La Crosse, Viroqua, and Mineral
Point Railroad.

This railroad was chartered and the
company created body corporate IN the
year 1859, by the name of the La Crosse
| V:rouua and Muscoda Railroad Company
| and authorized to construct a railroad from
the city of La Crosse via Viroqua to Mus
coda in Grant county, or Arena in Iowa
county, or to some point between Muscoda
and Arena, on the line of the Milwaukee
and Mississippi railroad, and in 1862 an
amendment to the charter of the company
was passed by the Legislature, changing
the corporate name, and authorizing the
company to extend their road to Mineral
Point, in Iowa county, to connect with the
road already completed to that point.
The company have complied with the
requirements of their charter, opened
books and received subscription to the cap
ital stock, elected directors and officers to
manage its affairs, and caused a survey and
profile of the route to be made, together
with the estimate of its probable cost.
By an enabling act of the Legislature,
the counties of La Crosse, Vernon, Rich
land and Iowa, together with the towns in
said counties, are authorized to vote tax
to aid in the construction of this important
thOIOuSuldTe. luz Toute tXtenuS Hoih
Mineral Point through the most thickly
settled and agricultural portions of Iowa,
Grant, Richland and Vernon counties, con-
nected at La Crosse with the Southern
Minnesota Railroad, now completed to
Rushford.
When this connecting link between La
Crosse and Mineral Point is completed,
tapping as it would the agricultural regions
of Minnesota via the Southern Minnesota
and Minnesota Central. Chicago and the
Northwest would certainly reap incalcula-
BILE benefits. Ill
The Winona and St. Peters and the
Minnesota Central railroads, now seeking
an eastern connection, would find it most
desirable to make such connection at La
Crosse, to secure the benefits and advan
tage of two competing lines east, instead of
building the ''cut off" to connect with only
one road, the Milwaukee and St. Paul, and
as it is now indicated by the last reports
from Madison that the "cut off" branch
railroad will be defeated, would it not be
expedlent to make strenuous efforts to aid
in the early completion of the line to Min
eral Point; that the Legislature of Wiscon-
sin may be relieved in future from "cut
off" lobbyists.-La Crosse Democrat

sThe investigation of the New York
custom house frauds appear to ilnplicate
Judge Doolittle and Judge Patterson. Mr..
Smythe, the collector, testifes that she
had to agree to give a. portion of the gene

son, and a portion to General Patterson,
the Presidents son-in-law, and one other
person who [m] cannot now think of,

Of this matter, the Chicago Journal says
"When the Wisconsin Legislature request
ed Senator Doolittle to resign, an over
whelming sense of obligation to nation
rushing madly towards the vortex of radi-
calism held him back but completely with
custem house frauds may yet compel him
to vacate his seat. We do not suppose
that personal loss or even disgrace would
weigh down his patriotic soul, but the
thought that he could no longer serve, his
country for his country's good would be

That Drunken Dog"

The Mineral Point Democrat of last week
inserted an article signed "Highland," de-
lending the drunken dog which we spoke
of a few weeks ago. The writer of that
article thinks that the fact that dog will
get drunk in the village of Highland is
"disparaging to the people, we were not
aware of this fact; we did not~sthink that
the people of that model village were so
sensitive on the subject of drunkenness.
He calls the dogs drunkenness an "acci-
dental position;' - this also is something
new; we had not heretofore regarded ha-
bitual drunkenness, as an accidental posi-
ton. He claims that the dogs exposure
is disparaging to ''the character of the en-
tire community" If we had known the
sensitiveness of the community, and be-
licved the statement of the Democrats cor
respondent, we might have been more
careful, for we dislike to hurt the feelings
of an entire community. The article oc-
cupes an entire column, and is mean low
personal attack on the editor of this pa
per, entirely uncalled for, and unworthy
of notice. The fact which we chronicled
in relation TO the dog IS uotsand cannot be
denied; it is not attempted, but from the
spirit of the article, we should think that
the drunken pup who wrote it objects to
his mother's exposure, consdering it a
personal fling at his family. He however
shows his breed by his bark, he is a harm
less pup, and won't bite.
