AT the Cabinet meeting IN Wash
iugtou, Friday, Secretary Sherman
exhibited statement showing the
daily sales OF i per cents since Jan
], the total amounting to over $40.
OG0,20n This immense sale was
commented upon ac extraordinary
gojng beyond the expectation of every
member Of tho official family. 1t
was suggested to Secretary Sherman
thac perhaps these bonds were
selling too fast, but he thought
not, for no matter how rapid TIE
sale, per cents would be called
equally fast. The success Of resump-
ton was referred to, and regarded
rs permanent. y statement from the
Treasury shows that twice as much
gold las been paid IN as has been
called for IL The process of resum-
ption. Secretary Sherman remarked
that he wished there was more de-
rIaud ior gold.

THE bill, now before the House
huDrouriatiou Committee in Con-
gress, to consolidate the several
Government surveying expeditions,
and virtually to cbange the whole
system OF surveying the pubic lands,
is now considered as Il most ruiuous
measure, inasmuch, if the bill passes,
it will, it is said, affect every acre
originally surveyed hy the Govern
ment, to the injury of every land
holders title. 1t is not strange,
therefore when the iniquities OF the
bill become known, that remons.ran-
ces against its passage should be
forwarded by thousands to Congress

the disposition is entertained of
testing the merits of the States
new revised statutes. The idea is
mainly good Some. errors have
crept in width should be rectifed.
But to the extent possible we hope
our new statt.es yyill be allowed to
stand in PRESENT form.
We doubt whether any county in
the State ~ sc wen represented in
Asst mhly as tae neigbtoriug coun-
ty q Grant, having reference to the
mental powers of the representa-
lives. Carter. Mills and Blindlev.
mentioning then il order of dis
tricts which thel represent, together
constitute a grtat power mentally
and for that matter morally. They
are all men OF signal ability, in their
respective spheres: Carter and Mills
as lawyers, and Brindley as teach
er and principal of high schools.
Grant county hasTeason to be proud
OF its Representatives in Assembly.
Looking down from the gallery
upon them, ou' representatives.
seemed comfortably at home in their
respective seats. Frost, uufortu-
nately belonging ohd being over with
the goats, looked good enough to be
a Republican. Cox looked the
square, honest man we all know
him to be. Iowa County is well
represented at Madison in the per-
sons OF its Assemhlymen, We might
say netting good about Cam bell,
but how do we know but that he
may vote for Reyes. Wen wait
oft, and see.
Every citizen of Iowa County
ought to feel proud of the reputation,
which Alex. Wilson, as Attorney
General, is acquiring at Madison
To fulfill the duties of that high
Office in, a manner as acceptably as
is Mr.. Wilson, is to give evidence of
extensive legal knowledge, sound
judgment, and all lawyer-l.ke quail
iications Of ligh order.
Overshadowing all other questions
is the question Senatorial. The
whole place is in state of political
ferment. The three chief aspirants
have each rented rooms at the Park
Hotel and stocked them with their
most noisy and enthusiastic adher-
ents. Reyes, during last week was
the onl y one of the three personally
on the ground. If all be true that
is claimed for the three by their re-
spective adherents certainly Wis
consin is fortunate State-having
within its contlnes the domicils OF
three individuals so able, erudite
virtuous and patriotic. The worth
OF their services to the Republican
party and to the State is beyond
computation. They can only be
ilttingly repaid by again being sac
liiiced-the tortures of which they
are anxious to be obliged to undergo.
Much that is claimed for each we
believe TO be bosh Neither is owed
anything 10y tie party. They have
each been paid all they are entitled
to Their past services, therefore
form 10 meritorious claim to cousid-
Grafton, at the hands of Republi-
cans. Aud in the humble opinion Of
the writer, the less said about ths
respective virtues possessed by each,
the better, from partisan stand
point will each appear to the people
for we are satisfied that, with all the
evidence i'll respecting each, the
people would be inclined to dismiss
the whole brigade. There are de

evening. he had q large majority OF
tho votes for that Office. Truth to
tell. this. the first move of Repnbii-
can Assemblvmeu-elect, did not ac-
cord with our notion Of what was
the proper thing to do. lntellectu-
alv, we do not deem Kelly the equal
| Of Carter, especially in the attributes
pecessary to a good Speaker. lie
I is not so much the master of'hlmsei'
net so alert and nlmoIe mentally.
Besides, as it seemed to us, Garter,
having been the leaGer Of the l.e-
publican body IL last Assembly, was
entitled TO tins honor ut the hahds
Of his fellow RepubIIcahs OF tie
present House. But there was an
other reason why we desired 10 nave
Garter made the choice OF his lei
lows. Many OF our readers, we suS-
costing 1t, will remember lhat du-
ring the last congressional campaign
it was satisfactorily shown by he-
publican papers that hinS was I'M
fit, infer entla.Iy, to become q Con-
gresham by reason OF the support
\
he gave, respectively, the Martin
steal and the C0iklnS steal. AS we
understand, Kelly was the especial
champion OF those measure Car
ter led the opposition against them.
Now 1t seemed to us, that II the
support OF those measures was sui
ticient to warrant klu6's political
damnation in the oplulcn OF Repub-
licans Of the Third District, certain
~, Kelly, the Rel ublican champion
thereof, was not as against the plln-
cilal opponent thereto. entitled to
the very considerable honor at the
hands OF Republicans OF the Speak
.iship of the House. But then we
belong to the rural districts, and,
perhaps do not have correct ideas re-
speeding to what Is pohttcdHy right.
Promptly at noon on the eighth
inst, the both branches OF the Leg
Islature cUnvened-the writer in AS

Of the Assembly, as body, looked
well. A very little time suiiiced for
the swearing in of members, the oath
being administered by Chief Justice
Ryan, and the election OF Speaker,
Clerk and Sergeant at Arms. An
adjournment followed until ) y. IN.
The afternoon session was very
brief, aud devoted to the drawing
of seats, &c.
At noon on the ninth inst, pur-
suaut to adjournment, the members
of Assembly were in their seats.

Merits of Oatmen, WATER MS n beverage


On board steamships the firemen en-
ployed about the furnaces are sometimes
