A report current in the papers to

Claire daily fr6e Press and will soon

ments are offered him to do SO, which
he might in the future find it desir-
able to accept, but, as yet, nothing
has transpired that can or ought to
affect his relations with the third
congressional district
Democratic papers are weakly
whining because Governor Smith
called out four hundred militia to
preserve the peace and sustain the
law at Eau Claire. Their pretensc
is that there was no occasion for
calling out troops, and that IN doiug

strong sympathy with capitalists as
against poor laborers. So reckless
are some as To represent that the
State troops were used at great ex-
pense to tax payers for the purpose
of compelling men to labor twelve
hours per day against their will.
Every citizen of sufficient iutelli-
gence TO merit consideration, knows
this to be the most ridiculous false

CAPITAL NOTES.

HS fISt seSSlOn OF i1S W lScUnSlH
sunday Schooi Assembly now in
progress on the east shore of lake
Monona, is more a success than its
most sanguln friends had hoped for.
/ Hundreds of tents cover the beau
4 tiful ground; occupied Mt least by a
thousand people nightly Daily at
tendance at the pleasing exercises
average according to various esti.
mates, two or three thousand. Al
ready, 1T is stated the receipts are
sufficient to cover all expenses of
the session, SO that what is to come
in for the remaining five days will
be oyerplus, that can be used TO fit
up grounds, and improve accommo-
dations for future sessions, which
are now felt to be assured for each
succeeding year.
No special inconvenience was oc-
casioned to the campers by the ex-
treme heat of the first few days Of
the convocation, the location being
such that the fact Of thermometers
marking oS in the shade was not
generally realized. Still the refresh
/ ing shower of Friday night and the
cool weather that have succeeded,
were fully appreciated by the dwell
lers in the cotton city.
OF summer visitors the Capitol
/ City has so few as to be unnotice-
able. Why this is the case while
other places in the State having no
greater attractions naturally, are re-
ported TO be full of transient guests
and tourists, is unaccountable. Such
accounts come from Waukcsha, De-
onomowoc, Geneva Lake, Ashland,
and other places.
4 As the time for holding the Re
publican State Convention advances,
political circles are noticed to be
more active. Of late there have de.
veloped intimations that elements
known as 'Keyes' and 'Anti-keyes,
will contend for ascendency in the
convention, and that attention will
4 be paid 10 the affiliations of candi-
dates seeking nomination. From
1 this standpoint it looks as though a
set Of candidates headed by Hon.
/ Hans b. Warner for Governor will
I be supported as representing The
Keyes wing Of the party, and that a
set with Gen. J. NJ. Rusk for Cover
nor will oppose, as Anti-keyes ring
candidates. True the friends of
of each set warmly deny any intcn-
tion or desire to have factions con-
sidered in framing the State ticket;
! but tie evenness with which the
prominent men Of the party divide
in preference according to the po-
sitions occupied in the Senatorial
contest Of last winter, contradicts
their assertions. Naturally the ele-
ments lately victorious are not de-
sirous Of seeing Keyes restored to
power In State, as he would be by

whose past actions and affiliations

disposed to give him first considera-

dates of the Keyes school, follow up

THE HIGHT OF THE RIVER.


The Sacramento on Monday morning
attained the unprecedented hight of DC
feet and one inch above low-water mark
This is one inch and half higher than the
flood top of the great freshet Of 1873.
That the river would have risen still
higher had not the levees given way at
several points on both sides is by no means
certain, since the effect of the breaking of
the levees was to check the current, and
thus to back the water up. In fact there
is good ground for concluding that if the
banks had held on both sides the stream
would have carried the immense volume
poured into it without reaching even to
the flood hight of 1873. 1t is significant
that the highest point recorded yesterday
morning was not reached until after several
extensive breaks had occurred. This fact
fully bears out the theory which we dis
cussed yesterday, that the carrying ca
pacity OF the river is proportional to the
completeness OF its confinement between
its banks. If this is true it follows that
the breaks which have hitherto been sup
posed to relieve the stream, really do
nothing of the kind. On the contrary, by
checking its velocity they lessen its ability
to carry any new volume which may be
poured into it, and thus render it probable
that it will rise higher than before, instead
of subsiding. Precisely this is what ap-
pears to have happened on Monday morn
ing, and the fact is deserving of record.

THE CHILEAN TERMS.

The Chilean terms offered to PROSTATE
Peru are extremely severe, and in fact APP
pear to be intended to ruin the country.
An indemnity of 10000, GOO, the sur
render of the Peruvian feet, and the occu-
patton of Callao and the mines until the
indemnity is paid, constitute proposition
which suggests the dilemma in which the
old debtors law placed insolvents. If a
man was mechanic and could not pay his
debts, it used to be customary to clap him
in JAIL when OF course he was utterly pre-
vented from earning his living. Just so
Chile appears determined to treat Peru.
She demands from her an enormous indem-
nifty, and she st the same time requires
that the main means of raising revenue in
the possession OF her adversary shall be
given up to her. She takes from Peru her
commerce and her mines, and insists that,
being thus impoverished. she shall proceed
to earn and pay s30,o00,000. 1t remains
to be seen how the Peruvians Will relish
these terms, and what they will do about
them To a dispassionate observer it how
ever looks as though. under the circum.
stances, the most economical course would
be for the conquered country to disincor-
porate and retire from national business.
