Mr.. Jackson said he hoped this meet
ing would adjourn to meet again, at
which time he would like to have Mr.
McKisson explain how it was 50 wrong
for the County to loan its credit to the
Kenosha and Beloit Road, and yet SO
right for the Town of Wheatland to
loan its credit to the Fox River Valley
Road, which law he, Mr. McKisson, had
supported.
Mr.. McKisson wanted the privilege
of replying.
But Mr.. Jackson declined to yield the
floor, as he had some resolutions to of
fer.
There was, besides, general cry that
the discussion had lasted long enough
Mr.. jackson accordingly offered his
resolutions, which we have elsewhere
published, that the Road is of eminent
importance, and that Committee Of
one from each Town be appointed to re-
port ways and means at an adjourned
meeting.
The Resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
The Chair appointed the Committee,
the names of which we have given else
where.
Mr.. McKisson was much dissatisfied
that the meeting did not feel disposed to
hear his reply to Mr.. Jackson's insinus-
ton then.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
again in four weeks, at the same day,
hour, and PLACED.

est of every man in the County that he
built. With regard to the ways and
means, it was the object of this meeting
to talk the matter up. All sides should
have hearing-free discussion was what

existing excitement or difficulty.

Paris, was appointed Secretary of the
Meeting.
Mr.. LEVI GRANT, Senator of this Coun-
ty, said he observed that two of the edit
ors of the City of Kenosha were present;
and it might, perhaps, be desirable to have

the Meeting, than the official one OF the
Secretary; and he, therefore. moved that
seats and writing materials be furnished
said editors, and they be requested to
take notes and report the proceedings in
fall
The motion prevailed Mr.. Wood brought
in a table, chairs, and paper, pens and ink.
and Mr.. Butts Of the kenosha Tribune,

tunity and facilities; and as he took fill
notes, we shall expect the Tribune to con-
tain perfect and fiH report of the pro
ceedings.
