Election Next Tuesday.


On Tuesday next the people of this city
will be called upon to elect their munich
pal officers for tie coming year At the
present writing We are not advised as to
who the candidates for tee various places
are. The Democrats hold a convention
tomorrow for the purpose of making
ticket and we presume will ''nut none
but Democrats on guard" There are, or
will be by Tuesday morning number of
"stump candidates" so that the fight is
not to be one sided. The Republicans, We
presume, will make no nominations but 90
in promiscuously as usual, for the men of
their choice. selecting from the various
candidates that are in the field, such
as they consider worthy of their suffrage.
" May the best man win" Democrats
think it is of the utmost Importance
that none but men of that party should
be elected. Else why do they call a con-
vention for the purpose of making strict
party ticket? They propose to apply the
political guillotine to the neck of every man
who has ever done aught to thwart their
designs. A man may be ever SO compe-
tent, or we'll qualified for given position,
but if be happens some time or another to
have done something that these men do
not like, be must be showed aside and
man of infinitely poorer qualifications cut
in his place. We do not consider this the
correct rule in local elections. Our doc
trine is in such matters to vote for the best
men, be they democrats or republicans
What matters it Bhe ther the candidate for
sealer of weights and measures in the -
ward voted for Lincoln or Douglas? We
care nothing about that. He may be the
bitterest partizan democrat in town, hut
if he be " faithful, capable and honest, "
we shall certainly support him as against
another candidate, republican though he
may be, who fails to answer these require
ments This should be the rule of political
action with all-democrats as well as re-
publicans. If it were generally acted up
on and lived up to. the affairs of Water
town would be better administered than
they usually have been, and the expert
ment once tried would always be sure of a
repetition.

Secesh Literature.


We make no apology for surrendering
good share of our space this week to the
publication of the following choice speci-
mems of rebel literature, sent home to his
parents by Charles W. Pierce, of Taylor's
Battery, who obtained them at Fort Don
elson. The letters are decidedly rich and
besides attesting the fact that the rebels
are seeing hard times and that they are
compelled to turn out and fight. thew show
conclusively also that the schoolmaster has
never been abroad in that part of Tennes-
see whence these beautiful productions en-
anated. But we are keeping our readers
TOO long from the letters The first one
we see on opening our budget is the fol-
loving which we give rer6atim ct h.terattm.
We have taken the liberty to supply an
occasional word (tbus) in order to make
sense O. but have refrained from giving
the proper punctuation points of which it
and the other letters are entirely innocent ::

Monday evening at the Baptist church,
Like all of Mr. Browns efforts on that top
ic, this one was replete with interest and
gave the best of satisfaction. Owing to
the limited notice which had been given OF
the meeting, the audience was not as large
as it should have been a week from to-
morrow evening he will be here again and
speak in the Methodist church. We hope
then TO see crowded house There is no

By reference to notice in another col

of this deservedly popular school will COM
mence on Monday. April 18th. It's ses-
sion will continue twelve weeks. To those
who desire to give their children a thor

ton offers superior advantages. If any Of
our young people contemplate attending
school out of the city the coming summer,
they can find no better place to go than
Lake Mills. 1t is a pleasantly located vii
lage, and its quietude renders it a desirable
summer resort. L. R. Leavitt is the prin-
cpal, who is graduate of Bowdoin col
lege, Maine, which is a sufficient guarantee
of ability.

Interesting Developments In Jefferson


The last Jefferson Republican makes an
exposure of the manner in which the tax
payers of that town have been feeced by
some of its former town officials out Of the
modest little sumS75.76. The following
was the modus operan4i:
1.-The original ani correct assessment
roll, or warrant. furnished Gutenberg and
Berger by the Clerk of the Board. shows
S.. 620.14. A duplicate Cor what purpor-
ted to be one) was taken from this. and
By adding 10 IL per cent. INCREASED
To S6,455 81, making SS75.7b more than
the true warrant called for. Gutenberg
and Berger collected the taxes according
to the duplicate, and of course. collected
over eight hundred dollars more than they
had any right to; thus constituting them
selves assessors, as well as collectors, and
imposing upon the taxpayers an unlawful
increase of 10 - per cent. in their taxes,
which they collected and-pocketed.
Of the extent of Hake's embezzlement,
we are not informed, but hear it reported
at $4,000
These are facts. as are shown by assess
ment rolls, and duplicates in the treasurer
and town clerk Office, and there seems to
be no room for doubt, but for the credit
of the town We wish there was.
1t is an open handed fraud badly play
ed. IN which stupidity has got the advan-
tage of dishonesty. Hence the exposure. !"
Guttenburg was town treasurer aud
Berger was town clerk. The latter. also.
was deputy treasurer and transacted all
the business of both Offices, Guttenburg
being an incompetent man with ne business
capacity whatever. Hake, we believe,
was Guttenburg' predecessor. The peo-
pie of Jefferson are considerably exercised
at the developments thus made, as well
they nay be.
