THE IVEW AIVTI-CHINEM; The house of representatives Monday performed an important work iu the passage of the new Chinese bill. It passed that body by large vote of 201 yeas to 37. than 5 to 1. The bill was introduced by Page, of California, and is very similar to the bill which was vetoed, though the time sjiecifit-d for the suspension of immigration is shortened to ten years, nnd the pnsspoit system, to which the President objected, is materially changed. The democrats obviously did not want the bill to pasF, as they considered they could make more political capital out of the veto than by allowing any measure to pass which the President might approve.

Therefore, Willis, of Kentucky, Springer, Baudall and Cos, in different interposed to immediate nc'ii'm on the bill. But Page, of California, who l.ind the bill in charge, concluded that the hour had eoinu to con- sduin all those who objected to Chinese immifiralion to vote tog-ether. His management was successful, and the bill was engineered through the house by so overwhelming a majority that we it will also pass the senate and be signed by the President. The following are the negative votes: Bon-mas, that the liability to loss of life and property is almost at its minimum. The soil of.

Wisconsin may not be so fertile as that of either Kansas or Iowa, but as a whole Wisconsin is a better state to live in. We that the result to the farmer of a year's labor is far more remunerative here. Such a tornado as oc- cuired at Brownsville, Missouri, last Sunday, we think would render the people chary of abandoning their homes in this state to pitch their teats -west of the Mississippi. So it should be understood that wbeu people emigrate from Wisconsin they aiay secure some advantages in their new homes, but there are many drawbacks, not merely in the deprivation of our peerless in the possibility of being utterly overwhelmed by atmospheric calamities.

It breeds whatie ternnd bureaucracy'which holds to its claims with the saint- tenacity as a standing army. We question whether it is wise in a republic to implant in it aclasa of fixed place-holders.

There are very grave objections to our present system of rotation and limited tenure, as one party or the' other rises into power. But are there not equally grave objections to the establishment of a bureaucracy which implies a system of red- tapisin and official arrogance especially odious to a republican Men who have been long in office naturally hedge themselves around official dignity uud formality, which certainly is no't republican. There are good and bad in all systems, and the civil service ore must be eareiul not to promise too much good. THE MISSISSIPPI KIVEIt. Tuesday -was a day cf messages with President Arthur.

And in his message recommending increased appropriation for the improvement of the Mississippi Biver, he very cleverly killed two birds with one stone; i.e., made a recommendation which betrays good business common-sense and which will also have the effect to largely increase south at least, the popularity of his administration. In view of the recent river overflow in the southwest, and consequent damage to the levee's, the President recommends that the. Mississippi Biver improvement appropriation of 81,010,000 be immediately doubled, and that steps be promptly taken which, at a probable cost of or shall eventually result in such permanent improvement of the Mississippi as that in the future damaging overflows shall be averted. With as much shrewdness as. though he were a southern representative, and with undeniable force also, it must be admitted, President Arthur reminds congress that the government.has imposed and collected some $70,000,000 by the tax on cotton, in the production of which the population of the lower Mississippi is largely engaged.

It does not therefore, seem inequitable, he holds, to return a portion of this tax to those who contributed it; the more particularly as such return in levee improvements, must result iu important gain to the country at large. The President's view is broad and commendable. The Mississippi is the possession of the nation 'and its' proper improvement will be of national advantage. Senate. APBIL credentials of Chilcott (CoL) werefcresented and he qualified and took McDill introduced a bill to establish a board of railroad commissioners to regulate inter-state, commerce and other purposes.

Davis (W. called up the agricultural appropriation bill. He stated the total amount was being less than the aggregate as passed'by the house. The bill was passed. A "message from the President was read on the subject of the circular invitation extended to all independent countries of North and South America to participate in a general congress to be held, in Washington the 22d of November next, for the purpose of considering and discussing methods of preventing war between the nations of America.

Wise onsin representatives in congress are looming up. For themselves and their state they are making a creditable name at the national capital, and their enthusiastic constituents, with more earnestness than ele-- gance, bid them to "go in" and "do so some more." Tuesday Congressman Deuster won laurels as the conductor-in-chief of the famous Shipherd investigation. He, failed to get much out of the obstinate Shipherd, it is true; but then he made a good try, and did himself credit.

Tuesday also, Congressman Guenther "made a ten strike" and astonished even the congressional veterans by securing passage in the house without even one dissenting vote, of his biD to compel steamship companies to provide proper accommodation- and comfort for immigrants to American ports. Mr. Gneuther's triumph is more notable because he is young in his congressional career and, according to all tradition was in danger of being 7 frowned down by the old heads. His triumph was nor table too, from the fact that Messrs. and Cos, strong men in con- grese, have heretofore sought to put through a tike bill, but have failed.

And as though these laurels of Denster and Guenther were not enough, Mr. Hazelton also aided to. heap up the measure of Wisconsin glory, by speaking sgainst the admission of the Mormon, Cannon. His speech is reported to have produced a decided sensation, on account of its careful and learned representation of the phases of the case.

Page under instructions of the committee 011 education and labor, moved to suspend the rules and put upon its anti-Chinese bill with the ten year period of suspension of immigration. Atter an uproarious debate, the bill was 201, nays 37. The house adjourned after having been for an hour and an half in a state of-extreme turmoil and confusion. There was a good deal of anxiety shown on both sides, and at times there appeared to be great danger that the offices of the sergeant-at- arms would beieiuired to restore order.

WATTKESHA is truly the land of good water. Though this may be said of the entire county, it is peculiarly true of the village of Waukesha. In the course of a recent visit in Waukesha, we were led to infer that instead of one Betheeda spring there -was a dozen in the village, the waters of which are pure, limpid, cool and wholesome. Indeed, every man seems to own a spring. If he does not own a spring he owns a well, yhich he declares is equal to a spring in the healthful quality of its water.

In truth we should say that Waukesha is the very laud which yields most fruitfully of the "wine of God." The villagers are expecting a great season, and improvements and preparations are risible in every direction. We believe that as much thrift and prosperity prevail at Waukesha as in. any Tillage in tfce norflt- west whole. The bill appropriates for the relief of Lucretia R.

A South Carolina S.

The original indictment included forty-three defendants.

The trial of the managers of election at Maysville Sumter County, was resumed, and th'e testimony is all in. Evidence of the defense was: The ballot-box was opened in public and turned upside down before the voting, begun (6 o'clock); that the united States supervisors arrived 20 minutes late; that the managers then refused again to open the box, sowe votes.being deposited, as such action would invalidate the election; also that surplus in the box were deposited by voters through an aperture in the lid.
