Of no avail, however, aud the little babe
continued TO announce most persistently,
that " It's goue." The father, wishing to
acqualnt himself more thoroughly with
the strange case, determined to dress him
self but after looking In every nook and
corner OF his bedchamber, failed to find his
pants and vest. 1t was afterwards ascer-

Correspondence of the Gazette.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, Jan. %, '6S.
DEAR GAzETTE:-I have not re-
deemed as yet my promise TO write you,
for supposed you were being posted
up by other correspondents.
Nothing of importance has trans
pired here, as yet, except an appropri-
alton of stamps and pocket Knives.
The Senate and House are made up of
an unusual number Of new members.
who seem to have a faculty of learning
very easy; they take stamps, mileage,
&c, with as much aiacrity as the oldest
members. Really tile custom of voting
postage, &C., is. wrong; it would be
much better if the members were al
lowed fair compensation of $500 or
$500 day, and all these perquisites
cut off.
Lieut.. Gov. Scott and Speaker Rus
sell are both very superior presiding
officers. =. .#a b. s.a.na@
The question and proprlety Of SOME
additional courts is being urged very
strongly, and / have not much doubt
some additional Legislation will be had
In that regard.
The feeling towards Governor Stone
has oeen very much modified since the
last session of the Legislature, and he
has very many warm friends in the
Legislature, and the impression pretty
| or ht,,ly hat ha so
entirely vindicated from any inten-
tional misappropriation of the public
funds. Governor Merrill, by his can
dor and earnest application to business,
insures the confidence of the people of
the State. .@i
The-usual number of bills, petitions,
resolutions and memorials have been
presented, and will go, two-thirds of
them, to oblivion, carrying with them
the disappointed hopes and desires of
many Jealous and expectant members
and constituents. About three hun
dred bills have already been presented
i'm both houses; probably more than
the Legislature could act on if not an
other bill WIS presented.
The democracy have filibustered here
i'm the House; lrave tried it once or
twice i'm the Senate, but as no particu-
Tar attention was paid to them, they
soon subsided.
The democrats in the Seuate are all
first rate, genial nfen, as are also large
number Of those i'm the House. f-
The financial condition of the State
is first. rate. An effort will probably he
made to make an appropriation to COM
mence new State Capitol.
Considerable is being said about
State Reform School, and would not
be disappointed if bill creating Que
was passed.
If the Indian Meal Man comes that
way, give him q cold shoulder, he is Il
big hambug.
The weather is extremely cold and
has been for several days. Will write
you again. p.

Senator Trumbull of Ills. in reply to
Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin made a
most complete indication of the recon
struction policy of Congress and logi-
cally defines the position of the rebel
States.
We make the following extract {:
az Speak of them rs q State coming
into the Union, because they have now
no State organizations. / have no
trouble in regard to the condition of
the rebel States. L call them States :;
and they are i'm this sense, that they
have the territory of States and the
people TO constitute States. The peo-
pie of South Carolina and every other
rebel State have been subject to the
Jaws of the United States during the
whole rebellion, and are now, in my
judgement as completely as they were
before the war. --"
at is true, we could not at one time
execute the laws of the United States
in South Carolina because the author
ty of the Federal Government was ex-
PEELED from the State; but in legal
point of view, as legal proposition,
the authority of the United State ex-
tends completely over the citizens of
South Carolina during the war and
since the war as it did before the war.
They could not take themselves out of
the Union and they could not take
the States out of the Union /; but what
could they do and what did they do
They could destroy that State organiza-
ton, and did destroy it. The political
organization of the State was, by their
own act, destroyed in 1861, and then
the people had no ability to perform
any act under the Constitution of the
United States which it required po-
litical State organization to perform
Hence they could not elect Senator TO
the Congress of the United States
Why? Because they had no political
State organization, no Legislature; and
the Constitution says that Senators
shall be elected by the Legislatures of
their respective States. Hence their
representation ceased.

A bill has been introduced and pass
ed in the House, authorizing the tax
ing of national banks by States.
The bill reported by Senator Patter-
son, from the Committee ON Retrench.
ment, provides that after thirty days
from its passage, no special agents be
appointed by the President, or depart
ments without confirmation by the
Senate.
A bill has been introduced in the
House for the continuance of the freed
mans bureau. 1t provides that it shall
not close till July 1868, except that the
Secretary of War may discontinue it
in any State as soon as reconstruction
is fully accomplished, and provision
has been made for the education of
children of both races. s".

The whiskey tax bill has been under

port.
In the House on the 4th, the speaker
presented communication from the
Secretary of War, transmitting cor
respondence between the President and
Gen. Gran: in reference to the Secreta-
ry of War. .s
Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, moved refer
ence to the Judiciary COMMITTEES, and
accepted an amendment made by Mr..
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, that the ref.
erence be made to the Reconstruction
Committee. At the conclusion of the
reading of the correspondence, which
was listened to with unusual attention,
Mr.. Wilson moved the previous ques-
ton. Mr.. Covode asked whether it
was In order i'm view of the straightfor
ward, manly course of Gen. Grant in
the whole transaction to move vote
of thanks to him? The Speaker said
not in order. The previous question
was then seconded and the motion to
refer to the Ret obstruction Committee
was agreed to.

johnson and Grant.

A Special correspondence growing
out of the Stanton affair, has been go
ing on for the past two weeks, between
the President and General Grant,
which bids fair to develop something
at an early day. A Washing
ton special says: 1.-THE President had
gone so far I'M his determination not to
recognize Mr.. Stanton, that he had ac-
tually issued all order to General Grant,
him 20 obey any orders re-
ceived from the Secretary of War.
This turns out to be true, and it is also
true that General Grant declined to
obey it; whereupon spicy correspond
ence ensued which lasted for couple
of weeks, and covers not only the mat.
ter named, but also the charges made
by the President against General Grant,
of duplicity i'll his action on the War
Office question.

A JUST Observation-Disclosures Tilton
Of the New York Independent thus de-
scribes the scene in the House when
Speaker Colfax reprimanded the rebel
Wood: He says The reprimand to
Fernando Wood was both serious and
comical. During solemn proceeding,
Mr.. Wood looked, and Mr. Coifax act
ed, like a clergyman. A deaf man, not
nearing the Speakers charge, but only
observing the scene, would have sup
posed that the grave gentleman of the
white mustache, standing at the bar of
the House, was q candidate for a bish-
opric; and that the high perched dig
nitary who held the book i'm his hand
was performing liberalization. During
the whole exercise, Mr.. Wood seemed
like one of those old fashioned deacons
who rise and stand during prayer.
And when Mr.. Colfax said, "You
may now take your seat" he uttered
the words as ii they were an Amen.
And certainly all the spectators said
amen to the rebuke. Perhaps, also,
they will say amen to another rebuke
which followed given to the same cul-
prit, by Mr.. Cakes Alnes of Massachu-
sets. Mr.. Woods otiense had con-
sisted in calling the Reconstruction
bill 1.-THE most Infamous of the infa-
nous acts of an infamous Congress"
Mr.. Ames went privately to- Wood,
and said. "Sir, Congress would be less
Infamous IL you Were out of it,"
We quote this purely personal
remark solely for the sake of prevent
ing Mr.. Wood being again mistaken
for clergyman.
