Indications are that the biennial

Indications are that the biennial
sessions resolution of last winter
will be adopted without amendment,
and the question submitted to the
people next fall. Possibly a resolu-
ton providing for bi-ennial elections
will also be adopted, but II is not
regarded as probable.
Measures reducing railroad tar
riffs, increasing railroad taxes, ETC.,
are talked Of, but not expected to
eliminate In action. The same may
be said of whisperings about abol,
ishing the Offices of Railroad and In-
surance Commissioner and Assist
ant Attorney General, or CONSOLE
dating them and assigning the duties
thereof to the Attorney General.
Nothing has yet been done in the
matter of redistricting the State,
which is the most important duty
this legislature will have to perform.
Under the late census a Senate dis
trict must contain about 10000 pop
nlation, and an Assembly district
about $4,000. Iowa county having
$4,000 population will be entitled to
substantially the same representa-
ton she now has, but may get it in
a different way. We may be assign
ed q Senator and one Assemblyman
for the county, instead of two AS
semblymen and half Senator. If
Richland and iowa counties are con-
tjnued as Senate district they can
hardly hope to retain two Assembly
men each AS now. One must be drop
ped. Iowa is the larger county by
about 5000, but she uniformly sends
one democratic member, while Rich
land as regularly sends two republi.
cans, so that the claims to considera-
ton at the hands of republican leg
islature are about equal. If Iowa
county is awarded two members an
effort will be made to divide the dis
tricts from north to south instead of
from east to west. The towns of
Arena, Wyoming. Ridgeway, Mos
COW, Waldwicl1, Mineral Point, and
city, in the east district. The towns
of Clyde, Pulaski, Highland, Eden,
Dodgerille, Linden and Mifflin in
the west district. Another propo-
sition is to form q district of the
north tier Of towns in Iowa and the
south and east towns Of Richland
county, leaving the remaining towns
Of the counties to form two other
districts
An interesting fight is expected
to result from the investigation Of
the insane asylum. There are init
nations that strong influences are at
work to override the Senatorial com
mittee Of which the committee be-
ing informed, it is rumored they
will defend their action and report
by disclosures Of a more damaging
character than the public had been
lead to expect from so much of their
report as is published. The rumors
Of crookedness current here are Of
too grave . nature to be put in print
without positive proof to sustain
them. W. il. J..

CAPITAL NOTES.
MADISON, January Slst, 1881.

Of the TRIBUNE will remember that
soon after the adjournment OF the
legislature of 1850, pointed reference
was made ia our Capital Notes, to
extravaganza in the matter of extra
clerks, and limitations given that
the character of some Of the clerks
was not free from suspicion. The
Chief Clerks of that Legislature hav.
ing been reelected without opposi-
ton this winter, there was room to
doubt the wisdom of having men
toned the matter, and no hope re-
NAMED that improvement would re-
suit. Unexpectedly, however, a
change from this aspect has oc-
Cured. Mr.. Keene, of Grant Coun-
ty, on the presentation of a resoln-
ton to make place for an extra en-
ploye, in opposing the same incl-
dentalIy referred 20 a very current
rumor of extravaganza in such mat
ters hitherto, when there occurred
such q futtering as indicated plainly
that by the random shot fred into
the bush "many birds were hit .
This futtering attracted the atten-
ton of the enterprising reporter OF
Milwaukee RepHJlican } he inquired
the cause, found it in the certified
accounts for enrolling, and in his
paper the next morning, land since
then in other papers appeared sub
stantially the facts given our read
ers nearl y a year ago. individuals
may suffer annoyances on account
of the exposure, but the public will
surely be gamers by it. There is no
risk in predicting that scandal-mon-
gers will have less material to work
upon, and the expense for legisla-
tive employees will be naturally di-
minished thereby.
On the Doth Philetus Sawyer was
formally declared elected U. S. Sen
ator for the term commencing March
It'll. All Republicans voted for him
except two, Case Of Richland coun-
~, and Corbett of Milwaukee, who
voted for c. G. Washburn, The
Democl ats voted for James G.. Jen-
llins. The leading argument against
Mr Sawyer IN the canvass was, that
being interested in railroad he
would naturally be in sympathy
with corporations. This gives agree
able Significance to the fact that tho
Oshkosh Northeastern, the leading
advocate of MIR. Sawyer's election,
and published at his home, strongly
favors the proposition that Congress
can and should regulate railroad
management throughout the coun-
try. Senator Sawyer may be de-
pended upon to maintain the rights
of the people under all circulustan-
ces, if his past record is any guar
aztec of what his future will be.

While one was calling his attention
to limb that he was dissecting,
another would cut off an ear, or

all occupied, and q middle aged
lady, with a slim face and specta-
cles, and evidently an old maid, al
lowed him to sit beside her. The
car was warm, and it was not long
before the ''remains' began to be
heard from. He was talking with
the lady about the sweet by and by,
and the hope of glorious immor-
tality beyond the grave, and Of the
inducements held ont by the good
book to those who try TO lead dit,

smelled something. The lady had

turned pale, and asked him to let
her out Of the seat, "it is very much
fixed, and | believe You are the
man that fixed it :" and she took
her satche and Went TO the rear
eff the car, where she glarcd at him
as though he was a tat-rendering
establishment. Mr.. Iioyt devoted
Il few moments to silent prayer
and then his attention was called to
a newly married couple in the
seat ahead of him. They had
been having their heads close to,

said "llennery, have you been

was great and glorious that he had

or a packing house, He allowed
that it was not him, but admitted
that he had noticed something
wrong, though he didn't know but
it was one Of her teeth that needed
filing, They were both mad at
the destinations Of the other, and
the bride leaned on tho window
and cried, while the groom looked
the other way, and acted cross. Mr..
Ioyt was very much annoyed at
the smell, and made up his mind
it was his dUty TO speak to the
groom about it. So he introduced
himself and told the groom he
ought 10 do something to cnro these
feet Of his. The groom looked at
him Indignantly, but Mr., Hoyt
continued:
"Iou may think It Will wear off,
