Legislature OF the ist. togather with a
resolution requesting the Governor to for

tives in Congress, and to the President:
Resolrsd 6y tie Senate, the Assembly
c01c1rTiag, That viii We remember with
gratitude the noble and devoted patriotism
manifested by Presidcn: johnson durins

be guilty Of deceiying him and misrepre-
senting our constituents, if we failed at
this time 10 d clare that his message veto
ing the Freedmen's Burenu bill, in its
general tone and spirit has caused pain
and disappointment among his true friends
and supporters in our State, and has been
hailed with exuberant JOY and cxultatlon
by every man who sympathized with the
rebellion, or who was cold aud Indifferent
when treason threatened the life OF the
Republic.
ResolrsI. That We most cordially en-
dorsa aud approve Of the action or such
Of our Senators and Representatives IL

to firmly resist the admission OF repre-
seutatiycs to Congress from those dis
organized States until peace Is fully Sc
cured. and until the people of such States
shall have positively guaranteed equal
and exact justice to all men w!shin their

The CnoLERA-HalTs Journal of Health
gives some very good suggestions relating
to Che era preyentiyes, which we COM
mend to the attention Of our Board OF
Health. The time Las come when they
should commence the discharge OF their
duties, and not wait till the warm wealth
or alowcs the disease TO get the upper
hand. Here is what DR.. Hall says; read
it. and act upon his suggestions:
lst. Every householder owes it 10 him
self, to his family, to his neighbors, to the
community IN which he resides to have
his house from cellar 10 garrent, from the
street curb 10 the rear line Of his lot, most
scrupulouslv cleansed, by sweeping, wash
ing and whitewashin-
ID Every man who has any authority
In city or town government should eonsld-
cr himself bound by the oath Of office, and
" every consideration Of humanity, TO
give himself no rest, ua,il every street,
alley close gutter and sewer, is placed in
state Of as perfect cleanliness as posi-
bic, and kept so until the frosts of next
winter come.
81 These cIeaninGs should be done
now in February anu March, because, II
put of till warm weather, the very effort
necessary for the removal Of filth, will
only tend, in the essential nature Of
things, 70 hasten the appearance of the
disease, to increase its malignity, and to
extend the time OF its devastation; be-
cause the suns Of spring and summer the
sooner warm into life and intensity the

That all may understand tie matter

The Legislature Of 1858 passed law
authorizing tie county 81 Iowa, BY vote
Of the people to issue $4,000 county
bonds to aid in the construction Of the
Mineral Point Rrilroad and at the same
time requiring the road to return 10 the
county as security for those bonds a second

road Tic election for the issue OF the
bonds vas considered Illegal hy portion
Of the county board who protested against
their issue bet the chairman proceeded
10 issue the bonds.
The railroad company issued frs, mort
gaze bonds TO the amount OF 500 coo,
which amount was considerably over $40
600 n mile, the road being yut tIirty-two
miles in length Upon the failure OF the
Schnylers, who contracted to build the
road. We understand some $4,000 Of the
100000 bonds had been li4uidated. Mr.
Beecher. successor to the 5chuylers in
building the road not being satisfied With
the first mortgage bonds, had tho same
eanselled, and new ones issued 70 the

Wherein do they Differ

Upon the great question of reconstruo-
ton we can see but little difference between
the President and the ma jority in Congress.
AS terms of re-admission the Presiden.
would require the adoption OF the Constr
tutional amendment forever aboilshlng
slavery So would Congress. The Presi-
dent would require a guarantee OF pro
lection to the freedmen. 80 would Con
gress. Tue President would require the
Reputation of the rebel war debt aud the
abandonment of the doctrine Of the right
of secession So would Congress. The
President would require undoubted loyalty
to the United States Government So
would Congress. Wherein then is the
difference that should cause rupture be-
tween the two branches OF the Govern
Dent2 We can really see but little. The
President IS anxious that loyal represent
atives should be admitted at once to places
in the two houses Of the national Legs
lalure. Congress is in no hurry on the
subject Of admission, and this is about the
only difference between them SO far rs We
are able thus far to discover from the act:
