FOREIGN NEWS.

The House of Lords has passed bill
authorizing Canada to organize Terri
torial Government in the country lying
between the Dominion and the Pacific
coast.
Advices from Hong Kong to May Goth,
report a coolie ship from Macao for Cal
lao, was burned at sea, and six hundred
coolies perished in the flames. The par
ticulars received are conflicting.
The commercial relations between Ger
many and France have been restored to
the same footing as before the war.
An ecclesiastical letter has been issued
calling on the Catholics throughout the
world to give thanks to God on the oc-
casion of the Pope's jubilee.
A Paris dispatch of Friday says: sit
has been discovered that the real leaders
of the Commune were Karl Marx, Jaco-
hi, Blanqui, Tonatchin and Dietrich.
The idea of firing Paris originated with
Jacobiand Tonatchin. Papers have been
seized which show that these men are in
London, and are planning new schems,
designing to make Lyons, Marseilles,
Madrid, Turin, Rome, Naples, Vienna,
Moscow and Berlin scenes of confagra-
tions. Rossel and Auriel are both con
cealed in London. Assassinations con-
tinue in Paris to the number Of seven or
eight day-always prominent men,
The renort that the Russian champaign
against Khiwa has been successfully ter
minated is confirmed.
The Emperor of Russia and his son
Alexander, with brilliant staff, arrived
at Berlin on the Sth. They were received
at the station by Emperor William and
staff, and escorted to the Palace by the
Imperial Guard.
Another notable insurgent boasts that
the burning of Paris will be considered
insignificant when the London docks,
with all their wealth, are consumed, as a
grand lesson to the middle classes OF
Europe. London, Liverpool, and Berlin
will, it is said, be the next scenes OF
secret operations. Papers have been dis
covered which show that the operations
of the Communists were directed from
London.
1t has been ascertained that the chiefs
of the International Club and several
Englishmen were among the Paris in
surgents.

Atlanta (where he told his hearers Geor-
gia would ultimately be a sovereign
State), we don't think anybody but the
Democratic party will be sorry.
What happy leaders-Davis, johnson
and Vallandigham Of course, they
viii oppose President Grant with all theiI
might, and of course the people Of the
country-the clear-headcd, right-thlnk-
ing masses-will say, Amen !-Ec.
Mr.. Alexander III. Stephens aroused,
apparently. by the attention which his
late senior, jeff Davis, is attracting, is
out in the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle in
an elaborate statement of his position.
He holds that the Thirteenth Amend
ment. aboiishing slavery was regularly
ratified, while the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth Amenments, granting equality OF
civil and political rights, are the products
of usurpation, and void. Such pro-
nunciamento is chiefly useful as showing
how tenaciously the average Southern
mind still resists the results of the war,
and how important is the advance taken
by the Ohio Democracy as means of
influence over the Southern leaders, and
how still more important is frmness and
perseverance among the Republicans.
So long as the politicians at the South
are obliged to look at the negro vote as
an important part of the source of power,
so long as the freedom Of the race and
the perpetuity of emancipation are as
sured. As they see that without the
ballot nothing would have been determ-
ned, but with it everything is settled,
they naturally strike at the Fifteenth
Amendment, caring little or nothing for
the Thirteenth. It would be much to be
desired that the Southern leaders should
take the forward movement in which
Vallandigham, Pendleton, and Morgan
have led Bnt they will not probably do
50 until the incubus of their hos
tiiity has secured one or two more defeats
to the party astride which they ride, and
WELD even now the reins, if not, as OF
old, the whip and spur.-Ec.

the above mentioned circular, postmas-
ters are not required to receive such
notes.
'sBrick" Pomeroy speaks to larger
number of Democrats, weekly, than any
other Editor in America and he denoun
ces the Vallandigham Depart ure IN the
roundest terms. He charges that Val.
has flown into the arms Of Republican
ism, and seeks to initiate that party. II e
says he can't follow him for the reason
that one Republican party is enough. =
The Milwaukee Neaos and many other
Democratic papers are plunglng headlong
after Vallandigham. Well, it is agree
able to see them adopt the work Of the
Republican party.
The decrease in the National Debt
since the present administration came in
to power, is 226, 329, ,O75. Snch a result
is pleasing to the masses but very dis
pleasing to Democratic leaders.
Governor Fairchild has returned from
months tour in New York, Boston,
Connecticut, Washington and other
points. His Grafton on the occasion OF
the Grand Army of the Republic gather
ing, at Boston, was pronounced pro-
duction of much merit.
There is considerable ez cement in
Madison because W. j. Sullivan, an ac-
tive member of. the Catholic Church, but
also an Odd Fellow, who died lately, was
refused burial in consecrated grounds, on
account of belonging to secret society.
His family were unwilling to have him
buried by his order. He was inferred
without any ceremony. Thursday evenN
ing his body was taken up and buried
with the Odd Fellows rite, and religious
services conducted by Superintendent
Fallows, in Forest Hill Cemetery. large
number of friends being present.

THE NEXT STATE ELECTION

The La Crosse Leader and Sparta
Herald support Gen. G.. G. Washburn
for Governor -EE.
Now is not this little too fast? We
certainly do not object 10 the General to
be the next Governor. but we have not
found out yet why Coy. Fairchild could
not be reelected At all events we shall
exercise our best efforts for nominating a
tcestern naoas There is one thing GER
tain, our present Senator must be re
elected, every thing else is of but second
ary consideration. We can already see
by the tone of Democratic papers, stoop-
ing to the most contemplate lies, that
the proud and noble standing OF our
"Howe" is to be undermined # possible.
We propose to be one OF the color
guard for him, who has ever carried the
Republican flag VIGOROUSLY in the van

TIE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER.

To which this long preface is only
Introductory; is to show, by bring
ing to light the facts connected with
the history of the issue Of these bonds,
which have been so long covered up
or forgotten that there never was any
such fraud or misrepresentation as
would have amounted to an equitable
defense in any court, in a suit upon the
bonds or coupons, or rs would have
afforded a considerable reason for their
reputation to a community disposed
to discharge its honest obligations.
This exposition cannot be made
without a free use Of the personal pro-
noun, which | would gladly have
avoided.

for the payment of the County in
debtedness as a means. TO that end.
Its evident that in acting upon
this proposition, the question, whether
the bonds were obtained, as alleged,
by fraud and Misrepresentation, is Il
very important one. and that any in
formation which will tend to a truth
full solution of the question, is not
only pertinent but that it will now
be duly appreciated. For if it be
true, that under the the decisions of
the courts, the question Of fraud in
obtaining the bonds cannot be gone
into, and that there Is no defense
which can prevent the obtaining Of
judgments, it must be a great source
OF satisfaction to know that no fraud
OF misrepresentation amounting to
an equitable defense could have been
established, if the widest latitude had
been given in the suits. for the inves-
tigation Of the question. And if an
investigation of the subject shall now
show that these bonds are not g I'm
Just rascally," infamous" sin
and a robbery" it will
be far more consolatory tofhose who
may be compelled to pay them, than
such compulsory payment would be,
if the debt was believed to have been
/" conceived in sin and brought forth
in iniquitv."
