THE IyDIAxs.--The last nights Southern Mail
brought the news, that writ Of Error had been
granted in case of the three Winnebago Indians,
now IN Jail here. This will carry their case to the
Supreme Court for decision, They will be tried
at Iowa City next January.
With regard to the propriety Of ali this action
and non-aciion, we nave only to say, that we do
not know enOcgh about the circumstances TO eX.
press an opinion Nobody disputes the fact OF tn.
mumer, 10, is there any less doubt TO the perpe
rators We are likewise disposed TO think the
general policy bad one that relieves crime OF it7
punishment. But, il is still wo,se 10 hang men
contrary to law, OF without giving them all thos.

REMOVAL OF THE SHIRE TOWN OF
GRANT COUNTY,

GRANT COUNTY.
! MR. EDiroR-I wish through your columns
TO call the attention OF the people of Grant
and particularly tina, portion resident at Poto-
81. TO q movement recently set on foot which
has for its avowed object the removal OF The
shre-iown of this Coanty, and the establish
ment OF half shire-towns at PaueviIle and
Potosi respectively. This is matter in
which every citizen has 6 deep interest, and ev'
ery one should have a clear understanding of
the course he ough, TO take. A year ago a
resolute and unsuccessful effort was made TO
obtain division Of This County. This effort
had its origin in Pla,seville, and was designed
solely for the benefi, OF PlaI,evile a, the sac
rfce Of the influence and many Of the dear
est interests of the second County in Wiscon'
sin, aud the severe cost of the citizens OF that
County irrespeciively, who resided without
the limits Of that village. This contemplated
division me, with signal rebuke 10 the Legis-
ture. and such an o0e as placed the matter for
ever at rest without the assistance OF some
scheme by which more weight and Influence
could be acquired. This scheme is now in pro-
gress and oeically making an advance which
must surprise and disgust every man at all ia
miliar with the plan OF its object. Plaueville
has arrived al the meridian Of her greatness
and has 10 other guarantee against gradual, II
may be rapid depopulauon, than Ia some i'm
mediate adventurous aid. Fooled in her AT
tempts TO become the shire,town Of new
County regardless of its size or limits. she has
resot,ed to the hearIless and Intriguing scheme
Of the half shiro-towns. With a suile upon
her fair face. ,nd with apparent frankness and
sincerity she shakes hands with her e0emy Of
twelve months since. aud under the we'll con
cealed desiga Of the sacrifice and ruin Of Po-
tosi she offers to divide with her the booty
which their united strength can seize. Will
Pc,osi be duped into this measurei-dare she
do iti We will look moment 8, the conse-
quences: Blske's Prairie, one Of the richest
agricultural districts 10 the County, comPri.
sing several popelous aOd prosperous neigh
borheods would have double her present dis.
lance 10 travel TO the County scat. She is
thus injured. and is consequently disadscisj
Csssvills, cut cE from her present relation

TINS WEATHER for the last few days has
been peculiarly unfavorabIe to the existence Of
snow the rain which has been unremitting
for the last twelve hours having nearly dispell'
ed the last vestage of that unwelcome and
uniimely visitor. We believe now that the
weather for some time to come will be pretty
considerable-we cannot conscienllously say
what, for the past season has dehed ana
thwar,ed the wisdom Of our very abiest
demonstrators. On the 9th of November,
1912, a snow fell which remained more than
six months. On the l7lh Of the same month
we received an addition 10 our former stock
making a complete and foil supply for sleigh
ing, which was kept up and increased by new
arrivals for precisely FIVE months. Towards
the last of January the cold relented little,
but before we had time 10 murmur we were
presented with the second and last edition OF
Winter--and a complete edition it was. The
next ten weeks were remarkable for their ex-
IRENE cold, and for an exact and uniform irreg-
ulsri,y, very nearly resembling the paroxy suns
OF an obdurate ague. fall Of snow Of "a
hours duration invariably spen, the succeed
ing day in has,y excursion or flying visit
over the country, followed BY an equal period
Of crushing cold. Ii was upon one Of these
days that the mercury, al several points 10 the
country, actually frOze! The succeeding three
days always visited US with the several lofiec-
lions of wn,er-south wind, bot we were
no sooner Aat,ered with these assurances of
milder weather than the same scene was en-.
acted over. These constant and severe chan.
ges caused the weather to take a severe cold
which lasted it into June. and which was fol-
lowed by parching summer fever.
With The coquetlish and deceitful character
of the presen, fall, all are familiar. and all
should be familiar with the fact that this part
Of Wisconsin has enjoyed more favora'
BILE season than any other portion Of the Union
in the same latitude.

NoIE.--The Harmony Presbytery only covers
the territory in which a correspondent OF the Pres
byteran who resides in Missouri, says there is but
one Presbyterian Church aud that destitute. His
statements in relation TO the territory embraced in
the limits ofthe Lexington Presbytery are equally
inconsistent with the existing facts.

OF the two parties will have the ascendancy in
the next Congress. The Wings will have
majority in The Senate and the Democrats 10
the House. The Senate, when full, numbers
fihy-two members, and the House, under the
new apporionment, two hundred aud twenty
three. When the two vacancies 10 Ma
ryland and one in Illinois now exist 10
the Senate are filled, il will stand twenty nine
Wing and twenty three Democrat There are
still twenty-five members 10 elect TO the House.
IL these should be divided between the Two
parties-a probable result the Democrats
will have twenty five majority in that body.
