From the speech made Ivy His Excellen-
lev the Governor in answer to that OF the
Sneaker of the Committee on the Budget,
and which is published in our number OF
the 18th inst. it will be seen that the mill
farv frDenSeS of this island have been re-
Iduced by no less than $4,000 yearly tor
the last 3 years, that is, that there has been
saved to the Island in that time on that one
Item $4,000 and that in.the face OF a rise
lin prices, surely not moderated when pla
Iced at 25 pr. CT. Now, give %istlce where
Justice is due /; we think that His ExceIlen-
lev Governor Birch deserves the thanks and
Acknowledgement of The community for hav-
irg carried out this reduction, the more so.
as the effectiveness of the military force has
i'm no way been diminished.
1t is also encouraging to see from HIS
Excellenry's speech that he fully acknOwl-
lodges that the total amount OF taxation is
high, and that it is desirable that a reduc
ton should be effected.
What with this acknowledgement and the
liability and skill with which His Excellency
has reduced the miIitary-expenses, we be-
gin to hope that the day is not far off when
they will be reduced in other branches OF
the administration and that, not in a Mig
gardly manner, as suggested by the Com
mittee of the Colonial Council, by pairing
off the small salaries of the petty-oficia!s
and the funds voted for the poor, but by
some comprehensive measure reducing the
great number of higher officials, and simpli-
flying the whole conduct of Government.

THE manner of Howell Cobb's death
was this: He was standing at the
top of the main staircase, leading from
the office of the hotel, talking with
his wife. Hi. daughter, who is also
staying at the hotel, was not present
at the time. Suddenly he put his
hand to his head, and uttering an
exclamation, cried: 4 am ilI-yery
ill!' He staggered against the bal
ustrade, sank upon the upper step and
partially tainted. Assistance was in
stantly obtained, and he was carried
into the reception room and laid up
on the lounge He never spoke after
ward, but in few minutes, with one
strong, convulsive struggle, breathed
his last"

SURPLICED SMALL Boy SINGERS
RULED OUT.-Wh hen the Episcopal
General Convention first met. last
week, in Trinity Chapel, New York,
the morning prayers were conducted
after the manner usual in that Church,
the singing being performed by com
pany of small boys, dressed in white
surplices, occupying seats in the chan
eel. This demonstration gave oHense
to many of the Low Churchmen, and
created quite breeze in the Conven-
ton. On the second day the per-
formance was about to be repeated, !,
when a number Of prominent Low
Churchmen-Bishop McIlvaine among
the number-protessed and the choir
was withdrawn, and no other singers
substituted.

the State. Here are some essential
/ things to be done:
1. If not already prepared, make
out at once full list of the voters OF
your respective precincts, classifying
them according to their political char.
acter.
,. Appoint committee, assigning
to one or more of its members the du-
ty of standing at the polls on election
day, and checking the names of the
voters on the list prepared as above
suggested, as they vote, while the 9TH
er members, provided with teams, are
sent for such Republicans as are like
ly to be laggard and neglectful.
3. Appoint large vigilance com
mittee to attend the polls throughout
the day, and challenge all persons
concerning whose right to vote there
is any doubt.
4. Attend to the Republican vo-
ters of foreign birth, and see that
their papers are legal. By the recent
decision of the Supreme Court, all
declarations of intention to become a
citizen, made before deputy Clerk of
the Court outside the Clerks office, are
Illegal and worthless. In all such
cases new papers should be obtained
from the Clerk himself
5. Make timely provision for an
abundant supply of tickets, and be
certain before using them that they
are accurately printed.
If these suggestions are generally
adopted throughout the State, we can
confidently Y rely upon an unpreceden-
ted vote for GRANT and CoLFAx, and
a majority such as will give every
Republican just cause to be proud Of
Wisconsin.
In conclusion, Fellow Republicans,
we again appeal to you to be unre-
remitting in your efforts Push the
breaking ranks of the false Democra-
oy with unabated energy. Press after
them as General GRANT pressed upon
the fugitive masses of LEES routed
army. Let the nearness and certainty
of your victory bring access of zeal
and enthusiasm. Make your triumph
an impressive one. PLACE WISCONSIN
IN THE FRONT RANK OF REPUBLICAN
STATES foremost in her staunch at
tachment to that great party which
has successfully maintained the ma
tional life through the most formidable
as we'll as the most wicked Of rebell-
ions, which has destroyed Slavery,
which has secured from European
powers a re recognition Of the Right of
Expatriation so important to the
American citizen of foreign birth, and
which, in the homely but weighty
words of the martyred President, af
firms "the right of every man to be
the equal of every other man if he

He then returned to Council Bluffs,
met an old trapper named Robinson,
and engaged TO 90 with him on trap
