On motion of Mr. Angell, the matter was referred to a select committee of three. Mr. Zander offeied a resolution that the county pay $5 for the destructions of wolves, in addition tothat paid by the State. Mr.

Angell offered a preamble and resolution to the same effect, but more elaborate, setting forth that the wool growing interest of the county was greatly injured by wolves, which Mr. Zander accepted. Mr. Michael Johnson advocated, as sufficient for the purpose, an amendment, reducing the amount of bounty to This was opposed by Mr. Angell, and his resolution advocated, who said he had generally opposed these bounties, but he knew wolves were bold and destroyed large numbers of sheep in his neighborhood, and he thought inducement sufficient should be oll'ered hunters to destroy them.

Mr. Baldwin objected to such a protective tariff, and thought farmers injured should combine rgainst the wolves. Mr. Stone also advocated the resolution. Mr.

Johnson's amendment was rejected, and Mr. Angell's resolution adopted. Lakes Monona and Wingra, kuown as Dead Lake Ridge. Mound No. 1 Is pear-shaped, and runs B.

Then followed alternate layers of clay and mould, to the depth of i)lt feet from the surface to the natural surface. The penetration was carried three feet below this, through layers of boulders and coarse gravel. A fire-place, 2x2'4.

with a layer of charcoal and ashes four inches in thickness, was found at the depth of live feet. In this was a piece of cloth, partially burnt, which soon crumbled to ashes on exposure to the air. A small piece was photographed. Both on the north and south sides, fragments of bones occurred at 3 to 5 deg. from the surface, in an advanced stage of decomposition.

In the center, at two feet above the natural surface, were found femurs, tibtie and fibulae of a man's skeleton, very much decomposed. They Indicated a height of 6t feet. A chert arrow head was found 8 deg. below the surface on the north side and opposite the center. Mound No.

In opening this mound, obsenre alternations of mould and clay were pierced toodepth of 9 feet. Two fire-places were found, one at 3 feet, and the other at 5 feet below surface; dimensions, 3 feet by ti feet. In the lower one was partially burnt bone in the ashes. At 6 feet were fouud some pieces of (lottery, and a bundle of bones, consist ing of frag" ments of four or more skeletons in a tolerably good state of preservation. These indicated a height of 5 feet 8 inches to ti feet 6 inches of the living subject.

From two of the crania photographs were obtained, which give the form the cranium. No. 2 is a low mound, about 200 yards south ot No. 2, on the same lidge, forming a mere swell upon the surface. County Board of Supervisors.

Chairman SEWS FROM WASIIIMTOX CONDITION OF TREASURY. Arkansas Affairs. The U. S. Treasury.

Washington, Nov. 11. Treasurer Spinner's annual statement of receipts, for the year ending June 30th, shows a decrease, compared with the previous year, in customs, caused by the if and in internal revenue, occasioned by the recent changes in the law, of expenditures, exclusive of those on account 1 1 the pub lie debt, have been decreased Commendable, be says, as this retrenchment is, it is believed it will be still greater at the end of the current year. Treasurer Spinner says the labor required in his office Iihs increased, and suggests an appropriation by Cong) ess to each department and its bureaus of round sums sufficient for the payment, at discretion, clerks tor work performed, as likely to give a great deal better service to the Government than the present graded system compensation. The reduction in the number ot female employes, and the reduction of salaries ol those remaining under the act of Congress at its last session, has been a source of inconvenience to the department, and of distress to poor widows and children.

The Treasurer asks legislation to restrain the isue of circulating notes, other than those authorized by the acts of Congress, making the same a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both. This evil is mainly at the South, in some loca ities of which almost all circulating medium consists of local issues by municipalities and manufacturing companies, lie suggests an amendment to the laws, attaching a penalty for non-payment, within a prescribed term, of dues from any National Bant, of an additional sum, at the rate of one per cent, per month, upon the amount due and unpaid, the sum to be tetained from the next interest due on its stock held for the redemption ot the circulating notes. Treasurer Spinner also urges the passage of the law authorizing the Treasurer to redeem unsigned notes of national banks that have been or may hereafter be delivered in the same manner as other notes. The Treasurer recommends that loan3 be kept separate from other accounts; also that unavoidable balances against public officers, on which it not probable anything will be realized, except through suit at law, be transferred the books of the Register of the Treasury, and when advisable suits brought therefor. As to national bank-note redemption, thinks no further delav will occur.

though the redemption agency is still without sumcient help. JNotices will soon be sent to banks advising them of the amounts charged to their redemption reimburse the Treasury for charges assorting the number of notes redeemed, rather than value. The redemption agency, he thinks, should be made a division in the Treasurer's office, subject to the control of the Secretary of the Treasury. Ihere should be stringent provisions of lav compelling the banks to keep good their per cent, redemption deposit, and the banks ought to be allowed to keep an ex cess thereon, if desired. An amendment of law is also recommended authorizing the exchange ot notes nt tor circulation held by the redemption agency, for unfit notes held by the Treasury, hich would save double transportation, expense and time.

Another amendment is urged requiring notes not bearing a charter number on their faces, when redeemed, to be treated as unfit for circulation, and destroyed. It is also recommended that the Comptroller of the Currency, with the concurrence ot the Secretary of the Treasury, be empowered to appoint a special agent to examine the affairs of banks neglecting to keep up their 5 per cent, redemption fund, and on his report, it warranted, to place such banks in the hands of a receiver. "With these amendments, and perhaps an increase of the amount to be kept in the Treasury for a redemption fund to 7 per centum on the circulation of banks (the necessity or non-necessity of which will be known in time for Congress to act on it,) it is believed the law will enable the redemption agency to perform all the functions required or expected by Congress, the banks, or the people. Arkansas. Little Rock, Nov.

11. The General Assembly met at 3 P. to-day, and received the message of Governor Baxter. He congratulates the peo ple on regaining control of their own at-fairs, and trusts that the victory will be used wisely and well, and that no proscription will be indulged in toward any class. He referred, with pride, to the new Constitution, and urges many re forms.

He says the State has no iaea ot repudiating any of her just debts, and re- commenus some provision louMiig iuam a funding of the outstanding indebtedness. He also recommends a revision of the common school system, and other measures of importance. The Governor says he retires from the position of Gov. ernor with the proud satisfaction that the people are to be ruled by a man of their own choice, and has no doubt but that the distinguished gentleman chosen for Governor will administer the affairs of State to the satisfaction of all her citizens. At its close there was general applause.

The speaker of the House announced the result of the recent election for State officers. Gov. Garland, and the otuer newly elected officers, will be duly installed in a day or two. Messrs. Poland and Ward, of the Congressional Investigating cornmitte, arrived here to-day, and will commence taking testimony ences and Letters.

The Wisconsin Academy of Arts and Sciences held a meeting Tuesday evening at their rooms in the Capitol, at which two papers of great interest were read; the first by Prof, D. Butler, showing some of the modes in which Governments have patronised knowledge.that is promoted its growth, of which the following is an abstract: He showed governments at various eras, founding and furnishing Universities and learned societies, building and equipping libraries and museums of many varieties, laying out botanic gardens, collecting and publishing archives, offering prizes for advances to be made, rewarding them when made without hope of reward, importing men able to raise the home standards of culture, paying the charges both of single experts and of scientific parties sent forth either within their own territories, or to the uttermost parts of the earth, and sea, and air, to test the deductions of theorists and extend tho area of knowledge, re-enforcing explorers by official prestige as well as pay, and by special opportunities for observation and experiment lavishing money on religious establishments, which even pagan have increased knowledge, and mitigating for the good of knowledge the rigors of war. In reference to all these modes of governmental patronage, it was demonstrated by varied and manifold illustrations, how the students of truth had been increased in number, as well as in ability and zeal. The facts and figures gleaned, or rather harvested, from widely devious paths of literature, showed the value of our Historical Society library unaided by which the Professor could not have discovered his mine of material in Wisconsin, perhaps not in the West. The details were enlivened by humorous anecdotes and by scraps from the speaker's own experienc es at the ruins of the oldest known library in Egyptian Thebes, inscribed originally, T'jxr iazpscov "Doctor's Shop of the and in the 208 halls of Venetian archives, "Picked from the worm holes of long-vanished days, the dust of old oblivion raked." His visits to the palace of the American mission in Cairo a government gift, to the Khedive 's museum at Boulak; to the Castle of Europe ou the liosphorus expected as a gift for the Observatory of the American college beneath its walls; to the astrological tower ot Wallenstein in Prague, Ac, were also described.

The University at Salt Lake, he had found rather a grave than a germ of knowledge. He said: "When the Professor, who was my cicerone through the University, deplored its low estate, my answer was, "No wonder. Your government hrtl'liner that tho preachers taught by inspiration, and lawyers worthy to be outlawed, how cau it foster knowledge? How can its highest school answer to Bacon's ideal, which is a mine rebounding on every side with new works and lurther progress Treatingof the British Royal Society Prof. Butler said, among other things It was allowed to claim the bodies of executed malefactors. But until 1790 English law prescribed that criminals, if women, should be burnt alive (si sit mulier, in igne comburatur) "out of regard to the decency due the sex" as Blackstone has it, and if men, should usually be disembow.

eled, or if poisoners, boiled. It is therefore doubtful whether the remains were worth much for further dissection. Of the papers printed by the Koyal Society each, adding its fraction to the stock of knowledge, our State Historical Library con tains 154 quartos, though our series is not com plete. Similar volumes already published by kindred associations during two centuries, seem likely, like Banquo's royal line, to stretch on to the crack of doom or, we may compare them to an endless rope which an Irishman pnlled and pulled till he was tired, and then, in language more rough than reverent, declared that the other end of the thing was cut o.f." Prof. B.

thus treated of the Czar delight ing to honor science in the shape of Hum boldt. In 1843 the English traveler, Simpson, com mitted himself a Russian coorrier in order to be put through from Pckin to Moscow. At first his course was with infinite delay and difficulty. He was neglected or insulted. But all of a sudden every thing was changed.

Horses at all stations were ready in a moment. All relays ran on the gallop; every delicacy was jroffer and Simpson became the observed of all observers. When he demanded an explanation from his conductor. the answer was: "I saw we should never get through Siberia at the rate we started, so I whispered postillions, who told postmasters, that you were nothing less than a Chinese Ambassador, posting incog, to the Czar, and that I should not wonder if you turned out to be own brother of the Celestial Sun himself. You see the result." Humboldt's journeys whithersoever he pleased in all the Kussias, were like Simpson's triumphal progress, and that with no danger of his delectations collapsing through its leaking out that the celestial dijnitary was an onscure wanaerer u- howed hlm the head of John the Baptist in a Charger, declared the rendering ot the severed muscles not natural, and to justify his criticism, hid a slave decapitated on the spot.

This etory, however false to fact, is true as Illustrating the alacrity of many a government in advancing science. Such patronage, beginning with the dawri of enlightenment, has grown with itg growth jn Bu the principal nations of the WOria. it is now mo 1U which lead the van of civilization.

I The Future of the Republican Party. The partial defeat of the Rcpnblican party at the recent election in most of the States, is bringing out much speculation as to the future of that party. Of course, the Democratic press predict with great confidence, that Republicanism is at an cud. This is a perfectly natural view for that party to take; but there is no reason why Republicans should adopt it. Notwithstanding the apparent reverses, there is no reason to believe that the Republican party is in a minority with he people.

That party will be strengthened by adversity, and will arise in its might, purified as with lire, and sweep the country in lTli, with irresistable power. The vote, at the recent elections, does not li.nv that any great number of lu publicans have been converted hi nomocracy. With all the apparent success, the vote of the opposition does Dt seem to be materially increased; yet Ur.s opposition is made up of various elements that will never pull together in a National campaign. The real enemy to the Republican party at that time, will be the old time Democratic party, pure and simple; and the people of this country will hesitate long, before a majority of tbem will favor the restoration of that party to power in the Nation. The condition of the country when democracy ts hurled from power, has not been forgotten; and when the issue is made up betwetn the Republican party and the Democratic party, as it will be in 1876, the patriotic hosts that have swelled the rank of the Republican organization in the past, will be marshaled in their full and enthusiasm, nder the banner beating the names of the chosen leaders of that party and will achieve a victory in the Presidential campaign.

In Wisconsin, a year ago, by a combination of a variety of conflicting interests, the Republican party was temporarily crushed. An opposition Governor and other State officers were elected by over 15,000 majority. The Assembly was strongly against us. On the day after that election, the State Journal said "A reverse does the Republicans good they are always great in defeat and rising from a repulse, they drive the enemy before them. The veterans who have felt the brunt of battle, are not discouraged by the news, but look confidently forward to the future, when they will again be in line, with the lag- cards all in their places.

Wisconsin is Republican every time, in a fair fight with a lull vote." ue spoKe men as we firmly believed and the result of the re- cent election lias verineu our prtuicuuus of a year ago. The majority of over 0(X) of last year, against the Republicans has been wiped out, and the complexion of the Legislature has been restored to its old time Republican majority! This has been done, although the election was hardly a fair test of Republican strength. As it has been in Wisconsin, so it will be in other States. The Republicans will arise everywhere, and assert their power at the first opportunity. The majority of the people have no nu.re sympathy with the Democratic party now, than they had in 18G0, 1864, IMS or in 1872, or at any other period since the storming of Sumpter.

"ine great popular heart is as true to the Union, as incorruotible. and as devoted to the principles of the Republican party as it has ever been, and holds the Demo- now as it did when a Democratic-Rebel army, hearing a hostile flag, threatened the in- tegrity of the Union." Tn Murder Trial.

Officer Thomas Evers, of the English Precinct police, was run over and almost instantly killed last evening by the street car No. 2 of the Broadway line. A complaint had been lodged in the station house with the officer in charge by a woman against Sidney Miller, a native of New South Wales, for disorderly conduct. Officer Evers was sent out to arrest Miller. He caught him, and was on the way to the station with the prisoner, when the latter, seeing a favorable opportunity, sprang from the officer's side and dashed up the street.

The officer was quick upon him, and, though Miller proved a swift runner, Evers was not far behind. When Miller got to the junction of Spring and Sullivan streets he crossed suddenly to the opposite side, and Evers seeing a ear coming which must divide them, made a push to cross it and head off his fugitive. He sprang for the front platform, but missed the step and fell under the car, which passed owr his head, disfiguring it in a frightful manner. The passengers got out and removed the poor fellow to the station house, but he was dead. Aew York Herald, Nov.

The following complimentary and just remarks, we clip from the Watertown lie- publican: "For the brilliant victory achieved by the Republicans in this Slate last week, there is no man entitled to greater credit than E.

W. Keyes. As chairman of the State Central Committee he labored assiduously and energetically, in season and out of season, to produce the magnificent result which was finally reached. But few persons have any idea of the amount of labor he has performed, and which was requisite to secure succtss. The party was indeed fortunate in being able to avail itself ot his services, and lor the vigor and aggressiveness with which he prosecuted the canvass.

Thoroughly conversant with the politics of the State, and an organizer of unsurpassed abilities, he was ever on the alert to detect the weak points of the enemy, and take advantage of tbeir mistakes. Republicans throughout the State will acknowledge the truth of what has been stated and be sure and award proper credit to Mr. Keyes tor the skill and discretion displayed in his admirable management of the campaign. But for these we should undoubtedly have been defeated." The Cincinnati Murder. Cincinnati, Nov.

11. Further testimony was taken in the inquest on the remains of Herman Schel- ling. An important feature ol it was tne discovery of a key in the ashes of the fur nace where his Oouy was ourneu. lie key is identified as on Schilling used that night to lock the inside gate. This will aid materially in identifiying the remains as his.

The second confession of young Egner was read to him to-day, and he swears to its truth. The others do not confess. The verdict is that Andrew Egnrr and Geo. Rufer killed the deceased, and Fred Egner was accessory. Egner's second confession was obtained after much oersuasion.

and promises that it would be better for him to tell the whole truth. The parties who obtained it were not detectives nor officers ot the law. A Young Man Accidentally Kills His Mother. An accident, resulting in the death of a mother, by a gun in the hands of her son, occurred at the resi dence of Mr. Alben, near Bowen, in Hancock county, Illinois, on the 8th.

Mrs. Dellan, an old and respected laoy, lived with her son in-law, Mr. Alben Her son, who had been away some ten or twelve years, arrived there a few days since on a visit. Sunday morning he saw some quails near the house. Seizing a gun he started out-doors, and in going, it is supposed, the hammer struck the door, causing the discharge of the contents into the head of his mother, causing instant death.

The son, it is feared, will lose his reason on account of the sad accident. Marriage and Suicide. The nuptials of Amsworthy Seachias, a young florist of 945, Broadway, New York, and Miss Dora Myers, of East Thirty-Second street, were celebrated on the 9th. Everything passed off- happily, and the bride and bridegroom went to pass the after noon at the house ot some mends, and while so engaged, the company sitting in the parlor, Seachias stepped into anotlier room and shot himself in the heart and right temple. A third shot lodged in the wall, having glanced off his watch.

The bride swooned away on seeing her hus band welterins: in his blood, xso cause is assigned for the dreadful deed. The small dox i3 on tho increase in Montreal. The Hotel Dieu and the gen eral hospital are over-crowaed. On motion of Mr. Baldwin, under a resolution adopted the previous day, the Board proceeded to the election of a Superintendent of the Poor in place of O.

Mr. Stewart offered the following: Resolved.

That on and after the first day of January, 1875, every town, city and village in Dane county mat. draws money ior temporary relief from the Treasurer of Dane county, be charged buck with the same. The resolution was briefly advocated by Messrs. Stewart and Anderson, on the ground of economy for the county and opposed by Messrs. Angell, Stone and Bourke, on the ground that it was a covert attempt to impair the efficiency of the county system of relief for the poor, Messrs.

Stone and Bourke particularly pointing out the injustice of the resolution in its effect on the city of Madison, and such places where poor people coming in on the railroad and otherwise, were frequently stopping and calling for relief. On motion of Mr. Seamonson, the resolution was tabled by a vote of 31 to 9. On motion of Mr. Baldwin leave was given to Mr.

Van Wie to make a statements behalf of Mr. Searles, of Oregon, who asked to be released from his bail bond. Mr. Van Wie stated that Mr. Searles' family was one of the poorest in county.

An execution had issued against his property, on which he had seized a couple of cows and some other property, which he had advertised for sale, and if obliged to do his duty as an officer, should sell, but he found the man's wife and fourteen children destitute of the necessaries of life, children bare-footed and half naked, and little to depend on except these two cows for food. Their situation was heartrending, and though the man ought to have known better than to go on the bond of a notorious rascal, the case of his family appealed for mercy. Mr. Baldwin explained that three men had been arrested for stealing wheat in Oregon, and on examination held in $510 bail. They had come up to Madison, and got the bail reduced to $200 the brothers-in-law of the other two men going bail for them, and Searles giving bonds for one of them, Chase, a notorious rascal, who now had fled, leaving his bondsman to suffer.

He pitied his family, whose destitution was as great as claimed, and thought it would probably be cheaper for the county, who would have to take Elections. Chicago, Nov. 11.
