Of late style parasols they have an ele-

THE steamer Chicago, of the Good
rich line, was utterly disabled on Satur-
day morning, by the breaking of her
crank-pin when about nine miles out
from Chicago, coming this way. The
steambarge Heath, which was passing
at the time, went to the assistance of the
disabled steamer, and towed her to with
In four miles OF Chicago, when the line
parted. The Chicago then anchored,
line, was sent after her, and took her
into port about 3 o'clock in the after
noon. Repairs were completed the
same evening.

OUR RAILROAD INTERESTS.

Last evening party of gentlemen
comprising Messrs. F. w. Rhinelander,
President of the NJ, T.. S. and ". r.
r., Gordon Norrey, Samuel S. Sands
and Isaac Ell. Knox, of New York, A
l.. Gary, J. P. @. Cottre1l and Fl. G. Il.
Reed, of Milwaukee, J. 81. Mead, of
Sheboygan, and Reeder Smith, of APP
pleton, arrived in the city, and walking
down to the mouth of the river on the
south side examined the ground with a
view to ascertaining the feasibility of
using it as depot ground at some future
time. At o'clock this morning the
same gentlemen several of which ale
prominent stockholders of our k;Silroad)
together with Messrs. S. A. Wood, j.
D. Markham, Mayor Jones, j. W.
Barnes, G.. c.. Barnes, Jacob Luebs ard
Jos. Rankin, of this city, took their de-
parture over the Western Road in q
special train, with view to examining
into the condition of the same, and will
proceed from Appleton to New London,
and from there, taking the 6. 3. and
MINI. Road, viii go as far as Winona.
The object of the visit to the section of
country beyond Appleton is undoubted-
ly to inform themselves of the practi-
cabihty OF making q connection at this
point with the Flint and Pere Marquette
Road across the lake, and the immediate
construction of the road from Appleton
to New London, from which direct
connection with the G. B. and M. Road
will be obtained, thus making new
line from the vast wheat fields of Min
nesota direct to Buffalo via Manitowoc
and Pere Marquette.
We have learned from gentlemen here
this morning that the managers of our
Road are in favor of making Manitowoc
the point of trans-shippnnent to the east,
and that all they ask of us is the priv
lege Of running their cars to the mouth
of the river; that they are willing to pay
for their depot grounds, and only ask to
be allowed TO make close connection
with a future line of steamers at point
where the river is open for navigation
during the entire year. Also, that they
would like to run their cars from where
the road strikes Franklin street down
that thoroughfare to 18th street 1.-TWO
streets west of Main) and establish their
passenger depot on the block west of
the Wis. Central Mill. AS we remark
ed last week, our city cannot do better
than to accord TO the Railroad Company
such privileges as will enable them to
make connections with the Flint and
Pere Marquette Road, and to place their
passenger depot in locality where the
trains running to it would inconvenience
no one to a great extent, and yet be
much better for all concerned.
The cry has been raised that the Rail
road Company would do nothing for
Manitowoc. The Company will prob
ably ere long make fair proposition to
our citizens, and if in their blindness they
refuse to accept on any trifing grounds,
on their heads be the consequences.

WE learn from the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin, of yesterday, that Michael Crosson,
first mate of the propeller Depere, was
sentenced to one and one-half month";
imprisonment at the house of Correction
for breaking August Merk's arm, April
9th. Merk was one of the hands en-
ployed on the propeller, and when he
asked for his pay, got into trouble with
Crosson, who is said to be fiery, hot
headed fellow. He picked up a capstain-
bar and made a lunge for Merk, who
threw up his arm to protect himself, re-
ceiving the blow upon the forearm,
which was thereby broken.

A MAsITowoc correspondent writes to
the Milwaukee Sentinel regarding the
crops in this county as follows: ''More
than one half of the wheat and at least
one third of the cats are sown. More
wheat viii be sown in this county than
in any previous year. Green peas are
extensively soTn in this county and are
accounted the most profitable crop.
This crop IS now nearly one half sown.
But little barley viii be sown this year.
Fruit, The best judges say, is not in
iured.

The LeDisiuture.

There is only about weeks time re-
naming to tho Legislature in which to
enact the most important bills of the
session, viz: the tax and the liquor Ii
cense bills. neither of which have yet
been printed. To be sure the members
may refuse to adjourn over on Friday
and thus gain couple of days time.
But we do not approve OF such haste.
The Legislature has refused to pay even
the small sum of "a n day for printing
its proceedings. and if it were not for
the libcrality Of the newspapers, the
people would be in total ignorance Of
what it is doing until it was too late to
take either side of inrusurc ". do
not wish to he regarded rs complaining
OF the cost OF the reports, but we must
say that both Houses, under the circum-
stances, should see the necessity of af-
iording the reporters IL fair opportunity
TO have their reports correct One re-
porter, and the only one engaged at
Dover competent TO make phonogra-
phic verbatim report, met with such
difficulties in this regard that he aban-
doned his duties, and Row the LegisIa.
turc rests upon the faithfulness Of ii
single reporter for each House.
The Act for the Promotion Of Inter
nal improvements passed the House
yesterday by only one majority, aud
therefore its opponents feel greatly en-
couraged that the bill will be defeated
IN the Senate.
A number OF our people strongly re
commend the propriety OF passing Il
Registry Law similar TO that Of Mary
land, and having the names of the vo-
ters all published in the newspapers, as
is done in that State. They say that is
the only way to prevent illegal voting
by negroes. Large lists OF the names of
negroes who have no existence are gath
cred up all over the county and our
Levy Courts are made TO put them on the
assessment lists, and to meet the names
negroes are brought to the polls and
voted who have never had residence
IN the State, and often mere boys Of l8
and 20 are voted. as has been proved in
numerous instances after the election
was over.
This work costs the Republican party
much time and money, and it costs the
Democrats time and money to defeat
the object Of the schemers. A Registry
Law has often been demanded by the
Radicals and therefore they could not
object to one being passed by the Demo
Gratis. III it works well in Maryland
why would it not work well herep II
the Radicals get into power they will
pass one anyhow. If the Legislature
sees proper there is ample time to com.
plete good law such as secures oul
Maryland neighbors from the inroads OF
negroes from the District Of Columbia
and Virginia.

From tho Philadelphia Chronicle.
Northern Cities f,I the South

Even New York, with all her liber.
ality towards the South, begins to
dread the possibility of losing the
trade of the South, which, for many
years, has been 80 profitable to her.
The following from an article on the
subject from the Day Book, is as an.
plicable to Philadelphia as to our sis
ter city, and its perusal IL commended
to the attention of those Journals that
have been so persistcntly engaged In
preventing the restoration Of political
freedom to the South:
"Unlcss New York strives TO build
up the South through liberal politj-
cal policy toward that now abused
section, helping the South out of her
political morass and into the old high
way of commercial progress, and
reaping, as of old, great profits out Of
her restored Southern trade-unless
this city gets back her old commercial
relations with the cotton and tobacco
sections, some of us may live to see
the great and brilliant Central Park
converted into cow pasture, and the
palatial mansions of Fifth avenues
used for hay lofts. Let the purse
proud nabobs, who wonder what has
paralyzed their real estate, remem.
Der the remedy for its restoration
political freedom for the South"
AS the English are about starting
lines Of steamers for Norfolk and per.
haPs other Southern ports there may
be much more to fear in the above
than now appears.

The Ice Gorge.

At Port Jarvis, New Jersey, the
chief loss Is by tho destruction of
bridges. Four of the five spans of the
Delaware Railroad bridge, three miles
west of the city, were carried down
by the rush OF ice and water, and
swept away the Barrett Bridge below.
The debris OF the two structures lodged
upon Nannoy's island, and the suspen
sion bridge was thus saved. The
Delaware Railroad bridge was finished
in 1872, alta cost of 100000. The
Barret Bridge Company loses about
$l5,OOO, and the losses in the town ag-
grcgate s20, 900. Arrangements have

The Nesc York Sauings Banks.

A"e NeO fOFE SdCthgs Banks.
The legislature OF New York has ava
kened to the necessity OF taking mea-
sures for the protection of her citizens
against frauds of savings banks. These
banks have heretofore been required to
make and publish sworn statements an
nually, and now the legislature proposes
to go step further and prohibit them
from investing in certain doubtful secu-
rlties, which have been the cause of nu-
merous losses by depositors. In refer
ring to this matter tho Journal of Com.
D,erce says;
foremost among these il the provis-
ION ruling out all the rotten or doubtful
Donus from the securities in which the
savings banks are permitted TO invest.
In TINS there has been dangerous lati
tude hitherto, owing to the wrongful
construction of the phrase "at discre-
ton which occurs in some of the bank
charters. The words "at discretion" are
shown by the context to refer to u range
OF choice inside OF the securities allowed
py the general statute; but officers of the
less conservative institutions have taken
Ihe liberty OF going outside of that class
at discretion" literally. The yearly re-
ports to the Bank Department indicate
the extent OF this practice, which would
involve risks but for the jealous care
with which the Superintendent has ex-
acted the lodglnent in his hands of funds
ifom these careless or speculating trus-
Lees, Tor the full protection of depositors,
ihe kinds of securities in which savings
Danks Investments may be made should
be narrowed down. IL is proposed. for
one good thing, that Investments shall
be forbidden in the bonds of any State
which has defaulted in the PAYMENT of
any principal or interest within ten wears.
The dishonesty which seems to be in
separable from railroads in this country
taints everything grow ing out of or rela-
ted to those enterprises; and it is per-
fectly natural that town-railroad bonds
should be repudiated by dishonest COM
nunitles, when the roads themselves
have proved but frauds and shams. One
other point demands the earnest atten
ton OF the Legislature. 1t is the pro-
vision forbidding any compensation to
be paid trustees (save as ofiicers), and
also excluding them from the loan or use
OF the funds of the bank. This will ar
should put an end to the abuse of nav.
ing large fees to trustees as ATTORNEYS
The Legislature manifests O desire to
make really strong. and good Savings
Bank law, and thereby to supply a great
public need. All the well regulated
banks are sincerely anxious to have such
q law passed, as they know that their
business will increase in proportion as
