ton, passed at the recent extra session,
condemning Mr.. Summers course in rela-
tlon to the battle-fags. Mr.. Wilson, in
his letter to the gentlemen who address
ed him upon the subject, says that he
could not vote for Mr.. Summers resolu.
ton, and still regrets that he presented
II, but he has no doubt that Mr.. Sum-
ner acted from high sense Of duty.
He regrets still more, however, the pas
sage of the resolution OF censure, and
can see no other purpose in its passage
than to wound the feelings of Mr.. Sum
ner. Mr.. Wilson's letter is timely and
fitting rebuke to the bigoted and intol-
Grant partisan spirit which inspired this
attempt to disgrace Mr.. Sumner.

The amendment to the. appropriation
bill Increasing the pay of congressman
and Federal officers, was adopted Mon
day. Hereafter the salaries will be as
follows the President of the United
States will receive $4,000; Vice Presi-
dent, $4,000; Chief Justice Of the Su
preme Court, $1O5OO; Justices of the
Supreme Court, $4,000; Cabinet OMcers,
$4,000; Assistant Secretaries of the
Treasury, State and Interior Departments,
$4,000; Speaker of the House, after the
present Congress, $4,000; Senators, Rep
resentatives and delegates, including the
present Congress. $500. This is to cover
all pay and allowances except actual indi-
Vidual travelling expenses from their
homes to the seat of Government and re-
turn, by the most direct route of usual
travel, for each session. This increase of
salaries, prospectlvely, is proper enough.
The public gains nothing by attaching a
niggardly salary to public offices; but the
Retrospective part of the business is, tc
say the least of it, tolerably cheeky

The Pope, who declines to have any
thing to do with the Government of
Victor Emanuel in temporal matters,
does not hesitate to ask faVors in sspiritu-
al concerns, and has recently requested
the Government to suppress series of
articles on "The Life Of Christ" now
appearing in one of the radical papers.
The Attorney General has made reply
that, although he regrets the articles,
yet, in Q free government, it is impossi
bic, by representations and prosecutions,
to silence those who choose to promote
discussions which the law does not for
bid. He also calls attention to the fact
that the lawsof May 49, 1871, proclaims
full liberty of discussion on religious
matters, and therefore declines to inter.

EX-GOVERNOR RANDALL.

BY the legislative proceedings it
appears that a proposition to bring
Ex-Governor Randall's remains to this
State for interment was adopted. We
heartily respond to the propriety OF
this action, and trust it may be sup
plemented, either by state action OF
private subscription, by placing an
appropriate monument in his honor
either in the Capitol Park or some
other appropriate place. He was one
Of the most genial men in the State,
fond of and true to his friends, and
possessed of remarkable qualities,
which bound him to all who came in
contact with him. He was also an
upright, able and good Governor,and
probably did more than any other one
man in promptly placing Wisconsin
on an efficient war footing in the out
set Of the Rebellion. These are all
qualities which command our love for
the man and ourTeadiness to do some
act in respect for his memory. If it
is not correct. to build him monu-
ment with public moneys, we believe
that voluntary subscriptions in ample
amount are ready to do it by private
means Green Bay Adyocate.

The New Orleans War commenced about

were repulsed by the police, reinforced by

DEATH OF HON. STODDARI
JUDD.

A dispatch announces the death of
one Of the pioneers Of Wisconsin, DR..
Stoddard Judd, of Fox Lake, who
has been gradually declining for the
last year. He died at half-past 2 on
Sunday morning, Cd inst, at about
the age Of seventy-seven years. Few
men in this state have been more act
i've in shaping itadestiny. He was a
man of vigorous lnind, "a ready debat-
er, and always advocated what he be-
lieved to be right. He was q mem
Der Of both the Conventions to form
a Constitution for the state, in 1916
and 1847, when seeking admission to
the Union, the first Of which was
voted down by the people, owing to
some provisions which they deemed
obnoxious. He has acceptably filled
many Offices Of trust and honor, among
which was that of memher of Assem-
bly,, always to the entire satisfaction
of his constituents, whose confidence
he had without reserve. His funeral
will take place from the Baptist
Church in Fox Lake, on Wednesday,
at L o'clock. tits expected that Rev.
A. Constantine Barry, of Fond du

old friends will doubtless attend from

Not One Woman Saved.

Four hundred men saved. but not
one woman. One boy saved. but not
one woman! While we look for
some silver lining we are confronted
with this fringe Of intenscr blackness
to the .'Atlanticr horror.
Others may draw their more obvi-
ous morals from the disaster. 1t
may be that a vessel whose length is
ten or twelve times its breadth is too
slender for strength. We only know
that the disaster proves nothing on
the subject; for a Spanish galleon
would 90 to pieces if driven at un-
Stacked speed against a sharp ledge.
We only know that for speed and for
comfort at sea the larger vessel is the
the better. Ii may be that the cap
tain was careless and reckless. though
we have seen no absolute evidence OF
it as yet. 1t may he that the vessel
was sent To sea with a short supply
of coal and provisions, although this
is denied; and the possibility of put
ting into Halifax at any time for
supplies. as some steamers regularly
do, should not be overlooked in as
signing blame. We suspect that
contractors failed to supply full
amount at the present high price ot
coal in England. and that the officers
Of the company did not discover the
failure. 1t must be. and this only
seems the certain cause Of the acci,
dent. that there was some fatal error
in the reckoning and that the officer
in charge. now passed beyond ouI
judgment, somehow mistook the
lights. Nor can we fail to deplore
that the point was not probably pro,
tected by lighthouse.
But all this does not explain why
