The Public Printing

Iu July last, the Uids for the public print.
hg were opened by the Secretary of State
at Madison, and the contract, after invest-
CATION and dclibcration, was awarded to
James Densnore, as the lowest bidder
From this decision an appeal was taken bv
Beriah Brown to the board constituted by
the law to hear such appeal, viz the Gov
ernor, Attorney General, and Treasurer
The law says they shall proceed to hear and
determine such appeal without delay !"
yet it is now nearly the first of October and
nothing has yet been heard from it. Two
years age the same thing was done. The
Board Withheld their decision until Novem
Der. The consequence was the successful
contractor was obliged TO dispose Of pro-
fitable contract for a mere song because no
time was allowed him to get the necessary
material together, and the Madison publish
ers became the recipients of the profits
Whether that is the object of the present de-
lay we know not Probably not from the
fact that under the circumstances the person
to whom the contract was awarded by the
Secretary can hardly expect to have the de-
cision in his favor confirmed. True, the
Secretary Of State made the decision in his
favor on the testimony of printers, and all
unbiased and impartial printers would pro
badly confirm such decision by pronouncing
his the lowest bid ; yet it must be borne in
mind that BrorR, of the Madison Argus, ap-
peals and +" Bcirs'our and TIE BaAtnce" have
the decision to iiake. And tlir Inference
that would naturally flow from this state of
facts is strengthened by the further fact that
the appeal is said TO hayo been made through
the suggestion and under the advice of one
Of the Board of Appeal, who thus pre- -plcdg
cd himself TO 4 decision.
We allude to these things only to show
how the laws are administered by those who
are entrusted with the duty of administering
them, and to show what reliance and de-
tendance can be placed on them for the pro.
lection of rights or Interests.

Cy- The Hhnker Democracy of this dis
trict, rely mainly for the success Of their
Congressional Candidate on the hope that
he will get such a majority in Milwaukee
city and county, as will ovcrbalancc the Re
publican majortics in the other counties Of
the district. This is vain hope. We do
no: suppose it possible for them to make a
nomination which will take more votes in
Milwaukee than Wells did in '52, and this
will leave their candidate behind i'll the dis
trict from 1900 to 2o00 votes. We may be
mistaken, but at this present moment of
writing we do not believe that any nominal
ton can be made by the IIunkcrS, which will
not be beaten by Judge Spooncr by at least
1900 majority.

INTERESTING STATISTICS.

The following is taken from the Census
Returns of 1850. kenosha county, we no.
ticc, stands abOut No. in respect TO pro
ductions and wealth, taking into considera.
ton her population and area of soil. We
present, however, in connection with the
statistics of our own county, those of Racine
county only. The reader will make his own
deductions from the figures presented. Al
though the figures have swellcd very consile-
rahly in every department since 1850, the
comparative condition of things, as between
kenosha and Racine county, is doubtless
about the same.

THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.

SALE OF THE JOURNAL EsTABLIsHMENT.-
The Columbus Fact, of Thursday, says that
the Journal establishment was sold this
afternoon for $4,000. This, we understand.
includes everything excepting the building.
Follett & Co., of Sandusky, were the only
and consequently the successful bidders
Follett is an old Hunker Whig, and was
formerly connected with the Journal.
The price paid for the establishment is
too low for Mr. Scott, and in our estimation
too high for the buyers. The establishment
is magnificent one, and has cost at least
double the amount paid ; but as mc1ospaper
the Journal is poorly paying concern-like
all of the political papers of this city.
If the sale was genuine one, we sympa
thize with the creditors of Mr.. Scott Il
will only give them about 20 per cent

WHAT ARE f" CoNsoLs ?"-Many inquiries
having been made relative to consols, we
take from the Bankers Magazine the follow
ing account of what consols are =
They are three per cent English stock,
which had its origin in an act of the British
parliament, consolidating (hence the name)
several separate government stocks, called in
the act &C consolidated annuities,' and com
monty quoted, for brevity, as " consols.'
When the consolidation took place, the
principal of the several funds thus merged
amounted to 60, 1875 ,82l, but by the funding
of additional and subsequent loans and parts
of loans into this stock, it amounted on the
9Th of January, 1886, 10 f356,768 ,228. Since
that period only one loan has been raised
that for compensation to the West India
planters in the emancipation of slaves, G2O,
100000, and few millions have been paid
off. The total in January, lS4S, was 93l7,-
824,98l English debt, and f6.l24,S74 Irish
debt, out of a total debt of G772. .40l SOL.
This stock, from its amount and the i'm
mense number Of its holders, is more sensi-
tive to financial influences than any other,
and is therefore the favorite stock for the
operation of spectators and jobbars. Its
dividends are payable semiannually.

From the Knicker5ocker
The old Farmers Elegy.


On green messy knoll, by the bank Of the brook
That so long and so often has watered his flock,
The old farmer rests in his long and last sleep,
" hie the waters a low lisping lullaby keen:
He has plougiled his last furrow, has reaPed his
last grain.
Nomorn slul awake Tim to labor again.
Its warbng olt cheered him while holding the pough
And the robins above him hop light on the mould,
For he Ted them with crumbs when the season was
cold;
lie has ploughed his last furrow, &e.
J on tree that ithfragrance is filing the cir
So rich with its blossoms, so thrifty and fair,
By his own hand waS planted, and well did he say;
II would hive when Its planter had mouldered away;
He has ploughed his last furrow, &c
There's the well that he dug with its water so cold
With IFS wet dripping bucket, SO nossy and old
NonOre from its depths by the patriarch drawn,
For the pitcher is broken"--the old man is gone;
He has ploughed his last furrow SC.
And the seat where he sat by his own cottage door
In the still summer eve, when his labors were DER
With his eyes on the moon, and his Rpe in his hand
Dispensing his truths like a sage of the land:-
lie has ploughed his last furrcw, &c.
Twas gloom-giving day when the old farmer died;
The stout-heArted mourned, the afectionate cried;
And the prayers Of the just for the did ascend,
Fer they all lost brother, man, and friend;
lie mas ploughed his last furrUw, sc.
For upright and honest the old farmer was;
His God lie revered, he respe cted the laws;
Though tameless he lived, he has gone where his
worth
viii outshine, like pure gold all the dross of the
earth;
He has pioughed his last furrow, &c.
