friends. Evidence has come to US, how
ever, that these emissaries of JEFF. Davis
have been and are doing more than that.
In fact, they are not only organizing what
they call the Democratic party" but
they are inssituting secret political socie-
f'es IN almost every town, village and
school district in the State. TheMother
Society for Iowa is located at Dubuque,
and is conducted on the plan of the old
Know Nothing order, except that Native
Americanism is no part Of its dogmas.-
The sole object is to cripple the efforts of
the Administration, assist the Southern
rebels, and bring the Government again
under the control os the slave power.
We hear that few days ago an ennis
sary from Northern Lodge in Illinois
came here, and he and Mahony started
out to the interior to organize new Lodg-
es. A gentleman who came in from the
country yesterday learned that they were
busy at their work of treason.
Let the people of the country be on
their guard, for we have as malignant en-
emies of our liberties and institutions in
this section of Iowa, as ever were in South

The COnstitutional Powers Of tn,
Government In Civil War.

Government In civil War.
In previous articles we have stated our
views OF the character of the present
struggle Of the nation for life. We have
he'd it, as the common sense of mankind
holds it, to be civil war, and we have in
sisted that the Government has all the
Constitutional powers to carry on Girl
aear, that it has to wage foreign war
In this last proposition, we are supported
by the facts of history, as well as BY the
highest authorities on the law of nations
Vattel states the law thus:
1.-The Sovereign, indeed, never fails to
bestow the appellation Of rebels on all
such OF his subjects as openly resist him;
out tchen the latter hare acquired sufficient
strength to give han, e6eetual opposition,
and 70 oJlsge him TO carry on the uor
against them according to established rule.
ne must necessarily submit to the use Of
he term Gffti War.
"a civil war breaks the bonds Of an.
ciety and government, or at least suspends
their force and effect; it produces in the
nation two independent parties who con.
sluer each other us enemes, and acknowI.
edge no common judge These two par
'ies' therefore, must necessarily be con-
sidered as thenceforward CONSTITUTING. IT
least Tor time, two separate bodies. two
distinct societies. Though one Of tho
parties may have been to blame in break
ing the unity of the State, and RESISTING
me lawful authority, they are not the
less divided in fact. Besides, who shall
Judge them? Who shall pronounce on
which side the right or wrong lies? On
earth ca they have no common superior
ihey stand, therefore. in precisely the
eaiue procurement as two nations who en-
gage IN contest, and, being unable to
come 70 an agreement, have recourse to
arms "
whatever the original grounds of
quarrel, whether the rebels had or had
not the shadow of justification, when
Their resistance assumes the methods and
the powers Of effective, organized resist.
ance, by force of arms, it becomes civil
war, and the rights and powers of war
follow as matter of course. But az the
belligerent rebel force have no riphtful
civil government, the individual rebels
oe Asi1 " their allegiance to their
rlghhui government, and be punished for
their treason.
Having now fortified the position. by
authority, that this is civil war, and that
the government may exercise the powers
OF war against the enemy. we propose to
inquire what are those powers, and
whence does our Government der;ve

SENATE MIR, How presented a nett
ti.n from citizens of Wisconsin in fayo,
of the enlargement Of the Oswego and

Mr.. Anthony, from Committee on prin,
ting, reported bill authorizing the Sup
perintendent of public printing under the
direction of joint committee on printing
print and sell for cash, copies Of public
documents which may have been ordered
by the departments. Passed.
Mr.. Powell called up the resolution di.
recting the Secretary of War TO transmit
to the Senate the report of Joseph lIol
and Robt. Dale Owen. He said that he
understood the report exposed the greatest
frauds upon the Government, and he
wanted it printed that it might 90 before
the country.
MIR. Anthony moved TO amend the rcso.
luton so as to request the President if it
was not Incompatible with the public in
terests to transmit the said report, &c.
The amendment was adopted-yeas 22,
nays Ii. Resolution then passed
Mr.. Sherman introduced a bill to
establish national foundry in the Hang
Ing Rock iron and coal region of Ohio,
between the Big Sandy and Scioto and
Ohio rivers. Referred to the Military
Committee.
On motion of Mr.. Powell the bill to
prevent members of Congress or any Of
tcer of the Government from taking any
consideration for procuring contracts, Of
fce, or place from the Government was
taken up.
+ The bill provides that any member OF
Congress or officers of the Government
committing such offences shall be liable to
indictment for misdemeaner and if con
yicted shall suffer fine not exceeding
81 600, and imprisonment not exceeding
two years, and be afterwards disqualified
for holding Office under the United States,
and such contract or shall be paid al the
option of tho President.
The Judiciary Committee had made the
bill stronger than the original one He
{ Powcll) had heard that there were cases
of officers Of the Government throwing up

could be no objection To this bill
Mr.. Hale thought the bill did not 20
far enough. He had heard and believed
that the heads Of departments used heir
places for the grossest iayorltism and in
some cases had ordered contracts to be
given to their especial fayoritcs. lie
would make penal offence for the head of
departments to order those under them to
make contracts with special favorites.
Mr.. Trumbull moved to do SO and to
make the bill apply to those who, for any
compensation and consideration, give any
contracts, Office. or place.
The amendment was adopted and the
bill passed
Mr.. Hale, from the Conference Commit
tee on the bill for the re organization Of
the navy deparoment, made report
which was agreed TO.
The conhscation bill was then taken
up.
Dir. Cowan proceeded to speak at length
against the bill from the House which he
eontendcd was entirely impossible to put
in operation.

Leniency to leading rebelssis inhumanity
and prodigality in the end At least one
half of our officers who have been placed
in control of rebel districts and cities,
are totally ignorant Of the temper and
nature of the rebels. The result will in :
evitably be that the nation will have a
heavy work to do over again. 1t would
be fortunate, indeed, if the President
would put a stop Immediately to this
senseless policy of bribing active rebels
by acts of indulgence. It is a most hope
