About Nlsconafn Currency.
Correspondence Of the Chicago Ttibunel
MANSON, VIE, June II, 1851.
4ou have been saying some pretty hard
things Of late about our Wisconsin currency.
It Is admitted that it is not quite equal to
gold, nor as good as We expect It will be ate.
The first Of December next-provided the law
passed last winter Is approved BY the people,
Of which there can be little doubt AL banks
will then be required to redeem their circuls-
ton In Milwaukee OF Madison at u Of one per
CENT discount, to have bond jsde cash capital
Of at least $4,000, in all cafes an amount
equal to one-third Of It's circulation, before It
can Issue any more, the Comptroller prohib-
tied from Issuing circulation for more than
ninety per cent. Of tie average value Of stocks,
(which must be United states or Wisconsin, J
and the stockholders Of bank made liable
for fta debts six months after any transfer.
Then 1t can more truly be said than now, that
ne have 8 sound and convertible currency.
Such times as the present we're not foreseen
VIXEN our system Of banking WIS adopted,
and until they wexe plainly discovered in near
prospect, 1t was IS good rs could be desired.
Tbat the t. Devil Is not 80 black as he Is paint
ed" aud that you have treated Of "Wisconsln
stumptail" under some Misrepresentation. Il
3ou will allow me, I will endeavor to show by
The statement Of facts. should have written
before, but for lack Of time.
do not remember to have seen 1t mel
tioned In any Of your recent articles that the
Issues Of the Wisconsin banks had been
divided into two classes, one Of which, com.
prising some seventy banks, ia currency, aud
the other, includIng forty banks, Il not "cur
5encN," but "stumptail," or whatever you
please to call 1t, its price varying in the mar
ket from 10 to 60 cents, according to the
price Of stocks. None even Of that, however;
by the CompholIer's Inst statement, was
worth less than 50 cents, and some of It was
worth 50 cents. These notes should be
thrown entirely out of the question In an1
comparison Of Wisconsin money with other
for they are not "currency" in any proper
sense.
The bills now current arc guaranteed to bt
received at par TIL the first Of December, moi
BY few banks and merchants in one city O
the State, but by m association Of leading
bankers from all parts Of the state, backed bJ
the Milwaukee Chamber Of Commerce and
the Merchants Association. If there Is any
virtue in human nature, they are no more
likely to be discredlted than the rebels are to
subdue the Federal Government.
As to security, it is not true, Us has beer
implied, If not directly asserted, that most O
our currency Is based on the bonds of secede.

DEATH OF COUNT CAvoUR,

AtNA4a n NE <V1HA NAteo0*
The telegraph brings us word that Count
Cdyour, the Premier Of Victor Emanuel, is
dead. This is q loss to European states
manship and diplomacy from which nei-
ther will speedily recover. It is q loss to
the King Of Sardinia and the cause Of con-
stitutiona1 government in Italy, thAt may
involve both in irretrievahle disaster. Ca
vour, for many years the fast friend of
representative government, the freedom of
: the press, liberation in religion, education
Of the people, Italian unity and Italian m
dependence, has occupied the middle
ground between the party Of Mazzini and
the supporters Of Austrian despotism
which gave him hold alike upon the
friends ofa monarchy, and the advocates
ofa Republic pure and simple. He abused
his inhuence..with neither, but, on the con-
trary, bending all his great energies to the
establishment in his native Sardinia, Of in
stitutions upon the model Of those Of Eng
land, he moulded all parties to his pur-
pose, and succeeded against opposi-
ton from the Church, opposition
from the Aristocracy, and opposition from
the Radical Democracy in making 6ardin-
ia and Italy what they are to-day. His
death is calamity. The factions that
be restrained by the great favor which
he enjoyed with the King and the middle
classes, will, ne fear, break loose; aud
when they engage with the flerceness and
and bitterness which have marked their
struggles heretofore, the Italian cause will
receive many wound that he living could
and would have wardcd of. The qualities
that he possessed in an eminent degree
coolness in danger, honest and patriotic
impulses, and, what is rarer still, that sa-
gacious common sense which enabled him,
without being eloquent OF brilliant, to
defeat the combinations against him,
are the very qualities which Italy most
1ucks. She will find thousands as self
sacrificing and as brave, and thousands
who exceed him in the splendor Of their
oratorical gifts; but not one in whom ex-
lists the combination Of qualities which
have enabled him to work ont the purpose
Of his life, and in the face Of obsta-
cles that would have terrified q weaker
man, lay the foundations Of great and
prosperous State
Count Camille di Cavour was born in
Turin, on the 14th Of July, 1903. He died
| in ripe manhood-the foremost statesman
| Of Europe. Italy will be much blessed If
she can preserve the fruits Of the great
work that he has done

held In one or more towns in each. To these
the people turn ont in their strength. The
ministers, lawyers, aud pbysiclans-and once
in while an editor-act as spokesmen on the

do 50 TO enlist is given after the pole has been
raised and the Stars and Stripes sent waving
from it's peak. In this manner we hear Of
companies having been. raised st Elgin. St.
Charles, Geneva, Batavia and Aurora, on Fox
River, and Plato, Canada Corners aud other
points west Of the river, gome Of which hare
been accepted and some OF which yet await
acceptance. Fifteen young men, composed Of
the best bone and muscle Of the vicinity, have
left st. Charles lately and enlisted In Col Wy
mans Regiment st Dixon, and are now In the
warmer climate. They we're too impatient to
wait for the enrolment Of their company

On this &. 543 ,s23 Of stocks, the circulation
is $2,oo4,540, the average value of which, at
the time Of Issuing the Comptro1er's last
statement was 80 cents on the dollar. The
notes Of twenty Of these banks arc par, or with.
in fraction Of cent on the dollar. Several
others Wil be advanced to the same standing
before the next statement is published. The
Comptroller has recently made call Of s per
cent On all Southern bonds, which, added to
the 2 per cent call Of April makes 10 per cent
to the II banks which did not respond to that.
Several banks have already responded to this
call. It was distinctly understood at the
Bankers Convention that the Comptroller
would make such calls, and that they would
be responded 10 by all the banks in the ac-
credited list, SO that BY the first Of December
their securities would be made good. Two
Of the banks included in said list hare since
been obliged to close their business The
good faith Of the bnnkers is shown In the fact
that they ire still received rs currency, and
any loss that may arise from defciencyof se-
curitfes will fall upon the bankers. The very
fact that the owners Of the accredited bsnks
took such pains to keep their notes
current, when, If they had been 4sthrown
ont, !" they might many Of them have made a
"handeoHe thing Of 1t by buying in their
o~n bills at half theiz faee, shows that they
preferred any sacrifice to dishonor; and the
fact that all respond to the Comptrollers call
and many make good a1l their securities at
once, shows that they intend to redeem their
pledges.
But this is not the only security which we
have for our banks. Each stockho1der-apd
