CLARENCE, July Sth, 1866.

DEAR ADvERTIsER:-Thism morning l
thought I would write short article
and make up for past delinquences. The
first thing in order will be to notice the
celebration at our town, on the 4th. The
evening before the 4th, storm visited
our town, amounting almost to hurri-
cane the rain fell in torrents, until our
streets were flooded with water, and our
prospects for celebrating the next day
looked rather gloomy. The faces of
some of our citizens become somewhat
elongated after the storm Tuesday eve
ming. But to fully verify the fact that
there is ever bright sunshine behind
the dark storm cloud, on the morning Of
the 4th the sun rose bright, casting its
genial rays over town and country.
There is no selfishness in the sunshine
it CLEANS alike on rich and poor, and
does not scOrn to kiss the flowers around
the peasants door. The faces that look
ed sad and gloomy Tuesday, became ra-
diant with smiles on the morning of the
4th.
It was thought by some that there
were three thousand people in attend
ance. O. E. Aldrich of Jones county,
and Hon. S. Fairall of Iowa City, adj
dressed the people. They acquitted
themselves like men, and spoke in such
way and manner that all were pleased
with their speeches. All went off pleas
antly. There were a few individuals..that
were little noisy during the morning
they had too much beer and eighty-rod
whiskey, but towards noon they became
sleepy and found a place to stow them
selves, SO we heard nothing more of
them during the day. May we all live
long to celebrate the return of our Ma
tons birthday. The Cornet Band
furnished music which helped to make
up our measure Of pleasure. There
were toasts read and responded to, and
20 all Appearances everything passed off
pleasantly and TO the apparent satisfac-
ton OF AZ. Abner Plat acted Is, mar
shal of the day, and acquitted himself
well There was dancing at simmons

Tn Aac Ose, the Plains.

ATCHlSON, 1AdASdS3
The Daily Champion to-day publishes an
accurate statement of the amount of freight
Skinned across the plains for the past year.
Twenty-seven firms and individual freighters
were engaged in this business during the past
wear. The aggregate amount OF their ship
inents was 21 100000 lbs. of assorted merchan-
disc, requiring for its transportation nearly five
thousand wagons, over seven thousand mules
and horses and nearly twenty-eight thousand
oxen. Over half of this freight went to Colo
RADIO and the remainder to different points in
Utah, Montana, Nevada and Western Kansas,
including the military posts. The capital in
vested in this business was over six millions of
dollars. AS,
The value of the merchandise and machine
ry transported is not definitely known.
The overland coaches, which leave and ar
rive here daily, have taken out and brought in
over four thousand passengers, and have also
brought here over So, 100000 in specie and car
ried out 10000 lbs. Of express freight. 4-cn-t9
Dutterflelds overland dispatch line has also
carried out large number of passengers each
way, but as that line was established late in
the season, no accurate statement of its bust
ness is male. VI 81. .yhaaI
The freighting business of this city was sew
en- times greater last year than in 1851, five
times larger than in 1862 four times larger
than in 1858, and five million lbs. greater than
in 1854.
The most experienced freighters think that
the trade in 1886 will be nearly double that Of
the past year. hssEg - - -

Goo. Fair79eld's Inaugural

-. t1.ss.g ~ MADISON, Wis, Jan. 1.
Gov. Fairfeld's inaugural, after abiding to
the war and its results, says the American
people ask that the highest judicial tribunal
shall give expression to the verdict of the peo-
pie, that any attempt to right their fancied or
real wrongs by force of arms, is treason, by the
trial of Jefferson Davis. Not until Davis Shall
have been tried, convicted and hung for trea-
son, and the fact that treason is crime which
cannot be committed with impunity. shall have
thus been fully demonstrated, will the Ameri
can people be content. He fayors special
enactments to protect freedmen against Cd
pressions of their late masters; the admission
of freedmen to the witness stand in the jury
box and suffrage. 4tflt .fft
The Governor says on the reconstruction Of
the States lately in rebellion, it seems neces-
sary that ample evidence should be required
that they are disposed to yield willing ODE
dience to the Constitution and laws of the
United States, and each should be required
to ratify the amendment to the constitution,
forever prohibiting the payment of the rebel
debt and affirming the sacredness of the Ma
tional debt. Also declaring all ordinances of
secession null and void, and apportioning the
representatives in Congress upon the number
of voters in each State. 81.
