AT length the West Washington Market Con
troversy is settled. After negotiating for three
months with Mr.. Controller Haws and Mr.. Cor.
poration Counsel Bronson, Mr.. Taylor, the
lessee under the State has settled with them for
the sum of SS00,000, the rents which he had
collected while the property was in his pos
session, and the amount paid into Court by the
receiver, in all about 100000, in lieu of his
claim, of million and half, for 10 years back
rents, for which, under the grant from the
State, he had the power to sue and possibly re-
cover This litigation, if it has been costly, has
also been instructive. When Taylor a Brennan
agreed TO lease this property from the State, the
Commissioners of the Land Office were very
doubtful if the State had any right to it at all
The lesees agreed to try the title and recover
what they could under the lease. The property
then (s5S) paid the city less than $1,000
year rent-where the balance went to, City In
spector Morton might perhaps be able to tell.
TAYLOR d Brennan stopped the leaks, and it
paid them at the rate of $4,000 year. The
city is now deriving an annual rental of nearly
100000 a year: but it has cost nearly
100000 in law expenses to arrive at this
stage, beside the amount paid in settlement of
the claims of the State lessees. The Commission
ers of the Land Office are said to have advised
Messrs. Haws and Bronson to settle with Taylor
& Brennan, preliminary to a proposed grant OF
the property to the city. Why is it that the
public markets do not pay for themselves as well
as private Investments Is it because the same
system as was pursued at West Washington
Market prevails in regard to them With the
exception Of West Washington, market pays
two per cent upon its value, yet the stands are
held at most extrayagant values. Where does the

Power Of Congress to Abo1fah slavery.
In the Virginia Convention which ratified
the Constitution, Patrick Henry opposed it's
ratification, on the ground that It gave Con-
gress the power, under certain circumstances,
to abolish slavery. Hisline Of argument may
be interesting at the present time. He said:
"One Of the great objects Of Government is
the national defense :: The Constitution gives
power to the General Government to provide

An officer Of the regular army, who was
at the late battle in Missouri, said, in pass
ing through this city yesterday, that no
words could do justice to the tirmness and
bravery Of the volunteers who were in
that engagement. For especial praise, he
singled out Blairs regiment of Missou-
1ians, under command Of Lieut.. Col An
drews, and the Iowa First, The latter,
with truly patriotic spirit refused to en-
tertain the thought Of leaving the column,
though their time Of enlistment
should expire, as long as their fellow
soldiers were in danger They pledged
themselves to stand by as long as they
were needed; and in that hard fought and
bloody field, they nobly redeemed their
promise. At their head, rushing into the
thiekest Of the fray, Gen. Lyon received
his mortal hurt, and with him, in that
charge, full hundred Of the boys went
down. Iowa has reason to be proud oi
her sons. Right nobly haye they proved
their patriotism
