MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN. CORRUPT PRACTICES OF NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE. Nothing could, more clearly show vile andeorruptpraotices which up iu the New York Custom Hous the'recent correspondence between Collector Smytlio and Edivard A. Pollard.

The plan, with its partial success and finally its utter failure, is thus briefly described: Smythe, sending for Polbird, laid tbo fac.t* before him mid-begged him to resign, asaur- ing him, however, that, in accordance with tbe time-honored usage of bimaelf mid bit pri-dect'saors in the Cnetom HOIIBC, bis pay Bbould go on just tho Bamu before.

It is because it shows the base tricks to which politicians will rc- Kort in order to help themselves.

The Col- iecter -could iiot be seen;" but I was told thitt he had "generously decided that my salary should be up to the 1st of January," allowing me otily the four or five days which theu remained to complete the month.

Ihe consumption of- intoxicating' liquors is fearful.

think it is fair to, assume (hat there is as much liquor drank: in Milwaukee.as in any other portioniof the state; we believe considera 1 ble more. Dividing the by twelve we find that the consumption of. intoxicating liquors drank in cost the people annually 54,088,000. To say the least, this is $8,500,000 more than it ought to be, and if tbe money expended in guzzling brandies, beer and whisky, had been devoted to the erection of churches, school houses and manufactories, we should have something to show for the expended on tholpwestap- petites. It strikes us that there could be 110 greater reform and no m6re positive advantage accrueing to Milwaukee than an effort to reduce this vast expenditure of money.

Nothing can be so effective for this purpose as tho temperance organization, which endeavors to show by proofs the most conclusive that all classes of the community will gain largely by increasing the temperance host in our midst. If the thousands of persons who nowdrink liquors would abandon this vice they would BOOU find that their funds would be replenished and that they would have money in -heir pockets for tbe needs of those whom -hey are bound to protect. When we came to Milwaukee, in 1847, the, city had only a population It was then estimated by careful observers, that if all the people should cease from imbibing liquor for one year, that the saving would, secure money Huuicieut to build a railway to.Kook River. We know individuals in fair circumstances, who expended S500 per annum for liquors. Recently young man died in this city known as "Champagne who expended $15,000 iu gold in the course of four years, for wines and beer.

These are not isolated eases. If one looks around and inquires of those who drink every day more or less.of intoxicating liquors, as to ths amount they expend every year, the figures will sfctrtle the sober minded. We havo discovered that no matter how fmuch money a man has, ho rarely gives anything to build a church or a school house or for any desirable improvement, if he in iu the habit of drinking liqnors every day. There is always a hole in his pocket when tho good man calls on'him lor charity to his fellow' man.

Mr. Smytho has never replied to this letter. I now defy him to produce it A PROPOSKD RKDUCTION IN FOR- HiKX Tho resolution of Mr. Kellogg of Louis- inmi, in the Senate, with regard to a reduction of the postage on foreign letters, is a step in the right direction, and goes in hand with tho proposed postal tele- grnph system. This resolution directs the Postmaster General to enter into uegotia tions with the several European governments for a further reduction in the rates of inlernntioiml postage.

It was referred to the Post-office Committee, and with them remains the responsibility of deciding this important Postmaster General Kuudiill, is iu favor of making a diminution of the present rate of foreign postnge. A person giving this quesiiou moment's thought, will see nt once the benefits derived from this proposed reduction. A great number of our young foreign population are those who have left their frirndg in the Old World and come to seek their fortunes in this New. They are most of them too poor to pay frequently the high charges for foreign postage, and thus news from their friends far away comes but seldom. A reduction would be of a national IIB well as an individual advantage.

A more frequent postal communication with Europe would tend to create a 'better' feeling towards Americans than now cxistfi, and remove the prejudice which has so long been visible among the "people" of Europe. It will be the means of increasing immigration. Commissioner in his reports, estimates that every immigrant land- which yearly goes out from almost" man's household for intoxicating liquors of some description, in mind that this It should also be.borne expenditure is exceedingly hurtful to the morals and iudu'stry of the people. Who dare trust a drunken printer, a drunken carpenter, a drunken mason or a drunken lawyer to do his work properly; no snch man can be trusted. During the great war drunken officers cost the nation hundreds of millions of treasure and tens of thousands of lives.

Coiirtsliip. Courtship is the last brilliant scene in the maiden life of woman. It is to her a garden where no weeds mingle with the flowers, but all is lovely and beautiful to her senses. It is a dish of delicacies served up by moonlight to mingled music of manly tenderness and gentle whispers, and eagerness that does not outstep the bounds of and a series of flutterings, throbbings, high pulses? burning cheeks and dropping lashes. But, however de- Ughtful it may courtship is, nevertheless, aBcrious business; it is the first turning point in the life of woman, crowded with perils and temptations.

There is as much danger in the strength of love as in its weakness. The kindled hope requires watching. The rose tints of affection dazzle and bewilder the imagination, and while always bearing in mind that life without love is. barren wilderness, it should not be. overlooked that true affection requires solid support.

Discretion tempers fashion, and it is precisely that quality which, oftener than is found to be absent courtship. Voting ladies in love, therefore, require wise-cpnn- More Solemn ta Taylor'c Corretptmdeace Another hea' of snow haa day, and at this A Story of l.o In one of A solemn may -be said to prevail here at present The news "has been re- Senator eWct an4 perance in your city, and the intelligence has mode the easygoing members thought- fal And-the grave members more than usually unapproachable.

Members who. by their habits, have always been regarded as good but who have never appeared to seriously regard' the-rising'qnestionof woman's rights, now are earnest and thoughtful on the subject, and only a night or two ago I saw the pleasant Senator Larkin, -of Milwaukee, and the spoiling Pound, of Chippewa Palls firmly joining hands on a proposition to stand squarely in support of female suffrage to 'the last.

We are gratified to perceive that there is a strong probability that the Legislature will submit the question, of female suffrage to the people of Wisconsin during the current year. Some years ago the DAILY WISCONSIN took strong ground in favor of female suffrage, when its advocates were "few and far between." The good cause is now daily receiving accessions of strength.

The more thoroughly the question is examined the more convincing does it appeal- that women are as much entitled to a voice in the government of tho country as the men. Our experience is that women in-tie non-educated classes of society, are generally better qualified to cast a vote intelligently, and for the best interests of the community than the men of that class. They are more conservative, more prudent, more thoughtful about tho increase of taxation than the men, and woiild sustain only such a government ns would return the most valuable results to the people. Our eloquent Senator, MATP. H.

Manhood suffrage has been carried, and now comes up the greater question of female suffrage. Wo take pride in saying that Wisconsin was the first State in our great Republic to adopt the principle, of the homestead exemption, atid likewise great reform, that married women should have the full enjoyment of their property. Now may lead all her sister States the still grander triumph of female' suffrage, the motto of our no- s'elors.

They should not trust too much to the impulses of the heart, nor be too easily captivated by a winningiexterior. In the selection of a husband, character should be considered more than appearances. Young men inclined to intemperate but slightly make good husbands in the'end. They have not sufficient moral stamina to enable them to resist temptation even in its incipient stages, and being thus deficient in sell-respect, they cannot possess that pure, uncohtami- nated' feeling which alone capacitates a man for rightly appreciating the tender and loving nature of a true woman- The irreligious man is like' a ship 1 without rudder, and he never can make a good husband; for a house darkened by a cold skepticism, or an indifference to religion and its duties, is never a is merely a is but little warmth in the atinosphere of the rooms, and every object in tnem looks cold and chilling.

The story runs thus: Valenzia was the daughter of 'the Senai- tor Gradenigb: by 1 one 'of the first ladies 'of Venice. She had all the rich beauty of her. country wonvm, with this remarkable distinction," admired in proportion toils rareness, that her liair was of the loveliest blonde color, changing in the sun to gold, and.

was so abundant that it fell in heavy, shining waves below her knees. 7 A beautiful Italian woman 1 of nineteen could not be without a lover, and Valenzia had already yielded the first-bloom: of-her heart to the young Leonardo. Whether from necessity or the mera caprice of youthful fancy, the attachment was kept secret fronv their respective families, and the young pair met only in the' palace of Leonardo's bosom friend, Antonio Foscarini. Even he, was not entrusted with the name of the lady who closed veiled, into his house; nor had he' ever been favored, with a glimpse of her face. But the glowing eulogies which he was obliged to the de-i scription of her wonderful hair, excited his imagination all the and the idea fastened itself in mind 'that in these golden threads lay some magic power which' had enthralled, his friend, for heretofore Leonardo had been insensible to female attractions.

For a. time the course of true love ran smooth. Then suddenly, as if the earth had opened to Leonardo disappeared, and a few days "after, his. dead body was found in one of the canals which vein this city of the sea. A deep wound in the breast showed that- he had'been 1 the victim of assassination.

Valenzia's grief had all the violence of a first great sorrow. But far more profound was the affliction of the friend, who fully believed that fatal" stab had been given'by a jealous "Leonardo, he he gazed on. the bloody corpse, "the accursed blonde locks are answerable for this' deed!" From this hour an unconquerable! aversion to blonde hair took possession of him, which grew into a true monomania. It was the fashion of the day in for the ladies to bleach their dark hair by the use of chemical preparations, and so strong and was his contempt for the' practice as to obtain for him the sobriquet of "Blonde Hair Hater."

Thus the wedding day arrived uner the happiest auspices. A magnificent assem- he. moment chosen by the artist for the picture.
