A CLAIk rather novel in character, and in.
volving the title of property worth two or three
hundred thousand dollars, has lately been pre-
sented to the Legislature. The lands in question
are situated in Washington county, and were
owned by the father of David Jones, the claimant,
during the Revolution. The elder Jones was
charged with adhering to the cause of the enemies
of the State. and in July, 1883, decree of corfs
cation was issued against bis property by the Leg
islature. In accordance with this decree twenty
one hundred acres of land were sold by the State,
and twelve hundred acres remain unsold, which it
has been supposed were owned by the State
David Jones now claims this twelve hundred acres
OF land, and compensation for the twenty. one hun.
dred acres which were sold by the State, on the
ground that decree of con6scaton was not declared
until after the "Jay treaty" of 1883 was formed,
and that by the provisions of that treaty his fathers
right to the property in question was guaranteed
by the Government. The petition of Mr.. Jones
was, few days ago, referred to the Attorney
General, by the Assembly, with instructions to
report the facts to the next Legislature, should be

NORTHERN WIscoNsIN-Ihe Lumber Depot of The
West-In these days, when every village in the
West Is looking forward, with more or less assur-
ance, to the time when 1t shall hav become LARGE
town or city, 1t very naturally TO us whence
is the material for all this building to come?
The pralries and openings of Southern Wiscou-
sin furnish very little material for framed build
ngs, and the vast praries or sgardens'' OF Illinois
destitute OF any thing like lumber though rich in
every thing else, are all to be covered with farm
houses, dotted with villages, and bordered with
cities. That lumber, so abundant in Northern
Wisconsin, shoold command such enormous prices
in our markets, IL certainly an unfavorable as well
as an unnecessary state of things. Some ninety
millions feet of lumber, of superior quality soft
a AM: clear, are annually manufactured north of
Winneoago Portage, in the country contiguous to
the Fox and Wisconsin rivers despite the uncer
talnty and risk now attending the business A
spring without high water, or with too much
freshet, leaves that lumber, earnestly demanded
in the West, lying useless perhaps, rendering in
operative for twelvemonth the entire canita and
| resources of him who has endured lone priva tion
and severest toll to get it out ready to be oated TO
market
The East is absorbing Michigan AIeeanv. and
other eastern lumber, which is growing steadily
scarcer and higher; and the natural resort of the
Great West must be to the pineres of Wisconsin,
st. Louis and Chicago might be supplied with
lumber of superior quality, at rates reduced from
the present If the energy, influence and capital of
some portions of the West could be barmonized
and concentrated in the construction of some one
road. Leading up from Chicago through the heart
of this State and Portage city, to the prairies of
| the north. The lumber trade alone would support
| such road, for its existence would enable Wis
cousin lumbermen to ship lumber at all times at
| rates which would control the markets, and thus
give accelerated impulse to their business and per-
| manent freight to the road.
About ninety millions feet lumber is now out
yearly. The business is increasing rapidly, and
oe1ore the beloit and Madison road reaches Por-
tage city, will be doubI d. The carriage of hi.
amount of lumber (say one hundred and eighty
millions feet.) at five dollars per thousand feet,
would amount to nine hundred thousand dollars
af1ordlng constant and profitable business TO this
and all other roads in distributing il throughout

FROM the Tribune.
We beg our readers to understand thst NE sre
not astonished by this new turn of the wheel. and
shall not be If 1t turns back to-day and puts the
Barnburners and Softs ahead again. Yet the fact
that the nominations have gone to the Senate and
been ia part ground out. will render any further
vacillation on his part difficult, however the Presi
dent may wish to see-saw. We now presume the
above cast will stand, though the contrary is by
no means impossible.
General Pierce's sssober - thought''-not the
second, by any means, but the eleventh thir.
teenth--is an improvement that which preced-
ed it. 1t was right for him to give the Hardshells
fair shake and this does it, while the former ut
terly cruciied them. With Dickinson in the Gus.
tom-house and O'Conor district attorney, they can
hoe very respectable row, and Governor Marcy's
Presidential aspirations are pretty etectuaily
checkmated.
Dickinson will take care of his friends, and all
the Barnburners and active Softs he appoints to
subordinate stations could be seated in moder-
ate sized omnibus. Beside him and N'Conor, the
residue are Softs, except Gen. Dix, lHarnburner,l
who( we think will not accept, and John Cochrans.
Dix's friends expected full mission for him, and
certainly the sub-Treasury 10 coming pretty well
down for one who 90 lately and confidently expect
ed high seat in the Cabinet

Tho Thirty Second Congress-.

TIE thirty second Congrers of the Republic clo.ed
its second Session the 4tl inst., having been to-
gctlrr tie expense Of Uncle Sans purse for about
four months. During that time little more HaS done
than the letting of Of few prelnsive fashrs with
one two really big guns, npun national poc.
For the res sparrng and spn,ing upon minor p,inls
rf minor bills served the time. After all,
hut few more bills were passed than such were
absolutely necessary TO keep the wheels Of Govern
meut going.-Tc civil and diplomatic Bill, before it's
final rr.ssrgc was amended as to give the Vice
President and the Heads Of the Departments salaries
of eight thousand lollars Instead Of five ut pre-
scni.-Such provisions were made for publ,ling
and binding Public Documents &C., TO re,ult III
giving each member Of the Thirty Second Congress
ab0u, one thousand dollars worth of volumes the

appropriated towards the Charleston Custom House.
Twenty thousand dollars We're voted to CLARK
MILLS for his equestrian statue of JACHsoS.-A Mr.
WrGG, of South Carolina, allowed compen,a.
ton for losses sustained during the Revolutionary
War His claim. interest and all, amounts to
two hundred thousand dollars.-Sune few other pri.
yate bills were passed. But hundreds were not
reached. Perhaps many Of them ought never to be.
We have strong objections, not to thu little Congress
docs but to its taking so long to do that little.

Spirit Rappines.

THIS singular delrsion is gaining believers every
day. We observe in the papers that old lady and
her daughters have been recently holding forth in
Washington City to the astonishment of the numer.
GUS strangers ut present congegated at that point.
Many are convinced that there is q reality in the mat

Major however acknowledges that tho revelations
nre astounding and inexficabIc to his mind Rather
the strongest evidence have seen of the reality of
le rapmngs is a letter recently published III the
Southern Buptist from the Rev. Mr.. IETER on this
subject. Mr.. JErEE is considered one OF The most
strong. minded men in the Baptist Denomination. lie
has examined this subject scrutnsfngly to expose its

conclusion that there is mystery connected with
it which can only be explained by the agency of SUI

they give about the other world is not to be relied on
