City CrS.nance---Judge Doolittles Deci


The prosecution on the part of the CITY
against VIM. Murdoch, for violating m orr
dinance prohibiting the sale of spurious lio-
uor within the limits of this city without IL
cense was tried at the Green County Cir.
cult Court last week, before Judge Doolit-
tie.
On the trial, we are informed, several
questions as to the validity of the ordi-
nance were raised on the part Of the de-.
fendaat, among which were the following:
l>t. That the ordinance is repugnant 10
shc State law on the same subject
end. That the Legislative power in this
STATE is, by the Constitution, vested in the
Senate and Assembly. and cannot be dele
gated tn any other body Of men,
Judge Doolittle decided that the ordis
nance Is repugnant to the State law The
Legislature having made the sale of spiri-
tous liquor an offence. and affixed penal
ty for a violation of the Statute, at not less
than $40, nor more than $40. The Com
mon Council possesses no power to afiix a
greater penalty, and expressed great doubt
whether the Common Council possessed
any power to legislate upon subject which
was regulated by legislative enactment-
The Judge deeminy the first point fatal to
the right of the city to recover did not per-
NIT the council for the city TO argue the
second question.

A Voice from the Potato Patch

MEssRs EDIToRS:-With the harvesting of
our cereals, and the maturing of our esculent and
sUcculcnt crops have found leisure to address
Won from the ''Potato Patch
The farming interest of Wisconsin has now so
deep a stake in the manner in which State At
fairs are condUcted-having to give up this year
near an eighth average ftheir crops to pay taxes
that you will not deem it amss if politics are
my theme. l propose TO glance somewhat at the
doings of our rulers the past year. and to review
the worecent State --theircontrasts
and combinations--so that those who get aliving
by labor may see what is before them in the fall
canvass.
Now the official records OF the State reported
for the last legislature show the following state
Of acts:
They show that State debt of near $500 900
was accumulated last year, over and above the
whole revenues derived from taXatiOn-and that
too, without any pretence ofany extra emergency
warranting the expenditure. This it was, that
required State tax of 1850 900.
They show that over 100000 acres of School
Lands were in market for sale on the lst of Jan
uary, 1884 and that year thereafter it had all
been sold and to about thirty forty spectators,
too.
They show that 5000 acres of this land were
sold III body to spectators at ten shittiRds an
acre, on thirty years tlme-and that although tim
bered and pine lands that, no portion Ofthe prin-
purchase!
They show that in at least one case the Com
missloners, with the advice and consent of VIM.
A. Barstow, Governor of the State, Withdrew all
the unsold lands from market for about six weeks,
to allow one favored Spectator (JaS Ludington)
to send out agents and hunt up the best tracts,
tn the amount of about ~, 900 acres and that while
this was going on, emigrants and actual settlers
were compelled to stand aside
They show that in all the new counties immense
tracts have been absorbed, nearly all by the Gov
enor's special and particular supporters, thus in
fcting a stab on the prosperity of those new
counties which halt a century viii not eradicate.
They show that in all such entries and espec-
tally in all cases of forfeited improved farms that
the clerks deputies and assistants about the cam
itol largely, and often exclusively made the on
tries III their own names, but for whose interest
does not appear.
They show in addition to such frauds in the
sale of lands that VIM. A. Barstow, drew and
used nearly $4,000 fer contingent expenditures
and postage and that full as much more of con.
tingent bills were thrust on the last legislature
for payment,
They show that VIM. A. Barstow, on salary
of 81 $50 fixed by the Constitution, drew and
used, without rendering any account, the sum Of
81 $50.
They show that near the hour of midnight in
the month of September last, VIM. A. Barstow,
Governor of this State, was present and aided in
opening at the Capitol the single bid of Andrew
Proudht for building q Lunatic Asylum-that

That the Issue in the present campaign is not
Know Nothingism The Sham Democracy are
trying their best, through the press and from the
stump to raise this to the dignity of the only
question pending on the election of November
next. They claim to he par excellence, the anti
Know Nothing party, while they charge the Re
publicans with being as emphatically the Know
Nothing party. There is about the same amount
of truth and honesty in the claim as there is in
the charge They know, as every man of COM

Convenient Logic.-A Barstow paper before MS

Barstow with cordially, therefore Cor as our

we find an article of over a column in length, the
object of which is to prove that it is for the ine
rest of the south to go into the Know-Nothing
movement to keep the foreigners out of the coun-

ton of the south, and it will be found in time

Fusion-Which is It?

Let ms heap confusion on old Fusion; and
we have this consolation and encouragement to
activity, that fusion must win or die. If beaten
this fad that is the end of it, 1t is young
thing, but old enough to have shown that a year
ling may be veteran in corruption. "-Democrat.
Which Fusion does the Democrat mean-that
of the friends of freedom in favor of freedom, or
of the bunker democrats and silver grey wings
in favor of slavery for the latter fusion is Just as
clearly marked as the former Two ont of the
four wing delegates TO the last wing national
convention from this state are active supporters
of Barstow; the only whig there was in our last
legislature was delegate in the late democratic
state convention and an active friend of Barstow
Indeed it will be borne in mind that the great
measures on which Pierce's administration is sus-
tanned, were those passed under the late wing
administration, urged through by Clay and Web
ster and approved by Fillmore. And besides, it
is understood that Barstow himself-thc great
embodiment of democracy-in old L. S. Bank
times was wing in good standing. This affili-
alton has been going on all over the country, and
its whole mission appears to be to propagate sla-
very. This is the Fusion crowd in which the
editor of the Democrat trains, and we presume
from his allusion TO corruption and weakness, it
is probably the kind to which he alludes.

Press, bunker democratic sheet, the following

According to the best evidence this result APP
pears to be entirely due to the Liquor question
Last year the Prohibitory law influence swept
the state leaving scarcely vestgc of opposition.
The public sentiment being apparently so unan-
imous in favor of prohibition, the Legislature still
further amended the existing law by new features
of great stringency. The cords were drawn a lit
tie too tight and the consequence is they have
snapped and this reaction is the result. To what
extent the reaction will be carried in the new
legislature, remains TO be seen. 1t is significant
of the state of popular feeling on the abstract pro-
position of prohibition, that this party which has
just been successful, declared itself in favor of
prohibition and prolibitory law--it declared it
sought onlya modification of the present law, on
which declaration it triumphcd. This shows re-
ally where the people stand. But we have no
idea the party in power will stop at the point in
dicated by their pledges. They will repeal all
prohibitory laws, and for year it may be safely
calculated liquor in Maine will be free and Clio
riicd. But we wish TO put this prediction on re-
cord and are willing TO stake on 1t all the reputa-
ton for sagacity or common sense that we pos
sess, that prohibition viii the noxt year be resto-
red to the statute book. The present result will
not be without sautary effect in Maine and
elsewhere 1t will teach the friends of prohbi-
ton, due degree of caution and sound discre-
ton in cnacting measures of this character, and
to exercise care in not getting in advance of
public sentiment on the question.
On national measures, the anti-republican can
ddates found it necessary to take the republican
ground, and we suppose in a national election
Maine is just as safe for frcedom.as Vermont.
