An Important Decision.

The following important opinion
was rendered by the Supreme Court
OF this State few days since:
Smith VS.. Lewis ct al. Opinion by
Downer, ].
|. The purchaser at foreclosure
sale takes the whole interest Of the
plaintiff in foreclosure, free Of any
lien in favor of the latter founded
upon any tax certificate, held by him
at the time of such sale
2. Where the plaintiff in foreclo-
sure himself purchases at the sale,
any tax certificate then held by him
is extinguished.
3. Where the purchaser at fore
closure afterwards purchases tax
certificate, this is prima facia equiva-
lent TO a redemption from the sale,
whether such sale was made before
or after the sale in foreclosure.
4. As general rule, one interes-
ted IN land with others, and deriving
title from the same source, caunot
acquire an absolute title TO the land
a. against such others, by tax deed !;
and this rule is here applied to a per
son holding as purchaser on forecIo-
sure OF a second mortage, as against
Il prior mortgage.

peal the law "or assume q revolu.
tionar} attitude and revolutionary

nsa-It is the intention of the Osh-

ny to make preliminary surveys, and
locate the line OF the road as soon as
practible, especially from Portage
City southwest, where the best and
most feasible route is more uncer-
tain than between Oshkosh and Por-
tage City. The cons FACTION of his
road has become almost a necessity
to the growing interests Of the coun-
try at and beyond both ends Of the
route and along the line A direct
connection between the timber and
mineral regions Of the north, and
immense water power CT the lower
Fox River, with Green Bay for a
lake port on the one hand, and the
great grain growing and prairie
regions Of Southern Wisconsin,
Central and Western Illinois and
Iowa on the other, would. be so pal
pably beneficial to the full develop
ment of the resources of both sec
tions, and a line Of railroad connec-
ting them would so evidently be the
channel of an immense traffic, and
profitable line, that it seems hardly
possible that its construction can be
long delayed.

DR.. HAMLIN's CHOLERA REMEDIES.
There is serious mistake in the
formula of DIR. Hamlin cholera spe-
cifies as published in several relis-
ious and other Hummelshine, first
prescription is stated thus: /. lau-
danum and spirits of camphor; ?,
tincture ofrhubarb-equal parts In
consequence of which, apolhecaries
have made the mistake of putting up
one half laudanum and camphor, and
one half rhubarb whereas, there
should be equal parts each of laud-
anum, rhubarb and camphor-a ma
terial difference.

GOVERNOR FAIRcHILD on THE
POLITICAL SITUATIoN-TheM Madison
correspond mt of the Milwaukee Sen
tinel, in mentioning the return of
Governor 9airchild from Washing
ton, says:
Like the majority of Union men
who have lately visited the national
capital, he returns stonger in the
faith that the position Of Congress is
the safest and best for the future
prosperity Of the country, and that
ut the polls this fall it will be heartily
endorsed by the men who loved their
country well enough to fight for it,
and by the many who, from the re-
cent history Of their country, believe
that eternal vigilance is the price
Of liberty In his own emphatic
words after being manned by rsb-
els, he does not mean TO kneel down
To them"

John P. Manny's Combined Reaper

1t is we'll known that the two
Nanny brothers, John P and John
H., have long been strong rivals in
the manufacture of Reapers, each
shop getting up different machine
with hosts of friends claiming the
highest merits tor tho machine Of
their respective choice. At present
the John p. Nanny Combined Rea-
per and Mower appears taking the
lead, even in parts where the John
Ii. Machine has long been in use.
Mr.. f. Clayton, Of Annaton has
the agency for Grant County for the
John z. Machine and will canvass all
the towns by himself or local agents
imm odiately. He has a dozen ma
chimes ready for delive ~ and any
number can be had If ordered in good
time.
Mr. Clayton will warrant bis ma
chines in manner that will make
his warrants good, which is not al
ways the case with agents who sell
machines, take notes in payment and
transfer such notes to cvadc guaran-
tees. He will hold on to notes and
money till purchasers are satisfied
with all pledges aud guarantees OF
machines. Mr.. Clayton is an expe-
rienced farmer and judge of farm

The union people of the whcle
country demand trial Of Jeff. Da
Wis, not a dissenting voice. A large
maj ority believe him guilty. of trea
son, and think he ought to sbe hung
and that his trial ought TOT be held
before military court because hi.
offenses were chiefly of g. military
sort as commander in chief of the
rebel armies.
From tho first, by delays, by
shifts, by DEGREES and by other re-
sorts, the case of Davis vas ruled
away from military tribuI.a ls; and
then by other lodges it w,ss ruled to
take place before the civil sourts far
enough south where three sourths OF
the people are traitors and where
such body as a loyal juryiis out of
the question.
And now Davis is to he tried not
III Wow of his conviction FOR palpa
bic treason and punishment by death
iffound guilty, but in distinct view
Of his acquittal and thereupon the
pardon of every rebel below his
status in the crime of treason, he
being the head.
President Johnson is the unoues.
toned h ad of all this management
for clearing jeff. Davis, and this is
what's the matter. Johnson has be-
trayed the union interest Of the
country and joined the enemy.
We should not so seriously object
to the matter Of thus relieving all
the rebels from punishment, but for
this reason: A precedent is thereby
formed, which will DO urged at all flu
ture times tor treason as to how the
chiefs Of future treason must be
treated. They must be pardoned-
a fact which rathor invites future
rebellion and war.
besides, by thus disposing of the
chief rebels now, and by. adopting
the Presidents plans in demanding
no guarantees for their future good
conduct, but rather in placing at
the once government in their hands
Justas il was under Buchanan. we
should certainly be liable to another
war-that too, with Congress and
President against the union party
Of the country.
Our resources and finances could
not bear another war, and we should
have to submit to disunion and bank
ruptcy, withal, war in All proba-
bility that shall prove more destruc-
tive to life than the late war
So we can see no way looking to
relief but in standing by congress in
every act that such body may deem
advisable.
jeff. Davis viii be cleaied, and,
anless the constitutional amend
mcnt now before congress carries
with the people, he and all bis rebel
congress and military chiefs will be
again in our congress in less than
two years. These, with the lew cop
pcrhead members returned from the
north, would make clear snaiority
in congress favorable to AMY meas
ure demanded by JEFF Davis. and his
party. What they might demand
in such event must bo--well; known.
Now is the time to think of these
matters and to silently arouse the
country upon them.
