Considerable dissatisfaction is fc!,
and expressed in many quarters At tue
injustice done, by Speaker Cotton, in
IN king MP the committees. Mr. Rus
ssil is an example in point. He has
been member Of the House, in con
;inuous service since 1S6a, and was
oAce chairman Of tie committee OF
Ways and Means, and was the popular
and efficient speaker OF the last House.
he House contains 10 member OF
greater experience and familiarity with
! glslative matter than Mr. Russell.
lie is almost entirely ignored on The
committees. The tact that be was so
strong competitor OF Speaker Cot
ton for the Speakers Chair, makes the
shabby treatment OF Mr.. Russell still
more mean and shabby.

} appropriation who is himself asking
one-the only Independent members
of either House are those who have
nothing loose. In this connection
might speak of a divine, who, when at
prayers IN the Senate, one morning,
told the Almighty that there were
those present who had axes to grind,
and farther, that they had the tools to
! do it with.
The Supervisor system has been
changed, as far as the Senate is con-
ccrned, to what is virtually tho com
missioner system; three members OF
the Board are elected at large, III each
county, only retaining the old name,
The House has yet TO act on both the
above named bills, but they are sure
to pass, perhaps with some moditica-
tions. l should have said that the
Ststt-eeA4ouse is to cost one and halt
millions. The committees will report
against Withdrawing the school fund
from the counties; but | predict the
funds will be here before the new State
House is completed. Those counties,
that gave bonds to secure railroads
about which the State and Federal
courts have been clashing, are now
trying to have the penalty removed
from delinquent taxes, so as to beat the
bondholders on the executions issued
by the Federal courts; they also wish
to tax railroads the same as other
property to raise the means wherewith
to pay off the said bonds. The rail
road committees are busy discuss;r @
bills relative to taxing and antidiscrimi.
nation. The readingroom of theSavery,
where the committees meet, looks like
old times, but the people have more
friends on the committee, SO far; the
lobby is coming and to come; the qucs-
ton is new to most of the legislators
and requires great research. 1t is, in
fact, profession, the details of which
it is difficult to master, but the com
mittee of the House has gone about il |
in earnest, and meanto report bill that
will give protection to the people, and
justice to the railways The Hes Moines
people ale very sociable toward the
legislators this session; receptions are
the order OF the winter. Some, doubt
less, feel at home; but the majority OF |
the Solons remind me more of men
watching for new planet, than
guests, who, for the time, are giving
themselves over to the pleasures of the
hour Ways and Means committee
have reported tavorably upon a bill so
the law relative to publish
ing the laws as to leave It with the SUI
pervisors to determine what shall be
printed in the county papers. The
State Geologist lcctured in the Hall q!
the House last evening; his geological
researches are now before the Assem-
bly, in manuscript and will doubtless
be printed in book form. Being the
second survey OF the State, it embra.

observations for a period OF 80 years;

and peat marshes, the altitude at dit
terent points on all of the Iowa rail
