ADJoURSED.-rhe Legislature adjourned
sine DIS last Saturday morahy- The session was
one Of tho longest ever held and perhaps as lit
tie was accomplished to promote the interests
OF the people as at any former one. The lax
on bonds mortgages, and oil railroad travel, was
not repealed, and no provision was made for
the education of the colored people, representa-
ton according to population was utterly ignor-
ed. and the petitions OF the loan associations
for relief had no effect.l The next Legislature
will be more favorable to the consideration of
these questions, and to it we shall look for re-
dress.
The members of the past Legislature deserve
some credit for not listening to the advise of
certain bigoted partizans, as well as for the
measures that were enacted among which we
may enumerate the chartering of the Ship Ca
nal, the Frankfort and Georgetown Railroad
Co., the passage of the bills In regard to our
city, sc.
Had the advice of the Republican members
been followed both In the Senate and House,
the record Of good deeds would have been great
ly enlarged, and could have been pointed TO
with pride.

IOWA RADICAL DEFAuLTERs,

The Grant newspapers in Iowa are try
ing hard to withdraw public attention
from the recently discovered defalcation of
Maj. Rankin, their present State Treasur-
er, and from their other defaulters, swim
lers and the small politicians who aid their
larger swindlers John A. Elliotts.
the Brandts, ct I'd onsae genus, by calling
attention to the defalcation of DR.. Eads. a
Democrat, some Is or 20 years ago. We
doubt if the people will be any better
pleased with these Radical knaves and de-
fualters than they were with the old Dem
ocratic one. IF the Radical papers and
the Radical party condemn Eads and the
party to which he belonged, are they not
honorably bound to do the same with the
Rankins, Brandt, Elliotts and the Radical
gang of thieves which now infest Des-
moines? The Harlan, Kasson, Brandt
Rankin, Elliot ring is not likely to be
more acceptable to the people as defaul-
tiers, swindlers ETC., than was Eads,-and
it is no answer to refer to Eads' case.
No one disputes that Eads was defaulter,
no one defends HIM Everybody who
knows anything about that case, knows
that Eads showed weakness for very
pretty and very fascinating woman, and
that his own party friends in Iowa repudi-
ated him and compelled him to leave the
State viii the Radicals pursue the same
course with their thieves and defaulters =?
We shall see Let them not fatter them
selves that they can escape by going back
twenty years to Eads' case. That will do
them no good with an indignant and de
frauded people What are you going to
do with your own thieves and defaulters.
Messrs Radicals of Iowa The people
want an answer to that question.

THE DAGGER FAN.

A new York correspondent "a LADY, of
the St. Louis GlQbc writes: The only nov
city | can think of gre the dagger fans,
which arc the most aLoninable invention
that were ever hopped in the face of man
in d. They are made with hilt and fit
into shaft. When drawn out two elastic
bands expand the fans and the instrurn ent
is complete, The idea is good, but the
result Is detestable, The wretched little
thing opens out with slap that dscom-
poses the strongest nerves and it is of as
much use as a quill pen would be to watt
a cooling breeze. The bouquet fans are
far worse; but they are semi-tashionable
and the half-world have taken to them.
Correct people are old fashioned, and carry
the two feos-iours ] referred to in my last
letter. Thoy are pleasant and easy to u sc
and the only objection is the price, Yes
terlay inspected some, and could get
nothing respectable under $50. l thought
j best to invest in a japanese fan a. ten
cents, but / suppose that the other will
follow, and that the capital | have dis
posed OF in the Jap won't count.
