We publish in another colum a couple of
bills before Congress Of immediate interest
10 us. One provides for the erection Of
light house; the other for the construction
and improvement of certain roads. We
think the light house bill will pass; what
will be the fate of the road bill is uncertain.
We most heartily wish that, that also could
become law. 1t provides for the improve
ment of roads of as much general impor-
tanee as any in the Territory. A good road
from our own village TO Beloit, would pass
through certainly portion of the territory
equal to the best in fertility and productive
ness, and as ihickly, if not more thickly set
tied than other portions Of equal extent
Both Racine and Milwaukee have had the
monies of the government pretty literally
applied for the construction of roads leading
to The respective towns; Southport has as
yet been without cent. There is no good
reason why the partality should be shown.
Every consideration which should influence
the appropriation Of government money for
these purposes, applies with quite as great
force 10 our own town, a it possibly can 10
Racine or Milwaukee. The country is BET
ter adapted for the construction of a road.
No part of the territory is more thickly set
tied, or brought under more general culti-
walton, and as consequence for bringing
produce to market and transporting goods
in return, no road is more needed. True,
the failure of the government 10 appropriate
money heretofore, has by no means prevent
ed our advancement. Our town is the nat
ural market outlet Cor fertile and extensive

quenily existed for roads; and through the
force ofnecessity the roads have been con-
structed. We have KEEP, full pace with our
more fortunate rivals, and shall continue TO
do SO should appropriations still be withheld /;
but spirit of justice and impartialty should
prompt an appropriation such as is called
for; backed as it is by os good reasons as
ever existed for making neutrality-suspicious..
The appropriation for the road from See
boygan 10 the Fox river we should like
much TO see made. 1t is highly impor-
tant route Sheboygan, we think must
eventually and before long, be the lake
port, for hat excellent section of country
embraced in Fon du Lac, Marquette. Win
nebago, and other counties in that neigh
borhood. She has excellent facilities for
the construction of harbor; every necessa-
ry requisite for town sile-and nature ev-
identity points her cut as the place of mar.
ket for the section we allude to. BY the
construction of this road, this will be at once
brought about. Without the appropriation
it will be done sooner or later, but the APP
preparation will hasten rapidly the develope-
ment of the resources Of a rich section of
country.
Those who have travelled on the Militia

Of negroes, compared with whites in the
State of Ohio, are much restricted. They
cannot appear in Court TO testify against a
While man; they are excluded from COM
mon schools, &c; and a memorial is now
before the Legislature praying that they
may be incapacitated from holding or buy
lug real estate, and that all contracts made
by them or with them shall be null and void :.
Now might not this be very serious in
iringement upon the right of citizens of Mas
sachusetts. A colored citizen of Massachu-
sets cannot appear in an Ohio court to de-
tend his rights against white man; he can
not have the privileges of common schools
and perhaps WILDE incapacitated from hold
ing real estate or making contracts. Now
what ri. 1t he's Ohio TO infringe thus upon
rights which Massachusetts, guarantees to
her own citizens in her own state. Is IT
not fit subject for an agency. Where Is

THE BANK DErEAT-There are some
instances of firmness and integrity of prin-
cipe, displayed in the Council on the de-
cision of the bank question, which are de-
serving of particular commentator. 1t
will be seen in the letter of our Madison
correspondent, that of the three members
in the Council from the county of Milwau-
kie, two voted for the bank, and one against
it. The Hon A. Z. RAY of that county,
recorded his vote against it. We are as
sured from reliable sources, that Mr.. Ray
was day after day beset to vote for the bank,
by influential and prominent men, who claim
cd TO be his constituents and democratic
friends in the county of Milwaukee; he was
piled with every species of argument !;
he was coaxed and threatened, and every
possible influence was used to induce him
10 60 for the measure. lie resisted noby
every temptation, and spurned every threat.
If there is any virtue in tho democracy of
Milwaukee county, they will rally 10 the sup
port of such men, and shield them from the
insidious attacks of bank minions.

An affair of HONOR, as it is face,iously
termed, was nigh upon coming off recently,
at the seat of government. 1t appears that
Mr.. |. p Walker at Milwaukee, had spoken
of the Democracy of Mr.. Kneeland, MEM
Der Of the Council from that county, very
much as it appeared 10 him, in view of Mr.
kneeland's being the father of the Bank
project. Mr.. Walker visiting Madison, Of
fered his hand in a friendly way to Mr..
kneeland-who refused to agi tate the
protfered digit. Mr.. Wake! next day sent
friend TO ask an explanation of Mr.. Knee
land. This We have from the Milwaukee
Courier, which up TO the hour of going TO
press, had no further news. 4 Duel cam
not take place that is certain, for we are
confident should the parties meet-,here
will be such shaking of hands on 10th
sides as must reconcile the difficulty.

We know not whether winter like this
which is about closing, was ever before ex-
perienced in this region; it certainly has ne
yer been within our experience. We have
not had over one week OF cold weather, and
all the snow which has fallen would not reach
four inches in depth. We have had much
mild and agreeable sunshine, and not little
of warm rainy weather. much more natural
TO April than winter We think the weather
has not been favorable for the wheat crop,

FIRE-THE TRI-
BUNE BUILDINGS DESTROYED.

BUNE BUILDINGS DESTROY Ell.
We regret TO announce the destruction
BY fire yesterday morning, about 4 o'clock,
the large four story building No. l6O Mas
sau street, known as the Tribune Bull
dag owned by Thompson Price, esq.
The fire, it is asserted by boy who
worked in the building, commenced in the
publishing room on the lower story. He
was kndling fire in the stove for the day,
and having no charcoal with which the fire
was usually started, he filled the stove up
with light fire wood. The blaze from this
communicated 10 the books and loose pa
pers lying about, and in an instant the
whole were in blaze.
The od;oinging building, occupied, by
Wilson &C.,, late Brother Jonathan pub
fishers, and the True Sun, had marrow
escape, and was only saved by the per-
scvering efforts of The fremcn. A small
building on the corner Of Spruce and Mas
.ua streets, owned by Moses Y Beach, and
formerly occupied ns the Sun and Pebeiun
offices, but now as liquor store, was also
destroyed with its contents. The large
building on Spruce street, connected with
the Tribune office, and owned by Thomos
Brice, occupied as job printing office,

which is buried in the ruins, but which they
hope has preserved them.
Tammany Hall had narrow escape.
The bath room and bed room Of Mr. How

was on FIRE, but by the perseverins efforts
Of the firemen the flames wers subbdued

reached the Indies dressing room, attached
10 the ball room, where severrl ladies' ere
dressing to go home from ball, hold there
during the evening, andt hey wer' Hreadfully
alarmed, running out into the stree, bare

Probably on no other night Of the pas,
season, could the same amour, of damage
have been done by fire. The state Of the
streets was such, blocked up as they were
by snow, it was almost impossible for the
eng ines TO reach the FIRE. The drag ropes
of several were broken in the attempts 10
get the machines along, and when thew did
reach the fire the by drants were frozen.
and it was long timo before any water
could be got at oil. II is only wonderful
that the flames made no further progress,
but the falling Of the walls in grea, meas,
uro prevented their further speed.-[New

The Washington correspondent of the
Newark Advertiser says:
"The Presidents levee of Tuesday .eve-
ming, which was numerously and fashionably
attended, i, seems was characterized by the
introduction of novel and interesting fea-
ture. The lady of the President appeared
simply but beautifully arrayed in white,
while her head was artificially decorated
with lace or muslin turban. SO arrayed as
to present the resemblance Of a crorn."
1t is said too that Mrs. Tyler requires
these who attend her levees 10 appear in
Court dresses. If the press tells the truth
of Mrs. Tyler, we imagine her vanity is
about equal to that Of her husband, and that
intellectually, they are well matched.

GREAT Snow SToRM-DETENTIoN OF

OF the season set in yesterday morning
about sunrise, with strong gale from the
east. The SNOW continued to fall withour
interm:ssion for ten hours, blocking up oil
the railroads in The vicinity, OBTAINING out
ward bound vessels TO pass Sandy Hook
Many Of the narrow streets were rendered
impossible by large snow drifts. and vehi-
c,es on wheels gave place to those on run
ners. Mufled pedestrians hurried TO and
fro, evidently inten, on reaching shelter
with all possible rapidi,y, and very few
ventured out who could remain in doors
We fear that the shipping on the coast has
suffered severely.
!. The railroads have stopped, it being inn
possible for the trains to make any pro-
gress against the drifts on the roads. As
rapidly as one drift was removed by the
snow plows, the wind blew another in its
place.

comes law, it will raise from twelve TO
fourteen thousand dollars in the Territory,
Of which amount Racine county will pro-
badly pay over twelve hundred dollars
