This Committee, known as the 'sDells

opinion of the Governor the said Com

the Legislature which appointed it, and
the only duty it could perform: was to

A gentleman from the Southwest
reports that between the Salt and Red
Forks Of the Arkansas River, along the
Texas cathedral leading from West
ern Texas to Kansas, he saw a region
ofcountry, about FIVE miles wide bysome
fifty long, almost literally covered with
dead buffaloes Within this area ere
thousands upon thousands of buffalo
carcasses. By what disease they came
to their death, it is impossible to tell
though it is possible that they may have
been ifected in some way by diseases of
the Texas cattle that are yearly driven

THE NEW DISTRICTS.

It only remains for the Senate to
concur in the apportionment bill re
Gently passed by the House of Repre5-
entatives, before it becomes a law, and
as the Senate will doubtless acquiesce
in the measure, the re-distrlcting of
Wisconsin into eight Congressional dis
tricts will be among the business Of the
present Legislature.
To perform the work amicably, justly
and satisfactory to the several portions
of the State will be no easy task. 1t
has been suggested in some quarters
to leave.the districts as at present arrang-
el,'and elect the two additional members
fir the state at large. but as the
House of Representative refused to
incorporate into the apportionment bill
q section permitting such action, it is
doubtful if such de termination would
be legal. It therefore may be regard
ed as settled that the re distributing Of
the State into eight separate Congress
ional districts will be made.
Those having Congressional aspira-
tons arc closely watching the course of
events, and will do everything possible
to have districts formed which will best
conduce to their ambition and political
safety. Two schemes are presented to
the consideration of those interested,
one known as the one devised by the
Sentinel, and the other one, originating
with whom we don't know, but favor
ed, we understand by some Of the lead
ing politicians of the State. We think
In all candor that the Sentinel map
makes very fair division of the State,
and without any apparent gerrymand-
ering, places with safety six of the dis
tricts in the hands of the Republicans,
making the Democrats sure of success
only in one district, the Fourth, and
putting one district, the Fifth, in the
hands of the party exercising the most
vigilance and nominating the best man;
in other words the district is fighting
one. In this division Jefferson Coun-
ty is placed in the Third district, with
the counties of Waukesha, Walworth,
Racine and Kenosha. This hardly
suits as, as We are thus thrown among
strangers, and would have to make new
political bediellows throughout.
The other scheme gives the Demo-
Gratis two districts sure, with the chances
about even in the Eighth. In this
scheme Jefferson Count ~dnds posi-
tion in the Second district along with
Dane, Columbia and Sank, which is
nearly the same district as the present
ono. Here we would feel more at
home, and with fair play shown US,
might get along very comfortably. But
as We before intimated on the general
division of the State, the Sentinel
scheme would, We think, be more salts
factory to the people of the entire
State, and its adoption would seem to
consult best the interest of the Repub-
lican party, without, at the same time,
doing any injustice to our opponents.

G0rtschakeh's Note Relative to C at
acaZE.

ST. Petersburgh, Jan, 11.-The
note Of the Imperial Chancellor, Prince
Gortschakoff, to Mr.. Curtin, Uni Cd
States Minister at St. Petersburgh,
with regard to NJ. Catacazay, has been
published IN the Messenger Official
(newspaper), which is an unusual
course for the Russian Gov rnment.
and has been adopted in order to ex-
press resentment at the treatment and
peremptory dismissal of NJ Catacazy
by President Grant and Secretary Fish.
The following is correct translation
Of the note:
NJ. Constantine Catacazy Envoy Ex
traordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary TO the United States, has been
ordered to come back to Russia as soon
as His Imperial Highness, the Grand
| Duke Alexis, had taken his departure
| from the United States
Nj. Catacazy was at the same time
Informed that he will not return to the
post of Washington, but that his re.
cal will be final, in compliance with
the request of the United States Gov
| ernment.
The Government Of his Imperial
Majesty regrets that the painful affair
did not terminate with this, as it was
reasonably to be expected.
The acquiescenee Of the Imperial
Government of Russia in the request
Of Secretary Fish, ought then, by the
rule Of courtesy between two friendly
nations, to have been considered as f.
nal settlement Of the question.
In the subsequent correspondence, on
the part of Secretary Fish, there was,
however, neither attention nor proper
respect shown to Russian Am bassador
performing duties, such as be had a
right to expect from the Government
at which be was accredited.
The letter of Secretary Fish, prese. is
serious, though vague, complaints
against NJ. Calacazay, and thus invites
the Imperial Cabinet to judge the con-
duct Of its representative.
La the opinion of the Government of
His Majesty the Emperor, NJ. Catacazy
has satisfactorily refuted many of these
complaints; on the other, the Imperial
Cabinet will deliver its judgment when
N. Cataeazy has had full liberty to
| present his case.
The Imperial Chancellor hopes that
justice, is sufficiently understood in the
United States, not to expect it before.
