THE OCTOBER ELEcr1ous.

In 1864 the election Of tie niehll
bers Of the present Congress took
place. At that time these men were
proclaiming their loud mouthed 10y
atty, and their desire to restore the
Southern States to the Union, and to
their proper relations to the Federal
Government. They were elected, and
from the day they took their seats
they commenced their -disunion mach
nations, but tried to cover them up
by deceptive plausibilities, and conf
dence in them began to waver. Grad-
ually one voter after another had his
eyes opened, and after the Gloso cf
their first session another election has
taken place in four States. Below we
give the result, and call the attentioIr
of the voters of Michigan to the in-,
mense losses to rudicalism CONSEQUENT

should have thsir work well and promptly
done, aud your committee think that we can
have no assurance that it Will be done IL we
depend uponits being done by contract.
Your Committee suppose that a dredge
would be worth three fourths or four fifths of
cost ter doing the work, and if sold would
save to the county several thousand dollars,
(it would seem about seven thousand dol
lars) Besides, If the county should deem 1t
best TO keep it for use on the rivers, II would
greatly aid in keeping the channels open and
from being filled with drifting sand and
earth, and consequently total loss OF the
money expended Your committee believe
that its use would be especially necessary on
tie tributaries, where unlike on the main
river, wealth and business is not concentrated,
and consequently far more difficult to keep
the channels open by private enterprise
Your committee recommend first an appro-
pration OF fifteen thousand dollars to buy or
to build a dredge, as proposed by accompany
ing resolution; or If the Board think this not
best, then, second, TO appropriate ten thou
sand dollars to expend on the tributaries
All of which is respectfully submitted.
