MOUNT VERNON FESTIVAL IN MILwAC

MOUNT VERNON FESTIVAL IN MILwAU-
KEE.-The Milwaukee NeecS gives the fol-
lowing account of the Festival recently
held in that city for the benefit of the I'm
proyement of the Mount Vernon estate
Although the nett proceeds of the Fes-
tival in aid of the Mount Vernon Associa-
ton, were not equal to the labor and task
with which it was got I'D and conducted,
still the result is gratifying to the Vice
Regent and the Lady Managers. 1t is not
now known precisely how much will be
cleared above expenses, but we can say
upon authority that the amount will be
about 5000 The entire expenses of the
several entertainments were about $500
Besides the above nett amount Of profit,
the ladies will have OH hand the magniti-
cent full length portrait Of Washington,
valued at 5000, which we understand will
soon be disposed of by the sale of shares,
The Vice Regent and her CO laborers
deserve all praise for the untiring zeal and
industry with which they entered upon
their works. In ordinary seasons Of pros
peri:y, such faithfulness would have been
rewarded with double the patronage from
the public.
a large quantity of provisions, left from
the bountiful supply Of the tables, was
distributed among the benevolent institu-
tons of the city, and divided among the
poor.

Relief.

Ii Is often asked, How shall we help
ourselves in these hard times % Let me
say, one way will be to cut down our tax
es. Let our Village, Town and County
Boards resolve upon reform in this mat
ter. The taxes of Calumet and Mantle
woo counties are an outrage upon reason.
At the town meeting of every town let the
people demonstrate! In Waupacca coun-
ty the taxes are not half as high on prop
erty of equal yalue. In the State of Indi-
ana the :axes on an Improved so are not
so high as here on aciH 40. Again |
say, let the people demonstrate. The evil
is great it operates disas rously How
long shall our settlers be oppressed, and
their friends who would gladly seek homes
near them be driven away from our beau
tiful lands by this excessive taxation -
Let all, without respect to party, adopt
the motto = Economy. Retrenchment!!
REFORM REASON.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE JUDGES OF THE
SUPREME Court OF THE UNITED STATES
The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Piaindealer who has lately been
in the Supreme Court Room, at Washing
ton says:
" First on the bench sat Clifford, fat and
sleek, with no gray hairs, and weighing
should judge, two hundred. Next, Grier,
about the same size, and quite gray-head-
ed; then Wayne, with light, but not gray
hair, and about one hundred and fifty
pounds weight; next, Mclean, with scarce
ly white hair, though far advanced in
age, looking hale and hearty, and of about
two hundred pounds weight. Catron,
with silver hair, but not so large man as
Mclean. Next, Nelson, with whiskers
from his ears round under his chin, and
the only one who had whisker. lie
would weigh one hundred and eighty, or
more. Last, Judge Campbell, the only
bald headed man. He had silver side
locks, and medium size. Altogether, it is
a weighty body. In front of the Judges
bench VERY fine arm-chairs) are the bust.
Of the venerable Chief Justices Marshall,
Rutledge, Jay, and Ellsworth. The court
room is small; not large enough to hold
more than fifty persons"

rance has been reached by our State Court
in denying the jurisdiction of the Z. S.
Supreme Court in the construction of a
U. ,. Law, while assuming that jurisdiction

EThe News, Of Saturday last, gives
the following as /" the position of Mr..

Mr.. Booth las been imprisoned in
conformity with orders from the Attorney
General of the United States, and is in
custody Of the U. S Marshal who has his
instructions in what manper to DO his du-

ton, and release, and during the time the
U. S. Government has acted with
great delicacy towards the State Courts,
waiting patiently in the hope that when a
final decision of the .. S. Supreme Conrt
was had, the State would acquiesce in it.
This not being The case, it became neces-
sary that the general government should
yindicate its dignity. whatever might be
the results, and that it should be deter
mined whether Wisconsin was amenable
to those laws recognized by every other
State Of the Union, or whether she is to
be in hostility to that Union whose COM
stitution her officers are all sworn to sup-
port"

CLAIMANTS MAY SUE A CoUNTY.-The
Supreme Court of Wisconsin has finally
decided that the "holder of County Or
der may sue the County after presenting
the same to the County Treasurer for pay
ment, and in default Of such payment be-
ing made" In the same case it was de-
cided that a claimant cannot sue the Coun.
ty until after presenting his bill to the
County Board in regular order, for allow
ance or rejection. 1t is understood that
the case is important, as the holders of
Orders in deeply indebted counties where
they are at heavy discount may, by sue
ing, recover speedily, by levying on and
selling public county property. Hereto
fore, it has been understood that county
could not be sued for debt due on Coun-

A WoRD OF CAUTION TO ADVENTURES
The Rocky Mountain News of the 18th
ult., cautions all who anticipate adventure
in the spring in the Kansas gold mines
not to start too soon, or caamities will be-
fall them. 1t says;
We have barely sufficient provisions in
this country to subsIst those already here
until the season Of advantageously trans
porting new supply-which can hardly
be sooner than the middle of May, or
about the time that mining operations can
be resumed by the masses. Every man
who reaches here before that time should
bring supply Of provisions and clothing
sufficient until the first Of June, and come
with the expectation of doing little or
nothing before that time. There is little
use in leaving the Missouri river before
The latter part of April or The first of May,
unless it be those who have friends here, or
who come with view of speculation and
have plenty of money.

City TREASURER OF OsHKosH.-While
at Oshkosh few days since, we heard the
name of Mr.. JOHN BRENNAN prominently
mentioned for Treasurer of that City. Mr..
B. is a young man of integrity, and by
nature and education is well qualified for
the position. lie has also become ac-
quainted with the duties of the office, and
we doubt whether the people could find
another person better fitted to take care of
theii treasury.

THE FREE BANKING SYsTEM.-The New
York Courier ec Enquirer publishes
statement of the resources and liabilities
of the banks of Illinois, and with good rea-
son adds the following:
This list embraces returns from seventy
four banks, only seven of which have a
capital of over one hundred thousand dol
lars, and fifty of them have only fifty
thousand dollars each as capital. To
show the hollowness Of the free banking
system as adopted in Illinois, Gas well as
other Western States, and of its fitness for
the legitimate end Of commerce, trade and
manufacturers, it may be we'll to state that
the amount of circulation based upon this
capital is $S,9S1,000, while loans are
only two millions of dollars. Of these
seventy four banks, only twenty-five re-
port any deposits on hand, with which to
meet this large circulation, is only $685.
So, or tgo and q half per cent. No per-
manency, no stability, no safety exists in
such system. These banks are mostly
banks Of issue, and do not accomplish tho
legitimate objects of banking Institutions.
If Missouri State stock (of which the
Illinois banks alone hol,i about fonr mil
lons) fall in market value to any extent,
the banks in many cases are forced to sell
them to meet their bills.
No real good can arise from the bank
ING system-no permanent benefts-(a!-
though there may be temporary accom-
modation) unless large capital, as min
imum, is enforced, and a specie reserve is
fluctuations arising from mere paper circu
latiOn

Mode of Taking the Census.

The Washington Constitution, in a re-
cent article, gives clear synopsis of the
law regulating the appointment and com
pensatlon of census takers, and the mode
of taking the census, which is Of interest
just at this time.
The duties of taking the census devolves
upon the United States Marshals, who ap-
point their own assistants. These Mar
shals are required by law to subdivide
their districts, and for each subdivision to
appoint an assistant, taking care not to in
clude greater population (by estimate)
than 10000 in any one subdivision.
In the prosecution of their work, the
assistants are required to make two copies
of their report. The original returns are
filed with the clerk Of the Court of each
county, and the copies are forwarded to the
Marshal, who transmits one copy to the
Secretary of the State for his District, and
the other to the census Office in Washing
ton.
With regard to the compensation Of the
Marshals, and Assistant Marshals, the Con-
stitution says:
The compensation to the Marshals is in
proportion to the population enumerated
by his assistants should that exceed one
million, he is paid one dollar for each
thousand persons enumerated should the
population returned by his assistants be
less than one million, he receives the sum
of one dollar and twenty-five cents for
each one thousand persons returned; a
system of compensation sufficiently moder
ate, but which may admit of the payment
of greater amount for a lesser service. as
in the case of marshal whose returns in
clude $4,000 persons at one dollar and
twenty-five cunts per thousand persons,
no more than he whose returns do not
much exceed million, an inequality not
unusual in rating fees for mileage and 9TH
err services.
The assistants who perform the work of
enumeration are paid on different princi-
pie, combining in a novel manner compen-
salion for labor and travel, and which was
found to operate very fairly and satisfac-
tory to the employees and government
His allowance is two cents for each person
enumerated; for each farm, ten cents; for
each establishment Of productive industry,
fifteen cents for social statistics, two per
centum on the amount allowed for emu
merating the population; and two cents
for each mortality return, with ten cents
for travelling expenses, to be ascertained by
multiplying the square root of the number
of dwelling houses in his district by the
square root of the number Of square miles
in his division from the product whereof
is to be derived the number of miles trav-
eled, and eight cents per page for the two
COPIES.

CESsUs OF l860.-According to the
best calculations, the seventh census of the
United States, which is to be taken this
year, will show that we now have popu.
lation of at least 50, 0OO,0 900. Within the
memory OF men now living, the population
Of this country was but three millions. It
has been increased tenfold in a single life
time.

PCNP CARPENTER IN LUCK-The SUI
preme Court has rendered an important de-
cision in the case Of Carpenter as. Has ,ings.
The Court holds that the auditing of an ac-
count by the Secretary of State is final, and
cannot be corrected, whether fraudulent
or not. Carpenter thus secures the pay
ment Of some $4,000 on his printing
contract as previously audited by Secreta
~ Jones. and payment refused by the
State Treasurer.

y S. MARSHAL LEwIs-In speaking Of
the confirmation of Hon. J. I'll. LEWIS as
U. S. Marshal, by the Senate, the La
Crosse Union gives him the following
well.deseryed compliment;
That he will make faithful and eff
cient public officer, no one acquainted
with the man can for moment Doubt
As man, his moral character is above
reproach-as a Democrat his record is
without blot.
Mr.. Lewis was born in Belmont county,
O., in 1909, and is therefore fifty one
years of age, at the present time. Becom-
ing an orphan at very early age, his lot
was cast among strangers, and he com
menced the battle of life unaided and
alone, in a new country. Learning a
trade he labored industriously as me-
chanic, until he had acquired capital
sufficient to establish himself in the mer-
camille business, in which he has been en-
gagged for the past twelve years.
He is entirely self-made man, and
owes his success in life alone to his own
Efforts and perseverance. No more wor-
thy successor of the lamented Thomas
could have been selected.

REMAEKADLE SHOOTING WILLIAMTELL
ECupsED.-Mr Fred. Whitehead of this
city, late of Buffalo. who is engaged in
Storm shooting gallery, on Fourth street,
bids fair to eclipse Travis himself or even
the world-renowned hero and patriot,
VIM. Tell. The other evening while in
the gallery, we saw him shoot an apple
from the head of another gentleman, who
stood at the distance of ten PAGES. What
makes this feat a remarkable one is from
the fact that it was performed with pis-
tol and ball, and not with an air gun, which
is usually employed in shooting galleries.
The same gentleman stood off ten PAGES
and held a seven spot diamond card in his
hand Mr.. Whitehead, with pistol and
ball shot five spots out Of the card. This
is what we call tolerabIe good shooting,
and we see no reason why Whitehead
should not have his name in print as we'll
as he Swiss hero. We are assured Mr..
Whitehead can do other things equally as
wonderful with the pistol or rifle, and it
would not surprise us much if he should
shortly challenge any man in America to
compete with him.--.St. Louis Bulletin.

WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY
The editor Of the Boston Post says -
" We have not, until recently, been ac-
quanted, experimentaly, with the true
value Of Wistar's Balsam. From this truly
valuable preparation we have received a
present benefit, having recently used it in
a case Of severe cold and cough, with en-
tire success, and most cheerfully recon-
mend it to those alike afflicted. 1t is a
scientific preparation and worthy Of conf
dence"
This Balsam is made from materials
which Nature has placed in all northern
ATTITUDES, as an antidote for diseases caused
by cold climates.
Nature is but The name of an effect,
Whose cause is God"
Let us not neglect her plainest dictates.

FIRE IN MILwAUKEE.-A disastrous fire
occurred in Milwaukee on the Oath ult.
A fine building on East Water street occu-

Chief Engineer Of the Fire Department,
the Sentinel says he very fully justified
the good opinions Of those friends whose
votes elected him to tie office, and adds !:
" Among the first on the ground, after
the alarm was given, and the last to leave
it, lie directed The operations of the De-
partment with excellent judgment, and
himself led the way to the lofty roof of the
building adjoining the burning store,
whence the water could be thrown upon
the fire to the best advantage. 1t took
four hours Lard work to extinguish the
flames, and during all that time our gal
liant Chief never tlinched from his post nor
shirkcd his duty. We think that he has
fairly earned the compliment of re-elec-
ton

TIE WRECK OF TIE UUNGARlAN.-The
British Steamship Hungarian which went
ashore a week ago Sunday night, off Care
Ledge, and became total wreck-her
whole crew and passengers being lost
appears from the clearance papers, which
have been picked up, had three hundred
and sixty souls on board, though the ship
news only gives her seventy-fve. There is
some doubt that the clearance presents the
correct number on board; but large
number of individuals must have persisted
by the disaster, in view Of the shore. The
New York Herald refers to this circum-
stance in consideration of the fact that no
adequate measures have been taken to
afford relief to the sufferers. The passen-
gers had mostly steerage tickets, although
there were some who were members of the
Canadian Parliament, and other promi-
nent Canadians.
