The following, 6Ays the Pittsburg

in favor Of the acquisition OF st. no.
,ningo the mountains which in
tersect the island are never touched
with snow. Coffee grows on their
sum, ,nits, 1000 feet above the sea,
and sugar at the height of 5000 feet ;
tobacco, indigo, lignum.vit9, and
dye wOOds thrive, and 80 soon as the
luxuriant forests Of mahogany aHd
tropical trees should be cut down
themselves meanwhile affOrding q
rich return to the lumbermen) the
island would be covered with planta-
tiOns from which we could draw our
entire supplies of sugar, coffee, and
tobacco. We now import these arti-
cles at cost of one hundred million
dollars annually. One hundred mil

one hundred million dollars annual
ly added to our favor in the balance
of trade. There would be one hun
dred million dollars more annually
to aid in paying off the national debt,
besides the saving Of import duties ;
while with an enterprising and in.
dustrious population settled In San
Domingo commerce would at once
spring up. Not only would the car.
rying trade in the articles produced
by the island be immense, but this
population would require imple-
ments of agriculture, manufactured
cloths, -four, ahG grainin great guam

duets Of the temperate zone. 1t is
added that II we don't get the island

The Capitol Bill

Passed both Houses of the Assem-

ments made before final passage was
one adding. Gen. g. NJ. Dodge and
Hon. J. F. Wilson as Commissioners
from the State at Large; and anoth-
er providing that none Of the money
appropriated for the commencement
of the State House shall bc paid out
"until the Census Board shall certify
to the Treasurer Of State that the re-
sources Of the Treasury, without In
creasing the rate Of taxation, are suf-
ficient to meet the proposed disburse-
ment, after other appropriations are
allowed" This Il certaialy stringent

Is among the good works perform
ed by the Assembly last week. The
new law will appear in this paper
"by authority" in due season. At
the next Fall election we will have
to elect three Supervisors from the
County at large, no two from the
same Township. For ourselves, we
have faith in this new system. Let
us fill the new Offices with the best
men, and give the new plan q fair
trial.

ard as Commissioner Of the Freed
mems Bureau. On motion of Mr..
Dawes, Republican, of Massachusetts,,
a full investigation was ordered.
Now, who arethe parties involved?
Gen. Howard made brilliant mill
tary record, and through the whole
war, as ever since, sustained unblem-
ished the noble character of Chris
tian. In fact, he was recognized
everywhere as pre-eminently the
Christian Soldier.
Fernando Wood, who thus attacks
him, is notorious among men of evil
fame. From the lowest slums of
New York City, barely escaping
States Prison by q technicality OF
the law, he has bought his way up to
the seat he now holds, and unwaver-
ingly sustained his character OF rep
resentative of all that is low and
riotous and disgraceful among his
constituents. That he should be in
Congress is disgrace to the nation;
that he should attack Gen. Howard
is but an instance of the everlasting
conflict between darkness and light.
We have only to hope that, when
the investigation shall have triumph.
antly vindicated Gen. Howard, the
strong censure of the House may be
duly expressed for Wood.

In the Senate on the 5th inst,
among the bills passed was one "for
the protection Of birds. s.'-Whole
strings of bills were passed, which
are reported only by their numbers
and titles, from which 1t is impossi-
Bile to Judge of their nature. But we
see that the bill to allow Counties to
prohibit the sale of wine and beer
passed the Senate by vote of % to IL.
The House, on the same day, by
vote of "a to %, indefinitely post

Merrill, asking an appropriation to

next June; and the Senate with but
one dissenting vote passed a bill to

ator Campbell, Of Jasper County,
who said: "As a soldier, believing
that this appropriation is not asked

they will not receive the benefit Of

Loughridge, our present Member,
now in his second term. For our
selves, SO well have we deemed our
.2eei1
hftkefe6 fslid little upon the subject.
We have none but the most friendly
feelings toward Judge Loughridge,
and have been by no means back
ward in expressing them; but for the
next Congressional nomination we
most heartily and unequivocally
advocate the choice of Gov. Stone.
With his pre-emlnent abilities and
fitness for that or any other position
within the gift of the people of our
State, no intelligent citizen of Iowa
is unacquainted. His record is part
of the history OF The State; and
Marion County will be proud to give
him her unanimous vote. 1t is not
necessary to recite reasons, especially
in the County which has been his
home for the last fourteen years; but
as brief and courteous presentation
of preferences by people in other
Counties we clip the following as an
instance, from the Sig0urney Ne,cs
of the 9Th inst:
In the Fourth District, the names
of two well-knOwn gentlemen are
prominently before the people; these
are, Hon. w. Loughridge, present
Member, and ex-GOv. w. M. Stone,
Of Knoxville. Between these, the
people will probably be called on to
choose. That Judge LOughridge has
many friends who favor his re-elec-
ton, is not to be denied; but Gov.
Stone will make gallant fight, and
will present claims not to be over
looked. His long and intimate
familiarity with the affairs of the
State, and the wants of the people of
the District; his eloquence, SO often
.applauded by the peoples shis4Mtell-.
known Integrity; his long service in
the field, during the rebellion; the
foul stain attempted to be cast upon
his good name, on account OF his too
cOnfiding and generous nature; the
twO-term principle, on which Judge
LOughridge was nominated against
Mr.. Grinnell; are considerations not
to be overlooked, or lightly cast aside
by a generous constituency. We be-
speak for him the consideration
which an intelligent, high-minded
people, intent on promoting their
own best interests, are ever ready to
bestOW,
