The Necessity for Publishing Laws In
COpperhead Newspapers.

The following discussion i'm the lower
House of the Iowa Legislature on the
question of publishing laws i'm the Dcs
Moines Statesman. n rank Copperhead
print, will he interesting to Democrats: /:
Mr.. Flanders offered IL resolution that
the standing Committees of the House
be instructed in reporting back bills to
this House to strike therefrOm the name
of the IOpa Statesman, and substitute
IOca HoHesteod. He was opposed to
having the State pay anything TO a pa
per that had prolonged the war--a paper
which has done all in its power in op-
position to the caiIse of the Union.
Mr.. Ballinger was opposed To exclud-
ing from patronage a paper which num-
bered among its readers "a, 900 legal yo-
ters. He hoped there would lac cour-
tesy extended to the minority. Ia 1865
he expected to see this party i'm the as
cendent and il would be hard on the
now dominant party to have the tables
turned.
Mr.. Burnett believed that party
which took the course the Democrats
have during the war Justly brought
down upon its head the c0ntumely of
the people; but he wished q certain
courtesy and liberality exercised tow
ards the opposition now that war Is
over. He sympathized with the feel
ings Of soldiers towards such paper,
but let the laws be printed for the infor.
nation Of the people.
Mr.. Tracy had come to the conclusion
that it was not yet time for the Demo-
cratic party to ask for courtesy. In this
charge of completely with treason. We
cannot forget that members Of that par
ty have winked at all the atrocities of
the rebellion, at the barbarities exercis-
ed towards Union prisoners, and the
attempt to scatter contagious diseases
throughout the land. He opposed the
general principle. He had little fear
that the people Of Iowa would so far fail
from grace as to send up here i'm 1868 a
legislature in which majority of the
members shall be the enemies of the
country. The threat of the gentleman
from Lee (Mr. Ballinger), wouldn't
have much weight. 1t wasn't yet time
to be liberal or courteous to party that
had sympathized with traitors. 1t
should do penance awhile. Perhaps i'm
1868 it might answer to.
Mr.. Finkbine 'agreed in the main
with what everybody had said on this
question but i'm some particulars he
disagreed with several Of the members.
He believed the Democrats were more
liable to violate law than the domirant
party, hence he would let them know
what the law is.
Mr.. Fellows moved to postpone the
whole matter till Tuesday, at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Roberts moved to postpone till
the 4th of July. Amendment accepted
by Mr.. Fellows and adopted by tho
House.

Sad Eject OF whisky.

A week ago last Tuesday Mr.. Andrew
Jackson Hoffman, living seven miles
east of town, came to the city but failed
to return home. His friends became
alarmed and sent the next day to learn
what had become OF him. They hunt
ed among the saloons, as he was known
as one Of their victims, aud learned in
the evening he was at McGuircs on
the Avenue, and about O'Clock left
Luther's near the Third Ward School
House, OF course after going the rounds,
badly intoxicated. But no further
trace could be discovered of him until
Tuesday, when his dead body was found
within 200 yards Of his house, but of
from the road, from which he had wan
dercd in his whisky-produced deleri-
um, under a tree. He lad trampcd
around in the snow, evidently trying to
find his way, and finally sank down
exhausted, and yielded up his life, and
left q wife and eight childrcd IN power
ty to buffet with the world. = lown Ct,.

Somebody's Son.

The following poem is old and good as old
We have published it before; but the impor.
tant information it communicates to parents
Is ample excuse for reproducing it:
Somebody's son was out last night,
Brushing about the town;
And, If | mistake not, he was fi0ht--
Tight as Derby clown"
1know he's considered a moyul youth,
Above suspicion: but that t-i5
Is no reason--to tell the truth
He hadn't n brick in his hat
Daylight morality often takes
Strange fancies into his head,
And" plays the d., or jumps up snakes -
While the public eye Is in bed
M son can't Dance" somebody said,
For never a lesson took he
But he danced last night while You were
And twilight was there to see.
You may call it dancing or not, as you feel,
Though for half an hour or more,
He danced or Jigged IA " tangle-foot reel"
In front of my Office door.
My son can't sing" somebody swears,
But he sang last night, l know,
As rough a song as II demon dares
10 sing in the regions below.
MY son don't imbibe," somebody thinks.
Well, maybe he don't--but then,
That he acts very much like one who drinks,
Can be proved by a hundred men.
Yes something was tight--yes drunk--last
SO drunk it could hardly crawl
Perhaps twas the brim of u crownless hat
That found by my garden wall.
For fear am wrong and somebody's right,
My nasty words recall,
And say that the thing saw last night,
Was n0body's son-that's all.

Rest.

, The following lines were found under the nil
low OF soldier who was lying dead in a hos
pital near Port Royal, S. c.:
/ lag me down to sleep.
With little thought or care
Whether my waking find
Me here or there.
bowling, burdened head
That only asks to rest,
Cnquestioning, upon
A loving breast.
My good right hand forsets
It's cunning now
To march the weary march
know not how.
am not eager. bold,
Nor strong-all that is past:
am ready not to do
AT last, at last.
My half days work is done
And that is all my part;
give a patient God
My patient heart,
And grasp this banner STILL
Though all its blue be dim:
These stripes, no less than stars
Lead after Him.

What Must and Shall Be.

Mr. wilson OF Massachusetts closed a
speech in the y. S. Senate with the fol-
lowing noble burst of eloquence:
want every rebel and every rebel
sympathizer, every rcpentant and un-
repcntant rebel in the country, to un-
derstand that the loyal men of this
nation who voted their treasure and
offered up their blood, who gave their
sons to the preservation of the menaced
Union and the imperilled cause of lib
erty, have sworn it, they have written
it on the lids of their Bibles, they have
engraved it on their door.posts, that
these enfranchised men shall be free in
decd not serfs, not slaves, and that
no btdck taps nor unfriendly legislation
shall linger on the statute-book of any
commonwealth i'm America. They arc
sure to triumph, and all around may
as well understand it at once. The men
in this country who committed them
selves to the cause of liberty, justice,
humanity, and ChristiOn civilization,
are baffled sometimes, but defeated
never. They have put men up and put
men down. They have grappIed with
ideas and with organizations, and they
have come off victors. With tho attri-
butes of Almighty God, every thing
pure and holy OH earth and i'm heaven
inspiring TO action, they are snrc to
triumph IN The future as in the past. If
anybody doubts this let him look back
over the last twenty five years of con-
flict in our country, and see on every
rod of our march the political graves Of
great and able men who went down
under the stern condemnation of a
Christian and liberty-lOving people.
We should look hopefully into the
future; but to do that we must not
close our eyes to the facts that are about
us. We must take nobody's fair, soft
words; we must not trust to any thing
but hrerersiJte guarantees Of Werty.-
| will not trust repentant rebels with
the liberties of the meanest man that
treads the soil Of the republic: / will
not trust ourselves, nor will trust 9TH
ers. hold that there is not a freed
man treading the soil Of rebel State
to-day who is not entitled to the pro-
lection of just, humane, and equal laws
as much rs ! am or any man about me.
These freedmen, ground and degrad-
ed by two centuries of slavery, will in
all respects be free they will 20 on
WiH as and us, in the career Of eke-.
ration and improvement; and we of the
North and they Of the South, Of every
race, will contribute to develop and ele-
vate, and make immortal our great con-
tinental Republic.

Disgraceful Transactions.

The public Of our city were aroused
to a strong feeling Of Indignation and
disgust, OH "Wednesday and Thursday
last, by the reports of an outrage upon
the person of woman, not long since.
The story ran that one Gottleib Wurst
Il married man, gave AutOn Schneider
Il keg of beer for the freedom OF his
home and wife; that Mrs. Schneider
objected to the arrangement, and that
her husband compelled her, by threats
OF her life, to submit to the embraces OF
Wurst. On Wednesday, an informa-
ton was filed before Justice Honning-
sen, by Joseph Meyer, brother of the
woman, and Wurst aud Schneider were
arrested on the charge OF rape. The
former gave 81 900 bonds for his appear
ance next day, and the latter lay in the
caluboose over night. No trial was had !;
the parties settled, Wurst paying the
woman $50; and the public feeling was
changed to one of disgust merely
The facts of the case appear to be that
Wurst, on New Years night, being
drunk, went to Schneider's, called him
up, and wanted him TO go to the brewery
to do some work. Wurst then took his
place in the family bed, and Schneider
sought virtuous repose elsew here in his
donicile. Nothing was said about the
dudII uHtii icCtutjyy Wueu DcIlHelueT,
while drunk, boasted Of the money OF
the larger he had obtained Of Wurst In
the transaction. This coming to the
brothers. cars, he instituted the prose-
cution. There being nothing to sustain
the charge or rape, and the parties
Immediately interested apparently be.
/ ing quite content, compromise was
easily effected. Meyer stipulated, we
believe, that the parties should leave
town, and it is to be hoped that this
part of the agreement will be carried
out.--Lyons Misvor, 1871.
GoING TO RosroS.-A sweet little
girl i'm New Haven, only three year,
old, was promised one evening that sh,

her little prayer, as she laid down Il

simplicity, "Good-by, God-good-by

The Iowa Central Railroad.

The Des Moincs Register has tho fol-
lowing pleasant information In regard
to the Iowa Central: ....t
The prospects of this road are good.
The increased interest manifested along
the whole line is encouraging. All
the counties are ready for work early In
che spring with the exception of two.
The stock will all be taken in time to
put the entire line under contract early
in the season. The work of grading
and bridging from Cedar Falls to Tole-
do Is all under contract, and will be
completed by the 2d of July this year,
ready for the iron and rolling Stock
The Engineers have completed part
OF their surveys in Appanoose county,
and the connection has been made
with the North Missouri Railroad.--
The Engineers are hard ut work, pre-
pairing the estimates of each county
along the line. The grading and bridg-
ing in each county will be commenced
as soon as the weather will permit early
in the spring. The building of the
Iowa Central is fixed fact, and its
completion will be of vast benefit to the
entire State, as well as the counties il
passes through. The building of this
road will be one of the best regulators
Of the excessive tariffs prevailing on
the east and west roads now In opera
ton in the State. .a.
1t is designed that this road shall be
owned as much as possible within the
state, and to keep the control of 1t from
going abroad. With this in view, the
people of each county on the route are
called on to subscribe to sufficient
amount of stock to grade and bridge
the road, ready for the ties in their
county. And the people are taking
hold of It with an cagerness that indi-
Gates they are decidedly in earnest
The road will meet the North Mis-
souri, road ut point In the south west
ern corner of Davis county, and runs
north on the dividing ridge between
the Charlton and Des Moines, which
divide is in fact an extension of the
great table, that parts the waters Of the
Mississippi from those Of the Missouri.
Reaching Monroe county, the line fol-
lows a spur of the same ridge, and
thence strikes the Dcs Moincs at Eddy
vile. North of that river, il passes
through the counties of Mahaska (by
Oskaloosa), Powesheik, Tama (by To.
ledo), and Black Hawk, to Cedar Falls.
AT that place it will connect with the
road now being constructed up the Cc-
dar Valley towards st. Paul.
Mr.. Peter Melendy, Vice President
General Agent, called on us yesterday,
and to them we are indebted for much
valuable Information concerning the
prospects of this railroad, one of the
most important projects, If not abso-
lutely the most important, of its kind
| ever brought before the people of Iowa.
