IMPORTANT DECISION. = Yesterday
morning Judge Dillon decided an important
question Of Law involving the right to imprison
for debt under the supplementary proceedings
- set forth 10 the New Code of Iowa. The
case at issus Was one ia which Martin Grsee
had been brought before the County Ju 'ge on
supplementary process. and vac required to
pay over . certain sum Of money he had about
him into the hands Of the County Judge. This
he refused to do, and was accordingly sent to
jail for contempt Of court. sccor ding to pro-
visiens Of the Code. He vas taken out on .
writ Of habsas corpus. and yesterday the
Judge. after hearing argument and after ma
ture deliberation. decided that no man 10 this
State could be In prisoned ior debt except in
case Of freud; and the supplementary pro-
cesdings laid down in the New Code are un.
constitutlonal. Mr.. Grace was set at liberty.
The opinion vas lengthy one. but vas gene
rally eoncurrsd 10 by the bsr, We believe,
This knocks another hole into the New Code.

Of the homes Of their childhood. These are
pleasant reunions. But when the Old Settlers
come together they have more important and
deeper object in view. The twenty years Of
toll and co. fict through which they have
passed in the settlement of new country,
comes up before them a. they mingle together,
aud as some old familiar face is met, lost sight
Of pprchance for years, how warm the greeting
and how sweet the reunion, - they rehearse
tae s,ory OF the days Of the old log cabin.
The Pioneer Settlers Association Of Scott
county, was organized in 1858. There were
originally about nine huId Idred and fifty who
settled in this country prior to ls4l. Over two
hundred Of there have died. many Of them in
other Statss and Territories.

Dead has been carefully prepared. and suit
