week, and was attended by clergy
men from all parts Of the State. The

matters more directly connected with

was adopted wherein was recognized
the superior claims of the Republican
party to the allegiance Of colored

just recognition of tho right of able
and honest men to prefermcnt in the

It transpires that our information
concerning the reported subscription
of $4,000 by Mr.. John Burnside to
the capital stock Of the New Orleans
apa Pacifc Railway Company was
correct. Mr.. burnside did not sub
scribe dollar to the stock, but a
New Orleans merchant named John
Preston, Esq. did invest 500, 900, and
the city papers got the names mixed
and accredited the subscription to
Mr.. Burnside.

SPANISH AFFAIRS.


The tide Of battle in that unhappy
country, revolutionary Spain, appears
70 have turned completely in favor Of
the adherents of the established gov
eminent. According to cable advi-
ces, the armies Of Alfonso are moving
steadily and VIGOROUSLY forward,
while the Carlists are as steadily fall
ing back and their field Of operations
becoming daily more limited. Two
important provinces heretofore occu-
pied by .Carlist forces are now wholly
in possession of government troops,
and it is not Improbable that the city
Of Estella, the headquarters and
stronghold Of Don Carlos, will soon
be invested BY the victorious enemy.
Reports relative to Gen. Dorregary
and bis army are conflicting. 1t is
claimed by the Alfonsists that Dor
regary has been wounded and driven
across the frontier into France accom-
panied by a remnant of his force,
| which has been divided and demoral-
lied dispatches from Carlist sources
fatty contradict these statements and
assert that Dorregary has not only
ceased his retreat, but has rallied his
troops and turned upon Ills pursuers
with such vigor and effect they have
been compelled to retire before his
onslaughts. 1t will be impossible to
determine for Il few days which of
these versions is the correct one. but
irrespective of this, there is no rea-
sonable doubt that the general situa-
ton is favorable to the cause of AL
fonso. In view Of the progressive
and liberal spirit Of the provisions of
the proposed constitution which is in
course Of preparation at Madrid, the
lovers Of civil and religious liberty in
all countries will sympathize with the
Alfonsists and wish them success, that
they may have fair opportunity to
inaugurate the comparatively cnlight-
ened system of government for which
this constitution will provide.

A most ridiculous and uncalled for
editorial article appears in the Terre-
bonnie Republican Of Saturday last,
referring i'll part to several squibs
which the CHIEF has at divers times
published concerning the Thibodaux
Sentinel and the editor of its English
pages. Our readers will remember
that in none of these squibs has there
been any approach to blackguardism
or to personality inconsistent with
professional courtesy; our tone has
been one Of raillery, or good-natured
satire, and nothing has been farther
from our intentions than an attack
upon the character or reputation of
our contemporary Of the Sentinel. !
When, therefore, the writer for the
informs his readers that
we have. been engaged in "black-
or "mud throwing he
bears false witness against the CHIEF,
and unless he possesses the manliness
to correct an impression that can not
be substantiated BY any Of our utter
ances which seem to have given him
such grievous offense, he will convict
not us, Of blackguardism and
mud throwing.

Relief for the CRASH opper Sufferers.

Mr. r. P. Eaton, of this city, propos-
IS visiting Kansas next week and offers
to take along with him, and see
properly distributed, all contributions
for the relief OF those unfortunate persons
who were made destitute by the great raid
OF grasshoppers last summer. There are
many persons in this city who have an album
dance of partly-worn clothing that they can
easily dispense with and undoubtedly would
be glad to have an opportunity of sending them
to needy ones in Kansas. There are very few
cities in this State but what have done some
thing for those who were made destitute in
Kansas and Nebraska by the grsshorpers,
bu: IS yet Manitewoc has done nothing; and
now that an opportunity is presented we
hope that our citizens viii take Mr.. Eaton at
his word aud load him with their contrihu-
tons. Articles contributed should be left at
his residence On Sth street previous to next
Thursday as he inc lis to start .tr the West

LoGGfSG.-Mr. Pankratz, Of the firm Of
Pankratz & Co. of this city, tells us that they
have been unusually successful in their log
ging operations during the winter and are
now in hopes of getting them all down when
the river breaks up.
We also understand that Cooper & Jones,
whose mills are at Neshoto have sIcceeiet
in getting out supply Of logs sufficient to
keep their mills in operation during the en-
tire season. We are inclined to think that
our lumbermen are more fortunate than most
of the lumbermen of the State as the past
winter has been rather an unfavorable one
for getting out logs and but very few men
have got out any where near as many as they
did last season.

BETTER TIMES. There seems to be a
general belief among business men through
out the West that there will be an improve
ment in all kinds of business as socn as
spring opens. The great panic which has
paralyzed the commerce of the country for
the past two years was the result merely of a
loss of confidence among business men in one
another. and not want of money wherewth
to carry on the various branches of business.
At the close of the War, when prices we're al
abundance of money in the country and tn ere
has been no lessening of the amount since
but through a want of confidence in the bust
ness men of the country it has ceased to cir
culate freely. Money is worthless when
idle, and those who have been keeping it
from circulation during the past two years
are beginning to learn that they have been
sacrificing their own interests in doing so.
The farmers CT this county, as class, are
in much better circumstances than they were
at this time last spring, notwithstanding the
winter has been an unusually long and Sc
we're one, and much of the hay and grain
which they had calculated on selling ha.
been consumed by their stock The prices
paid for all farm products, with tie exception
of wheat, are from so to 100 per cent higher
than those of last year, and there is consider
ably more money distributed throughout the
county among the farmers, at present, than
there has been for the past two years. Ever
since the panic farmers, aud in fac, all classes
of men, have endeavored to meet the strin-
gency of the times by reducing their out-lays,
and now from sheer necessity they are forced
to make many purchases, which will neees-
sarily put more or less money into cireula-
ton, and this money will help to re-establish
the faith of business men so that we may,
with considerable certainty, predict better
times to be near at hand

THE concert given by the Manitowoc Ger
man Singing Society on last Sunday evening
at Turner Hall was rather poorly attended
owing to the bad walking and bad weather.
The instrumental music performed on this
occasion showed high degree of skill on
the part ofthe performers and some OF 1t was
really beautiful. The singing of 'Oh Could

and Miss Richter was loudly applauded; and
the audience would not allow Miss Hecker
to retire from the piano until she had gone
through with for the second time the beautiful
SONATA which she so exqusitely performed.
