1.-THE communication on first page
by c. NJ. H. MEYER, miner at Wing
willie, is worthy the attention of miners
and mining companies. 1t is yet ques-
tionable whether the Lower Magnetism
rock contains large quantities of mineral
so that every new and correct idea Civ
ing new light, is being hunted up in or
der that opinions may be more correctly
formed as to the extent and depth Of
lead ore in our mines.

1--we have lately enquired of seve-
raj Smelters whether they pay out pa
per money for mineral, and whether any
miners would receive it if rendered.
They all answer no upon the first, but
upon the second say they believe some
miners would receive paper, though not
many. We believe every smelter in the
mines holds out firm against the use of
paper, so far as we can find out. When
1t is remembered that the annual amount
OF money paid out for lead within the
lead region of Wisconsin, is between one
and half and two millions OF dollars
all in gold, it must be inferred that our
currency cannot become either small in
quantity, or worthless in quality.

Yours truly, H. HURLBuRr,
Assessor for Plattevi

!
REMARKs.-This course should have
been adopted by Assessors in former
years. 1t is surprising how mems opin.
ions differ in respect to the value O.
lands (; in many instances there is over
100 per cent. difference. We think
they can easily adopt some basis to build
upon--some fixed mode of comparison
SO that property can be valued uniform
ly. It is found also, that some assess
|ers favor their particular towns, OF
particular property therein; for this {
remedy may be provided.
1t is well known that the equalization
committee failed last fall to report in ia
vor of any difference being made in the
values Of Town Assessors, valuations
whether the failure was caused by inca.
pacity of committee or from their con.
viction that all was right, nobody knows
Judging from the plumbers they made
the former was the cause-two specia
acts of the Legislature being required te
rectify their blunders.
We hope every Assessor in the coun.
ty will favor Mr.. HURLBuRr's sue.
Igestion, and that a full meeting viii
be had at the time and place he
names. All we have heard say anything
about it, are convinced of its Importance
AS matter of economy TO the county
we believe it is of the first Importance.

The situation is favorable for an extensive
machinery business. We are surprised that
such choice location should be left SO long
unimproyed and almost unnoticed. The finest
roads lead,in various directions into farm ana
village neighborhoods. There is no rival IN
bounds of 20 miles, nor is there likely to be.
Platte River, passing through it, is quite
powerful stream, rising some 10 or II miles a
boye from large springs, and flowing at such
rapid stage that the water remains pure as
spring water There is an exhaustless amount
of timber near by, and of every kind needed
by machinists.
The place, quite village, contains sa"
and grist mill, post-office, tri-weeky mail
store, excellent school-house, tavern, and sew
eral dwellings. The location is upon one of TN
most extensively travelled roads in Western
Wisconsin. The farm lands are unsurpassed

Mr. that the President might here
after control Legislative action this subject it GER
tainy advisable possible that some should be
framed which while perhaps might pass Congress- would
not conflict with his views to the constitutional powers
of the Government.
Mr. BADGER had been in favor Of the reference to a
standing committee, but since the present discussion,
would favor a select committee Every committee
ed to be seeking it, and in the distribution of the bus
Of the Senate among its important committees gen.
tlemen had rather sefshy overlooked that of which he
was member; he meant the Committee on Retrench-
ment.
Mr.. CHASE presumed that the only reason why the
Senator thought this bill should go the Committee
Retrencbment was that the committee had nothing do

mttee had been industrously and aboriousy engaged

peared in his seat to-day.
VERMONT
Mr. SEWARD called up the resolution submitted by
him yesterday respecting the seat of Of the Senators
from Vermont
Mr. FOOT addressed the Senate briefly, declaring the
subject of too much importance to be trusted to
random discussion of the Senate without the invesga-
ton of proper committee and expressing the hope that
the resolution might be adopted He thought
involving complex questions of constitutional lava
involving important and personal Staerghts priv-
eges 1t eminently entitled to the consderate and
patient investigation of the Judiciary Committee; and
when their report should bo laid before them they would be
better prepared to form correct conclusion the ques
tons involved.
Mr. BADGER concurred with the Senator from ver-
mont in the proprety of adopting the resolution which
he thought the general of the Senate He
not then prepared deliver any opinion of his he
had yet examined the in all its bearings yet he

ion were strong and clear against the right of the Sena
tor to continue his seat. Mr.. 3. compimentcd Mr.
PHELPS his profound requirements lawyer, and

Senate, he for one would be glad to hear them.
After q few remarks from Mr.. BUTLER, also highly
complimentng Mr.. PHELpss services member Of the
Judiciary Committee he desired be understood that his
remarks yesterday were made in any spirit of oppos
rights.
