u y great number of women, titled and unit
tied, have united in address to their sisters OF
America, urging the use of all moral means for the
abolition of American slavery. The address is
beautifully conceived and admirably tempered and
cannot fail of all the effect that good words in a
good cause, must necessarily have. We shall try
to give it a place hereafter.
Earl Carlisle, better known to our people as Lord
Morpcth, under which title he visited this country
and this section of country, a few years ago, has
written very excellent letter preface to an
English edition of Uncle Toms Cabin. In it, he
takes occasion to pnya marked compliment to Mr..

Sumner as long Jesse ID. Bright thinks he is out

since, to the efforts of some dozen or two men who
appeared to be endcavoring to move some heavy
object in front of the building on the corner OF
Main and Park SITS, formerly the Magnetic Tclc-
graph office A nearer inspection disclosed a
mammoth iron safe, as the object of their labors,
which, on inquiry, we learned was designed for
the "vault " of the new banking establishment,
which establishment will be opened soon in the
building mentioned.

not correspond well with that Senator'S votes here

we had reason to expect better things from him.

GA correspondent of the New York Tribune
intimates that it is the intention of President Pierce
to depart from the plan of public Inauguration
into oficc-taking the oath privately at the Prcsi-
dents mansion, and sending his inaugural to the
Senate to be read by the clerk of that body There
is, it is stated, ample precedent for this and the
object Is TO discourage the attendance of hordes,
whose main purpose is to personally solicit office.
1t is also rumored that Mr.. Pierce has other plans
in contemplation to correct this office seeking pro-
pensity, the public display of it, which is rapid
ly growing to be such a monstrous evil though
what these plans are does not clearly appear
Probably President never went into office SO adj
miraby situated to correct abuses of this character
as Mr.. Pierce His nomination arose mainly
from the fact that he was pledged to no man or
set of men in the distribution of office, and we
suppose he has not since fallen into the hands of
the hungry crew, or allied hmselfto any factions.
We suppose him to be completely untramclled in
this matter, and consequently admirably situated
to lay down and carry out any plan, which would
correct the evils appertaining this Office seeking
business. Such reforms would require vast deal
ofcourage TO carry into effect but taking the word
of his friends, we should suppose Mr.. Pierce equal
to any emcrgcncy-nous roronS.

CITY AND HOME MATTERS.
Liquor Traffic in Kenosha.

| The number of licensed retail establishments in
this city is twenty-sx, and the amount received by
the City Treasurer from this source $3.50, an av-
erage OF about Sl4 for each license. The number
of unlicensed, is supposed to be or lO-making
IN all, 80 grog shops in Kenosha, and showing
respectable increase over last year. But notwith-
standing this increase in the number of establish
ments OF this character, it is believed that the
amount Of liquor imported into and sold in this To-
cality Is no greater if great as during the for
mer year.
1t Is proper to state in regard to the "unlcen-
sed, that had the City Authorities been duly sus-
tanned by the proper county officer, check would
ere this have been given 10 the 'illegal" traffic
AS soon as the new District Attorney enters upon
1he discharge of his duties renewed efforts it is ex-
pected will be made 10 enforce the law against
those who have violated and are still violating its
provisions, and it is hoped with better success.
Ten OF those who have taken licenses in this CITY
are Germans, ten Irish, three English and three
Americans
a remark here may not be inappropriate in re
gard to the abuse heaped upon the CITY Authori
ties for granting these licenses 1t strikes us that
the people should take portion of this censure to
themselves as from the known opinions of maio-
rity of those elected to constitute the CITY Conn
Gil, any other course than the one that has been
taken by that body could not have reasonably been
expected.

IMPORTANT RAIL ROAD MovEMENT.-A con-
vention of delegates representing the Rock River
Valley Rail Road and the Southern Wisconsin
Road, from GAINESVILLE to Dubuqc, met recently at
GAINESVILLE to consider matters of mutual import.
nnce. 1t is said the Directors of the Milwaukee
and Mississippi road were invited but neglected TO
attend and it is denied that they were invited at
all. At the meeting it was agreed that the south
ern road should be constructed with six foot track
the same as the valley road, and unite with that
road at GAINESVILLE, practically. The effect of this
will be, OF course, to turn all the trade west of
GAINESVILLE SOUTH at that point, and prevent its fin
ding the lake shore. II the object of the ATwau-
kce and Mississippi company in going down to
GAINESVILLE, was to form iunctionwit this south
ern road, and bring the trade of the west to Mil.
waukce, their object seems 10 have been defeated
\ very important matter, it strikes us to them.
This move makes more obvious what has all along
been plain enough to us viz that the interest OF
Milwaukee is i'll having the lake shore road con-
structed as soon as possible, and extending her
own roads north rather than south of west, into the
state. The idea of making any lake shore city a
depot of trade when there are railroads elsewhere
In the state connecting with the great eastern thor
oughfarcs these cities not so connected. seems
futile to us. Open a road through the state in the
valley of the Rock river, connecting with Chicago,
and trade will fall into that channel as water from
the hills seeks the valley, and will rush over it as
the swollen waters rush over the rivers bed. Then
Milwaukee must connect herself speedily with the
New York thoroughtareS, and throw out her
arms to embrace the section of country legitimate
ly belonging to her This will furnish a shorter
and consequently q cheaper route from the east to
most parts Of the state, and will command a large
of trade which will otherwise be lost to the
detriment if not ruin, Of the eastern part of the
state.

MIR. EDITOR:
The late concerts of the Baptist Choir, though
now forgotten by most of your readers were re-
newed TO the recollection of some by the amusing
criticisms which appeared in your neighbor Jour
mails, cloying from aattery in one, and showing
great amount of pretension and lack of knowledge
of music on the other; the first defeating its pur-
pose if kindly meant, the latter very much in the
style of Charles Lamb who, not pretending to anv
knowledge of music, desired by friend 10

cellence in the composers of the Italian, German,
and English Schools of music in answer TO which

Our readers, no less than ourselves, will feel
indebted to Capt. Rand, Clerk of the Board for
the valuable Statistics compiled by him, and pub
lishcd in to-day's issue. Retiring as the Captain
now is from the office which he has filled since the
organization of the County, we depart not a line
from the Strictcst truth in stating, that its duties
i'll all its varied departments have been admirably
performed by him. A more accurate and ncater
set of County Books, we apprehend, will not be
found in the State: And no one, probably, will
expect from his successors, more, than that the
work shall be carried out in future, as it has been
commenced by him' The County was fortunate
in the selection of its first Clerk. May it be not
less SO in his successors.

THE Ericsson SHIP-NEw MOTIVE PowER-
Notices of this new vessel, the new engine, and
the new power to move it, copied from New York
papers, will be found in paper of to-day. There
have been so many claimed discoveries of new mo-
tive power lately, which amount to nothing, that
we are disposed to receive such things with caution.
But this comes to so we'll authenticated that we
are not without confidence it may prove to be what
is hoped for it. Should it so prove, the merits of
the discovery are too apparent to need to be deS-
canted on, In importance, the discovery will have
been parallelled only by the original discovery of
steam as Il motive power According to the cx-
pertinent, SOME 60 TONS only of COAL will be requi-
red, to propel the vessel the Atlantic, not
less than 500, (and are not sure but twice as
much as we have no data at hand) being now re-
CURED for an ordinary steamer. Wonderful cheap
ness i'll transportation, greater security; and grea
ter comfort wherever steam is now used, are pro-
missed by this invention
We understand that gentlemen in the interest of
the lake marine are watching this invention, intcn-
ding, should it prove successful to introduce it at
once our inland seas.
