FREsHETs.-We learn that much dam
age has been done in this and the adjoining
counties, by the freshet last week, espe-
cially in the loss Of bridges. Although
there has been no rain to increase the rise
Of waller, yet the melting Of large body
of snow, under warm sunshine, has rails
ed the streams to height fully equal to that
of any former period in past years. Bird
ges on the Oplain, Fox, Root and Pike
rivers have been carried away or injured
more or less, and the travelling commune
ty for short time to come, will doubtless
be subjected to some inconvenience.

that considerable excitement exists at that

MICHIGAN AND ROCK RIVER RAIL ROAD
COMPANY.

CONnI AN
The Bill to revive the ''act incorporating
the Michigan and Rock River Rail Road
Company" has been lost ia the Council.
In order to have correct understanding
Of the matter, i: may be well 10 state that
an act entitled as above mentioned, was
passed by the Legislative Assembly Of this
Territory, during the session of 1910. The
act contemplated the construction Of Rail
Road from Lake Michigan to Rock River,
making Southport the point Of termination
on the Lake, and Beloit, on Rock River
Agreeable TO q clause contained in said act,
If the work was not commenced within 3
years after It's passage, the act Of lncorpo-
ration was to become void; the act accOr-
dinghy expired by this limitation, IN jan
uary last. In March last, petitions were
forwarded to Madison from this town, ask
ing tho Legislatu to revive the act with
the same provisions which il before con-
tained, only extending the time for the COM
mcuccment Of the work to another three
years. The petitions were sent to MIR.
Baker, member of the Council from Gene
va, Walworth county, and we feel assured
that his bsst efforts were usedto secure the
objects asked for in the petition. BY n
reference 70 tho proceedings Of the Council
on the Slh inst. we notice the following:
The bill to revive the act 10 incorporate
the Michigan aud Rock River Rail Koad
Company was taken up, and the question
b"ng on the passage of said bill,
Mr. BAKER spoke in favor Of the bill.
Messrs. Strong, Wilton and Baber spoke
in opposition; and the ayes and nays being
called. they were as follows:
AyEa-Mcssrs. Baker, Heath, Hugunin
and White-4.
NoEs--Mcssrs Barber, Crocker, Dewey
LsChapelle, Ncwland, Rountree, Strong,
Wilton and Martin-9.
SO the bill was rejected.
What were the objections raised by the
wise Soons who opposed the bill, VIC, as
yet, have been unable 10 learn. The act,
We believe, had none Of the Objectionable
features OF chartered monopolies, nor arc
We aware that il conferred any special
privileges beyond what arc absolutely nee
essacy;Ccr carrying on an enterprise of the
kind by individual effort and capital. It
did not ask that any liabilities should be
incurred on the part Of the Territory. If
the petitioners had sought to put Il compa-
ny in possession Of public lands, for the
pose OF enriching few spectators, as in
the case Of the Milwaukee and Rock River
Canal, the Legislature might we'll have
been justified in rejecting the bill. If the
Legislature believed it too early to COM
mence an undertaking Of this character,
OF that there was no reasonable probability
that capital could be enlisted for such an
enterprises; still they are not justified for
tho disposition which has been made OF the
matter. The citizens of Southport, Gene
va, Bcloi,, and other towns on the route,
arc presumed to know their own business
best in the premises, and need not to be in
s,ructed in this business by any bantling
spesch-m1kcr,in the Legislature.

Progress of Dsmocracy.-The result! of
the late town meetings in the several coun-
ties in this Territory, shows a decided
gain on the side Of Democracy. Generally
where the elections were contested on po-
litical grounds, the Democratic party has
exhibited increased strength over that of
former years. In Milwaukee county seve-
raj towns elected democratic town officers
this year, which have hitherto elected
wing. In Rock county some important
democr victories were achieved; espe-
cially in Belot which has hitherto been
the strong hold Of federalism: this year
the democrats elected their ticket in tina
town by strong majority. The indica-
tons elsewhere in other counties, in favor
of the ascendency Of democratic principles
.:e no less favorable.
