Iowa and the Constitutional amendment.

-
The New York Tribune, of Nov. 18th
give table showing the number OF
States which have thus far ratified the
Amendment to the Federal Constitution
aboiishing slavery, in which Iowa APP
pears as having ratified it June 30th.-
The Chicago RnpttblicdH, of later date,
makes the same error. How these pa
pers came to make such mistake we
do not know. The Legislature of this
State has not been in session since the
Amendment was submitted by Congress
as it only meets once in two years, and
therefore has had no opportunity to
pass upon this important measure. 1t
is perfectly safe, however, to put Iowa
down in the list of States which sup
port the Amendment The Legislature
convenes the second Monday in Janu-
airy next, and among its first important
business will be the ratifying of this
Amen iment. The Republican MAORI
ty on joint ballot will be about one hun
dred and six, so there can be no question
as to what Iowa will do.
That the Amendment will be ratified
by the requisite two-thirds of all the
States, seems now absolutely certain
Twenty-four States, we believe, have
already declared for it, and only two
more, beside Iowa, are necessary to its
success. New Jersey will probably rat
ify it, and it is hoped that California
and Oregon will dc the same. Perhaps
other Southern States will follow the
example of South Carolina. Any way,
the Amendment is secure.

john Minor Bolts will probably be
one of the United States Senators from

We understand that General Logan
has concluded to decline the mission to
the Mexican republic, for the reason
that, under present circumstances. he
does not think the mem bers of an ordi-
nary legation would he sufficient to en-
able him to perfornl the duties success
fully. If President Johnson would
attach $4,000 soldiers 10 the embassy,
General Logan would have no doubt of
his ability to establish the mission at
the ancient capital of that republic; but
he does not think it worth while to be-
gin the undertaking with less nunler-
Gus suit. We are sorry that the gallant
general places his confidence so exclu-
sively in the military arm. The moral

Ron, A. w. Hubbard.

Some papers in northern Iowa propose Hub
bard; NJ. G., for Z. 5. senator: 1t may be only
dodge to advertise him and make 1t known
that such man lives How else should We
know of his existence? He doubtless serves
his constituents to their satisfaction, but We
don't want nobodies to represent the state of
Iowa1 the National Senatc.-AadnaosdE Eureka.
The Eureka is very poorly inform
ed. 1t should have known of Mr.. Hub
bard's existence by his three years of
faithful and honorable service in Con-
gress. No Iowa member has served his
constituents more faithfully, or with
greater ability, than the Representative
OF the Sixth District. 1t is unworthy of
the Eureka, therefore, to characterize
Mr. Hubbard rs "nobody,n simply
because he has been suggested for an
important office which it would prefer
to have filled by another man. The
people of the Sixth District would be as
dissatisfied with nobody" for their
representative in Congress as the people
of the Second District, or any other Dis
trict in the State, would be under like
unhappy circumstances. The Eureka
il too fast. Mr.. Hubbard is not ambi-
tious for office, and occupies his present
honorable position with reluctance. We
have not urged him for the Senate for
several reasons. The only one that
need be given is that We do not believe
Mr.. Hubbard desires that we should
We have understood from sources We
deemed reliable that he had no aspira-
tions for the vacated position. Howev-
or, should the people of Iowa call him
TO their service in the Z. 8. Senate, we
have confidence that he would serve
them satisfactorily and we'll. 1t is our
opinion that no man better qualified
could be selected from Northern Iowa.
The Earekd should take the trouble to
familiarize itself with the prominent
men Of the State. Fit has shown any
one to be a " nobody" we are strongly
inclined to the belief that il is the editor
who penned the paragraph.
