Freedmen and Southern Education.

General Howard, in his report as
Commissioner of the Freedmen /
Bureau, presents very sncopraging
series of facts He says:
One year ago there were on duty
in the Bureau one hundred and forty
one commissioned officers, four hun
dred and twelve civilian agents and
three hundred and forty eight clerks.
Now there are but fifteen officers,
seventy one agents and seventy-two
clerks. The clothing and rations
then issued to the destitute cost on
an average 500, 200 per month. Now
no such supplies are issued except to
the sick in hospital. Instead OF
twenty-one hospitals, forty dispen-
saries, eghty-fve surgeons and FIVE
thousand four hundred patients, there
are now but two hospitals, no dis
pensaries, five surgeons and five
hundred and forty-one PATIENTS
transportation and stores were then
furnished at cost of s24,840 per
month now no transportation or
ders are given. SO long as the edu-
cational and bounty divisiors of the
Bureau continue it will NJ De prac-
ticable to make further l Iction of
the force. The only hospitals now
kept up are ut Richmond and Wash
ington The special relief fund was
drawn upon during the year to the
aytent 0f 500 CAT for cI0thinr and
food. The great mass of freed PEG
pie are new self-supporting, and q
great many have gone into business
on their own account. The hostility
to schools and teachers has in great
measure ceased. There are now q
118 schools, 2,455 teachers, and III
522 pupils within the jurisdiction OF
the Bureau. The freedmen them
selves raised and expended last year,
for school purposes alone, not less
than 100000

Trout Breeding-Experiments at Bos-
cobel and 0conomowoc.
From the State Journal.

The most beautiful and the most
delicious If fish is the -peckIed brook
trout, ia the catching Of which ang-
lers find their most enjoyable sport
and in their eating aplcures expert
ence the keenest pleasure Of tickled
palates. These speckled beauties
used to be quite abundant in some
parts of this State, but their mum bers,
of late years, in the settled regions,
have been sadly diminished. Con-
siderable attention has of late been
given to their propagation, in con-
nection with which the question has
been raised whether they will thrive
in hard or lime water, or only in soft
water, as has generally been suppos-
ed. Experiments seem to indicate
that they can be introduced aud
propagated without difficulty in hard
water; the following letter, received
from Mr.. Palmer, Of Boscobel, some
time since. but mislaid, being appar-
emily quite conclusive on the subject.
He says:
EDITORS STATE JOURNAL In sum-
ming up the State Fair, you and the
committee OF award pay me q high
compliment, but express q doubt
about trout being raised in hard wa
ter. This idea seemed to be gener-
ally entertained on the fair ground
Now, as l feel good deal Of inter
est in this branch of farming, | wish
to try to correct this impression.
Stephen III. Ainsworth, Thaddeus
Norris and Seth Green, all practical
cultivators of several years expert
ence, say that trout will do well 10
either bard or soft water. In this
immediate section nearly all of oul
brooks have some trout in them, anG
formerly had large numbers, and ye
| do not know of single branch 0
soft water in this part OF the state.
Now, Mr.. Editor, make you thi
offer if you will visit my ponds il
the spring, and l don't show you
hundred thousand trout living in q
hard water as there is in the State
you shall have the privilege Of catch
ing from my ponds nice Suing o
such as | had on the fair ground, s.
you will be certain Of feast Of tn
eye, or the appetite, or both.

Our Gold Abroad.

The statistics show that from 1866
to 1869 we exported nearly 5000, 600
OOO OF specie from the country, not
counting our gold and silver curren-
cy which went To Canada, and our
gold and silver which was shipped or
Struggled to Europe and from the
Confederate States during the war.
1t is safe to say that during the peri
cd mentioned we sent at least $780,
600, 600 in specie out Of the country
one way or another. But we did
not feel the drain, because we re-
placed it by our legal-tender carren-
cy, which has ever since performed
all the functions of specie. We were
thus enabled, by the substitution Of
paper money for gold, to send abroad
just so much gold as our paper dis
placed. In other words, the use of
the legal-tender gave US the COM
mand of to much additional capital
in the money Of the world, which
we would otherwise have been COM
PEELED to borrow at high rates of in

nels of commerce abroad this capital
also created such 8 plethora Of mon
ey in the continent Of Europe as to
enable us to float a large part Of our
debt abroad IL also corresponding
ly enhanced prices. thereby giving
US good markets for our products
A single instance Of how this deport-
alton of our specie affected the for
eign markets will suffice: la 1862 3
the Bank Of France had but $780,
100000 of cash and bullion in its
vaults whereas in 1868 it had S254,-
764 $50, and much larger amount
at the present time. The specie in
the Bank of England has also largely
And so has the specie in

financial position would not be near

Damages for Injuries from Defective
Highway.

The La Crosse Leader reports a
verdict Of $4,000 rendered by Jury
there in favor of one Mrs. Shadduck
against the town of Clifton, Pierce
county. Ii says
"The suit for damages in consider
alton of injuries received by Mrs.
Phoebe Shadduck, by reason OF de-
fective highway, which injury result
ed in amputation of leg. The case
was first tried in Pierce county, and
verdict Of $1,000 given for the de-
fendant. 1t was tried in this city.
before Judge Flint, last December,
and a verdict of $4,000 rendered,
which at this new trial is increased
to $4,000 Clifton is a wealthy
town, but if this rate Of increase con
tinues, its tax will interest the peo-
pie. We presume the town will now
settle it, and Mr.. Shadduck will
hardly exact the full amount award
ed him, if the defendants decline to
litigate any further"
The case should be warning to
towns and cities not to let their
roads, streets, bridges or sidewalks
get into such a condition as 30 be
angerous to life and limb.

Are We Ready for Specie Payment

What does resumption mean L
means one of two things: Either til,
appreciation, by .a'declaration of Con
gress, of our greenback and Nationa
bank-notes nearly thirty per cent
as compared with gold, or their ap
probation to that extent by contra
diction. Those who favor the'appre
citation of the greenbacks by declara
ton Of Congress resuming specie pay
ments, are such men as Mr.. Greeley
Mr.. Sumner, Mr.. Maynard, and, we
believe, Mr.. Garfield. Those who
favor its appreciation by contraction
are such men as Mr.. McCulloch, Mr.
Spaulding. Mr., A T. Ttewart, many
OF the New England members OF
Congress, aud the great capitalists OF
New York and Europe represented
by the New York World, Journal OF
Commerce, and other free trade and
hard money journals. AS to resump-
ton by legal appreciation of the
greenbacks. as we have shown re-
Deatedly, it would only end in anoth-
er suspension, after a trial of few
weeks. As respects resumption by
contraction, it would be simply the
humiliation Of so much greenback
money, now serving in the place of
gold, which we would be compelled
to impor: in large quantities from
Europe, probably in exchange for
still more bonds sent out of the coun-
try, or for merchandise, sacrificed at
ruin6us prices. 1t would be by the
withdrawal Of the very means at
home, which now enable us to meet
our enormous taxation, and which
we would have met with far greater
ability and cheerfulness were it not
for the contraction of the past FIVE
years. 1t would be accompanied all
over the country by rise il the val
ne Of money, the rate OF interest be-
ing checked by the inability of the
industry Of the country to meet the
enormous unheared of demands which
would be the result of the destruction
of our medium Of exchange. Con-
traction would not only call upon el-
cry individual debtor or holder Of
merchandise in the country to liqui-
date Immediately, but it would sink
our capital Al home. in the shape Of
the best paper money (our green
oack) the country has ever been
blessed with; and it would compel
US to borrow othermoney from abroad
in the shape OF gold and silver The
process wonld be one Of the most
coercive nature. 1t would compel
Us to destroy one species OF property
which is cheaper to use, and purchase
another, which Is more expensive
1t would be like burning up mans
factory and all the stock it contained
on which be had been paying no in

An Immense Vein of Iron Ore Discov-
cred at Iron Ridge-The Milwaukee
Iron Company in Luck.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin IAN

Some months ago the Milwaukee
Iron Company purchased of the
Swedes Iron Company the immense
body OF ore known as Iron Ridge
The deposit of ore there was known
to be immense, and it was found Just
as you see it carted through the city,
very fine, and lying so that it had
only to be sheyeled, as gravel would
he. from the bed to the cars. The
ore contains torty-three per cent. of
iron, but is so tine that much trouble
exists in smelling it by itself 1t was
believed by the officers of the Iron
Company that other deposits would
be fond here, and their investiga-
lions have proved most successful -
pom sinking shafts through the
idge there is found beneath shelly
ing thirty-tour feet thick Of solid
limestone, ga immense vein of iron
ore in all it's virgin purity. This
vein covers at least four hundred
acres, and from the edge of the ridge
grows thicker as it goes in. At
distance Of four hundred feet from
be side Of the ridge, the shaft went
through sixteen and half feet of ore
without going through the vein.-
This ore is much better than that
found in the bed outside. Indeed
several assays made show that the
the ore as taken out, contains fifty
six per cent. of pure iron. The rock
above cover the vein like shell, so
that it is easy to drift in and remove
the ore, and the grade is such that
the drift will easily drain itself, max
ing the work comparatively easy
The new ore will be excellent to mix
with that from 4he bed, and giving
the company the best Of iron. This
discovery is a strike which the Mil
waukee Iron Company scarcely ex-
pected to make; but increases very
much the value of their purchase,
gives them, without question, the
most valuable bed of iron ore in the
world.

~A New York dispatch says ::
cit is understood that the President
considers the present condition Of
our finances most favorable to a
speedy return to specie payments,
and 10 his forthcoming message will
urge such measure upon Congress,
He is opposed to all tinkering with

such tangled reduction of the public
debt will then have been effected as
