The General Assembly of the State OF
Iowa, :eonvenes on Monday next.
The present session will doubtless be an
Interesting and important. but probably
not "A very exciting one. The Republican
majority is SO overwhelming, that it will
be likely to discourage opposition, and
r-0u.~ >-ithout any serious contest, the
speedy passage Of all the leading measures
Of the session, provided all the time, that
the majority remain United, as we shall
expect them to do. Whatever ground for
experimenting a divided sentiment I'm the
Republican Party OH the subject of Recon-
struction, may exist elsewhere, we do not
apprehend anything ofthe kind i'm our
State, Mt least in tho Legislature. Iowa,
we take it, may be set down, as Radical if,
there is any such thing. Very few
conservatives" so-called, we presume,
will he found i'm the ranks of Republican
Iowa's Legislators. Still, il, unfortunate
ly, misunderstanding should take place
between the President and Congress, 1t
might infiuence..soine. even in Iowa.
The Constitutional Amendment abol-
ishing slavery, although now unnecessary
to give effect to that great measure, will,
Of course, be amongNthe earliest enact
Inents of the session. 81 ..".Ht q" . ~.
The election United States Senators will
he exciting, to the contestants at all events.
The short, or unexpired term Of Senator
Harlan will be easily got along with. The
contest will be for the Tong term. The
candidates will be numerous, one or more
from most ofthe Congressional Districts.
This District is the only exception we are
aware Of Gen. FitZ Henry Warren, Cen
s. r. Curtis, Secy. Harlan, and j.. F. Will
son of the Est; Gov. Kirkwood of the 3D.
Gen. Vandsver. of the Sd; J. A. Kasson, OF
the 5lh, and A. W. Hubbard, Of the 9th,
are named. At present, Gov. Kirkwood and
Sec. Harlan seem to be the most proni-
nent candidates for the long term. Local
ity and a general desire to have Mr.. Har-
Ian remain in the Cabinet, will probably
assist Gov. Kirkwood. Whoever of the
eminent men named may be successful,
the people will be content. There is not
one Of them, who would not ill the office
with honor to themselves and credit to the
State. 4. . .'.i..| ~. ~

State, we infer that the present able State
Printer, F. w. Palmer, will be continued
in office. We are not aware, inst now OF
any serious opposition to his.re-electi0n.
Among the questions of general import
ance that Will be likely to claim the .aetiou
Of the Legislature, is the Liquoriqnestion,
the protection of sheep. the Railroads. so1
We hope the Hon. Members of the Leg
islature and all those connected with the
State Government, will have a pleasant
time of it during the session. and that they
will so legislate as to meet the appreciation
Of their constituents aud advance the inter-
ests Of the great State Of Iowa.

met in Columbus on the 22d. The atten-
dance of delegates was very good, and
among them were numbered many of the
more distinguished men of the church in
this state.
j. h. Warren, of Springfield, was
elected permanent chairman. There was
considerable discussion on the report of
the Committee on declaration Of princi-
pies, and very many eloquent expressions
of sentiment in regard to the faith of
the Christian and the Interpretation OF
religious terms we're drawn out. The
following "plank" is an epitomo of the
platform adopted That the Bible being
the revealed will of God, it should there
fore be accepted as the only infallible
guide in the formation of our religious
faith and practice. The report of the
Committee on State Organization was
taken up and considered item by item.
The organization is to be styled the Ohio
State Christian Association, and the OBJ
ject of the organization is to enable the
Church to more effectually carry forward
mission work, promote Sabbath School
nte rest, build up and enlarge the educa-
tional and publishing enterprises, and
provide for the want of ~superanuated
ministers VINO have died in the work.
FoREIGH.-The Prince of Wales has
consented to lay the foundation stone of

A society has just been formed in Lon
DON under the patronage of the Earl of
Shaftesbury, te commence a tentative
effort for the propagation of Christianity
among the Arabs. A young Christian
Arab, named Youhama Ell Karey, has
heen well educated in England for the
ministry, and is to be sent out to Pales-
tine, accompanied by an English physi-
clan Of approved piety.
As one of the fruits of the great revi-
val of religion in Sweden, a missionary
society has been formed at Stockholm,
and three young men, Messrs. Langley,
Carlson and Gellberg, have been sent out
to establish a mission among the Gala
tribes in Africa.
The average addition of members TO
the churches in heather lands, under the
American Board of Foreign Missions,
for the last twenty-five years, have been
2,2l9 for each year.
BY q decree of the Congregation of
Rites, at Rome, April, a formula for bless

The Provost Marshal Generals Re
port.


The forthcoming report of the Provost
Marshal General will be a highly inter
esting document, if we may judge of the
whole by the statistical fragments obtain
ed from the proof sheets. From these We
learn that during the war the sum of
S26, 1856, 3l6 was paid into the National
Treasury under the much abused $500
clause. OF this sum Pennsylvania con-
tributed eight and a half millions, and
New York five and 8 hall, making q
moiety of the entire sum. Ohio contribu-
ted sI,9Ts,ss7 to the fund; Kentucky
ss97,53O; Indiana, $685. $500; and Illinois
SIS, 900. Not adollar ofthe entire amount
was lost by fraud, accident, OF otherwise,
and the whole was collected an expense
Of less than seven-tenths of one per cent
Nerrly seventeen millions of the amount
were paid out for substitutes, ETC., leaving
a balance in the Treasuryo of $780, los.
From the same source We obtain the
fact that the largest number of colored
troops at any one time in service was
I23,I5s. OF these 5000 were credited to
Ohio, I96 to West Virginia, 1891 to In
diana, 1871 to Illinois, and a,7O3 to
Kentucky, The rebel sympathizers of
the last named State have especial reason
TO be thankful to the freedmen. But for
the gsllantryof the sable volunteers many
a Hneatral would have been exposed TO
the double annoyance of shooting at or
being shot BY his friends of the Confed-
eraev. ~
