ALL laws permitting the transmission
by mail Of any free matter whatever
are repealed The law takes effect
from and after June 30, 1873.
This act inficts heavy burthen up
on local publishers; and, in the matter
of obtaining important news, amounts
almost to prohibition, since there is not
local publisher in the land who can
afo'd this outlay.
But we wave the discussion Of this
question in this article.
The act cuts of the free circulation
of newspapers in the county where they
are printed, but since it pertains to mat
ter transmitted By mail" we infer
that there can be no postage demanded
at the Post Office in the place where
the paper is printed This, of course,
will depend upon instructions yet TO be
received from the Post Master Gener-
al.
The postage on weekly papers will be
twenty cents per annum, payable quar-
terly at the Office Of delivery, and not
give cents per annum payable quarter.
~" as some of our exchanges have il.
The postage on daily papers, if We
rightly understand it will be sixty cents,
and on tri-weekly. thirty cents year,
payable quarterly We think there is
no change on magazines or any other
printed matter.

The st. Croix Republican, of this
week, contrived to spin out some over a
column of loose statements concerning
corrupt Legislators, aud finally came
to the following conclusion: at proves
to our mind that they were not only
corrupt, but fools, and entirely too mar
row minded to legislate for a great aud
growing state like Wisconsin, and had
better stay at home and let men of
more calibre and more enlarged views
take their places"
That is highly q complimentary!
Try again
From the same article, after speak
ing of certain men, we copy as follows
Gas to being loath to believe that GER
tain gentlemen named are corruption
lists, we never made the charge that
they we're"
We are quite safe to infer that, when
our neighbor penned that article,
Again his mind on swivels hung,
And doubtful themes employed his tongue. +"
On the whole there is only one apol-
ogy to offer for our afflicted brother,
and that is this: He has either mis-
taken himself for Judge Houch, or
Judge Hough has mistaken himself for
the editor of the st. Croix Republican
That braying has its own peculiar ring
it will neither deceive or alarm any
body. Any other solution of this prob
lem would certainly consign Abe Van
Meter to the Insane Asylum.

Financiering-POStage.

some call IL steallnS, otnerS sWlu-
ding. We see nothing in it that sInacks
very briskly of either In what? Why,
that late little disturbance in our reve-
nue.. That was a financial operation,
similar in character to the infamous
Credit Mobilier, though not on so ex-
tensive ascale.
We have no apology to make for it,
nor will we defend the first man who
voted for the increase of his own salary.
More than this. We will steadfastly
and constantly condemn the movement,
and we will do the utmost in our power
to defeat the reelection to either House
in Congress, of any man who aided to
accomplish this financial outrage.
There is not the first shadow of ex-
cuse for this unprecedented action.
Every man in Congress made specific
agreement to work for the pay fixed by
law, when he took his seat there. Fit
was bad bargain there was no one to
blame but the man who made it.
But why was the Presidents salary
raised? Was he not elected in full
view of the salary then fixed? And
did he not assume the duties Of his Of
fee, freely accepting the same? And
yet, the same is tripled-and that with
out the asking. Was it necessary to
propitiate this functionary? Were our
heroes q in fear of that monster-the
veto? Or, how is this accounted for?
There is something mysterious about
this new-fangled way of fnanciering.
But this is not all the fnanciering
done by these immortal Solons. They
dare no longer resist the opportunities
of the press of the country in demand
ing that the abuses of the frankiug
privilege be corrected; hence they made
clean sweep, atthe same time dealing
a heavy blow at the press. They
sought to cripple it by imposing heavy
burdens upon the publishers, and upon
the people. They demand that publish
ers shall pay full rates on exchanges,
and that the people shall pay full rates
on home newspapers. For two reasons
was this done, namely: First, to make
the metropolitan press cringe to those
in power; and, next. to crush out the
home journals and by 80 doing central
ize power in the cities of the nation
These 'lords Of creation" have come to
despise the rural population, and they
would gladly make them subservient to
the press OF the cities. Then they
could be more easily manipulated
But all in vain. The rural popula-
ton will now cling more closely to the
local press than ever before. The very
fact that these INSCRIPTIONS fuauciers
thus unwittingly concede the power of
the local press, while they affect to de-
spise it, convinces the yeoman beyond
doubt, that the local press is his only
safeguard-his only means of defence,
and not one in ten Thousand will dis
continue his local paper for the mere
matter of postage Nay, each will bear
the burden and seek relief through the
medium cur Congressman attempted to
crush ont

TUESDAY. APRIL %, 1873.
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Long and anxiously We have
waited to see the promised i'm
provcment in our public school sys-
tenn and We rejoice that indica-
tions now are favorable, and that
we are soon to be rid of tho can't
ing herds of hypocritical, corrupt
cd, nogro-loving adventurous,
imported from the most damnable
haunts Of Northern cities, who, au-
thorized by the political pamphlet,
improperly called aschool law, have
endeavored to diffuse, from the res
ervoirs of ignorance, the waters of
Sin and political corruption over
the best interests of society.
The schools, It's true, have in
many instances been productive of
good results; but we doubt not
that such were conducted by those
clear-headed, honest hearted teach
ers, who turned a deaf ear to the
prating officials, and strove to pre-
vent the common school becoming
a nero vehicle for the dssemina-
ton of State politics and the sickly
sentimental dogmas of carpct-bag
supervisors and inspectors and
independent of their loud demon
STATIONS, and without tho co-opc-
ration of the many useless officers,
labored to make their profession
the grand agency for tho cast
ing out of ignora nee, the de.
throneing of oppression and
tho extirpation of crime,
We have evidence, too conclu-
sive for doubt, that in almost every
instance, tho political sentiments
of applicants for certificates were
inquired into and considered among
tho requisites for competency to
teach. We know that, in many
neighborhoods, citizens have pro
cured the teacher of their choice
only by refusing to lease their house
until they were guaranteed the
right to have assigned as their
teacher some man Of whose homes
ty and integrity they had some
knowledge; and even then have
not unfrequently been imposed up
on by total disregard of the agree
ment, and forced to submit to the
assignment Of an imported carpet
Dagger, instead of him whom they
had solicited.
We trust that our Legislature
may see fit to so change the sys-
TEN, as that men of some character
may have control, and our teach
ers enjoying tho cooperation of
the board and their patrons, and
compensated well and promptly
for their services, may DO allowed
to teach according to tho best ap-
proved methods, free from the har-
RAISING visits of mpriacipled and
unnecessary school officials.

The Ram that Butted the DamscI over
the Washlub.

A retired clergyman sends an account OF a
little affair that happened i'm his place. IL ap-
pears that there was a young woman, a fine
spirited girl, engaged at a wsshtub, opposite an
open door. Just behind her was a young man,
as is generally the case, and i'm the yard was an
old buck that was allowed the freedom of the
premises, which is not always the case, we are
glad to say. Well, this buck came up TO the
door and looked in, and the young man going
close behind the young woman, pointed his fin
ger straight At the buck, and the old fellow
recognizing at once the pressing character Of
this mute Invitation put down his head and
dashed forward, and the miserable man stepped
one side and fed, and the young woman all un-
conscious of the arrangements received the
awful shock without warning, and passed over
the tub, and the air for an instant appeared TO
be full of slippers, and wet clothes, and soap,
and hot water, and suds. And the next minute
that goat came flying out Of that door at a
dreadful speed. bald the whole length of his
spine, and with wild look in his eye. And for
an hour afterva ard he stood back of the barn.
scratching his chin, and trying TO recall all the
circumstances in the unfortunate affair.-D1n-
