Especial to the Bulletin
The following dispatch was received by us
yesterday just too late for our evening edi-
ton
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Heretofore Con
gress has considered the question of seating
Pinchback and the recognition of the Kellogg
government separately; now the President
declares that he will be guided entirely by the
decision of the Senate, which makes Pinch
back s case of vital importance to the Louisi-
ana question. Morton will bring up the mat
ter this morning, and will press it to con-
clusion even if it keeps the Senate in session
all night.
Pinchback having canvassed the votes.
thinks he has majority of two, throwing
out twelve whom he considers doubtful. Col.
Zacharie and Mr.. Burke are here opposing
Pinchback to good purpose. Messrs. Hoar,
Wheeler and Frye report your affairs almost
as badly mixed as the Brooklyn mess. Hoar
thinks that each party should take care of it's
own turbulent elements. The Sub Committee
on Commerce agree to report favorably for
Eads's jetty system for improving the mouth
Of the Mississippi. Gov. Stannard will move
for a suspension of the rules, making this the
special order for Thursday.

thieves getting upon a high iron safe that
stands in front of the store and then swinging
on to the awning reached the front shed, and
by that way gained free access to the upper
front window.
Going into the second story, they proceed

force open one Of the drawers, but they left
it, as it seems they were in a hurry, and went
down on the first floor, where they succeeded
in forcing open the cash drawer, but, to their
disappointment, there was nothing in it.

thieves went to work and opened the front

with l have the honor
to send, in accordance
with the resolution OF

opinion that all the

in the election of 1872,
Joseph Brooks was
lawfully elected Gov
ernor Of that State !;
that he has been un-
lawfully deprived of
the possession of his
Office since that time;
that in 1874 the Con-
stitution of the State
was by violence, in
timidation, and revo-
lutlonary proceedings
overthrown, and a
new Constitution
adopted, and a new
State Government es-
tablished. These pro-
ceedings if permitted
to stand practically
ignore all the rights
Of minorities in all the

there to prevent each

tutions and violating

spectfully> submit
whether a precedent
SO dangerous to the

eminent, if not of the

also, should be recog-
nized by Congress. l
earnestly ask that
Congress will take

ing to close, to devote an occasion
to an humble expression of our thanks
to Almighty God for ceaseless and
distinguished benefits bestowed upon
us as nation, and for His mercy and
protection during the closing year.
Amid the rich and free enjoyment of
all our advantages, we should not
forget the source from whence they
are derived, and extend our obliga-
tons to the Father of all Mercies.-
We have full reason to renew our
thanks to Almighty God for favors
bestowed upon us during the past
year. ByHis continuing mercy, civil
and religious liberty has been main
tanned; peace has reigned within
our borders; labor and enterprise
have produced their merited rewards,
and to His watchful providence we
are indebted for security from pesti-
lence and other national calamities.
Apart from the other national bless
ings, each individual among us has
occasion to thoughtfully recall and
devoutly recognize the favors and
protection which he has enjoyed.
Now, therefore, l, Ulysses S. Grant,
President of the United States, do
recommend that on Thursday, the
25th of November, the people of the
United States abstain from their ac-
customed vocatlons. do assemble IN
their respective places of worship.
and in such form as may seem most
appropriate in their own hearts, offer
to Almighty God their acknowledge
ments and thanks for all his mercies,
and their humble prayers for the con-
tinuance of His Divine favor.
In witness whereof have hcreunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.

The Speakership of the House is
being discussed by the press of the
State with some vigor. The choice
seems practically to be confined to
four candidates: John H. Gear, OF
Burlington, John Y. Stone, of Mills,
Rush Clark, of johnson, and ], X,
Graves, of Dubuque. The latter two
have signifed that they are not can.
didates, and do not wish the position,
and SO the race appears to be between
Gear and Stone. Both are well quail.
flied, Mr.. Gear having filled the
position to general satisfaction in the
last House, and Mr.. Stone having the
advantage Of large Legislative ex-
perience, and the claims of both are
warmly pressed by enthusiastic
friends. Mr.. Stone is understood to
be the leader Of that portion of the
Legislature who desire to see Belk-
nap elected Senator. We presume
Mr.. Gear would prefer Harlan.

SOME of the leading journals of the
State have been discussing the sub
ject of the salaries paid the judges of
our courts. It is generally conceded
that the compensation fixed by law
for the judiciary is inadequate and
not calculated to attract to the bench
the best legal talent. Not that we
have no able judges in Iowa, but
when first-class attorneys consent to
accept the position, it is at a pecun-
larry sacrifice which they should not
be required to make. Practice at the
bar, even for an attorney of ordinary
ability, has better renumerative re-
turns than the yearly compensation
of the judge on the bench, under the
present law. The best interests of
the community, as well as the truest
economy, would seem to dictate such
rate of pay as would make the in
ducement for the best talent to accept
the judicial station at least equal to
that held out by private practice.
With our judges well, even generous
ly paid, and holding their positions
free from political influence and DUR
ing good behavior, the administra-
ton of law would be characterized
by dignity and efficiency it is very
far from at the present time.
