t,ey are still here idle, having no guns. Col
Russy's Regiment Of Cavalry has cost the Gov

s. sum TOR subsistence, and yet is not armed The
sane is true Of Col. Warren's Regiment. They

nent Of Cavalry raised in Illinois, surrendered

ments falling into the hands Of Price, the men
being liberated On parole. This Regiment, al.
though raised last Spring and for some time pre-
yious to the surrender, employed in the enemy's
country, had no g,ms, end no means of defend
inc the Notifications except with their sabres
and pistols.
There seyidently great lack OF energy and
efficiency some where, which is costing the
country great deal and retarding the eff.
forts Of the loyal people of the West to put
down rebellion. This want Of promptness
in bringing the men raised into the field, is
cisrgeable to the War Department, and ought
70 be remedicd al once. That Department ought
10 be able to see beyond Washington. Iowa
has furnished as many troops incorporation to
5 her population as any State in the Union They
have done more efficient service-more had

Let the Government supply those with arms
who have been months waiting or disband them
and stop the expense. Their presence idle and
unarmed is a reproach upon Government, and a
serious obstacle to the recruiting service.
sE-Mr. Webster, the Great Expounder OF
the Constitution, is dead. There is no sort OF
doubt about it. But the people ought to be
thankful and take courage, for Dave Steward
still lives to interpret the Constitution and Laws
and he is bound to do il. He now sheds his
sweetness upon a small and unappreciative pub
lie in the village of Fairfield, Jefferson county,
through the coumns--of a. weakly paper. he
ought to be transplanted to a more congenial
soil In the last issue one side Of his paper Is
principally taken up in proving that the Decla
ration of Independence didn't include niggers--
th at under this declaration Southern traitors,

and overthrow the Government, and that Mr..
Lincoln cor any other man" is a usurper and a
tyrant and violates the Constitution il he wields

bellion The other side Of the paper is occu
pied almost exclusively with an article headed
"Negro equality re!uted," which We consider a
good Joke on the niggers--tor if David was t e
only party concerned the niggers would have the
worst of it.

The Star demands that il such is the case, their

until they can be properly examined and sent
| to Washington for settlement; the disbursing Of
ficers of the army to disburse the funds and not

A DIFFICULT QUESTION ANSWERED

Can any reader of s,is paper,
says an exchange:
Tell why, when Eve was manu-
faetured from one of Adams ribs,
hired girl wasn't made at the
same time to wait on her?'
We can easy! Beeuse Adam
never came whining to Eve with
ragged stocking to be darned, a
callar string to be sewed on, or a
glove to be mended right away,
quick now! 7 Because he never
read the newspaper until the sun
got behind the palm trees, and
then stretched himself, yawning
out, SAain't supper most ready, my
dear?' Not he. He made the fire
and hung over the tea kettle him
self, we'll venture, and pulled the
redisher, and peeled the bananas,
and did es serything else he'd onght
to! lie MIXED the cows, and fed
the chickens, and looked after the
pigs himself. lie never brought
home half a dozen friends to dinner,
when Eve hadn't any fresh pome-
grantees and the mongo season was
over 4! He never staid out until
eleven o'clock to a ward meeting
hurrahing for the out and out can
didate, and then scolding because
poor dear Eve was sitting up and
crying inside the gate. To be sure
be acted rather cowardly about the
apple gathering, but then don't de-
preciate his general hopefulness
about the garden! He never plaid
billiards, nor drove fast horses, nor
choked Eve with sigar smoke. He
never loated around corner groce-
ries while solitary Eve was rocking
little Gains cradle at home. In
short, he didn't think she was es-
peeially created for the purpose Of
waiting on him, and wasn't under
the impression that it disgraced q
man to tighten his Wife's cares
little. ...-
That's the reason that Eve did
not need hired girl, and we wish
it was the reason that none of her
fair descendants did
