gress, were offered in the Leg,sla.
ture in one day, suggests that
our Solons at Des Moines might
find more profitable employment
than "running Congress" 1t strikes
us that this kind of National legis-
ton at arms length and by proxy,
may be overdone, and has not, in
most cases, the appearance Of wis
dom or promise of results. Regard
ing many Of the subjects upon which
it instructs our Senators and re-
quests our Representatives to act in
; specified manner, the Legislature
is no better qualified to Judge Of the
temper of the people, nor has =
clearer insight of their merits than
hsve the men they thus instruct; in
which case dictation is not only
without wisdom but has a SAVIOR Of
impertiuence, considering that Con-
gress and the Legislature alike de-
rive their authority from the people.
Unless in extraordinary cases the
Legislature should be sparing Of its
instructions to members Of Congress
as to their duty, especially As the
latter, if they make mistakes, are
not permitted to plead such instruc.
ton in mitigation of public Gems
ure. The Legislature has enough
to do within its own province to
consume al the time allowed it, and
to give employment to oil the wis
dom of which it is possessed. We
do not assume, Of course, that there
are no occasions where an express
sion by the Legislature upon Ma
tional topics would be pertinent; we
only mean to say that it should not
apply to so wide range Of topics
embracing nearly every measure Of
importance before Congress-as our
Legislators in Des Moines seem anx-
ious to supervise. ae

Our Iowa Secretary of War is
winning golden opinions for his ju-
dicious and economical administra-
ton of his Office. The Washington
Chronicle, q short time since speak
ing of a contemplated project Of the
Department to rifle q large number
of smooth bore cannon now in ser.
vice, instead Of buying new guns, to
replace them, thus saving some mil
lions expense to tho treasury, says
that political opponents and friends
alike agree in commentator Of the
spirit of economy which pervades
the War Department, and adds the
following:
Whatever may be said of useless
expenditures in other directions, the
distinguished ar Secretary has
maintained an infexible purpose
from his first entry on duty in this
capacity, to save the government
every dollar which could be saved,
without sacrificing the public. inter-

was an entire overhauling Of the

service everywhere throughout the
country. In addition to such watch
fulness and careful oversight he has
caused to be gathered up and sold
all the useless war material scatter

mories, forts and military posts, en-

would have gone to waste.

The railroad matter is progress
ing. The Senate committee have

some of the best provisions Of Mr..
Tufts bill in the House, which is
tho most approved one, it will be
likely to prevail in substance. The
committee from the State Grange
appeared before the House commit
tee yesterday, and presented their
views very much to the satisfaction
of the House committee. The inter-
view was very cordial. They sug-
gest the incorporation ofprovisions
in the railroad law:
/. TO compel railroad companies
to transport the cars of other com.
panies, corporations or individuals
for reasonable compensation.
2. All tariffs to be general in form
and not to discriminate in favor OF

They also suggest the appoint

three, whose salary and expenses
shall be paid, one-half by the
