We have no desire to prolong or provoke
a controversy upon the merits of tie pro-
posed investigation into the affairs Of this
County, but, as we failed to be understood
10 our remarks last, week or our neIghbor
of the Bugle is inclined to be disingenuous
q: our expense, We again recur to that sub
.ject. After making some three Or four
extracts from the Nonparel of Feb. u,
the Buq,e remarks thereon as follows:
In the FIRST place he susains the Judge in refusing
allow the investigation to 50 on aud virtually advises
him to resist until bru:e force is used and N his
concluding paragraph, ne advises the reOpe TO go ho
the invest ga.ion Immediately and put 1t through al
cUhazards II that is not saying to the Judge, hold
out ua; brute force used against you and AT Inc
same time saying to the people, use brute force I'm,
msdlatey If he does not submit we cannot understand
what he does mean
Now be it understood, We have as yet rol-
unteered no defense of Judge SHERMAN
nor have we defended any Of his Official
acts, neither do We ever expect to. IL is
true, we believe the Judge acted as most men
would have done under the circumstances.
in refusing to permit the investigation to 60
on. For giving utterance to our beilet, IN
this particular, some persons, possessed IN
their own right Of india Rubber consc!eHces,
have iutimated that we received a '!pecunl-
airy complimcnt,' in the shape of County
Orders. We care not to deny the soft i'm
parchment, believing that we have not re-
sided here for the last four years to so lit
tie purpose, us to give credit TO such alIesa'
tions. We would inform those concerned,
tina. "rightous judgments" ase not always
correct.
But, we digress. Our neighbor says we
virtually advised Judge SHERHAS to resist
until "brute force" is used, and again adj
vised ".he people to 60 into an invcstiga-
ton Immediately, and put it through at all
hazards" Now, that is not Il fair state
ment of what we did say. The tenor Of
our remarks may have virtually advised the
Judge to resist until "brute torcc' was u.s.
ed, before permitting an Investigation Of
his affairs as proposed in the petition, but
they were not intended 10, and do not, con-
vey the Inference that in the same connec-
ton we advised the people to use ''brute
s,rce'' Immediately in making such nVeSti-
CATION. What we advised was, that u
thorough investigatiou Of our County affairs
be made by the people Immediately, a: al.
hazards. We maintain both propositions
and specifications vet, and can see no in
consistency in so doing. 1t was only IN
case of the discrimination referred to, that
we "v;rtually' advised the Judge to resist !;
and, it WAS on2y in case Of a thorough ex-
animation, that we advised the people of
this County, to prosecute the same sat all
hazards" Believing that an intelligent
community can very readily reconcile the
two propositions with their ideas Of oonsis.
,sncy, we leave the matter with them, TO
settle in their own way.

II. II. Railroad to be Conpletcd!to oskaiccsa

/
! The OskaloOsa Herald brings US nteli.
gence Of the compilation Of arrangements
between the NJ. & NJ. Railroad and Mahaska
county for the building Of that Road to
Osk oioosa. The Road is 70 he completed
by September 1860. Messrs. Dix and Farm
ham were ~ Oskalo0Sa, and conducted the
negotiation on the part Of tho Road. The
County Judge, under the instruction Of a
very large meeting, in which all portions OF
the county were represented issued its
bonds, in the sum Of $500, 900 to the Com
pany. The latter gives bon.s, in the sun,
Of $3.50, 900 for the completion Of the road
by September, 1860. The intention is to
commence some Of the heaviest work I'M
mediate ", and to have the cars running west
Of Skunk River By next September.
This movement of the movement Will tax e
the people west Of Oskaloosa, by surprise
II has been supposed. for some time, that
the branch road would be permitted to rest.
and the work pushed on the main line. IL
seems tina; the Company had no such inten-
tons; or, if it had, they have been aban-
doned. 1t has undertaken to push work on
both lines; and until we have evidence to
the contrary, we shall believe that it means
to make good the promise it holds out
When the road gets to 0skaloosa, 1t vii! be
as near US, as that portion of the main line
under contract to Grinnell.
There ought to be full and thorough ar
rangement between Polk County and the NJ.
& Nj. Co. Without such an arrangement,
the people of this county will, at an early
day, place it out of the power of the Judge
to issue any portion Of the bonds voted
sometime since. We hope that Messrs.
Dix and Farnham will extend visit along
the main line without dslsy.-Des Meins

Ronud 10 be Notorious.

1t was left for "Bill' English, Of Lecomp,
ton notoriety, to attempt to levy a tax on
newspaper publishers, in the shape Of a bill
compelling them to pay regular rates Of post
age on their exchanges, which they now re-
ceive free. The Davenport Gazette says
that this will do admirably to 60 with the
raising Of the letter postage to FIVE cents
The administration men are evidently trying
themselves. English is determined to dis
tincush himself, or to keep his name in the
newspapers somehow. But probably this
rlan is better than striking men with biud-

Our Senator. Col. John Scott. called upon
US the other day, and assured US that beyond
! Il perauv s1tuIe, We should have another
loan for our Platte Country Railroad OF five
hundred thousand dollars.
1t will he recol!ected that the adoption Of
the Constitutional Amendment, limiting the
State debt to 3Q,O00,OUU, left but small
amount unapproprlated, and for that
amount there is 4 great struCg lie between
the friends of different enterprises. In all
the measures presented for the disposition
, of that amount this road comes in for that
distrlbutivc share. With the 100000, al
, ready secured, this will give us the hand
some sum of 81 POO ,0n0 with which to begin
the work. The counties above are anxious
to contribute all in their power towards its
construction, and below, our wealthy sister,
Platte, stands ready with open arms and a
full purse, to receive US. The coterminus
position Of Platte, our identity of interests.
our social relations and fraternal feo!n.s,
render it Of mutual importance that We
should be united by q railway, and we should
take earl y measures to effect this cousum-
alton.
Let the people of Platte md Buchanan
hold public meetings for the purpose of en-
Aiding the citizens generally 10 participate,
by their voice ana means, in putting for.
ward tho work. We learn that "a. the open.
ing Of Spring there will be public meetings
held in all the counties from here to Coun-
Gil Bluffs, with view to expecting that
part of the road, and all that we have now
to say, is, TO keep the matter moriag.
Let us hear from the Press of Platte and
all the upper country on this interesting sub
ject. We are assured Of their sympathy
and let US have their aid. The papers Of
Omaha, Council Bluffs, Pacific City, Platts-
mouth, Nebraska City, G.enwood, Sidney,
Brownsville, Rulo, White Cloud, Forest
City, Oregon, Iowa Point, Fillmore and
Savannah, might keep this matter so promi-
ncntly before their neighbors as to secure
the commencement Of the road ut the OPEN
ing Of Spring under auspices which would
insure its rnpid construction and early com-
pletion.-!S. Joseph Gazette.

A Word to the Afflicted.

The NERVOUS ToNIc is now regarded by all scientific men to be superior to any prepara- tion ever before presented to suffering humani- ty, as by its corroborating influence on the system the susceptibility to diseasei is lessened, and to those pre-disposed to repeated attacks of chils, fever and ague, or any kind of fever this remedy should by all means be used, and to those residing in masmatic districts where diseases of this character are always incl lent to the climate they should never be without 1t,
 CHOLERA, DIARRHEA, BLOODY FLux, ETC, ETc.---There is no disease that prostrates hu- man beings so short time and that renders the system so unconscious of the remedies when applied as these; and it therefore be- hooyes all persons who value their lives dearer than anything else remember that de- lays are dangerous" As soon as you feel the slightest symptom of disease call for a bottle of Sledge's Cholera or Diarrhea Syrup, one dose of which if taken in time will relieve you. Remember, this is no cunningy devised humbug. as we have the evidence to prove the fact. All we ask is fair trial. For coughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis, consumption, etc., use Dr. Sedge's Hoarhound Pectoral. All the above are for sale at the Drug Stores and upon enquiry may be found in all the towns and villages. See advertisement sep4
