EDITOR.
kILLED ID.

Mr.. Speaker Halls bill to exempt
private property from seizure and
sale for corporate debts, in which
there was so much Of hope for Iowa
county and other debt-burdened
communities of our State, has been
practically killed i'll the State Sen
ate. The manner Of its killing we
regard more disrcputable than the
fact. Had the opponents OF tins
bill, who can but be regarded as
enemies of the people, have persued
the more manly course Of opposing
it squarely, instead Of the tricky
way Of doing so by multiplying
amendment, our respect for them
would be far greater The defeat
of this bill was accomplished by
the adoption Of the following as an
amendment:
Provided, however, that this act shall not
affect any bonds or other evidences OF lndcbt-
edncss which may have been issued by any
town. county city or village within this state
since the LIST of january, 1870. Nor shall 1t
be construed in any ease where the process OF
the court has failed 10 secure the levy ana col
lection by the proper authorizes ol a TAX up
on the taxable property in town, county,
city or village for the payment ol any JoaS-
mrnt rendered against such town, county, Guy
or village to deprive amy court OF any power
such court now possesses to levy ana correct
An elutably adjusted tax upon the taxable
property in such town. county, city or village
ior the payment Of such judgncnl.
Provided, that this net shall Ia no wise etiect
any judgments hereafter rendered on any
bonds, obligation or Other evidences OF debt
that have been issued since Jan. 4th, 1870 ;
nor shall this act be construed To elect amy
bonds, obligations or other evidences OF debt
hereafter Issued by any town, comfy, city or
village IN this state.
With these amendments, we see
no practical good that can result
from the passage of the bill, and II
the Assembly refuses to concur and
the bill does not pass ut all, We shall
have lost little.
No man could have worked more
faithfully than Senator Little has
done for this bill. He believed it to
be Of vital interest To his constltu-
ents, and acted in accordance with

bly, must agree Before the bill be-
comes law, and it is feared that 1t
will be fllibustered to death or
finally passed in such shape as to
fall far short Of accomplishing the
ends desired. Any one who notes
the manner of legislating, will be
compelled to admit the force of the
no nelly adage that ''there are more

GREELEY FOR VICE PRESIDENT
4 move is on foot to make Horace
Greeley the nominee of the Phila-
delphia Convention for Vice Prcsl-
dent. The Chicago 7r'jat"e strong
ly favors Greeley's nomination,
which we think is the most sensl-
be thing it has done for many a
day. Whether or not Mr.. Greeley
will accept the second place on the
ticket after seeking the first, nobody
seems to know. We very much
doubt it, but shall not be surprised
to find that "Barkis is wlllin."
