Among the interesting fcartures of
the ceremonies attendant upon the
laying of the corner stone of the new
Capitol on Thursday were the intro
ductory address Of Hon. J. +. VIII.
son, one OF the Commissioners, and
the Grafton of Gov. Merrill. We
copy all we have room for:
IeHsw C1iseas:-On the 18th day
of April. 1870, the people Of the
State Of Iowa, through their Repre-
sentatives, decided that new Capi.
tolshould beerectcd OF dimensions and
character, better suited to the growth
and necessities of the commonwealth.
For the purpose of executing the
work, Commissioners were appoint
ed, who, in due6,ime, proceeded to
discharge the duties of the trust i'm
posed upon them. The first mport-
ant duty was the adoption Of q plan
tor the building, combining in all its
details, the requisite convcmenccs, as
we'll as taste, OF architectural, adopt
ing 1t to the requirements of the age
and wants of the State. BY prior
law OF the State, the beautiful and
commanding cminence overlooking
the fair young city of Dcs Moines,
and the valley OF the river from
which it takes its name, had been
designated as the site Of the elifice
to be devoted to the Legislature and
official use OF Iowa. There about
one year ago the work Of excavation
commenced, and on the 18th day OF
August, 1871, the first stonc in the
foundation put in its place on bed
OF concrete masonry, two feet IN
thickness. To-day the greater part
of tho foundation walls are laid to
the height Of ten feet above the con-
crete. We are now convened to con-
secrate this noble enterprise Of our
State with ceremonies befitting its
magnitude and importance. Sixteen
years ago the building in which we
now are assembled. was erected 10

THE census, it is said, embraces seven.
teen million women. Who would be cen.
US !--Prouidence Paper.
Just think Of it-sevenieen millions,
Respondent with multiplied charms
A host Of adorable women,
Rushing right into your arms
Coming one after another,
Faster than fakes of snow,
Myriads hurrying up to be kissed
And waiting for others to 60.
Just think Of it-seveuteen mi Iona
From every land under the skies
Multitudinods types Of figures and face,
A world Of wonderful eyes:
Loves widest vision Of possible bliss
Turned sweetly, suddenly true,
Who wouldn't, il he could, be a census?
Think--seventeen millions! Who!
But stopl These seventeen millions,
Prom every land under the skies,
Can't all be adorable women
Cant all lave wonderful eyes.
There are faces unpleasant to look at,
Compilations decidedly bad,
Heaps on heaps who never had beauty,
Or have lost the little they had.
There aro women who scowl and who
squint,
And.look opposit, ways at tine
And blinking blear-eyed monsters,
Whose kiss would be kin to q crime.
There are horrible objects. with wens,
And features twisted awry,l
Termagants armed with broomstlek.::
Shrews who smack of the sty.
There are women with turnd-up noses,
And noses bent down fat,
And features drawn and teeth all gone,
And checks like knocked-in hat,
There are anatomical woman,
With most Of their bones outside.
And women like magnifed-tumors,
Whom you could not embrace if you
tried.
There are women all padded and painted,
More humbug than woman. I'm told
Manufactured of cotton and offered for sale
At current prices of gold
There are women with hair that comes off,
And teeth that they have to put in,
Who drop slowly apart like bundle
As you pull out each separate pin.
There are women will. brains like baoy's
But tongues enough each for ten;
Women who live by abusing co ch other, l
And women who feed upon men;
ANA IONS, eannibals, Jszebels, hags,
Flatterers, simpletons. shrews.
Say sixteen millions Of such, and about
One million fellow might choose.
You must take them. though, just as they
come,
As fast as they please to rush in;
On the whole 'twoull seem-viewing it
calmly
As best, perhaps, not to begin.
It pity to give up the good ones,
But think Of those others, my friend
And as soon as you stand at the head Of
the line,
You are in for it, down to the end.
It strikes me you'd better not do it,
In view OF the risks that you run;
The feeling OF constant anxiety
Must take of the edge Of the fun,
The fact is, the more one reflects,
The more ones constrained to reply,
If the question comes, "who'd be CEN

Il thahk yoa most kindly, not H.
For myself, if they ask me the question.

And reply, "By your leave, Mr.. Census,
There are seventeen millions for you.
wish you all joy Of your bargain,
And quiet nights rest when you've
done,
I'll be thankful my name is not Census,
And rest peacefully happy with one

a regular meeting Of the Literary Socie-
ty was held last night, at which the talent
of our town was we'll represented, and an
interesting debate occurred. The question
for consideration at the next meeting is,

The ErcTsiOn to Vest PoiH-Reduc-
ton Of Fare.-Captain Bragg, the efficient
Superintendent of the Richmond and York
River railroad line, announces reduction
of fare on that road. On and after to-mor-
row the price of round trip tickets to West
Point will be 81 so by the mail train, and
81 by the Sunday freight train. AT pre-
sent, excursion tickets by the mail train
will be only ''good to go down Saturdays
and return Monday" which will suit the
large majority of pleasure seekers. After
a while, doubtless, the same inducements
will be offered to citizens who may wish to
visit West Point any other day of the week
than Sunday and return next day.
AS the case now stands the people OF
Richmond have presented to them an OPP
portunity for obtaining recreation, which
many will avail themselves of. They can
leave here on the mail train any Saturday
at p. NJ, and arrive at West Point at
4:4S p. NJ, in ample time to bathe and fish
or sail on the York before supper. After
supper they can JOIN in the ''hop' at the
hotel. On Monday, at A. NJ, they start
for Richmond, arriving here at 1855 A. NJ.
Or they can go down Sunday ON the pas
senger car attached to the freight train
which leaves at G A. NJ, Qhe sun now rises
at 4:43) and reach West Point about nj,
o'clock. Returning in the afternoon, they
will alrivein Richmond at 7:30. This train
does not move rapidly, but there is less
danger of accidents, and more time to view
the historic points along the route.

IA, Bad Tdste.-We have reported to us
circumstance which occurred yesterday
at funeral, exhibiting either the bad taste
of the party, or decided amount of igno-
rance or meamess.
A funeral took place from st. Mary's
church, on Eighth street, of one of our re-
spectacle citizens. A. number of carriages
were engaged to accommodate the friends OF
the deceased. A relation, mounting dirt
cart, filed in next to the hearse, and re-
fused to take seat in a carriage or take q
more proper place, in the rear. Although
frequently requested to change his position
he, in a fierce manner and with oaths, re-
fused, thereby exhibiting a want of respect
for the corpse ofhis dead friend, which made
a very unfavorable impression upon all who
were present.

Eacta,sion Tram for Vest Point on the
All Of July.-We felt confident that Mr..
Bragg, Superintendent of the York River
road, would be equal, with the most promi-
nent, in aiding our citizens to enjoy, if they
preferred, the 4th of July outside of the
heat and hustle of the city. He will run
an excursion train from here to West Point
on the morning of the 4th, and has reduced
the fare to 81 for the round trip. Mr.. Mas
sey will furnish a good dinner for fifty
cents so, if nothing is spent for other re.
freshments, $3.50 will pay all expenses to
West Point and back on that day. VIZ
believe large number Of persons will GO
down on that day, and would advise friend
Massey to have a long and well-iled table
and an ample supply Of he knows what
will please.

Case of Er-Mayor Chahoon.-This case
which has occupied the attention not only
of the Hastings Court, but of the whole
people of this city, for the past week, came
TO close last night, when the jury ren.
dered a verdict of guilty, and ascertained
his term of imprisonment to be two years
| in the pententiary. BY request of his
counsel, further action in the case was post
poned until II o'clock this morning, when
Chahoon was brought into court, and after
being asked by the clerk if he had any
thing to say why sentence should not now
be passed upon him, replied, ''Nothing,
except to assert my entire innocence"
The Judge proceeded to pass sentence.
Judge Crump, counsel for Mr.. Chahoon,
then moved that the sentence be suspended
for thirty days in order TO allow him to
enter a bill of exceptions. This motion
was granted, and Chahoon remanded to
jail.
We take this opportunity to say that
throughout this trial Mr.. Chahoon has ap-
peared the same, and when he was told
to stand up, while sentence was being
passed, he exhibited the same calm de-
meanor which has characterized his con-
duct through the entire proceedings. His
wife has exhibited rare devotion to the man
to whom she is linked for life, and has
assisted, by her presence, her husband to
bear up amid the excitement of long and
tedious trial.
For the present, we feel no disposition to
comment upon the justice or wrong of this
case. 1t is one which our sense of right
demands we should view in no partisan
light nor should we give way to prejudice
or personal feelings. Our duty to society,
our obligations to law and public welfare,
all combine to still us in moment like the
present. We cannot be silent though as to
the duty of the Commonwealth and her
sworn officers. If wrong has been per-
petrated by George Chahoon, no sane man
can believe that he alone has been guilty of
crime. Shall he alone suffer, or will the
majesty of the law be vindicated by the im-
mediate arrest and trial of the equally
guilty We cannot believe that this mat
ter will be permitted to stop here, but that
a proper sense of honor and of justice will
at once determine those in authority to
search to the bottom of this affair, and do
their whole duty, regardless of whom may
suffer.

THE MARsEILLAISEI THE SOUTH
A Southern journal SAYS: w .

The EMARSEILLAlSEIN IN THEoOUTH.--
A Southern journal says: E
'sIf Northern people would have right
conception of Southern character and con-
servatism, we can tell a story containing
more of truthful illustration than all the
fact and fnces to which Ku-Kluxism and
the knavery of carpet-baggers have given
origin. No one was ever in a Southern
theatre who has not observed the delight
with which the multitude ever listens to
the Marseillaise. 1t was never sung and
came up from the stage or the chorus-echo-
ing pit, that pit, dress-circle and galleries
were not wild with delight, the theatre rent
with acclamations. Within the past few
days, since French and Republicans, in and
out of Paris, those within, by burning
palaces of art, and those without, by the
slaughter of women, have made the name
of France hideous--since these things have
happened, when the sMarseillaise' was sung
in the Mobile theatre, there was no voice to
take up the swelling chorus, and no sign ol
applause in pit or gallery. The 'Marseil.
laise' will become a vague memory, divested
of all its charms, and heard no more in
Southern theatres.o
