The Soldiers Dinner.

The Dinner announced to be given under
the auspices Of the Soldiers Aid Society of
this city, to our brave Iowa soldiers, their
wives, children and sweethearts, came of
yesterday afternoon, at Grimes Hall. The
generous fair ones having direction of the
matter, had tables prepared for the accom-
mediation of five hundred persons, but ow-
ing to the short notice given there was not
so large number present; although those
who par,ook Of the generous entertainment
could be counted by scores. The tables
were loaded to excess with the ''fat Of the
land" and were not only covered with the
substantials of life, but also with all descrip-
tons of dainties and deicacies. The res.
ponse to the call of the4aJlies for materials
for this sumptuous feast, we are instructed
to say, was most ample and generous on
the part of the public; satisfactory attes-
tation to which we discovered in the almost
unlimited quantities of eatables that filled
the ante-rooms. a 1T k -,
4 About three o'clock; Mayor French, who
had been solicited to preside, called the
large assemblage to order. In very grace.
full but brief speech, he alluded to the ser.
vices our soldiers were rendering their
country in this hour of her peril, Of their
fortitude and bravery, and closed by well
coming them to the collation. expressly pre-
pared for them, as slight token of the es.
TEEN and admiration in which they were
held by the patriotic ladies of our city and
county.
He was followed by the Rev. Mr.. Baird
in feeling and beautiful prayer, after
which the good cheer Of the burthened ia
bles was duly discussed.
The dinner being over, patriotic senti.
ments were offered, which elected ELOQUENT
and interesting responses from gentlemen
present. AS our report, without this fea-
ture, would be indeed imperfect, we ap-
pend them, but want of space forbids our
giving more than brief synopsis of the
responding speeches.

@- The Council Bluffs (secesh) Bug,e,
asks: "Is the war war for Abolitionism?''
We answer, yes, it is! Now, what are you
going to do about it? It's "war, to alb
rogate, to cut of, to abolish treason and
traitors in the south. And it is also a
"war" to put down traitors in the North,
and restore the Union, and make it what it
was intended to be-a home for the free
and oppressed OF all nations.

S9-Some Of the omnibus proprietors Of
New York have raised the fares from i've
to ten cents. A happy result of this inno-
walton is that the people have quit riding
and their 'busses'' run without passengers.
The mass of those who ride are quite will
ing to pay the old fare, out Of which the
owners were coming money quite fast
epough. But they won't stand the extor-
ton, and persistently avoid the coaches
which demand ten cents lift. That is
right. II men will not content themselves
with doing we'll, and undertake to rob the
public, the way to manage them is let them
alone severely. They will soon find out
what it is to do worse.

~ General Dix, in letter to the New
York Legislature. declares that the New
York "bounty- have robbed the
recruits in that city of more than four hum
dred thousand dollars! And all the time
this was going on one General Spinola, who
had charge of the business, insisted that
everything was fairly transacted! We
don't hear that the General, who was 80
conveniently blind, has either been arrest
ed or tried, or in any way called to account
for his neglect Of duty, if not completely
with the thieves.

rAn effort is to be made % shut down
the gamblers in gold and exchange. A Bill
has been introduced into both Houses of
Congress providing that it shall be unlaw-
fnl to make any contract for the purchase,
sale or loan Of gold or foreign exchange, or
for payment of differences, or upon any
other terms than the immediate actual de-
livery, and immediate payment Of the sti-
pulated price in currency. It also provides
that none but bona tide owners In actual
possession shall make contracts for sale of
gold or foreign exchange, and forbids
transactions in either except at the place Of
business of the buyer or seller. All con-
tracts in violation Of the act are declared
void, and the penalties are dne and impris-
onment. Such law will kill OF the gam
blcss and will not interfere with legitimate
transactions. It it had been passed two
years since it would have saved to the
country and people q great many millions.
Let something of that sort be passed
quickly.

~ A letter writer to the Cincinnati
Commercial says that the army is the best
temperance society loyal man can identi-
~ himself with. 1t must be so. That ac-
counts for the repugnance .Copperheads
have to it. We thought there was some
thing besides sympathy with the rebels
which intensified their hatred to the army.
1t is plain now. Their love of treason and
addiction to bad whisky are about equal.
They don't like any temperance society,
and that of the army least Of all. Total
depravity can't stand anything Of that
sort. 4

~ The Supreme Court of Ohio has set
tied, for that State, the validity of the SOL
diers' vote. They have determined that the
man who is called out Of his State to de-
fend the Union, shall not thereby be de-
prived of the inestimable right to assist in
determining who shall administer the gov
eminent or enact the public laws. This is
just. Not merely just, it is necessity UNI
less we are to be told that Constitutions are
intended to transfer the government from
the hands of the patriotic to those of the
public enemies, whenever true men flock
to the support of their imperilled country.
Is it possible that any man who loves his
country would desire to deprive its defend
erS of their votes?

They should be taxed out Of existence as
speedily as practicable. Makeittoo costly for
them to circulate their bills and they will be
compelled to call in most of their issues
It ought to have been done before. Ifit be
done mosO, it will assist in averting more
serious financial difficulties. These banks
have been the cause to large extent Of
the existing imitation and resulting specu-
iative mania. It must be stopped. A tax
will effect it, if large enough, ana will do
it gradually. VIII Congress do its duty +?
Will it talk less and do more! It is time.
It has dallied and toyed with the matter
too long. Let it act boldly. Good will
come Of it. The people have begun the
work. Let Congress finish it.

wave notice that certain of the Rail-
road Companies at Chicago claim the right
to discriminate in moving freight in favor
of certain other transportation companies.
They say they have difaculty in moving
all freight, and therefore they will take
what they choose first-and all for the good
of the dear public! These fellows set
themselves UP Is lawmakers. Theys eem
to forget that they are public carriers, that
it ID their business, not to make the law
but to obey it. They are intended to &C.
commodate the public and not to rule it,
It Is their business to carry freight for all.
They are under obligations to convey first
that which comes first. II they receive
freight, they are bound to carry it with
reasonable diligence within q reasonable
time, and in no case have they the right to
postpone the freight Of one individual in
order to accommodate another. They
have no right to exercise a preference. If
they don't convey goods within . reason
able time. or If they do carry it out of its
order, they are responsible for all damages
which may result from their neglect. They
have no more authority to prefer one man 8
freight than they have to prefer one pas
senger. He who comes first must be FIRST
served. A little enforcement of the law
against these companies would do them
good. They are not public masters but
public servants. They want to be taught
the fact.
