The COncIusfOn.
In the Cincinnati Gazette, (rabid RepuE.
lican) is a Washington letter that is worth
rc-prntng. Here it is:
The session Of the Senate to-day proved
very interesting Douglas delivered a
speech some two hours in duration, in
which he supported his resolution very
vigorously, ear" cstly demanding that thu
Administration should make known its
policy at an carly day. r, gardng the COL
lection of revenue and the general course
to be pursued relative TO the enforcement
Of the laws in the seeding States. e ;
He took the ground that the revenue
could not be collected in any other manner,
than by the process now in force, by. re-
s,dent collector in the city where the Gus
toms are to be raised, snd on the shere !;
quoting from the act OF 1899, "that it is
unlawful for said collection to DO made ex-
cep-,in port. and that the President would
be- liable to impeachment should he attempt
to violate the laws by placing two revenue
cutters or vessels Of war outside the harbor
of a seeding State"
lie showed that the force bill Of 1888,
only provided for collecting the revenue
, within, and not without Charleston Harbor,
but he did not believe that Lincoln intended
to collect the revenue or blockade the psrts;
for he thought he intended peace, and if lie
should ask for a law to enable him to do
that, he Douglas) informed him that Con-
gress would not grant him the power.
! lie argued, at great length. that the
country demanded to know whether the
Administration contemplated war or peace,
and thoaght that the adoption Of this rcso-
luton would draw out that policy.
| There could be no denial but that the
Southern Conietleracy was dc ,faeto Gov
ernmcnt, and tire question was whether this
Government was going to reduce it to
suhjugation.
Ills conclusions were for providing -
First, such amendments to the Constitution
as will guarantee, the seeded States their

chased the interest Of the Senior. NJ. & B.
began bushes here in the Summer of 1856
as the succeSsors'of Jones & Bass. At tina
time Mr.. j. w. Merrill was the partner of
Mr.. Baron-he q. W. became tired of the
west and returned to N. Hampshire after q
year or two. Mr.. Samuel Merrill came to
McGregor and the business proceeded with.
out change. This firm has done very
large business at this point and has made
as many friends as any house in Northern
Iowa. Mr.. Merrill was elected to the Lcgis,
lature of Iowa in the autumn Of 1859, and
served very creditably in the II. of Repre-.
sentativcs. He designs to remain here a
short time to settle up the business Of the
late firm and then go back to the Granite
State. Mr.. Merrill is pretty good western
man and VIC do not believe he will remain
long in the prosy, quiet East. We guarran.
rantce him welcome back when he feels
like coming. ,f ,.a tas ..asv
The business will be continued By Edwin
r. BARRON, at the old stand. and from the
fact that he is a general rfavorite both in the
city and country. with saint and sinnrr,men,
Is -
woman and children, Democrats and Re.
pnblicans, we judge that he will sell as
many goods as he and his clerks can handle.
BARRON has happy faculty of attending
strictly to his own business lone Of the
most valuable qualities man can possess
He is liberal in purse and in opinion, and
we expect to treat him so well in this State
Of Iowa that he will remain here for life

family and close his eyes "a hundred yea,

The Prairie du Chen Leader Of last week
contains two very interesting letters from
P. Peak one dated Boulder City, Feb
18th, and signed j. S. Howell, the other
dated Mountain City, Feb. 18th, and signed
by Doctor j. Whitney. Both these gen
tlerien were formerly residents of Pr du
Chen and their letters are read here with
great interest. Howell has "a ranch on
the top of the Mountain, 10 miles from any.
WHERE" the winter has been severe for
that country but cattle have fatted run
ming out" The quartz mining business is
looking up, $500. and $500. per cord be-
ing taken from a ton Of quartz or iron py-
rites. Hawkins is in Denver. Thomas of
Prairie du Chen and Kane of Milwaukee
are in the Phoenix District and are as jolly
as they can live. The new process of saw
ing the Gold contained in pyritcs has given
innings great push, and much is cx-
pected the coming summer. ....
Howell concludes his letter to Mr.. Greene
Of the Leader with personal request which
we must notice. he says: BLOW Col.
Richardson up for me, as he promised to
send me the Times and has not done it,.
In the Spring of 1860, by request, we
sent about % copies of the Times to Den
ver marked to our subscribers there. This
we continued nearly three months and then
letter from a.frierd there advised us that
no copies had reached that city; or, if they
had, some expressman had sold them.-
Newspapers from thcStateswcre in demand
and sold readily at 25 to 80 and as high as
80 cents each. We stopped sending, of
course, as We did not know, after the mail
service began, rhere to direct to our sub
scribers; We have sent no Times to p. p.
since, except on receipt Of order and address
from the party interested. We trust this
apology will satisfy our friend Howell and
