A LIVE ARTIST has been in our midst,
lived, moved and had a being right
here in Upton. Bill DIT. Travis, "Spe-
cial Artist of the Cumberland army"
on last Monday and Friday evenings,
exhibited his panorama Of scenes from
the location and operation Of that army
while commanded by Major General
Rosencrans.
Not being at all able to judge intelli-
gently of such work, an opinion may
not be worth much; but to our unedu-
Gated taste his pictures did look very
nice, and great pleasure was derived
from seeing them. .~
Mr.. T. is also possessed of very good
oratorical and rhetorical powers, which
were used in the explanatory lecture
rather more than the circumstances,
including the state of the weather, war
ranted. He seems to be on kind Of
Crusade to make "Old Rosy's" name a
bright particular star among the galaxy
of good officers. He disclaims having
"Rosy on the brain;' but he certainly
must have him pretty deeply seated
somewhere-evidently thinking the
truly brave old General lineal descend
ant of Mars, armed with more thunder
bolts than Jupiter carried for common
occasions. If the General thinks az
much of the artist as the artist thinks of
the General, they ought to have formed
themselves into a mutual admiration
society upon parting company. But
taken all together, we are sorry that Mr.
Travis did not receive greater cncour-
agcment, his audience being only mode
rate when the house should have been
filled. His paintings, with whatever
amount Of artistic merit they may have. 4
are original, unique, and laid upon most
interesting scenes to every Americans;
and with his liberal terms Of admission
he really deserves extensive patronage.

lfthere is any good reason why Tip
ton should not have Grant and Colf,x,
or some otherwise denominated cam
paign organization, we should like to
be Informed what that reason is. And
if true, as we see it, that there is no rca-
son why we should not; but every rea-
son why we should have such an organ
ization in operation-in the name of
common sense, let us have one. 1t
signifies nothing that no one appre-
hends very close contest in Old Cedar,
and especially in this part of it,, For the
sake of our good name and influence
elsewhere, let us show signs enough of
life and activity to meet somewhere
and cheer somebody, if nothing more.

AS CONSIDERABLE interest has been
manifested in the Cole beer case, men.
TONED elsewhere, we publish herewith
the decision of Judge Rothrock, entire:
DAVID e. COLE VS.. THE MAYOR OF TIP
E MUS. IN VACATION.
This is an application for the writ of
mandanus to compel the Mayor of Tip
ton 70 issue license to the plaintiff for
the sale or beer, Wine, &c, under Ordi-
nance 4G of said town.
Plaintiff alleges insubstance that on
June 3D., 1868, he made application for
license for the term of one year, and
that at that time and for some fifteen
days thereafter, Ordinance 46 remained
in force. BY the Ordinance, q copy of
which is set out in the petition, it is the
duty Of the Mayor to issue the license
within five days after the application
therefor Is made, and place the same in
the hands of the Treasurer, who shall
notify the applicant, and the applicant
shall pay for the same within five days
after such notice. The plaintiff claims
that if the Mayor had issued the license
within five days he would have been
enabled to continue the sale for nearly a
year after the repeal OF the Ordinance
and the enacting of Ordinance No. So.
WHICH prohibits the sale of beer and
wine, &C.; and that having made the
application, he did all that he was re-
CURED to do; and now asks that the
Mayor be compelled to act, notwith-
standing the repeal of the Ordinance.
Ordinance 46 provides that any person
or persons selling said liquors without
making application for license
shall De subject TO fine of five dollars,
&c. The plaintiff In this case having
made the application, il he had been
prosecuted for selling, the fact of having
made such application would have been
a complete defence under the plea OF
mot guilty" In other words, it is for
not making application that he is liable,
and not for lot having a written license
from the Mayor. The Court is asked in
this case to compel the Mayor to do an
act which under tho Ordinance can in
no possible state of the case aid the
plaintiff: Suppose the Mayor were now
to issue the license without writ from
this Court commanding him to do 90!
Would that be any additional protec-
ton to the plaintiff? l might here dis

n CASE Of some interest to our citizens
was argued before the District Court on
Monday last, caused by the application
of d. g. Cole for writ of mandamus
compelling the town council to grant
him license to sell ale, beer, wine, &c.
The ground Of application for such writ
was as follows: @s s@' e ~
Cole applied for a license to sell Ger,
wine, &C., during the ensuing year
some fifteen days before the repeal of
the ordinance granting such license !;
according to the provisions Of which no.
tice shall be given to applicants within
five days after application having been
made, that their license is ready where
upon five days is allowed them to pay
for and secure their license. Until they
receive such notice, and for five days
thereafter, they have right to sell with
out a license. In view of the approaching
repeal of this ordinances no no ticewas ia
ken Of Mr. Cole application for a license;
and his application for . writ was based
upon accrued rights, claimed to have
been gained under the license ordinance
which could not be annulled by the new
ordinance prohibiting sale Of beer, &C.,
which would come in this case as an er
post fncto law. Judge Rothrock refused
to grant the writ on grounds which will
appear in the following extract from his
decision. "Tho Plaintiff by the neglect
or omission of the officers to issue the
license had legal right to sell up to
the date ofthe repeal without paying Ii
cense; and it is difficult to see by what
claim of right he can now 60 on and
sell. He has paid no money, his situa-
ton is not changed. All that he did
was to make the application and give
the mayor notice that he desired to sell
for year." From which the Judge con-
ciudes that he has no accrued rights
and consequently refuses the petition.

INTERNAL REvEsU,;.-Nearly year
ago an order was propagated from the
L. S. Treasurer's office requiring all as
SCISSORS Of internal revenue to SO reorga-
nize their districts rs to employ less
number of assistant assessors wherever
1t could be done without loss Of revenue
10 the Government. In consideration
OF which the assessor of the second dis
trict has effected changes making four
divisions and five assistant assessors.
instead Of seven divisions and nine as
sistants, as formerly. s@
As now organized the first division is
composed of Muscatine and Cedar
counties, s. +. Whicher, Asst Assessor;
the second division, of Scott county, H.
II. Smith, Asst Assessor; the third di-
vision of Clinton county, Rob't Speer,
Asst Assessor; the fourth division, Of

Coulter, Asst Assessor. This will
undoubtedly save the Treasury some

the local knowledge necessary in maxi

his position among the lights of the

NEWS ITEMS.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will
not take up Mr.. Evarts' nomination as
Attorney General till. the meeting OH
Saturday, and it is impossible to predict
how they will report it. 1t is found by
the impeachment Investigating Com
mittee that his fees from the govern
ment for three years since Johnson
came into power amount to upwards of
$4s 900, and good deal of wonder is ex-
pressed that with such All income he
should consent to accept the office.
The committee are urged by many
prominent Republicans of the North to
report in favor of the confirmation.
The Presidents veto Of the Omnibus
Reconstruction bill occupied the atten.
ton of the House just twenty minutes
and Of the Senate ten minutes. The
bill went through the upper branch by
30 to 8. and the lower branch by l05 to
30. The Democrats express good deal

A storm up in Harrison county "cut
some fantastic tricks before high heav-
en-" Capt. Hill informs the Star that
calf, belonging to Mr.. Wakefield, when
the storm commenced, was tied up to q
post In WIS yard. After the storm the
calf was gone, as also part Of the post,
and Mr.. w. spent the forenoon looking
for It, but IN vain. Mr.. Hill, on going
to his farm in tho afternoon, found q
calf in the field with rope round its
neck and a pest hole 10 the other end Of
the rope. As there was no break in the
fence, the calf must have been carried
there by the storm. 1t was identified
as belonging to Mr.. W., and, strange to
say, was not in the least injured after
being blown distance of half a mile.
The above calf story is passing strange but
1t seems that calves hereabouts leave their
pastures without the agency of storms A
calf-supposed to be a fine onc--disappeared
nom the pasture of Mr.. VIM. Aldrich, one
night last week, before ever being seen by any
one except the Old cow-its mother, and the
Thief; and those best at guessing seem to have
serious doubts that even the mother saw it,
IL is unnecessary to say that the man who
stole a calf at that tender age would rob q hen
rocst, or steal acorns from blind pig.
