CONFEDERATE CORPORATION Con-
RENcY.-The Court Of Appeals of Viz
ginia has just made u decision in suit
brought against the city of Lynchburgh to
enforce the redemption OF small notes is
sued by the corporation during the rebel
lion, 100000 being involved in the con-
troversy. Tho appellate tribunal affirmed
the decision Of the court below, and held
that both the ordinance Of the city and
the act OF the Legislature authorizing tue
currency show that the small notes were
issued simply for the accommodation OF
the citizens, and were intended to have
the same value as, and to be redeemable
in Confederate money. During the war,
the city, It was held, was AT all times
ready to redeem the corporation currency,
and, US Confederate notes have now be-
come utterly worthless, it was decided
that the holder OF small notes issued by
the city of Lynchburg could not enforce
their redemption in the present legal cur
rency Of the United States.

EsAEE ROADS.

We have had two Railroad meetings
in this City last week,
One called by Mr.. George Reed of
Menasha, ut the Court House, the other
by Mr. O. Ii. Waldo of Milwaukee.
Their places of residence indicate the in
terests they represented here-as we be-
lieve, with very little success.
Mr.. Reed proposes to build road to
Menasha within a year, provided we fur
nish the means to get the road ready
for the rails Mr.. WalGo proposes to
give US road to Milwaukee by way of
Shaboygan Falls and Cedarburgh with a
similar promise as that Of Mr. Reed !;
both the propositions are under suspense
until the return of our r. II. President,
Mr. Villas, who, in all probability will
build both roads under his own surervis-
ion.

PERsoNALs.-W'e had friendly call,
last week, from our worthy State Treas
urer, Henry Batz, who came here with
Mr.. Reed in the interest of our western
railroad. His success in that respect DID
not seem to be at all in CORES pondence
Aith his efforts, although he got quite a
meeting together and made as good a
speech as circumstances would allow.
George Phipps, and his friend B.
came to town last Tuesday even
ing and of course gave US q
friendly call he looks happy and hearty
aud is quite pleased with his present
home-Depere. His stay here is too
short to please US, but it will please the
more that sweet young lady on his early
return.
THE Propeller st. Joseph came here
from Milwaukee, yesterday noon, bring
ing back VIII Guyles and Ed. Conway,
alone; what can the matter be.

THE new brick block Of our enterprs-
ing citizen Mr. j. E. Plast is now al
most ready for occupation. The whole
block is 80 by 100 feet, two stories high
with basement under the whole building.
The first story is divided into three
Stores which are so constructed, that they
may be used either all together, or each
one separately, each store being also pro-
vided with extensive cellar and loft
room. The second story contains besides
the large store lofts, four splendid Offices
with side rooms. The whole is the best
arranged OF any in our City. The cost
will probably not vary much from fifteen
thousand dollars This builling viii
also necessitate the creation of a large
Warehouse and grain Elevator on the
river, which viii probably be erected
next spring; thus is Mr. Platt preparing
for the great increase of business soon to
take place. in our city May others
soon follow his praise worthy example.

DEATH OF THE LYCEusz.

The Lyceum is dead and buried and
nothing is heard over its grave save the
din of the streets. Its last struggle took
sepulcEral grotesqueness from the fan
tastic pail dance of mashueraders and
its limping soul escaped in prevaricating
smoke For several weeks this event
was anticipated. Certain positive symp-
toms, such as coldness Of the joints and
unsavory smells, pointed straight to the
inevitable catastrophe. Upon its resur-
rection, let no comments be made.
1t was like fire brand over wet pow
der; and for while it burned its own
smoke with white heat But the soli-
tary interest Of few is of no avail
against the constitutional tendencies of
community. Il is as we'll to squirt spit
tie through straw against the tides of
the ocean, And so its last sessions were
sustained by forcing blood through It's
veins with hydraulic ram. But its death
repeated the evidence of the old truth
known to all observers, to wit: 1t is of
no use to labor against tie perpetual
forces of nature, or think to make prac-
teal the raising cf cabbages for the mil
lion in hot house.
1t received comparatively no support
from the older portion of the community;
and it is known that the bold spirit of
two and three decades is strangely lack
ing. 1t is true. a few older people gave
luke warm acquicsccnce, but no aid. Lazy
assent among the wool-sacks, does not
clothe the minister's wife. Wishes,
though strong, are cheap commodities.
People had kind Of mild disinterested
ness, such as Saxon Christians feel for
the immortal souls Of the Patagonians. :
They regarded the IIyccum as they might
a poor sick saint, who, though deserving
Of 'heaven, could get no pills from
his neighbors. One does not ike to
be spattered with the residuum Of social
diseases; one does not wish to be coupled
with death, for Immortality is better
However, it is possible to endure death
in clean linen; but when it comes to a
death that makes the air thick with a
horrible efluvia, it is better to clap one
hand to his nose and hasten away.
1t may be that by some local alchemy
decency becomes indecent; therefore |
advise the projectors Of the Lyceum to
beg pardon Of the community, and, on
their bended knees, promise not to be
guilty Of a like offence again. Further
more, I advise said projectors to conceal
their heads and keep them concealed ill
the sweet robins cease to sing, and the
blue-jays are dead.
Let the Lyceum aud the Library
happy pair-lie dead together No
longer let the reading room be illuni-
nated; let no more money be spent on
lie, - on candles, and on the widows mite.
But leave the books to the moths-those
vandais of time; and leave the dust on
the shelves to the ghostly toe-marks of
departed authors. And let red bot
curses and bulky laughter be heaped
upon the memory Of the generous old
reprobate who dared to give the town
library. And let the eccomnaunicatio
nayor Of papal rumdom potent with
tipsy thunder be poured upon the scorch-
ed scalps Of the ignominious undertakers
Of this most disreputable enterprise-thc
Lyceum. O.

THE Chiffon Times in commenting
upon our article of last week. III refer
ence to the charges made by certain of
our officials, on the inquest lately held
on the body Of Arthur Wicks, Of Calu-
met County. says that the OBJECT of its
deatribe was not the malinging of Mani
towoc, which statement, our readers will
be likely to take at what 1t Is worth,
when they recollect that for years back
all manner of silly and vituperltive war
bic and slang have been cast on Manito-
woe By the same sheet against Manito-
VOC
The Times justifes its charges against
the town Of Manitowoc. upon the ground
that its (Manitowoc( officials are ''repre-
sentative men, and says thatthe commu-
nifty must be judged by their acts (the
acts Of the officers. Now,if we take the
logic of the Times and apply to the Editor,
whose malignity, nonsense, rhodomont-
AIDES and catspa~ipgs- ere proverbial.
(and hold the Calumet people esponsible)
we would do the people OF Calumet Co.
just the same justice that he measures
out for the people of Manitowoc County.
But that, our sense Of justice will not
allow us to do, for we have higher
opinion Of the intelligence, humanity
and honesty Of the people Of Calumet
County, than charge them with such
conduct.
The bill of items set forth in the times
IS Illegal unjust and outrageous, and if
the friends Of the deceased will take
steps to have the matter righted. they
will find plenty Of friends in Manitowoc
who not only denounce the extortion, but
are anxious 10 see justice done to all who
partook in this unholy steal. But the
first step, as we understand it, must be
made by those who were made to suffer.
Has the Times antthing further to say f?

Jorty-lt Is twenty one years old. Since
it was first selected as the future seat of
Lawrence University It's growth has been
steady both In population and wealth.
From the census Of June last we have, it
| is fair to inie:, 5000 people. We are on
! the line of one OF the most extensive and
best managed railroads in the United
States, the Chicago aud Northwestern
We are surrounded by country OF great
wealth and fertility. Our county is rap
idly coming oGt Of the woods. There are
now running % water wheels, with an
average of SO horse powers each, turning
out lum ber, -four, rakes, furniture. hubs
and spOkes, slaves, leather, machinery
and cloth The annual product from
| these factories cannot be less than $4,-
600, 000. There is in the single article
OF -four nearly $4,000, ,000-of barrel
stock $500, ,0O0-of paper $3.50, 500-of

Appleton has arrived at it's majority of
y years, but is still an infant in regard
to what it will be its growth cannot be
compared to that Of man, it will prove
ltselfa giant skrpassing by far any present
expectations. Its very birth might be
said to have been Of more than usual
divine agency by its foundation as a chris
tan university, and its resources for con-
slant increase, in numbers, wealth and
power, in manufactures and the general
walks of life are almost beyond calcula
ton. In less than twelve months that
city will be almost one with Manitowoc
and in less than 10 years Appleton and
Manitowoc will be known from the Attain
tic to the Pacific as familiarly as New
\ orl or Chicago are to US at the present
moment.
