THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL DIS.
TAlCTS.

According to the census returns OF
the State OF Iowa for the year 1850, the
State is entitled to FIVE Representatives
in Congress, instead Of two, as hereto
fore. 1t therefore becomes one OF the
duties OF our State Legislature now IN
session. to redistrict the State, and thls
work, Of course, is one which requires, at
the hands Of the railing party, great
deal of close. calculation, fine figuring,
curious cyphering, and assoclat'ns IN or
der TO worm the Democratic counties
out OF their identity, and place the call.
ing and election Of Republican Con-
gressmen, sure.
The committees on this work were,
OF course, selected with great deal Of
care and circumspection. Prominent
politicians took council together over the
work, and as if the safety Of the nation
depended upon the correctness OF the
scheme, the best political talent in the
Republican family has had hand in
moulding the future Congressional sta
tus Of the State.
We present herewith view OF the
plan adopted by the joint committees in
this matter, which has been transmitted
TO Us by Des Mones friend, who keeps
watch Of such little operations

Who Is CROFFUT ?-This fellow has
been figuring, of late, through the col-
umns Of the New York Tribune tell.
ing the people about some private cen.
versation which he said he heard be-
tween the President and Lane and Pom
eroy and such Abolitionists. This stuff
has been circulated twice over through
all the Republican sheets of the country,
and gloated over as something very nice
and reliable. But who is this Croffut =?
"This fellow Croffut," says the New AL
bsny (1nd.) Ledger, "isl an habituaI
liar and slanderer. On one occasion he
was whipped within an inch of his life
~ Capt. Harris, of the Upper Miss,s-
s'ppi steamer Grey Eagle, for SANDER.
he was also run ont of a Minnesota
town for his abolitionisn." It must
have been an uncommonly mean kind Of
abolitiouism for which he was run ont Of
q Minnesota town, for the common kind
prevails in that region extensively. We
are glad to know that there is no better
witness of the Presidents abolitionism
Nan Croffut.

The Lane.Ilunter Question.

The Chicago 1riJune's specials con-
tain the following
The President aud Secretary Stanton
say that they do not knoy how the Lane
and Hunter matter stands. Gen. Lane
was appointed in expectation that he
and Gen. Hunter, with whom he said
he was friendly, would arrange matters
amicably, which the President expected
would be done by Hunters retaining
charge of the Department, and Lane be
ing detailed to the expedition. The
President now expresses hope that this
Will bc done if consistent with the pub.
lie interest and with Hunters approval.
This has the appearance Of being
made up out Of whole cloth. 1t seems
to US very unlikely that the President
or Secretary Stanton would appoint any
man to such an important command,
contingent upon some"truck and dicker"
trade which might be concocted between
the appointee and some other party. 1t
does not appear at all reasonable and
tie probability is that Lane never had
any such appointment as he pretended
to have when he made his triumph al
march through the West.

what we have done before, up to the
