The Fund du Lac Journal states that
l.. Goldstuckcr Esq, of that city bas just
obtained decision III the Circuit Court
for Fond du Lac county which virtually de-
ciles that the law of last winter, establish
ing municipal courts--so far rs it attempts
to deprive Justices Of the Peace of Their
jurisdiction, is unconstitutional and void.
The case came up on Il writ Of certiorGyi,
issued ont of the Circuit Court in the case
of Isaac Oryis. Orvis had been arrested
upon II complaint for assault and battery.
and was brought before the Justice for trial.
Pending the trial the CoUrt Commissioner
issued a writ of hdJeaS corpus, and dis
charged said Orvis from the custody OF
! the Justice, upon the ground that the jus
/ ticc had not jurisdiction OF the person or

! Courts IN this city. The Circuit Court de
cidcd otherwise, ami reversed the order
made by the Circuit Commissioner. The

WixconSils Central RAILROAD d.

This road is now completed and regular
trains are running between Menasha and
Stevens Point. In speaking of the busl-
ness Of the road the Necnah Press says:
The Central Road, notwithstanding its
efforts and rapidly accumulating rolling
stock, fails to meet the public demand In
transmitting the immense quantity OF
goods constantly accumulating at her
freight houses in this place. Twenty-Five
car loads rolled westNardly yesterday and
several more flled to their utmost capaci-
tv, remained behind. This is business
far in excess of the most sanguine expecta,

Specie Payments.


Senator Summers new plan for Il re-
sumption of specie payment is to issue
every month ten millions of interest bear
ing legal-tender notes, similar to those that
were issued in 1863 and 1864, and to CALI
eel like number of greenbaeks, the pre-
ses, Shall bear five per cent interest, and
shall be paid in coin at the end OF
three wears, or converted into five per cent.
bonds, at the option of the Government.
Bv this means, Mr.. Sumner thinks, re-
sumption could be reached without shock
to business, or serious disturbance of prices.
The new notes would follow tDe course OF
the similar notes issued during the war.
They would first pass as currency for two or
three months, until sufficient amount of
interest had accumulated on them to make
it al object for the people to hoard them.
They would then disappear from circulation.
The constant retirement of the interest
notes would steadily lessen the volume OF
currency remaining in circulation, and
bring it nearer and nearer to gold value,
until it would finally reach par. Resump-
ton would then take place, and all the boards
of gold and silver in the country would be-
come part of the circulating medium, pre-
venting any injurious contraction resulting
from the completion Of the process of with
/ drawing the grcenbacks, which, III about
! ,br,a years would lao cnnrertna into inter-
! est notes and bonds. Mr.. Summers plan
has the approval of many eminent imam
cicrs, bankers, and business men III New

he HAD HIS OWN WAY ONCE.

The Bee asserts that the levee bill was
moulded according to Governor War
moths own way, and then became law.
This would be singular result of a COM
promise between the Legislature and the
Governor. We recollect one instance, how.
ever, in which the Governor had his own
way. A bill was passed by the first Gen.
eral Assembly, directing the sheriff of the
parish OF Orleans to publish his notices
OF sales in the French language, in pa
per named in the act. As this expense
was not authorized by the constitution,
nor demanded by any requirement of
public convenience, the Governor vetoed
the bill. The Journal for whose benefit
this little job was concocted appears to
have heartily forgiven the Governor, for
We read In its columns, yesterday morn
ins' that it has mo personal feeling
toward him." But for this emphatic de-
clarat'on, We should have fallen into the
error OF supposing that there was a sen. 4
Flment OF hatred entertained BY our con.
temporary. We are glad to be assured Of |
he Governors complete forgiveness.

fifty thousand dollars, and he who wins it
will be sure to have funds enough to swell

only twenty thousand numbers. We have
always had "a curiosity to see the lucky man
who wins fifty thousand dollar prize in the
Louisiana State Lottery, and we expect
that desire will be gratifed whenever the
modesty of that individual shall permit his
name to be published. However, perhaps
he is always satisfied with his own good
fortune, and dislikes to excite the envy of
less lucky men. If you want to win fifty
