companies of the reorganized regiment, which retained the name of the 34th infantry.

The move- ments of the regiments were rapid, and they were engaged in the field as regiments, by battalions and companies. A particular account of their operations and also of the batteries of light artil- lery may be found in the reports of the adjutant general for the years 1861 to 1865 inclusive.

CHAPTER XXXVII.
GOV. STONE'S ADMINISTRATION.
Last Message of Gov. Kirkwood-Summary of War Statistics -State Mat- ters - Election Canvass -Laws of the Tenth General Assembly - Elec- tion Notes.
THE TENTH general assembly of the state of Iowa convened at Des Moines, on the 11th day of January, 1864, and was organ- ized permanently in the senate, by Lieut. Gov. Needham taking his seat as president, and the election of W. F. Davis, as secretary ; and in the house by the election of Jacob Butler, as speaker, and Jacob Rich, chief clerk.
The message of Gov. Kirkwood was sent to each branch of the general assembly, from which the following statistics are taken, and also his views and recommendations on matters of public in- terest :
"The finances of the state are reported as being in a healthy condition. The entire state debt is only $622,295.75, consisting of loans from the school fund, $122,295.75 ; loan of 1858, $200,000, and war loan of 1861, $300,000. Of the $800,000 of war bonds authorized to be sold, $500,000 remain on hand - none have been offered since the $300,000 were sold; and it is believed no fur- ther sales will be necessary. The report of the state auditor shows that the moneys now in the state treasury, the delinquent taxes, the amount estimated to be due from the United States, and the taxes for 1863 and 1864, are sufficient to pay the esti- mated expenditures for the next two years, leaving a balance in the treasury of $200,000. There is also due the state from the United States, for expenses incurred by the state in raising and equipping troops and sending them to the field, and for other purposes growing out of the rebellion, the estimated amount of $300,000. There is much difficulty in procuring an adjustment

of this claim at Washington. These moneys were expended by the state when there was no law of congress or regulation of the federal government !prescribing the form in which proof of the expenditures should be taken. Upon presenting the vouchers and proofs, as provided for by the general assembly of the state, to the proper department at Washington they are found not to comply in form with regulations since adopted by that depart- ment, and it is doubtful whether these accounts will be allowed without some legislation by congress. Reference is made to the various grants of land to the state for school, university, railroad and other purposes of which it is not necessary to give particu- lars. The management of these funds and lands is reported as satisfactory.
"The state university is in a flourishing condition, and has over three hundred and fifty students in attendance. It is recom- mended to the favorable consideration of the general assembly. At the commencement of the ninth general assembly, 1862, the state had organized and sent to the field fourteen regiments of infantry, three regiments of cavalry and three batteries of artil- lery ; and had in progress of organization two regiments of in- fantry and one of cavalry. Of these regiments, the first infantry was enlisted for three months, and had then been mustered out of service. All the others were enlisted for three years. Since the commencement of that session the two regiments of infantry and one of cavalry, then incomplete, have been organized, and in addition thereto, twenty-four regiments of infantry, five regiments of cavalry and one battery have been enlisted; and all for three years. Besides these complete organizations, a large number of men have been enlisted for regiments in the field. I have not been able as yet to ascertain whether the quota of this state, under the last call of the president for volunteers to fill the ranks of our veteran regiments has been filled ; if it has not, the defi- ciency cannot be large, if the proper credit has been given by the provost marshal general for our excess over all quotas previously called for, and can be easily and promptly filled by draft.
" Besides the troops thus furnished to the army of the union, there were organized, as required by the acts of the extra session of 1862, five companies of mounted men for the protection of the

northwestern frontier against the Indians, and ten companies of mounted men on the southern border, to protect the persons and property of the people on that line against the depredations of organized bands of guerillas from Missouri. The companies on the northwestern frontier have all been disbanded, and their place supplied by troops of the United States."
The message closes with his views on national affairs, slavery and kindred matters.
On the 13th of January, the two houses met in joint conven- tion to canvass the votes for governor and lieutenant governor. The canvass was concluded with the following result :
The whole number of votes cast for governor was - 142,314
Of which William M. Stone received - 86,107
James M. Tuttle received -

The whole number of votes cast for lieutenant governor was - 141, 605

Whereupon the president announced that William M. Stone was duly elected governor of the state for the term of two years, and that Enoch W. Eastman was duly elected lieutenant governor for the term of two years, they having received a majority of all the votes cast at the election in October last. On the day follow- ing, the governor elect delivered his inaugural address.
The two houses met again in joint convention, at which time Hon. James W. Grimes was elected United States senator for the term of six years, from the 4th of March, 1865; E. A. Layton, warden of the state penitentiary ; E. F. Edgerton, Reuben Noble and L. T. Sherman, directors of the State Bank of Iowa: Wil- liam Beckford, Thos. A. Graham and E. S. Griffith, bank com- missioners for the term of two years. The general assembly ad- journed sine die, March 29, 1864.
The following acts were passed at the regular session of the tenth general assembly, in 1864: To increase the number of judges of the supreme court to four; for the encouragement of public libraries ; to encourage lead mining in the state ; to abol-

The state census, taken January, 1863, shows 354,661 males; 346,181 females ; 1,320 colored ; total, 702,162, of which number, 135,068 were entitled to vote.
At the presidential election in November, 1864, the vote of the state was as follows :
Home vote for Abraham Lincoln,

A secretary of state and members of congress were chosen at the same time. The vote for secretary of state was : Home vote for republican candidate (Ed. Wright), 72,517: soldiers' vote, 17,254 ; total, 89,771. Home vote for democratic candidate (Hen- dershott), 48,056 ; soldiers' vote, 1860 : total, 49,910 ; majority for republican candidate, 39,861. The entire list of members of con- gress on the republican ticket were elected. To the general as- sembly the democrats elected less than fifteen members.
The election of a governor and legislature in the year of 1865 gave rise to an animated political canvass, during the summer and autumn, the main question involved in which was the extension
325
ADMINISTRATION OF GOV. STONE.
of the elective franchise to the colored population of the state. In August a soldier's convention, which was largely attended, met at Des Moines and nominated a state ticket, composed of offi- cers recently in the national service, and headed by the name of Gen. Thomas H. Benton for governor. As the convention was ostensibly called and controlled by the opponents of colored suf- frage, it passed strong resolutions against the adoption of such measure, and issued an address to the soldiers of Iowa who were opposed to negro suffrage, urging them to support the candidates nominated by it. The democratic convention which assembled at the same time and place as the above made no nomination, but indorsed the candidates and resolutions of the soldiers' conven- tion. In a letter accepting the nomination, Gen. Benton avowed himself a republican and an opponent of negro suffrage, on the ground that the period had not arrived for so radical a change in the political organization of the state, and that such a change would prove, under existing circumstances, detrimental, rather than beneficial to the colored race.
The republican convention renominated Gov. Wm. M. Stone for office, and among other resolutions, adopted one in favor of making the elective franchise conditional only upon loyalty to the constitution and the union, and recognized the equality of all men before the law. An additional resolution recommending an amendment to the constitution of the state, so as to give the elec- tive franchise to colored men, was adopted by a large majority.
The election took place on the second Monday of October, 1865, and resulted in the return of Wm. M. Stone by a majority of about 16,500 over Gen. Benton. The remaining candidates on the republican ticket received majorities of 20,000 and upwards. Gov. Stone received a smaller majority than his associates on the republican ticket, from the fact, that he was more strongly com- mitted than they in favor of negro suffrage. The legislature (elected for 1866) stood, senate, 43 republicans and 5 democrats ; house, 83 republicans and 15 democrats.

assembly to present, in connection with the financial statement, an exhibit of the state military expenditures from the beginning of the war to the present time :
"There was expended for military purposes from
May, 1861, to November 4, 1861, - $233,568 43
November 4, 1861, to November 2, 1863, 639,163 85
November 2, 1863, to November 4, 1865, - 169,231 00 -
November 4, 1865, to January 1, 1866, - 4,047 71
" These dates express the periods withiu which the above sums were paid, but not when they were actually incurred. The amount incurred from January 14, 1864, to January 1, 1866, is $44,931.32. Total military expenditures for all purposes up to January 1, 1866, are $1,046,735.99.
" It will be observed that most of these expenditures were in- curred during the period beginning with the war and closing with the fiscal year 1863. This was caused by our being compelled, in order to facilitate the military operations of the general govern- ment to defray a large portion of the expenses incurred in enlist- ing, transporting, subsisting, quartering and paying the volunteer forces organized in this state. The sums thus expended were re- garded merely, as money advanced to the United States, for which, under the acts of congress approved respectively July 17th and 27th, 1861, we are entitled to reimbursement.
