THE bill providing for the abolition OF
the Circuit Courts and the substitution
of County Courts instead, which has ia
ken up considerable time in the Legisla-
ture, received it's q%uietus on Wednesday
in the House, where it was defeated,
amendments and all, by a vote of A
yeas to 4S nays. The wonder is that it
should have come so near to success
To two-thirds of the counties OF the
State the County Courts would have
been an eye-sore of expense and inefi-
cheney, without any corresponding ben
eff.

Roll Of Honor.

There has been placed in the Des
Moines City Library, a Roll of Honor,
giving the name of every soldier who
died in defense of the Union, giving
name, rank, date of death and place of
burial. Though compiled in the War
department it is very difficult to obtain a
copy. Congressman Cummings secured
one for Des Moines, placed it in the city
library, where visitors from all parts of
the state can see it There are thirty
one volumes, well executed. The State
Register quotes a few extracts from the
title pages, as follows:
The volume which bears the names of
the thousands upon thousands who rest
at beautiful Arlington bears upon it's
title page this verse:
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And Glory guards with solemn sound
The bivouac of the Dead.
Another which has the names of those
at Memphis and Chalmette has the fol-
lowing:
Oh. never shall the land forget
How gushed the lffe-bloOd of her brave.
Gushed warm with hope and courage yet
Upon the soil they fought to save.
Another volume has the following:
Oh. for the death of those
Who for their country die,
Sink on her bosom to repose
And triumph where they lie.
The title page of another volume
bears this: Stranger, go tell the
American people we died that they
might be free"
Another volume which contains the
names of a great many Iowa soldiers
has this:
Invincfble banner! the Flag of the Free!
Oh, where treads the foot that would falter
for thee,
Or hands that would be folded till triumph
And the eagle looks proud as of old to the
sun.
Another volume which is inscribed
Names of those who suffered martyr
dom throughout the South" has the
following:
Whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the battles van,
The nOblest place for man to die
Is where he dies for man.
We will quote but one more. 1t is
that which bears the long roll Of Ander-
sonville. The inscription on this vol
ume is eloquent in it's brevity and sim
1t is simply, "The Martyrs"

The Atlas of Colorado, soon to be
issued by the U. S. Geological Survey
of the Territories, under Prof, +. V.
Hayden, embodies the results Of the
Geological and Geographical work of
the Survey during the years from 1878
to 1876, inclusive. This Atlas will con
tain the following Maps:
/. A general drainage map of Col
orado on a scale of twelve miles to the
inch.
2. An economic map Of the same
region, having at it's basis the above
mentioned drainage map. This map will
indicate the acres OF arabic, pasture,
timber, coal, and desert land in as great
detail as possible on the scale.
3. A general geological map on which
the acres covered by the principal form
atoms will be shown. The drainage
map will form the basis of this also.
4. A map showing the scheme Of the
primary triangulation in the State.
Scale twelve miles to the inch.
5. Six typographical sheets, showing
the same area as that covered by the
general drainage map, but in much more
detail. The scale of these sheets is
four miles to an inch. The relief of the
country is indicated by contour lines,
at vertical intervals of 200 feet. The
area covered by each of these sheets is
1900 square miles

New YORK, March l3.-The American
National Rife Team of 1877 have voted
permission to Tiffany & Co to place the
Centennial Palma trophy in the Paris
Exposition, provided that no fsreisn

contest for its possession.
The directors Of the National Rifle
Association, at their last meeting, ap.
pointed a committee to consider q plan
for selecting the American team for 1878.
The team of 1877 argued yesterday that
the National Association was but a local
organization, and supported this view by
citing the fact that the Northwestern
Rife Association had a local trophy
which was shot for last year and won by
the Irish team, and the Northwestern
men we're going to send a team this year
to Ireland after it, thus ignoring alto
Eetter the authority Of the National Rife
Association. The team of last year
agreeing that they are the guardians of
the trophy and therefore the proper
body to arrange for the selection Of a
team which is to defend the supremacy
Of American reaemen against all corners,

to appoint a COMMITTEES to consider the
matter and submit a plan at the next
