THE STATE Board of Charities and Re
form visited the institutions of Milwau-
kee last week and were going TO Oshkosh
this week Monday according to the
Milwaukee papers. They will probably
be in Kenosha before long to visit the
Jail and poor house. Heretofore they
have come to Kenoshs on the 8 O'Clock
train and have lefton the IL o'clock. They
found their way directly to the jail, into
it and through it, and away, with or
without visiting the poor house, and
without calling ON any of our citizens,
not even the Chairman Of the Board of
Supervisors or the County Clerk. And
generally but very few of our people
knew anything of thelr being in Keno
sha till after they had been here and
were gone. During these hasty visits
1t is reasonable to suppose that they
made no notes and depended on their
memories to write out their reports, and
hence the inaccuracies and exaggera-
tions contained in their reports.
Now we would respectfully say to
these visitors that the inmates of every
well-ordered family residence do not
al ways have their mornings work done
up W 8 or 9 o clock so rs to be willing
to have unannounced visitors enter every
part of their dwelling, even to their
sleeping departments, and report to the
public the result OF their observations.
with unfavorable inaccuracies and exag-
gerations. And we would respectfully
suggest that, at their next visit, they
lake time to visit our Jail and poor house
at seasonable hours, IS we'll as ut ..uuseA-
sonable hours, ii they think 1t advisable
to make uDannounced unreasonable WIS.,
its, and to see and confer with some OF
our citizens who may feel to join with
them in efforts for the improvement OF
our Jail and poor house, and especially
the Chairman of the Board of Supervi-
sors and the County Clerk By so doing
they may render their visit useful, rather
than detrimental or scarcely beneficial
as heretofore To improve the inmates
ofthe Jail aud the poor-house, it would
be advisable to gain the good graces and
the good feelings of the prisoners and
the poor. To improve the Jail and
the poor house aud their appnrtenances
it would be advisable to gain the good
graces and the good feelings of some
who might be influential In effecting
their improvement. II would seem thst
the State Board of Charities al d RetoIm,
judging from their visits and their re.
ports Of their visits here, have entirely
overlooked or ignored these essential
requisites, thereby establishing their
entire unftness for the successful dis
charge of the duties OF their Offices. And,
as the Board is again about to visit
Kenosha, We would respectfully suggest
to them that it is inounben upon chem
to strive to gain the good graces and
good feelings of the prisoners. or the
poor, or some OF the people and to
establish their fitness for the discharge of
the duties of their offices.

CONGRESS will meet on the First Mon
day in December, which will be a week
from next monday. It will be the Second
Session of the Forty-.hird Congress. 1t
Il be the last session of Republican
Congress, till, by future elections, the
Republicans secure majority in both
Houses. In the next House of Represen-
tatives the Democrats will have about 80
majority, the Senate remaining Republic
can. Whether the Republicans or Dem
ocrats will be in the ascendency in the
45th Congress will depend much upon
what Congress does at its next session,
and also at the LIST session of the 44tn
Congress. The Republicans will be held
responsible for the Legislation of the next
session, and the Democrats mainly for the
legislation OF the frst session Of the 4Ath
Congress.
The currency, interstate commerce, and
the finances, will be important qestions at
the next session of Congress The civil

of great Importance. And the lawlessne ss,

SESSION of Congress, with an economical

ment, and a proper respect to public op-
lnion on the part of the administration
and the way will be prepared for Re.
publican ascendency in the 45th Congress.
And. if the Democrat develop, in tie
1st Session of the 44th Congress, what
their action would be if in the ascenden-

the Republicans will be in the asce nd ency

But the questions requiring settlement
atsthe next session of Congr ess are nor

THE COLORADO EXPLORATIONS

An interesting field fol. antiquarian resea rch
has been opened by the discoveries recently
brought to light by the expedition sent out
by the Government under Professor Hayden.
1t seems little surprising that so much
interest is manifested in the results of expen-
sive and perilous explorations in Greenland,
Africa and other more distant portions of the
earth, and so little should hitherto have been
known Of a country so near home, which
now seems to present field of reseach as
interesting as those which have immor,allzed
the names OF Franklin, Livingston and 9th
ers whose adventures cost them their lives.
With the Pyramids of Egypt, the ruins of
Nnevah, P0mpeii and other ancient cities,
everybody has become more or less acquain-
ted through the numerous volumes which
have been published with regard to them,
and every year adds to the number of those
who. from our own country. have wandered
with eager curiosity amid those famous yes
tlges Of former grandeur but 1t is only Just
now that we are Informed that wonders
equally attractive, and of remote antiquity,
have remained unexplored and unknown
within the boundaries of our own favored
land.
In tho southeast corner OF Colorado, at
the headw aters of the Rio Mancos, the Hay
den expedition has discovered the ruins OF
cities, bearing oil the evidences OF advanced
civilization that, from all appearances, must

and cedar sticks set in the walls over the

BILE hieroglyphics which may yet be so far
deciphered as to Disclose the secret of those
marvellous relics Of aboriginal industry and
art. On mounds of earth are numerous gfrag-
msnts of pottery glazel within, and impress
ed with various designs without. There are
also the crurabling bones of people ofglgan-
tic stature, mingled with household utensils,
implements OF war, and relies of agriculture,
education and art. AS far as could be ascer-

Another Controversy About Hoop Iron or
Iron Hoop.

Another Controversy About Hoop Iron or
Iron Hoop.
Before Judge Woodruff.
A case somewhat similar to that already re-
ported in the HERALD, In regard to what is hoop
iron or iron hoop, was commenced yesterday IN
this Court before Judge Woodruff and q jury. 1t
was an action by Long 4 Ogden, iron importers OF
this city, to recover back from the government a
sum of money which. they allege they paid under
cessive amount OF duty on an importation
OF iron, commercially known as .'cut hoops.n
When the jury being sworn some
OF them did not rise; and this TACT not escaping the
observation OF the Judge, he observed that the
solemnity or the administration OF an oath was a
thing OF SUFFICIENT Importance TO induce them to
rise. They should remember that they were not at
the Custom House.
The only question the jury has to determine In
plaintiffs, commonly known ana called "cut
hoops" comes within the denomination OF "manu-
facture5 OF lron,o on which section 352 OF the Law
OF 1861 places duty on importation OF thirty-nve
per cent ad yalorenl or under the classification OF
hoop which Is covered by section $50 OF the same
hall cents per pound. The case OF the plaintiffs
Is that the article they have imported comes I'M
der the former classification and duty, while the
point made by the government is to the effect
which the duty OF one and one.half cents per
pound should DE assessed. Trials involving the
same question have been previously brought be-
fore the Court by the parties to the present salt,
which viii involve considerable amount OF expert
testimony TO settle the question OF fact unless

Action to Recover Duties.

Before Judge Blatchford.
Yesterday the case OF the United states vs. James
Leahy was brought on for trial in this Court. The
defendant is an importer, doing business In this
city, and in the month OF December, 1871, ne i'm.
ported quantity OF silk and cotton goods, the
foreign value OF which was admitted to be f3So.
The duty at fifty per cent amounted to
$40 SCI The defendant gave a check to-
his broker to pay this amount at the Gus
tom House. The entry clerk put his initials on the
paper to snow that 1t had been through his hands.
The entry paper from the naval ONCE and the in
voice were produced, but there was no entry from
the Collectors ONCE, and clerk from the Custom
house testified That SUCH paper had been looked
Tor, but could not be found. The testimony ON the
part OF the government went to show that on this
transaction no sum but S43 SO had been paid
While the defendant produced the check he had
claimed that the TACT Of the goods having been
delivered to hun from the Custom House was
pr,1nG tIcie evidence that the full and
proper duty mad been paid. He mad ne
receipt. however, to show what sum was
actually paid, as the Custom House officers do not
give receipts tor the payment OF duties, but
merely issue permits to remove goods when the
duty on them IS paid. The broker who paid the
duty in this instance was not produced, as it ap.
peared he had left New York about three years
ago, and from the time OF the importation two
years mad elapsed before the importer heard that
there was any lrreguarlty or difficulty about the
payment OF the duty. In the course OF the trial
Judge Blatch!ord laid 1t down as the law that the
OituS was upon the defendant to show, by aIrma-
tive evidence, that the duty had been actually
paid. The case WIN probably be concluded to-day.

Westchester County Real Estate Liti-
cation.


Before Judge Tappen.
In 1871 suit was begun by Henry T. Niles
against Thomas r. Hawley and his wife, Augusta
Hawiey. to remove Hawey from his position as
trustee OF certain real estate in Westchester
county, and for an accounting with him and his
wife, 1t IS stated IN the complaint that In the
spring OF 1870 Andrew Wilson purchased at Mama
roneck, Westchester county, the Capp farm OF 500
acres, the Hawiey Iarm OF 200 acres and the Me-
intyre !arm OF 100 acres adjoining lch Other aud
worth Sooo,C COO for the purpose OF subdIyidng 10
Tor suburban residences. After this Mr. Wilson
became embarrassed and committed sui
eide. His creditors arranged with Z. K. Haw-
ley. one OF the defendants. to act as trustee and
carry Out Wilson'S plans IL is claimed that Haw-
ley violated the agreement IN many ways and 1t Is
also sought to charge his vile as trustee, on the
theory That she knew OF the trust, and that on
bogus sales OF lots, embracing about $50 acres she
bought them IN. After the trial had progressed
some way the Court ordered other parties to be
brought IN. This has been done.
The case was before the Court again yesterday.
the defendants deny tnat they had intention of
wronglng the creditors and assert that they acted
Tor the pest interest of the creditors. They further
claim that the effect OF the documents between
themselves ana the creditors was TO create con-
tracts only and not as trustees.
