SHORT WEIGHT.

During the whole of the winter the
proprietors of the packing house in this
city have been bothered by the exceed
ingly high prices paid for hogs at Lake
Mills and other stations on the Madison
division of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad. paying full Chicago market
prices, as no one can do if correct weight
is given. Now it has been. discovered
that no less than six, stock weighing
platform scales on that division have been
found with secret lifting wire, so ia =
geoiously arranged that it was. bard to
detect, and the man. ut the scalee could
reduce the weight 1000 pounds without
exciting suspicion though you watch him
ever 90 closely. Lake Mills, London,
Deer6eld and Cottage Grove are among
the stations where this device has been
found. We understand chat farrer 1t

thought the weight. Was light and had
them weighed again, thinking the opera
tor had made mistake. The frst. time
they weighed $500 pounds; the SECOND
time, the operator failing toeive the same
amount of pressure, they weighed a34o0
pounds, and upon weighing then';s third
time they weighed 5000. Is it strange
that these parties could pay more than
the packing house, where full weight is
always given? The loss to farmers by
this device, in sections where it was
operated, ia undoubtedly very large, .and
we hope the parties will receive due
punishment.-Jeferso Banner. Z >,

SETTLING ACCOUNTS WITH
UNCLE SAM

A Madison dispatch published this
morning announces that Gov. Rusk has
a, last succeeded in an adjustment of the
accounts between the state aud general
government which is highly favorable to
the state. There was due from the state
to the general government, when Gov
Rusk came into Office, the sum of $2O7,-
6S5. Is on account of the direct tax levied
on the states at the beginning of the war
in 1851. Against This sum the state bad
unsettled claims upon the general gov.
ernment. Four years ago the state wss
given credit of $156, 1899. Further
credits have now been given the state
which extinguish the Indebtedness to The
general government. and that. with the
amount to which the state is entitled
from the per cent. allowed it on the sales
of public lands within lie borders for the
past three years, will give it about $1O6,
600. This sum will under the law 90 to
The school fund. Col. .Burchard, who is
now in Washington as the agent of the
state to adjust its claims on account oil the
swamp lands, has also been directed bv
the governor to. urge certain war claims
of the state not yet allowed, from which
it is.expected about $40, 900 more will be
realized. Coy. Rusk is evidently doing
Ill that is possible towards getting for the
tate its honest dues, and has been effect
vely seconded by Congressman Caswell.

THE FIRST GUN OF TEE WAR.

The second chapter of Admiral Porter's
new book, The Naval History of the
Civil War;" is devoted to the lombard
ment and fall of Fort Sumpter and the
destruction of the Norfolk navy yard.
The beginning CT the chapter is herewith
given:
At thirty minutes past o'clock on
April IL, 1861, the first gun of the civil
war was fired, the battery on James Is
land discharging the fist howitzer she'll
which fell inside Fort Sampler, blowing
upa building: this was almost immediate
" followed by another shell, which scat
tered destruction all around.
Fort Moultrie then took up the assault
and in another moment the guns from
the gun battery on Cummings Point, from
Captain McCreadv's battery. from Cap
tain James Hamilton's floating battery,
the enflading battery and every other
point where gun could be brought to
bear on Sumter opeoed in succession, and
the guns poured forth their wrath as if
the fort standing out in the bay bad been
some vengeful foe on which they desired
to wreak their vengeance, instead of con
sidering that it had been placed there for
their protection against all foreign enc
mics.

LONDON, March 1st.- There is high
auth Drity for the statement that England
is treating with China, with the view Of

British Government of the monopoly OF

a syn nopsis of the ideas which he has in
his mind at present. The proposition which
he has put forward may be briefly stated
as follows He would empower landlords
to sell land to tenants ON twelye-year
valuation, the state advancing the money
to the tenants to pay for the land, and the
local authorities of counties being held
responsible for the repayment 10 the
state OF the sums thus advanced,
the payments to be effected by a
series of yearly installments. He would
also establish Parliament at Dublin, with
power to control all the internal affairs
of Ireland, including the police 1t is
