MILWAUKEE, THE ALLEGED “RING "TRUTH OF THE BIORY. From Our Oven Correspondent, * Mrwaunex, Wis., June 25.—The ews has been ostensibly pitching into the City Govern- ment, sccusing the membors of all kinds of rings, The News never spoke greater trath, if it weans political rings, Tbe Court-House is Democratic, from dome to basement, and no one is surprised to hear that it is crammed fall of ecrroption, although a Democratic organ wes hardly the medium through which one expected to hear the fact. The Department of Public Works, which is one of the most important, nas particularly arouscd the wrath of the News, because Mr. Norvell, Secretars, is a Republican. Yet, the fact is, no Department was ever half so hovest 25 this, and no man half so worthy a8 Mr. Noryell, so long asthe News had the city and county printing. Tho main object of these attacks is to create the impression in the Stato thet the Court-Houee is a vast ring, and ‘that Harrison Ludington, the probable Repubticen racdidate for Governor, is st the head and tront thereof. Ican answer for one thing. and thatis, that the stout opposition to Harrison Luding- ton, when he contested the District for Con- gress, came from the Court-Houses The Mayor bas been the death of al! attempts at ring-mak- ing among the Democratic mastors of the Court- House, and the papers throughout the State ought to make the facte’known. If he was in gympsthy with ‘The Court-Houes Ring” why did they bitterly fight him at the polls? A FEW MAD MOMENTS. Mr. Thieten, Chairman of the Bosrd of County Scpervisors, made himself conspicuous as 6 man of bud taste, and worse, at the last meeting of the Board. A question had been raised about, the custody of some pauper children, possession of whom had been obtained by the Indostris! Home under an act passed last winter, in con- sequence of no provision having been made for their education, aod of their being suffered to grow up in the most painful ignorance, idleness, and neglect. Mr. Thiclen made a epesch, in which be used language of great violeace, de- nocacing the ledies for “ inhumanity” in re- moving the little ones from the fostering care of the Board, declaring that thé Home must in- evitably become under the management of the ladies aden of prostitution, and insisting that their only object waa to hire out the children and make movey out of them. He paused in his attack to give his definition of the meaning of ths words ‘ladies and gentlemen,” as applied to the managers of the Home and their hoshands (women who haya for years devoted the best part of their time to alleviating distress, main- taining the poverty-stricken, attending the aick, and doing good in every ward in te city: and men 9 are second to noue in the West, aa a class, in respect of wealth, intelligence, education, sctive charity, and liberality), describing them in words so outrageous that bis own supporters appeared shocked. Mr. Thielon bas generally appeared to ‘bes moderate man, capabie of repressing his passions, and to be able to keep prejudices of sect, nationality, and psrty within reasonstle bounds; but be has now come out in his true colors, and every true man will hold him at nis propervalue. None buts man who fecls him- self sheltered behind a numerical superiority would dare do what Thielen did; bat, thickly as ‘German blood stands up for German blood, and Democrat for Democrat, there are limits eveu in these ses; and Mr. Thielen seems in his madness to have jumped clean over them, it will take # long period of good bebavior to re- store Mr. Thielen to the place he occupied be- fore in the estimation of many worthy people of bis own nationality and party. MERBY EDITORS. Several editors, with their wives, have been Visiting Bllwaukes during the past weak. Thoy vame for pleasure, not business, and cannot com- pisin of bad treatment, having been feted and pected in every conceivable way. The money to entertainand amusethem was snbscnbed by afew busmness houses, and is probably looked upon a5 ‘a good investment by them, to heretarned in due course 15 the way of free advertising. The an- yusl address, delivered by Mr. Brizht, of Wan- Pacca, was ratber out of the usosl ran, and pitched into the press generally for pandering to the- vices of politics, hounding great men to death, and vitinting the tasto of the growing eneration by encouraging an appetite for scan- Seland ditty stories Mr. Bright's general po- sition was sound, but he appeared to think him- self endowed with the god-like attributes of a vensor to whom all thimgs are poamble, and did not condescend to argue or explain, but magnifi- cendy laid down the Jaw. He spoilt 2 well- meant effort by making a sort of royal proclama- tion where a modesily-exrreseed opinion would Aheve appeared with greater grace and effect. ‘THE NEXT CATHOLIC CEREMONY. ‘The consecrationjof Father Krantbaner as Bishop of Green Bay will be 2 grand affair.

The two former institutions will, this year, turn into the world twice as many grad- uates ag do the High Schools of Laporte, Ind., aud Peoris, Iil., combined. From the published account in Fridsy’s Taisusz, Laporte had seven gradusves from her High School, and Peo- ria ten,—in allseventeso. In Rockford the East and West Side Schools each turn ont that num- ber. There is always an air of the most ineffa- ble mystery sbout that wonderful essay which ia to pottle, cork, and saaling-wax the most abstruse subject in s few short moments ; therefore, it was not without some difficulty that your correspond- ent obtamed the subjects with which the sweet girl praduates will azine the thousand or more persons who will essemble noxt Thursdsy and Friday to hear the Commencement exercises. The programme for the West High School will be as fottowa: “The Battle of Life,” Mary A. Hamilton; “ Inflaanee of Iron on Civilization,” Hattie E. Blakeman; “Not for Self Alone,” Louisa J.

If the jast- “* Wunst Cau I Do ?” Mas named young lady fully russes the suggestive and lighly seurible ttle of her essay, I am prone to say, yourcorrespondent will have some- thing interesting for next Sunday's Trrauxg. What, indeed. can the pretty misses do who will iraduate during the next few weeks from the uumerous places of learning throughout the land? For the East High School we have the following programme: ‘The Skeletou in the Closet.” Lins C. Howes; “Thou Shalt Bow Down Before the Hosry Head,” Lizzio Teague; “By and By,” Lizzie Carpenter; “ Going to Law Is Losing s Cow for the Sake of a Cat,” Mina Logue; ** Drift-Wood,” Adella Rieely; *O Tempera, O Mores,” Laura J.
