COLLECTION Laws.

Inc present senior editor of the Milwaukee
RTE Democrat, was among the earliest editors,
in Wisconsin to advocate the abolition of the
collection laws. That paper of the 25th inst,
remarks on the economics of the collection laws
as follows:
"There is one fact in onLection with this mat
ter worthy of consideration Research proves
that the cost of the collection laws about equals
the amount of the debts they are instrumental IN
collecting that the Laborer of the country flor
from that source the cost finally comes) is oblg
ed to pay for the machinery of collection-an
amount equal to all that is collected--or by this
means the debt is paid thrice over, once to the
honest creditor, and once to his agent-the laws
lawyers and law officers generally. 1t would
seem to follow, that if this immense expense
could be saved to labor, that there would be lust
that much capital saved that could be applied
directly to the payment of debts, and to that ex-
tent debts be more promptly and easily paid
When we look over the face of society and see
the immense standing army of men whose only
avocation is to run the machine, and who get
handsomely paid for it, it 1 no. very remarkable
that there should be hard times and debts should
not be paid promptly"

$2235 30

- Ddlance' $3.50 81
She above $2,235,30 being the actual amount
OF the poor expense under the supervision of the
county for the current year.
by referring to previous years it will be seen
that the expense under the then existing system
for the support of county poor, was increasing
from year to year at fearful rate. From the
year 1855 to 1858 the increase was over $1,000
leaving the sum for 1853 So, 1882 90; mere frac.
ton less than s. 900 more than the years 1850
From the fearful increase of expense for county

now closing, the deficiency and embarrassment
OF former systems, or rather want of system.
would have made the expense for the current
year OF 1859 not less than $500. Particularly
would the expense of the insane, the past year
have proved alarming to tax payers.
10 the foregoing may be added, that one year
slnce' there Were some 80 paupers on the list of
county poor. By prudent and shrewd manage
ment, on the part of our agent, more than from
any other cause as your committee believe the
number has been reduced to 18-while your com
mittee are fully convinced that every claim of
humanity has been fully met. Your committee
would further report that they have examined
the county poor house and surroundings, and find
the same kept in neat and wholesome manner,
and IN our opinion conducted for the best inter
est Of the county, at the same time with human
ity to the unfortunate inmates
In view of the above facts your committee
would recommend continuation of the present
system. Your committee would further recon-
mend the following resolution:
ResotUed, That J. V. Quarles be and hereby
is made an agent on the part of the county to
take charge of all the county poor, and is hereby
authorized to make such arrangement in regard
to rent and all other matters relating to said
county poor, as in his judgment shall be tt and
proper.

The New York Tribune

We invite attention to the prospectus of the New
York Ir6"ne, found on the first page of this paper
The Tribune has a wider circulation than any 9th
er newspaper in the United States As politcal
journal, and as general newspaper it has no SUI
perior in point of talent and enterprise. Although
the large circulation of the Tribune in this portion
OF the west tends to diminish the subscription lists
OF our home ewspapers, yet inasmuch as an cas-
tern paper seems to be regarded as sort of neces
slty by many persons, we cheerfully recommend the
New York Tribune We however regard it bad
policy for any one to dispense with his own county
or local newspaper, for the purpose of taking the
Tribune; in this age of general reading and intelli-
gence, there are but few who cannot afford the tri-
fling sum of both-a home paper first and an cas-
tern next.

A LAWYERS FEEs.-A suit was tried in the
Circuit Court at Milwaukee last week, in which
E. G. Ryan Milwaukee lawyer was the plaintiff
and w. Barnes Trustee for the La Crosse Third
mortgage Bondholders was the DEPENDENT. Mr.
Ryan brought the suit for professional services
rendered in fOreclosing the Third mortgage last
Spring; he claimed the business was in his
charge four month, and for which he charged a
lee OF $4,000 The case was given to the jury
VINO brought in verdict of $7,Oo0l Mr.. RYAN
having already beenIpaid 81 900, so he has award.
ed him $4,000 for this service. 1t is nothing
more or less, than diseased public sentiment
that toerates such gross inequalities in the val
ue of legal services, over the other professions
or the industrial trades. VIM. Pitt Lynde, who
wanted to be elected Judge of the Supreme
court last Spring, and who run for that Office
against Byron Payne, testified that the service
rendered by Mr.. Ryan in foreclosing the Railroad
mortgage, was worth from ten to sIe1en Thousand
dollars.

Notwithstanding the Democracy are beaten all

elated with the prospect Of victory in 1860 Two
years ago, Gov. Randall ad only ll8 majority

year. The Republicans in New Orz have gain

seemingly striving to draw comfort out of theil

Es,E,Eg;at OLE Eg0manm.,,

The Kenosha Democrat seems grieved that we
should presume to speak of Capt, Brown as an
"old Roman" We think it was Gov. Wise, of
Virginia who first originated the idea of compar-
ing Capt Brown to an sold Roman" Gov Wise
has told the world that he never saw such cour-
age, truthfuncss and sincerity, as he saw in that
wounded old man at Harper's Ferry Perhaps
Gov Wise IS not sufficiently "sound on the
goose to suit the Kenosha Democrat, if not, that
paper had better pay its respects directly to the
Governor, by way of demonstrating with him for
speaking SO highly of the Roman qualities of Capt.
Brown.

Total,

From the foregoing it will be seen that the
State Tax levied this year, is only trihe over
one half the amount levied last year. The Coun-
ty tax is larger than last year, the necessity for
this arises chiefly from increased Court expens-
es these expenses for the year have amounted
to nearly S25O0. The last May term of court,
which cost the County about $1,000 was not
paid, because there was no money in the Treas
ury. Several other items of unarrearages had
to be provided for by the Board; one Of an in
debtedness Of the county to the city of about
81 900 for returned lands.
The amount levied for the support of schools,
is a little larger than last year; but this is not
properly set down as county expense, because
the greater the amount raised by the county for
school pusp oses, the less will be the sums re-
quired to be raised in the school districts The
Board of Supervisors in all their proceedings,
have evidently been actuated by desire to
economic in the matter of county expen ses, so
far as it could be done, consistent with the pub
lie interests, and the rights Of individuals.

vote together, exceeded the Republican vote in

candidate this year, against the Democrats and

good test of the relative strength of parties
