n
the various public meetings held in the City Of
keokuk, the expression, without reference to
party distinction, was in favor Of 81 ,0OO, geo.
A gentleman has just been elected to sea,
in the Heuse of Representatives from Lee coun.
ty, without reference to party, who was openly
and publicly in favor Of the issue Of bonds to tho
| amount Of $l,O00.O00. His majority was over
100. have, however, every reason to believe,
that his antagonist was not much below him as
to his idea of :he amount
As a faithful Representative, desire to act
according to these indications of the popular
will.
Independent, however, of these partial in.
structiOns, am decidedly in favor of the amount
stated. The country is in actual war 1t is a
war that will be bloody, desperate and expen-
slve. 1t is war in which, if defeated, we lose
everything, and if successful we give perpetuity
toa Government of incalculable value.
The enemies of large appropriation hope for
peace through some specific policy or through
some negotiation with the foe 1t is useless to
anticipate anything Of the kind Peace can only
result from subjugation Of all rebel forces
There can be no peace until all the Government
property is reclaimed and the flag of the country
floats over it. 1t would be disgraceful to at.
tempt negotiations with the men that head the
Southern Confederacy, men who have been
plotting treason for years, men who have con-
spired against the Constitution and the laws,
men who have openly rebelied and brought on
US war in which lives have already been lost,
and millions of money expended. The time to
negotiate has gone by, the time for Cancellation
and compromise has gone by, the time to fight
has arrived.
III the war should be short, the money to be
raised need not be expended. II necessary,
however, to self defense, for State honor and
National honor. it will be perpetually disgracefu
not to provide it in time.
The gentleman from Pottawattomie seems to
think that the issue of bonds to the amount of
$1,000, 1000 will impair the credit Of the State,
that a small issue might be readily sold, while
moneyed men might refuse to invest where the
issue Is large This is not good reasoning, for
every intelligent man knows that if we issue
$500, 900 bonds to day, the next Legislature may

which under the guise of raising home guard,
pledged the subscribers to an armed neutrality
during the war, and also avowed the right of

became incensed at his conduct, and held meet
ing to try him. but Lips desired to be heard, and
they adjourned-till the next day Saturday to
afford him an opportunity. Lips failed to appear
at the time appointed, and committee was dis
patched to his house for him. This committee
he defed, and sent an insulting and menacing
message in reply, to the effect that he didn't in
tend to come to them-that if they attempted
to come on his premises they had better prepare
for the worst--that he had forty men who

adjourned to Lips premises He met and detied
them, and raising his gun, attempted to shoot the
foremost man. Fortunately his gun flashed, and
