The County Board of Supervisors,

Matlread meeting at Dodgeville.

Delegates representing the people
of the several towns Of Iowa County
met on the 9th at MineYal Point for
the purpose of considering what is
best to do about the railroad bond
debt Of that county and several Of the
towns. Several propositions were
offered an9 argued, but at last it was
voted nearly unanimously to pay the
entirS pTincipal of the debt in FIVE
annual instaliments. This would not
be providing for the interest. 1t is
for the bond holders to say whether
they will settle ON the terms. The
amount apportioned through five
years would require an annual tax of
about 100000 on the people for f9e
years and as the tax basis OF that
county is but a trifd above halt the
valuation Of Grant County, tue tax
rate will fall on the People of Iowa as
500, 900 would on the people Of
Grant. But, readers, we have not n
doubt had the people Of Grant Coun-
ty taxed themselves FEARS q, mill
ion dollars for ono or more railroads
the assessed violation of this county
you'd this LAY be near double what
it is nov. We believe the assessed
valuation of Grant County is about
six millions for this year. Had we
railroad running through the interior,
another to Platteville and another
along the Mississippi river, there can
be no doubt every acre Of our lands
would be valued double the present
figure, and bring double at market
Dear as has been the Mineral Point
Branch Railroad it has paid the PEG
pic 400 Per cent. above cost.

Maj. Wood, being about to remove
from our County and State to Iowa,
deems it his duty to leave the flag of
Co, G, End Cavalry, which he had
the honor to command in our hands
to be disposed of in some proper way.
The following note accompanied the
package containing flag and spear

Mr.. Cover
This flag that | prize

among the relics of the war.
1t was presented to Co., G, I'd Wis.
Vol. Cavalry, by the patriotic ladies
Of Patch Grove the day we left the
County for the war.
Make such disposition of it as you
think best; the staff was broken on

Greeley's American Conflict Second
Volume,

Greeley's Second Volume of war
history is being delivered to subscri-
bers, and in all respects is superior to
the first volume. 1t will take time to
furnish the 10000 subscribers but
Mr.. Copeland the Agent for Grant
County, will soon be at the door of
all his patrons.
Thisvolume contains 1872 pages, OK
elusive ofengravings, being 1872 more
than the first book. The first was
sold at 81 and it was not then known
there would be any increase of matter
or cost of materials. But the war
held longer than was expected, and
work, paper, leather, &c, raised near
~ third above estimates, so that the
last volume comes some dearer, but
dollar however. But we could all
wish that Mr. Greeley had written
more, even at a greater addition of
charge. His history of the war will
ever'be the best and greatest, as we'll
as most truthful and in style the
plainest for all classes of readers to
understand. AT first two volumes OF
but 600 pages each were promised
The paper and large print Of both
volumes are the very best
We hope all having the first vol
ume may secure the second, and that
new subscribers may offer for both
volumes to the end that such useful
reading may be found in every fami

Died, Nov. 4, OF Enlargement of
Liver and disease Of several years
standing, Mr.. Thomas Bailey, an old
respected citizen Of Grant County,
aged f3 years. 9 months 4nd p days.
Mr.. Bailey was native'Qt Randals-
town, County Antrim Ireland. The
family were Of Scotch Descent, such
being distinguished as Scotch Irish,
He migrated 70 this country in the
Spring of l847, and settled first at
Benton, Lafayette County, Wis,
where for three years he followed
mining. in 1850 he went to Californ-
ia. He stayed there twb years and
did very well at mining 70? gold. He
returned to Wisconsin in 1852 and
bought the AleX'r. Walker farm, on
Boicc' Prairie, Town Of Fctosi, which
property he impro I'd according to
his rare good tast or allie home.
About thls time h. married a Miss
Richardson, with whom he was ac-
quainted in boyhood, she, being also
a native Of the same part Of Ireland
with himself. Upon turning his at
tention to forming and up to bis de-
cease he was very successful at for
tune making, his disease however
greatly interfering. If we'rcmember
rigktly it was in the winter of 1856
he took severe cold which settled
in his throat, causing a disease which
no art could cure, and WHICH proba-
Fly led to the liver complaint Of which
he died,
Deceased was widely known and
distinguished as a philanthfopist and
patriot. His actions endeated him in
the hearts of people as one %ho went
beyond the mere profession OF these
virtues. Unable to SO tq the war
himself and being free from liability
to service he hired and kcpp 2 substi-
tute IN the army during most OF the
war, saying, 'the Union shall be main
tained if it takes all I've got and
more tQo." IN pejghborAood affairs,
as school business, seeing t0,the poor,
&c, MI. Bailey was always nrst and
foremost in work and bcstoWments.
He was man Of correct habits, sound
judgment and discretion.
Deceased leaves a devoted wife and
six children, besides two brothers in
the Sopth end cno ip lhis vicinity, to
mourn his departure. Lass Spring
he visited his native Irelarf for a
possible benefit to his health but,
returning in the fall rather worse, he
at once set about preparing, himself
for another world, and in a.brsiness
way setting his house in order that
his family might have fewerprcplex-
tiles. These things being seen to.he
departed as one having done, faith
full part.

Insanity and Suicide.

Mrs. Almira B. Andrews, residing
in the town of Richland, Mimi. com.
mitted suicide on the 18th inst. by
jnmping into a well. She had been
insane about two months. Previous
Affections and sickness had greatly
impaired her health and as disease
again laid its hand upon her and
fewer TIN obed in her aching head,
her system could bear no more
Her oldest daughter, who was sleep
ing with her, awoke, and not finding
mother, aroused the family who
searched until they found her as
above stated. Her insanity was of
a mild, melancholy nature. She
scarcely ate enough to keep her
alive, yet in her weakness was con-
tinually trying to do something to
comfort her children, whose hearts
are now bleeding for that dear,
christian mother, whose sweet, pa
tiert face isadeeply engraved on the
hearts of wide circle of friends
The funeral services were conducts
cd by Rev. Mr.. Gilbert, at the
East Prairieyile church, who spoke
from l Thes. ~. ID. A throng of
sympathising hearts followed with
the mourners to the grave where the
once suffering tenamcnt of q loving
heart shall rest in sweet repose till
she trump of God shall sound the
first resurrection. A. l.. +.

The Additional Bounty.

1t has been decided by Govern
ment authorizes that enlisted men
who were discharged to receive
commissions as volunteer officers,
though they may have served Pc
riod Of two years Of the full three
years term of service, are excluded
from participation in the benefit OF
the additional bounty under the act
of July %, 1866. Drafted men and
substitutes are also excluded from
the additional bounty.
Notwithstanding the recent decis.
ion that soldiers who have lost their
digcharges cannot establish their
claims TO the additional bounty, in
quirics continue to be received at
Washington asking whether some
cxpedicnt can not be found to make
amends for the loss of discharge
papers. 1t should be distinctly I'M
dcrstood that the failure to present
the discharge with all applications
would be a mere waste of time and
trouble.

Impartial Suffrage in the District o
Columbia

The following bill paased the
House Of Representatives. on the 10Th
of January, 1866, by vote Of l2l yeas
to ~ nays:
ga BILL extending the Rights of
Sufragein the District Of Col pmbia.
"Be 1t enacted, ETC., That from all
laws and parts of laws prescribing
the qualifications of electors for any
officer in the District of Columbia,
the word white be and the same is
hereby stricken out, and that from
and after the passage of this act no
person shall be disqualified from
voting at any election held in the
said District on the account of
color"
"SEc. 2. That all acts of Congress,
and all laws of the State of Mary
land, in force in said District, and all
ordinanccseof the duties of Washing
ton and Geor getown, inconsistent
with the prosi ions of this act, are
hereby repealed and annulled."
This bill went to the Senate,
Wore it was never acted on. The
Senate committee into whose hands
it passed never reported back. The
Senate was afraid if they passed the
bill it would offend his satanic Maj
esty," who would probably veto it,
But VIC hope and trust when Con
gress meets this winter that the first
thing the Senate will do is to pass
this impartia al suffrage bill and il
Johnson vetoee it then promptly
pass it over his veto. The Rcpubli>
cans have a. three-fourths majority
in the House and nearly three fourths
in the Senate.
