The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1875-08-05

GEN. SCOTT made speech, the other
day, and took occasion to advocate the
payment of the rebel debt, and also for
the slaves emancipated by President
Lincoln's proclamation. The General
is a citizen of South Carolina, and
aspires to a seat in the United States
Senate from that State It is to be pre-
sJlmed, therefore, that he advocates
measures which he knows to be accept
able to the people of the South. This
fact gives significance to his remarks.
In that light they indicate that move
ment is to be made upon the national
treasury for the enormous sum that
would be necessary to pay the rebel debt
and compensate the late slave holders
for the loss of their human property.
How formidable this movement may be
it is impossible now to say, but it is
quite clear that safety lies in crushing
it beneath q weight of popular condem-
nation from the North. And this feel
ing can be best expressed in Repub-
hcan majorities; for it is that party only
that can be relied upon to maintain the
principle that it caused to be embodied
in the constitution: ssNeither the Unit
ed States nor any State shall assume or
pay any debt or obligation incurred in
aid of instruction or rebellion against
the United States, or any slave; but all
such debts, obligations and claims shall
be held illegal and void. Sentinel.

SCHROEDER, the young German of
Baltimore who recently announced his
determination to go to Europe in bal
loon, has actually commenced the con-
struction of his air-ship. He employs
two.gangs workmen, and OF, eating
his work night and day. Schroeder is
evidently in earnest, as it does not APP
pear that anybody is to get any paying
advertising out of the scheme.
GLOOMY crop reports are received
from the central and southern portions
of Illinois and Indiana, where the heavy
rains of the past two or three days have
made terrible havoc among the half har-
vested grain. One account speaks of
swollen river whose surface was dotted
with wheat -sheaves washed from the
fields; and from the sections mentioned
the advices show widespread destruc-
ton and damage suffered by the farmers.
IT cost the United States Government
the snug little sum of $275, 500, 600, ex-
elusive of the sinking-f fund requirement,
to keep the machinery Ia motion dnring
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1876.
There was some good guessing done in
this direction. Gen. Garfield, Chair
man of the Committee on Appropria-
while Secretary Bristow, one year later,
estimated the expenditures at $275. Co.,
xtrhfa oh of
the way.
SECRETARY Bristow aud Commission
Ell Pratt have perfected a new system Of
internal revenue stamp cancellation by
which they expect to circumvent frauds
by distillers and rectifiers They have
undoubtedly devised plan much sup
erior to the one now in vogue, but it
will be something new and surprising if
the joint silrewdness and ingenuity of
the Treasury Department and Internal
Revenue Bureau shall succeed in max
ing the whisky tax fraud proof. How
ever, to have increased the difficulties
and facilitated the detection of revenue
evasion is n considerable achievement.
THE remains of ex-President Andrew
Johnson were yesterday consigned to
mother earth at his old home at Green
vile. The attendance was immense,
people having come from all parts of the
country to pay the last tribute of respect
to the memory of one who, although in
life often judged harshly and severely
condemned, in death is recognized as a
noble soul, and an honest man. The
Masonic fraternity, of which Mr.. John
son was member, consigned his re-
mains to the grave, and dropped ever
greens upon his coffin, shrouded with
the American flag. The scene is de-
scribed as touching in the extreme, and
will never be forgotten by those who
witnessed it.-Chicago Times.

THE steamer City of Ricb u ond of the
Inman line, which arrived at New York
from Liverpool and Queenstown on Sat
urday, made what is claimed TO be the
quickest time on record between the
quarantine station on either sides of the
Atlantic. The vessel left Queenstown
at 1870 p. NJ. on Friday, July Is, and re-
ported off Sandy Hook at 11:30 A. NJ.
Saturday, July "a, making the total dis
lance in days and 10 hours. At p. NJ
Saturday the officers reported at cr,aran-
tine. The daily distance was as follows ::
First day t194 hours, 800 miles the
following days, So, 500, $50, 500, 1863,
361, SCI, making an average daily run
of 365 miles. The Adriatic is said to
have made the trip in less time to
point off Sandy Hook, but owing to
dense fog near the Hook the steamer did
not report for some time afterward.

The Chicago Times says a-bottle, pur-
porting to contain card written by
Grimwood, Donaldson's associate in the
recent disastrous balloon ascension, on
the morning of the 10th ult., was picked
up on the beach below Hyde Park Mon
day morning. 1t has some indications
of genuieness, and may afford clue to
the fate of the pronauts. 1t states that
the balloon could not possibly remain
up more than an hour, as the gas was
escaping. The card was dated A. NJ,
Just about the time the squat must
have struck it. This note, however, will
afford but poor satisfaction to the friends
of the aeronauts, for it affords only pre-
sumption of the manner in which they
lost their lives.

MAI. BAETZ AND THE STATE
FUNDS.

The Democrats are hard pushed to
find ground on which to aS3all Maj.
BsetZ, late State Treasurer, and candid
ate ON the Republican ticket. They
rake up an affair of deposit in the
Bank of Madison in which Gen. Mills,
Treasurer of the Board of Trustees of
the Hospital for the Insane, and Maj.
Baetz are Individually concerned, and
make special fuss about it. In no case
does the State, directly or indirectly, lose
a cent by this transaction. 1t is only a
question, whether Maj. Betz or Gen.
Mills shall suffer on account of the fail
IRE of the Bank of Madison; and it
is legal question which the courts will
probably have to decide. Whatever the
decision may be, either gentlemen is
abundantly able to stand it; and in no
case can the S4ate lose a dime. Maj.
Bsetz made good his account with the
State to his successor and Gen. Mills
makes good his account as Treasurer to
the Hospital Board, including the dis
puted $4,000 Thus, the transaction
is purely an indiyual one; and whatever
loss is sustained Oil account of it by any
is an individual loss.
4 party must be hard pushed to at
tack one of the truest and best men that
ever IltIu Dubilc OlNCee, on SUCH IL DdSiS.
1t will only react upon the party that at
tempts such meanness, and prove an aid
to the noble man it is intended to injure.
As the Milwaukee Sentinel we'll says,
"Major Bsetz protected the State Treas
ury against the loss of single cent III
any form, though he passed through a
panic such as the country has rarely
witnessed" The State has lost nothing
by Republican Treasurers. The only de-
faulting Treasurer was q Democrat. We
publish elsewhere Maj r B@tz's expia-
nation of this whole transaction, as well
as his refutation of some other ISLANDERS,
and ask for it the attentive perusal of
our readers, who will find them explicit
and satisfactory OF all the incumbents
of the office of State Treasurer, no one
has been more able and gentlemanly in
the discharge of official duty, nor has
any one shown greater fidelity and ca
pacity, or done more to deserve the con-
tidence of the whole people of the State,
than has Maj. Henry Betz.-iStote jour

We commend the good sense of the
editor of the Chronicle in making the
following plain statement in regard to
the vile SANDER, started by the Milwau-
kee News, in relation to Major Baetz
and the State funds. No one in the
county who knows the Major wants to
hear anything said which indicates dis
honesty on his part, for they know the
falseness of the report. The Chronicle
says:
The Milwaukee Ne1cs will not add to
the strength of the Reform party along
the lake shore by its efforts to prove
Major B.etz defaulter. He is well
known in this section. and his integrity
IS unquestioned by all. If the record
the party has won during the past two
years will not guarantee its success in the
coming election, it had far better suffer
defeat than to win by such means as the
-Neics employs.
The above from staunch Democratic
paper is good.

THE well known Milwaukee mill and

whose losses in the recent wheat fiuctua-

shown such symptoms of insanity and
became so violent, that it became neces-
sary to arrest him and place him in
charge of the officers. He attempted to
shoot watchman at his mill.
