DIED

In Kenosha, Dec. goth, 1853, WILLIAM w.
TRADEwEIL, aged rs years, 5 months, and 0
days.
1t is painful to the dying leave weeping
friends to mourn their loss but glorious to realize
in death Il birth into the Spirit World, and feel
that death has lost its sting and the grave obtains
no victory.
In this City, on the evening of the l4th instant,
Mrs. CHARLOTTE LILLAs PIKE. in her 29th year,
wife of Mr. J. w. Pike, and Youngest daughter of
Mr.. Benjamin p. Cahoon Her death was mark

c. The Madison Democrat says that the names
of some prominent Coalitiomists are on Mr.. Den
mis- official bond, MS Bank Comptroller, and that
the Coalitionists are generally admitting that the
Democratic functionarics, after all, will make
good officers.
With the exception of two on the ticket, (and
we shall be glad to have our fears falsfcd with
reference to them) we have no recollection of hav-
ing pcnned any thing during the late campaign,
intmating any personal unftness on the part of
the Democratic Nominees for the places they now
hold. Our opposition to the ticket was more broad
and general. With reference to Mr.. Dennis, we
know him well, and had not, during the campaign,
and have not now, the least apprehension but he
will perform the duties to which he has been cal
led TO the satisfaction of the whole State If onr
name were worth anything, we would as willingly
put it on Mr. Dennis bond as that of any other
man in the State with whom are acquainted.
We think a very bad political influence is trium-
plant in the success of the present incumbens
and for that reason opposed them but think, also,
they will generally perform the duties Of their pla-
ees, as well as any others who might have been
chosen.

Northumberland.

Mr.. Watson, in writing to the Sentinel from
Madison, on Saturday last, has the following
Mr.. Hale, of kenosha, introduced this
morning a resolution providing for an adjourn
ment on the Is of February. All very we'll
and very creditable to Mr. Hale, but, as l said
before, there is an overfowing treasury, and
the probability IS fhat the Legislature will
feel it to be duty 10 use up the surplus.
Mr. Hale desers credit for moving thus
early in the matter. This is one of the years
when there is but little for the Legislature
to do, in which case it should soon adjourn.

/" The editor of the Telegraph has notwcl con-
sidered the capacities of canal boats and rail road
cars. One thousand canal boats of $50 tons each
may pass down the enlarged canal without inter
ruption detention, except in lockages, while the
same freight would occupy %, 0O0 of the lar
gest class and require the service of 600 locomo-
tves. The cost of Transporting corn and wheat,
from Buffalo to Albany, by canal, after the en-
largemcnt, will range from to 10 cents per bush
ell, BY railroad it could not cost less than II to
IA cents the cheapest scale known"
So says the Chicago Tribune in reply to para
graph of ours suggesting freight railroad through
New York, instead of an enlargement of the Erie
Canal. We did speak without any great amount
of thought on the subject, and probably the Iri-
buae is right but nevertheless we think the time
will come when the whole business of the country
will be done by railroads

GIVE have nothing later with reference TO the
steam ship San Francisco than is contained in the
telegraph news on the outside of the paper. That
account is somewhat confused and Indefinite. AS
near as we can gather, we conclude that many
passengers washed overheard and lost, that
various vessels took off the survivors, and the
steamer was abandoned to the GOOD of storms,
the lightning and the gale.

The Chances for Prohibitory Liquor Law

1t appears to be generally conceded that the
chance for the expression of the people last fall,
with reference to a Prohibitory Liquor Law, find
ing fruition with this Legislature, is exceedingly
slim. What follows, we cut from the correspon-
dcnce of the Milwaukee Sentinel. Other writers
do not set the number of friends to the measure
quite so high. With reference to Rcymert's bill,
we are quite Mr.. Rcymert is not a friend to
the measure, and his early zeal in the premises,
renders it pretty certain that cat will be found
under that pile of meal
In Senate, this morning, Mr.. Reymer, Of
Waukesha Co., introduced bill for Pro
hibitory Liquor Law. | find upon inquiry
among the leading temperance men, that the
movement Is looked upon with suspicion by
them. They say that Mr.. r. is not real
friend of such a law, and that it looks very
much as if its opponents had taken the inita-
tive, and intended to pass an obnoxious law
and let the temperance men defeat it in the
other House. In Assembly there are of the
SO members, 46 known friends of stringent
prohibitory law, though there are conflicting
opinions among them as to the precise pro
visions of such a law. One thing is certain
that what is known as the "Maine Law
will not be enacted, in its integrity. Perhaps
l ought to say will not be passed By the House
for | regard it as almost certain that no law
which will suit the anti-liquor men can pass
the Senate. 1t looks very much as it, after
good deal Of time wasted, the fight for and
against a prohibitory law will have to be re
newed next fall. How politicians will like
that, / cannot say.

ter in the choice of Speaker than it has AT all
events the Maine Law could not have more vio-
lent opponent than it has in the person of HORN.
And the fact that the caucus dictation compelled
Maine Law Democrats into his support, convin-
ces us still more strongly that our of that party
can come no good for the people on this question,
Horn is said to have been the admission candi-
date, which we think is very probable.

iect was to break up the Administration, and made
quite long speech, of which there seemed to be
nothing but to strengthen a Wing organization.
Mach desuory talk followed but the leading Wings
seemed TO care nothing at all about the Prohibitory
Liquor Law, and were bent wholly on what would
best assist the reorganization of their Party while
the Prohbtory Law Wings, of which there are
good many, seemed TO care very little for this
The result was no definite agreement on anything.
Finally vote was passed for the Prohibitory Law
friends to vote for Mr. Orion.
When the vote for Speaker was taken, Horn
had As, Orion p, and the rest scattering. Orion
himself voted for Horn. What comment this
upon the whole proceeding. An effort making by
his friends TO get all Prohibitory Law to vote
for him, and he to turn round and vote for Horn !!
The Wings certainly deserve much credit
great many voted for Horn who last night
were loud in saying they would support him under
no consideration They now give as an excuse
for voting for him that he has promised to sustain
their local matters, and to appoint certain COM
mittees so and so. Already they are beginning
TO fear they have been sold, and the murmurs are
becoming loud. And it is really laughable to lis
ten to the complaints making. With an indgna.
ton quite ludicrous, considering that they voted
for him from unworthy motives, they now are be-
ginning TO denounce him because he is like to find
it to his interest to violate his promises. More
will be heard to-mouow.-D

A trip to Madison.


We have just returned from a trip to Madison
where we went to look on the assembling of the
Legislators and see the sights generally.
We found excellent roads and had a most plea
SAINT time.
The City was full-full to OVERLOOKING. Every
body seemed TO be there, and almost every body
and we do not know but quite-seemcd to want
something fat out of the State.
OF the doings of the functionaries of the Govern
ment, we do not propose here to make any remarks.
The Capital is rapidly improving. The new blocks
which have been building the past season are fin
ished, and the city presents entirely another and
infinitely better appearance
Mr.. FarwelPs new block is building inferior
to none in the country, and would do honor to any
city in the world.
Our friend of the State Journal, Col. Atwood,
has removed his printing office to the fourth story
and from survey of it, we can say it is the vay
best room for that purpose it ever our fortune
to visit.
The Journal Is decidedly liberal, progressive
paper, one which we always pick up with interest,
and the Colonel is deserving of the good will OF
all his acquaintance. And without doing him any
injustice, we must say that the connection of Mr..
Rublce, assistant editor has added to the inter
est of the paper.
We say this good word for the Journal, because
we like the paper because like the Colonel, and
because it is true But we cannot refrain in this
connection, from relating a little anccdote, for
which the Colonel will pardon us.
The ,Jouraai was suspended for four or five days
while the materials were removing. into the new
room in Farwell's Block. In speaking of the Ma
olson Papers, subscriber said they needed pa
per there which would wake people up, and let
them know paper was printed there and to il
lustrate the necessity, said he would bet he could
start out and find toeatgtice who took the Journal
who did not know it had been suspended, or that
the Office had been removed Some one thinking
this too hard, he proceeded, and the first half
dozen he called on, knew nothing of the matter
The Capital House is really a superb hotel, and
one the place has long needed. Its dining room
will seat nearly one hundred, and it has some
eighty odd rooms, all large, high, well ventilated,
and superiority furnished.
New stores, new life, and increased business,
present themselves, showing that Madison will be
one of the most important cities of our STATED.
