In April, 1871, Congress passed what
is known os the ~Ku-Klux act, giving the
President power to protect the loyal people
of the South against organized bands OF
assassins, and rendering the people of a
a county or city, under certain conditions,
responsible fer the damages done therein
by these outlaws.
Such, briefly, are the leading measures
adopted by the Republican Congress, and
sanctioned and sustained by the Repub-
lican party, for securing to the colored
people of the nation the boon of liberty
and the rightof equal American citizenship.
As "companion-piece" to this long list
of acts in the interest of justice and hu,
manity, we ought, perhaps, to publish the
Democratic party in behalf of slavery
wrong and outrage.
But it can hardly be necessary, at least
until the wounds inflicted upon the backs
of the four millions of ex-slaves have had
time to heal If colored men bear nc
malice against their Democratic owners
they will not be apt to forget who fastened
and who broke their chains.

Ray "Wabaknish," the aged Chippewa,
who has been the wonder of this locality
since its earliest settlement, is dead. The
age Of "Old Waba" will ever remain a
disputable question. Appearances and
facts as far as known indicate that this
Indian was the oldest inhabitant of the
West, if not Of the continent. According
to his latest account of himself, as given
to an inquiring paleface, the old fellow was
upwards on $40 years old. His real age
must have been considerably over 100.
"W aba" had an idea that the Great Spirit
had forgotten him. He probably knows
10 the contrary now, and in the eternal
habiliments of youth is waking the echoes
of the happy hunting grounds.

found call for the Republican County
Convention, to be held at Dodgeville,
Friday, the 25th day Of August, to
elect delegates to attend the State Con-
vention, to be held at Madison, August
the 30th.
We hope the coming convention
will be more generally attended than
they have formerly been. 1t is very
important that the people should real
ize that they have something to do in
the matter that there is something
at stake. 1t is absolutely necessary
that honest and true men be sent from
among the people and without inter
est is felt by the people in these prim-
airy meetings we cannot expect to eth
er gain ground or keep that we have.
There are several changes to be
made, and, among the most prominent
is that of Governor. The present Gov
ernor has in every way served the pub
lie we'll and faithfully, and his record
stands as we'll as any officer the State
ever had but we understand he is not
likely to be candidate, and hence a
change will be made. Many names
have been mentioned by our exchanges,
but at present the contest seems to be
between Hon. G. G. Washburn and
Hon. VIM. E. Smith. Both Of these
men are abundantly able to fill the of
fec they aspire to.
Our present Secretary of State, MI
Breese, is one of the most faithful off,
GERS that we have ever had, and it is
fully expected that he will be re-nomi-
mated. The county could do no better
than retain him. AS be has not re-
ceived nomination at the hands of the
party, Che being appointed to take the
place of a defaulter,) and as he has
been faithful in every respect, we hope
the party will give Mr.. Breese the
nomination.
But these are not the only good men
we have. Other men that are capable,
honest, and upright in every respect,
men who despise wrong and injustice
in every form are to be found among us,
and these are the men we ought to have
to preside over our public affairs. And
the way to accomplish this is for all to
attend the primary meetings, caucuses,
&C.; see that these meetings are not
governed and run by clique. 1t is
high time the people walked up to
their duty in this respect. There is
no need Of going homo after the con-
ventions grumblin8 and complaining
that the caucuses and conventions have
been run by designing men and cliques,
Each individual has right, and he
ought to exert that right, to have some
thing to say in regard to who should
be put in high places. Let them be
men who will fight against wrong, cor
-ruption and political trickery ; men
that their relations in private life, aside
from political matters, show them to
be men of the true ring and priceless
worth.
1t is with the people to say to whom
our support shall be given; it is with
them whether honest men or political
tricksters shall hold office. See to it
then that you show an interest in this
matter by attending all the meetings,
and afterwards give your support on
the side and for the men you deem to
be right.

An Arizona Frog Storm.

The phenomenon Familiarity known
as the Grain of frogs" has been ridi-
called and contradicted by certain scien-
lists nevertheless there is abundant
proof to show, that it has occurred, and
probably will again. In 1864 the
writer, in company With some fifty 9th
er travellers, had personal experience
of the fact. We were in Arizona, not
less than twenty miles from any stream,
pond or water. The day was extreme
ly suItry, and we had halted to let the
animals Craze and rest for an hour or
two. Not living thing beside our
selves and horses was in sight, and
certainly no frogs were hopping over
the rich, tufted gramma- grass which
covered the ground for miles in every
direction Suddenly a dense black
made its appearance, and itsoon began
to discharge a copious rain upon our
unsheltered heads. The drops were
very large and the water quite warm
Nearly every person wore a broad
brimmcd felt hat, which protected
against the rain as we'll as against the
sun. Our attention was soon arrested
by the polting of something which
struck our hats like hail, but which
proved to be frogs, and in less than two
minutes the grass was fairly alive with
those creatures. Several Of the party
took some from their hat rims. Our
unexpected visitors are all Of one size,
about quarter of an inch from nose
to rump, very lively, and apparently in
the best condition. Their fall had
been broken by the springy, resilient
nature Of the grass. 1t is not probable
that seven hundred thousand, perhaps
millions, of the frogs had suddenly
been Matched into life in the ground by
the rain, or, if they had, that in their
infant glee they jumped five feet elev-
en- inches from the earth to the top Of
our heads merely to show how the
game of leap frog should be played,
nor had they any such caudal appeu-
dages as are generally attached to ju-
venile rama. They came from above,
in company with the rain, and this fact
was made clear by holding out the
hand and seeing them fall upon it, and
finding them on our hat rims. The
eggs from which these reptiles sprung,
had undoubtedly been drawn up into
the atmosphere by the action Of the
water-spout, and held in suspension
with aqueous particles long enough to
hatch them out and give them perfect
form; then, by force Of mutual attrac-
ton, the separated PARTICLES got toSeth
err in such masses as to form heavy
sheets Of water, which, in turn, become
amenable to the law Of attraction of
gravitation, returning to the earth from
whence it had been drawn. In the
fall, new divisions were created, called
drops" among which the frogs de-
scended, having been obedient to SINH
lar forces, moving with the aqueous
particles. The instance is cided to
show that other things besides vapor
are transported from earth to atmos-
phere by certain well-known and ac-
credited Developments Of natural sci
ence. "" n.#

Some of these deposits have been found

LINE OF DISTINCTION

Sharply drawn. The original is dcpos
il Of ore or metal, in its normal condition,
always found in or beneath rocks in place,
las the geologist wou}d say that is, rocks
that have not been disturbed by surface
agencies These surface deposits Tor
what might very properly be called deriv
alive deposits are always found in an
abnormal condition, that is, they are
formed by mechanical laws, such as always
govern deposits of detrital or disintegra-
ted matter. without any evidence whatev-
or of being acted upon by those well
known laws governing mineral veins eve
rywhere in their original condition.
Now, between surface deposits in this
sense, and the deposits of ore in the
LEAD DISTRICTS OF WISCONSIN,
There cannot well be greater distinc-
ton. These alluviaI or derivative depos-
its are always found ADORE the bed rock,
that is the rock that has not been disturb
ed by surface agencies, and on which
such material always rests, and neUer be-
low it, The deposits in the lead district
are always in or beneath it, and never
above--except it should be a place where
the rock above the deposit hos been re-
moved by denudation. This, where it
happens, is the exception, not the rule.
Nothing is more familiar to our miners
than the fact that our heaviest deposits of
ore are found beneath the cap rock and new
er above it. I would call especial atten-
ton to this question, the form or mode
of deposit. But few things are of more
Importance in examining mineral forma-
tons than to be able to distinguish be-
tween them, and for this reason wish to

Also, and other parts of the world, SINH

ditions. Nor are we altogether destitute
Of this form of deposit in our own lead
district. They are Known to the miners
as 50 float patches;'' but are distinct in
their origin and nature from the normal
deposits. .al...
These surface deposits, however, are
well defined, have one common origin,
and can be traced without difficulty to
their source. Everything in connection
with such deposits points to the fact that
they have been formed by disintegrated
material, brought down from higher levels
by rains or floods, and re-deposited in
valleys or depressions under the influence
of mechanical laws, and in the absence of
those chemical laws under which mineral
veins and ore deposits in their normal con-
dition are always found.
