Iowa SANITARY CoMMIssIoN.-The
Board of Control of the Iowa Sanitary
Commission assembled at Davenport Tues
day last. All the members were present
except Mr.. Bissel, of Dubuque. In regard
to the action of the Board, which has en-
tire control of the business of the organi-
zatipn, the Davenport Gazette says:
II is with no small degree of pleasure
that we record the fact that the entire ac-
ton OF the Board was wholly unanimous
and arrived at with the utmost cordiality.
The new organization has now tangible
and permanent existence, under proper
restrictions and control. The Commission
of which Rev. A. J. kynett was Cores
pondlng Secretary and that of which Mrs.
Wittenmeyer was President, have ceased
to exist. Mr.. X. has voluntarily surren-
dered his position and is no longer SAM
tary Agent Of any organization or by any
appointment in Iowa. He remains an as
sociate member of the United States SAM
tary Commission, with which he will
doubtless continne to labor efficiently and
acceptably as occasion may require. Mrs.
Wittenmeyer is, as before, State Sanitary
Agent, and will, it is expected, soon enter
on intimate relations with the Iowa SAM
tary Commission. An office will soon be
opened in this city at which the records of
the Commission will be kept open for the
public inspection and every facility afford
ed for full acquaintance with the pro-
gress OF the sanitary work. Under the en-
ergetic supervision of Rev. c. G. Truesdell,
Recording Secretary, the office here and
depots in Chicago and st. Louis will soon
be in working order. Nothing now re-
mains but for every friend of Iowa soldiers
to work, steadily and earnestly. to supply
all needed stores and aid.

Ns-The Davenport Gazette says that
Brigadier General A. Sully, the comman-
der of the Indian expedition of last sum-
mer up the Missouri, has been ordered to
the command of the Iowa Military District,
embracing this State and portion of Da-
cotah Territory, with his headquarters at
Davenport. Gen. Sully supercedes Gen.
Roberts. Where the latter goes the Gazette
does not saw

Gs~ Under date Of Nov. 10Th, it is repor-
ted from London that the British Naval
authorities has issued instructions to pre-
vent the vessel constructing in the river
Clyde, suspected to be designed for the re-
bels, from going to sea. We trust this is
the fact-it is another indication that the
Ministry is determined that that sort of
breach OF neutrality shall be finally and
completely blocked, We don't owe them
much thanks for it-but still it presumes
that they are at least conscious that thew
are cutting stick which would soon be
used to break their own backs.

rs An attempt was made TO launch the
monitor Iron Clad Dictator, at New York
on the 2Sth, ult. which proved failure
Owing to some arrangement or insufficient
cy of the ways, in spite of all efforts and
the Juggling of half a dozen steamboats,,
the Dictator refused to move off and take
to the water. The proposed Launching was
therefore compulsorily postponed until bet
ter arrangements can be made.

DEFENSIVE DISTRACTIONS IN New YORK HAIR
BoR-It will be recollsctsd that at the time of
the Trent difficulty report was current that a
large sum had been expended in the purchase
Of timber for the purpose of placing an enor-
nous raft and other defensive distractions in
New York harbor. 1t appears now, from tine
State Comptroller's report, that $79,22s was
actually laid out in this way; but after the dan
ger Of hostilites with England was over the
timber was directed to be sold, and is being got
rid of at prices which 1t is believed will prevent
any loss to the State 1t is well that the money
has not been expended on so foolish . project.
We have very little faith in harbor or river OBJ
structions tina. do not embrace as their princi-
pal features ron-clad defences and all the recent
improvements in artillery.

Our OMNwUsss BADLY REavLArnD-Our
the shortcom ings on the part Of our lines Of
omnibuses. Their passengers are in constant
state Of discomfort and annoyance from the bad
arrangement as regards paying the fare to the
drivers This should not be. In all European
oities every omnibus has q conductor, charged
with receiving the fare and attending to the in
grsss and egress of those who patronize the vehi-
Gle in question. In this manner all overcrowding
Is avoided, all disputes as to errors in making
change are easily settled, while the drivers
are simply called upon to keep clear Of obsta-
clss and make their way to their destination
with all due speed. AS the paying is done in
our lines of stages, the driver, at the peril of
crashing into other vehicles or being run into
himself, has to turn from his horses to receive
pay and make change, and thus dreadful acci-
dents may and do occur. The system, as it now
exists, is a tempting of Providence. We would
wish to see on all omnibuses a driver and a
conductor. We should not then, rs now, be
exposed to the insolencs of the drivers, who,
alone responsible, frequently forget the respect
due to their patrons. and are rude and disoblig-
ing. We would also wish to know distinctly
how many seats an omnibus contains, and
suggest that when full they should not be
stopped to allow numbers Of persons to crowd
in and stand on the feet Of the passengers al
ready filling the vehicle or seat themselves on
their knees: The whole system Of our omnibus
lines as it now exists, is faulty to degree; and
as for years these matters have been better
managed abroad, we cannot understand why
improvements are not introduced here. The
safety and comfort of the public imperatively
demand these improvements and sense of our
duty to the people will cause us to insist upon
obtaining them.

New LIGHT FOR SECRETARY CHAsE.-The
State Comptroller's report has had one excel
lent sfect-that Of inspiring the faint hearted
amongst us with fresh hope by showing them
that there is one portion Of the country which
il not going financially to the dogs. If Mr..
Robinson were to send q copy Of this docu-
ment to Secretary Chase, q still more important
benefit might result from it. When that be-
logged statesman sees with what admirable
judgment and order the financial affairs of this
great State are administered, his mind may,
perhaps, become illuminated by few bright
ideas. Those who cannot originate are often
good at imitation; and we would not desire
better than to sec Mr.. Chase follow in the wake
offs system which consults economy as first
principle, and seeks to make the most of its
available resources
