Disposal Of Swamp Lands.

We have been favored with a copy
Of the Bill introduced in the Senate ON
the 18th Of March, by Senator King
ston, providing for the disposal Of the
Swamp Lands of the State to actual
settlers. 1t also provides that fifty
per cent. Of the gross proceeds of the
purchase money oflands sold or to be
sold, and interest accruing, shall be
appropriated and paid over to the coun-
ty treasurers of the counties in which
the lands lie, and to be by them paid
to the town treasurer, which money is
to be expended by order Of the town
board in retaining the lands in each
town. We consider this just in every
respect. By this course the proceeds
of the Swamp lands will go to reclaim
those lands according to the grant of
Congress. 1t is the only course the
Legislature can pursue.
Senator Kingston is an honest, up-
right man, and one of the most practi-
cal men in the Senate; and we have
every reason to believe that he will sue
ceed IN this very important and just
measure. The best interests of the
State actually demand the enacting OF
the provisions of this bill. In this way
these Lands will be reclaimed and add
to the value of taxable property in this
State, and Will hasten the settlement OF
lands that might otherwise lie for a long
period of time. We shall speak of this
matter hereafter.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I notice in the
Neacs OF the 25th, communication ad-
dressed to the editor of that paper, and
signed "a Milwaukeean." He appears
very much alarmed in regard to the eff
feet that the repeal of the Land Grant
may have upon the City of Milwaukee,
Now | wish to ask which troubles him
the most, the interest of the taxpayers
and citizens of Milwaukee, or the pr
vate pockets of MiIwaukeean, in case
the Land Grant to the La Crosse Co.
be repealed? / think the taxpayers
and citizens of Milwaukee have seen
and heard enough of this kind of talk
from the Directors and their friends in
the La Crosse Board, to have any long
er the wool pulled over their eyes, in
trying to make them believe that what
they know to be black is white.
Then as to his reference to the hard
working farmers, who have mortgage
ed their farms for this enterprise: he is
in time. and / think it is time that the
farmer who has mortgaged his farm,
and paid dollar for dollar for his stock,
should be thought of, and perhaps as a
Milwaukeean seems to take sides for
the La Crosse Road, and also to be
posted on their matters, with so much
feeling for the farmer, will he explain
to them what has been the cause of the
stock in this company going down from
so to s cents? | suppose he will say,
oh! the crisis. / say it is the crisis,
and how did the crisis in this road
originate? He also says they are
ready and willing to pay al! their debts.
Why don't they DO it? Why did this
Company say to me, as well as to 9th
ers of their creditors, last fall, when
asked for pay of an honorable and Just
debt-that they had no money when
within two days after one of the Direc-
tors drew from the funds of the Com
pany s4l, 200 in cash to pay himself
for property sold to the Company by
himself-said property not being worth
over one quarter of the amount sold for !!

this Company, we will refer them to

Horrible Murder.

There was considerable excitement
through the streets of our city, yester-
day afternoon, caused by the discovery
Of one of the most horrible murders
that has ever been committed in orr
city. About O'Clock in The afternoon
the body Of a woman named Bennett
was found Ill a shanty in the Fourtl,
Ward, near the round house of the Mil
waukce & Mississippi r. r., cut and
niangled III a shocking manner. An
axe was found lying near the body all
besmeared with blood, with which the
internal deed was committed. But the
worst feature Of this horrible affair is
that the murderer of the woman was
her own husband, wretch named
Patrick Bennett, whose name has adorn-
ed the Police Court list, constantly. for
many years past. Upon being ques-
toned ne confessed his guilt, and offer
ed some petty excuse for committing
the bloody deed. Two men who hap
pened to be close by, shortly after the
murder was committed, took charge of
Bennett, and were bring ing him to the
station house, when they were met by
the police, who took both Bennett and
his brother-who was in the vicinity
when the murder was committeeman
lodged them in jail.
The body of the murdered woman.
was taken to the Dead House," in the
rear of the police station. where an in
quest will be held upon it this morning.
1t is mangled in frightfnl manner
The head is literally chopped to pieces,
and that evidently with an axe. The
brutal husband, must, like a very
demon, have gloated over his victim
and mangled the lifefess corpse, after
he had murdered her. The appearance
of the wretched shanty all spattered
with gore, where the murdered woman
lay, was horrible indeed. 1t was said
by some, that Bennett was laboring I'M
der ut OF dilerium tremens, when he
committed the murder. He appeared
rational enough, however, when taken
to the ponce station. He is one of the
worst characters in the city, and he has
repeatedly been imprisoned for various
crimes. 1t is but a short time since,
he served out term Of Imprisonment
tor robbery, and there is scarcely a
drunken row, that ever happened here,
that ne has not had a hand in.-1Mil-

LAME THE WIFE MURDERER Cox,
FEssEs HIS GUILT.-Geo. Lamb, the
hotel keeper at Mendoza, ILL.,, who was
arrested a few days since on suspicion
of having murdered his wife at St. Lou
is, has confessed his guilt A CORES
pendent of the Chicago Tribune says
that the testimony from st. Louis is
most overwhelming, leaving not a
doubt of his guilt. Lamb himself has
become satisfied Of the fact, and to
day has made a disposition of his prop.
erty.
The house has been found where
Lamb stopped in st. Louis, the woman
that waited on his wife, who saw her
expire in commissions and assisted
Lamb in putting her into a box-also,
the doctor that was called by Lamb to
her aid, whom Lamb informed that
she had procured an abortion. The
physician was satisfied there was no
abortion, and that the woman was la
boring under the effects of strychnine.
The box containing the body was, by
Lamb and a teamster driving a lumber
wagon, taken off in the night. Lamb,
since learning all these facts, to-day has
acknowledged his guilt. His object for
doing it was to prevent his exposure
with his maid,-now his wife. Lamb
about two weeks since made a public
profession of religion, and joined the
Baptist Church Of this place.

TIE LETTER REGIsTER1SG SYSTEM
A FAIIURE.-Ou experience thus far,
says Journal Of Commerce, goes to es-
tablish the fact that much larger pro-
portion Of rcgisteredletters fail to reach
their destination than those that are
not registered. The reason doubtless
IS, that the register mark is a distinct
announcement to every one who has ac-
cess to a letter thus distinguished, that
it contained money, or something else
of value. And as there are dishonest
men here and there, it is not strange
that such letters frequently miscarry.-
The system Of post-otfice drafts is al
Heady in operation in England with the
best success. 1t would be a great con-
venience here.

"A MODEL ADMINISTRATORS DEMO
CRAT.-Before the bursting of the Lee
compton storm upon the eXhultant and
hopeful ranks Of the North western De
mocracy, the cable editor of the Mil
waukee Nears had brilliant visions of
the great future opening before the di-
minutive Anak, the distinguished Dem
ocratic Senator from Illinois. What
ever other events night happen, among
the chances and changes of political
life, one thing was sure; to wit, that he
(the said editor) should support for the
next Presidency, by all means and at
whatever hazard, the Hon. Stephen A.
Douglas. Not only this, but he was
sure he was merely uttering the voice
of the great Northwest, in saying that
this ilustrious statesman must and
should be elected, in 1860, and no la
ter.
This pleasing confidence, this ASST
rance of everlasting fidelity to the for
tunes OF Douglas, whether in sunshine
or i'll storm, suffered no abatement,
when that Senator saw fit to express
his very modest dissent from one por-
ton of a Presidential message, which
otherwise had his endorsement, cordial
ly and IN toto. The Neacs said Ditto
to the Senator from Illinois Lecomp-
ton was wrong. To urge it was to Vi
olate pledges made to the people of the
| entire Northwest. Lecompton, in his
judgement, ought to be defeated. A
State Mass Convention of the Wiscon-
sin Democrats, was held soon after.
which unanimously sustained these
views. The doings of this Convention
had conspicuous mention and cordial
approval in the columns of the Ne,cs.

eAA$ AAhNSNSASh SShSuI
Since the above was written, we have
found In an exchange an article upon
this subject from the Christian Regis
ter, from which we clip the following ::
If all its parts are equally inspired
and lntalllble, then the words of Him
who spake as never man spake, are of
no more authority than the crudest con-
ceptions of the E pistles, or the most
anthropomorphic representations of the
Pentateuch; and in accordance with
the pharmaceutical rule, that the gener-
al must be explained by the specific.
the profound and universal principles of
the Sermon on the Mount must be mod
lied by the semi-barbaric institutions
of Moses, and the illogical reasonings
OF Paul. In this way the bible has
been made an obstacle in the path of
reform; and some of the foulest errors
OF barbarism have been perpetuated
and upheld in Christian communities.
There can be no question with a can
did mind, that the Scriptures, taken as
q W LoiS, ScilldIl more numerous ana
explicit sanctions of slavery. wine
drinking, polygamy, tyranny and war,
then condemnation of these sins hence.
if the Old Testament is as authoritative
as the New, their practice ought to be
regarded as right.
This view is the one which their adj
vocates in all ages of Christianity have
assumed. The friends of peace have
always had Joshua and Judges hurled
at their heads; our fathers, in the Rev
olutlon, were morally combatted with
Paul; the strongest arguments. against
the temperance movements were drawn
from the bible, and urged by Orthodox
ministers; the Mormons cover their sin
of dozen wives with chapters from
the Book of books; and the supporters
Of slavery lock the chains around their
victims with divine precepts and infal-
lible curses. 1t is in vain to say that
the bibles commands in reference to
these sins were accommodating to a
peculiar state of society, and are nc
longer to be applied.
