From Our Own POLITICAL ACTIVITT. M1L waTEEE, May 29:—The past week hasbeen 1o less remarksble for activity in Jocal Federal offices than in politieal arcles. Senators Howe and Cimeron seem to bave made Milwankeo their temporary headquarters for s couple of weeks psst. Gen. Jerry Busk has been coming snd going with tho regnlarity of s railroad rain. Chairman Koyes has also been dashing to and 1fro lile a meteor. It is impossible that these names ghould appear oa the hotel registers, and bo traosferred to the columns of the local papers, and hat the owners of the names should be zeen iv propria personm upon the streets, especially at a period when every dsy is expect- ed to work the decapitation of some kicking office-bolder, without. setting the tongmes of gossipers wagging. The facts are very simple, As everybody foresaw, such sweepiog measures ashave lately been adorted by the Government 1o discover frauds on the revenue, and dislodge public officers, could not fail to shake up tho party. Al office-holders have friends, and thess howl when they yell. Down to the ward politi- «cians, the dregs of theparty have been stirred by the recent overlauling to the lowest depths. Desides that, the elections are comiog on, and the wotnds caused by the Secatorial eampaign had to be healed, or the Bepublican party would be in dangerof disaster. Therefors, Bapublican renders in this State will be rejoiced fo hear that the joint efforts of Mr. Keyes and Senators Howe and Csmerop, with s disposition to be Joyal on the part of the Young Lion of ths North, will ‘probably resutt in the party presenting such s bold, nnited front to the enemy as nbver was ween in the State of Wisconsin since the dark dsys of ths War. Hamison Ludington has been » central figure in all the discussions that have taken placs. He is firm in his intention not to ynn, nnless old antagonists agree to forget past differences and strike hands for victory. Asall parties unite ic accepling Bluff 014 Hal for the party nominee for Governor, his de- cision has done more than anything elss to reconcile conflicting intereets, and Repubiicans thronghont the State may feel justified in hoist- ing the stahdard: “ Ludington and Victory.” The party will come out early for & long and eamnest canvass. Toe difficulties and dangers that confront us on every side are seen sud sp- ‘precisted, and we shall go into this year's con- test stripped of all dead weight ; freed from the “barnacles who bave bsen clinging to the ship and stopping ber wey ; with one eteady end and sim in view, namely : the election of Harrison ‘Ludington, and the triumph of purified Repub- Yican principles snd institutions. In the lan- guage of the graceful and accomplished city editor of the Evening Wisconsin : Haop la ! 'BEMOVALS OF OFFICERS NOT POLITICAL. The week hae been one of grest excitcment among the distillers and the friends of oficers in danger of loging their officiat heads. 1 have telegraphed you the namea of persons arreated for offenses sgeinst tho Internal Revenuo laws, and other happenings of general interest ;| but there have been developments since, * which ripeped just in time for this communication, which- T will procesd to relats. Both United States District-Attornsy Hubbell and Collector Frekine have been personal friends snd thick-znd-thin supporters of ex-Benator Carpenter.. When Matt loat his eloo- tion, thers was s general understanding arrived st that, both officers should be invited to 'make room for successors. The raid afforded a pretest for demanding their heads. Becretary Bristow, however, was not reedy fo go quite so far as pereons to' whom politics are everything snd principlo nothing." The cry raised by the politicians was: ‘‘Give everybody the grand ‘bounce.” The Becretary’s courteous reply was: “We sball remove all officers guilty of conniv- Ing at fraud, or negligent in the performance of their duties; but not a single persou for politi- cal effect, or to make room for office-seckers.” The intention was to remove Hubbell and Ers- Kine et onos,—not for conniving at frand, but for permitting it to take place under their noses. Bat the very psgemess of the politicisns to re- move them warned the Secretary to make sn ox- amination into the facts before takiog a step which, once taken, could not be recalled. This is, mmply and solely, the reason why Mr. Bristow delayed in removing both officers. It was never doubted for s moment that, if they refused to mfi. bs would ultimately have them removed ; ‘but the fact that he delayed notiltime had been taken to investigato redounds to hia credit, and shows that removals have not been permitted to serve merely political ends. THE DEEPERATION OF THE DISTILLERS ‘has found expression in various ways, bat noth- ing has ocenrred more conclusive of their con- dition than the fact, just brought to light after infinite trouble aud investiganon, that at least w0 wiusky firma bave burnt up their books, to pprevent sheir falling into the baods of the Gov- ernment, These books bolong to the Govern- ‘ment, were furnished by the Government, wers Xkept in trust for the Government, and afforded by {ar the moe} important and conclusive evi- dencoof the frauds that bad been perpstrated, of anything that could be got at. As it is, the afficrs bave obtaived sufficient evidence to con- flecate every distillery in tue district. There bas bean & good deal of FALSF STEPATEY WITH STOBEESEPER HOVEY. ‘This person cannot be the sleepy innocent he sppears. His lamb-like features and generally m:mole make-up would lead one to beliere him the most artleas of God's creatures; but, spart {from prejudice, just think of what he has done.

PATRIOTISM QUT AT ELBOWS. After a desperata attempt to revive tha flar- ging interest in Decoration-Day, the officers of the Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic in this city came to the conclusion that they have put their hands in their pocsets often enough to pay the piper for full-dreas parades; and that the commemoration. this year, thould be 28 modest and unobtrusive as those principally in- terested—the people at_large—evidently destred it to be. The ceremonias to-dsy, €0 far as any city organization was concerned, were strictly private and professional. Expend- itures were limited to ~strewing the Side Kinder- |- graves of the patnot desd with flowers; and, even in this, the living members of the dis- banded armies had tostand the cost—the con- tributions from tbe genersl public being com- paratively insignificant. All that was dons to- day was 1o assemble such members of the G. A. R. ns cared to participate, and to procead to- gether in 'buses to the cemeteries, and decorate the graves in silence. The National Home peo- ple also did as much_by way of observing the day; but they intend to got up quite a celsbra- tion to-morrow, whea the Home-grounds, if the weather proves to be fins, wmill doaktless be covered with sight-seers. Oh! tho wngratitude of Republical THE ARCHDISHOPRIC. . As the day draws near for the investiture of Bishop Henni with the Archbishopric, it becomes more and more evident that the event is fo be one forever memorable in the history of the Catholic Charch in the Northwest. ‘he arrange- meots now compietipg are on a stupendons scale, and indicate that the celebration will be the most gigantic, ever sttempted in the Weat. The procession i’ to consist of five divisions, each under the coramand of from two to a dozen Marshals, and herded by a fine band.” The first division will be composed of societies from othercities, counties, and States, the German Mnonverein, and singers; tbe second, of Bt. i Bt.

TROUBLE I THE CENTEBAL BATLEOAD FAMILY. At the aanual meeting of the stockholders of the Wisconsin Central Railrord Compavy, held on_Thuraday, George Reed failed of re-election 43 Director, H. L. Palmer being elected in his place. Mr. Reed was the only Diractor not re- elacted. As soon as the meetiog adjourned, Mr. Keed commenced suit by Matt H. Carpanter and N.S. Murphy, bis attorneys, agsiost Gardoer Colby, President of the road, demandiog $300,000 damsges. Mr. Reed was formerly Vice-President, and mora recently connael, of the road ; and it i3 understood that the ciaim is for aportion of the ralroad properiy, stock, ‘mortgages, and-so-forth. 1t is asserted that the sction of the stockholders is the resalt of s long- laid plan to displace Br. Reed, who 18 known in this State as the father of the Central Road, to whose efforts its verv existence is dus. Itig now said that the litigation will dovelop a cari- ous condition of affaire in the road ; that trans- actions rivaling the famous Credit Mobilier will Do -laid bare ; and that recent transactions in the Company’s stock and lands, reflecting great discredic upon all concernod, will be exposed. Tor instance, it will, it is alleged. be shown that, whilst the real condition of tho road was con- cealed, -and grants and indulgences obtaived from the Legislature, from the towns and coun- ties, and from creditors, onthe plea of poverty, the Company issued bonds valued at 88,000,000 or 810,000,000, which have been 8o manipulated that the ownership now practically rests in the hands of Colby and a few otiers.

This is a trite 0ld proverb, but true in reference to the professional gentleman who visited the handsome branette the other evening residing on one of the most frequented thoroughfares. The case has this differeuce, however, that it was the falling of a cano thas attracted the at- tention of & passer-by, not the gentloman's wife, and cansed him to be sn uninvited listener to a vory loviny converaation and leave-taking, It i well, doubtless, to calilyats the affections in con- nection with the mental powors, but a carb-bit shonld be used when said affections threaten to run away with the judgment. The passer-by, an old bachelar, listened awbile, and then passed on with his sense of the eternal fitveas of things slightly muddled, and his 1dess of right and wrong somewhat mixed. # ITENS.
