IN IowA.1The Iowa City Republican hay-
ing stated by authority portion of the
fact in relvtiOn to the non-ordering of the.
draft in Iowa, we are,now at liberty to pub.
Gsh the whole facts, known to us several
days ago, but hitherto withheld from our
readers by request, Adjutant General Ba-
ker has been for some time past endeavor-
ing to obtain correct return from the War
department of all the men enlisted In the
army from Iowa; but inasmuch as that
department credits to each State the num-
Der actually recorded on the rolls on Tile at
Washington, and many Of the rolls OF the
last new regiments have not been forward
ed, some delay has arisen. Thetotal num-
Der of troops furnished by Iowa, however,
has been very nearly ascertalned. The
official statement Of the War Department
shows that up to the LIST day of June last,
Iowa was credited with an excess of 7hir:
teen Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety
Seuen volunteers over and above all calls.
This was exclusive of the probable quota of
the State under the call to fill which draft
has been ordered in the Eastern States.-.
Estimating this quota at $4,000, Iowa's ac-
count would stand thus:

The Age Of SlsGGGy.
From the New York Herald,

From the New ork Herald,
This war has entirely changed the
American character The lavish profusion
in which the old southern aristocracv used
to indulge is completely eclipscd by the
dash, parade, and maeniticence Of the new
northern shoddy aristocracy of this period
Ideas Of chcapness and economy are
thrown the winds The individual who
makes the most money-no matter how

what's considered the greatest man. To
be extravagant is to be fashionable These
facts sufficiently account for the immense
and brilliant audiences at the opera and
the theaters; until the final crash comes
such audiences will undoubtedly continue
The world has seen its iron age, its silver

This is the age Of shoddy. The new

people who live in palaces, and ride in the

all are shoddy From devils dust they
sprang, and unto dust they shall return.
They live in shoddy houses. They ride
in shoddy carriages, drawn by shoddy
horses, and driven by shoddy coachmen,
who wear shoddy liveries They lie upon
shoddy beds, which have just come from
the upholsterers. and still smell of shoddy

Some time ago a case under the nuisance
ordinance was taken before one of our JUS
tees Of the Peace, who decided that the
provisions of the ordinance could not be
enforced: the certificate Of the election of
the corporation officers for the present
year not having been filed with the Clerk
of the County Court in the time prescribed
by law. 1t was claimed BY some Of our
lawyers that all the acts of the present
officers of the Corporation were Illegal, &c.
The Trustees desiring to act understand
ingly, instructed the undersigned to write
to the Hon Thos. S. Staufeld, of South
Bend, and Hon James Bradley, Of Laporte;
and although their answers were not writ
ten for duplication, the trustees thought it
might save litigation to publish them:

THE ELECTION.
5Earshaii all Right:

The result of the election in our County
last Tuesday, was perfectly satisfactory to
all democrats who knew the enemy We
had TO contend with.
We have majority in the County OF
Two Hundred AID Seventy, and although
this is less than we had last year, 1t Is
much better than many anticipated. The
4politiOnists were sanguine and hopeful OF
success. The causes of the change are
numerous. One whole company Of soldiers
who voted here last fall, and were, with a
half dozen exceptions, democrats, are now
absent. Two companies were sent home
- vote this fall, one of which was almost
unanimously abolition. and the other could
only give about thirty votes, ten of which
were abolition The Union League had
caught a number Of democrats, who could
not escape from the meshes of tho oath
bound order Democrats were everywhere
confident Of success, and very many stay
ed at home, many anticipating trouble al
the polls
Marshall County has done nohly, and is
today more scdndly democratic than ever
before. 1t is green spot in the barren
desert Of abolitionism, where the great
principles Of the old Democratic party are
cherished aid revered.
The elections in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Iowa, have resulted in q Gretn-back Abo-
Etion, Union League, Bayonet-instcad- Of
Ballot victory. The patronage and power
ofthe corrupt administration at Washing
ION have proved too strong for the people,
and we are defeated.
We can only say the ruin our adverse
rics bring upon US falls with equal weight
upon ,i.cmselycs; and We can but dcport
ourselves as liberty-loving freemen, and
take the consequences as philosophically
as possible Some day an outraged and
ruined pcople will throw off the influences
of power and money and speak for their
liberties. We must bide our time, and be
ever vigilant and active.
p Since putting the above in type
we are informed that the official returns
give US an average majority of Two hun
dred and ninety. in Marshall County
Coed enough, We will furnish the Off

d. McDoSALD, Esq.
DEAR SIR Since writing you yesterday
I have been enabled to make some further
examination Of the question submitted TO
me in your letter of the ID The 9th See.
of the act contains the following clause:
"And it shall be the further duty Of such
inspectors to make a certified statement
over their own signatures of the persons
elected to I'll the several Offices in said
town, and file the same with the Clerk of
the Circuit Court in the county thereof
within ten days from the day of such cleo
ton, and no Act or Ordinance Of any
Board of Trustees chosen at such election
shall be valid until the provisions Of this
Section are substantially complied with. -
am of the opinion that this provision
requiring the certificate to be filed within
ten days is directory, merely, and that it
may be fled afterwards, and when ii is SO
fled according to the doctrine Of relation,
the act of filing will relate back to the
time when the law required it to be fled.
and hence the act and ordinance of the
Board of Trustees, performed or passed
before the filing would become valid from
and after the time Of such filing; no penal
ty. however, could be collected for the Vi
olation of the ordinance, committed before
the filing And am inclined to the opin-
ion that the tax assessed at the proper
time, although before the filing of the GER
tifcate, may be collected after fling, if
there is time enough to make the collcc-
ton under the warrant Of the Marshal.
Very truly yours,
JAMES BRADLEY.
