A SUCCESSFUL NEwspApER.-The cash
receipts of the New York Independent from
the first of January, 1853, to the 18th of
March, period of two months and half,
were $3.50. This is paper that derives
but a small proportion of its income from ad-
vertising, but chiefly on subscription. Eve

Y. Independent.
CHURCH EXTENSION FUND.-The effort to
raise $4,000 to aid in the erection of church
es in the west has been successful, the contribu-
tons so far as heard from, far exceed that sum-
Of this amount $4,000 will be appropriated
to Wisconsin, and given in sums not exceed
ing $500 to any one society.
The RAPpINGs,-Rev. DR.. Tying, an en-
inent clergyman of the Episcopal church. N.
Y. city, recently preached discourse to his
congregation on modern spiritual manifesto
lions. He solemnly declared it his belief
that these manifestations were of the Devil.
and warned his hearers against being led
away by the delusion.
The Western Christian Advocate saws
that it has in its possession a letter from a
distinguished clergyman, a long resident in
one of the Southern states, who has lust read

Legislative Caucus at Madison.

The Milwaukee Sentinel gives a pretty
full account of the proceedings of a caucus
of the democratic members of the Legisla-
ture, held for the purpose of making rec
concentrations at Washington for some of
the principle Offices. An attempt was
made to throw Don Juan Alonzo Upham out
of the Democratic party. Upham is can
didate for the office of u. S. District Attor-
ney. Senator Sharpstein of this city succee-
ded in obtaining the following endorsement:
"Resolved, That we recommend Hon. j. r.
Sharpstein for U. S. District Attorney, be-
lieving in his ability and democracy"
Upham has the recommendation of our
Congressional delegation at Washington, and
Sharpstein of the Legislature at Madison
we shall see which comes out ahead.

LIqUoR BILL DEFEATED.-The bill intro
dueed by Mr.. Sholes for aprohibitory liquor
law, was defeated in the Assembly on
Wednesday last, by a vote of 80 to So
This is certainly much better show of
strength for the law, than its friends general
ly anticipated in the present Legislature
The people must therefore for the present
turn their attention to the enlargement of
their prisons and poor houses, and wait the
coming of more favorable era in Legisla-
ton, to prevent the legalized causes of crime
and taxation.

week the Commercial Advertiser had
wondrous news to tell: this week we notice
little paper called the " Democrat" fires a
pop-gun, echoing what its neighbor the Com
mercial, said last week. Now in return for
all this we are disposed, as we intimated last
week, to render our neighbors any possible
good service We notice in paper pub

statements pregnant with hope and brilliant
expectations such as the following -" the
common council of this city has authorized

printed record, we are further willing to give
our noighbors the benefit of all the good re-
ports and rumours we hear such for instance
as the following The city of Racine will
loan its credit to the amount of a million if
necessary; the inhabitants along the road
are all in blaze Of enthusiasm; the farmers
are ready to mortgage their farms, horses, cat
tie and swine; the old ladies' along the road
are SO excited they cannot sleep o'night>;
they fancy all the time they hear the thun-

have become somewhat inflated by travel,
nevertheless it all goes to show that the Ra-
cine road is going on swimmingly.

TIE WAR IN WASHINGTON COUNTY
The expectations of the public of happy
radiance Of the Washington county troubles
are likely to be disappointed. The law of
the Legislature, recently passed, dividing the
county, has created great excitement and
open threatenings Of rebelious resistance
A special meeting of the board of supervi-
sors has recently been called, at which all
the disatfected towns were represented. These
supervisors resolve that they will treat the
law of the Legislature as unconstitutional and
void and that they will resist its provisions,
that the county officers will continue to exer-
Csc their duties the same as if no such law
had been passed. They instruct the sheriff
Of the county to serve no notices of elections
and they instruct the several towns of the
county to hold no elections in pursuance of
the law passed dividing the county.

ITALY-THE TERRoRs OF DEsPoTIsM-
HATRED TO MAzzIxI.-Mlan letters ofFcb-
ruary 9th, say that the Austrian authorities
believing that Mazzini was still in the city,
had taken the most rigorous measures to pre-
vent his escape, They even opened the cot
fins which were carried to the burial ground,
to assure themselves that he was not conceal
ed in one of them. The inhabitants are for
hidden to appear on the bastiohs after seven
o'clock in the evening. Orders were issued
to the honseholders to keep lamp burn
ing all night in every fourth house, from six
in the evening until daylight. In case of
disturbance, the household are to close their
DOORS and every man found in the street is
to be treated as concerned in the affray. BY
order of the comnandant, all the houses
were illuminated on the 10th, in rejoicing for
the Emperor's preservation.
German papers stated that arising was an
ticipated at Pesth, and fears were entertained
of an outbreak throughout Hungary. The
police of Pesth had arrested % travellers at
the Hotel d'Angleterre. The garrison of the
city is kept constantly under arms, and rea-
dy to act at a moments notice. Sentinels
are posted at all the gates, leading to tbs for
trcss of Buda, from which and other circum-
stances, it would appear that coup de main
is feared to liberate the prisoners.

xnsercssifia 20 the Tax Payers.

1t is now rendered quite certain that there will
be large deficiency in the State Treasury, to
meet the current expenses of the;year The rev.
enue desivable from direct taxek during the year,
is about 500, 900. It is estimated that the current
expenses, including the cost of the Impeachment
trial, will amount to Sl50,000.
1t appears, from the report of the finance
committee, that only seven counties in the State
have paid all their dues into the State Treasury ;
the balance of the counties are delinquent to an
amount of over SOS, 900. Milwaukee Co. alone,
is in arrears Sc, 900. Kenosha Co. is one of the
number which has paid up in full. In this condi-
ton of things the Finance Committee have intro
duced bill, authorizing the Governor to negot-
ate loan of $4,000 for five years. at seven per
cent interest 1t will be recollected that the Leg
islature, at the last session. obliged author
ize loan to meet the State Indebtedness. Now,
if the State is forced to make loan every
year, in addition to our high rate of taxation, to
meet the expenses of the government, it renders
our financial prospects somewhat forbiding. The
people, and especially the tax payers will very nat
uraly inquire, whether there is any avoidance to
our annual expenses so far exceeding our income
Most persons are probably at once ready to sug-
gest some theory, as remedial to this condition of
things: each man, has, doubtless, some peculiar
notion of his own, as to what ought TO be done.
We have our own peculiar views, and they, doubt
less, differ in some respects widely from other peo
Piles. Our suggestions are simply these First
give the people the Maine Liquor Law; Second
give the people a few general laws, to super
cecde the necessity of special laws for any corpo-
rate purposes; Third, abolish the collection laws
applicable to all individual contracts hereafter
made. Let this be done, aud the people can do
without another session of our State Legislature,
for at least five years to come.
