CAPITAL NOTES.
MADISON, Wis, May I'D, 1852

trees and well kept lawns; het
renowned lakes of which glimpses
are to be had at almost every point:
the attractive Capitol Park, ,Univer
sity grounds, and elegant and neat
residences combine to make the
capitol city a place with but few
equals as desirable residence. The
grass in the park is now being cut a
second time, and the trees are in
sufficient leaf to form all the shade
desired up to date.
! A provision of the statutes Pc
curing the Superintendent to kill
dogs found roaming the park, wor-
rying the squirrels, etc., has been so
long disregarded that the park had
! become rendezvous and hunting
ground for the dogs of the city.
Squirrels were being killed and
! frightened away, until one was rare
| " to be seen. To correct this and
execute the law, watchmen were
supplied with guns and ammunition
by state authorities, and ordered to
shoot any dogs found chasing squir-
rels The watehmen being old sol
diers, trained to obey orders, several
dogs got peppered within a week.
| Whereat owners of the ours howled
terribly, and for a few days the city
papers, teemed with screeds against
the State authorities. Lawyers. vol
unteered their services to prosecute
! the shooters, and for a time the tea.
pot tempest that ragged round the
| State officials was almost as serious
as the Eau Claire War. Soon how
ever, scarcity Of dogs in the park
and less frequent popping of guns
was noticeable, and in few days
comparative quiet WAS restored. The
State authorities are now in peaceful
possession of the field, and squirrels
gambol on the green with no dog to
modest or make them afraid.
Pursuant to proclamation of Gov.
Rusk, the capitol building is pro-
fusely draped in emblems of mourn
ing in honor of the late &. &. Wash
burn. a fine portrait of the Ex-
Governor and the chair occupied by
him in the executive cham Der, and
his bust in the Historical Society
rooms, are also gracefully embodied
in somber Grape. Those who at
tended the funeral at Lacrosse re-
port it as the most Dumerously at
tended, and comprising more gen
eral representation of the different
sections of the State than any in the
previous history of the common
wealth. The G. NJ. q st. Il. r.. II.
Co. placed a train of Pullman ears
at the service Of the funeral party
from Chicago There was an eX-
pectation that the State Historical
Society would be substantially re
membered in the EN- Governors will,
but it has not so developed yet,
The contracts are all les for the
city water-works, and undoubtedly
the improvement will be made this
season
Nothing has yet been done toward
the capitol extension, further than
to determine upon the plan. In a
few days the architect will have the
working plans and specifications
ready, when the commissioners will
advertise for bids.
Politically everything is omi-
nously quiet. : lively congressional
campaign is anticipated, however.

Corn in cattle and hogs will be

many years to come. omaha Bee.
That is true, and tits the best pos
sible thing for the Nation at large
that it is true. Young men should
be encouraged to take to the farms
instead of crowding into cities and
towns. The millions of rich acres
in the west want hands, and when
the millions of hands want acres,
good meets good. The Nation must
and ever will have to depend upon
the rural population for its real
wealth, and to great extent, for its
sterling qualities Of mind and soul
which will perpetuate its free insti-
tutions. The hurried, feverish life
of money-making and speculation in
cities give no time for thoughtful-
ness and home culture, and if it
were not for the constant influx of
fresh blood and simplicity which is
begotten in thoughtful country life,
cities would rapidly deteriorate. We
need cities but we need the country
more. And it is a good omen when
yoang men and women turn their
eyes from tue store-houses, banks,
and marts of trade to the green fields,
and resolve to build themselves
homes. 1t is in the experience Of
multitudes that it is, with all its toll,
the happiest and most conducive of
robust, manly thought of all others.
The new indrcement, that the future
promises larger reward for labor,
adds new and additional arguments,
which we trust will be accepted by
great multitude of young people
who are asking, "What shall 1 do
for LIVELIHOOD"

American Progress.
(From the Tines

If thsre were no direct evidence
forthcoming of the reality and rapid
ty of material progress in the United
States, it would be found in the SIN
gular absence Of excitement and
ceven of movement in American poll
tics. Ut is not, of course, to be under
stood that the political game tails

1ldIiIclu1 VI 10 uluSI poIou6ue HIS
countrymen 10 let him govern with
out Parliament. If he can DO neither
of these things-if Parliament, when
it is in Session, insists on having its
own way, and if the nation does o
fancy the proposal to do without it
the situation is hopeless. One mar
is arrayed against many, and in the
end the many are sure to get the bet
ter of the one; and this, if matters
are left to take their course, is what
will happen in Germany. Parliament
and the electors whom Parliament
represents, will grow more and more
indignant at the scant courtesy shown
to them and when in this mood,
they will not be inclined TO show any
more favour to Prince Bismarck's
proposals than they have already
Thought them to merit. 1t is hard to
believe that so far-seeing a states
mar as Prince Bismarck can be blind
to such obvious onsequencesa a these,
or that he can have made up his
mind to break, not with this Parlia-
ment only, but with all Parliaments,
unless he has in view some contin-
gency which he thinks will give a
new direction to popular feeling.
It is this last possibility that makes
Prince Bismarck's present policy a
matter of European, and not merely
of German interest. If he is really of
opinion that events are approaching
which will make GermansfeeI that they
are safe, 80 long, and only SO long,
as he has the uncontrolled disposal of
the national strength, his present pol
icy may, from his own point of view,
be a wise one. If in the course Of
the summer Germany should find
war imminent, her people may con
Ceivably come to regret that they
did not allow Prince Bismarck 10
raise the funds that will be wanted TO
meet it, in whatever way he thought
best. The money would then have
been coming in during the months
which the Deputies and Prince Bis
marck have spent in ~proftless iSola-
ton. Germany will remember the
hints lately given by the Chancel-
lor of troubles which he fore
saw, and which, if his countrymen
had only placed confidence in him,
they might have foreseen also,-and
the effect of this recollection will be
to bring her in sorrow to Prince Bis
marck's feet. 1t cannot be denied
that this possibility constitutes a
positive danger to Europe. Provisions
such as those here attributed to
Prince Bismarck have a trick of veri-
flying themselves. If the Chancellor
is Of opinion that Germany is not suf-
iciently ecure against attack, and
that she can only be made ecure by
IN outlay which even he shrinks from
proposing to Parliament, there is n
expedieht by which he can make this
outlay appear the most natural thing
in the world. He has only to in
volve Germany in a war, to receive
at the hands Of bis countrymen the
fullest and most absolute permission
to deal as he thinks best with their
lives and fortunes, and that is a great
temptation for a man Of Prince Bis
marck's temperament to be exposed

Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,

which seeded in order TO resist the

1861-including Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,

have, in the aggregate, 104 members.
The first section, the NorthernStates,
have neither gained nor lost !; the
Southern States have gained IA
members and the Western States Is
members. til not impossible that
early in the next century the rem lin
Ing section OF the UnIon-'he Pacl~
f. States nay have attained to an
equality with the rest. At present
however, this section has only nine
members in Congress, and includes
only four Statps-CaIifornia, Oregon,
Nevada and Colorado.
The development of the Western
States-)r speaking more generally,
of the States of the Mississippi
VALLEYS the dominant fact in the
higher politics OF theAmnricanU niOn.
But its effects have to a certain ex-
tent been fOrecastpd. A more slgnl-
fcant point in the statistics OF the
Congressional representation is the
evidence of the revival of the South.
of the thirteen Southern States not
one l"ses a representative in the
apportionmant, and only four are sta
tionary. At the close OF the Civil War
few would have predicted that in the
present political Encouragement, while
Maine, New Hampshire, and Yer
mont have to submit each to a re-
drcIi0n of their representation in
Congress, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Georgia receive
an increase. 1t is not by any means
so surprising that the South Western
States should make substantial gains,
for these, and especially Texas, were
10 a great extent, unsettled at the
date OF the war, and their vast n4tu-
raj were certain to be s'i-
mulated and opened up to external
eltcrpfis on the restoration of peace.
The older States of The South, how
ever, were supposed be altogether de-
pendent on the system of slavery tor
their prosperity and political imror-
tnnce. The disasters of the Confede~
racy were believed alike by Northern
and Southern, by American and
foreign observers, to have given a
fatal blow to the social centre OF the
>ecessioa. Within the past ten
years this has been triumphantly dis
proved, an the fact is placed in evil
dence by the re~-adjustm mt OF the
Federal representation. The South
err States have proSpered under a
system of free Iabolr, without resign
