IOWA.

Iowa is clear of debt. Alone, OF all the
States, she does not owe dollar. This is not the
result OF meanness or dishonesty. The people OF
Iowa did not shirk from their duty during the
war They paid their full share Of the public
expenses and sent their quota Of men to the held;

There is another singular virtue about the
State of Iowa which should be mentioned with
equal honor-indeed, it may serve to explain
the wonderful growth and prosperity of that
desirable fraction of the Union. Since the
DAYS of George Washington Jones and Augustus
Caesar Dodge the State has been steadily and
rapidly increasing her Republican strength.
The majority of Fremont over buchanan III
1855 was 1884; of Lincoln over Mcclellan IN
1864 il was 39,470. In the general stampede OF
last Autumn Iowa stood firm, even when Mas

lost, and Ohio divided with the enemy. The

THE FAMINE IN N0RTHERY AFRICA.


A letter from the American Consul in Tunis
gives heart rcnding details of the famine which,
for about year, has been prevailing in that
country, as well rs more or less in the whole
of Northern Africa. Nlultitudcs were pcrishng
in the city and the surrounding districts from
absolute starvation, and from the cold Supplies
of grain were not wanting In the port, but
many had no means whertwith to purchase
The Arab women were Offering their children
to Christians for a few coppers to purchase
bread Children scarcely able 10 walk were
found wandering in the streets crying for
food. their parents having died or forsaken
them.
The misery was chiefly to be found among
the Mohammedan population. Among the
Christians, who number upward of ten thousand
in the city and the environs, the poor were
receiving some relief Still better were the
Jewish poor provided for, the richer members
of the persuasion doing more for their relief
than all the other inhabitants combined had
done for their poor Among the Mohammedans
hardly anything was done TO alleviate the
suffering The stolid fatasm which is
one of the characteristic features of
Mohammcdan nations was exhibited In
all its frightful consequences The poor
themselves were literally starving few yards
from the provision stalls, gazing with wistful
eyes on the coveted food, but committing no
act of violence, and scarcely one of piferlng.
The Weather classes were viewing the suffer
ings of their brethren with stoical apathy,
looking upon it as dispensaton of Provi-
dence which it would be useless, perhaps sin
full, to mitigate. A Moorish hospital, richly
endowed, was receiving the cOrpses picked up
each morning in the street, to prepare them for
burial, but to the living admission was refused.
The history of this famine is another illus
tration of the causes which have led to the
decay of the whole Mohammedan world.
Their fatalism makes them regardless OF the
most fundamental principles of social economy
and national welfare. They are unwilling to
resort to precautionary measures against immi-
ncnt dangers. and alphabetically suffer the
greatest miseries which all civilized govern
ments have found means either to avert or at
least to mitigate. There is, fortunately, move
ment in Egypt, in Turkey, in Persia, and to
some extent in other Mohammedan countries,
to shake off Mohammedan fatalism, and to ac-
cept frankly the results of modern civilization
but before it can be successful, millions of
human beings, we fear will yet have to pay
dearly for the terrible consequences of q false
sociology

The announcement which was made few
weeks ago that Prince Napoleon would soon
publish pamphlet on the foreign and do
nestle affairs of France, naturally created a
great sensation. However sincere the Red
Prince" may be in his profession of Liberal
principles, the speech delivered by him few
years ago at AjacciO is conclusive proof that
he can talk like an earnest French Democrat.
Prince Napoleon is an open opponent of the
Temporal Power, and in favor of a sincere re-
cognitiOn Of the nationality principle in the
Italian and German questions The Emperor
would not have derived much consolation from
the pamphlet, and has, therefore, deemed it the
wiser course to forbid its publication. The
Parisians, who are thus deprived of the ex-
peted sensation, are, of course, highly indig-
nant at the decision of the Emperor.

otor, and to assail the foundation OF our po-
ethical fabric, which is, that the decision of
"the people is infallible, from which there is
"no appeal but to heaven"
One more distinguished Democratic patriot,
President, and patron saint, Gen. jackson, has
thus placed himself upon record: If the opin-
zion of the Supreme Court covered the whole
" ground of this act it ought not to control the
"coordinate authorities of this Government.
"The Congress, the Executive and the Court,
"must each for itself be guided by its own
"opinion of the Constitution. 1t is as
"much the duty of the House OF Representa-
"tives, of the Senate, and of the President to
decide upon the constitutionaity of any bill
or resolution which may be presented to them
I" for passage or approval as 1t Is OF the Su-
"preme Judges when it may be brought be-
" fore them for judicial decision. The opinion
of the Judges has no more authority over
Congress than the opinion of Congress over
"the Judges The authority OF the
"Supreme Court must not, therefore, be per-
emitted to control Congress or the Executive
"when acting in their legislative capacities, but
"to have only such influence as the force OF
"their reasoning may deserve" Such are some
of the opinions of the patriarchs and prophets
of the party who are shrieking because Congress
proposes to express a modification Oh such oplh-
ions by making it necessary that two-thlrds OF
the Court must concur before 1t can annul the
careful legislation of two-thirds of the Senate
and House of Representatives, the immediate
agents of the people.

We hope that Gen. Logau's bill to distribute
the clerkships at Washington among the sew
eral States in proportion to their population
will not be seriously pressed. There is no
danger that the local zeal of politicians from
all sections of the country will ever be made
quate in the matter of the distribution of Off
cial plumber. Sections, States. counties. and
towns, will always be represented while ca
pacity, integrity and economy, have but few
spokesman. Let the proposed Civil Bureau be es-
tabshed for the examination of all applicants
for Government offices and clerkships; and, so far
as possible, let these be appointed in the in
terest of the public service for qualifications,
and not in the interest of parties and geo
graphical sections for political services.

Mr. Sumner has introduced a bill in the
Senate and Mr.. Bingham in the House, to de-
clare that as twenty-five States OF the twenty
seven now participating in the Government
have adopted the proposed Fourteenth Amend
ment, it is, therefore, part of the Constitution.
BY official statement from Mr.. Seward to Con-
gress, il appears that Connecticut, ew-damp-
SHIRE Tennessee, New-Jersey, Vermont, Ore
gon, New-York, Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia
Kansas. Nevada. Missouri, Indiana, Minnesota
Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Mich
igan. Massachusetts,, Nebraska, and Maine
have adopted the amendment. The Con-
stitutin provides no mode by which the
adoption of a constitutional amendment shall
be authoritatively declared. AS Congress has
clearly the legislative power to enact by whom
and in what manner its adoption shall be de-
clared it doubtless has no less power to make
tho declaration itself. Should the bill pass
they will decide the point that three-fourths OF
tho acting States may adopt constitutional

We print two narratives elsewhere which will
be read with interest. The World and The
Heratd tell us again the story of Grants
"turpitude" and "perfdy." These narratives
are entertaining, but they prove nothing. The
point we make with MIR. johnson is that he
strives to gain reputation for vigor, not by
doing things, but by telling us constantly
what he would have done if he only had had,
&c, &C. 1t is not too late. His Excelency

Following the Presidents "encOmiastic' mes
SAGE on Gen. Hancock, that unfortunate COM
mander is compelled to endure similar fling
from Gen. Il. f. Lee, who declares that the
course of Gen. Hancock was " the first dawn
"of hope he had seen for the people of the
"South since the termination of the war" AS
the termination of the war; in the way it did,
could hardly be regarded by Gen. Lee as any
" dawn of hope" whatever to the people of the
South, we must suppose that he meant the out
break of the Rebellion. Then he saw dawn
of hope for the South, and again at Bull Run,
and still again at McClellan's defeat before
Richmond-and now again in Gen. Hancock's
course in New-Orleans We admit that there
ia n political likeness between all these events;
and they may be dawn for the South, but the
are sunset ut the North.

Lord SANKEY'S speech at the Ministerial Din
ner at Bristol falls like wet blanket on Par
liamentary Reform and the political enfran-
chisement of Ireland 1t is, moreover, full of
British complacency, and contains, beside, a
covert attempt to conceal English misrule by
attributing the dsaffection in Ireland to Amer
lean soldiers. lrish-Americans could have but
little influence in Ireland but for British OPP
preston and disagreement; and it is deplOra-
bic that while some English statesmen see
clearly the true causes of the Fenian troubles,
the Ministerial party will persist in overlook
ing them, and at the same time deny justice
to the Irish. The land question in Ireland is
as much the cause of the Englishman as the
lrishman, because it is the cause of humanity,
and when Lord Stanley says it is not to be
thought OF, lie simply says that justice is not
to be done, forgetful that right will always
assert itself and in the end triumph over might
