Fox AND WISCONSIN RIVER IMPROVE
Acknowledgements, of the Richland County
Republican, writes from Madison to his
paper:
The Fox and Wisconsin River improve
ment is also claiming share of the atten-
lion of members. Senator HaEelton oil
Grant, AMI ASsemblymsn Kuntz of Sank,
and Pease, of Marquette, have been APP
pointed as special committee to confer
with and obtain terms from the private
corporation now holding lien upon the
navigation of these rivers, and to take
such other steps as may advance the inter
ests of the State in their Improvement
need not say that this matter has fallen
into good hands The known energy of
Senator Hazelton, and the personal and
practical interests of the other members of
the committee, will dictate thorough
sitting of this matter. Richland County
is deeply interested in this project
There is something tangible about it, and
it affords opportunity for legitimate enter
prise.

No INCREASE OF CURRENCY The action
of the House on several propositions TO

THIS SACRED CoscfTT. fine First Baptist
Church was well filled last evening by tnusi-
cal audience, many of whom were attracted
not only by the well-known standing of the
singers who were to take part, but by desire
to hear Mr.. w. Il. Beckett, his first appear
ance in his native city for several years. 1t
would occupy more space .han we have room
for this morning to go into critical notice of
the several pieces upon the programme. 1t is
sufficient to say that Miss Burpee executed the
voluntary on the organ with much taste and
expression aud her accompaniment were
very pleasing Mrs Wetherbee was in fine
voice and delivered Con Mighty Pens with
her usual brilliant execution and Cherubini's
Ave Maria with great expression. The tro
from the Creation by MIS-. Weatherbee and
Messrs. Ehurston and Beckett called forth an
encore deservedly. Mrs. Ellison sang her aria
from st. Paul extremely well even for her, as
all are acquainted with her merits Mrs. Nor
cross only sung one in quartette which was
very well rendered. The duett "LAddio" by
Mrs. Weaherbee and Mr.. Beckett was one of
the most pleasing features of the programme.
Mr.. Beckett possesses q very fine baritone
voice, very resonant and clear in the upper
register and of good quality on the lower notes
1t is very flexible and musical, and we listen
ed to it with great pleasure. 1t was heard to
great advantage in the solo, "Jesus, Shepherd,
hear us" and in tho concerted pieces The
church is admirably adopted for concerts, its
acoustic qualities being excellent,

A REMoNsTRANCE.-It will be remembers ID
that short time ago (on Thursday May 10TH
meeting was held at the Board of Trade
rooms, participated in by the merchants ship
owners and ship. masters of this city, at which
Capt. G. G. Duncan of New York read the
leading features of Bill No. 1919, regulating
the shipping and discharge of sailors and the
victuallng OF vessels said bill being now
before Congress, and it was voted at said meet
ing that the bill had the hearty approval of
the meeting and Congress was requested to
pass the same.
remODstrance was afterwards drawn up
which stated that the meeting at which the
above vote was passed was smaller in numbers
and was passed by test vote of nine to three
a number of those voting in the affirmative
having no interest in the subject matter. That
he resolutions passed at the meeting do not
express the opinions of any large number of
the merchants, ship. owners or ship masters of
this district, and that after a careful considera-
ton and examination of the bill the remon-
strants.are convinced that its passage would
not accomplish any decided COOL to seamen,
but on the contrary would produce perm anent
injury to the best interests of the American
Merchant Service. The remonstrancs is sign
ed by ninety individuals and firms who are
ship-owners in this city and vicinity, and
twenty masters of vessels, and by sixteen own
ers of vessels in Brunswick.

This great line of road has recently excited
considerable attention. 1t extends from New
York city to Oswego on the banks of Lake On
tario, and passes through the rich and fertile
plains of Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, Delaware,
Otsego, Chenango Cortland, Onondaga, Cayu-
ga, Madison, Oneida and Oswego counties, in
many of which localities the produce of the
land finds but sluggish and scarcely remuner-
ative sale in the villages where it is grown.
Impressed with the advantages afforded by this
ready communication with New York, the
towns and cities upon the line. and its more
wealthy Inhabitants, have contributed sir mill
ions of dollars towards its erection; but as the
line is four hundred miles in length, such
capital is unequal to the great task of COM
plete construction, and the company seek to
raise the residue by the issue of first mortgage
bonds, payable in twenty-five years, and bear
ing an interest of seven per cent. in gold.
The security is unquestionab'e, as the line is
estimated to become the most profitable in the
State, and the remuneration is most liberal,
for it is generally believed by able financiers
that long before the period of repayment ar
rlves the rate of interest, by the accumulated
wealth of the people, will have fallen to four
per cent. The bonds are thus more adapted
to Investment than speculation The road
will make accessible to New York the flour
producing city of Oswego, passing through, on
its route to the Empire city, vast regions of
untouched timber lands, au immense and pro-
duct,ve milk, butter and cheese country, and
large and fruitful cattle district, and through
lands rich in agricultural produce of every
description; and it is thought that it will prove,
after full development, one of the most gener-
Gus feeders of the New York market that has
been promoted by railroad transit. The road
also connects with the Pennsylvania coal fields
by the Delaware and Hudson canal.
The road will also open new, magnificent
and healthful country for the residence of
New York business men; and oil er advan-
tages in travel, in economy of distance, only
few OF which we can mention here; for in
stance, there will be saved seventy miles from
Buffalo to New York, and fifty miles from o.
wego,, sixty from Syracuse, and from Rome
and Utica forty.
We have only space to refer to J. few of the
objects that will be achieved, and of the profits
to be earned by the production of railroad in
tercourse upon such route, but we are we'll
assured that if capitalists, aud those who have
money, desire to apply it to remunerative
purpose, they will not hesitate to purchase
bonds of such unusual and especial promise

Boston, June 2.-The House this afternoon
by sixteen majority passed with slight modfi-
cation the new bill offered by Mr.. Goodrich,
extending State aid to the Boston, Hartford g.

give up the Berdell bonds it now holds as col
lateral, to be used with an equal amount con-
tributed by the other bondhoders for the COM
pleton of the road to FshkIll, the State and
the others receiving instead an equal amount
of the bonds of the second mortgage. The
bill also provides for reorganization of the
company to meet the approval of the Governor
and Council, for satisfactory contracts to finish
The road within the amounts already named,
for the settlement of all claims and attach
ments upon the property, with the interest ac-
cruiug until July, 1872, by means of second
