JUROR CERTIFICATES cAsHED-co ORDERS

The Grand and petit Jurors of Grant
! Circuit Court, at the close of their services
last week, presented their certificates to the
County Treasurer and received their mon
ey-the County Board of last fall having
provided the means and so directed the
Treasurer. This is a beginning towards
providing the means for paying the County
indebtedness in money in all cases, instead
of allowing county orders to go into the
/ one horse markets of individual specula-
tors at 20 per cent. damage to those who
earned such orders.
The County Treasurer paid Jurors for
certificates nearly $4,000 in money
Had such provisions not been made, Juror
certificates would now be hawked in the
streets at 20 per cent. discount, aud Jurors
might he heard for six months growing all
over the county about the misusage they
received at Lancaster. Two or three Ju-
rors, ignorant of the new arrangement,
sold to fellow Jurors their certificates at
20 per cent. discount, and as the custom
always was, proceeded to curse uphill and
down the county authorities for dragging
them away from their work and paying in
a currency worse than Wisconsin Vild
Cat. When informed that those to whom
they sold made 20 per cert. by just step
ping into the County Treasurers office,
they felt dearly "seld".
Should future County Board adopt
the same policy respecting county orders,
further evils will be cured thereby. The
tax will be no greater in the end; in fact
it will be less as the articles and much of
the labor performed for the county can be
purchased for less than for county orders,
and of course there will be quite a saving.
Under present arrangements, creditors
have to wait on the county till next fall
for county orders when their bills are ex-
pected to pass an ordeal like unto that re-
lated by John Bunyan of Christian at the
Kings gate. The accounts are cut down
or squeezed through the narrows of a grind
ing committee; orders are ordered and af-
ter while issued; then comes the cash
ing process which we are unable to de
scribe, only by citing John Bunyan and
his Pilgrim l. AIDED with sin. A full year
to eighteen months passes in spite of good
tinanciering to turn county orders into
money. Over third of the CO. orders Of
last session are unrede emed, many of them
for services performed from one to two
years ago, and with as little prospec ct now
OF working them into cash as ever. The
County Board of last fall intended rene
dy; but more general failure to pay tax
es and there being no demar for tax GER
slneates and also but few lands redeemed
from former sales, their action was a mar
tiai failure. Let the same wise policy Of
last fall be kept up and discomfort will soon
change into satisfaction.
! So We learn that, Hon. N. H. Vim
GIN is confined by sickness at his homo in
Piatteviile, and may be unable to resume
his seat In the Senate, before the adjourn.

Folly AND Fiction NOT DEAD. --otate
and individual credit for building railroads,
HAVING almost ruined several States and
banksupted individuals everywhere, but liz
Minnesota. that unfortunate humbug-rld-
den infant State is also crazy with solicit
tude to get ruined in like manner. The
people of that State are to vote for and
against loaning five millions of dollars Of
Interstate credit for railroads purposes,ano
to show how crazy the people are to have
their state blasted and themselves devour-
ed in the future, we copy what the Mn
aesota Times says:
Put in circulation 100000 in this
State, and see what difference it woulc
make. This $5,OOO,000 would bring $40,
100000 more. 10000 laborers would
come among us. $4,000 emigrants would
be induced to make Minnesota their home
St. Paul would increase in two years to
$4,000 inhabitants. Every mans farm,
every poor laborer's lot would be enhanc-
ed in value. And all this would legltl
mately flow from the loaning of our State
credit to the Railroad Companies to tho
amount of SIS, 100000"
The 100000 debt of The Times, in
stead of bringing 10000 laborers to Min
nesota, will drive SO many away-pfecise
" as the effect was in Illinois in the early
times of her pressing canal debt.

SPRING SrocK OF MERCHANDISE The
stocks of goods brought on this spring by
oar merchants will be light, not because
the merchants are without the means or il
poor credit, but because they see that the
people as well as themselves will be better
off without SO many new goods. Many o.
the old stocks are large, though deficient
in fashion and sorts, and will do for the
present. A rigid economy is indispensi-
bic, and our merchants have the good sense
to see it. Besides, the inducements are
not very great to lay in large stocks, be-
cause the tendency in the merchandise
market is still downwards, so that stocks
purchased this spring must be dear, com
pared with summer and fall purchases.

FARM sALEs-EMIG ( STION, &c.

The time of demand for farms has
again arrived, and we presume large
number of persons are DESTROYS of selling
at extremely low prices. We think there
will be fair demand for small and cheap
homes, furnished with comfortable houses
and small Improvements, and located near
schools and trading places. Favorable 10
cations for marketing supplied with wa
ter and timber will be preferred. Holders
must expect to sell low, because buyers,
aware of the state OF things, will rove
round considerably among sellers before
buying. Emigration from the East will
be large, bat only portion will comes..to
this part of the West. Missouri and Kan
sas are the places of attraction for the pre-
sent. We must await our turn; in year
or two the tide will again be changed 10
wards Wisconsin. Emigrants err in this:
they do not allow sufficiently for our ready
made and paid for schools and school
houses, roads, bridges, churches, public
buildings, mills, railroads, &c, and withal,
in the centre of such reaiyiimprovements,
land is just as cheap as a hundred miles
distant from all such advantages. The
fault, loss and error is with them to con-
slider. In due time they will see their
mistakes and make all right by accepting
our free public improvements and buying
land cheap for homes in old Grant-,he
most healthy, best watered and timbersd
region in the West, not to say superior
lands and surroundings by rivers and rail
roads equal to Boston and Pittsburgh.
