Alabama.

More definite returns from the Ala
bama elections show that the new con-
stitution is defeated. This is all owing
to- a blunder in the Reconstruction Act
whereby the loyal men were required
to vote down not only the rebels but all
the absentees who might be kept away
by every imaginable cause. The Chi
cago Tribune in an able article on this
subject says that tthc question of the
admission of Alabama lies I'm q nut
shell. The power of Congress to admit
the State under the new constitution,
is certainly as great as the power to
pass the original Reconstruction law.
Both rest upon the same principle
The question to be decided is not
whether the new government is agree
able to the rebels, but whether il Is
Republican in form, and whether it ac-
complishes the object sought by the
conquering power. The difference be-
tween remanding Alabama to military
rule and admitting her into the Union
under the new constitution, is too hair
breadth to waste words upon, so far as
any principle of law is concerned. If
admitted, as proposed by Senator Sher-
mans bill, the Democratic party will
be compelled to take the onus of put
ting her out of the Union--a job they
will not be likely to accomplish in a
hurry"

The course of G.. l.. Vaflandigham in
the campaign recently held in Ohio
has brought down upon the head of
this great martyr the wrathful indig-
nation of his party, and he is now des
c!ared by the New York World to be a
RECKLESS demagogue" "base coin,"
that should now be nailed to the coun-
ter. The immediate cause of this in
dignant spirit manifested by the party
is attributed to the policy" of Val
landigham since his defeat for U. 8.
Senator by Judge Thurman. He is
charged with the defeat of Barnabus
Burns i'm the eighth district In this
We see plainly the true spirit of the
party. When Vallandigham was a
traitor to his country, his mouth FUN
fng with the most disloyal utterances
that ever blackened the record of hui
manity, he was the chosen idol of the
Democratic party-lu1ded for his great
ness and extolled for his meanness !;
while to-day for betraying his party,
he is denounced as reckless dema-
gogue and read out of the Democratic
ranks. Party is preferable to the per-
petuity of Country. That is the
policy of the Democracy of to-day
They would destroy this Government
could they by that means attain power
and annihilate their opponents.

General Sherman.

The President has ordered General
Grant to organize new department
with headquarters at Washington and
directs that General Sherman be placed
in command. He has also nominated
the Lieutenant General as General of
the army by brevet. 1t cannot be 9TH
crwise construed than that this last act
of the President is intended as a snub
10 General Grant by giving another
officer the title given him by special
act of Congress. BE it said to the hon.
or and integrity of General Sherman
that he is not a party to this shameful
scheme of the President and that he
promptly protests against assuming
command of the new department., at
the same time questioning his authori-
ty to create the new command or to
nominate him for General by brevet.-
This is snub unlocked for by his Ex-
cellency and it is regarded as within
the bounds of possibility that Sherman
will be compelled to throw up his COM
mission in the army, which it is said
he will do rather than become a tool of
the President. .....

We have before US q bill introduced
by Representative Wilcox, of Buchan-
an County, for an act to establish Nor
NAL Schools i'm Iowa for the purpose OF
training persons to become teachers in
the public schools. 1t provides that
there shall be established i'm connection
with one graded school in each county
a department to be called the Normal
Department" That in counties hav-
ing two or more graded schools-desir.
ing the benefits Of this act, the County
Superintendent shall upon a careful
hearing and consideration of the claims
of each applicant, decide which shall
be entitled to the benefit of this act,
which shall be and remain i'm force for
three years.
The necessity for the establishment
of schools of this character must he
patent to all who have given the sub
ject thought. A thorough systematic
school of instruction to fit teachers for
a competent discharge of their respon-
sible duties, could not fail to enhance
the educational interests of our pros
porous State. 1t is hoped that the bill
will become law. ..... ..s

A statement has obtained circulation
i'm several Iowa papers, to the effect
that Senator Patterson, of Floyd county
had introduced into the Senate bill to
provide for printing all official blanks
For the several counties. i'm Des Moines.
Several days ago Senator Patterson
rose in his place and denied this state
ment, and also took occasion to say
that there had been no basis whatever
for such rumor.-Stdte Register.
We cheerfIl)y give room for the above
hoping that the statement regarding
the Senator Is incorrect. But that it
should be without foundation is remark
ably strange. Where there is SO much
smoke there must be some fire. The
statement was founded upon the regu.
Tar telegraphic dispatch from the car l.
tol, and it Is not reasonable to suppose
that it was without some foundation.
1t is evident that some one introduced
the bill, and it is equally as evident
that who ever it was is now ashamed of
his action and will not own it. If Mr..
Patterson has been wrongly represent
ed in the matter, it is but just that it be
corrected. .s. e-......a..- ..

SOUND ADvICE.--The following adj
vice to young men will apply with
equal force in every community
Every word has pound of good sense
in IT,: ~ En aa as
My friend; did you ever know, can
you call to mind a single case of a per-
son, who having his own way to make
i'm the world, spent his time i'm the
stceets, I'm billiard saloons, around ho-
tells, or in any form of dissipation or
idleness, succeed i'm an eminent degree
i'm any enterprise? Look over your list
of friends aud acquaintance and note
their course. Do you not find upon ex-
animation that those who to-day are
men of influence and honor were the
youth who made the most of valuable
time, turning it to good account? And
on the other hand, do you not find
those who stand at the corners with a
cigar or pipe in their mouth went from
bad to worse, and from worse to ruin !?
Sadly must the answer be made-oh
that 1t were not so-they have failed.
Will you not profit by the experience
Of others? Go not that way. Never
be idle. Every moment of your time
Is golden one; use it as such: i'm
prove the mind; fix your eyes on some
noble object; be men.

q bill for an act to establish Courts of
Common Pleas throughout the State
1t provides that each Judicial District,
as now or hereafter constituted by law
for the election of District Judges,
shall be divided into two Common
Pleas Districts, said judges to hold
office for term of four years.
1t virtually abolishes the office of
County Judge, though not i'm terms
The bill meets with general favor
with the Bar and it will undoubtedly
pass with few Amendments. The sew
eral sections are too lengthy for publi-
cation in full at this time. 1t contains
many important changes from the
present system of Courts throughout
the State and many wise provisions not
