Mr.. HARRISON, of Milwaukee, intro
duced into the Assembly, last Wednes-
day, bill for the protection of news
papers against: malicious prosecution.
The bill provides that, if any parties bring
suit for libel against a paper, and
fail to sustain their claim, all costs, IN
Guiding those Of the defense, are to be
borne by the party bringing sssuch suit.
1t also provides that, if the suit for libel
is sustained, all costs shall be borne by
the paper. This is to prevent people
from bringing unjust suits against
newspapers, from mere spite. 1t would
seem to be a just law, and it is presum
ed will find favor with the Legislature.

killed short time ago on Red river by
the falling of a tree, and who was taken to
Gillet Town, where he lived, for burial,
was left at the school house over night,
while they broke the sad news to his
wife. No watchers were left with the
body, IS it was supposed that nothing
could get into the room where the body

following morning, 1t was found that

from the chest, neck and cheeks of the
corpse, so as to expose the bones.'

The House Committee on Patents,
has reported against the extension of
the patent on the Wheeler & Wilson
sewing machine, and the report was
promptly endorsed by the House. This
is right action, and will cause rejoicing
among the people-the poor laboring
women. The owners of this patent
have, during the past dozen or twenty
years, made money enough out of the
poor women of the country, in all con-
science, and, the term of their monopo-
" having expired, they ought now to
pe willing to let go their hold without
further ado.

MADISON CORRESPONDENCE.
MADISON, Feb. 14th, 1875.

hAD1SON, Il CT. AOfc'
The storm is over. The lightning b: S
struck. The oak of the northwest lies
low, and is succeeded By that scion OF
Scotland, Angus Cameron. lie Carpen-
ter had only used al little more discre-
ton he might have retained his seat as
l,ng as Webster, Calhoun or Benton.
A state Yields its influence at the nation
81 capital through its able representa-
tives, and if honorable, the longer they
are in Office the greater the influence.
South Carolina exercised great power
through Calhoun, whom she kept Sc
long at Washington. But when these
men swerve, even in slight degree,
from the path of .rectitude we must try
new men, It is hard for Republicans
to part with the services of SO brilliant
and able man as Matt. Carpenter; but
he can console himself with the refiec-
ton that it is the will of Allah and the
eighteen boilers.
Mr.. Cameron will be down here this
week. when there will be doubtless a
day of great rejoicing, of universal giee,
as al will vie in doing honor to the newly
elect. He is the key stone of harmony
between all parties. The Republicans
because he is one Of their party the
liberals and bourbons because he adopt
ed their platform. Such condition OF
things in politics seems anomalous.
An out-growth OF the melee engendered
by the Senatorial unpleasantness, is the
attempted impeachment of Judge
Small. It is dirty performance, and
it is generally thought that it will fall
through.
4 vigorous attempt was made last
week to repeal the act exempting the
West Wisconsin lands from taxation.
The discussion consumed several
hours Wednesday evening. The argu-
ment on the affirmative was mostly
maintained by Messrs. Flint, Lees and
Comstock, on the negative by Pinney
and Hudd. The two latter gentlemen
and Mr.. Flint made the ablest speeches.
Mr.. Flint, of Dunn county, though
quite a young man, is considered one of
the leaders of the Republican side.
i number of railroad bills have been
introduced. A memorial from the
North Western and st. Paul Companies
was presented to the r. r. Committee
a few days since. The most specious
arguments were used, but the men of
the committee are sound and honest,
and they will doubtless 90 the just thing
by the railroads and the people. We
are glad that the speaker had the judg-
ment to place 50 honest and intelligent
a man as Mr.. Smart on that important
committee.
Mr.. Reed, always watchful for the
interests OF the lake shore. has introduce
ed memorial to Congress for the i'm
provement of Kewaunee river and har-
Dor.
Manitowoc county can congratulate
itself on its efficient representatives.
Their places are seldom vacant during
session, and they attend to their duty.

The Eavy IN rims OF Peace.


Fortunately the corruption which has
brought into disrepute some of the civil de-
partments Of our government has not yet in
vaded either the army or navy the right and
left arms of what may be called an ambidex-
trous power. These forces are equally pure
and boast and enforce higher code of public
morals than that which is tolerated in the
civil administration Army and navy officers
are required to maintain high sense of per-
sonal honor, and the esprit du corps has
strong moral influence. No military or naval
officer would dare to engage in such doubt
full enterprises as are common in the Indian
Bureau the Post Office and Treasury depart
nents, the custom houses and Internal Rev
clue, and those who should dare TO make
their rank the basis Of pecuniary specula-
tion would be punished by expulsion from
the ,ervice For this reason the country
approves the proposition to place the Indians
under tie control of the army, which would
put an eod to the present system of cruelty
TO our savage wards and robbery Of the gov
ernment. We have equal reason for pride
and conhdNnce in our navy. 1t emerged
from the ws with our flag nailed to the
masthead, brighter for the battle smoke and
unstained by any act of treachery or
fear Yet there is a disposition on the
part OF the go'ernment to neglect the
navy in time of peace. well-equipped
feet seems to these alse economists super
fuous luxury, unles the nation is at war.
Yet nothing more efectually upholds the
honor and credit Of theUnited States abroad
than our navy. The reception of Admiral
Worden and his officers by the German gov
ernment, the services Of theAmerican squad
ron in China, the scientific explorations of
the Pacific Ocean bed last yea, are instances
of how the navy represents the 'ignity Of the
government and serves the coumon inter,
ests Of mankind. Now the Hatford, the
famous flagship of Farragut, has returned
from her three years cruise in Asiatc waters.
Although this cruise was generally uevent-
full the single service which the Rrtford
rendered at Tripoli was sufficient refnation
of the theory that naval force is not 1eces-
sary in peace. Her presence at Trooli
brought the full authority of the Unied
States visibly before the Turkish authoritis,
and was an important means of obtaining
prompt reparation for the insult they hat
offered to our flag. The navy in peace is not
only the conservator of the force which is
needed in war, but it is then able to execute
special services to science which no other
arm Of the government can perform. The
return of the Hartford and her gallant crew
to this port suggests an acknowledgment Of
the usefulness Of the American navy to the
interests of civilization and the importance
of maintaining it in condition worthy of
the nation whose flag it carries to all quar-
ters Of the globe.

portion Of our citizens seem willing to toll
crate Tammany it usurps their rights with
out stealing their money The fundamental
objection to such usurping political cabals
is that they deprive the citizens of the con-
troll of their own affairs and subvert the
foundations of democratic government
1t is no valid defence of Tammany or its
present chief to say chat they keep their
hands out of the city treasury. History sup
plies examples enough of exorbitant love OF
power unaceompanied by sordid greed Of
wealth or even ambition for Office. The
Order of Jesuits is a striking illustration.
The members Of that Order never violated
their VOWS of poverty they were bound by
their rules never to accept bishopric or any
ecclesiastical Office Of emolument, and yet
their rapacity for power was so great that
they were banished from several Catholic
countries, and in the early part Of
the last century Pope Clement XIV.
issued decree suppressing the Order,
which was rescinded only about sixty
years ago. The history of the Order proves
that the love of power for its own sake is one
of the strongest Of human motives, and ex-
amples Of a similar kind so abound in his
tory that we can easily account for Mr..
Kellys passion for control without ascribing
it to sordid motives 1t is all the more dam
gerous by it's freedom from Tweed's vulgar
thirst for lucre. Such political society as
Tammany is repugnant to the spirit of dem
ocratic institutions, because it substitutes
an irresponsible oligarchy for the will of
the people in the choice Of their Off
GERS Like the old Albany Regency and
like the Tweed Ring reformed Tam
many maintains itself by patronage.
General Porter was brought from New
Jersey and put at the head Of Tweed's old
department., that Of Public Works, because
he was willing to make over it's patronage to
Mr.. Kelly, who needed it as a means Of
maintaining his authority. It is the method
Of Tweed masked by a respectable figure
head. Mr. Kelly also adopts Tweed's
method of packing conventions and dictat-
ing candidates. Tammany under Mr.. Kelly
is just as usurping and anti-democratic as
Tammany ever was under Tweed, although
its present chief has been taught by the fate
Of his predecessor to avoid the pecuniary
corruption by which he fell. 1t is so utterly
repugnant to the principles of democratic
government that it cannot stand

The City Suits OF Recovery Against
the Ring.

One Of the convicted Ring thieves. James H.
Ingersoll, few days ago again appeared on
the witness stand to testify in the suit against
the estate Of the late County Auditor Watson
to recover the amount stolen by the conspi-
rators from the city treasury. Ingersoll re-
peated the history Of the frauds and forgeries
by which he and his associates managed to
plunder the city. His temperance on the
witness stand revives the question why he
should be allowed to retain and enjoy his
share of the robberies 1t may have been
expedient to extend pardon to him and to
relieve him from the further penalties of the
criminal laws in consideration of his turning
States evidence against his accomplices ; but
there can be no justice or propriety in suffering
him to retain his share of the stolen money
and live in afiuence upon it. Ingersoll,
Garvey, and oil the other thieves should be
made to disgorge and should consider them
selves fortunate in being spared the convicts
fate. Tweed has been in Jail longer than
Ingersoll was; yet we insist that he must
make restitution before he is suffered to re-
gain his liberty. Why should not Ingersoll,
ITtLTVey anu Inc TGSb dlSO Dc COu1pSllCu W
restore to the city the stolen money they now
enjoy2
1t is unfortunate that up to this time the
city has been unable to restore to the treas
ury its stolen funds. The attempt to re-
cover has thus far only taken more money
out Of the taxpayers pockets. In Tweeds an
swer to the six million suit, filed last week, it
is stated that q portion of the money assigned
by Keyser, one Of the Ring plunderers, to
Jackson Schultz, for the benefit Of the city,
has been received and handed over to the
peoples lawyers but we do not remember
to have heard of its reception by the city.
Where is it Has it been placed in the pub
lie treasury, and to what account2 II all
the money recovered is to be swallowed up
in legal expenses we do not see that any
body but the lawyers will be benefited.
These civil suits are desirable, in addition
to criminal prosecutions, because they Justly
take from the robbers the plunder they Sc
cured and which they have no right to enjoy.
They ought to be pressed against the whole
gang, including Ingersoll, Garvey and Key
scr. But if the city treasury is not to get
any Of the funds recovered such suits will
not be profitable to the people however salts
factory they may be as means Of punish
ing the public robbers

The Broken Savings Banks suSPiciOus
ProuOsfffOuA.

/ Propositions.
The proposition to reorganize the Third
Avenue Savings Bank, recently suspended,
and TO run il for the benefit of the depositors
may be q good one, but it should be eau
tiously entertained and very thoroughly scru-
tlnized An array of figures is made, in
tended to prove that the bank can be made
sei-supporting upon its present resources
with one hundred thousand dollars in d.
poslts added But to this pleasing pro
grainme are added the condition that Mr..
Oarinan, the receiver, who has got his grasp
on the assets in the interest of the hank and
not by the will of the depositors. shall he
allowed to retain possession, and the
announcement that no further statement
thsn that embraced in the january report
will be given to the public at present As
the January statement was fraudulent, de-
signed to represent the bank as solvent, and
as Mr.. Carman is understood to have sane
toned that statement some exception may be
fairly taken to both these provisos. 1t is
very evident that the depositors can have no
confidence whatever in Mr.. Carman or in any
other officer of the institution by which they
have been victimized, and that, if any such
arrangement as the one proposed be feasible,
it can as well be carried out by some other
competent receiver as by Mr.. Carman.
The danger is that these tempting bats
may be held out by the bank for the purpose
of inducing the depositors to leave the affairs
and the books and papers of the bankrupt
institution in the hands of its late Secretary.
The proposition only strengthens the suspi-
cion that there are matters connected with
the management which the bank people are
anxious to conceal. All manner Of injurious
rumors are ahoat; rumors not only OF mis-
management but Of direct dishonesty
which ought to be set at rest. The
manner of Mr.. Carmans appointment
as receiver is full Of suspicion. After
the Bank Superintendent, with knowl-
| edge of the bankrupt condition Of the
concern, had suffered it to continue its busi-
ness and enlarge the circle Of its Victims
the bank was allowed to steal up to Albany
without the knowledge of its creditors and
to get its own receiver secretly appointed
without their consent. Before the swindled
depositors knew that their money was gone
the bank doors and the banks books and
papers had been closed to them and they
were utterly powerless in the matter. 1t is
clearly the interest of the depositors and Of
the public at large that a new receiver,
not mixed up with the bank, should be put
| in charge Of its affairs. Let the whole trans
actions Of the concern, and the whole action
Of the Bank Department in relation thereto,
be brought to light. As we have said, an ar
rangement such as is proposed if practical
BILE, will not be retarded, but will be promot-
ed by the appointment of q capable receiver
on whom the depositors can agree and in
whom they have confidence, and the first
thing advisable to be done is to secure the
removal Of Mr.. Carman and the appointment
! of O new receiver in his place.
