VALUE OF THE PUBLIC WORKS.
Mott in a Tiphf Place.

There seems to be some difference between
a Canal Commissioner when under common
and an uncommon oath, as it appears that
Mr.. Mott President of the Canal Board. in
his petition to the Supreme Court respecting
the sale of the Main Line of the Public
Works, states, upon his oath, that
The canals aforesaid are 2S3 miles in
length, requiring heavy expenditures
for repairs and expenses, and hare not TOR
many gears yielded income sufficient to pay
the cost Of keeping them in narigadle order"
Notwithstanding this hard swearing, Mr..
Mott last year reported to the Legislature
that the receipts of the canals proposed to be
sold were as fOlows-see Canal Commission

yesterday, $50 beeves were sold, at prices
ranging from 10 to l23. The market closed
dull, with prices tending downward. There
was an abundance of sheep, but very little
activity in the market; about 5000 were sold

at from $40 to 60; middlings, at 20(G30; dry
cows, from Sl5 to 25. The tendency of all

old fashioned prices.

From the Superior Chronicle Of Oct. 2sd.)


On Thursday evening last, Col. Rob.
ert Patten, Chief Engineer of the St.
Croix and Lake Superior Railroad; r
Il. Gregory, ESQ.,, Assistant Engineer;
John Jones, Esq, agent for contractors:
and Messrs Fields and Elliot, of Penn
sylvania, arrived from Hudson. Col.
Pattcn will remain with us for a few
days, and till operations on this end of
the route shall have been commenced
He will then visit Bayfield,, from which
place he returns to Hudson.
John Jones, Esq, is the general agent
for Messrs. Dillen, Jackman, Jarrett &
Co., the contractors. He is busily en-
ployed in organizing his forces to COM
mence operations the first of January
The work of cutting out the line of rail-
road, and improving it to be used next
season as wagon road; and the con-
struction of permanent docks on the de-
pot grounds of the railroad company. at
the mouth of Nemodji river, win be com
mcneed on that day.
Teams are now engaged in distribu-
ting supplies, for the prosecution of the
work next summer, at the station on the
mineral range and at Black River. The
most important work, and to which par
ticular attention will be given, is at the
crossing of the St. Croix. The bridge
at that place will be an extensive and
substantial structure. The crossing of
the mineral range, no less important,
will also receive especial attention.
As large force as can be procured
will be employed this winter; and after
the opening navigation we may expect
to see from fifteen hundred to two thou
sand men at work on the road. We I'M
derstand that highly favorable proposals
for the bonds of the st. Croix and Lake
Superior Railroad Company have been
received, which gives us increased as
surances of the speedy completion of
this portion Of the road.

of reputation be submitted to the peo-
pie. No transfer of stock has been made
since the decision. The people are OPP
posed to repudiating, and meetings have

ion. AT meeting held in SanFrancis-

t Correspondence OF the N. Y. Tribu ne
From Washington.

$3.50 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.
The ef-constituted leaders of the
South are by no means satisfied with Mr.
Buchanan's programme, so far as it is
understood or indicated OF the men
named, not one is regarded as strictly
identified with the dominant sentiment.
Cobb of Georgia, it is true, is accepted
of Stephens and his interest, but not as
a representative man. They had ante
cedents together few years ago, and it
might not be convenient to separate now.
But Floyd, Ben amin, Rusk and that class
do not answer the high-seasoned exac-
tons of the fire eating gentry. They
have said as much to Mr.. Buchanan by
word of mouth and by letter, and they
mean to repeat the protests when he ap-
pears here a month hence. Nor are
some of the selections from the Free
States more palatable. For example, tbs
preference of Clifford over Toucey is es-
pecially condemned, not only because
the latter is admitted to be the superior
of the former but because lie has made
Sacrifices for the South" They forget
he has an eye upon q foreign mission,
and will probably have his foot in it be-
fore many moons roll over his head. If
this principle of rewarding doughfaceS
be adopted as rule of patronage, Mr..
Buchanan will discover that his pension
roll will soon assume sectional shape.
In about fourteen States there are vic
TINS enough for catalogue as long as
the moral law.

Our State Legislature.

This body convened at Madison yes
terday. 1t is composed of many good
and sterling men, on anayerage, we think
better than We have been in the habit OF
sending to Madison, heretofore, and, as
a consequence, we shall expect more OF
them than usual-wiser and better, as
well as less legislation-more economy
both Of time and money, and at leastone
step towards reform and retrenchment.
We are not of those who are forever cry
ing out against government expenditure;
nor do we believe in a niggardly and
lparsimonious course in the administra-
ton of affairs, but the needless and heed
less extravaganza hathas characterized
for two or three years past, both the law
making and law executing powers of our
State, deserves rebuke, and needs re-
form.
This is the first thorough Republican
Legislature.that Wisconsin has ever had,
and we do hope that it viii set an exam
ample for future Legislatures, and prove
that Republican professions are not pro-
fessi0ns only. We hope to see an active,
earnest and short session, in which all
that is actually needed for the public Ia
.terest, shall be well and quickly done, and
the balance, which has usually occupied
the greater part of the time of our Leg
islator, let alone. 1t is half the qualifi-
cation requisite for a good member of
the Legislature to know what to do, and
we hope there is an increased amount of
this J1ind of knowledge in the present
body. They have the light of expert
ence before them, as guide to what not
to do, and conscientious desire to
promote the interests of their constitu-
ents and of the State, viii be a sufficient
guide to what they should do.
Among the first duties of the Legisla-
trre, will be the election of U. S. Sena-
tor. There are several candidates in
the field, and each has his friends and
supporters. Either of these, we pre-
sumo, is qualified and would well repre-
sent Wisconsin in the National Legisla-
ture. The Republican strength in the
Legislature is such as to enable them to
elect their candidate at once, if they but
unite as they should do, upon the best
man. We, like others have our choice
among the names that have been men
toned for the office, but we shall be sat
isfed if thorough, and reliable Repub-
liean be elected. This we believe will
be done, and in that belief we are con-
tent to await the result.

MICH1GAN-THE GovERNoR's MISS
AGE.-The following items are CLEANED
from Governor Bingham's late message
to the Michigan Legislature:
The Finances of the State have been
extricated from the embarrassments in
which they were involved prior to the adj
vent ofRepublicanism. The total debt of
the State is now ascertaine d to be 81, 274,-
$500. Ofthe debt, $4,000 has been
paid. The old five million loan bonds
have been called in and new ones issued.
The entire debt of the State natures
within six years.
The Education system receives proper
ond favorable notice 1t is recommen-
ded that the bonds outstanding against
the institution, amounting to $4,000 be
paid, and thus it will be relieved from
embarrassment.
The Primary Schools are fourishing.
In September, 1855, there were 9,255
organized school districts, 1877, 1913 resi-
dent children between four and eighteen
years old, 3,47s female and l 900 male
teachers, all qualified, and 142,334 chill
dren taught
The Sault Canal is spoken of, and it is
recommended that,ras it is a national
work, Congress be memorialized tomake
an additional donation ofmeans to defray
the expenses of perfecting the work.

~ Gov. Geary has not very high
opinion of the Kansas mail arrangements.
He says officially: ''Every package ad-
dressed to me through the mails is bro
ken and inspected before it reaches nv
hands. 1t is entirely unsafe to send in
formation through the post office, and
more especially to use that medium to
forward anything of pecuniary value
Posthasters are either ignorant of their
duty and obligations, or, being aeansin-
ted with these, act in violation of both.
Indeed, | have been credibly informed
that in some places persons not connect
ed with the offices are permitted to en-
ter and overhaul the mails, previous to
their distribution. This is a serious
evil, upon which some prompt action is
needed.

MESAsHA LAND OFFIcE.-The last
Neenah COnSert0tOr states that the Me-
nasha Land Office has been closed, and
an impression to that effect has gone
abroad. This statement, we are happy
to say, is incorrect, as no such order has
been made, aud will not likely be for
years yet. The mistake of the Conser-
Gator occurred, no doubt, from the fact
thatno further prescriptions or entries are
allowed on the track of land reserved to
this State for Railroad purposes, which
comes within range Of that office, viz
from the base line of township Ia, inclu-
ding ranges ofl3 to 20. al the other
lands in the Menasha nistrict-and there
are tens of thousands of choice acres vet
unsold, both pine and farming-are sub
ject to sale by presumption and private
entry, Judge Bryan, the Register of
the Land Office and his clerks are, as
usual, accommodating, and every facil-
ity is afforded by them to those who wish
to purchase any Of Uncle Sans domain.
