Of troops sent to effect the release Of
the party recently captured by the
bandits on tue Plain of Marathon.
about eighteen miles to the northeast

intelligence of the murder of the en-
tire party by the outlaws. The capturc
ed party consisted of Lord Duncaster,
and Secretaries Hubert and Boyel, of
the British and Italian Legations, re-
spectiyely. The bandits some days
after the capture released Lord Dun
caster on parole, for the purpose of
procuring ransom for himself and com
panions, but soon after the outlaws
departing, it is supposed, for a favor.
able response to their demands, and
possibly to ensure an escape from the
scene Of their capture, murdered the
remaining prisoners. Besides the
murdered secretaries the party includ
ed, it is said, one lady. The inteli.
gence from the scene of the murder
communicates but the bare fact of the
outrage, but last information received
from the troops represented them as
about surrounding the outlaws. 1t is
supposed they are occupied in pursuit.
Great excitement prevails at the Eng
lish and Italian Legations, and on re-
ceipt of the message an additional
force was at once dispatched to secure
the bodies of the murdered persons.

COMMUNICATION.

Editor Repu6lican-I notice from our
different state papers that the questio n as to
who shall and who shall not be candidates
for the nominations for Congress in the
several Congressional Districts of this State
is being talked up 10 some extent. 1t is
generally understood that those who have
been in four and six years will step one side
and give chance for new hands at the
bellows. Gen Paine of the First declines
a IRE nomination Gen. Washburn of the
Sixth publishes good letter declining a
denomination. l have heard that Gen.
Cobb of the Third declines a denomination
ALSO and how it is with Mr.. Sawyer of the
FIT District am unable to say. He is now
going on his sixth year in Congress and has
made good representa- tive. The fact of so
many declining a denomination in other
di' tricts will have its effect in the Fifth and
should he be a candidate for g re-nomina-
ton the chances are that new man will be
chosen. There is named in this connection
Isaac Stephenson, of Oconto County, Ses-
sions and Brown of Waupacca, Fisher,
Washburn, Ritch, Geary, and Others of Win
nebago; and Curtiss and one or two others
of Brown Stephenson seems to be the
leading man, and win in all probability be
the successful one. He has served several
terms in the legislature, is familiar with
legislation and parliamentary law, and is
His being largely interested In numbering
and the manufacture oflumber will make
him m influential representative of that
interest. CIYIs.

EDITORIAL CONVENTION
ments are now in progress, through the
exertions of Charles Seymour, Esq j,
President of the Wisconsin Editors
and Publishers Association, for the
annual convention and excursion ID
June next
The convention meets at Prairie du
Chen on Wednesday, June 18th, and
after the usual exercises and business
have been gone through with, the asso-
citation, we learn, will proceed to Gin
ton, Iowa, by steamer, and thence to
Council Bluffs and Omaha From
Omaha, those who who desire will take
q tri over the Union Pacific Railroad
as far as Cheyenne, and probably to
Salt Lake city, if time will permit.
The arrangements are not yet fully
completed, and pc; haps the route may
be changed somewhat, but everything
will be done to make the excursion one
of profit and interest to all President
Seymour is we'll qualified by experience
and ability to plan and carry out an ex-
cursion, and we presume this one will
equal in its pleasant realizations any
previous one of the association.

MISCELLANEOUS.
There are number of inquiries that
can not well be included under any of
the foregoing heads which will be an
swered here. Wheat does not rust.
w eevil and chinch bugs are unknown.
Grasshoppers occasionally become a
scourge in some parts of the country,
but in series of years their depreda-
tons upon crops have certainly been
less than five per cent. per annum
throughout the territory. The people
of Colorado are generally enterprising
and wide awake The colonists will &C.
cupy new grond with very few of the
former settlers among them. There
need be no fear of trouble with Indians.
Money is worth two per cent, per
month upon real estate security. Loans
prudently made are absolutely safe.
There are national banks at Denver and
Central, and private banking houses at
those places, Georgetown and Chey-
enne. The country is admirably adapt
ed to the culture Of sugar beet. The
crop is wonderfully large and very rich
in saccharine properties. Peppermint
and other essential oil herbs will also
prove profitable crops; irrigation plac-
ing their culture entirely within control
of the planter. 1t might be well for
the colonists to bring stock from the
states. Horses and mares, the latter
preferable, can be purchased in eastern
Iowa at 500 to S125 per head. Three
year old heifers in southwestern Iowa
and northwestern Missouri at SIS to
SIS each. Good farm wagons can be
bought in Chicago for $40 to SIS each,
shipped to some starting point on the
Missouri river, whence a party OF
twenty or more men, properly armed
with competent and experienced
leader, can drive teams and herds
across the plains without much danger
of loss. Some good blooded stock
horses, cattle and sheep, for breeding
purposes, should be brought by al
means Arsyhire COWS and Devon
bulls would be good investment
Fruit trees, grape. vines, shrubbery, and
all kinds of plants can be put out this
spring. Ground will be in readiness
Mail matter for coonists on the ground

The MILITARY BILL. = Senator

pared by the Senate Military Commit

army to $4,000 enlisted men, abo ishes
The grades Of General and Lieutenant,
as soon as a vacancy occurs, fixes the
pay of these officers, the former at
twelve, and the latter at ten thousand
dollars per annum, reduces the number
of Major Generals to three and Brig
adiers to six; and does not provide for
mastering out superfuous officers, ex-
cept upon their application, and then
allows them one years pay. The pay
of officers is the same as in Logan's
bill. 1t makes it unlawful for an army
officer to hold civil Office

A BILL TO ENFORCE THE 18TH
AMENDMENT.-The Fifteenth Amend
ment has now become the law of the
land, but its enforcement by some of
the States is by no means so certain.
In nearly every southern state the OPP
position to the amendment is most bit
ter: and the same feeling extends to
not few of the northern states. This
is true of Ohio, New York and New
Jersey, where the democrats fought its
passage with relentless hate In view,
therefore, of the deep opposition shown
it, we are glad to see that bill pro-
viding for the enforcement of the
amendment in the several States has
been drawn up in Congress. 1t con-
tains twelve sections.

The effect Of the new apportionment
bill which recently passed the louse
of Representatives is TO decrease the
representation of Vermont, New York
Massachusetts and Maine, and to in
crease it in Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas,
Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota,
Alabama, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
Under this apportionment Wiscon-
sin will be entitled to eight representa-
aives-an increase Of two. A strong
effort will be made in the Senate to
defeat the bill, but the western mem
bers will undoubtedly do their utmost
to secure the passage of the measure,
equalizing as it does the representation
in due proportion to population.
