The purpose of tho extra session was mainly, 10
receive the report of committee appon'edto M
vestgate into the peeuniary affairs OF tae o'ale,-
Besides that committee, one was also appointed 10
;nestga+ matters connected with the Fox ana " a.
sonsin river improvements and another INTO the
frauds oflast election which committee suppose
will report on this occasion.
sinca tbe adjournment last spring, however, Con
ores. fsde grants to the state,of large amounts of
land - construct rail roads and those grants being
nut a. the disposition of tho legislature, that qaes
ton very naturally looms up above ali Others, and
becomes by all odds, the prominent leata.e q the
* ia session.
Tie grant centemplates two rail roads--one rom
ia i. X, or Columbus TO Portage city, thence TO
lake ST Croix the Mississippi, and thence to lake
Superior; and another from Fond du Lac north, to
the State line, ,meaning, suppose, the Michigan
State lne and embraces Six solid miles III width OF
Land along the proposed routes with the privilege
of n strip 30 miles in width, from which to select
lands in lieu of those already taken up on the route
Ofcourse this donation has aroused the cupdty
of tie hosts of men in The State, who are always on
tho hook ut for speculaons and has stimulated tie
many railroad companies in the State already char
tered any place in the neighborhood Of the grant in
% astrife for its possession, interest ia iand
by all thesemen and interests is the legislature
beseged.
What viii be the upshot Of the whole matter it is
quite impossible now TO guess. A committee Of sew
en- on tile part ofthe Senate and thirteen the part
oftAe House has beca appointed to take the matter
into consideration and reporf bill OF bills organic
ng companies for the construction Of the roads and
putting into !heir hands so lands donated for the
purpose. The probabilities are that two new com
punes independent Of all previous companies or in
forests, will be Incorporated And think from the
ceiling which peryadcs the Legislature thai case Will
be exercised in organizing these companies, that the
objects of The grtnt shall be complied with to tie full
est extent aud the general interests of the Stale sub
served in the highest degree.
The investigating committee viii report next week,

amounted to little, aud have read ofono particular

fl should give credit to everything l hear, ]
should conclude that The donss d some members Of
the inv estigatng committee would warrant the ap-
poiutmcnt of another committee to see particularly
what they have been about.
The apportionment bill has been up aud there
seems to be disposition to press through bill to
district anew the State at this session. One of two
things must happen to Kenosha county in new APP
portionmcnt She must either take on a portion of
Waworth county TO make up Senate district, OF
submit to aIoss OF one representative in the Assem-
oly. The former, think, would be tie better ar
rangenent, ifWalworth viii consent to it.
The Legislature has indicated, ty decided vote
in both houses, that it will act new business Of
q local or private nature at this session.
The Governors message, presume viii be Civ
en- to your readers this week It is appropriate
aud good document, as viii he readily seen. That
part in relation TO Kansas was referred to a select
committee in the Senate, Of which tho Senator from
Kcnosha is chairman. There is no question of one
ching and that is, that the full power oc the State up
to its constitutional limits should be used to protect
citizens Of the State in The cases mentioned by the
Governor The C. S. government is either unable
or unwilling to do it, and there seems 10 lie nothing
left. but to oppose the "border rutliansm" OF the

state Of Wisconsin, ard test fairly which is to til

I may add that It is found on the ra-assembling Of
the members that the Democratic majority OF zen
