SENATE.
No business Of Importance was
transacted save the vote for u. s.
Senator, which was as follows:
Senator Lowry moved that the
Senate proceed to announce its
choice for United States Senator, for
the term commencing on the 4th of
March, 1873.
The motion prevailed, and
Mr.. McNutt placed 10 nomination
the name Of Vim. B. Allison, of Dn-
buque county.
Senator Mccormick nominated Jo-
seph 9. Knapp, Of Van Buren, Co.
The vote was taken, and Mr.. Al
lison receiving forty votes and Mr..
Knapp seven.
Mr.. Allison was declared TO be the
choice of the Senate for the position
Of y. s. Senator for the term com
menoing March 4th, 1872.
HOUSE.
The only business Of note was the
action Of the House on the question OF
taking newspapers for the Members.
Hon. 8. 7. Caldwell offered . resolu.
ton to the effect that the House
would not make any appropriation
for newspapers, and supported bis
motion by IN able and lengthy
speech. A debate ensued, in which
various members participated, Irish
(Dem.) from Johnson county, taking
strong grounds against the resolu.
ton. 1t was finally passed by q vote
Of 81 to As. This would seem to be
settler on the paper question,
so far as the House 10 concerned, bu,
as the Senate had ordered twenty
FIVE copies for each member, there
ought to be some action taken to har.
monixe things between the two bod
les.
Tho proceedings In the election
of U. 8. Senator were as follows:
VIM. b. Allison received 20 votes,
j. G. Knapp Is votes.

THA OONTDT CLOSED.

Tho senior editor o fthe CouRIsR
writes Us from Des Moines, to day,
as follows
The result Of the Senatorial cam
paign was to US unexpected. Our
figures, though made on the ground.
werc very wide Of the mark. At
this time we will not undertake to
account for this utter failure Of orr
calculations.
As we have often said, in the
course of THE contest, either of the
three gentlemen named for Senator,
were amply qualified to represent
the State in the u. s. Senate.
We had, however, an earnest aud
decided choice as to which Of the
three should be chosen, and strongly
advocated the election Of Mr.. Har.
Ian but in a manner which hos been
entirely devoid OF slanderous attacks
upon any man. It affords US now
peculiar pleasure that we did 60 but
at the same time we + panied with
the recollection that the vilest and
meet unfounded attacks were made
upon the charactsr Of NJ. Harlem in
the house Of his friends; that this
was commenced by his opponents
hackers, and after . time some OF
Mr.. Harlan's friends replied with
charges brought ont under q spirit Of
retaliation. All this We greatly de-
plore; not only on account OF the
love and respect we bear for Mr.. Har-
lan-than whom we arc convinced
there is no purer or ADLER statesman
in the nation but also because ofthe
deleterious effect it must necessarily
have upon the morale OF the great
party we love and strive to maintain.
This is the only sting left to US in this
contest.

ProRress Of the RevoIutio,

Progress Of the Revolution "A new
light dawned upon the world with the in
PRODUCTION Of PLANTATION BITTERs twelve
years ago. Drastic purgation went out
restoration and renovation came in. The
eyes of the people were oper ed to the great
fact that the way to cure disease Is to
strengthen and support it's victims, not to
place them at its mercy by depriying them
of the little strength they have. 1t soon
became evident that as Q means Of infus-
ing vitality into the feeble system, regula-
ting the secretions, curing indigestion,
and reforming n bilious habit Of body,
no medicinal preparation hen known
was at all comparable to the new restora-
tive. Since then hundreds of attempts
have been made to rival the Bitters. They
have all failed. and the GRAND REyoLu-
TON In MEDICAL TREATMENT, which was
commenced in 1850, il still in progress.
Nothing can stop 1t, for il is founded on
the principle. now universally acknowl
edged. that physical vigor is the most for
midable sntaxonisto Of all human ailments.
and experience has shown that PLANTA-
TON BITrERs is a peerless iuvigorant, as
well as the best possible safeguard against
| epidemic diseases. wlt-deod.
