supreme Judgeship of Wisconsin

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin with united
voice decided the Fugitive Slave Act unconsti-
tutionaI in the Booth case at Milwaukee, and
that decision stands in the State One of the
Associate Justices was A. D. SMITH, formerly
of this city His term of Office soon expires,
and he is candidate for reelection to the Su-
preme Bench. We regret to see that there will
probably be three candidates in the field, which
will be likely to throw the choice into the hands
of the Dred Scott Democracy. The Hon. By
ron Paine, of Milwaukee, having been brought
forward by Republican friends, declined being a
candidate in case Judge Smith should be. Not
withstanding this, caucus of the Republican
members of the Legislature and leading Repub-
Ecans at Madison from different sections of the
State, has recommended Judge Paine for Asso-
ciate Justice, and advised the Republican voters
to concentrate upon him. The pro-slavery
Democrats have nominated VIM. P. Lynde, of
Milwaukee, and feel a strong hope of success,
owing to the divisions on the subject of a can
didate among those who would sustain the noble
position of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, in
resisting the unconstitutional and tyrannical
encroachments of the Slave power We trust
the Drcd Scottites will find their scheme blast
ed, by union on some satisfactory basis of all
the friends of Freedom in tie Badger State

.,r. rhurston, the Lost RrOnaut, Found.

SIR. ThurstOn, the Lost HrOnaut, Found.
It will be recollected that on the 10th of Sep
tember last, Mr. Ira J. Thurston made an un-
expected balloon ascension from the vicinity OF
Adrian, Mich, that the balloon was some days
after found in the vicinity of st. Clair river but
the fate of the Door sronaut remained involved
in mystery though extensive search was made
for his body, and the lights of Spiritualism were
invoked and proved will-o-wisp as usual
Some of the pretended spirit revelations were
that Thurston reached the earth alive and was
then in nearly an inaccessible hut in the st.
Clair marshes; and the latest was that the exact
locality of his body had been found-that the
force of the fall had buried it deep in the soft
marsh-that pole thrust down had brought
up hair from the head of the unfortunate man
that the water and soft earth filed the hole SO
rapidly that an excavation to the body could
not be made without curbing, which would be
done as soon as ice was formed sufficiently
strong to permit the work to progress with
safety
Mr.. Thurston's case was singular and sad
one, and excited much interest. He had made
a successful ascension with Mr.. Bannister, and
while securing the balloon after descending,
and after removing the car, it suddenly rose
while Mr.. Thur;tOn was upon it, and rapidly
disappeared. As it rose Mr.. T. clung to the
portion on which he was seated, and remark
ed to Mr.. B. that it would soon come down
again. The balloon was afterwards discovered
at great height, and as it approached the earth
some persons fancied they discovered an object
still clinging to it.
The body of Mr.. Thurston was accidentally
found on the 9Th inst, about ten miles from the
place OF his second ascension. 1t was in an OBJ
scure lot about a mile north of Sylvanil, and
the remains were brought to Adrian and fully
identified. The body was much decOmposed,
but a watch, money, and several articles easily
recognized were found with the remains.

We clip the following items tsem the special
newspaper dispatches of the 6ai and 7th;
The appointment of Mr.. Benjamin Wiggin
as Commissioner, under the Canadian ReciProc-
ity treaty, was rejected in Executive session
yesterday, by vote of q to %. Mr.. Wiggm
claimed that he secured the nomination of
Mr.. Buchanan at Cincinnati, and it is charged
that Jefferson Davis fought against his cOnhr-
nation because of this fact, and of Wiggin's op-
position to Pierce; but others assert that Mr..
Dsvis's opposition was based upon the higher
grounds, that Wiggin is totally unworthy and
unfit for the place, as was proved by the Sena-
tors from Maine 1t is said that Mr. Douglas
voted against Mr.. Wiggin wholly upon political
ground, viz: because Mr.. Wiggin controlled
The Bangor Union, which has frequently assail-
ed Mr.. Douglas.
Certain officials here, high and low, are con-
siderabIy annoyed by the assessments that have
been made upon them for the purpose of de-
feating the Republicans in New Hampshire
Several New Hampshire Democrats, who pro-
fess to be Douglas men at home, have been here
consulting with Jefferson Davis concerning the
prospective demonstration for Frank Pierce in

Judge 0'Flynn, the present Postmaster of
Detroit, is before the Senate for continuation
He is straight Lecomptonite, and will meet

Western men who are in ths city are greatly
enraged at the refusal of the President to sign
Senator Chandler's bill, appropriating S54, 900
to complete the channel over the st. Clair
Flats.
Estimates OF the expense of the Mohsye In
dian war were received at the Quartermaster's
department yesterday, and amount to over $780,
coo.
Drafts on the Post Office Department to the
amount of $500, 900, for contracts, were refused
payment on Saturday, owing to the failure of
the deficiency appropriation, provided in the last
Post Office Bill
The Unions editorial this morning negatives
the idea of an extra session. L calls upon the
contractors to avow their readiness to 90 on

for compensation.
The President is intensely wroth about the
conduct of Secretary Toucey in exposing the

openly charged here that Toucey did this to

and make the President his fortress against as

Treasury Investigating COmmIttee's Report
1t was expected that the Report of the Treas
ury Investigating Committee would be made
to the Legislature yesterday. 1t is said to be
very long, filling two sheets as large as the
Daily Ohio Statesman. A Columbus dispatch
of the 7th to the Cincinnati Commercial, gives
an inkling of what may be expected, as follows;
It's understood that securities representing
one hundred and thirty thousand dollars have
been recovered from Breslin.
Il is also understood, upon good authority,
that the forthcoming report gives such a clue
that the State will be able TO recover the entire
amount ofthe defalcation--three quarters of
million-if she will follw the matter up vigor-
Ously.
Breslin's affidavit is little more than an ap-
peal for forgiveness. The disclosures ofimpor-
tanee were wrung from other parties.

WINES VOW IN OPERATION.

The Sonora Company, of Cincinnati, are il
the full tide of successful operation, with costly
works This is the Oldest American company
and its founders underwent many hardships anC
dangers during their first two years of expert
ment. They have now every prospect of reap
ing rich reward. The principal mine, the
Sierra Colorado" is admitted by all competent
Judges to be one of the best and richest silver
mines in the world.
The patagonia Nine" belonging to Messrs.
Brevoort, ElweIl, Dodson, and others, is now
turning out silver to the amount of 81 900 per
week, although. comparatively speaking, opera
tions have Just commenced, and on limited
scale. It is owned and managed by few expe-
rienced men, who have carried on their labors
thus far with small outlay. This mine also
yields lead of fine quality, in a quantity suffi-
cient to pay for working. 1t is, undoubtedly, a
very valuable mine, with location convenient
to wood and water.
Next we have the "Union Mines" lately
opened by Col. Titus, so notorious in Kansas
not long since He has several residents of the
Territory associated with him. / have seen
specimens from the "Union Mines" and they
are certainly very fine. Col Titus has abandon
ed all his ideas of fllibusterism, and settled
down to hard work.
AhC SaAta Astso
~ on heavy operations, the necessary buildings
are going up, and the tools, machinery, &c, &c,
being prepared, work will first be commenced on
the "Salero" mine, the specimens of which indi-
cate splendid yield of metal.
{ The Sopori Company of Providence, Rhode
Island, intend to open in March, if possible
The agent of the Company, with funds and
tools, is now on the way. This Company own
several old Mexican mines which yielded very
handsomely many years since. They were
worked by Jesuit Missionaries.
The Arizona Copper Mine Company, nearthe
Gila, has suspended operations, for the present,
on account of the difficulty of transporting the
metal. These mines are very rich, and at some
future day will be proftably worked.
Thus mining operations stand at present in
this territory prosperous, at all events, nOtwith-
standing many adverse circumstances, such as
the high prices of provisions and clothing, the
cost and difficulty of transportation, and the
favages of the Indians.

Death of Postmaster General Brown.
The worst fears have been realized. dis

The worst fears have been realized. A dis
patch dated Washington, March sth says;
The Postmaster General died this morning
at half past nine.
A quarter of an hour previous he was con-
scious and took leave of his family. Last night
tie President had final interview and was af-
fected to tears During his occasional delirium
the Postmaster General called for the Bill, evil
IDENTIFY alluding to the defeated one, having ref
erence to his department
His death oecasioned the utmost sorrow
among all classes of the community.
Mr.. Brown was severely attacked with pneu-
monia the latter part of February, and few
days ago it was thought the critical stage of the
disease had been passed. A relapse took place,
ending in death.
Aaron v Brown was of revolutionary stock.
His father, Rev Aaron Brown, when a minor,
shared the hardships of the terrible Valley
Forge campaign, and was one of the band of
heroes who crossed the Delaware on Christmas
day, l776, marched to Trenton, and stormed
and captured the enemy. The son was born
in the county of Brunswick. Virginia, August
18th, 1895. and in 1914 graduated with honor
at the University of North Carolina. About
this time his parents removed to Giles county,
Tennessee, and in 1915 he entered the Office Of
Judge Trimble, OF Nashville, as law student
Soon after admission to the bar Mr.. Brown
formed law partnership with James K. Polk,
at Columbia. He served in different branches
of the Legislature, ard in 1889 was elected to
Congress by handsome majority. In Is4l he
was reelected without competitor In ls43
he was again chosen, in opposition to the Hon.
Neil S. Brown, subsequently Minister to Rus
sia. The deceased was the Democratic candid
ate for Governor of Tennessee in lS45, and al
though the State had repudiated Mr.. Polk both
for Governor and President, he was elected over
Mr.. Foster, the Wing candidate. Mr.. Buchan-
an appointed Gov. Brown Postmaster General.
His administration of the department has been
marked with the general success of the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet associates. The expenses
have SO far exceeded the revenue, that resort
to increased postages has been recommended as
& matter of necessity, it is claimed, to retrieve
the bankrupt condition of the General Post
Office.
Indecent as is the haste, the subject of sue
cessor of Postmaster General Brown was agi-
tated before life was extinct Messrs. Lynn
Boyd, of Ky; Cave johnson, of Tenn Mr.
Phelps, of No; and Mr.. Fowler, of n. Y, are
spoken of for the vacancy. A reorganization
of the whole Cabinet is also intimated

Old Mnine LiQuOr Law--Hard Drinking

In q recent narrative of the history of Detroi
between 1876 and 1905 by Mr.. Walker of tha
city, he referred to the meetings of the Terrific
nal Legislature in 1893. 1900, and 1901. Mr.
". stated that nearly every law which was pass
ed was drafted by the late Judge Burnet, oi
Cincinnati, and are creditable in q high degree
to the clearness of his perception, the accu
rAcy and care displayed in their preparation, and
their high tone of morality. In this latter re-
spect, they were not exceled by the enactments
of New England. Among these, was the first
Maine Liquor Law ever enacted in the North
west 1t prohibited the introduction of intoxi-
eating liquor into the Moravisn settlements, on
penalty of forfeiture to the missionaries In
years after, old father Zeisberger, the chief
among these people, might have been seen, his
long white hair streaming in the breeze, en-
gagged in knocking in the heads of barrels of
liquor thus confscated.
The French of Detroit in early times were
ight-hearted and gay-their pleasures simple
and attractive. The tone of English and Amer
ican society was taken very much from the Eng
lish and Scotch fur-trsders, who were deep
drinkers, and this vice was introduced through
their influence into the general society. Judge
Burnet mentions attending celebration at
Sandwich where some 400 people were gather
ed, who, he says, crank more liquor than he ev-
sr saw drank before by an equal number of peo-
pie.
The liquors Ofthose days could not have been
the poison-adulterated compounds of this delir-
ium tremens age, for the Detroit Tribune says:
Judge WitherelI added remark after Mr..
Walker sat down, relative to the drinking of the
time. They were indeed deep drinkers, and the |
liquor used must have been good, for he had |
been informed by French resident of this city |
within "a hours, that his grandfather lived 70 be
ll6 years old. in ia of which he never drew
sober breath.

ArfzOua--The silver Mines.

For the purpose of obtaining Territorial or
ganization the population of Arizona has nc
doubt been much overstated by interested par
ties and delegate Mowry. A very intelligent
member of the Ohio Santa Rita Silver Mining
| Company has furnished the Cincinnati Times
much valuable information in regard to the Ter
ritory, and in his letter from Santa Rita of Jan.
Both, 1859, he states that the best informed men
in the territory concur in expressing the belief
that the total number of Americans is not over
250, and his own observations agree with them.
A gentleman who has lately visited every set
tlement in the country, declares that the number
of American ladies is exactly l6. OF the num-
Der OF Mexicans and Indians the writer says
there can be no reliable data, but he thinks there
are not over 5000 persons within the limits of
Arizona. Emigrants come in slow, and will
until there is security against the Indians.
There is hardly semblance of legal author
ity in Arizona, disputes being generally settled
by an appeal to the bowie knife and revolvers
Every one goes armed, and acts his own
court, jury, and exeeutioner. Marriage is
mockery, and half-breeds compose the majority
of the population. They are described as gene
rally indOent, revengeful, treacherous, coward
ly, and thievish. So much for the people.
The writer believes that the time is not far
distant when the silver mines of Arizona will |
be as famous as the world-renowned gold mines |
of California. The whole country abOunds in
silver veins, and the records of the old churches
and missions abound in proof of the successful
mining operations ofthe early Spaniards. Val
liable lead and copper mines also lie uuworked.
