COMMUNION WARRANTS.

5. They claim to exclude over s44, 900
for redeeming Convention Warrants
This was an extraordinary" expendi-
ture; but large part of it is properly
charged to Radical rule, for this reason.
That Convention remained in session for
montAs-a dead expense to the people;
when its whole business might have been
done in few days.

CAPITOL REPAIRs.

6. They claim to deduct near So, O0C
for repairs on State Capitol. Some re.
pairs were necessary, but mark it AS
they fitted up the mansion" in glory
of splendor, for the royal residence Of
the Beasts of the Menageries, SO they fit
ted up the capitol in glory for the
counselors and princes of Radicalism. =
The ''repairs" are in part, finest carpets
and costly furniture. In old times, as
now, the Attorney General had his office
in the capitol; but mark the difference
In old times the whole cost, in eight
years, for repairs in the office of At
torney General, was less than eight dol
iars-less than dollar each year.
In old times the Attorney General had
one plain room; but the Radical Attor-
ney General has two magnificent rooms,
covered with costly carpets, and adorned
with snowy furniture This is but
sample of Radical extravaganza. The
like may be seer all over the Capitol.
The poor, ove1taxed people, who can
hardly get FOOD and clothing for their
families, Sre to be ground into the dust
that these Mongrel lords may live in
glory. The large part of this item can
not therefore be excluded.

because the Citizens made the institution

THE LAND GRANT.
. Rn.ieh BIZ fl,nn,ier u

Busted. by thnnderl"
Such was the earnest ejaculation OF
the poker playing Pixies Peaker who bad
bet bis last dollar aBd-Iosi! Something
similar. we imagine. will be the exclama
ton Of those who have based 80 many
hopes for the future on the renewal Of
the St. CToix & Superior land grant, a.
they learn Of its virtual defeat in con
gress.
On the 81 inst. the House took up the
bill for the last time, aud recommitted il
by large vote TO the Committee on
Public Lends. As that Committee will
not report ngain this session, aud as in
all probability the next congress will be
much more strongly opposed 10 grants
and appropriations of ali kinks than even
the PRESENT one is, the prospect Of the
liII ever again being reSurrec.ed is ex
Temely doubtful.
By this action. congress has wrought
great injustice to the people of tue north
ern part of Wisconsin. 1t WAS no new
gift that WAS asked for. Being an old
grant, and well protected, the people had
right to expect its renewal. Toiliug
men have taken homestoa,is on the re
served sections. paving therefor double
the established government price per
acre. with the expectation of some day
deriving benefits which only railroads
might confer. On the other hand. tho
lands granted for railros'l purposes have
for long years been withheld from mar
ket and exempted from tnxation. thcrsby
remaining undeyeloped aud unproduciive
Ali this have the people patiently borne.
firmly believing that ere long the rushing
locomotive would greet their vision, tbeir
lands be increased in value, and home
market secured for their produce.
Aud wha! now?
ltis"trite,b but none the less true, saying,
that "Shile there is life there ~ hope"
The Land Grant Bill is not yet entirely
defunct. though so near it That only the
most skiilful treatment and vigorous cor
dials can pOssihley save ii from the clutch
of death. Let the people of the sections
interested rally once more. give the case
into the hands of Gen. j. NJ. Rusk. who
