A New idea.
1t would seem from the action of the
common council on Monday evening that
the marshal needs to be instructed by that
body when he shall or shall not enforce
the laws Of the city. Is not that queer
way Of doing things? First pass an ord
nance. and then by resolution till the mar
shall to obey it. Is this extra legislation
necessary? Does the legislature of the
state pass law and then resolve that Of
fcers affected by it shall govern them
selves accordingly ? We do not under
stand such to be the custom. The passage
age of law implies all who come within
its provisions shall obey it or suffer the
consequences. Why should the marshal
of this city be made any exception to the
general rule? There is an ordinance re-
lating to the running at large of hogs and
it defines clearly the duties of the marsh
al in the premises. What more is want
ed Must he wait until the council tells
him to move, before he complies with the
law? Surprising he sees some person com
uniting breach of peace, must he, Or will
he, wait for the council to meet and in
struct him to arrest the individual so often
ding, before he acts in the matter? One
proposition is just as absurd as the 9TH
er. Our only wonder is that the council
should have spent their time SO foslishly
as they did, in the solution of SO simple a
question.

All who are fond of such entertainment
will be richly repaid the trifing expense
of attending the German theater on Mon
day evening next. A splendid programme
is announced, as will be seen by reference
to another column. Besides their regular
theatrical entertainment, which is always
of the highest order, they will give mag
ni6cent gymnastic performance, which is
alone worth the price of admission. All
should patronize this home institution.

Look To Quality

As paramount consideration, reverse the
rule making a low rate of premium the
chief essential; for the CHEAPEST rata
is too frequently only an index of the.
POOREST Insurance.
As our rates are graduated by the laws
of compensation, after ample experience,
the propriety of Insurance extends with
equal force to the safer classes of property
it does to those of more hazardous ma
ture The safer the risk the lower the
percentage-the greater tho hazard the
higher thu premium. SO project your

the memory Of our departed friend.
Dispatches to Gov. Harvey have been
received, confirming the death Of Capt.
Pease, Of the 10th regiment. He was well
known, and formerly engaged in business in
this city. but has for the past three years
resided In Watertown. His death adds
enc more to the old Milwaukee Light
Guard, and in him one sf its best. The
members of the old Guard may well feel
proud of the manner in which be met his
death but to his family and friends all
honors cannot atone for bis loss. His stsrl-
ing integrity and many fine q ualities gain
ed him friends wherever be was known and
all must deeply deplore bis fall"
We trust Mr.. Hall may succeed in re-
covering his remains, and that they will be
brought here and find final resting place
among his numerous friends and kindred.

US by law. Our intercourse should be pleasant,
our proceedings harmonious, and Justice i'm

Corporal Law, of the Pulaski Guards,
who did not leave Fort thunderbeldt until
after the flag was hauled down, brings
the intelligence of the successful event.
The surrender was unconditional. Sew
en- large breaches were made in the south
wall by the federal battery of eight Par

bette guns on that side were dismountsd,
and also three of the classmates having
but one gun bearing on that point.
A clear breach was made in the maya
zine. The balls used were conical, and
were propelled with such force that they
went clear through the wals at nearly
every fire.

selegraphed the previous evening that no
one could stand upon the ramparts for a
single moment, and that over one thous-
and large shells had exploded within the
fort,

To prevent such result, it proposes

THE GOLD MEDALs.-Sometime last summer, Gen. Wm. E. Ashley of this city, and Presi' dent of the State Agricultural Soclety, offered gold medal as premium to the lady who would weave the greatest number of yards of woolen cloth up to certain time. Regarding 1t as an excellent idea, we also offered another gold medal to the lady who would weave the next greatest number of yards. We had received letters stating that certain young ladies in the westerniportion of the State would strive Tar the medal but some of them became disbearted be- cause they could not procure wool, or rolls by the following, which we find in the Gazette of this city. it will be seen that Gen. Ashley has awarded his premium to Miss Anderson, ot Ouachita county. We are willing to abide by our offer and notify the young ladies to send in their claims either to this office or to Gen. Ash ley, and we will have both medals prepared at the same time. There are victories won at the freside, and patriotism exhibited by our women as gallant and walm as on the battle field. It will be a source Of eradication and pride for | these young women to show, in aiter years, that l in the war of the revolution they aided so nobiy in the great cause. aud that their efforts did not escape honorable recognition.
