A Wisconsin Scandal,

Papers have been received at Waukcsl,a
Wis, by the clerk ot the circuit court in
an action which, promises sensational de.
vclopements. Il. W. keyes is the plaintiff
and the American Express company is de-
fendant. During the legislative sessions
of 1850 and 1857 he was more or less nc.
tive as II member oi the third house.
As such he appeared before tho commit
tee ON state affairs and the com.
mittee ON railroads in opposition To bills
which aimed to Increase the tax which tho
state imposed on certain corporations
Several members OF the legislature made
repeated efforts to get through. bills levy.
ing tax of per cent. upon the gross earn
ings nf express companies. Every such at
tempt !ai!cd. kcy"s was given 81 900 for
his services aud demands 81, 900 more.
Inc answer of the express company starts
off with an admission that it

tile legislation dnrin, the session OF that
year, and a.rcrn 9. ,..;y him what his ser.
vices were reasonably worth, and TINT the

services were worth, to wit. $500: that in
May. 1850, in Chicago, tho company paid
to tho plaintiff 81 900, which was received
by him nifull sat atisfaction ui his claim The
answer further alleges that in January,
lSSG, the company employed the plaintiff
to perform i"r it services similar to those
which lie had performed in the year 1850.
and agreed tn pay him for such lobbying
services what they were reasonably worth.
The defendant denies, on information and

Cities In the Moon.
