The ShullsbuFg Railroad.

y correspondent Of the Galena Ga
sstts, writing from Shullsburg spea ks
thus discouraginely of the Monroe and
Dubuque Railroad which IS to pass
through ShuEsburg:
The town has been somewhat ex-
cited OF late, in regard to the propos-
ed building of railroad from Monroe
through tins place to Dubu Iue Some
time since, the company promised
that IN case the town would raise one
hundred thousand dollars. they would
build the road Immediately. \ special
election was called soon after for the
purpose of levying a tax upon the
town. which resulted IN nearly a unan-
lmous vote in favor of raising $50
600 By tax on the village-the other
$4,000 to be raised II the township.
The company now want them to raise
$4,000 merchandising $4,000 in
all, and to give them the right of way
besides. The people feel badly disap-
pointed at this kind Of treatment. and
their hope for a railroad Is sadly
blighted.

Counting Unmatched Chickens.

Mr. Moses N. Strong. a Seymour
candidate for Presidential elector in
this State, has been attempting to
mitigate the gloom that surrounds the
Copperhead party by some elaborate
mathematical calculations, which he
has duly communicated to the Mil
waukee Neacs, wherein they are pub
lished at large with proper editorial
comment.
The point Of Mr.. Strong's calcula-
tions is that if the Democracy Of this
State could make a uniform gain Of
four per cent. in every county over
their vote of last fall, they would car
" the State by bare majority of
some hundreds. In other words, the
Republican majority on Governor last
fall was little less than 5000, and
if the Democratic party can gain s.
600 as compared with last year, they
viii carry the State. In this shape
the problem evidently looked little
too absurd for Mr.. Strong; but when
thrown into tabular form, with the
vote of each county. the gains OF 1867
and the percentage of losses and gains
he seems TO think the general effect
more cheering. and more apt TO i'm
press the average Democratic minc
with an idea that there must be some
thing marvellouslv consoling behind
such formidable array OF figures.
The difficulty Mr.. Strong will FIND
to be in making the four per cent
gain. The Republicans are intend
ing to give one of their old-fashioned
majorities this fall 1t is only the
Presidential election that brings out
the full vote of our party. 1t is al
innocent diversion for Mr.. Strong to
figure upon suppositious results, but
We would advise him not to stake
anything on such calculations There
is small but fatal '.if" in his way
