IMPORTANT LNGIsLArIvn NEWS.

We give to-day some very important
Legislative news. 1t will be seen that the
Brandywne Rail Road bill has been defeat.
ed, mainly by its own friends. This action
was forced upon them bya copperhead trick
which tackled on TO the rail road bill an
amendment TO the city charter which would
have opened the Aood-gates of corruption to
fearful extent at our elections. The
amendment was, to strike out the prepay
ment of taxes as a condition of voting and
thus enable comprehend treason 10 fill our
city with irresponsible persons to do the
voting and afterwards skedaddle and let the
citizens and residents of the city pay the
taxes.--Mueh as the friends of the Raj,
Road bill desired to secure its passage, they
had two much patriotism and political hon
esty to do so at the expense of the people
interests and dearest rights.
Other acts were passed by the copper
heads equally unjust and odious, among
which was one to increase the salary of the
Judges with. certain unfair conditions, all
however in perfect harmony with copper
headed democracy. For details and parti-
culars we refer our readers to our regular and
special correspondence in another column.

Our /" No Politician friend at Cedar
Falls seems to think that the sclcc-
tion Of Gen. Warren for Governor
will cndanger the reelection of Sena
tor Grimes. Not bit of it. Grimes
reelection is foregone conclusion
Between him and Warren there is nov
mutual good feeling. and the game
of coupling Gen. Warren with Gov
Kirkwood for the purpose of crushing
them both is too transparent not te
be detected. Gov. Kirkwood having
received the appointment of Minister
to Copenhagen will not be competi
tor with Senator Grimes for the latter
gehtlcman's place, and the represen
tation that there is collision between
Warren and Kirkwood is as false as

We learn that there is q movement
on foot, originating at Des Moines. to
bring out Hon. Gran Faville as Nor.
thern candidate for Governor. This
movement can have no other object
than that of diriding the Northern
friends of Gen. Warren in order to
secure the nomination of rival can

thoritatively that Gov. Faville is not
and will not be candidate for the
nomination. The Northern portion Of
the State, having rclinquished their
claim to the Gnbernatorial candidate,
will now press the nomination of Hon.
Il. III. Williams for Judge Of the Su-
preme Court, and any attempt to dis

futile. The movers Of the Faville

j. The brave young soldier left his home
His country to Defend
But now his friends are called to mourn
The parting with friend. Il
His comrades, too, may share his fate,
For cause that's Just and true;
The cause our fathef's fought to win
The red, the white and blue.
His battles DER, his victory won,
As we can plainly see
And now he fills soldiers grave,
Far off in Tennessee. -t.
He lay upon his lonely couch;
No friend on earth was nigh,
Who heard his last and dying word,
Or cen the parting sigh.
The brave young soldiers gone to rest,
We know that he is free
Disturb him not, but let him rest
In Jackson, Tennessee.
