State Bonds.

State Bonds.
Hon. NJ L. Fisher, Commissioner to sell
the Iowa State Bonds, arrived at home from
New York late on Saturday. On Tuesday he
called at this Office and gave us interesting
information relative to the negotiations OF
himself and the Hon. John w. Jones. The
Financial Board of the State had forbidden
the sale of the bonds at less than 80 cents:
after advertising as required, the COMMUNIST.
ners received bids of $4,000 at %, 81, 900
at abont So and the balance of the S4OO 600
at prices ranging from 80 to s7s; of course
they could accept only the $4,000 bid
The Financial Board of the state will meet
next week at Davenport and settle the
policy to be pursued by the Commission
ers. 1t is probable they will authorize the
sale OF bonds to the people OF the State at
maximum prices obtained in New York.
There seems to be no other way to raise
money now but to buy our own bonds. If
sold at % and eXem pied fromAaxation the
bonds will be a safe investment.

date for Governor and it is also known
that he declined such nomination for the
reason that he could see no party when
the integrity Of the Government is men
aced and all men North as we'll as many
South have rallied to the standard Of the
United States. EDWARDS says: "There
is really no issue Of Importance which d.
vides us. The distractng question of
slavery in the Territories is forever settled
and on the doctrine OF Non-intcrvention.
To arouse party feelings at the present
time would prove disastrous"
II am glad to see the position taken by
the Hon. r. NOBLE: I am not acquainted
with him personally but have known him
well by reputation for several years and
through that reputation am not surprised
at his present position. Certainly Concord
and Unity to save the Union is preferable
to scramble for the loaves and fishes Of a
mere party. We can, under the surround
ing circumstances cnveloping our country,
go before the people with boldness and
clear conscience to battle for the Constitu-
ton and Union and against ali extremes"

State Convention to come off or the 25th
Of this month. The people are ripe for
such movement ard it will succeed"

Drifting Rapidly to Civil War.

No intelligent observer of passing events,
knowing the corrupt and depraved materi
ais of which The House of Representatives
is composed, expected from IFS action any
solution of the crisis which threatens The
country with the calamity OF civil war and
Il any creduIous persen had ever been delu-
ded with such an idea, he has been long
iE the open chamber and by those of the
Committee of Thirty three. But there was
some vague expectation that the Senate, the
conservative branch of Congress, would
adopt satisfactory plan oil compromise TO
loose the Gordian knot, instead of cutting it
with the sword. The action, however, OF
the Committee of Thirteen on Saturday, of
whose proceedings repor; will be found
in another column, leaves no room for a
ray OF hope from that quarter, in the face of
the way out of the Union, TO be 70 llowed in
rapid succession by several others. The
republican members of the Committee nj
ierly refusedto make any compromise or
concession upon any point, on the ground
that ''the people in the late election had
decided the question of slavery"
This is only in keeping with the intelli-
eence that seven Governors of Eastern and
Northern Siates-including Governor Nor
gan. of New York, ahd Governor Andrew,
of Massachusctls-at a recent secret meet
ing in this city, unanimously determined
that the republicans should not offer COM
promise, but that on Mr. Lincoln's assump-
lion of th reins of gov sernment they should
push their ami slavery doctrines 10 the ul-
termost, even TO the extent OF war upon
the South" In confirmation OF this news.
as far as regards at least one OF the Cover
nors, Wendell Phillips declared, al the
Town Hall of Waiertown, OF Friday even
ing last, that he spoke by authority for Mr.
Andrew, who would not sign bill repeal
ins the Personal Liberty law of Massachus
etis-one of the most Infamous of the nulii-
tying revolutionary acts of the Northern
States.

Death Of henry N. Fuller.

The Hon. HENaY NJ. FULLER died, at his
residence. in Philadelphia, on the 26th nit,
in the 10th year of his age, just in the prime
of life. MIR FULLER was well known and
respected by many in this Congressional
District He was born, as it has been sta
ted. in he town of Bethany Pa, educated
at Princeton, studied and practiced law at
Wilkesbarre joined The Wing party, was
chosen by them 10 the Legislature, and to
Congress in 1850; re-chosen by the Amer.
lean party in 1854. and was their candidate
for Speaker of the House in the long strug-
gle which ended in the election of N. P.
Banks OF Massachusetts Last October he
was the Constitutional Uhion Party candi-
date for Congress, in the I Id District, where
he resided, but was beaten by his Repub
lican opponent. He had large interests in
the coal regions OF Pennsylvania, and was
a warm friend 10 American industry. He
leaves a widow and a family Of seven chill
dren. His disease was typhoid fever.

News from Washington.

Monday last was the most exciting day
experienced in Washington since the OPEN
ing of the present session of Congress -
In view of the recent intelligence OF move
meBts at Charleston, the principal interest
ceniered in the Congressional proceedings
ii, being expected thai some allnsion
would of course be made 10 evenfs which
have iranepired during the brief holiday
recess. In the Senate galleries great
crowd was gathered-the attraction being a
speech BY Senator Benjamin, o. Louisiana,
which he intimated in advance would be
q secession speech. After some prelimina-
~ business, Mr.. Powell, OF Kentucky Chair
man of the Special Committee of Thirteen
on the Stale of the Union, reported that the
Committee had been unable TO agree, and
asked that the Journal of their proceedings
be printed. Mr Douglass intimaied desire
TO speak upon the subject, but postponed
his remarks until to-day. MIR. Crittenden's
Joint resolution was made the special order
for to-day Mr.. Wilson, of Massachusetts,
offered resolution, which was objected 10
ard laid over, requesting the Secretary of
War 10 inform the Senate relative TO the
condition of the arms in the national ar
mories, &c.
