wolves! Wolves!! wolves II

EDS TRIBUNE AND TELEGRAPn:-
Some two weeks since the inhabitants Of
Bristoland Paris were alarmed by the pres.
ence oftwo montrous prairie wolves, prowl-
ing about the neighborhood of Jackson's
and buttons hotels. Sheep were nightly
enclosed in places OF safely, and children
were kept within hailing distance of their
watchful parents. Every old musket in the
vicinity was inspected, and charged with
missiles Of death. Every old and crippled
hunter forgetting his infrmities "stood up
right" and walked 'man- like" to the scene
of carnage. From day to day the cunning
wolves eluded the infiction of their blazing
vengeance. But ''there is time appointed
for all Evolves to die and then comes the
Judgment" On the morning of the end
Ast., runners again announced the reap
pcaranee of the wolves. The minute men
again marshaled their ces-horse-foot
and dragoon. The rallied and allied-were
soon on the march, over hill and dale. thro'
rivers and ravines. Yet the crafty wolves
oa!Fanked their pursurers Vocal music
was struck up by the chow WOW" band of
the canine regiment which rushed down
upon the wolves in lcgions.
The wolves wearied with excessive and
and constant exertien began to falter. The
dogs neared and closed in with them-a
desperate struggle ensued-the hunters re-
doubled their velocity, but before they came
up the wolves had disengaged themselves
from the dogs and fed Again and again
they were overhauled, again and again they
escaped from the terrible conflict. But the
dreadful hour had now arriyed-it was
nearly sunset. Two hunters stood upon
an emnence to which the wolves were APP
preaching. They raised their muskets.-
They took deliberate aim. A mighty
roar was heard mingled with screams and
yells which would have frightened the en-
furiated demons of the bottomless pit. Ore
of the wolves had fallen and wasrolino and
in intense agony. One hunter
after another came up until all had assem-
bled. They turned over and over their
vlctim-they surveyed his gigantic proper
tions-they took his dimeHtions, and with
pride and exultation they enumerated the
wounds which they had inflicted. Then
came the judgment-and the Judgment was
that instead of killing woLf, they had kill
ed harmless deg, belonging to one of their
neighbors.

The Southern Visions r. r,

There is bill in the Legislature which
proposes to extend the charter of the Mil
waukee & Mississippi Railroad across the
southern part of the State TO the Mississippi,
on the ground now occupied by the South
ern Wis. r. r. Co. This is understood to
be with the consent Of the latter company,
and the object is, TO get the work into the
hands of new Company, so as to shirk and
avoid theresponsibilitie and contracts, made
by the old one. Among its contracts, is one
with the Kenosha & Beloit Road, condition.
ed for drawing the cars the Kenosha road
over its track, at a price agreed upon. Our
friends at Madison have spared no effort to
get provision into the bill alluded to, pro-
viding for the performance of this contract
by the new company, but as vet have been
unsuccessful. A person would suppose that
a request so just and reasonable, would not
only be at once complied with by tn legis-
lature, but that the NJ. &M. Co. would, with
out Legislative compulsion, agree to it. But
the purpose of that company is to avoid just
such contracts. and all the strength they
can bring to bear, is used IN the legislature
10 carry out their purpose. In the Senate,
they have been successful, for they weld
there, an influence which is abundant to car
ry any project which they may desire; and
they pushed the matter thro' despite the ac-
tive efforts of our representative, DR.. Pad
dock, aided by the few friends, who, not
under the immediate influence of tie road,
were in situation to aid to do Justice.
What will be the result in the Assembly,
we cannot tell. II the measure finally gets
thro' in its present shape, it will simply be
significant thai in railroad matters, the state
is owned by the Milwaukee d. Mississippi
company, and other companies can make
their arrangements accordingly.
P.S. Since writing the above. we notice
that this bill has been reported in the AS
sembly, where it was referred to the Rail-
road Committee, with instructions to report
on Friday.

Ha0e '0e a democratic Party among us?
This is becoming a practical and serious
question. There are ostensibly IA demo-
cratic members in oul present legislature,
but the test shows thatthis fair outside show
of members is very deceptive. Forinstance
on the grave and important question of u.
s. Senator, no less than 80 out of these Al
members voted for candidate who not on
ly opposed the election of the present Dem
ocratic President, butwas absolutely can
didate for Elector on the Hale and Julian
ticket. Only fire Democrats appeared on
the test, and of these FIVE We are inclined to
think that at least three of them bolted the
candidate on other considerations than those
of political character, leaving but t,co ge-
uuine Democrats in the whole body. We
can see no consolation in this for our Dem
oeratic brethren except the fact, that small
as they are in the legislature, they yet num-
Der just twice as many as their ancient enc
my, the Wings, who boast of but one mem
Der in the v hole body. Verify, If we have
a Democratic party among US ii is very con-
veniently small.

IeCislatiUe

We find nothing of very great general
interest among the legislative proceedings.
Various resolutions of inquiry addressed
to the Governor ard other Of the State De-
partments, have been introduced and pass
ed, the object being to discover if any cause
exists for the many random charges made
against the state administration. Appro-
pirate committees have the matter in hand
and we shall learn in due season whether
the devil is really as black as he has been
painted
The subject OF a prohibitory LIQUOR law
has been referred in the Assembly to a spe-
clal committee, consisting of Lee, Randall
Vllet, WEIGH and Stevens.
A bill has been introduced by Mr.. Bond,
OF Waukesha, repeating the Rail Road tax
law of last winter.
BY Mr. Topliff, repeating the bill relative
to registry Of marriages.
Church property.
The Judiciary Committee in the Assem-
bly,, reported that the removal OF Professor
Daniels by Gov. Barstow, was illegal, and
accompanied the report with bill authar-
izing him to proceed in the geological sur
vey of the State.
Nineteen twentieths ofthe business Of the
legislature is purely local in its character,
scarcely any importance 10 any person. If
Legislation could be confined to general sub
jects, as contemplated by the constitution,
it would puzzle members to use up thirty
days, in making their session. But the
people will rush In business, and will insist
on its being attended to, and theirs is the
fault IN great measure.

EBe The London Times in leading ar
ticle draws most deplorable picture of the
army in the Crimea:
At the beginning of January, it could
muster only $4,000 bayonets, the artillery
and engineers had been reduced in the same
proportion, and the cavalry no longer exist
ed as force. The deaths amounted to
60 day, and the number disabled by ia
tigue and sickness to 200 a week.
This ratio, the Times thinks, will proba-
bly, increase. It is computed that out of
$4,000 men nominally fit for service, only
1000 are in good health. The army was
an army of invalids at the beginning thet
month, although the Crimea winter had not
set in.
The Times comes to the conclusion that,
"unless some extraordinary stroke of for
tune intervenes, we are about 20 lose our
whole army, the object of SO much pride,
of so much deep affection, of SO much ten
der solicitude, and asks if the nation is pre-
pared for this disaster?"

CARE OF HoRsEs.-Horses should be kept
in warm but ventilated stables. Every horse
should have his blanket on at night; an old
piece of rag carpet will answer good pur-
pose when you are not disposed to incur
the expense of regular horse blanket.
At any rate have covering of some kind
for your horses at night, and use the curry
comb freely by day, and with ordinary at
tention to his other wants, you will have
the services of a good horse for twenty or
twenty-five years, instead of eight or ten,
as is generally the case.

~It is very natural ,bot ,ha ,ri,wor

Felt is very natural that the Milwau-
kee News and Wisconsin should seek to
create jealousies in the Republican party by
lntlmatlng want Of fidelity on the part OF
the Sentinel and its friends to Mr.. Durkee,
the caucus nominee of the Republican party
for Senator. But so far as the Mcts are con
cerned, it is within our personal knowledge
that the Tntlmation is without the slightest
foundation. MIR. Durkee had no warmer
or more Jealous friends after his nomina-
ton, than was the Sentinel and its friends,
and to them IS he very largely indebted for
success.

JUSTICE SMITu's OPINION,

On this last application for discharge
from imprisonment, is more able and impor-
tant than his first opinion. He denies the
appellate jurisdiction of the United States
Supreme Court to review and reverse the
decision of the Supreme Court of this State.
This, now, is the great point to be maintain
ed. 1t is essential to the sovereignty of the
State, and the safety of tie citizen. For il
the United States Supreme Court may an
nulthe decision of our State Supreme Court,
our sovereignty is a sham, and our citizens
have no protection against the encroach-
ments of the Federal Government no bar
rier against Federal Capitalization and con-
solidation. We commend the reasoning of
Justice Smith to the careful consideration
of every citizen. 1t is the true doctrine,
and is vital to the freedom of the people of
the States and tie perpetuity of our Repub-
tic.
We feel proud of Wisconsin, and rejoice
in the decision of the Supreme Court, and
especially in the opinion of Justice Smith.
We wait with some interest TO see what
the United States will do next
