We have frequently beard of combina>
ton of politicians in the interests of pes
Moines. and it has been intimated that the
State Printer elect was or is embraced in
sha, combination. Now on general prinei>
pies, charge, of this character are made from
partisan hatred, or in the interests Of aspir>
ing individuals, but occasionally something
transpires to give very strong coloring to
lust such accusations. We have remark
able instance Of this character in . bill re-
Gently introduced by Senator J. G. Pat;er>
son, OF Floyd County, for the repeal Of the
law authorizing the printing of blanks for
county use in the counties, aud haring the
rurl done by the STATE Priater instead. If
that doesn't look like axes 10 grind and
combination" then are We politically stone
blind. This same Senator Patterson at the
las, session was bitterly opposed to every
bill which would bring any patronage tcAfhe
local press Indeed he seems inspired with that
same hatred Of country printers which is SO
conspicuously manifested by Senator Cassell.
We hardly think Mr.. Mills, the State Printer
elect, has asked for the passage Of bill
which takes county printing from the poorly
sustained country press and places the profits
in his own hands at the Capital; but wha,
Office is Senator Patterson fishing for, that
he deems i; necessary to secure the influence
Of the State Register (cf which Mills L Co.
are Proprie,ors) by throwing additional pat.
ronage into its hands .. the expense Of
the country press.

IOWA LEGISlATURE.

During the week ending the ith inst, .
large amoan, Of business was laid out, peti'
tons presented, resolutions and bills intro
duccd and some bills passed.
Senator Donnan presented bill amend
ing the game law, on the 2s,h ult. Among
other bills was one to repeal the &C, for the
publication Of the laws, introduced in the
House by Lambert, Of Dallas. A petition
from the bar of this county for an argument
term Of the Supreme Court at Dubuque, was
presented on the 4ih. So numerous are the
petitions for and against Tie more stringen,
prohibi,ory law that the House Committee
on the suppression of intemperance was al
lowed clerk on the 3lst Ilt. Petitions for
q more stringent law, signed by about 50.-
600 persons have leen presented since the
or .ning Of the Legislature. Quite num-
Der Of petitions for license law have also
been presented. The Attorney General de-
clares that the proceedings thus far had with
relation to the proposed suffrage amendment
are strictly regular. A bill has been intro>
duced for the erection of new Court House,
TO cost not more than $500, ,oo0. Mr.
Wilcox from the Committee on Ways and
Means, reported on Monday in favor of al
lowing Boards of Supervisors to levy taxes

preferable that few thoroughly prepared

A CORRECTlON.

The Dubuque Herald corrects our state,
nens that the resolution declaring the sale
Of intoxicating beverages o crime. was in
troduced by Mr.. Wilcox, by avcrring that
the resolution was introduced by Mr.. Trus-
dell, as was represented in the selegraphic
repos: to that paper. The Herald is corr
rect, and We are compelled to transfer oul
words Of approval from Mr. Wilcor to Mr.
Trusdell, although We believe Mr.. Wilcox
fayors the principle embodied in the rese!u
ton.
We admire enterprise, wherever exhibited
and therefore cheerfully accord to the Du
buque Herald its deserving praise for the
completeness and accuracy of its Des Moine'
dispatches, giving thorough digest Of th'
proceedings Of each day session Of the Leg

THE SUPREME COUNT.

The question Of the power OF the Supreme
Court to set aside law Of Congress, al
though never before debated with the inter-
es. now de eselof1 by its discussion, is far
from being a .ioyel one. The same may be
said Of the position Congress takes. that in
certain cases it has no authority. The opin.
ion Of Jefferson, Jackson, Benton, Van Bu.
rem, and John Quincy Adams, Madison,
Clay, Calhoun, Mclean, and other eminent
expounders Of the Constitution, was, that
whis the Cou,t might, in :" case in lar or
e1uify," TO quote the grant Of powerl be-
tween parties properly before il, render a
Judgment iayalidating law Of Congress,
And while its decision would he binding up,
| on the parties 10 that case, yet if the Court
embracea the occasion to deliver political
pyonuncidmento it Travelled out Of the record,
and its opinions were not binding upon the
legislative or executive departments OF the
Government.
This entombs the pernicious dogma Of the
unlimited power Of the Court over purely po.
litcal questions. 1t is evident from care>
fuI study of the organic law Of the Republic
that If any branch Of the Government il su-
preme it Is Congress, and that the House Of
Representatives body directly amenable
to the people-was the favorate Of our cons
stitutioDal fathers. The great majority ol
special grants Of power are to Congress, but
not content With that, the Constitution gives
to the legislative branch of the Government
the following discretionary, or supreme, su-
thority,
" "Congress shall have power 10 make all
laws which shall be necessary and proper
for carrying into execution the foregoing
powers and all Other powers vested BY this
Constitution in the Goverpmentsof the Uni
ted States, or in any department or Office
| thereof"

TAE REACTION.

The great reaction" so gloatingly
sounded by the Democrac y, met a
very sudden aud unexpected check
In Ohio, ON the 9th inst. The
death of Hon. C. S. Hamilton, men,
ber Of Congress from the eighth dis
tric,. left vacancy to be filled at a
special election Gen. John Beatty
was the Republican and Barnabas
Burns the Democratic candidate.
The campaign was conducted sigor-
ously on both sides, and the Demo
Gratis were very confident of . great
victory. The result was the election
of Gen. Beatty by majority OF over
one thousand, while the Republican
majority in the district, last fall, was
only e47. This is reaction with a
vengeance, and only proves the asser-
tions made by far-sighted statesmen,
that the partial reverses of last fall
are TO be followed by overwhelming
Republican victories this year. Ev-
en- Val!andingham himself, asserts
that this first gun Of the Presidential
year, presages a Republican victory
in Ohio Of 10000 to $4,000.

sense than we have vet observed in any of
the erinolined advocates Of female suffrage
Mrs. Cady Stanton, George Francis Train,
and the gentle Anna Dickinson included.
We find the foregoing in the Cedar Valley
Tines Of the 9th inst. The medical editor
Of that sheet would hardly have made such
an exhibition Of ignorance, covert malice
and barbarous pref adice. had he been aware
of the fact that nearly all the liberal legisla>
ton in the Eastern States, concerning wo-
man, during the last fifteen years, was
brought about through the personal exertion
Of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, whom the
Times sneeringly places first in the list of
crinolined advocates Of female suffrage,
This is simply q matter OF fact in history
and i, is further a matter Of fact that such
noble women as Anna T.. Dickinson and
Mrs. Stanton are doing more to open the
eyes of the people to the defects our goy-
ernment and to the necessity for more liber-
al ard enlightened legislation to secure jus>
tice TO women, than all the editors of the
country combined-shame to the fossilized

We are happy 10 see 50 soon in our own

ened in its legislation concerning woman
than any other State, and viii probably be
the first to concede to woman her indefess,

affects herself as well as her brothers. This
primary right Of freedom cannot long be
withheld from woman by the State which
prides itself with being in the van Of govern
mental progress.

introduced the resolution in the House de-
nouncing the injustice Of discriminating
against female teachers in the matter Of
wages, is the youngest member ofshe House,
