1t is bright June morning. The fresh

sun. A big yellow shouldered bee comes

his hum dies away, as if it were the note Of
a reed-stop in the ''swelp of church organ.
There is such confusion in the songs of the
birds that can hardly select the different
notes, so as to name their owners There
is great deal of birdsinging that is simply
what a weaver would call "illing." Rob

other faVoriteS furnish the wrap, color and

Soldiers Bounty Lands.
From the Alsbany Evening Journal.

Recruiting rendezvous are to be establish
ed throughout the States to fill up the
Regiments for which Officers have Just
been appointed. Congress meets on the
4th of July. The usual inducements for
enlistment will, we doubt not, be offered.
The American Soldier has received 100
acres o! Land for his Services in all former
wars. This Bounty will again he offered
And this raises question Of much Signif-
icance What is to be done with Conquer
ed territory The Rebellion is to cost our
Government untold millions. We do not
yet speak of coufScatons of Private Prop
erty though the expressions and ROBBERY
of Union Men in Rebel States may provoke
retaliation. But tho property of the States
that have recklessly seized the Govern.
ment Buildings and Money, may be right
fully confscated. Texas, for example, after
its War and other Debts were paid by the
Union, is at War with our Govern
ment. The Public Domain of Texas there
fore, should become "contraband OF War"
The rich Lands of that State should be
owned and occupied by the Soldiers who
fight for the Union. And such should be
! the disposition of all Public Lands in the
Rebel States. Possibly, in the progress of
the War, the Rebels may force upon the
Government the necessity Of sub-dividing

Death of Judge Crawford.

We regret to learn that Hon. SAMUEL
CRAWFORD, istinguished lawyer, and
former Judge Of the Supreme Court of the
State, died at Mineral Point on the 2Sth
uIt., of congestion of the brain, after a
brief illness, aged about 40 years. The
Milwaukee Press and Neacs gives the fol-
lowing sketch of his life;
Mr. Crawford was native of Ireland,
where he received classical education -
He removed to Galena, Illinois, in 1S40
or 1e41, and soon after entered upon the
study Of the law in the office of j. p.
Hoque; in 1914 he commenced the prac-
tice of his profession at Mineral Point, in
company with Francis J. Dunn and David
w. Jones. He very soon distinguished
himself at the bar as an able and astute
counsellor and an eloquent and efficient
advocate, and few years later was elected
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,
with Chief Justice Wilton and A. d.
Smith. He retired from the bench with
the defeat of his party. and in 1856 was
the Democratic candidate for Congress in
the second district, polling much more
than bis party vote. Few men at his age
have achieved more honor or exhibited
greater ability. His death is public ca
lamity and falls with crushing weight upon
an amiable wife and interesting family Of
young children.

REDUCING U. S. COMA man named
JOSEPH CoRD, was arrested in Milwaukee
on Wednesday of last week, by Deputy
u. S. Marshal GARL1cK, on a United
States warrant, charged with reducing the
weight Of American coin. The process is
said to be new one. By an original in
vention made in the shape of lathe, the
outside rim or milling of the coin was
shaved off, and another set of lines substi-
tuted, reducing the value from so to 90
cents on an Eagle" A quantity Of
tools, &C., were found and secured. Mr.
CoED is well known, and has heretofore
occupied a prominent position among the
respectable artizans Of Milwaukee.

The Spring Election.

On the first Tuesday OF next month the
people of Wisconsin will be called upon
to elect Judge of the Supreme Court, in
place of Judge Cole, whose term will
shortly expire. lie will be candidate
for re election, and we have not vet heard
of any opposing person in the field 1t
is probable, however, that one or more
gentlemen will contest the ground with
him. We have DO particular objection to
Mr.. Cole, but feel that his superior in
legal knowledge and ability could easily be
secured.
A County Judge for Manitowoc county,
and the various Town Offices are also to
be chosen on that day. We have heard
of several names in our village mentioned
for Judge, and understand that "cals"
are circulated for one or two. AS there
have been no Conventions called by either
party, the contest will undoubtedly be a
free fght-every man for himself The
electors therefore, can vote for their
choice, without reference to politics, and
without danger of being called "bolters'
after election. The election of such ,an
important officer as County Judge, on
personal, and not on party grounds, would
seem to imply an honest canvass on the
part of the different candidates and their
friends, but we regret to say that already
some of our prominent wire pulle,s are at
work, by suoterfuge and chicanery, to
carry the election of one of their number,
by any thing but honest means. We are
watching the manouvers of these gentlemen
and in due time will inform our readers Of
the result of our observations. We think
we will expose very large cat hid under
very small meal heap.
For Town Officers, the people should
be very careful in their choice. In their
selection of Supervisors, especially, they
should be governed by regard to their
own interests. The Supervisor system, at
best, is grand humbug but as long as II
is an established law, great care should
be exercised by the people in curtailing its
evils as much as possible. Our County
Boards-not only in Manitowoc, but in al
other counties-is generally controlled by
one, two, or three men, who concoct all
the plans, and make all the motions, leav
ing the balance to do the voting. A system
O. "you tickle me, and I'll tickle you
system is carried on, which generally re-
suits in the ticker getting the whole
oyster, and the ticklee the bare she'll. NJ
man who has ever watched the system
will deny this; and to put it down, The
people must elect men who have conscience
and regulations at stake, and who fee
that these elements are dearer to then
than the false promises of politicians anG
office seekers.

Result of the Peace CONGRESS

The Peace Conference which, has been
in session at Washington for several weeks
past, to endeavor to settle ouI present
national difficulties, has finally ajourred,
and made its report to Congress. The
plan which they agreed upon was Mr..
GuTHRIE's basis of adjustment, (Which we
published in last weeks Pieot) modified
by Mr.. FRANKLIN, of Pennsylvania which
is as follows: Involuntary servitude,
except in punishment of crime, is prohib-
tied in all territory north Of 36o30'.-
South of that line the status of persons
held to service or labor as it now exists
shall not be changed Neither Congress
or Territorial Legislature may prevent
the taking Of such persons in any such
territory cor impair the rights arising
from said relation" When any territory,
either North or South of the line, contains
population equal to that required for a
member of Congress, it may be admitted
on an equal footing with the other States,
with or without involuntary servitude, as
the people shall decide in forming its con-
stitutiou. -sa - -ss l.as- ID.
Leading members of the Conference
from the Border States, express satisfac-
ton with the above adjustment, but the
Virginia Commissioners left Washington
displeased with the result. They main
tain, however, that Virginia and other
States will not secede, if the plan is adopt
ed by Congress, unless coercion is at
tempted by Mr. LINcoLN's administration

BUSINESS PRosPECTs IN THE COUNTRY.
All over the Western Country we hear
the same complaint, Of gloomy prospects
for spring business. 1t is not generally
confined to Chicago, Toledo, Milwaukee,
Detroit, and other lake ports, but villages
and hamlets cry the same tune. The
Toledo Times says February is nearly
passed away the month which uniformly
in the past has seen our business men set
their stakes fer the current business year
the month in which new combinations
were formed, and new flags hung to the
breeze. What have we seen thus far
Not a new card has made its appearance
scarcely; no new arrangements are in
contemplation ; scarce a business man is
ready to make move in the line Of in
creasing business prospects-no discreet
man is satisfied with the looming up of
the immediate future, while all-all comes
from the election of LINCOLN and the cul-
mination of the /" irrepressible dogma,
