Mr.. Kelly'S Mill Property.

The Bradford News of last week, in
abiding to the water-power and mills
at St. Charles, owned by Joseph Kel-
| ly, Esq, and the report that Hon. John
Thompson, of Clermont, was about
purchasing the same, made several
Misrepresentation which we will
take occasion to correct. The drift of
the whole article was, to make the
people believe, if possible, that Mr..
Thompson, who is President of the
McGregor Railroad Company, was not
anxious to sell his property at Cler-
mont, but was, on the contrary, max
ing extensive purchases in that vicini-
ty; and, also, that he was not desir-
Gus to purchase property in St. Charles
thereby hoping to prove that the
President of the McGregor Railroad
Company was confident that the road
would be built on the southern route,
through Clermont, West Union and
Bradford, and not through St. Charles.
To meet the "faets" which the News
so confidently presents, we will state
what has been the result Of several
conferences between Messrs. Kelly
and Thompson, as related to us by the
former gentleman. In the first place,
Mr. Thompson has never made Mr..
Kelly an offer for his mill property
Mr.. Kelly fixed his price at 100000 (;
which Mr.. Thompson thought was
more capital than he could invest here,
unless he could sell his property in
Clermont. Mr.. Kelly then proposed
that he take an undivided half, at $50,
900 I; this, Mr.. Thompson asked time
to consider, at the same time saying
he wished to secure an interest in this
town, at whatever price, and there
was no doubt but that he and Mr.. kel-
ly would come to terms. This is the
way the matter stands now-Mr.
Thompson still anxious to purchase,
and Mr.. Kelly willing to sell, at the price
named, and not cent less. About
the same time, Mr.. Kelly was offered
$40, 200 forhis mill property, by heavy
capitalist, which he very sensihly re-
fused. Mr.. Kelly has sufficient capi-
tai to develope all the water-power on
the Cedar, at this place-hence, why
should he wish to dispose of his prop
erty, when he could not invest his
money at any better rate, in any town
in Iowa. What he has already done,
pays him $4,000 year, which we
should call a pretty good income. The
News says Mr.. Thompson is making
purchases in the vicinity of Clermont;
be this as it may, we know that he has
disposed Of large share Of his inter-
est in town property, and is ready to
dispose of the whole /; which, if he
should do, he will, we are confident,
make st. Charles his future home. We
do not say how much this argues in
favor of the northern route for the Nc
Oregon Railroad, but this much it does
prove conclusively-that St. Charles
will be point on the road, and one Of

The KoRAN.-The Koran was writ
ten about A. D. 6l0 Its general aim
was to unite the profession of idolatry
and the Jews and the Christians in
the worship of one God-whose unity
was the chief point inculcated-under
certain laws and ceremonies, enacting
obedience to Mahomet as the prophet.
II was written in the Korish Arabic,
and this language certainly possessed
every fine quality, was said to be that
of Paradise. Mahomet asserted that
the Koran was revealed to him during
a period of twenty-tiIree years by the
angel Gabriel. The style of the vol
ume is beautiful, fluent and concise,
and where the majesty and attributes
~ ssass""-, -S~'ss
of Is0G re described, it is sublime
and magnificent Mahomet admitted
the divine mission both of Moses ano
of Jesus Christ. According to Gidon
the leading article of faith which Ma
hornet preached is compounded of an
eternal truth and a necessary fiction
namely that there is only one God
and that Mahomet is the apostle O
God. The Koran was translated int
Latin in ll43, and into English ant
other European languages about l76s
1t is rhapsody of 5000 verses, divi
ded into ia sections.

The Election.

The election, Monday, was the most
strongly contested one ever held in
this county. The result is not yet Of
ficially known, yet there is no doubt
but what the peoples ticket" as il
was called, but more properly the nom
inees of the Republican Convention,
is elected by about 40 majority. st.
Charles polled 264 votes, which speaks
we'll for the growth of our town. One
month from now we would come up to
800. The result of the election is as
we had anticipated. Col. Ripley, our
newly elected County Judge, is very
popular man, and with the prejudice
existing against everything and every
body from the eastern portion of the
county, he could but be successful,
even with Judge Wiltse as his com.
pctitor. We believe Judge RIPPLE
will have the support and best wishes
of the people, as he enters upon the du.
ties of the Office to which he has been
elected, and that he will discharge
those duties with such ability and in
tegrity as will be worthy of himself
and satisfactory to the people at large
