MADISON CORRESPONDENCE.
MADISON, January 9th, 1871.


Several matters bothof a local and gencr-
al interest, have received the action of the
Legislative Assembly darihg the past week.
number of new counties have been erect
ed within the former limits of Crawl; C I'M
tN which county formerly embraced all that
extensive region of country, extending from
Prairie du Chen TO lake Superior. These
new counties are nlmed La Pointe, Ch;ppc-
wa and Wabashaw. La Pointc county en-
braces all that portion of country which has
excited so much in crest within the last year
as the copper region of Lake SUI ior,
The county of WabashavI is named after an
Indian Chief of some notoriety, who is still
living within the limits of the new county as
organlzed. Chippewa county takes its name
from tribe of that name. That extensive
tract of country between the Wisconsin and
Mississippi rivers, and extending north to
the shores of lake Superior, which has hith-
erto been comparatively unknown, is des,-
ned in few years to become the abode of
civilization, and its immense resources will
ere long be developed.
The bill changing the time for holding
the annual meetings ofthe several boards OF
supervisors has passed both houses and be-
come law. The bill provides that the
board of supervisors shall meet on the Mon
day following the general election in each
year; and the chairman of the several boards
of town supervisors, are required TO convey
the election returns TO the county seat, free
of charge for mileage,
The most important bill whicd has passed
the Council, is bill entitled an " act con-
corning Justices of the Peacc.n This bill
makes several important alterations in rela-
ton 10 proceedings in Justices courts. JUS
tees by THE act will hereafter be elected TO
hold their Offices for two years: the bill pro-
vdes that OH the return day of proc ess, each
party shall put in his pleadngs, and bill of
partic ulars of demands, the justice shah
then upon the application of either party,
without requiring cause TO be shown, adj
journ the case not exceeding one week. No
costs are TO be taxed for attendance of witt
nesses, service Of subpoena, &c, for any
cause on the return day, unless an actual
trial shall be had on that day. No party is
| allowed an appeal from justice court, where
the judgment rendered does not exceed. ~
teen dollars; unless the claims of either par
| ty as proved in the cause on tIldl, shall ex-
coed fifty dollars. Before an appeal can ha
had, the party appealing must make affidavit
stating the appeal to be matie IN good faith,
and not for the purpose Of delay; ALSO giYs
security for the judgment and costs of an
peal. No Justice is allowed 10 hold IA n

PRoGRFss OF FREE TRADE!- 1t is aston
ishtng to witnoss the progress of the prin-
ciples Of Free Trade! A few years ago,
i, was bu, little short Of treason to advocate
those principles, and the Wing papers
were full of denunciations of every man
who had The audacity TO speak disparaging-
ly of the ''American Systcm," Of which MIR.
Clay is the father.
Now, mark the change! The Richmond
Wing, the leading Clay paper in Virginia,
in commenting upon the recent Anti-Tarifi
demonstrations from Ashland, makes the
annexed declaration of Mr.. Mr.. CIay's prin-
cipes:
.sThe fact, that Mr.. Clay is more Of a
free trade man-advocate, as he is, OF a
wise and reasonable tarif-than Mr.. Van
Buren,, is becoming generally hnorn to the
people of the South. His letter to DR..
Bronson, THE Georgia letter. in conse'
quence Of the unjust criticism of the Dem
ocrats, and their vile attempt TO show that
it is inconsistent with his former opinions,
has had the effect Of bringing this fact to
the knowledge of thousands who formerly
were not aware Of it"
So it seems that Henry Cay is " more
of Free Trade man" than Mr.. Van Bu-
rem; and thousands who formerly were
not aware Of it," have been convinced oil
IS this fact" by Mr.. Clay's letter to Mr.
Bronsonl
And yet; strange as It may seem, tho
Wing papers here at the North oppose
Mr.. Van Buren, as Free Trade man, and
claim support for Mr.. Clay because of his
great zeal in favor of Protective Tariff

correspondent of the Chicago Democrat
writing from Washington says: "Two things
are considered quite certain, VIZ Doty can't
be ousted as Governor of Wisconsin nor Moo
nan, post master at Milwaukee. The Presi-
dent thinks they are, like himself, much abu-
sed men," Quite a compliment to the de-
mocratic postmaster, but amply deserved.
Tyler, Doty, and Noonan; what an estina-
ncgade from his party and principles, the de-
faultcr TO the territory, and the ex-cashier Of
the Bcrrien county bank; all much abused
men. There are no inducements 10 homes

Destruction by Liohtnino.--A writer

Destruction by Lishtning.--A writer in
the Journal Of G. Dmmerce says That there
have appeared in that paper. from May to
October, '43, accounts of damage done by
lightning in eighty-four different places,
averaging more than one for every two
days. Fifty persons, twelve horses, four
oxen, three cows, four swine, eleven ducks,
one hen, one buzzard, one dog, and one
rat were killed. Feathers, therefore, are
not in all cases a defence from lightning.
Only three of the buildings struck had
lightning rods, and these we're slightly
damaged. Fifty-seven persons were said
to be injured by the shock. In several in
stances persons we're restored by freely
pouring cold water on them. The writer
referred to thinks that owners of houses
ought by all means TO provide themselves
with lightning rods.--Boston Post.

The practical illustration of theory is
worth volume of argument on the subject
A writer from settlement west ofthc Rocky
mountains, says: "W have no laws for the
collection of debts,yet debts are always paid. -
So it appears there is happy community,
where. laws for the collection of debts are not
known but where debts ale nevertheless
paid. Doubtless one half their community
are not lawyers, Justices, officers of courts,
&c. &c. but all hardy producers. They are
not dragged from their labor for weeks every
year to try the question as TO whether A owes
B, or B owes c. All they earn they proba-
bly, get, and the thousands paid by us who
enjoy the blessings of these laws they know
nothing about, nor do they probably know
any thing about those disturbances in com
munities, the petty animosites and bitterness
of feeling, which suits at law are continually
engendering. Did any person ever calculite
what is probably paid by the people of Ra-
cine county every year, as result OF the
l,ws for the collection of debts. They ply
enough in five years to build harbors at Ra-
cine and Southport. Would the repeal OF
these laws detrimentally affect the commu-
nifty in any possible way. The effect would
be in the first place to throw many non-pro-
duccrs into the field of production, thereby
increasing the actual wealth of the country;
again, oplace every individual upon his me-
rits in his business transactions. The ques-
ton, instead of being, how much property
has the individual that the law can get
hold of, will be, is he high minded, honora-
BILE, and honest; thus encouraging an eleva
ted honesty in conlradistinction to the accu-
mutation, by any means, of property, which
alone gives standing.
OF course we do not advocate the imme.
date abolition of all laws for the collection
of debts. They are too intimately entwined
with all our relations, to be elected at once
They must be approached gradually, and the
evil eradicated without injury TO the sy:tem

by neglecting the wishes of the people, sac
rifice their future ascendancy and ability 10
do good, TO conciliate the local prejudices,
or personal ambition of any man or set Of
men; and let these men for once throw aside
their local prejudices and personal motives,
for the pubic good. Nothing is asked, but
that the question shall be submitted by sane
ton of law, to the action OF the people.
To this there can be no reasonable objection
urged, for the matter will be solely with the
people TO do as they please in the premises.
They can accept or reject; if the former the
responsibility is solely with themselves, if
the latter, there is no blame can attach TO
the Legislature. If the Legislature refuses
10 pass a law of this character, it must be be-
cause they are afraid the people will embrace
the proposition, and enter into state govern
ment, and are they prepared to incrpose OBJ
siacles 10 prevent this desire ON the part of
the people. If they do, the people will not
hold them guili!ess,but will visit their selfish
ness upon them as it deserves. If the Lee
gisature now ncglects TO act, one year must
elapse before they again assemble, and if ac-
ton is then had, some further time must
elapse before the question can come directly
before the people Cln this delay be justi-
fed on any ground whatever; on the contrary
does not every consideration urge to immc-
date action. Let the legislature then act
with that patriotic wisdom which is clearly
pointed out, and no longer delay action on
this subject.

STATE GovERNMENT.-ln the House OF
Representatives January =, Mr. Platt offered
a preamble and resolution on the subject OF
State Government. Mr.. Ellis stated that
the object of the resolution was TO procure
an expression of the House on the question
of State Government, and he opposed it be.
cause the subject was already in the hands
of committee, and it would be highly in
decorous on the part of the House towards
that committee 10 take any action upon the
resolutions at this time.
We think there is something more in this
matter, than at first glance meets the .pnblic
eve. Why does not the committee to whom
the matter was referred, make report2 They
have had ample time and it is now drawing
towards The close of the session. The com
mittee, we understand are opposed to state
government, and can it be that whilst the
question is TO be kept from before the House
Oh the grounds urged by Mr. Ell;s.the commit
tee are determined net 10 report until so late
a period that no definite action can be had.

Mo rs VI. SrRoNG's REroRT.-We arc

indebted 10 the able author, fora copy of this
Report. Tne questions it discusses, are:
81. Whether there hls been any infringe
mcnt by the government of the United States
Of the boundaries prescribed by the ord
nance for the fifth state 10 be formed in the
northwest territory; and if so, what?
-. If there has been any such infringe
mcnt, what measures ought 10 be taken in
relation thereto?
"3. What effect such Infringement should
have on the formation of state government
III Wisconsin"
The report s long, occupying upwards of
40 octave pages. The conclusions arrived
at, arc, that the boundaries of Wisconsin
were mfringed by the act admitting Illinois
into tho Union; by the act giving 10 M;ch-
gan tract of country south of Lake SUPERB
or, and by the treaty of 1912, between MIR.
Webster and Lord Ashburton. The ground
is taken that these acts are not binding on
the people of Visions n; that they can form
a state government and claim and exercise
jurisdiction over all the country guaranteed
to them by the ordinance of 1857. But is
wisely concluded, that exercising this right
would involve us in serious and unpleasant
collisions with our ncighbors, whilst the re-
suit might not be what we desire, and there
fore it is thought it would be more produce
tive of good TO appeal to the magnanimity
andscnse of justice of Congress. and for the
territory which has been taken, ask as an
C Equivalent, the construction OF various works
of improvement, which arc specified in the
address accompanying the report. The OPP
mon is expressed, in view of all the facts, that
is the wiscst policy for Wisconsin, to CONT
uue under her present forrn Of government.
for that whereas. we are now weak, yet we
shall become s;rong enough to maintain our
rights against opposition from whatever source
it mly come.
People are constituted to sec things di I
ftrrently, and of course every subject takes
the bias of the peculiar mind under which it
comes. The author of this report, we infer
Is one who is disposed to stand up for what
he conccives TO be right under any and all
circumstances, and the cost of rghting a
wrong is nothing in his estimation compared
with the necessity of having the right esta-
hi; Sbcj and Socurod We ,re rather moro
non-rcs;s slant in our opinions and feelings
excitement and turmoil has no charms for US
and unless our rights were essentially inva-
ded, threatening to affect permanently ou'
well-bcing and happiness, we should much
prefer quiet and peace TO resistance. What
has net Wisconsin within her recognized
boundaRcs which she desires. She has ev.
cry requisite for mixing one of the greatest
no reasonable objection to asking indemnity
of Congress- AS recommended,w are entirely
opposed 10 delaying action on the state go
vcrament question on the account stated
Besides, we do not see that entering into
the un on with our present boundaries, is tC
impair cur right 10 demand indemnity of Con
grcss for the territory taken from us; the
right sill remains, and as state we can urge
wi h mach more force and better prospcc
of success,
