Good Advice.

There is no better adviser in bust.

try, than HoraccG Greeley. Hear him,
and heed him, in the following para
graph, taken from ths hast Trahsne
ii the mean time, how are bust.
ness men to keep aAoat3 .Prndence
and economy, Of course, are 1he two
great lessons to be learned; bpt there
Z one part Of these lessons which
10 dull times is especially apt to. be
forgotten. Be sure Of one thing;
whatever you have to sell, there are
many people ready to buy even in
the most depressed seasons. Find
them out; show them your wares;
persuade them to buy Of you rather
than another When buyers are re-
luctant, sellers must be active. 1t is
neither cheap nor sensible to sit still
behind your counter and wait for the
hustle of trade to revive. When
business is dull that is the very time
to advertise. In the first place, that
IS when you most need to advertise;
and in the second, that is when PEG.
gle devote most time to reading the
newspapers, and when your adver.
tisement consequently is most gener.
ally seen. A few dollars invested in
the columns of the Tribune will dc
more to revive sluggish business
than anything else in the world.

Iowa.

Iowa is clear ofdebt 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, ana sent their,
quota Of men to the field; and there
were no better men in the armies Of
the Union. The gallantry Of lowa's
soldiers was conspicuous in every bat
tic, as their endurance and vigor were
in every march This happy condi-
ton of freedom from debt IS due to
the wise and economical administra-
ton which the people of Iowa have
insisted on, and which their State off,
GERS have been able to give them. 1t
is, indeed, an enviable situation, which
other States groaning under debt and
taxation, may look at with an admir-
ing eye.
There is another singular virtue
about the State Of Iowa which should
be mentioned with equal honor-in-
deed, it may serve to explain the won
dcrfhl growth and prosperity of that
desirable fraction of the Union. Since
the daysof George Washington Jones
and Augustus Cesar Dodge the State
has been steadily and rapidly increas-
ing her Republican strength. The
majority Of Fremont over Buchanan

HOUSE.

Mr. Morrill, spoke on the question
of finance. He thought it would be
well to postpone the discussion Of the
question as to money, il which the
principal of the national debt should
be held, and gives energy to wise
and earnest effort to make the cur
l'ency equal in value to gold, before q
specie payment could be resumed.
Mr.. Wilson of Ohio spoke on the
question Of the national debt. He
declared himself in favor of paying
the principal ofthe bonds in lawful
money, except where they were spe-
cited to be paid in gold. He pro-
posed to issue q hundred million dol
lars in u 8 notes; to sell at the mar
ket pfices oil the surplus gold in the
treasury, and add this fund from time
to time to any Surplus that could be
spared from the treasury until it wo'd
amount to a hundred million dollars.
Tho two hundred millions of dollars
TINS provided should be applied to
the redemption Of. nm equal amount
of BIOS now at he option Of the
Government, the gold interest on
which would amount annually TO six
millions in gold. He showed that
such 4 sinking fund would amount at

Suffrage in the House.

eLinkensale' in letter to the
Davenport Gazette gives the follow
ing account Of the Introduction of an
equal suffrage resolution in the
Hou % by John Y. Stone Of Mills, the
youngest member of that body, and
late gallant officer Of the 18th Iowa:
A very interesting little debate
took place in the House this morn.
ing, on the subject of. suffrage. Mr..
Stone, ofMil!s, having introduced
resolution that the right should be
exercised by all citizens of the State,
irrespective of race, or color. Mr.,
Stone spoke a few moments. I be-,
lieve l have stated that he is the
youngest member Of the House. He
spoke fiuently, sensibly, and clearly,
for q short time, making good i'm
preston upon the House and gal
lery. He was followed by Mr.. Viii
liams of Winneshiek, who got off some
good remarks and.a good ioko or
two. Mr.. Kilbourne, Of Adair. also.
made neat little speech. Mr.. Kas-
son, Of Polk, followed in few re-
marks in his usually happy style.-
Whatever we may think Of him
generally or particularly, 1t must be
conceded that as a public speaker Mr.
Kasson is hard to beat. The resolu-
ton was referred to the proper COM
mittee.
The Hon. J. NJ. Beck, who took
his seat on the Supreme Bench, the
other day, gives evidence that that
dignified place will be adorned by
him. perdict that he will rise to
eminence as jurist.

tei and secure the everlasting graft

and the lovers of the fnny tribe gem
orally, by introducing bill and press
ing it TO its passage, compelling the
owners of mill dams on the Des
Moines and other streams, to put in
at once sluice ways, that viii enable
the fish in the migratory season, as it
is their wont, to ascend onr streams?
In many of the States east the law
compels all persons to put them in, in
making dams, and such should be the
law here. They can be very easily
constructed when the dams are being
put in, or can without serious difficult
ty be attached to those dams already
IN They consist simply ola zig-zag
arrangement running like pair Of
s.air steps, or series OF troughs from
the bottom to the top OF the dam. at
an angle Of say 45 degrees, with the
sheet Of water, whereby the fish. IN
their annual migration to the head
waters of eur streams, can ascend
these steps or troughs. one at time,
and then get over the dams to the
head waters of the streams, to their
