ausen statements made touching the
richness Of the copper lodes which
are reported to be found, every once
in while, in New Mexico, Tennee-
sSee, Arizona, North Carolina, Utah,
and the deuce knows where. Now
never IN the history of the country
did the copper prospects of North
ern Michigan appear better than
they do at this time, and we so
stated in these columns within the
past SIX weeks, backing our asSer-
ton up with statistics showing the
operations of our mines for the year
terminating with the last of Novem-
ber, which our cotemporaries pub
iShed without a word of comment.
On the other hand, some "wild en-
thusiast," to draw it mildly, picks up
a nugget OF copper ore somewhere
in the hills of New Mexico, Utah or
Arizonr, and taking the figures of
the assayers, dishes up a story of
the length, breadth, depth and per-
centage ofcopper veins which are
going to knock Lake Superior cop
per mines higher than a kite. The
Eastern class Journals referred to
have a weakness for publishing this
kind Of statements, and apparently
great aversion for furnishing
their readers with good, wholesome
and truthful reports concerning the
mineral resources of the Upper Pen
insuIa, which possess real CONNER
cial grandeur. and ought to make
sensible class journal editors

SUPPLEMENT To
THE COMMERCIAL TIMES.

The Wisconsin Publishing Company take
pleasure in announcing that they will begin,
with the year 1875, the publication of daily
and weekly newspaper in the city of Milwau
kee. The Company has already purchased
the Milwaukee Egeai5g Times, the Milwaukee
Journal Of Commerce, and the Wisconsin Latna-
herman. The subscribers and patrons of the
Epe1eiag Times will be served with the daily
Commercial Times two editions of which
will be issued every afternoon. The subscri-
bers and patrons of the Milwaukee journal of
Commerce will be served as heretofore with
the Milwaukee Journal Of Commerce which,
greatly enlarged and improved, viii eonsti-
tute the weekly edition of the Commercial
Times. Tne Wisconsin, LaDabeysaap will be
published without change of name.
The Wisconsin Publishing Company will
begin business without debt and with ample
capital An abundance of first class talent
has been engaged. to make success a certainty.
The primary object is to make a journal
that shall earn support by ability, candOr,
fearlessness, courtesy, and veil digested sum-
maries of current news. 1t is designed TO
employ brains, industy and Judgment enough
to give the pith and marrow OF the worlds
daily history in a clear, condensed and reada
ble form, so that busy people may find much
In politics, the Commercial Times Will aim
at True Democracy-T Thomas Jefferson dem

will be the advocate of principles rather than
of party The leading political principles
which will guide the Commercial Times are:
Tariff for revenue only: the money recogniz-
ed as common standard by the commercial
world personal liberty as opposed to sumpt-

the sake of upholding any party or its lead

The Milwaukee Journal of Commerce as the
weekly edition of the Chnmercioi Times, will
aim to be the leading exponent of the com

maintain the reputation it has established for
independence, fairness, accuracy and com
pleteness. 1t will add to its present scope
digest of the general news Of the week and
also such literary, political, financial, social
and agricultural features as will make it
complete end attractive family paper.

THE PRA YER or OUR PEOPLE,

ne n Il En- kOP VOA IEOILE.
The people of Northern Wiscon-
sin-for the following reasons, pray
for renewal of the St. Croix &
Lake Superior Land Grant
That the extension being given,
they will build the railroads within
the period limited, and observe all
the conditions. That the justice OF
the government will thus be repaid
promptly and without default.
That the lands granted will come
back, in dollars, ly sale of those re-
manning to actual settlers at double
price in permanent evenue by throw
ing them into ths mass of private
perty.
That the iron, reduced upon the
spot, may be carried with least cost
to consumers, now counted by mil
lions
That the breadstuffs of the West
and South may exchange for our
mineral and wood, for manufac-
tures, and for the products and mer-
chandise of the lakes
That inland towns and cities may
spring up with their civilizing eff
tects, and cultivated fields suppIanC
the forests.
That communications from cen
ter to circumference Of our State
may be enabled, and a circulation es-
tablished between its heart and eX-
tremities.
That the enterprise of surround
iag States may be emulated and
this section kept from disparage-
ment when contrasted with their
excelIing thrift and energy.
That the inhabitants have stead
fastly held to this country upon the
faith ard promise of these roads,
aud their failure will result in sore
disappointment, injustice and loss
to multitudes.
That we ask not the creation of a
new but the renewal of an original
land grant, under which more than
two hundred and forty miles Of rail
way have been built as would the
whole long since, had not first i
monetary, and then a political crisis
arrested the work.
That the portion left to which
time applies, is that between the
head of Mississippi navigation and
Lake Superior, the connecting
link and completion of the
circuit, which will supply the
wants and demands herein referred
to, and a thousand other relative
comforts and blessings.
Aud for these grounds and many
more akin, we do soIemnly demand
that the Grant be continued, so as
to enable the building of a railroad
50 vital to the Development of this
portion of our State.

RATLROAD ITEMS.

There are SAID to be 1000 labor
ers at work on the lower end Of the
Chicago and Northern Pacific Air
Llne-nOw known as the Chicago,
Portage 81 Superior Railroad.
Now if Congress will only renew
the s.. Croix land grant, we shall
expect to at once see work com
menced at this place by that Com
pany, upon whom the Wisconsin
Legislature last winter conlerre
that portion Of the land grant from
Superior 10 junction with the
North Wisconsin, about 90 miles.
Rumor has it that the St. Paul,
Saltwater and Taylors Falls Rail.
road Co, are arranging TO extend
their road in this direction from
Saltwater to TayIors falls.
The West Wisconsin Railroad
has recently passed from the con.
troll of the MeSsrs Baldwin, and is
now under the management of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway
Company. We hope that Messrs
Baldwin & Humbird, to whom great
credit is due for constructing the
West Wisconsin, arenotlosers blythe
transfer. We are glad to learn that
the transaction does not intefere
with the present or future Of the
North Wisconsin, which these same
gentlemen, have with so much en-
energy been pushing through from
the St. CrOIx towards Lake Super
ior, the past year.

deprived or the right to build west
to Sheyenne, or of the right to exist
as corporate body.
If the amendment of March 1861
IS valid, then the first is superim-
posed by a second corporation,
which had no power to build to
Nebraska, but full power to build a
road to ST. Paul. The mere state
ment of the case makes apparent an
lrreconciable contiict between these
Legislative creations, and it is mani
fest that the L. 5. q NJ. Company
is maltormatlon, an excrescence,
without the breath of life, and so ut
teriy differing from the original body
in It's purpose and functions, as to
be incapable Of assimilation with it,
or sustentation by it.
The old body corp orate they could
not put to death by enactment, and
IN attempting to snpplant it by a
new body, the legislature outraged
the fundamental principle Of impen-
etrability-that two things cannot
occupy the same space at the same
time. There has been only one
thing on the earth like it, yet how
unjike-Chang and Eng The diff
ference Is, that Chang was not
smothcred that Eng might be born !;
they coexisted rs twins, with inter
dependent ligatures and circulations;
they married, begat children, and
had separate possessions and took
turns, of stated days in visiting
wives and estates.
Did the legislature attempt par
ody on this, the only successful per
formance Of the kind, since the
world began? If so, how frightful
the failure of a cross Of the State
Legislature upon a territorial char
ter, with such an awful constitution
al inhibition intervening. Let it be
q solemn warning forever
But the amendment of 1861 is also
a glaring violation Of the Minnesota
constitution before quoted, in that
it attempts specially to form a cor
poralion not municipal-to create a
railroad company by special legisla-
ton.
The Supreme Court have given
the undoubted law of this case.
What the consequences to ensue
may be, will interest a great many
bond holders, and other creditors of
the /. S & NJ. and the public at
large.

in the fact that Eastern class jour

Superior, besides containing the on

THREE kINGs.-Just now there
are three kings before the country,
namely: King Kalakaua, Katie King,
and Col. William King. The first
is an honest, sensible man, who
asks no particular favors of any
body. The second is buxom
young woman, with a soft arm, a
round waist, and a warm hand,
whom Robert Dale Owen mistook
for a spirit. The third was Post
master of the Forty-second Con
gre>s, and handled several hundred
thousand dollars of the Pacific Mail
corruption fund He is the one the
public is now anxious to hear from.

The ravages of diptheria in
Australia have been so extensive
within the last few years that the
government offered a large reward
tor any certain method Of cure and
among other responses this one by
Mr. Greathead, who at first kept
his method secret, but afterward
communicated it freely to the pub
lie. Il is simply the use of sui
phuric acid, Of which four drops
are diluted in three-fourths Of a
tumbler of water, to be administer
ed to grown person, and a small
er dose to children, at intervals not
specified. The result is said to be
a coagulation of the diptheric mem
brane and its ready removal by
coughing. 1t is asserted that where
the case thus treated had not adVan-
ced to a nearly fatal termination
the patient recovered in almost
every instance.

THE NEW RESUNP7IONL LAW

The following are the leading
provisions of the specie resumption
bill which has passed both houses of
Congress by very large majorities--
IS in the Senate and 38 in the
House, and has been approved by
the Presidents:
FirSt-Free banking to be open
to all individuals and associations,
without limitation of capital.
Sec0Hd-The retirement of an
amount Of greenbacks equal to eigh-
ty per cent. Of the amount of new
national notes issued, until the green
back circulation shall be reduced to
S3OO,OO0,O0O, after which no further
reduction of the greenback~ is to
take place. 1t is claimed that by
this provision there will be neither
expansion nor contraction of the
currency, as about twenty per cent.
is now required as bank reserves.
Ihird-The withdrawal and des-
truction Of the fractional currency
and the substitution OF silver CONS,
the arrangement to go into effect as
soon as practicable under the di-
rection Of the Secretary of the
Treasury, who is authorized to use
the surplus money for supplying the
silver coin, and if this is not sufii-
cient to sell the requisite amount of
bonds of the new series to obtain
the funds for that purpose.
F01rth-Removing the cost for
the coinage of gold at the several
mints.
FJM-The resumption of specie
payments to begin Januaryl, 1879

services to Italy. The ItaIian Par
liment with an honorable nnanimIty
granted him pension from the pub

on the patriotic ground that the
Italian finances are in so impoverish-

has no right to accept such a gift.
Now let all the people ofItaly make
