Iowa County VS.. Mineral Point.

This action was commenced in the cir
emit court for this county about two years
AGO. At the March term change of ve-
nue. was taken to Lafayette county where
the case came up on the 18th. before Judge
Mills. Quite number ofewitnesses were
present on both sides. This suit was COM
menced by the County Board for the re-
covery of the property known as the pub
lie square in the city of Mineral Point, and
the buildings thereon. The county claimed
the title by virtue of patent issued in
1874 and from the fact that it had paid
for the pre- re.emption, and had peaceable
possession for over twenty years. The de-
fendant, the city of Mineral Point, claimed
it by virtue of an act Of Congress, denom-
mating the tract of land public square,
and donating the same for public use for
all time. On the patent being presented
as evidence, quite spirited argument was
had before the court of over five hours du-
ration, in which Philo A. Orton, counsel
for the county, M. NJ Cothren and Charles
Dunn, counsel for the city, took, part.
The court decided the patent not admissa-
BILE as evidence. This patent being the
main point of contention, the case was vir-
tually at an end. A proposition was made
that the suit be continued until the county
board could be consulted with--and by
way of efecting a compromise, the city
would agree to pay the sum of 81 800 for
the old building to the county, thereby
ending any litigation between the parties.
The suit was therefore continued, and the
proposition of the city of Mineral Point is
to be presented to the county board, which
will. doubtless be at special session soon
to be called. For our part, we are heartily
glad that there is prospect of the settle
ment of this difficulty. The city of Miner
al Point will ever remain in possession of
a public square, which is to all intents and
purposes for the public use, while the
county will not perhaps receive the real
value of tbs buildings, yet sufficient, and in
the long run be the gamer. for both sides
had a fair prospect of a ten or twenty years
of law suit, which would cost five times
the amount. For years there has been
sort of strife between the southern and
northern parts of this county, and we
know of no time better than now to urge
upon our people to let by cones be by cones
and to all join hands and enter the field
for the good of the whole county. While
this suit was not waged from any section
al feelings, but from right which the
county authorities believed to be due, yet
there are those who are never satisfied
without giving a color to every act, be tby
either, as unjust and uncalled for. We
pray this feeling may cease, and this day
be the one to inaugurate genial and broth
erly feeling--to act like men, not like
beasts, ready to pounce on each other at
the word go.

~ Sheriff Wigham, who has just re-
turned from Waupun, where he has taken
the prisoner who was sentenced to the
penitentiary for one year, at the late term
of court, at this place, appears much pleas
ed with the neat, clean, and comfortable
appearance of things in and around the
prison. The convicts are all kept at work,
but do not seem to be over worked or
driven. They have plenty of good whole
some vituals, and very good quarters to
sleep in. They turn out every year large
quantities of excellent work, such as cabi-
net ware, boots and shoes, &C., which is
source of great revenue to the state, and
goes long way toward making the insti-
tuition self.sustaining.

Eg-As might naturally be expected,
the copperheads object to the law which
authorizes the secretary of state to furnish
clerks of county boards with certified lists
of deserters. They denounce it as 'an act
to disfranchise twenty thousand white
men," But this is quiet natural, for the
votes of twenty thousand deserters would
be ap: 10 make very material difference
in the size Of democratic majorities.
