Sabbath Law in Iowa.

A correspondent of the Jefferson (Iowa) Bee, writing from the capital of that State, gives the following item. We thank Iowa, and cannot but contrast her liberality with the refusal of Pennsylvania to grant a similar right to Sabbath-keepers:

“For the Saturdayists.—The House also passed a bill in reference to the opinions of the Seventh-day Baptists, changing the time of holding the annual school meeting from the first Saturday to the first Monday, in March. Under the old rule, these people were cut off from a participation in such proceedings, for the reason that the meeting occurred on their Sabbath day.”—Sabbath Recorder.
