A DECISIVE kRGTNFNT

Quite an interesting discussion has sprung NJ
between Bishop Hughes and Mr.. CIR eey OF tn,
! n. y. Tribune touching Peter pence" and Ro-
| man affairs generally Both are able and ''cun-
| ming Of fence" but the latter has decidedly thu
| best of it. In his second letter, after speaking
| of the alleued outragcS committed by the Ronali
! Republicans and protesting against the compa-
risons sometimes drawn between them and our
! revolutionary sires, the Bishop says;
clam often surprised to see even edncatedm"n
in this country allowing the brightest page Off :
history to be furnished by admitting into compa-
rison with the American Revolution the princi-
Piles and the men Of petty and abortive Revolu-
J tiOnsin Europe. The men of the revolution III
this country took up arms, not to overthrow an
old Government bat to resist He,c tyranny.
They resisted that tyranny with success; and
when the battle was ever, were an independent
Nation. Their cause was Just in the sight OF
Heaven and of man. Heaven blessed them IN
sustaining it. They were wise in council; they
were brave in the field; they were honorable,
hgh-mind3d men everywhere; they did no act
to tarnish the Justice of their cauSG-nO act OF
which their proudCst posterlty need be ashamed.
! There was no assassin among them. They hated
whatever was dishonorablc: they despised a lie
and its utterer-in short, they were geIUiemeH as
well as patriots. The troops sometimes walked
barefoot on the snow: but they committed no
sacrilcge, they pundared no churches-they
respected the rights of property, both public and
private. And | ask, in the name OF lnsnlted
Freedom whether the murdercrs of Rossi, and
ofthe other victims of the Roman revolution, are
to be admitted or rather elevated by Americans
to any species of comparative equality with the
untarnishcd names of Franklin, Washington,
Hancock and their noble associates. Though
not an American born, yet | for one feel pride
enough in the history of the country To enter my
humble protest against it..
On this point Mr.. Greeley replies in a brief
paragraph, but it is a clincher in the way of ar
gument
The Bishop protests against all comparison
of the Roman Reyoutionists with our own fore
fathers. deeming the former assassins, liars deS-
poors of churches, etc. We apprehend that
there is some truth at the bottom OF this contrast
that the mass of the Italians far less fitted
for securing, defending, and enjoying the bless
ings of liberty than our forefathers were. Whe-
Their it is polite in Catholic Bishop to draw the
contrast so broadly, in view of the precedent
history aud dominant faith Of the two countries,
is question to be pondered; and, at all events,
if ten centuries of ecclesiastical sovereignty
have left the Romans so wretchedly qualified
for Freedom, we can hardly wonder that they
grow tired of such Improbable schooling. We
trust the truth grows every day more manifest
that the only fit preparation for enacting worthy
the part of Freemen is Freedom

" The last Elkhorn Star has an article on
the subject of "direct iaxation," which is worth
a word of comment. The Star has made cal
culatIon by which it appears the proportion of
Wisconsin, in the payment of our annual gov
Crnmcnal expenses, would be under the system
OF direct taxation about S40O. 900, and conclude,
thcreirom that the people would not stand che
tax Now we ask the Star, If the expense is not
paid whatever the system by which it is done:
and if the whole merit of the controversy is not
simply IN the mote of collecting the tax. The
Star says 100000 is the proportion Of Wiscona
sin. II this be the fact, then we claim that bv
the system OF indirect taxation, the cost of col
lection equals the original tax, and it is paid twice
over; whereas by direct taxation and collection,
the whole could be paid into the T. S. Treasury
for five per cent. or less. 1t is a self evident
proposition that the immense Gus ON houses are
all built, ollicered and all expenses paid out of
this indirect taX-that our revenue ships are
built and oitiC red, aud all expenses paid in the
same way. Add to this the inevitable extravs-
gance OF government growing out of THIS lndi.
rect mode of raising revenue. and there * no
question but The legitimate expenses of govern
ment are paid twice over by this system. This
then is the real point whether the people shall
pay 100000 directly, or 100000 indirectly.

u Oar readers and the people of the State
generally, are aware that David Merrill, Receiver
of Canal lands at Milwaukee, has had from
twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars of the
State funds in his possession, which, on various
pretexts he neglected and refused to pay over
Under the direction of the late Legislature. a
summary process was served sgajnst him. re-
turnabe at the late session of the Supreme
Court. The Supreme Court heard the cause,
and ordered out writ Of mandamus to compel
David Merrill to pay forthwith into the State
treasury the sum of twenty-five thousand dol
lars. The writ will undoubtedly bring the
funds which we may expect ere long will be
found in the treasury. The whole State indebt.
edness is set down at thirty thousand dollars
This, and the dues of the several counties, which
we may hope will soon be liquidated, will more
than pay it, which will leave Wisconsin without
cent of Territorial or State Indebtedness.

Rock county jail we noticed some days since,
was rccaPtured in this place on Friday evening

was followed by several persons who searched

tick on whicha couple of women were lying at
the time. lie was returned to Rock county Jail.

IL We hope the Democracy of the State
will bear in mind the character Of the Wiscon-
sin Argus, before following its advice. Not a
single progressive measure has ever been en-
acted or preached in the State or former Terri
tory, which has not met its unqualified condem-
nation and opposition. At the present time it is
filled with articles condomning Homestead Ex-
emption and other similar measures enacted by
and dear to the Democracy. The position of
the Argus as the leader of Hunkorsm in this
State is well known. 1t has been defeated thus
far at every turn, and has no hopes of success
in a fair, open controversy; yet it by no means
abandons its ground. 1t is now seeking to get
up false issues in The hope of better accomplish
ing its ends.

THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.

This spacious, airy and commodious edifce is
nearly completed. 1t is expected that OH Satur-
day of this week, the seats will all be in their
places and well painted. The plan of the seats
adopted by the trustees, will give we think good
satisfaction to qll concerned. They are neatly
contrived, take less room than seats of the ordi-
nary style, and will we think prove comfortable
to the scholar and durable to the district
The standards which support the ends of the
seats and benches, are made of cast iron in very
neat and roon-saving form, and are fastened to
the floor by means of screws. They are very
smooth castings, and will appear very neat
when we'll painted
DEDICATION AND OPENING.
We understand that the School House will
be dedicated with proper ceremonies and sorvi-
ces on Saturday week, and the school will be
opened for the reception of scholars, on the
Monday following. Official notice of both ded-
icalion and opening will be given by the trustees
