-D--|r f. s%&
The loyal people Of the country decided at
the polls last fall between the policy Of the
President and the petition Of Congress on the
great question Of reconstruction. The whole
question, in all its bearings, Was before the
people, and they acted upon it with due de-
liberation and repudiated the policy OF the
President and his presumption in pressing
that policy by . most emphatic expression OF
their will.
Why does not the President obey the will
of the people7 Why does he insistin setting
up his own will and his own interests against
the will and interests of the people upon .
question Of policy? Why seek to act the
despot, while playing the d~emagogue7 Does
he own this Government, as the despots OF
Europe and Asia claim to own theirs? Is he
the State, as Louis XIV. claimed to be? Ia
his will, or the will of the people of the Uni
ted States, as ccnstitutionally expressed al
the ballot. box, to be carried out? Must the
people yield to him, or be to the people
That is the question; and Its decision is a de
cision in favor of the principle of dcspotism,
or Of republicanism.
Congress is the representative of the peo
pie, the exponent of the peoples viii, con-
stitutionally vested with authority from them
and if the President succeeds in thwartinl
the will of the people, and overruling the &C
ton of Congress, then the will of one mar
prevails over the will of the people. Ant
that, as all our readers know, is the character
istic feature of despotism, and in direct an
tagonism to the principle Of our free insti,u
tons.

Some one with a military turn of mind
gives the following rules where gentlemen va
cate seats for ladies in churches;
LET the lady advance one pace beyond
the door of the pew she wishes to enter, halt,
about face and salute. The pew must then
be vacated by snch gentlemen rs are in it by
q flank movement. The, squad should rise
simultaneously when the lady presents her
self, and face by the right flank, then deploy
into the aisle, the head man facing the lady,
and the rest walking to his right and rear. the
direction of the line being changed BY a right
conntermarch, and forming again. into line,
up aud dow the aisle, still facing to the right
flank. The lady, when she sees the coast is
clear, completes her salute, and advances to
her position in the pew. The gentlemen then
break of by files from the rear, and resume
their places.

The course Of President johnson in sane.
.ioning the whipping and sale Of the negroes
FOR scores Of petty offences b. the local authors
tiles Of North Carolina, has increased the busi>
ness TO wholesale propositions. Partly IN
contempt o, the military Of the United States,
whom johnson has snuhbed, partly with a
view Of gratifying the President. and mainly
to restore slavery TO all practical %intents,
and supply the planters with cheap laborers,
all the old segro- restraining and furnishing
statutes of the old Slave States are being en-
forced, and a large proportion OF the negroes
| in many localities are being sold into slavery.

SOM of our contemporaries seem disposed
20 censure Gov. HAYWOOD for bis part in .
little Senatorial dialogue on the floor of the
Senate the other day. The matter is too tri-
fling in itself to merit q newspaper paragraph,
except by way of filling up a little vacant
space in the editorial columns. Such SPAR
ring in the Senate has no more significance
than o similar c~olloquy at the bar by lawyers
IN the discharge OF their duties before the
court.
Senator SUMNER is crochety and impracti~
cable on the floor Of the Senate, and is often
disposed to s~acriice practical measures and
actual advantages in his devotion to abstrac-
tons. And, in illustration of this proclivity,
he opposed the admission of Nebraska as q
State, because the constitution did not grant
the right of suffrage to negroes, and de-
nounced the constitution as Infamous.
Senator kIRKwooD, who Was annoyed, no
doubt, with SUMNER, on account of his dispo-
sition to sacrificetwo Republican Senators and
. member of Congress, aud to exclude the
State Of Nebraska and ~irritate her people,
over q question OF little practical moment so
Tar as the State Of Nebraska is concerned,
took exception to his remark that the consti-
rational provision was infamous, and insisted
that it was an aspersion of the State Of |
u we'll as the people Of Nebraska, for We
lad the same constitutional provision.
Mr.. SUMNER stated that he made no allu-
sion 70 Iowa and intended none. There the
matter ought to have been dropped, and it
was simply an indiscreet lack of Senatorial
courtesy for Mr.. KIRKwooDto insist on taking
the remark as at all personal to Iowa after
the disclaimer of any such intent. But as we
saidsat the outset, the whole thing is of no
earthly consequence, and cannot be made SO
by any ingenuity of friend or foes of either
party.

ZEE sIMPLH TITLE OF srnHnrs m
THE CITY.

ZEE DlMRkB TITLB o. DER3DTD n
The CITY.
In . recent case before the Supreme Court
of the State Of lows, Of the city Of DNs
MONIES u. Sythia Hall, Judge Lowe delivered
the opinion Of the Court, declaring that the
fosmal grant, survey, plat and record Of IN
addition to city vests the fee simple title Of
the streets and alleys Ia txs city, and thai Ia
erantor has noNnshts reserved of any char
sc.er in the same, any more than any other
man.
This decision is very broad and goes
what further, we think, than the weight OF
authority might seem to justify, but is amply
justified BY the provision Of the Code on
grounds of justice and public conven-
fence.
The owner of land don't make q town oft
usually, except there be ample consideration
moving him thereto, and after selling out the
lots at largely advanced rates in consequence
of the conservation of the streets and alleys
to the use Of the purchasers there is no req
son that he should nave any reserved rights
or easements in the said streets, slleys and
public grounds above his fellow townsman.
In the case decided the original owner
opened a coal mine under the street and
claimed that the title to the land remained in
the ~grentor, aud that the public or the city
only had the right of way over it.
The plat of the addition, and the deed
thereto, of the city Of Des Moines was made
in pursuance of the Code of which the follow
ing is one clause:
.sThe acknowledgment and recording OF
such plat Is equivalent to a deed IN tee SIM
pie of such portion of the land as is therein
set apart for public use or is dedicated to
charitable. religious or educational pur-
poses
The Court say:
1--WE are inclined to believe that it WAS te
object of the Legislature in withholding TIE
title of the streets from the lot owner-di
ves,ine the proprietor thereof-and placing II
in the public, to give the corporate antho1i-
ties the fullest power and control over the
same which can arise from title, in order thal
all improvements of them as highways nigh
be made without let or hindrance from ahl
quarter. At all events, it is always the bet
ter and safer course to interpret a statute &C
cording to the natural import Of the language
used. Applying the rule OF construction 0
the section Of the code Of 1851, supro, VI
cannot be at q loss to determine its meaning
and to hold that it does rest the absolute It'll
in the public. As such, the defendant has nj
more right to mine and take out coal from
one or more of the streets OF her addition
than any stranger, and the law will hold he
equally amenable Ar the trsspass,"
That is the true doctrine, aud settles a
once all nice distinctions between the propri
etor of a town site and the public, puts al
end to many vexatious claims Of rights ant
easements against the public interests, AM
dries up the source from which more OF les
litigation is constantly springing.
If any difficulty is lik ely to arise from tn
vacation OF q town plat, or the failure TO us
tile grant, let the Legislature provide by lay
the proper remedy.

voItaire on Marriage.

Yoltaire said ''The more married men
You have the fewer cumes there will be.
Marriage renders a man more ~virtuous aud
more wise. A man unmarried is but half able
TO make things right. and it cannot be ex-
pected thar in this imperfect state he can keep
the straight path of r~ectitude, any more than
q boat with one oar, or q bird with one wing
can keep a straight course. In nine cases
out Of ten, where married men become
drInkards, or where they commit crimes
against the peace of the community, the
foundation of these acts was laid while in a
single state. or where the wife is. as is some
times the case, an unsuitable match. Mar
riage changes the current of a man s feelings,
and gives him a center for his thoughts, his
affections and his acts. Here is a home for
the entire man, and the interest Of his better
half keeps him from erratic courses, and from
falling into a thousand temptations to which
he would otherwise be exposed. Therefore,
the friend to marriage is the friend to society
and his country
