THE DRArT.-We see it stated that Gov.
kirkwood has addressed letters to all the
draft commissioners Of Iowa, in which he
refers to sundry complaints which have
reached him that various counties have not
their quotas credited, and adds if the COM
missioncrs will without expense to the
State, furnish him certified list Of men
from each county who have entered the
volunteer or regular service since the COM
mencemcnt Of the war, giving the name of
each man, and the company or regiment
which he joined, he will endeavor to make
such use Of the information as will give the
county credit should draft be ordered.
1t is estimated that more than hundred
and fifty persons from this county have
gone into the regular service; and if we
are rightfully informed, have counted
hitherto as nothing on our quota. We
hope commissioner Crosby will comply
with this invitation from headquarters, and
receive all the help which our citizens can
give him, that the honor of Clayton county
may be indicated.

IMPORTANT ERRoR.-The Chicago Jour.

the dispatch from Washington, announcing
the final decision of the Supreme Court in
the Rock Island railroad bridge case. The
Court did indeed reverse the decision OF
the lower court, but that was to the effect
that three piers on the Iowa side should
be removed. The decision Of Supreme
Court reversed this, and decided that they
should stand. This decision is to be re-.

justly, with the obstruction to navigation
which iscaused by that bridge, and we had
