THEY have been having rather singular adj
ministration of affairs in Iowa. Gov. Stone has
permitted private Secretary, named Orwig,
to affx the Governors signature to all kinds oil
papers, prOclamations, pardons, death warrants,
Congressmen's certificates, in short to ninety
nine hundredths of the documents requiring
the signature of the Chief Magistrate of the
State. Orwig was kind enough to steal only
thirty-four thousand dollars worth of land war
rants, when he might have taken over hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars worth. That
was not excessive, considering his opportuni-
ties. A legislative committee, who have been
looking into the matter, decide that the Gov
ernor did not profit by this diversion of the
public funds, but that he was rather careless in
his mode of doing business.

Ithas been surmised that the Fair Grounds have
been seized by the Secretary of War for the purposes
of the proposed Federal Monumental Association,
but it is not often that great disasters are cOmmemo
rated in that way!
There are thousands of Federal soldiers all around
the vicinity of the Fair Grounds, but doubt if
solitary interment has been made in the Grounds
proper. If any, there are but few, and the Soci6-
y ought not to lose their grounds because Burnside
was defeated in their vicinity At least that Is ouI

The RAILROAD CONNECTIONS On Friday last
pending the discussion in our City Council of the
connection of the termini of the Fredericksburg
and Petersburg railroads, twas stated that Peters
burg had not yet agreed to similar connection OF
the Richmond, Petersburg and Weldon roads, where.
upon the proposition was laid upon the table until
that city acted in the matter. The Under, in no.
ticng this proceeding, says:
We must insist upon it that our Richmond
friends keep themselves better posted upon the
doings of our Council. At meeting sometime
since of the Council the question of the connection
was discussed when, upon reference to the charter
of the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad Compa.
nv it was ascertained that by its provisions said road
was required to place its depot upon the south bank
of the Appomattox. The Council then agreed 70
permit the running of the connection through this
city as soon as the Richmond and Petersburg Rail
road Company shOnld comply with its charter.
Our Richmond friends will please stand cor
rected."

Correspondence Of the Baltimore SUM


WASHINGTON, April 24-Several gentlemen from
Alabama have arrived here on their way to Brazil
as agents of number of citizens of that State who
are DESTROYS Of emigratng to that country. They
report that the planters Of Alabama are well con
vinced.that they cannot live in that region, with
any promise of future prosperity, and are willing to
migrate to some other country.
We learn from Mexico also that though some
Southern people who have gone there are coming
back Others again are going out and are possessed of
n belief in the permanent stability of the empire Of
Macmillan. The latest aspect of the situation
makes that questionable. . p
The Senate seems to be preparing for the adoption
of course of policy which will entirely nullfy the
constitutional powers Of the President and thus pre-
vent the necessity ofremOvng him by impeac hment.
The several amendments proposed to the postothce
bill will efiectually prevent the payment OF any
money out of the treasury for any services to any
one whose nomination to Office shall not be confirm
ed by the Senate But the Senate will hardly leave
the matter of appointments here There IS proba-
bility that they will go further and establish the
rule that no person shall be removed from office
without the assent of the Senate. The question was
made before the Senate in 1890, and the discus
sion resulted in no change of the rule. But the
Senate has a majority now for reopening the sub
iect and establishing rule suited to present pollti-
cal convenience.
After the passage of the District negro suffrage
bill, and the Alexandria county retrocession bill,
and the new constitutional amendment, the Senate,
and indeed both Houses will have concluded their
work and will adjourn to look after the coming
camnaipn IOTA.
