MADISON CORRESPONDENCE.
MADISON, Feb. %, 1875.


To-day, the 25th, was the date
agreed upon By the Legislature for
final adjournment, but owing to the
amount CT unfinished business on hand,
and the delay occasioned by the ex-
animation of witnesses in the impeacn-
ment case of Judge Small and Jared
Thompson, j., of Milwaukee, an ex-
tension of The time for adjournment to
March 4th was concurred in, and it is
expected that by that time all business
will have been consummated, unless I'M
looked for delays are occasioned by pro
tracted debate on the amendments to
the s1Pottr law" and some other bills of
minor importance.
To-day is the day set for taking up
the ssPotter law bill, and at this time
it is impossible to predict what will be
done with it. Two bills for the amend
ment of this law are now before the As
sembly, both reported back without
recommendation. The notorious ''Dells
bill'' is again the cause of attracting
large lobby to the capital city. Among
the bills of local interest to your citizens
is one amendatory to the city charter,
which will pass a bill in re Iationto 18th
and 18th Streets which will also pass !;
a bill for limiting the time Of service of
County Treasurer to one term has been
killed; bill to extend the time for the
collection of taxes in Manitowoc County
by the town treasurers until the 18th of
March, viii probably fail to pass, it con-
ficting with the amendment to the con-
stitution concerning special legislation
there has, however, been passed, a law
extending the time for the collection Of
taxes throughout the state, until March
1Oth-which extension viii be of some
benefit to those in arrears. The bill for
regulating the rate of interest IN this
state by limiting the same to seven per
cent. failed to pass.
On Saturday last the legislature hav-
ing adjourned over until Tuesday fol-
lowing, your subscriber went to Beloit
and spent Sunday there as the guest OF
Mr.. and Mrs Hayes. Attending church
in the morning he must acknowledge
that the services were not sufficiently
attractive to withdraw his attention from
the observation of the numerous blondes
present and handsome ones generally,
too: never saw such a collection of this
style of beauty before in any place of its
size. On Monday, III company with
friend Hayes and wife,-who, by the
way, are but recently married, Mrs.
Hayes being one of the beautiful blondes
of Beloit, and is just as good as she is
handsome-drove over to GAINESVILLE
where we were met by Mr.. and Mrs.
Wheeler, of the latter city. Mrs. W.
made the return trip with us. We had
a gay time; our return trip being made
more iovial by the additional company,
and the keen sarcasm, wit and jokes Of
Mrs. W., and the well timed remarks of
Mrs. Ell. kept us in the best mood pos
sible, and the most we had to regret
was the shortness of the ride.
Beloit is not alone remarkable for its
blondes, but besides these and the fac
ulty some of it's citizens have for enter
tanning guests, it is also place of con-
siderable importance as a manufacturing
centre; quite extensive establishments
for the manufacture of reapers, wind
mills, scales, paper-nills boots and
shoes, besides others of less Importance
are doing q prosperous business here,
and your correspondent was quite sur
prised to meet with city of such COM
mercial Importance in the interior Of the
State.
On Monday night, returned to this
city, much pleased with my visit and
fully convinced that some Of the most
agreeable and hospitable people of the
State are to be found in Beloit
DUAL.
