Gra.-The Mayor, the Sheriff, and the
Deputy Sheriff, and last though not least (by
two or three feetD our excellent friend Hon.
A. A. Mcdonnell of Madison were ordered by
the GAINESVILLE Conductor few nights since to
pay ten cents extra, or produce tickets from
GAINESVILLE to Madison. The ticket Office was
closed when the train left, and the travellers
decided not to forfeit the price of two glasses OF
Lager merely because the Conductor asked it.
The train was stopped and the brakemen assem-
bled by the indignant Captain of the Graft. but
after surveying the party, the job of expelling
them from the cars was postponed till cooler
weather.

The RoGds.-The continued rains, and unu-
sually active tcaming into O II town as mar
ket, for Il month past, havejust about destroyed
the road from the top Of the bluff at Or's to
the White Springs In consequence of this,
we are losing large trade which is mutually
ours. The fame of this bad piece of road has
travelled all the way back to the Wapsies and
there are persons interested in other points to
magnify the horrors of the passage to McGreg-
or. Last week subscription was got up and
when last heard from, it had on it $1,000 for re.
pairs. This is not enough to do the work well,
hut ii viii do great deal in these tin-ss sLei
every man who can spare dollar fling it in to
the road fund. If we want people to come
here we must prerare the way. There is no
use of arguing this matter--the making of a
good track down the Coulee is our present
salvation, without it, we deserve to be-con.
demued.

Shipments. Wheat shipped at Milwau-
kee for June numbers 39l 90: bushels. At Ra.
cine for same time 23S, 929 bushels. The total
for Racine since the opening OF the Lake is
Gl5617 bushels against 248,502 bushels for
same time last year. Much Of our Iowa wheat
is now going east instead Of south, owing to
the outrageous prices lately charged by St.Louis
boats. We see that 1850 sacks Of superior Iowa
club have been received at Milwaukee from
Clayton city, and we saw one day last week
two barges loaded from McGregor being towed
across for r.. r. shipment. A little dropping
of r. R. freight would be beneficial to every
body.

Incidents of the Fourth

The exercises began on Friday evening and
continued hereabouts with hut little Interrupt
ton till Tuesday evening. A patriot told us
with broke down look, that this was the long
est Fourth he ever passed through! We
thought SO, from his appearance. One of our
primo pal city officers in an extensive speech,
delivered on the Sabbath to an admiring au
dience, made the sage remark that "if Provi
dence was mvrrdent enough to bring along
the glorious 4th Oh Sunday why lie must take
the consequences -" "It was day TO make a
noise on, to elevate the spirits on, to feel patti
otto on, and no American. native or adopted
| could refuse to participate in the good feeling
prevalent, without losing character as a CRATE
full child of that God who watched over the in
| FAINT Colonies.
We had no regular exercises, but there were
lots of the irregular. A pleasant ball was had
at SANsoRy's West McGregor Hotel, on Fri
day night. A good deal of Lageran and Schnapps,
with an occasional claret punch suffered straight
through the sacred term, Sunday included. On
Sunday evening the Steamer McGregor carried
about 400 Excursonists up to Yellow River
and back On Monday every body was as hap
py as though the Revolution had TO be refought
next week and that grain in consequence
would go up to $500 a bushel. Many of our
folks went over 10 Prairie du Chen to partici
pate in the formalities that were advertised to
wake ps~cc At that triple city, Nut an unfertun.
ate misunderstanding occurred between the
North and South Gas usuaD and the good time
| that was to BE-, did not amount to much. On
the evening of Monday. balls, lager and brandy
at Prairie du Chen and rockets, fre-crackers
and Bourbon at McGregor were the chief at
fractions. Two Of the Times boys got upset in
a boat and upon reaching the shore they were
reset at Metzgers taking them inside and
out their matter was wet enough to distribute
to good advantage. On Tuesday morning
nearly every body's head ached-probably from
the excessive noise of this three days Fourth

The motion was unanimously agreed to.

The Maas.-We dislike very much to say
anything which may seem like a reflection on
the official conduct of a ncghbor; in fact we
usually write to man privately and enter our
complaint If we have ons to make, but &C.
casionally it is necessary to stir up the Post
Masters publicly or they may forget that they
have any business to do further than to make
out their quarterly returns and pocket sixty per
cent of the receipts-this large per centage is
no pay for the trouble in small Offices, but then
a man has no business to assume duties as an
officer unless he designs to comply with them.
Now, be it noticed, that with great regulari-
ty we mail the North Iowa Times westward
every "Wednesday morning-somctimes we do
not get oil the packages in, but the principal
almost invariably leave McGregor before
O'Clock of the morning of their publication, and
yet subscribers from Hardin. West Union,
DEBORAH and other points within daily reach OF
us by mail contract, write us that the Times
fails very often to get through in less than three
days Again We are informed that our Ma.
tional, Garnavillo and Elkader readers are
about two days too slow in getting their mails
We take great pride in dispatching our pa.
pers early because the value ofa journal is lost
like beer, if it is too long exposed to the wealth
er-we often work most of the night to get
ready for the morning mail of Wednesday
and we will not allow any P. NJ. west of the
Mississippi to tribe with his duties, our interests
and our subscribers feelings, by any such wilful
neglect as these delays imply. Take nstiee, We
sGerelict.

A CONFERENCE.-The. e. Stow has forwarded
vention that stakes the rag" off of all MACH n
cry of the kind we ever saw. It is simple,
cheap and strong and though costing but a
dollar, yet we could not get it out of our house
now without danger of divorce. Mr.. Stow
has the right of manufacture for Iowa and we
advise housekeepers and mechanics to call on
him with view to use them or make them for
sale. The Ladies will find them great con.
yenence.

The Milwaukee Road.-The public will notice
the New Advertisement of this important
Road. Its frequent change of Time puts the
travelling public into embarrassment but it
will after while probably settle upon table
that will last over month.
We wish this road could so arrange it as to
furnish our shippers and grain dealers with de-
cent competing rates with the river. Now, the
Road charges II cents per bushel for wheat to
Milwaukee, while the rate to st. Louis is bu,
10. No argument is needed to show that tht
Boa.s do all our business-the St. Louis make
being generally as good as the Milwaukee.

We find the following Report and Debate in
the Congressional proceedings of the Globe of
June 9th. They will be read with interest. In
another article we referred to this subject before
the debate below reached US: 80.
Hon. Fl. M. RICE.
Mr.. DAVIS, from the Commute on Military
fairs and Militia, to whom was referred the
resolution of the Senate of the 18th of May,
instructing them to inquire into certain charges
made by the citizens of Iowa against HENRY
NJ. RICE, a Senator from Minnesota. have di-
rected me to submit report, which ask may
| be read
The Secretary read The report, as follows:
'That. under the authority of the resolution,
the committee procured from the War Depart
ment and elsewhere, papers exhibiting the facts
in the case, and had before them twenty-five
witnesses, who testified under oath as TO the
allegations made against Mr. Rice and, after
an examination Of all the testimony addrced,
they do not find that it sustains any allegation
which imputes criminality to, or arragns the
integrity of Mr. Rice; and, finding nothing in
the developments of the inves.igation, which, in
the opinion of the committee, tend to disqualify
him for seat in the Senate, they herewith sub
nit the record in the case as a parto of this re-
port, and ask to be discharged from the further
consideration OF the subject
Mr.. KING. As one of the members of the
committee. deem it proper to state that, hav-
ing been present and heard the testimony in
the case, condemn the management and con-
duct of the sale of these landsi December, and
therefore did not concur IN the report of the
| committee.
NJ. WILSON, rise, Mr., President, sim
I rly to say that could not quite concnnin the
report OF the committee. for this reason. i
think the Evidence feqt;es sii IN Ssauid disap-
prove of the manner of conducting the; but
at the same time, do not think proof sustains
any charge of criminality against the agent
who conducted it.
Mr.. HARLAN. Mr.. President, / think il
due to myself that l should express my graiif
cation on hearing the result of the investigation
do so in consequence of my previous connec
ton with it, and because of remarks made il
the Senate on q previous occasion, of person
al character, which l thought uncalled for ani
unjust. ! am satisfied with the committee.
believe that the investig cation has been thorough
and impartial, and am gratiied with the result
attained.
Mr.. DAVIS. move that the report be adopt
ed and printed.
The motion was unanimously agreed to.
