Legislature.

The proceedings are unimponant. Most
of the time is taken up in useless resou-
tons and time-consuming amendments of
fered by those who design to make long
session; it Is wrong to send men to the
legislature whose time is not worth more
at home shan they get for services at Mad
ison. Another class are sent to Madison
as democrats, but who aim to do all the
damage they can to laws and business to
depopularize the republican party; and
still another class who cali themselves re-
publicans but arc in market for anything
that will bring them small offices or small
means Of living without work. This latter
class is growing in numbers every day and
may swamp the party and ultimately dam
age the country worse than ever democra-
cy did, Wed much prefer a reign of
Barstowism. Some members are no doubt
waiting hopefully to be bribed on one side
OF the other tofthe railroad mortgage ques-
ton, but we think neither party will resort
to bribery, though the capital invested on
both sides is greater than in the Land Grant
matter in So, when million was djstribu-
ted to Governor, members and editors.

THE HERALD.
AHcAsrET, WIS. THURSDAY, JAN. "a, 1861


We have nothing from Madison later
than Monday. though il is probable no y.
S. Senator has yet been elected. The Re
publieans remain divided about as before,
Washburn being slightly in advance. The
circumstances and times are favorable to
Judge Howe, as the tendency among sbaky
or doughfaced republicans is to back down
as far as the public mind can possibly al
low--dowe receiving the entire benefit
But for the republican masses, many of the
party leaders would be glad to descend 10
even a lower grade than Judge Howe, per-
haps so low as Crittenden or Bell. In
deed, there is heavy element in the party
which would be glad to replace Washburn
on the Committee Of 33 with Corwin or
any other quarter breed-one that would
favor the Clittenden amendment. This
would favor the scheme to repeal the Per-
sonal Liberty Law Of Wisconsin, and thus
make our people despised 10 the South fol
our truculency and render us mean and con
temptible in the eyes of the world.
We do not think Gov Randall stands
any chance, from this very fact, that the
two opposing elements in the Republican
party are more fully represented in Wash
burn and II, we, the fayors for Randall be
ing merely personal, and though fergent,
really belonging to Washburn. In all
probability, new candidate representing
the Washbum and Randall element, will
be taken up and elected.

Hard on Lawyers, Clients and
Judges.


Tie law Of Vermont is that every aitor-
nev. at request of his client, shall give a
written opinion upon the case in litigation
and if through neglect, incompetency or
Encouragement. The client suffers defeat OF
the law and Judgment fail to correspond
with such written opinion and the client
suffers damage, the lawyers shall bear the
loss.
1t might be well to enact such a law in
Wisconsin, with amendments as follows.
every client, at the request Of his lawyer
shall furnish in writing what he can prove
and also what the opposite party can prove
at trial. Also, as ia the case of the TO
man people against Paul for preaching the
Gospel contrary to law-when on trial be
fore Judge Felix who was an old who're
monger, said Paul, being his own lawyer
he managed to conyicJ the Judge Of half {
dozen crimes; whereupon His Honor
Judge Felix, arose with delirium trcmble.
and said to lawyer Paul, "Sir, go thy way
for have other business; at convenient
season | viii call for thee" The amend
ment we propose is, that the client may
arraign the judge and convict him Of any
crime; in which event the client may g
his way and the judge 80 his way. Will
such amendments tho lawyer can recove
damages of Client for misrepresenting hi
case in nine times out Of ten; and no judgt
could be found of sufficient moral characte
to preside. We think there would be nj
client, lawyers nor judges.

The Judicial Bullgine Reversed.


tits understood that the charge of Judge
Smally, one of the Federal Circuit Judges
of New York, to the Grand Jury of his
circuit, has a vastly wide meaning. 1t
speaks the temporary mind Of the U. S.
Supreme Court in full Bench, to-wit.
That all who rebel or raise their hands
against the Union are guilty of treason;
that the people of South Carolina are
traitors and the penalty is death; that in
a rebellion the co-operators and active
sympathisefs are as guilty as those in arms.
BY this decision the President may order
arrested at any moment the secession Sen
ators and Members Of Congress, and all
Others who have spouted treason. This
decision was no doubt hatched in the belly
of the Federal Court like the bred Scott
decision, though for an opposite purpose.
The country has come to be governed by
q sort Of Judicial Inquisition, which some
times works for slavery, sometimes against
slayery-for the Union,against the Union
every which way. just now this Inquisi-
tiop DEGREES that Lincoln shall be President
thus in apparent conformance to the
popular will; it may next decree against
his administration, against tbs Union,
against any lRw Of Congress. # We mis-
take not, however, SO far as any near COM
ang decisions Of the Federal Courts are
concerned, the secessionists apd the very
institution Of human slavery are to catch
particular thunder from the Judicial bar
racks. That Judge Miller and Booth will
be in loving communion before six months,
we entertain not doubt; this day, de-
erepid old Chief Justice fancy would swal-
low every line Of his Dred Scott decision
if he only had a case Of the right kind on
hand adapted to tie digestion. We ad-
snire the treachery but despise the traitors
who Erst undertook BY Judicial decision 70
transform the American government INTO q
grand slavery empire, but failed, and now
give Us unlnistakable signs Of usirg the
same means to put down the shareholders
rebellion, aud thereby fix liberty as the
everlasting rule Of ogr government May
God bless the treachery but may heaven
leiect the traitors

-rlttenden's Amendments De-
feated-b

1t is understood the Resolutions, known
as the Crittenden Amendments, were killed
in the Senate on the 9Th, by substituting
CLARK amendment, which declares that the
Constitution oughtto be obeycd rather than
amended; the vote on adopting Clark's
Substitute was 25 to %; the Crittenden
amendnent was the most nischeyious con-
triyance ever ohered--the design being to
destroy the effect fthe republican triumph,
and yet leave the slavery question more I'M
settled than before. ClaFk's amendment
reads as follows:
"Resolved, That The provisions of the
Constitution are ample for the preservation
of the Union and the protection of all The
material interests ofthe country; that il
needs to tie obeyed, rather than be amend
ed, and that an extraction from our present
dangers is to be looked for in strenuous eff
forts to preserve the peace, protect thepnb-
lie property, and enforce the laws, rather
than ia new guarantees for particular inter
ests, compromises for particular diificutieS,
concessions to unreasonable demands.
"Resolved, That all attempts to dissolve
the present Union or overthrow or aban-
don the present Constitution, with the hope
or expectation OF constructing new one
are dangerous, illusory, and destructive
that, in the opinion Of the Senate Of tho
United States, no such reconstruction il
practicable, and, therefore to the mainten
ancc of the existing Union and Constitution
should be directed all the energies of al
the departments Of the Government, anc
the efforts Of all the good citizens

FINANCIAL EFrEcTs.-The general bust
ness Of the city, and Of the Northern States
generally, is improving. This fact arises
from two considerations: 1st, the satisfac-
tory state Of the money market, and Cd,
diminished fear Of the disunion movement.
The remark is quite common that business
will be good if the political troubles are
settled. and it will DO fair, even better than
now, if war is to be the order Of the future.
The opinion las become general that
secession will exhaust itself in time, and the
popular theory is that the faster the scces-
sicnists work the sooner will be the end OF
all the trouble caused by their movements.
Hence, on the procurement Of any and
every startling movement there is rise in
the Stock market and an ease in the Money
market. - Th0mpSo,l'S Reporter.

Ga1ena Daily Papers and the
Telegraph.

We noticed last week that in consequence
of the increased demand for news of late
the telegraph companies or monopolists
had raised theip rates-to prohibitory ex-
IRENE, as the daily papers of Galena and
Dubuque and their readers could not afford
to pay the new rates. We since learn that
the proprietors of the Galena Daily Id
oertiser have again made arrangements to
take daily despatches-thus enabling the
people of this large section of country in
bounds of Galena and the Advertiser's
circulation to get late ncws-by passing
the papers from hand to hand, for the
mails are scarcely a means employed to get
late news through the country. In the few
days Of news prohibition rates, fixed by
the Galena Telegraph Office, most Of the
anxious news Eeaders of this county had
turned their attention to Milwaukee for
news, though but few have as vet ordered
Milwaukee Dailies. The announcement by
the Galena 4AdoertiSer that arrangements
were made to take dispatches for that pa
per came JUST time to stop numerous or
ders for Milwaukee newspapers, The ex-
pertinent Of levying tariffs in the region of
prohibition is dangerous one for this sec
ton. Galena ought to be our resort for
news, but can only be retained as such by
low telegraph rates. Tie Galena Aduer-
tiser is taken by hundreds in this section
for lac news, and but for the news would
be abandoned for Milwaukee and Madison
Only by low scale of telegraph
rates at Galena, and resort to daily mails
from Galena through Grant County, can
that city remain the news market as well
as the regulator of business for this section
of Wisconsin. The M. d M. Railroad on
our north begets active competition for the
business Of this county, and in the snatter
of news the competition is active beyond
the BUSINESS energies. We offer these
hints to our Galena friends for their good.
