gen. Butler ON Reconstruction.

Gen. Butler addressed the Union
League Club of New York few even
ings since on the subject of "reconstruc-
tion."s This is now the all-absorbing
political topic, and the views Of Gen.
Butler thereon are worthy of considera-
ton. His first step would be the APP
pointment of military governors for
each of the lately rebellious States. If
a. considerable number of the people
seemed sincerely loyal, he would call up
on them to vote on the following propo-
sitions .-.e
1st. That hereafter forever there should
be neither slavery nor involuntary ser
vitude except for crime judiclally de-
clared.
I'd. That there cannot exist in the po-
litical system of the United States any
such thing as right of secession by q
State. -a.z s..a5-= 5rs.s
@ Sd. That no person, corporation, mum
cipal or other, or State, could or might
ever assume or pay any part of the debt
or claim by any person or corporation,
State on confederation of States incurred
or in any way arising from or in aid OF
the late rebellion. . a.-
1 4th That any person who had held
military, civil or diplomatic Office under
the so-cal1ed Confederate States, or eth
er of them, or been any agent thereof
during the rebellion should have no po-
litical rights in the States, but should
{ be and remain ALIEN HerV,"tto forever.
s' IF the people in a given State voted
generally to call convention with a
purpose of adopting the above propo-
sitions as q part Of their organic law,
their loyalty would be proved; but i.
the propositions failed to receive the
vote of the majority, he would take it
as sufficient evidence that the rebellious
spirit had not been sufficiently subdued
4 In the former case, as soon IS the state
government demonstrated its ability to
preserve the peace and protect all the
citizens, the military rule should be
withdrawn, and the State would bt
ready for the election of members o
Congress. In the other case, he declared
he would hold the State under military
rule as belligerent, until the influx o
Northern enterprise, capital and senti
ment brought in by our brave soldier
coming there to settle, and by GU
school teachers educating the. coloreC
citizens of the United States therein
dwelling had so far changed the feeling
of a majority Of the people of sue
State that it was in fit condition to be
come State OF this Union, whether tn
time needed for this purpose was on
year or a century, 20
In giving his reasons for the thir
proposition above mentioned, to be sub
mitted to the people OF the State as
test of their loyalty, he said the return
ing States will be encountered with Ok
legations contracted by lighting agains
the Union, aud it was necessary to PR
vide against any possibility of these oil
legations being assumed by our govern
nent. On this point he said.

JonE STUART MILL on SUFFRAGE.-
John Stuart Mill, interrogated by the
electors at. Westminster, England, as to
his views on various public questions,
thus defines his position on the SUI
frage:
Il would open the suffrage to all
grown persons, both men and women,
who can read, write and perform sum
in the rule Of three, and who have not,
within some small number of years, re-
ceived parish relief. At the same time,
utterly abominating all class ascenden-
cy, l would not vote for giving the suf-
frage in any manner that any class, even
though it be the most numerous, could
swamp all other classes taken together.
In the first place, think that all con-
siderable minorities in the country, or
in locality, should be represented in
proportion to their numbers. What
other adjustments Of the electoral sys-
TEN to q universal, or nearly universal,
suffrage might prove practically the
best adapted to secure to every portion
OF the community it's just share of in
fluence, while preventing any class from
acquiring an unjust degree, OF prepon-
derance either by means of property or
OF numbers, is question which may be
answered in many different ways, and
which will require much sitting and
public discussion before the best can be
selected. In the meanwhile should be
prepared TO support measure which
would give to the laboring classes a
a clear half of the national representa-
ton"

How sherman Reviews his Troops.

A correspondent in North Carolina
writes as follows
"Gen. Sherman conducts review as il
he would rather have been engaged in
any other kind of business. On this OCCa-
sion he sat on his horse throughout the
whole affair, but he seemed all he while
to be wishing it was over. ltappears to
be necessary with aim to do several
things at once. Ono thing at q tune
does not afford occupation enough for
his restless nervous mind and body.
While the troops are going by he must
be carving on 3 conversation, or SmOk-
ing or fdgeting in some way or anoth-
er. He keeps general officers and Colo
nels, and color bearers in g painful state
OF suspense for fear he will forget to
salute them or the flag they carry.
Once in while he does. Very often he
looks up lust in time to snatch off his
hat rs the person or object to be saluted
is across the line laid down by military
etiquette And the way in which he
puts that hat on again! With jerk,
and drag, and jam. as Il 1t were the

Extension Of the Chicago & Milwaukee B. R.

1t is now understood that WIN. B. OGDen
the Railroad King of the North West, IS de-
cidedly in favor of the extension of the above
road, at an early day, from Milwaukee to
the foot of Lake Winnebago. The extern
sion will run through very productive
portion of the State, as yet destitute ofrall-
way facilities; and will of course connect
with the Waupaca road, in due time form
ing a continuous line by the way of Stew
ems Point to the upper end Of Lake Super
ior. j5ras1 a.. ..4 ..s
The construction of this road from Mil
waukee to Menasha and Appleton is of vast
i'm portance to the Lower Fox River Valley
and the country north west of us. az we'll as
the region between the River and Milwaukee
The way traffic and travel will support
road as soon as completed, and our already
extensive manufacturing interests would be
largely augmented, and contribute mater
tally to the business aud prosperity of the
road. I5.z 7g'iou b13 roo9 gaa1- 20
I'VE suggest to the authorities of this city
and Menasha that they at once open corr
respondence with the people interested III
the counties of Calumet, Sheboygan, Ozau
kee, Washington. etc, ascertain how much
they will bond and tax themselves to aid in
the construction of this road, and then APP
ply to the Chicago & Milwaukee Railroad
Company to commence the work. The peo
pie to be benefited must contribute literally
and work vigorously to accomplish the end in
view They are able to do muIh, and we
believe they are willing and anxious to do all
in their Wer-ApptstOn Crescent. 81 !.

MEssRs. RprToRs: After considerable de-
lay, unavoidable on the part of the society,
the Wisconsin State Fair for 1865, TO be
held during The last week Of September, has
been located at GAINESVILLE, upon the grounds
lately known as camp Treadway. These
grounds are considerably nearer to the cen
ire of the city than those occupied last year
being less than half mile from the post
ofice-easly accessible even in hot wea-
tier, aud, in themselves, are scarcely sur
passed by any i'll the United States They
include as fue mile track for trials of speed
as can be found in any part Of the country,
and are to be well fitted up in every par
tioular. s sa5 b. are ge-.. --te j..
In view of the facilities afforded by the
superior race course, arrangements are
making for magnificent contest Of the fast
est thorough, bred ses-premiums larg e
and competitions open to the world. 1t is
also the purpose of the society to institute a
more thorough trial Of agricultural imple-
ments and machinery than has ever been
made in this state
With unusually fine crops of every sort,
with peace restored to our long distracted
country, and with such a programme as is
about to be issued, there would seem to be
nothing in the way of our holding the most
successful exhibition ever held in Wiscon-
sin since the organization Of the state Agri

west which is not yet more than one fourth
occupied. The foundation for large wool
en- factory is just laid, which, it is expected
will be completed the present season. There
are other branches of manufactures, but we
have mentioned the most prominent. The
Reaper factories sustain a population of
about $500. And we venture to say that
the mechanics and operatives of no other
manufacturing establishments in the coun-
try are in better or more comfortable cir
cumstances than these. The most of them
have neat and comfortable residences and
large and well cultivated grounds which
they own. South Rockford, we understand is
mostly peopIed by this manufacturing pop
uIation, and it is pleasant and growing
portion of the city.
But few hours in a city of ten or twelve
thousand inhabitants, is not time enough to
get full knowledge of all points. The
place is evidently growing with steady
and healthy growth. We noticed on the
principal business streets number of fine
brick blocks going up, of much architectu-
raj beauty. We notice that in nearly all
the new blocks, the beautiful Milwaukee
brick is used for fronts The brick in COM
mon use is of the cid, glaring red descrip-
ton, that is painful to eyes that have grown
accustomed to the softer and more grateful
influence Of our crean-colored structures
We are not in the habit of prophesying, but
we venture to predict, that if the people OF
Rockford go on as they have begun; increase
their manufactures, improve to the last
pound, the vast water power they have yet
in store, they will have the pleasure of see
ing their beautiful city qptstrip all rivals,
in the race for wealth, population and pros
perity. Ute 7at il

We have all around us, evidences of the
terrible effects Of the war upon tie rebels.
Men who were worth $500, and never
did al hours work before the war, now
have to aoork for living. 1t does me good
to see them work. Their negroes have
about all left them. On some of the plan
tations their old masters have hired them.
There are many plantations that won't be
worked that are growing up to weeds

or have died Of wounds and sickness, in
this war; If the war had lasted six months
longer there would not have been man left

themselves. They must suffer the conse'

GRAIN MAKET.-We have nothing new to note in
the grain market. The unfavorable harvest weather
in Illinois and parts OF other northwestern states
,ccasioned temporary excitement in wheat and
established advance in prices for a short time, but
settled weather would soon lessen confidence in pr-
;es and the gain lost. The prospect for unpre-
cedented yield OF oats, occasion timd feeling among
ouyerS, and prices continue to recede. a.s
We note sales of inferior to fair spring wheat at
75a90c and 95ca$1 for extra. Oats are selling to the
zeal trade, at 84a35c New barley OF prime quality
would bring 60a65c.
PROVISIONS continues in active request
and sales are 17a1sc. Eggs, tic. The receipts 81
new potatoes are quite liberal and rather in excess
Of demand. Buyers reluctant to-day at Doc and
some dealers do not pay over doc. Cheese 1Sal3c.
