When negro suffrage was first advocated
by the Chicago Times, the Democratic party
we're so thunders,ruck and Mortified that it
became questionable whether that sheet
would be able to survive the storm of indig.
nation which greeted il from nearly every
quarter; bu, tho war cry By which the IN
palatable doctrine was to be forced down the
tEroa,s Of the negotiating Democracy, was
policy BY il they were soon to come again
into the happy possession Of the loaves and
fishes. BY it they we're again to WELD the
scertre Of authority which haa so long been
withheld from them. What Democrat could
resist the temptation? And thus eommen.
ced the unnatural revolution which is even
drawing into line such sheets as the New
York World, the leading Demo ratio organ
of the United States. Even such bitter op-
ponents Of liberal ideas~s the Independence
Con.nrdfiret running from one extreme the
o,her) admit that negro suffrage is newt
able" We may expect that question to
be decided BY common consent in favor OF
the negro, in our coming political canvass.
1t will be cminen,ly fitting, then, for the Re
publican party to advocate in favor Of wo.
man what they have heretofore upheld for
the ncgro-impartial suffrage.

NEW TENrERANcE OReASyzArIox.--
By late number Of the Good Templars'
Gem, Temperance paper published a, 0s-
kaloosa, in this State, we learn that new
order has been inaugura.ed at Oskaloosa,
called the Host of Temperance. The or
ganization is formed on the military plan.
The intia.ory ceremonies are said to be
beautiful and impressive. Unless the or,
ganiza,ion compartments more than that Of
the Good Templars, we are unable to dis
cover the utility of its establishment, as sue
cess in securing the objects sought after by
the friends Of temperance depends very
greatly upon unity and combination of effort.
The order Of Good Templars nigh, be rem
dered much more efficient by cooperative
effort; its greatest defect lying in its imper-
fec, organization. Still il is probably better
adapted TO aid the cause Of temperance than
any order extant, and any defects Of organ
iza,on which ii may now possess had better
be remedied within the order. than be per
mit,ed to lead to distraction through other
organizations.

DEFECrs.

It has been objected to a democratic form
OF government that the faithful execution Of
its laws depends entirely upon popular opin-
ion, which oftentimes fails to accord that &C.
tive support to law and its officials which
would be afforded through the more positive
will and efficient system Of a monarchy. In
despotic governments, the executive system
is 10 perfected that the violation Of Law is
almost sure to be followed BY the discovery
aud punishment Of the offender, while in our
own, the chances are more largely in favor
Of the criminal. Upon asurface view, this
fact would argue in favor of the despo,ic
form Of government but We must remem.
Der that our system is comparatively new,
with machinery only in an experimental and
formative process, and that we cannot expect
such entire efficiency in the execution of law
Is : exhibited by nations Of mature age
But while ~ boast Of our freedom and re.
publican principles, let us not forge; that in
many respects our governmental system
must be copied after those Of longer standing
Thus, agents to execute the laws arc as es-
sential in republican as in monarchial
government, the distinctive difference lying
in Il cir immediate source of authority-the
people in one case, and the monarch in the
other. We may therefore profitably study
the machinery through which these agents
act in older governments, and apply the re.
sulting information to the improvement OF
our own. 1t is undeniable that our police
system is inadequate to decen. enforcement
Of our laws. 1t is constantly improving, es.
pecially in the older States, but here in
Iowa The efficient execution Of our criminal
laws can only be effected by the perform.
ance, on the part Of the people themselves,
Of those duties which properly appcrsain to
their civil officers. An efficient police leader
might so organize our whole executive sys-
tenn as to render the escape Of horse-thief
or the selling Of intoxicating liquors con.
trary to law, almost impossible. It is just
such . system which We most urgently need.
With it the organization Of horse>shief pro.
lection societies and temperance leagues
will become unnecessary, and the people
may feel assured that the laws will be ex>
scuted BY the agents appointed for that pur-
pose. We now appoint agents, pay them
we'll, and perform their proper duties our.
selves.

Railroads from Muse atine and Das export

The position Of MuScatinc and Davenport
is such that they must o. necessity seek and
obtain railroad communication in the direct
tian of Anamosa, or fall behind their rivals
in growth and prosperity. This is fully con,
ceded By their shrewd aud thoughtful men,
aid both places are looking to connect with
the Dubuque Southwestern, to be immedi-
ately followed by extension to ST. Paul and
hey nd into British Territory. The one
thing now is to build to Anamosa, and all
the rest follows as matter Of course, and
through the action of the people along the
line. Below we publish an article from the
Independence Bulletin Of last week.
We presume the doubts of Brother LOOMS
will soon be at rest. The war had suspended
operations aud it headed time to re-organixe
