Mr.. EDITOR
| WISH through the medium OF your widely
circulating Journal to call the attention of the
tax payers of this county to one source of the
drain upon their pockets
want to call their attention to the expenses
of the litigation which had its origin in your
neighboring Town of Southport | don't en-
pect to get at all the cost which has been made
by the conscientious Justices Of that peaceful
Town.
But what appears as having been already
paid by our County Board of Supervisors as
shown in the account which was published last
week, can easily be shown, and | hope the tax
payers OF this county will look over that state
mcnt OF their expenses and see for themselves
where their money goes to. 1t is well known
from one end Of the county to the other, that
hardly week has passed during the past sum
mer but that one or more individuals of that
town have been sued for one thing or another
1t is no part Of my intention to inquire into the
justice or propriety Of those suits at this time,

the result of a neighborhood quarrel bat Just

The State E.ay.s---A GOOD suggestion.

We have seen it suggested, in what print we
cannot now remember that the General Laws
of Wisconsin should be published in every pa
per in the State; the Local Laws in the counties
interested; and that an act published in accord
ance Wi III this proposition, shall govern all de-
cisions i'll law and equity TO which it may re-
late; the Legislature to aliiX small compcnsa-
ton for such publication, to be paid by the coun-
ties or the State at large.
The proposition strikes US as one Of the most
iudicious in the work Of reform, which has vet
been made in Wisconsin and any objection
which may arise on the score of increased taxa
ton or expenditure can easily be met by com
mcnsUrato rctrenchmont in State or Local ex :
pcnses.
AT present not 1.-THE of our citizens can ia
miliarizc themselves with the laws which gov
ern US; with this reform, every man, woman
and child who can read, would have the laws be.
fore them.
We are therefore most decidedly and unoquv-
ocaly in favor of the proposition, and so we
think every man will be who chooses to reflect
upon the subject Green Bay Spectator.

o. The democracy of Massachusetts have
Jnst achieved signal triumph for themselves in
having secured the passage of the secret ballot
iaW-thls has again gwen them the State over
the banded power Of corporations and wealth
The old hunkers of Wisconsin are bowling over
the ballot as the way o. voting, and want to COM
pei men to vote viva voco; they think if they
can dictate to the masses they will not dare vote
against their wishes
So whiggery in Massachusetts and old hun
kerism in Wisconsin are in the same bed
We hope the legislature if it NEEDLES with the
subject will make the scaled envelope necessary
to the legality of vote, then we shall see less
domination at elections than now, and liberal
principles will soon prevail for the masses un-

One thing appears to us as quite clear; that for

A Coon SroRY.-A numurous disciple OF
Themis communicates the following story to
the N. Y. Spirit of The Times. Any one who
knows Judge Nye, can imagine how he enjoyed
the incident alluded to. When Nye himself
tells story, weinevitably commences laughing
some time before the laughing point The sto-
ry is as follows:
Several years ago, when one of our present
Justices of the Superior Court was District at
torney of a neighboring county, rather laugh
able incident occurred, rs related by himself
Court weeks he used to occupy a bedroom at
Col. Lewis, who kept the principal hotel at the
county seat. He had his books and papers in
this room-here he drew his indictments-an
in important cases he used to direct the sheriff
to bring up the peoples witnesses for prelmin-
ary examination.
1t happened at one court that he had an i'm
portant murder case coming on. The celebra-
General, now Judge Nye, was counsel for the
defendant. He examined the witnesses as usu-
al, and took careful minutes of what they void
state on the stand. He found that lady was
the most important witness for the people, and
he also discovered that she was rather excitable
and high strung and a fast talker. Apprehensive
of trouble, he thought he'd caution her little.
So he told her when she came on the stand not
to talk. "Pay attention." says the District at
torney "to my questions, and answer them, but
don't talk. And when Nye comes to examine
you, you must be very careful and not get ex-
cited; for he's great blackguard and will try
to get you mad Just pay attention to his
questions and answer them-no matter how Of
ten repeated, or how apparently silly, but don't
allow him to get you off your balance.
The District Attorney and witness parted for
the night. The next day the case came on
The District Attorney called this witness, and
she went through with her evidence on the part
of the people, to his perfect admiration, and he
handed her over to Nye.
He went along awhile very smoothly. Pret-
ty soon he began to crowd her, and she began
to flare up" he crowded her the more, and she
resented the more and very soon they had up a
regular breeze. Finally, losing all self control
she broke out on him as follows:
81 won't answer any more of your contemp-
tible questions; you are blackguard and the
District Attorney told me SOP
"What! the District Attorney told you so !
When and ,ohere did he tell you so 2"
He told me so last night, up in General Lep-
is bedroom -
The scene that followed may be readily i'm
agined. In the midst Of the shout, Nye told
the witness she might "pass."

A GOOD sUGGEsTIoN.-Wef fnd in an exchange
the following well-timed allusion to subject of
no little annoyance to all travellers by the "rail''
in various parts of the country. With our Gin
cinnati contemporary We believe that an seating
car" would be popular and patronized.
"All who have travelled by railroad know full
well the inconvenience and vexation of the pres
ent system of stations for procuring meals
Scarcely does hungry traveller get his hand up
on cup Of miserable stuff, called coffee, and a
slice of bread and butter, before he is dunned
for the pay, and then by the time he has made
change, the cry is "all aboard" and he must run
for dear life, and sometimes at the expense of it
too, or be left. A Cincinnati paper, to obviate
this, suggests the establishment Of car in
which meals may be provided for travellers, fit
for those who are willing to pay their 20 or 80
cents for wholesome and palatable refreshment
which cannot be got on the road as things exist.
A cup of good coffee, and the necessary trim
ings of bread and butter, &C., could be kept
ready for use at all hours, for those who want
their suppers or dinners. This would abolish
the system of taking twenty-five cents from
hungry traveller, for the privilege of looking at
pie.

IMPROVED RAILROAD TRAcK.-Mr. Abram
Snyder, of Hawley, Wayne Co., Pennsylvania,
has invented an improved track for railroad cars
which consists in having three pairs of wheels
to one truck, and each pair of wheels to be
placed in frame, the three frames being
connected by a joint in such a way that each
frame will conform to the curvatures or inequal-
tiles of the road without causing any strain up
on the others. He employs cast-iron frames
whichcannotb be employed in the ordinary trucks
On the upper surface Of the truck, and over the
joint is placed a circular rim, which serves as
guide to the pair of wheels in the centre of the
frame. This guide prevents the centre wheels
from getting off the rails, and it also is acted
upon by the front frame, so that the centre
wheels are assisted in turning or conforming to
the curvatures of the road with as little friction
as possible.
Measures have been taken to secure patent.

The "EvE,"-Hiram PoUerS Sculptor-The
statue of Eve, one Of the most exquisite pro-
ductions of our gifted countryman, Hiram Pow
ers, has after many vicissitudes by sea and land,
been safely deposited in this city. The statue
belongs to John s. Preston, Esq, of South
Carolina, and was shipped some two years ago
on the Westmoreland. The vessel was wreck
ed near Carthagena, and it was reasonably fear
ed that the beautiful figure was lost or ruined.
A few months since it was recovered, and found
to be uninjured by water, having been SO stow
ed in the ship as to be completely protected. 1t
is also unbroken and unmarried, after all the
rough usage which it has undergone. This is
attributed TO the peculiar manner in which Mr..
Powers boxes his work, leaving the statue per-
fectly free except that the pedestal is firmly fas-
tened at one end of the box, and two very thick
pieces of plank pass over and under the body
just below the arms, holding it perfectly secure
and dispensing with any sort of packing The
81 Eve" for glimpse at which we are indebted
to the politeness of the firm to whom it was
consigned) is piece of work that will do honor
to the already honored artist. This exquisite
representation of the mother of all living is of
life size, standing with the right foot supporting
the body, and the left resting lightly on the
ground, holding in her right hand the apple, and

and leaves the head is slightly inclined to the
right, and the features are of that cast which
denotes the interruption of some purpose just
resolved upon by a sudden doubt as to the con-
sequences.
The enemy is coiled around the stump, rising
from the pedestal, and around the feet of the
woman, at some little distance, his head resting
just far enough around to see the face of his vic
tim, and to keep his own visage unseen. The
position of the statue (still in the box) would
not allow a just inspection or appreciation ofits
beauties, so that we can only say, generally, that
it appears entirely faultless, and an every partc-
ular great and perfect work. 1t is due to Mr..
Powers that the public should haye an 'opportu-
nifty of seeing this exquisite creation, and the
disappointment will be very great if it is taken
from the city without having been publicly ex-
hibited. IN. Y. Tribune.

TRANSFUSING OF BLOOD.

The French papers state that very interest
ing experiment has been lately performed at the
Hotel Dieu Of Lyons. A female was brought
into the hospital who had been seized with vi
olent hemmorrage. Her condition seemed des-
perate. Death appeared imminent, and inevita-
Bile.
Doctor Delorme suggested transfusiou. This
was at first combatted by the other physicians
as offering no chance of success, but was finally
assented to, as, the case being desperate one,
it could do no harm, even If it did no good
One OF the young aspirants, residing in the hos
pital, offered to furnish the blood necessary to
the operation. A syringe was immersed in
warm water and kept there till it became of
temperature little higher than that of blood in
circulation. The proper vein in the arm of the
sufferer was then opened, and fine canula, or
tube, was introduced to some length The 9TH
er end of the tube was then fitted to the syr-
inge, which was enveloped in warm towels, and
in which was the necessary quantity of pure
human blood. The operator then gently forced
into the veins of the dying woman the revivify-
ing fluid.
At this moment, MS she afterwards declared
she felt grateful warmth spread Overher body,
without having the reasoning faculty strong g.
nough to trace 1t to any cause. Soon after she
recovered, in great degree, her senses and eye
sight A few hours later, reaction manifest
ed itself so violently, that the physicians were
seriously alarmed. II seemed as if death might
result as well from too much--too active vital
ity--as from vitality too much exhausted ana
enfeebled. But calming potion soon diminish
ed this unnatural action, and the patient has
since been regularly improving. The last intel
ligence from Lyons states that it is now hardly
possible that a relapse can occur, and that the
cure may be set down as complete.
