Legislature of the State of Michigan, entitled
IAN Act TO repeal 6apter l22 of the revised
statutes Of 1896 and the amendments thereto,
and TO provide for tho collection Of demands
against water craft" approved February 8. 1864,
and the act amendatory thereof That on such
complaint warrant was issued out OF said Court
to the Sheriff Of the County of Saginaw for the
seizure Of said Propeller Defiance, her taekel,
apparel and fnrniture and was made returnab BILE
ON the 18th day Of December, 1865, and the said.

own destiny, and that this overshadow-
ing despotism Of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau shall not be built up to override
the laws of the States, and to be used
as gigantic machine of plumber, or
as q means Of forcing upon commune
ties the peculiar ideas entertained by
fanatical Legislators. Let the negro
work out his own salvation precisely
as the white man does, and let the
Government be satisfied with its legit-
innate functions, without despising the
Constitution under which it exists
The clauses Of this bill which relate
to the jurisdiction of Bureau officials
and their intervention in the laws or
the courts of States are most danger
Gus innovations, and possible only to
be sustained by men who have lost all
clear perceptions of the relations of
the States and the Federal Govern
ment, and who are preparing the way
for consolidation and Capitalization
utterly foreign to the fundamental
principles on which this nation is es-
tablished The same may be said of
the clauses which extend military pro-
lection and jurisdiction over the Blu
reau officers, and close State tribunals
against cognizance of whatever acts
they may commit. Have these four
years of war so changed our institu-
tons that old familiar forms and pro-
cesses are of no avail Five years
ago no one would have been so au-
dacious as to hint at legislation which
is now dictated by caucus and hur-
ried through Congress under a call
for the previous question:" and
which is warmly advocated by legis-
lators who prate most loudly of their
devotion to popular rights. The war
was waged to force obedience to the
laws; in defense of certain principles
already well known to the people,
and to give full force to the Constitu-
ton. Its results are sad, indeed, if
the muniments of our rights are TO be
surrendered, and if crazy legislation
is TO take the place of calm and tenn
perate constitutional methods.

BIG FIcUREs-A correspondent of
the Detroit Daily Free Press in
lengthy and elaborate communication
from Muskegon, estimates the lumber
cut in that district last year at 1884,
100000 feet, and figures its total value
at s21 ,419, $1,000, which would be at
the rate of n trihe over s1l6.4l per
thousand feet, figure nearly if not
quite up to that which our manufac-
turers expect for the product of 1866,
now that the Reciprocity Treaty is
"knocked." The Muskegonites must
have the advantage of a stunning"
home market" or wonderfully in
fated scribe.
The writer, after some time spent in
preparing big head lines, miscellane-
Gus statements and statistical tables,
which show that twenty-six concerns
monopolize the lumber business of
Muskegon, and that the number Of
mills is II, with capacity for cutting
147 100000 feet, goes on to state that,
"This place Muskegon] takes the lead
in the manufacture of lumber in this
State. The value of last years cut
ting at the mills would be $2l ,4l9,-
1880. The capital employed is i'm
mense, and almost past finding out.
The valuation of the mills is 81 I6, 000."
Saw mills which manufacture yearly
lumber TO the value of twenty-eight
times their own cost are rare institu-
tons, and in this respect as in regard
to most matters considered in the
communication to which we refer, i
"our own correspondents" figures
don't lie, Muskegon must "take The
lead"
