POPULATION OF WISCONSIN, AND ILLINOIS.
The Secretary of the State of Wisconsin
has published . table giving the total vote
for Governor at the recent election In that
State, with an estimate based thereon of the
population of the State He estimates one
vote to every seven inhabitants. The total
vote for Governor was l23, 297, which. ae-
cording to estimate. gives population of
863,093. The population of Wisconsin in
1850 was 1891, showing an increase of
557, 7O2, or an increase of about lag per
cent.
Estimated upon the same ratio. the vote
at elast election iu this State would indi-.
cate that IN Illinois, in November, 1853,
the population was nearly /, 800, 900, which
is possibly not far from the actual figures.
Illinois now has members OF Congress,
and Wisconsin, 5--total, t. If the ratio

OVER THE WAY.

Gone in her childish purity
Out from her golden day:
Fading away in the light so sweet,
Where the silver stars and the sunbeams meet,
Paving path for her silent feet,
Over the silent way.
Over her bosom tenderly
The pearl white hands are prest;
The lashes lie on her cheeks so thin
Where the softest blush of the rose hath been
Shutting the blue of her eyes within
The pure lids closed in rest.
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twineth her sunny hair;
She was so fragile that love sent down
From his heavenly gems that soft bright crown,
TO shade her brow with its waves so brown,
Light as the dimpling air.
Gone to sleep, with the tender smile
Froze on her silent lips
By the farewell kiss of her dewy breath,
Cold in the clasp of the angel Death
Like the last fair bud of fading wreath
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Robin-hushed in your downy bed
Over the swinging bOugh-
DO you miss her voice from your glad duet,
When the dew in the heart of the rose is set,
Till its velvet lips with the essence wet
In orient crimson glow?
Rosebud under your shady leaf
Hid from the sunny day
Do you miss the glance OF the eye so bright,
Whose blue was Heaven in your timid sight?
1t is beaming now in the world of light,
Over the starry way.
Hearts-where the darling head hath lain,
Held by loves shining ray
Do you know that the touch of her gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land?
o, she waits for US with the angel band
Over the starry way.

How ii was.DOma.

The Washington correspondent OF
the GAINESVILLE Courier, speaking OF
the election of printer to the House,
says:
'Ihasmuch as our friend Ball came
within one vote OF an election at pre-
vious trial, it is proper that should
explain that he was put forward
without any instfumentality Of his
own, and that the Republicans have
succeeded by the aid OF his name in
breaking down their formidable oppo-
nent, GIOssbrenne5 enough Of them
made the discovery thereafter that
MIR. Ball was not sufficiently plant
enough for their purposes, and accord
ipgly deserted him. 1t is needless
for me to say that Mr.. Balls frm and
honorable bearing upon this occasion
has been in perfect conformity with
his past character and has added
much to the respect proviously y enter,
tanned for him here. Mcssrs. Henry
Winter Davis and Emerson Ethridge,
adhered to him to the last while the
Ohio delegation gave him up relact-
ant!y. The election can hardly be
said to have been made by the House,
but rather by the hungry hounds out
side who besicgea it,"
1t appears from the above that Mr..
Ball failed because he did not prove
sufficiently plant Tor the purposes "of
the hungry hounds" who set upon and
defeated him, and elected Ford. The
admission Of the COmier's correspond
ent that the election was made by
that class of men rather than the
House, is frank and no doubt true, but
it reflects no credit on the members
that they permitted such corrupt IN.
huences to control their action. The
people should demand reform in this
printing abuse.
