Soldiers Discharges.

In connection with the pre.emp-
ting of land there is considerable
trouble experienced by soldiers who
have lost their discharge papers.
The following is an explanation OF
the proper method to correct the
loss
An act of congress. approved
March 3, 1873, authorize the war
department to issue duplicate dis
charges, when it has been lost or
destroyed without the privity of the
soldier. Before duplicate discharge
can be issued, the war department
requires an affidavit of the soldier
that be has lost his discharge, and
that he has made diligent search for
it and cannot find it. Affidavits from
two or more reliable persons (officers
of his former command preferred).
establishing his identity, must also be
furnished All Affidavits forwarded
must have the certificate of clerk OF
a court of record, showing that the
civil officers before whom the oath
was administered were duly author
Ized to administer oaths. The papers
should be sent TO the Office of the
adjutant general. In addition, we
nave been informed that a duplicate
of lost discharge would be issued
oy the adjutant general Of the state
in which the soldier enlisted, by send
ing to him his name in full, state,
county, town, the place and date Of
enlistment, date of discharge, and
the number of his regiment and COM
pany. Under the instructions of the
general land Office the soldier, upon
entering land, must prove himself
entitled to take land under the law,
and must produce "certitied copies
of certificates of discharge, showing
when the party enlisted and when he
was discharged or, if these cannot
be produced, then satisfactory evil
dence on these points," Since the
meaning of the words Satisfactory
evidence" is rather obscureI might
be difficult, if not impossible, to OBJ
ain, it would. in all cases of lost
discharges be better to procure copies
Of them before attempting to enter
land.

Sergeant-at-Arms of the Assembly.

TIE prospects for the election of
Mr.. Jno. w. Bracket, of this coun-
ty, to the position of HIgh-Sheriff of
the next Wisconsin Assembly seem
to be fattering. His ability to serve
the State in this Office is unquestion-
ed, and if there is any claim in To-
cality he certainly has the preference
over any person yet spoken of for
this honor. The HERALD was pleased
some weeks ago to present the name
of Mr. Bracket for the position men.
toned, and hopes to chronicle the
news of bis election.
The Chippewa Herald, referring to
the candidacy of Mr.. Bracket says:
ga better selection could not be
made. Mr.. Bracket is familiar with
the duties of the position, and is
fairly deserving the place. We trust
he will be unanimously nominated"
The La Crosse Republican and
Leader says: "For Sergeant-at-Arms
of the Assembly, John w. Bracket
of Grant county is favorably men,
toned as q fit man. He has many
friends, both in bis own and in this
Congressional District"
The Ripon Commonwealth says ::
"For Sergeant alarms, John w.
Bracket, of Grant County, has been
honorably mentioned, and We have
no doubt be would perform the duties
of this Office as oreditably as he did
the one assigned to him ip the Sem
ate last winter, and the claim urged
by his district, "that they have never
been honored with the possession of
Sergeant-at-Arms in either body of
the Legislature" will give him addi-
tional strength"

Congressional and Washington Cos
sip.

Congress, during the past week,
has been principally engaged on the
finance bills, though quite number
of new and important measures have
been introduced. Senator Wright
has submitted an amendment to the
constitution providing for the cleo
ton of president by direct vote OF
the people and for one term of six
years. The district government
matters are the subject of considera-
BILE debate, with very little prospect
of satisfactory disposition of the
troublesome matter during this ses-
sion. The Senate on Tuesday of
last week passed the new finance
bill. The bill fixes upon January 1st,
1879, as the day to begin specie res
umption free banking, open to all
individuals and associations without
limitation of capital the retiring of
an amount of greenbacks equal to
80 per cent, until the greenback
circulation shall be reduced to $780,
100000, after, no further reduction
is to take place; the withdraw and
destruction of fractional currency
and the substitution of silver coin;
reducing the cost of coinage. The
secretary of the treasury is author
lied to use any surplus specie in the
treasury in order to obtain gold to
pay treasury notes, aud if not suffi-
cient, to sell bonds The legal tender
act remains undisturbed. In the
House a very important resolution
passed by vote 149 for to rs
against, which declared against fur
Their subsidies by the government of
money bonds or lands for the aid of
public or pr vate enterprises. We

supported the resolution in another
column.

sure passport to popular favor as the
most scrupulous regard to the COM
mandments.
His relation to his constituents he
regards about the same as that be-
tween lawyer and client. IT you want
a good lawyer to advocate your cause
in court, you must pay him we'll and
you will get him. The Senator's will
ing to commute his fee with his con-
stituents for a second term in the Sen.
ate. He is ready and capable to adj
vocate either side of any question:
If the Changers control the Legisla-
ture he IS down on the corporations.
1t is no difference that the largest fees
he ever received were paid him for
enforcing railroad bonds against towns,
counties and cities in all parts of the
State. The corporations have not now,
nor have they ever had any consider
able influence either in Wisconsin
or courts. Senator Car
penter knows this. And while he de-
nounces the rebellion and treason Of
the corporations, his audience APP
plauds with cheer after cheer, de-
voutly thanking him for compelling
them to pay the last dime they owed
on their railroad bonds and mortgages.
The man that can assume more shapes
than old Proteus ever did, and be
equally agreeable in them all, has no
parallel in "Plutarch's Lives"
But the entire Republican party is
ready to confess that Senator Carpen-
ter has been true to all the distinctive
principles of that party, and should
they hereafter assume their former
prominence, Cand there is a prospect
they wil) the party has no ADLER,
truer, mightier champion than he.
As you stated last week editorially
in the HERALD, Republicans here
abouts hate his compact with Cover
nor Washburn; such secret treaty
by which the highest offices are dis
posed of is fraud on the people and
ought not to be ratified. But sub
stract from Carpenter all his faults
and frailties, and there is large re-
mainder of talent, intellect and man.
hood. We fear to risk him Can we
afford to surrender the vast influence
which he now yields, and yields for
the public welfare and the honor of
Wisconsin, in the United States Sen
ate? AN ENQUIRER.

CoMPLlMENTARY.-The Padacah
Kentuckian has this to cay of for
mer Grant County boy:
ssAs noticed in the Kentuckiaa some
days ago, Mr.. Terrence, for long
time agent of the Louisville, Padu-
cab & Southwestern road al this
place, was succeeded by Mr.. I. NJ.
Calv, TT, coming here an entire stran-
ger. Mr.. Calvert has already by his
urbanity, close attention to business
and an earnest endeavor to please
and accommodate the patrons of his
line, become we'll and favorabIy
known in the community and added
greatly to he popularity of his road
Upon inquiry we learn that Mr.. Cal
vert has been for eight years past
connected with the Louisville, Nash,
vii Il Great Southern road in vari-
ous responsible capacities. Among
other services performed for that
road, he acted for three years as its
agent in Nashville, was connected
with the road at Montgomery tor
several years and served in the gen
eral freight office at Louisville f, r
one year. He is thorough railroad
and business man and will, we think
worthily represent the interests OF
his road at this place."

The Subsidy Record.

The Representatives in Congress:
give out no uncertain sound on the
question of rendering further subsi-
dies by the government of lands,
money, bonds or credit for the aid OF
public and private enterprises. The
resolution was introduced by Mr..
Holman on Wednesday of last week,
and read as follows:
RESOLVED, That in the present condition of
the financial affairs of the Government, no
subsidies in money, bonds, public lands, or
by pledges of public credit, should be granted
by Congress to associations or corporations
engaged, or preparing to engage, in public or
private enterprises, and that all appropria.
tons from the public treasury ought to be
limited, at the time, to such amounts only as
should be imperatively required by the pub
lie.
The resolution was passed on q
suspension of the rules, SO that the
House is now on record as appeared
to the subsidy policy. 1t will be OBJ
served that the resolution does not
cut off such thoroughly public enter
prises as the Hennepin Canal and
the Fox river improvement. 1t is
aimed at such projects as General
Hurlbut's Continental Railroad, and
the proposed Tom Scott and Jay
Cooke subsidies. The members thus
pledged against subsidy are given
below. The list should be preserved
and each constituency should hold
it's members to strict fidelity. We

Death of Gerritt Smith.


Hon. Gerritt Smith died on Mon
day last In New York, of paralysis
he was aged near 70 years, and was
born in Utica, New York. La bis
death the country loses patriot, a
scholar, orator, philanthropist, and
one of it's noblest citizens. Gerritt
Smith graduated at Hamilton Col
lege, N. Y, in 1918, and became q
student of the law. He was one of
the earliest advocates of the doc
trine of human rights, and helped to
organize the American Colonization
Society. In 1885 he withdrew from
this organization and became
prominent and active member of the
Anti-Slavery Society, the efforts of
winch organization, after years and
years Of labor, gave freedom to the
black race of America. He was a
lifelong earnest advocate of temper
ance and other reforms. At an
early age he inherited valuable Ian
ded estates, and, as single act of
philanthropy, he gave nearly two
hundred thousand acres of land to
the poor, without distinction of color.
When the Union was at peril his
voice and pen were as freely given
to the service of the country as was
his efforts for twenty years previous
for the cause of universal freedom.
The friends of humanity and equal
rights have reason to mourn the
death Of so great and good and
benevolent man as Gerritt Smith.

A Great Victory.

Once more have the gallant sons Of
Louisiana exhibited their prowress.
Thursday the intrepid young men
belonging to the Boys Central High
Schot in New Orleans marched to
the Girls Lower High School, and
demanded the removal therefrom of
the colored pupils. The young men
were calm, but there was determine
ton in their eyes, and they were evi
IDENTIFY not to be trifed with. Though
the foe, in the shape CT four or five
li'tle oolored girls, was before them,
still that band of brave boys did not
shrink or hesitate There was huns
dred or so of them, and they did not
hesitate to say that they would
triumph or perish in the attempt.
The girls must go, peaceably if they
would, but if fight was necessary
the young men boldly declared they
would not finch from it. Now what
did those girls do? Stand their
ground, like brave TrOjans, and fight
il out on the color line ? Not a bit.
They exhibited the cowardice and
inferiority of the oolored race by
basely yielding The four or five
little girls gathered up their books,
their slate-pencis and hats, whic b
they were magnanimou,ly permitted
to take, and ma ched out They
were even allowed to carry away
their overshoes and such littls 2rti-
Giles of extra clothing, maps, etc, as
they had brought with them but
they went. And behind them fol-
lowed the chivalrous and triumph
ant band OF fearless young men who
bad wrought this great but bloodess
victory.
