Both houses have passed the river and

by the president on the lth. inst. 1t APP
propriates the sum of $2,0O0,O0O for the
fiscal year ending June 20, 1869, and the
year ending June 80, 1870, to be expended
for the repair, extension, preservation,
and completion Of works for the improve
ment Of rivers and harbors, under the di.
rectlon of the secretary Of war; and the
secretary of war is authorized to cause
such expenditures to be made SO as.best to
subserye the interests of commerce and
he Is requested to report to congress, at the
opening of its DeceIuber session, all expen-
ditures made under the provisions of the
act up to that time, in detail. Since the
people are obliged to pay the governmeu,
millions of dollars in the way of import
duties, We are glad to see that they are
likely to get some of it back again for in
tcrnal Improvements. IF congress would
further, devise some systematic plan anc
carry out large public works in conjunction
with the various States, the people would
like II far better tn n it's waste OF time
and money in trying to build up the radi
cal party in the south.

DISAPPOINTED OFFICE SEEKERS AT

The Civil Tenure law having been finally
disposed of, it was anticipated that the re-
movals and appointments to Office would
begin to be made in earnest. Accordingly.
to day, hundreds Of office seekers, now
here, 1ocked to the Capitol, and hung
around the Senate Chamber, anxiously and
nervously awaiting the arrival Of the Pres.
idents Secretary with his batch OF nomina>
tons. At about 2 O'Clock, Gen. Porter
made his appearance, and after depositiug
with the Senate his sealed packages of ap-
pointmems, he repaired to the Secretary's
office, and there placed list of the sans
for the public. In an instant grand rush
was made for this Office, and soon there
was scarcely standing room therein. Tha
reporters of the afternoon papers tried la
vain to secure copies Of the names on the
list, but tn, hungry, eager crowds rushed
in pellmell and made high time general
iy. 1t was amusing to see the expressions
Of the faces OF these people after the list
had been read. Of course none of the sue
cessful candidates were present, and all
were disappointed. The score or moro
persons seeking the same Office sought their
congressman, and each demanded expla-
nations of the why and wherefore. Pro-

there was much eommoion in the hote,

Political.

The state ana local clcctlOnS Oh tuc o'H
inst, we're somewhat mixed, as heretofore
republican counties went democratic. and
heretofore democratic strongholds went re-
publican. The radicals, by use of much
money and more lies succeeded in carrying
Connecticut and Rhode Island, but as the
workingmen are nearly all disfranchised in
the latter State,i is not to be wondered at
that the shoddy party carried it
We have not the space to spare to give
the entire particular of the result in all
the States, but will give few samples
from the way things went in our own, from
which the whole may bejudged:
Nichols, republican, is elected Mayor of
Fond du Lac. The city council is slightly
democratic. Fond du Lac county elects,
j. Mayham, dem., County Judge, by the
unexpected majority of 500,
In Watertown party considerations were
largely disregardcd. The democratic nom>
inee for Mayor, j. R. Buchanan, declined
to run, which left the contest between two
republicans, j. Richards. and G. Werlich,
the former being.elected by three majority.
The city council stands four republicans
and ten democrats.
In Waukesha county, Carney, democrat,
was elected judge. over Randlcs, republi.
can, by abou 240 majority.
In Oshkosh, Mr.. Potter democrat, was
elected Mayor, over McKoy, republican, by
226 majority. The republican candidates
for clerk and treasurer, aud the democ-a at
ic nominees for justice and school superin
tendent were elected. The new council
will consist of seven republicans and eigh,
democrats.
In Milwaukee, the democratic candidates
for city officers were ali elected without op,
position; Edward O'Neil, the accom- plish'
ed mayor, re elected. In that circuit, D.
W. Small, democrat, elected judge by q
large majority Aiber. Smith, indpend
ent, reelected County Judge of Milwau
kee county for third term.
In Kenosha county, |. w. Webster
demo rat, is elected County Judge, b,
from three to iour hundred majority owe
Petit, republican. The county gave
Grant 33G majority. The entire democrat
ic ticket was successful IN Kenosha cit,
with one exception. A democratic gain
Sam. Ryan, Jr., the able aud popula
editor of the App eton Crescent, demo
crat, has been re elected county judg
OF Outagamie county.
Ira w. Bird, democrat, will have ma
jority for county judge, of POO in jefferson
county.
l. Robert Wilson, democrat, is electet
judge=of Iowa county over John T. Jones
republican.
In our ncighboring county of Calumet
the democrats have done nobly, electins
their candidate, Judge Greening by abou
800 majority.
A spill. in the democracy of Dodge
county gave the victory to the republicans
who elected A. Scott Sloan county judge
The entire democratic city ticket il
Portage City, was elected with the excep
ton Of one alderman--the democratic can.
didate for mayor receiving Us majority.
La Crosse elected Chas. l.. Col
man, Republican, Mayor, by $40 majority
over J. ". Losey. This is Republican
gain of sos over last year. The Republi
cans also elected Orrin L. Smith, City
Clerk, the Assessor and two thirds Of the

you for your undisguised compliment; il
you mean it was not school exhibition like,

Such things we did. Now, if you mean

Have you distinct recollection of an exhi

children went upon the stage? Did you
speak of that institution in high notes of
praise, or not? Did the little boys and
girls in that exhibition sing love songs
Are you not sure they were very silly love
songs, too a? Did you condemn it much
On the contrary, you stood almost an iso
lated individual in piaising it. Do you
recollect that the feats there wcro acrobatic
and gymnastic, also, many of them? That
was your idea Of an exhibition, was it?
am glad ours was not exhibition-like. Was
not the trouble that we did not belong to
your side of the river, and that you felt q
little spiteful to see an audience of full 6OO
people enthus iasticaly praise our little
children and their exhibition? That is
what the community says, quite unanin,o US.

Too MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE.-Tne
following critic from the Appleton Gres-
cent, on recent performance of one of the
Appleton students, from Mantowoc, at the
junior exhibition, would seem to warrant
the conclusion that it would have been
much better for the young gentleman S
reputation and standing in his class, if he
had spent less Of his time dabbling in pol
ltics, and more of it in the pursuit of his
legitimate studies. For the future, the
young man had better leave part;zan poll
ties alone until he gets through with his
studies, and then if he wants to play the
demagoeue he can perform outside of the
college walls. Here is what the Crescent
