LETTER FROM TINE CAPITAL.

DEAR HAwK.EYE: The storm which prevailed
with such extreme rigor last week has been sue
ceeded by more genial airs, and to day the sun
shines warm and bright. The snow 10 melting
rapidly and finding its way in ten thousand tiny
brooklets to our noble river, soon to be loosed
from its icy letters and plowed by the steam
boats. which have been scarce in these parts for
many months past. The winter has been dull
one, and every body is anxious for the return Of
spring,
To-day at 10 A. n. was the time fixed for the
joint Convention of the two Houses for the pur-
pose Of electing tho Warden of the Penitcntiary,
three Directors Of the State Bank Of Iowa, and
three Bank Commissioners, under the provisions
Of the free banking law. The present incum-
bents were all reelected, as follows: Wsrden
Of the Penitcntiary, Edward A. Layton; Direc.
tors Of the State Bank, Reuben Noble, of
McGregor, Richard Bowen, of Dubuque, and E..
T. Edginton, of Charlton; Commissioners, Thos.
A. Graham, of Tama county, William Bickford,
Of jefferson, and John W. Ellis Of Davis.
In the afternoon, the bill amending the rev.
enue law was under discussion in the House,
Sundry amendments were made, but the House
adjourned without any final action. The object
Of the bill is to make more effective the collec-
ton Of taxes, and to supply many little defects
which experience has shown to exist in our rev.
enue system. A great effort has been made to
abolish the publication of the delinquent lists,
but it is my impression that the law in that re-
spect win remain unchanged.
In the Senate, during the afternoon, the town.
ship collector bill was under discussion. 1t has
very warm friends and equally bitter enemies
Its fate is doubtful, though think it very posi-
BILE that it will pass. It provides for the only
true aud effective means Of collecting taxes, and
soonel or later it will become the law Of the State
Eastern men generally support il; while men
from those States where two or three individu.
ais have always transacted the business OF
county are very averse to it There will be a
"bg fight" over it, or am greatly mistaken, and
II its friends are beaten this time they will work
harder than ever for it at the next session. an
experience prores that thorough system of tovn-
ship organizations is tie fairsst and best. States
have repealed their County Judge and Commits
sioner systems but no State has abandoned .
systsm like that which is now being initiated in
Iowa.
is my impression, Hawk Eye, that you will
agree with me, at the end Of the session that
when you see what has been done, that the Ninth
General Assembly has been one Of the best that
has ever convened il this State, and that pru.
dence, common sense and sound discretion,
have characterized its action. DAcorAu.

The gallant dragon sighed, and SAYS he:
II used my magnifying glass, but could find no

At this moment, my boy, sharp sunbeam
cleft the fog as sword does vail, and the mist
rolled away from the scene in two volumes, dis
closing to our view fine cabbage patch, with
dense wood beyond.
William deliberately raised bottle to his
face and gazed through it upon the unexpected
prospect
"Haw says he, sadly, ''the garrison has cut
its way through the fog and escaped, but Fort
1aggins is ours Let the flag Of our Union be
planted on the rampsrts," says William, with
much Precipitation, '.and will Immediately is
sue proclamation to the people of the United
States"
Believing that William was somewhat too
hasty in his conclusions, my boy, / ventured te
insinuste that what be had taken for a fort in
the fog, was really nothing but cabbage en-
closure, and that the escaped rebels were purely
imaginary.
Imaginary ~ says William, hastily, placing
HE cantesn in his pocket. Why, didn't YOU
