We copy in to-day's paper an interesting ar'-
ella from the New York Morning News in refer
cncc to this concern, which we commend 10 the
attention Of our rcadces. This rag shop Of Geo.
Smith has operated extensively in this region for
five or six years, and we had entertained the
hope that as the legislature of Wisconsin was
about 10 meet. its career would sOcn be brought
to close. But in this hope we find our people
are destined to be Disappointed. Although its op.
crations have been Illegal from the beginning,
and Of a nature TO render i, unworthy OF the least
confidence, the community have been astounded
10 learn that the Government have selected 1t as
the depository Of the heavy land revenues Of the
Green Bay, Milwaukee, and Chicago districts !;
thus, when nearly in the last ihroes, when oufol
credit, and the legislature Of Wisconsin ready to
give it final quietus. aud our people preparing
10 rejoice in their good riJlance, giving il new
credit, life, aud strength, and fastening it on Us
lo,s,s..,v and i,,,,,;evahlv un,l i, shall he Geo
Smiths own good pleasure 10 end it by finally
decamping. iiow the government was induced
