h EGISLITITE ERRORS.

Making the indexes of the Journals
of Senate and Assembly has led to the
discovery of no less than six errors
which may be vexations to the parties
interested, and will be embarrassing to
the Clerks. The mistakes all relate to
Assembly bills, but whether the erren-
eous endorsements occur in Senate or
Assembly we have not ascertained.
1t appears that the following:
No. 1SS. A bill to repeal chap
ter 382 of the general and special laws
Of 1882, entitled ''an act to incorporate
the Manitowoc and Two Rivers Plank
road Company.
No. 346. A bill to amend the
city charter Of Fond du Lac
Were passed BY the Assembly and
concurred in by the Senate but never
reached the Executive or Secretary of
State.
The following bills were killed in the
Senate, and consequently failed TO pass,
and still they reached the governor, re-
ceiyed his approval, and are filed as
laws by the Secretary Of State, viz
No. 264. A bill to provide for
the laying out of State road from Lin
coin, Kewaunee county, to intersect the
Green Bay and Sturgeon Bay State
road, in the. town of Green Bay, in
Brown county, was indefinitely postpon-
ed in the Senate, but appears among the
laws as chapter 2S6.
No. 472. A bill relating to the
laws of the State and for other proper
purposes therein mentioned
\ substitute, to loan trust funds to
town of Waldwick, Iowa county. was
Indefinitely postponed by Senate, but
published as chapter 2S7.
No. Alb. A "A bill relating to
every matter which may be the subject
of legislation under the constitution.
A substitute, to loan trust funds to
town of Moscow, Iowa county, was in
defnately postponed in the Senate, but
is published as chapter 265
No. 476. \ A bill for preserva
ton of cranberries was indefinitely post
poned in the Senate, but is published as
chapter 2S2.- Weekly Star.

Probability of war between Russia
and England is gradually resolving itself
into certainty. England's bullying at
titude failed to produce the desired eff.
feet on Russia and she now finds herself
subject to the alternative of fighting I'M
der disadvantages or making disgrace
iul recession from the position she has
taken, to the great injury of her former
prestige. To day Ensland's dignity as
great power proceeds from the pros
pect Of her being principal in great
war. Defeat will be ruinous to her pre-
tensions; peace secured by an abandon
ment of her present demands will be
none the less SO. Her Facilitating policy
and idle buster during the recent war
have lost her the respect of continental
Europe and persistence in the policy
will end n contempt for the nation
which prateS of war while fearful of

Russia, England has not much to hone
from success. She has everything to
lose through defeat. Her present atti

warlike feeling at home, and the neeess-
ity of maintaining her dignity abroad,

firm IN her refusal to accede to tho de-
mands of England and is indus,riously

HCHOR.S OF VAR

II Y. Redfeli writes to the Philadel-
phia Times:
War horrors predominated in our neigh
borhood. but the humorous side was not
altogether lacking A brigad, one day
eamped around the premises of neigh
Dor OF ours. He was sitting on the
fence for the purpose, as he SAYS. of
saying one rail at least, contemplating
the destruction going on all around. One
soldier was killing a calf, another was
after the pigs, another was milking the
cows, hundreds were burning rails, others
were taking off the well-bucket and rope.
some were digging for hidden treasures"
and altogether the scene was rather live
~. Our neighbor looked for some
time, saying nothing, doubtless from in
ability to do the subject justice. when
he broke out: Gentlemen, if l live
through the war ! shall never tear hell :"

While the existence of hell was oeeu-
plying the attention of clergymen quite
genel ally, colored brother of Virginia
was storing up arguments against the
generally accepted belief in the Suns
inactivity. John Jasper is the name of
the divine who makes the Sun ''to move. :"
Tie Rev. Jasper fortifes his position
with numerous quotations from the
bible. He will back the bible and the
evidence Of his own senses against
mathematical demonstration. He has
never read any book but the bible and
would not have any other in the house.
He attacked the Sun under the text

a truly wonderful man is Hayes. He
has the philosophic disposition of Mark
Tapley. Wherever he is de!uged with
abuse he feels happy. He must have
some of the spirit of the pioneers OF
christianity who delighted to mortify the
flesh. Conkling, Blaine, Howe and
Sammy Cox, raise his spirits and make
life enjoyable. He grows fat when they
attack, and becomes lean when they let
him alone. Hayes must be an optimist
when he finds consolation in criticism
that worked on the sympathies of the
Silent Cameron.

The republicans in the IT, S. Senate
finally realized that the party was rapid
y sinking under their treatment, and
that unless a change was brought about
1T would soon be non est. A caucus
was called; change of base was decid-
ed upon, and it was agreed that the
desperate condition of the party requir-
cd the most judicious treatment. 1t
must be fed sparingly with light, easily
digcsted food. Blaine and Howe must
pot administer any more Of their nos
trums The feeble condition of the par
ty will not allow of those strong doses.
Hayes is declared to be honest in his in
tentions and the inference must be that
he is fool in his acts. The senate
will fight him no more They don't
care {, curse for him but they will help
him IN trying to be good.

THE TREATY OF PARIS.

AS the treaty of Paris has been referred
to so often of late it may not be cut of place
| to give the text of it. 1t was signed 10
1856. The first stipulation is that the
| status quo should be maintained in
Asia, and that Russia should give back
| kars. The second is that Russia should re-
turn that portion of Bessarabia to Molda-
via which borders the mouth of Che Danube.
The third is that the exclusive right of a
protectorate over the principalities should
be taken away from the car, and be e1er-
csed only by Europe. The fourth is that
the Black Sen should be neutralzed, and
Russia and Turkey should be bound not to
build or keep any maritime establishments
there. The right is reserved only for Tur-
key and Russia to have number of men of.
war there, viz, six Of 500 tons each, and
four OF 300 tons each. The fifth is that the
independence and integrity of the porte
shall be secured by the six signatory
powers, viz, England, France, Sardinia,
Austria, Prussia and Russia 1t is also
agreed that all disputes arising between
these powers and the porte should be sub
mitted to the co'signatores. England,
France and Austria are bound BY a separate
treaty to support the clauses of the treaty
