A short time since we copied from
some exchange doing a haphazardous bn-
siness in the way of coming news, a
statement that the Law Of the late Lee
gisla,are providing for biennial sessions
was given the slip by our State authori-

the constitution that all is right. We
do not know whether the law was pub
lished for three months before the latt
election-ofherwis the proposed amend.
lnent is on the straight track, as will be
seen from said article which We copy:

A letter directed TO this office, and
post marked, Hudson, Vas, -Nov. 10
reached Lancaster on 7th December
10 DAYS. Hudson is on the St. Croix
river, Wis, and is the county seat Of
ST. Croix County. St. Croix is new
county-but recently organized for ju-
dicial and county government. For some
time we have believed that the region
along the lower st. Croix river IS the
finest of all that large domain you see
ON The map Of North Western Wiscon'
sin. Persons residing at Hudson and
Point Douglass have told us so, surveyors
of the lands there told us so,and travellers
and lumber traders confirm the same
statements. 1t IS tinbered region
Perhaps the richest lumber domain in
the United States or Canadas are along
the upper St. Cfoix and its tributaries.
St. Croix aid Pierce Counties are well
tinbered. The soil is among the bes,
in all the west for wheat, and so is the
climate. There is plenty of snow all
winter, and it lies on the ground long
enough 10 save every spear Of winter
wheat over winter. As stock country
the St. Croix valley is said 10 excel any
other. The tallest grass, seen by SUR
yeyor, between the Mississippi and the
Lakes, grows here and of variety that
horses and cattle prefer to timothy or
clover.
Hudson is village of considerable
population and business, if we may
Judge from the Journal, its county news
paper. We always form our opinion
Of the people Of county and village
The extent Of their business, their taste
and generosity, and their intelligence

their county paper. The Journal has a
large advertising patronage, Sc, in small
type, and the circulation must also be
extensive. It is bombastically Demo-
cratic, else it would be one of the frs,
local papers in the state. A hot poiti-
Cal journal cannot be SO valuable as a
moderate one, for its infuenee is diyii.

weather, of rain. river. spring, and sea

employed for roofing, cisterns, baths,
gu,iers, pipes, window frames, telegraph

purposes. The inventor proposes TO
tin the surface of the iron in the usual
way, and then to plunge it into bath
of melted lead, or lead and tin, ard keep
it there, until the tin already on thei.
ron, combines with the lead or the alloy.
His claim is for the coating of iron Of
any kind, with an alloy OF lead and tin,
which alloy contains moderate, 5u:
not an exceedingly great, proportion Of
lea as compared with that of tin; or
with an alloy OF lead, tin, antimony, and

TIE Debts of Mexico.

Row IN CAN BE pAtD.-A Londo;
,corres rr3S;;iiaei,t Of the New York Cour-

corning The debt Of Mexico, which may
be new TO our readers. The dividends
on the State bonds are Is months in ar
rears, 10 the amount Of 845S,430 with
no prospect Of immediate liquidation
The bonds of the original debt Of Mexi-
CO contained clauses, distinctly pledging
500 acres OF land in the states of Cali
fornia, Teva>, chihuahua, Sonora and
New Mexico, for each 9l00 bond.
Part Of these very lands so specifically
pledged, now form a portion Of the ter
ritory Of the United States. The new
bonds have general pledge, only of the
revenue and resources oil the State. The
total foreign debt is 100000 OF
the $4,000. 900 received from the Uni
ted States, $2,500,000 was applied tt
the arrears OF interest on the foreign
debt but nothing in liquidation Of the
principal. The bond holders have sac
rificed $23,000,000 of their claims, in
the full belief that they would thus Sc
cure the regularity OF future payments.

gage, and do now possess Bonds repre-

could be negociated al nearly par, or ex-

words a new loan OF ct 800, 900 Ster.
ling per cent. would liquidate the for
reign debt OF Mexico, and give to her

Mexico would be a gamer by this
procedure; European capitalists would
