GEN. HEpRICK


In this wonderful de-
velopment of the western country in pop
ulation, and its material interests, we find
two crowning elements OF its prosperity
to be Railroads and Emigration. 1t is
estimated that over 1900, 900 emigrants 20
to the West annually, and carry with
them $9, 100000 in money. The wealth
that lies buried under countless acres Of
our vast territory, or springs from their
bosom, is comparatively inert and useless,
until the whistle of the locomotive ava
kens it from the repose Of centuries into
activity and value. Of all the roads lead
ing to the West. the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Road with the B. Il M. as its
Iowa extension, ,as an outlet from Chicago
to the Pacific Slope, magnifies it into one
of National consequence, and insures to
1t q vast through traffic, while it passes
along its own line the elements of large
local business. Seating myself in one Of
the spacious and luxuriously furnished
drawing room coaches attached
to the Atlantic Express Train at four
o'clock, A. M, at Ottumwa, we eagerly
scan the faces of Western passengers, ex-
pecting to find John Chinaman, from
that vast country in the east of Asia, said
to contain population ten times as large
as that of America, and was 1000 years
old at the birth of Christ. The man at our
elbow is but six days from the "shiuing
Shores" oe California, and we gladly hear
again the wonderful stories concerning
that sunny land. We tell him of a man
in ottumwa who made the trip overland
in 1851, and was six months on the road.
"Sir," says he, :" this is an age Of steam.
dined on green peas and new potatoes
seven days ago, and saw the grass nine
inches high, and the laughing water went
merrily to the sea- "But,' SAYS he, f"

EDS. COURIER:
Please content yourselves with very
brief note from your correspondent, as
my time has been occupied with railroad
matters during the time should have
written you.
The Senate today passed a resolution
to hold two sessions a day hereafter, and
as all speakers are limited tolls minutes,
1t may be expected that work win be done.
The commission OF legal inquiry for
this State reported a bill which passed the
Senate MAXI ny a very material change in
criminal practice. The accused is allowed
to testify, and the Statute requiring the
names of witnesses upon the Indictment,
and giving three days notice of the intro
ducing of other witnesses, was repealed.
These were the most important changes,
though some other were made of quite
radical nature.
The Senate finally put a quietus upon
the railroad tariff bill by voting to
lay upon the table the motion to reconsi-
der the vote by which the tariff bill was
defeated on its engrossment.
The railroad tax bill is made the specia
order in the Senate for Thursday of this
week.
A bill has passed the Senate making
department at the Blind Asylum at Vim
ton called the Industrial Home" in
which it is intended to provide place for
the blind of the State who cannot sup
port themselves, that they may do such
work as they are able to do. and be sup
ported by the State. 1t is thought that
by providing the necessary tools and shop
room, with careful management, the
Home may be made self-supporting.
The House this afternoon has been de-
batting the joint resolution to submit to
vote of the people, the proposition to am
end the Constitution so as to permit fe-
males to vote. The discussion, am in
formed, was very spirited and listened to
by quite coterie of the fair sex of the
city. The resolution passed, having So
votes in its favor, one more than a consti
tutional majority. l have no doubt but
that the people will be called upon to vote
upon this question. This is an age Of re-
mark able progress, and old fogies stand
no show whatever.
The Davenport Bros give one Of their
wonderful exhibitions in spiritual mani
festations here tonight. A friend has
kindly provided me with ticket, and as
