Case Of Hon. J. T. brown of Grant County

The said J. I. Brown has been most in.
justly charged with having been brbed
with bonds to support the La Crosse and
Milwaukee Railroad Corporation Bill, du
ring the session OF which he was q mem
Der in 1855; said charge has been laid by
the investigating Committee of 1865
And has since been supported by the Pres
ses generally throughout the State, to the
great injury of one of TIE most unwavsr-
ing, uacompronsising and straight .torwara
men tina; we ever had in the Legislature
of this State. MIR. Brown has trusted that
truth itself unassisted would finally tri-
umph, believing that there was no evI-
dence Of his guilt he bias deemed it up to
the present time unnecessary to attempt
to prove himself innocent
But longer, forbearance ceases to be q
virtue, and we claim that the plain, simple
statement of facts confirmed by his oath
and affidavit, and backed up by his known
integrity Of character, published herewith
sufficient to settle this question in certa;i
silence eUer more.
But lest doubts should still remain il
the minds Of some, we would call the at
tention of yonr readers to comparison d
statements referred TO above, with the evi
ience brought before the investigating
Committee only so for as relates to tiit
case Of the said J. T. Brown.
1t appears by the evidei ce of Moses NJ
Strong, pages 80 and A Of said Report
that Nelson Dewey was the person selec
ted TO confer with the said Brown, and Sc
cure his influence in favor of the said Ian,
Grant Bill; but it does not appear from
any testimony that he ever performed 0
attempted 10 perform that duty.
Pages and show that All the mem
bers OF The Assembly, exeep; who voted
| for the Bill, had Bonds assigned to them
and that Brown of Grant Comfy had s.,
| 600 Of said Bonds assigned him; with TIL
simple matter OF fact, the evidence end
aud the charge Of Bribery is laid. Thu
leaving the evidence they jump at the con
clusion; neither does the evidence that tn
said Bonds were passed from y to B AM
from B to G prove that they ever came t.
the hands of j. t. Brown.
But those best acquainted with the ma
have a key by which the hole mystery
I unlocked and becomes perfectly plain an
simple. His Known integrity of character

Money still continues drug in tho mar

cept on undeniahls securities, and as few

A DARING ExpLoIr WITH A BaAR-
At Woodland, Ulster county, N. T., On
Sunday, as two brothers, John and Mat.
Schoonnaker, were strolling up the Muddy
Bush Kill, with DO weapons but their peck
ct knives, and no companions but their two
dogs-one fox hound, the other water
spaniel they stopped while to fish; but
they had caught only few speakers, when
they wer. startled to hear the hound utter
the we'll known cry Of his species upon
seeming game.
One of the men Immediately put chass
after the dog, and on reaching the spot on
the bank of the stream where the dog first
found the trail, was not little surprised
to discover the footprints Of large bear
on a helnlock log, where he had landed
from his morning bath
The bear had retreated some twenty rods
from the stream to cover, aud there the
dog came upon it.
1t was but the work Of q moment TO &C.
quaint the other man of the state OF
the case, whereupon, giving his fishing pole
a toss into the stream, he ran up with the
other dog.
Then regular rough and tumble fight
easued, during which, part of tie time The
bear had the upper hand, and part, the
men and dogs; but in lucky moment the
spaniel got the bear fast BY the hind leg,
and then, as turned over to give him-the
dog-his quictus, the hound seized the OPP
por,unity and the bear, too, by the under
jaw, and 20 the two pinned him to the
ground, when John thrust heavy stake
into bis mouth, and placing his knee on
the bears head, proceeded, with bat sor.
