Consistency,

The Mineral Point Democrat of the
10th, quotes our answer to its query.
s.Why can't the county bonds be settled
at so cents on the dollar?" and says:
The above statement is who ly incor-
rect. The compromise was not ruled out
by the courts. The county attorneys
wrote nothing to the bond holders except
what they were authorized to write by the
fund commissioners.
If the Democrat man had consulted
with the ex-county attorney before asking
the question about 90 cents on the dollar
Gas he evidently has since,) he would
doubtless have avoided placing himself in
the awkward position he now occupies, for
then he would never have asked the ques-
ton. 1.-THE compromise was not ruled out by
the Courts, but is still binding on the
county, as the Democrat maintains, why
should that paper implicitly find fault with
the Fund Commissioners because they
might not be able to effect a settlement at
fifty cents? Either the Democrat man
ought to run his paper h mself or he
ought to let the other fellow run 1t, for it
doesn't Look we'll for the paper to be slash
inx at the Fund Commissioners one week
because they can't settle the debt at fifty
cents, and in snort time turn around
and declare that the sixty-ive cent COM
promise ought to be carr ed out.

Brook Trout.

A. Palmer, of Boscobel, Grant county,
writes to the Western Farmer as follows:
Ayear ago, having more young trout
tina nmy pond would accommodated put a
few thousand into barren stream near
me. They were then about one inch long.
A few days since | thought [ would see
what they had done. took my rod and q
couple of little boys and went to the branch,
and in less than an hour caught thirty,
all we wanted, and might have caught
hundreds, as we could see them in schools
of fifty or hundred in place, for
mile up and down the brook. They were
a bout seven inches long, and those left by
midsummer will be nine or ten inches long
or what would be called nice CATCH
AS this same thing can be done by ev-
ery brook of pure water. (either hard or
softl. in the ST. tie, submit if it would
not pay the owners of the brooks to stock
them, if in nothing else, in furnishing one
more attraction for the farm. If not for
themselves, for the boys, for recreation is
as Necessary to them as meat and bread and if
they can't find it on the farm they will
hunt it in the village. Many of US can rec
ollect how attractive the brook on our faith
er's or neighbours farm, and how its wiley
denizens taxed and developed our young
skill and ingenuity in their capture.

The Institute for the Blind Burned

From the Madison Journal, Nth.
We learn that dispatch has been re-
ceived at he Executive Office brining the
intelligence of the total destruction of the
Institute Cor the Education of the Blind
at GAINESVILLE, last evening, by fire. This
is serious loss to the State, as we'll as q
great detriment to the attending pupils.
The value of buildings. fixtures and
grounds is stated in the Legislative Man
ual at 1852, 900. and of personal property
including furniture, apparatus, library,
provisions, &C., at about $40 900. What
the value of the buildings exclusive of
the land is, we have no means ofknowng
No lives were lost.
A meeting of the Stats officers wa,
called Immediately on the receipt of the
dispatch, to consult as to rebuilding the in
sttution, and there is possibility that
the Governor may decide to call an extra.
session of the Legislature. A consultation
will be held tomorrow between the trus-
tees and officers of the Institute and the
State officers as to what is best to be done

Deeds and MORTGAGES.

The Madison Journal, sp, aklng of the
new law in regard to the forms of deeds.
mortgages, &C., says: Some individuals
are under the impression that the Legisla-
ture has given the form ola deed and mort
gage which must be used hereafter, in lieu
of the old forms. This is an error, as the
law says these forms maybe legal. The i'm
preston is that there are but few careful
business men who would purchase real
estate or loan money under the forms CIV
en- by chapter BIG Of laws of 1874. The
forms for Tax Deed, Sheriff's Deed on Fore
closure ana Execution, Referees Deed,
Guardians Deed, and Assignment ofMort-
gage, are well enough, and will be adopted
by the attorneys and officers generally in
the state.

"What Is It ?"

The compilation of returns of the
elections within the past few days,
again compels us to raise the inquiry -
which was so puzzling last fall-in re-
gard to the party opposing the Repub-
lican: "What is it's The other day,
! opposition papers and politicians we're
rejoicing over triumphs of the regular
Democracy in New Hampshire, and in
Connecticut, but yet in these parts
they try to call themselves by some
other name, There is no agreement,
persistency or consistency in the use
of terms, however, and this is very
perplexing in compiling returns, when
from one place "Democratic," from
another a "Reform," from another
Peoples Reform" from another a
Liberal" from yet another a Liberal
Democratic" success is reported. In
this city the opposition ticket in the
Democrat, was headed "Reform;" the
ticket as printed was headed Liberal
in the paper the success was rejoiced
over as a"Liberal Democrat triumph;
while many of the officers elected in
the towns are reported as Demo
cratic"
The Oshkosh Northeastern notes
the same things there. 1t says:
"The Democrats have now tried
every dodge which their ingenuity can
invent TO carry this city at the NUM-
cipal election. They have changed
the name of their party. they have
run straight-out Democrats; they have
rnn Liberal Republicans and this year
they havepicked up several popular
Republicans, all to no purpose. We
saw tickets yesterday headed Liberal
Reform" L" City Democratic" and
Democratic. About as many of one
kind were voted as the other, as the
voters knew what it all meant. 1t was
the same one party-or "putrid remin-
escence' as of old, Notwithstanding
it. various names.
There is great deal of force in the
last remark. The DISCUSSES adopted
are altogether too thin, for any length
of time, to cover up the hateful form.
or disguise the unpleasant odor OF the
Democratic party. The opposition is
the same thing, by whatever name it
is called. Those who propose to con-
tend against Republicanism in Wis
consi had as we'll raise the old banner
and use the old rallying cries, as to at
tempt to hoodwi the people by cry
ing Reform where there is no reform
and if they do not soon avow their al
legiance to the Democracy, they will
find themselves outside OF any national
political organization. --State Journal.
