TO-DAY.
BIZ WILLIAM H. BURLEIGH.

The Past hath done it's work How well,
How i'll it matters not to say;
For 10 upon our ears doth swell
The summons of To-day.
A king, of kings the kinglest
No prouder ever graced a throne
His realm the Earth from East to west,
From North to Southern zone.
His are the potencies sublime
That bend the Nations to his sway
And every land and every cline,
Alike his power obey
The ages that have gore before
The awful Past, now vague and dim IS
Left, lapsing from Times crumbllng shore,
Their good and i'll to him.
With these, tor glory or for shame,
AS this or that his work shall crown,
He builds the temple of his fame,
His record Of renoWn.
His subjects veto aid, If true
If false, to mar. the grand design U.s.
That bids the Old Earth bloom anew,
Filled with life divine.
He summons US to nobler tasks
Than ever in the Past were wrought,
And for his larger purpose, asks
A nobler style of thought
Brave wills to dare, strong arms to do
The work that will not brook delay
Wise heads, warm hearts, toduty true
And loyal to To-Day.
No dim. vague dreams of faded flowers,
Whose fragrance never comes again
No lingering with the buried Hours,
Infirm of heart and brain, ..taf
Will he accept. Our King demands
Unswerving fealty 10 his Throne
The loyalty of heart and hands, + 1af
service all his own.
The selfish case we must resign 8ru
That shrinks from battling old Abuse,
And learn that labor is divine,
Divine the Life of Use. a@
His call is heard in every sigh "a tlli@ft
That heaves the sorrow-laden breast;
In every wild. d spairing cry a
Power wrings from the oppress'G-- {t.sl.
In every ancient Wrong that claims
From age authority to be- .s
In cruel fears, and haunting snames,
And voiceless misery fiI@
In broken hearts, In wasted lives,
In all the toll and MOL anddin ttoELl
From which the spirit vainly strives
Some notes OF peace to win. .s.t-.7 ,-,.s..
Fold not your arms in listless mood,
Oh Brothers tor he speaks to you
Need hath he OF the Wise and Good
Need OF the Brave and True. 1905
There's room tor all and Work for all
The urgent need rebukes delay
And 10 the Nations hear the call

it will be sufficient to meet ali the claims
upon the treasury till December 31st,
1871.
The Secretary's estimates for the year
ending December 31st, 1872, are given
below, and he thinks that in addition to
the estimated resources and amount
authorized by existing laws, State tax
of $50, 900 will be necessary, which with
economical legislation, will provide
means to defray the expenses of 1872.

1t will be seen from the foregoing
table that the increase of population in
the State, since 1860, is 278,67S, beisq
gain OF 30 percent. One other prominent
TACT, disclosed by the census, is the
alarming increase in the number of in

the increased per cent of insane during

g By the last Legislature it was made
the duty of the Secretary of State to
compile and arrange the census of inhab-
itants in the atefor 1870, by towns and
counties. together with such agricultural
and manufacturing statistics as he might
deem useful, and to include the same in
his annual report. The labor attending
the work contemplated was very greaS.
All the schedules containing the enumer-
atlons by the assistant marshals had to
be carefully footed, arranged and con
densed The time within which it was
necessary to do the work being very
short, it was found impossible to make
so full and complete compilation Of the
census material as might be desired
1.-THE statistics of population have been
arranged aud condensed with great care.
although some additional items of interest
could have been prepared had the time
permitted, it is believed that the exhibits
made viii be found substantially correct.
At late day a supplemental return of
population from Chippewa county was
received showing 1884 additional inhab-
itants. This return was furnished to this
department by the United States Marshal
in aggregates, by towns, and could not,
therefore, be classified like the other re-
turns.
The following comparitave table
shows the aggregate number of each class
therein specified, according to the
seventh, eighth and ninth enumerations,
taken respectively in 1850, 1860, and
1870:

OUR STATE AFFAIRS.
REPORT OF SECRETARY BREEsE FOR THE YEAR |
ENDING SEPT. 80, 1870.
From the Wisconsin State Journal.

From the Wisconsin State Journal,
Next to the Message of the Governor
the annual report of the Secretary
of State is the most Important and inter
estipg OF the State documents, giving, as
1t does, a comprehensive view of State af-
fairs. That of this year, ending Septem-
Der Both, 1870, the first OF Hon IL Breese,
is longer and more valuable than usual,
embraceing,as it does, the various statistics
of population, products, &c, procured by
the United States census, the compilation
of which has delayed the
preparation and publication OF
the report to a later date than usual. We
give below full abstract Of the document,
which, with the appendix, fills 20S pages,
emitting such facts and figures as have
already been published IN connection
with other reports, orotherwise: b -

REVISION OF THE STATUTES.

volumes on hand After furnishing the
next Legislature with the usual number,
there will be but few, if any, remaining
The supply OF the session laws for the
years 1859 to 1868, inclusive. is also ex-
hausted Demands for these session laws
are frequently made by officers who are
entitled to them, but the State has not
been able for some time past to supply
them. New towns are also being contin-
ually organized, whose officers cannot be
informed of their duties unless they are
furnished with the laws. Since the re-
vision Of the statutes in 1863, a large
number of laws have annually been en-
acted, involving many intricate changes.
1t requires, therefore, great labor, and, in
many instances, it is extremely difficult
to find what the law is. In view of these
facts L would respectfully recommend
that the legislature take immdiate action
to secure an early revision of the laws.

A MAN Dies PROM THE BITE OF Doc
RECEIVED Four YEARS PREvIoUSLY.-A
correspondent Of the Scranton Republican
writes:
The streets of Ashley were thrown into Il
fever of excitement yesterday by the report
that man had died from hydrophobia :;
and, alas the report proved too true.
The case is both remarkable and horrible.
About four years ago, John Bennett WAS
bitten i'll the hand by mad-dog. The
wound was small and soon healed. He
has been in good health and was Of sound
mind, and no unnatural mad actions were
noticeable until few days ago, when the
men ut work with him i'll the mines no.
ticcd wild expression about his face and
Il peculiarly in his manUers-at times le
would stare ut them with a fcrocious look,
similar to that of a mad-log, but as these
symptoms Of mania were Of but 4 mo-
mcnrs duration, it was not mentioned. On
Wednesday he was taken sick and confined
to his bed. After being confined to his
bed he could not hear the sight Of water,
and in Il short time ii was evident that he
was suffering with hydrophobia. The day
passed and the suffering increased the
suffering had become so intense that he
foamed at the mouth, and last night he eX-
pired. A few minutes before he died he
said he was suffering greatly 10y a pain in
his breast, showing that he was sensible to
The last. 1t is said by those who saw him
die that it was the most heartrendmg scene
they ever witnessed.

A HAPPY MEETlNG.-On the trip down
to Fredericksburg Yesterday of the
members of the John.A. Rawlins Post,
No. l, q. A. r., a strange incident
occurred in the following manner: A
gentleman with one arm sat OF to him
Self upon a bench on the lower deck of the
steamer Ironsides, and his lonely condition
drew the attention Of one of the members
of the post, who approached and soon en-
"aoed him in conversation upon the subject
Of decorating soldiers graves, whereupon
this one-armed gentleman revealed the TACT
that he had lost his arm in fighting against
the Boys in Blue at battle before Knox
vile, Which happened to be an engagement
in which the q. A. Il. boy had captured u
flag.
Upon announcing this fact, our one-armcd
ex.rebel confessed he was The man from
whom the colors were taken. An extensive
hanCi-shaking and..whiskey straight soon fol-
lowed an hour or more was passed IN re-
viewing the works of the two armies npon
the arrival of the steamer at Aqua Creek
they partcd with the best wishes for one
another Washington Republican.

THE Metropolitan Record has no doubt
that the Vallandigham (Dayton) speech
will have the effect of reuniting all classes
of the Democracy, North and South, i'll
solid, unbroken column.
A Pennsylvania letter says: Everybody
here is in favor of Hancock Tor President.
Pennsylvania is sure for Hancock in the
Democratic National Convention. General
Coulter stands best for the Gubernatorial
nomination next fall, although Gen. Cass
has many friends. Pennsylvania will enter
the Gubernatorial and Presidential cam
paigns next year with military men in front,
and not in the rear, ,asformerly. Judge Black
was here to-day, and interviewed him. He
is Hancock all over; just the man, he says,
for the Presidential chair. The union of
the old and young Democracy OH Hancock
is marvellous sign. Judge Black seemed
enliyened by the universal spirit peryading
in favor Of Pennsylvania fayorite son.
Young Clancy Jones goes TOR Hancock
Senators Petriken and Dechert so for Han
cock Sam Randall goes for Hancock; Harry
K. Coggshall, chairman Philadelphia dele
CATION, goes tor Hancock. They all so for
Hancock. Hancock all round, with few
exceptions. The whole State ticket is
thought to be sure forthe Democracy under
the banner of Hancock for President. as .

THOMAS JEFFEasoN-AF Free Gorernnae7at

THOMAS JEFFERsoN-A Free Gouernment.
The Charlestown Spirit Of Jefferson says
The longer we live the more profound
becomes our reverence for the intellect of
that greatest political genius the country
has ever produced, Thomas Jefferson.
Without the light of after events. he clearly
saw that the country was too vast, The In
terest too conflicting, and the habits Of the
people too different, to be held together by
force. The doctrine OF State sovereignty,
therefore, would act as a check upon any
combination of a majority of the States
to defeat the interests of minority, and
thus the States, afraid OF the secession ofsome
of their number, and prompted by their love
for the Union, created by the ordeal through
which they had just passed, would mu-
tually adopt kindly and conciliatory
course. If this was indeed his idea, it may
have been big mistake, but we are hum
bly, of opiuion that if it had always been Il
living and an active principle in the admin
istration of the Government we should
have had no war, the States would still have
been really united, and we should have
escaped the despotism into which we have
now drifted. -'' = $500 .t.:.f's &

of Lee Camp, No. /, S. G. b., it was deter
mined to hold the first annual celebration at

resolved to appropriate the proceeds to the
noble object inaugurated by the ladies OF

removal Of the Confederate dead from Get

For the information Of those who are not
familiar with the 'fSouthern Cross Bro.
therhoodv y we viii state that it has no con-
nection with politics, but lis simply an asso-
citation OF Contederates, designed to per-
petuate the friendships of the war. Such
an object merits and will undoubtedly re.
ceive the earnest and hearty cooperation o.
all our people. sti
