IOWA SiII, NOV. ~, lc0os
EproRs OF GArE CRY: Examinations in
the Western part Of the State have revealed
the fact that nearly all the accessible rocks OF
the region Westward from the counties which
border the Des Moines rive1l belong to the
upper series of coal measure straka, and that
these are known to contain much less coal,
and more limestone than the lower series
The Des Moines river, during numberless
years Of the past, has gradually sroded it.
valley entirely through the coal meassre
strata, and runs now, along great portion
of : its course, upon The limestone which
forms the upper member Of the sub-carbon-
ferrous series in our State. II tins forms the
bed OF the river for long distances, the dip
OF the strata being to the Southwark, and in
snch cases il corresponds exactly With The
fall of the strsam.
The hills and high lands which ekirt he
river from Fort Dodge to Pennington are con-.
possd. principally At least, of lower coal
measure strata, and these, ~ before intimated,
contain the most productive beds Of coal. Il
10 not unreasonable to suppose that these
lower coal measure strata extend beneath The
upper series to the Western part Of the Ststs,
and that coal may yet be obtained from them
there BY sinking shafts down to them through
the upper Series but at present the valley d
the Des Moines furnishes far the largest pAr,
OF the coal of lows. While The Scensr REQ

A False Alarm,


IT is reported that the President lately, in
conversation with a friend, expressed his
unabated confidence in the flael triumph of
bis restoration policy He also took occasion
to condemn the project that was being agi-
tated in Congress for the overthrow of the
present State Governments at the South, and
declared that it would release those State
Governments from the payment Of their
State debts, and impose them upon the United
States.
We do not see how the overthrow of the
present illegal State Governments at the
South can impose the payment Of their State
debts upon the United S ates any more than
President JobnSon's overthrow Of their pre-
decessors involved the same result. Presi-
dent johnson found lot of Illegal State
Governments in exis ence at the South and
overthrew them. Did that action Of his
impose the payment of the Southern State
debts upon the United Statesp If not, how
will the overthrow of the present illegal State

Give it power throughout the country, and
we should behold that internal system re-
stored in fact, IL not in name, in every South
ern State. The virus of slavery worship is
in the very bones Of the conservatives. They
will not learn anything from the tremendous
events OF the last five years. They would,
even now, If they had the power, reverse the
wheels OF human progress, and carry us back
to the dreary despotism of the rule of the
slave power, when slaye-pens stood within
the shadow OF the dome of tde capitol, and
slave-gangs blocked up the streets Of Wash

human chaltles even upon the soil Of the free

ConseI Ivative Efforts TO Introduce Slavery
In Nj aTyIand.


In Nj aTyland.
IT would really seem that the conservative
faction that is now dominant in Maryland is
determined to rein.roduce slavery in that
State despite the Constitution and laws Of
the United States. Four negroes convicted
OF larceny were sold at Annapolis on Satur-
day, by order of Judge Magruder. Some
twenty or thirty farmers were present at the
sale. The first one sold was John johnson,
who bid for himself; and the auctloneer
taking his bid, he was finally knocked down
to himself, and became his own purchaser,
for $37, Another man brought $35, and two
girls brought respectively $22 and $50 each.
There was an officer of the Freedmen's
Bureau at the sale, and it was thought the
bidding would have been more spirited but
for the fact that an impression seemed to
prevail that the officer in question was about
to Interfere with the right of the purchasers
and release the negroes from the custody Of
| the purchaser. ~
his proceeding is direct and flagrant
violation of the Civil Rights law, which pro-
