JANUARY llth, 1913.
c. l.. SHoLEs, EsQ.:-
DEAR SIR VERY recently the commu-
nlcaton of Mr.. Mount, came under my OBJ
servaton, and as the intention of it seems to
be to cast untayorable reflections upon the
Democratic members of the Board of ST.
pervisors, and few other democrats, | beg
leave TO trouble you with a few lines in
reference TO the same subject.
First, did not understand the vote
on the printers bill to be party vote,
as insinuated by Mr.. NJ. | was busy on 4
committee settling with the County Trea-
curer during the discussion Of the bill. and
therefore did not have an opportunity to
form correct idea how to vote, but when
the Board was ready to vote on the bill,
one of the committee, to whom the bill was
referred for investigation, came into the
Treasurcr's office and said that the chair
man requested me 10 come into the Super
VisOrs room and vote on the printing bill.
| inquired of the committee man, who was
a prominent wing, his opinion concerning
the bill, and he said he should vote against
it. because he rs one of the committee, had
so reported; but" said he, Il think you
might as well vote for the bill, for | think
we cannot help paying for H." Consc-
quently took his advice and went into the
room and voted for the printers bill, dis
tinctly understanding that the bill was taxed
according to law, and that we could not
help paying for it,
Secondly. The Supervisor who made
the motion concerning the District Attorney,
remarked that he did so on his own respon-
siblity, and did not know as a single mem
her of the Board would support him in
doing so, but as the vote was not taken, ii is
not known how many of the Board would
haze voted for his motion; and | think if
there was any thing out of character about
it, the wing members of the Board should
not complain, Tor they set the example at
the first session Of the Board. when part Of
the Democratic members were sick and alb
sent, by Offering n resolution to discharge
the the District Attorney, and proceed 10
to elect, &c, but all the wings did not APP
prove the resolution, therefore the leaders
did not succeed, and | apprehend that the
chairman was consulted, for he did not de-
eide the resolution out of order, and was
not secret in disclaiming against the District
Attorney. think it no excuse that Mr..
Belden and Mr.. Paddock had for home, -
for they were not excused by the board
and should have attended to the business
for which they were elected. Other dem
ocrats referred to above. can Of course an
swcr for themselves, if they deem it cxpe-
dent. Yours, truly,
SIfpER VISOR

IL The Wisconsin. in giving place 10 that stri-
kingy beautiful piece Of poetry which we published
in our last under unpoetical head " The Public
Lands, credits il TO tn. Chicago Democrat. This
is mistake. The author is A. Duganne, Of Phla
delphia, whose contributions frequently enrich the
columns of the National Era in which paper. We
presume. this production originally appeared. Our
friends Of the Democrat are somewhat in the habit
Of appropriaiing articles without due credt-Inore
perhaps the result Of carelessness than design.

The Tri-Weekly Argus of the 18th. says:


"What kind of an Article will ultimately
be extracted from the iargon of conflicting
opinions, will be better known when the
votes are taken.'
The chances for free banking look "a
Their dubious. Mr.. Rountree, leading
whig from Grant, yesterday took strong
ground against it, and it is supposed that the
western wings generally will go against it. :"
Wednesday, Jan. 10. The Article on Banks and
Banking the main, and about the only subject
Of consideration. Substitutes and amendments were
offered in great abundance The first by Mr. A. G.
Cole against separate submission, and against spe-
cial laws, but providing for general laws upon the
subject of corporations with certain prescribed re-
strctons A long debate here arose-Mr Clifford
leading off against the amendment and in favor of
Sanders opposed to separate submission, but he
deemed it right, as the amendment proposed, TO
leave the matter far in the hands of the people,
that the legislature should have no power TO in
corporate banks, until the people had expressed a
direct desire that they should DO SO, &c &c Mr.
S among other remarks took occasion 10 defend the
democratic party from the charge that it was a
bank party. Said he The democratic party for
the last seventy years have sen wagng war against
these soulless which have
neither souls to be saved nor bodies to be kicked
Mr.. Rountrcc made a speech in opposition TO the
amendment. If any provision at all for banking
was adopted, he would prefer 10 have it made Sc
parate subject on which the people could vote He
took it for granted that there not sufficient cap
ital in the Territory 10 carry banking with safe
" or profit. Mr. jackson denied the statement Of
his colleague Mr.. S. that the democratic party had
ever made war upon all banks Mr.. Chase thought
it was high time they did SO, and proceeded with
some pointed remarks against the whole system
and principle of banking. Mr.. Fox. ,chen at home,
was regular wooldycd, anti-wildcat-b bank demo-
crat bat his constituents required him TO support
the report of the majority because banks and bank
ing were therein guarded by strict system of re-
sponsbity, &c. Mr.. Richardson spoke against
tolersting any connection between the government
and the banks Mr., Coles proposition was lost
and so were 4 score of other propositions which it
is unnecessary 10 particularZe, made successfully
by Messrs Judd, Beall, Sanders, Harrington Lara
bee, Kilbourn, jackson, NJ Lelan, Harvey, &c.
The Convention adjourned, without coming to any
decision upon any point of consequence-the whole
matter as to its final determination, being as much
iinot more in the fog than ever

can exceed the frightlul condition of this
district. Without any relief hundreds of
them are at this moment starving in their
wretchcd novels, cellars and garrcts while
a much larger number are endcavoring TO
drag out miserable existence upon no more
solid or nourishing food than rd3o furnips

mashed up with a little salt in their cabins
for the entire family. The work-housc is
over crowded, numbers every week denied
admission, and no provision as vet made
TO procure increased accommodation or to
extend outdoor relief. The towns infested
with crowds of rural paupcrs, whose enact

which starvation has made upon them.

Extract Of letter dated Detroit, Dec

Extract Of letter dated Detroit, Dec.
IL, to an editor in New York city:
The frcighting business by the Cniral
Railroad, especially out, is still large. Tho
company are fast pushing the road TO New
Buffalo, the terminus on Lake Michigan,
50 miles beyond Kalamazoo, the present
western end. They DOW employ 1000
men ON the whole line. Their freight de-
pot on our river is nearly all under cover,
and when complete will be, understand,
the largest on the continent It's $50 feet
long and 100 wide, built of brick and TIM
ber2d III the strongest manner with oak
timber.
The terrible accident of the Phcnix pro-
palIer seems dying away, though every one
admits it was through gross and culpablc
carclessnes. do not believe there is boat,
steam, or propeller, on the lakes, that cal-
ries the number Of small boats required by
law.

port of schools. II will require an immense
sum to educate the children of Wisconsin;
and he was opposed TO Withdrawing this
sum for any purpose, as he feared it would
be frittered away without doing any good.
1t would be annually squandered, without
any special benefit.
Mr.. Jackson did not wish to discuss the
merits of the question, but rose merely for
the purpose of abiding TO the remark of his
colleague, Mr.. Lowell who SAYS that edu-
cation Is at lower ebb in Connecticut than
in the surrounding States, and this, he saws,
is In consequence of her largo school fund.
Connecticut has some of the oldest and best
colleges and seminaries of learning this side
of the Atlantic. She has raised some of the
rlpest scholars and men of science in Ame-
RIGA; nor is her literature confined TO the
arlstocracy. but her system of education diff
fuses intelligence among the masses. He
was proud TO say that he was 4 son of that
little yankee state. In point of intelligence,
her people were behind none of her sister
states. If the gentleman will look at the
last census of the United States, he will
learn the fact that Connecticut. in proper
ton TO her population, has fewer adult per
sons who cannot read or write than any 9TH
or state in the Union.
Mr.. M'Dswell did not suppose that any
one would attempt to divert the school fund
into any other channel; and he could inform
the gentleman that such attempt would meet
the almost unanimous disapprobation of the
people.
Mr.. Vandcrpool opposed the amendment
lie commended against the application of
this fund for any other purposes than for
schools.
Mr. Lovell's proposition, which was pre-
scented as an amendment to the Article on
Internal Improvements, had not been acted
on at the date of our last adviccs. Judging
from the manifestations against it, there is
but slight probability of its adoption:

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

BY WILLIAM u. GALLAGHER.
a Song of the Fairly Times out West,
And our green old forest home.
Whose pleasant memories freshly yet
Across the bosom come
A song for the free and gladstone life
In those early days we led,
With a tccming soil beneath orr feet,
And smiling heaven o'ertead!
On the waves of lie glanced mcrrly,
And had a Joyous flow,
In the days " hen we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago!
We shunn'd not labor when twas due
We wrought with right good VIII
And for the homes we won for them,
Our children bless US still.
We lived not hermit lives, but Oft
In social converse met:
And fires OF love were kindlcd then,
That burn on warmly yet,
Oh pie sanity the stream Of lie
Pursued It's constant flow.
In the DAYS VIXEN We were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago!
We lclt That we we7o fcllow-mcn--
We lelt we were band,
Sustained here IN tho wilderness,
BY heavens upholding hand.
And when the solemn Sabbath came,
We gathered in the wood,
And lifted up our hearts in prayer
10 God. the only good.
Our temples then were earth and sky
None others did we know,
In the days when we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago!
Our forest life was rough and rude,
And dangers closed us round;
Eut here amid the green old trees,
We freedom sought and found
on through our dwellings wintry blasts,
W Nttitl iNStl " Atia cttitEA anu NiVti
We cared not though they were but trail,
We lelt they were our own,
Free and manly lives we led,
Mid ycrdure or mid snow,
In the days when were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago!
Bat now our course Of life IS short
And as from day 10 day
We're walking on with hating step,
And lainting by the way.
Another land more bright than this
To our dim sight appears;
And on our way TO il we'll soon
Again be Pioneers:
Yet, while we linSer, we may all
A backward glance still throw
To the days when werc Pioneers,
Fifty years ago:

II singular Dredna Teufed.-While
the plague was at its height at Alexandria,
a Mahometan merchant dreamed that IL
persons would die Of the plague in his
house. When he awoke he remembered
his dream; and there being exactly eLeren
persons in the house, himself included, he
became uneasy. His alarm increased,
when, on the following day, his wife, two
female slaves, and three children died but
he became quite certain that his death was
at hand, when, on the fourth, his two re-
naming children, a woman servant. and
an Old man servant sunk into the grave
lie accordingly made his preparations to
pass INTO eternltY-rclated his dream to
ms friends, and wished them TO bury him
with the usual sOlemnities. 4 cunning
thief, who heard of the circumstance, took
advantage of the merchants fright to open
his door in the night, and when the terrified
man called out, Who's there" 10 answer,
q" am the angel of DEATH" in order, while
the merchant hid himself under the bed
clothes, and was quite beside himself, to
pack up what effects he found in the house
and carry them away. lTnluckily for him
he was seized with the plague and died on
the stairs. The merchant, however did
not venture TO put his head out for many
hours, tll att length his friends came, heard
from him what had happened, found the
effects, recognized the thief, and confirmed
the strange accomplishment of The dream.
The merchant was then as sure of his life
as he was before of his death, and he was
not mistaken, for he himself relates this
anecdote, which his friends and neighbors
declare to be a fact
