In osr joy over the reelection Of
Abraham Lincoln as President, and
the election of a Congress in which
three-fourths of the members of each
House will vote for the abolition of
Slavery, we are apt to underestimate
our gains in the State Governments.
A cursory glance at them will show
that they are no less sweeping and no
less important.
We have . majority in each House Of
every Legislature Of the original free
States. with the sole exception of the
Senate of New.Jersey. The Senate of
Indiana had until recently Demo.
cratic majority of one but the recent
disclosures of the reasonable plots Of
the Sons of Liberty" to which we are
indebted for a gain of so many thou.
sand votes at the late elections, have
also carried over to our side one of
the Senator'S. thus giving rs major
ity. We control, besides, both Houses
Of the Legislatures of Nevada, West
Virginia, Missouri, Louisiana, and Ar
kansas. In Maryland the Democrats
have majority of one in the Senate.
but we have a large majority on joint
ballot. This gives US control Of t,centy-
fire Legislatures.
If Congress should vote for an
amendment to the Constitution abolish
ing Slavery, such amendment must be
ratified by three-fourths Of the State
Legislatures or Of State Conventions,
as Congress may propose. In case the
Rebellion, by the time Of the adoption
of this amendment, should not be com.
pletely subdued. Congress will have
to decide whether three-fourths ma.
jority of all the States or only of the
States actually in the Union shall be
required. Even in the former case, it
will be seen from the foregoing that
we are now very near having the re-
quired three-fourths majority. The po-
litical complexion of the next Legis-
lature to be chosen in Tennessee will
without doubt be anti-slavery, and the
same will be the case with the new
States of Colorado and Nebraska.
Thss we shall have twenty.nine
States. which is the requisite three.
fourths, all we need to pass any Con
stitutionsl amendment we may think
proper. p ..t f..s ... aa ...f-s.

Arrest of Guerillas in Iowa.

Deputy Provost Marshal Col. Geo.
Burton, on the 18th inst, arrested a
party of guerillas In Bloomington, De.
catur county, in this State, where they
had been stealing horses and commit.
ting other depredations upon private
property. After their arrest they were
taken to Des Moiues for more safe
keeping, but will be brought by order
of Major Duncan to this post. A re.
port of their arrest with the circum.
stances attending, with such informa.
ton as can be obtained OF their past
transactions will be forwarded by Ma.
jor Duncan to Gen. Rosecrans, com.
mandiHg the Department of Missouri,
in which these guerillas have been op.
Grating during the summer. The
names Of the men arrested are Joseph
j. Weldon. who claims to be private
in Co. B, LIST Missouri rebel cavalry
and who had command Of the party ;
George M. Tye, I'd Sergeant Thomas
F. Tye, Sd Corporal Calvin Burge,
Enoch Tye, Matthew M'Cue, Franklin
Brown, Andrew NJ. Thompson and
George Phillips. All of these men
claim to be members Of the lst Mis-.
souri, rebel cavalry. that they came
North with Gen. Price, and that they
were ordered by their commander to
cross the Missouri river, and pushing
as far North as possible to conscript
all the men they could for the rebel
ranks. When they got into the North
ern part Of Missouri they found the
feeling of the people so strong agains,
them that they concluded to desert
but knowing that if they fell into the
hands of the Missouri militia, which
has suffered go much from the rowing
bands of thieves and murderers, that
they would certainly be killed, they
concluded to attempt to reach Nebras
ka and stay there in peace during the
winter.
OF course they deny being guerillas
which is now no slight charge to make
against one who falls into the power
of the Federal commander. but they
claim to be Confederate soldiers, regu
larly enlisted and therefore entitled tt
the protection and privileges accorded
to prisoners of war. Investigations
have been made, however, into the
past history Of these men, which dis
prove their claim to be Confederate
soldiers, and which show almost con
clusively that they are guerillas o
the deepest dye. At first it was sup
posed they belonged to the band which
raided through Davis county few
weeks since, but they are found to bt
members of another band, who have
committed deeds Of the foulest nature
In one instance they murdered in cole
blood defenceless old man. and cut
ting off his head placed it on biz
breast and left the remains in the road
The body was afterwards buried by
the old mans daughter, who with thu
assistance of another woman, inferred
the remains of eight men who hat
been killed by these guerillas. TIT
number of persons in North Missouri
murdered by them during the pas
summer is very large, probably thirt.
or more. The place for the trial o
the men arrested has not been deter
mined. If they are guilty of tn,
charges brought against them the,
should suffer the just punishment TO
their crimes by meeting felon's doom
