The Stay Law.

The Court of Errors has decieed the "1Stay
law to be unconstitutional, apdconsequcntly
void. This opens the Courts tsall classes of
cases, and we may reasonably expect that al
most indiscriminate sucing WILDE the order
of the day. Not that'every debor desires to
do 90, but that he will be forcetko this course
by the less scrupulous Of his chss.. Such a
course cannot fail to precipitate that perfect
ruin, which has been broughtAbout by the
results of the late terrible war.
There is not, so far as we can Zee, amy prac-
tical remedy by which the impending crash
can be avcrted Those who are s,lvent should
proceed at once to arrange with their credit
ors, for time, by rc-assuring item of their
ability to pay at no distant day., For the in
solvent there is no hope, but it bhoovcs debt
ors. and creditors alike to make arrangements,
by assignment or otherwise, for winding up
their affairs, without the intervention of the
Courts This course will save co.'s, and ena-
bic creditors to grant indulgencesnot contem-
plated after execution has been otained

To the Citizens of picken, District.

The Commissioners of the Poor met this
day, at the Court House, to consult upon the
state of destitution now existing in our Dis
trict; and, finding the small means at their
command utterly inadequate to tho relief de-
manded, deem it Of the utmost Importance to
address an APPEAL to you in behalf of the
destitute and helpless. Relying not alone on
our own knowledge of the existing state of
things, we have, with the aid Of gentlemen
we'll informed, reached the conclusion that
there are not less than eight hundVd tqmi-
lies, and, allowing five to each family, we have
population of ut least ,tonr housanl, in our
District, on the eve of starvation. Of these,
at least t,co thousand are widows and orphans,
almost entirely helpless, and made so by the
misfortunes of war. Some Of the others are
returned soldiers, who reached home last year
too late to make anything like a full crop
and, almost all, without the present means of
buying food.
We, as Board, are helpless. Indeed, find
ourselves too far in arrears to more than re-
cover WlGIlOuU d TSSOII W tdAh'
ton Grain, to the amount of five or seven
thousand bushels, is supposed to be i'll the
hands of those in our district, who might,
without great Inconvenience to themselves,
spare it, We trust we are not mistaken when
we appeal to al thus fortunately situated to
extend charity where they can, to sell to all
who offer the money, and to loan to all who
can guaranty its return in the fall. The well
fare of our District, for the next twelve
months will depend very much upon the aid
given in the next five. weeks to come, and
without which we may find it difficult to avert
calamities already threatened, and to escape
famine in the future.
We are informed tlpt Rations may be ex-
pectcd from the Frecdmcn's Bureau, but to
what extent we cannot say; moreover, too
much reliance should not be placed upon a
source of relief likely Just now to result in the
loss of much valuable time in running to pro-
cure it. Very many, however, who can't do
better would find it one of the ways of rclicv-
ing their immediate wants.
In order to advance the object in view, we
have taken steps to appoint Committees in the
diffarent4 militia nrecineta; rnho, it is hoped,
will devote themselves with energy and indus.
try to the work Of soliciting contributions in
either of the modes suggested, Ministers of
the gospel and all of every profession and call
ing are appealed to, to engage in the work,
and to contribute Of their means and efforts to
the cause.

The Soldiers Convention.

The meeting held by the soldiers on
Monday was decided success. The ar
rangements were admirable, and the attend
ance much larger than was expected. At
least FIVE hundred soldiers were present,
though the Secretaries were unable to get
more than third of the names down, ow-
ing to the great rush and short time given.
Speeches were made by Col. Bull Of
Madison, Levi Sterling, John Fl. Vivian,
and Rev. w. II. Palmer. The resolutions
adopted are of the right kind, and show
that the soldiers are united, and of the
opinion that traitors should be justly dealt
with.
In the evening an organization was ef-
fected under the title Of "The District OF
County Of Iowa, Grand Army Of the Re-
public" with Headquarters at Dodgeville,
and Ira d. Burdick was chosen command
er.
In all, tho Convention was a grand af
fair, and will long be remembered by our
boys in blue.

They were passed free over the railroads
feasted free at the hotels, and in every way

The Crops.

During our travels of the past week and
we have seen large portion of this state,
and some parts of Illinois, we have noticed
that the crops generally are looking unus-
ually well for this time Of the year. Small
grain of all kinds is looking very fns.
Rye is very tall, and stands quite thick in
the ground. Winter wheat Was neatly
killed out by the severe winter, and most
ofthe fields were plowed up and put dewn
to other crops, but we noticed some few
fields which were looking we'll, and prom.
ised an average yield. The spring wheat
and barley are looking very healthy, and
are unusually forward for this time Of the
year. We noticed some fields that were
so far advanced that they were covered
With large healthy looking heads. The
corn, on account Of the cold Weather, and
heavy rains, is rather backward, though il
is generally looking. very healthy, and il
the months of July and August arelwarm,
and we have no doubt but they will be, we
shall have no fear for the corn, for good
crop may be depended upon. As yet, we
have heard nothing of the chinch bug, OF
any other pest of former years, and the
farmers, with the exception of an occas-
sional grumbler, are highly elated with
their prospects, and expect an abundant
