TIE County Seat.


1t will e seen from our paper Of to-day that
active measures IRE being taken to relocate the
County Seat at Garnavilo the ensuing spring.
A public meeting has been held at that point
and person appointed to present PETITION to
the voters Of the County. Mr.. Benjamin has
been here for the past week as solicitor for
Mendon Township and we IRE pleased to state
that he has succeeded in getting m almost
unanimous expression in favor of Garnavillo.
The truth is our McGregor folks, and We be-
lisve the greatest number Of the voters Of
Clayton County are tired Of this County Seat
quarrel, and they are now resolved to place it
where it will remain for all time. A division
of the county ID out Of the question, Guttsn-
berg is not point that accommodates the PEG.
pie Of the county at all and Garnvavillo can
exhibit more advantages than any place which,
can be named. These arc facts, and We trust
every man in the County will lay aside all his
old feelings in the matter and Ego in fer the
an,icable establishment Of the seat at the old
point. We have no feeling in the matter. no
interest in it nor will We have either. 1t ID
generally admitted that Garnavillo il the only
point which can reasonably hope to retain it.
The McGregorites have TO some extent indulg-
ed in dreams that at some future day We could
get it here. but their action now shows tina,
such dreams are over. If it is now settled Al
the place Indicated, it will probably forever re-
main there. and hence we claim to act part al
unsel6sh a. any township in the County. For
Gutenberg and its people We have the highcs,
regard, but We think more Of the general in
teres:s Of the public than we do Of any singl.
interest not even excepting our own-if this ID
deemed boast in the way of patriotic unsel-
6shnes'. We beg to point to the past course Of
this paper for the testimony.
This question has been before the voters often
enough and We trust it will now be settled salts
factorly and with view to public good rathe.

Of the late law are those relating to School
