A Eexy Receiver Appointed for the Old
La Crosse aid milwaukee, H. n.


4, The Legislature Of 1864 passed an act to
provide . sinking fund for paying certain
debts Of the La CDsse aud Milwaukee Rail
road Company. said act provided that the
receiver, manager or superintendent Of said
road, should pay into the State Treasury the
sum Of twelve per rent. per annum Of Its ross
earnings, which sAou!d constitute a liking
fund for the redemption Of fnrm mortgages
given tn aid in the construction Of said rail-
road. The State Treasurer WAS to amply the
funds pro rata in liquidation Of the notes aud
mortgages presented for payment, aud when
any moTtgage was paid Of tho Treasurer was
to execute q certiflcate Of the fact, which re-
leased the mcrteage Of record upon filing the
same with the Register Of Deeds in the cotin-
ty where such land Is situated.
In case. OF the refusal of the operators Of
the road to comply with the requirements Of
slid act, and to pay over the Money as there
IN provided, then II WAS made the duty Of the
Governor to appoint q receiver who should
take possession Of said railroad and its ax-
tu1es, and apply It's earnings us provided BY
the Law.
THIS act of the legislature has been wholly
d:sregart1ed by the present managers Of the
road in question, and the government has &C.
cordipgly appointed Hon, stoddayd Judd, Of
Dodge county, Us receiver. Dr.. Judd was
forme iy president OF the La Crosse road,
and is thoroughly competent, to manage Its
auaIs anu Apply LIE p!ocetus as @uIh hct con-
templates, provided the Law Is pronounced
constitutional by the Supreme Court, upon
whose decision everything now depends. Of
course the present managers Of that corpora
ticn will not give up possession Of the prop
erty without testing the law by which they
are required to dd so, and thoss Interested on
the otncr side ara quite as anxious to know
whether it is Within the province Of the legis-
lature to grant them any relief. Tt ls evident
enough that thu present managers Of TINT
T sGnsd aa th ass @ Ra a1d yod or they
ago, tnasmuch' as the amount required to be
paid ia merely nominal: sum: The farmers
along the line OF that road owe, over one
million Of dollars On: these mortgngas, and
the appointment of Receiver Is one Of great
importaOce TO them.

Governor Fsnton, OF New York.


New York seems to aave gotau honest man
for Goyernor.' Tie has put strong curb on
the lobby schcmei of the vu1tures who hover
about Albany and fleece and p1under the peo-
pic ty bribing thttr Legislature to pass cor
rupt bills. ''--
First comes his 1eto Of the New York city
street railroad sch1ne, then the veto Of the
bill to authorize RI Increase of tolls on the
turnpike and pla1s roads, and next his veto
Of the New. York Cntral fare bill. In his ve-
to message Of thsah,ll he reviews the history
Of legislation In reference to the relation Of
that road to the {tate canals. At first the
railway chatter wk taken under restrictions
design, to protef the interests of tue peo-
pie In that great lanai against the railroad
competition. BIT year after year these re-
1ailrond could tke freight from the canal
without paying II, Tonnage to the State that
| Is assessed upon tie business Ct th- canal. He
makes succ:nct statement Of the legislative
| favo1s granted tothe road, relieving it from
It's OWL ccntracn and establishing the sys-
tenn Of commercial lberallty. He there
had gone fai enough in that d.
rection, and that the people had
rights that aonld be regarded. Io
reply to the argument Of the great increase
Of expenses, he ays that ths facts show that
the ncmlnul eattal and Indebtedness Is ic
excess Of the pttpsrty owned by the com
pany, SO that tha dividends earned on the
real capital invest9l, have been more than
1Lose declared By my corporation Of like
character IN this s.ae, and the official returns
made from year to lear to the State authori-
tics, under, the requirements ot the general
rash oad act, shoWIthat the income On the
nominal capltal infested. is larger than the
interest pad by t4 Eation1lor State Gov
e.nments, and alsq larger than the Interest
permitted to be pah for the use Of money by
. the laws Of this Site.
In Lis veto OF tAl Plank Road bill he sensi.
bly, remarks that 1T is simpossible to adjust
by legislation the incomes derived from per-
manent in:esrmen@s in times like these, to
/! the mutations in tle price of: labor or mite
rial, for they arc lispropo7tionably affected

arc FIVE several sheets, besides the covers.
The sheets are folded ID the center, and only
one side is printed. Five Of the pages contain
seven columns Of characters cash !; the re-

siderable excitement in the neiehborhood Of
the occurrence. The murderer is a farmer

of the same age. The remains were
found hidden under sguice-Wag in tie

Mrs. Prnner. Her head was broken, as if she
huti been beaten with club, which is suppo-
sed to be the weapon used by Penner to nc
complish the murder. Before he could be ar
rested he had set fire to his two largo bans.
And to add to the chapter Of horrors, he at-
! tempted to commit suicide by seyer1ng an ar

and lodged in the County Jail at Adrian.
