OF WOOD COUNTY,
vs., THE TAN PA NEItS

The discussion of the question of remov
ing the County from Porrysburg 10
Bowling Green, has, in our opinions
b 'cn Improperly restricted TO what Is
termed the claims of tho ooutending
localities, whilst the general interests
ot the taxpayers in tho balance of the
county have been Placed in allegiance, Or
the advantages or disadvantages OF local
ty, which have been thus presented hy
Tho several advocates, We shall say moth
ing the farmers of Wood County eau
speak more lorcihly on that point than we
can. But we respectfully submit that there
nru claims aud rights paramount TO those
a lvanced by either place, which may not
with propriety be disrcgOrded, 1t il the
right and claims OF tho taX-payerS at large,

the seat of justice Ivy fair aud uuprcju.
diced vote on the question OF taxation. 1t
ia also their right TO demand that the will
o the majority shall decide that question
aud that lactious litigation shall cease, We
a.e aware that some of our iriuuds state
that such decision has been rendered,
aud that the Commissioners are warranted
ly that vote, in levyiug tax for tho cree
t,on of county buildings at Bowling Green
Against this conclusion, large number o
Taxpayers have demurred, en- the ground,
that material facts in the case were per
Nerted an msreprescutod merely TO in
hueuce and secure ma aiority OF votes. A,
an illustration however, of motives urgc'
on the voters Of this County to secure thci
suffrage, wo give the following. Tho al
vocates for removal represented the Per
rysburg Court House as being insecure anC
nnsafe-that large amounts OF money wer
annually expended in keeping It up, and O.
Oct, 5, 1866, just prior to the vote beiul
taken, tho Bowling Green Adpoc0ts pull

consistent with the truth, as it is uuwal
Ianted by law:

THE AVIS"
Stristiauste8, ii, groix.
TUESDAY, 7ru JANUARY 1865.

TIE New Year has commenced and
with it troubles and difficulties. The
political position of this place is more or
less uncertain. Certainly, it would be
nothing to boast Of, that st. Thomas and
st. Johns are sold to the United States,
and ST. Croix TO remain the same as it is.
Notwithstanding the trade and commerce
That now, and usually have existed be-
tWeen-t the Sister IslandS-if so we can
call them-yet a very material difference
would be the result, TO what the inhabi-
tants Of this island have seen, and to
what they would see. Denmark cannot,
properly speaking, or if it may be termed
wrong, then, impertincntly on our part,
hold st. CrolX alone, without causing a
great detrlment to the planters, who are,
really so, the very life and soul OF bust
ness here; in short, Of every thing in this
community; consequently, to have St
Thomas and st. Johns separated from us,
would be a sure road made to encourage
the laborers TO migrate and thereby dcs-
troy all the prospects OF the planters.
The planters cannot, therefore look at
this measure with Indifference, and see
that, eventually, their ruin must stare
them in the face. Whether it be con
sidered %impoIitic or i%mprudent, on our
part, we have ventured to say something;
more words could, perhaps, be used but
then it would be considered improper,
so we, doubtless, must, on account of GER
tain reasons, withhold, from Offering any
further remarks and wishing every body
well, we hope that every one Will look
after himself.

GENTLEMEN,-The information of the
dreadful hurricane which in the end OF
October visited the Danish Colonies ST.
Thomas and st johns, and the sacrifice
of life and property which this calamity
has caused, could not otherwise than
cause the deepest sympathy in the Capital
of the Land, TO which these islands dur
ing 50 long a period have been connected.
When the Mother country had been
visited with sorrow and misfortune, the
inhabitants Of the Danish Wcstindia CO.
louics have always been ready to give
proof Of their sympathy and brotherly
feeling. The undersigned IN this city
have therefore formed a Committee to
collect for the sufferers in ST. Thomas
and st. Johns, and it affords us great sat
i>%taction to be able to send a small proof
of our debt Of gratitude to our fellow
citizens in the Colonies, and through the
firm of Mcssrs. SMIDT & LIE MARIE 10

been raised, as per annexed list, and we

EDITOR OF THE ARGUS. Sri notice
that the Union says John Lusk, bridge tend.
er at Rock River, received $l45 in tolls on
Saturday, which, at 20 cents q wagon, would
show that 72j teams crossed the bridges for
Rock Island on that day. 1t is no evidence
that he received this amount because the
onto" says so--nor will any man believe it
II he really did say so. Teams are required
to walk across the bridge, and any man will
find, By timing them, that it will resure
over 60 seconds, on the average, to walk a
team across the long bridge. Allowing one
minute to o team it would take exactly IL
hours tor 100 teams to cross. Multiply IL.
the number of hours, by so, the number Of
minutes in an hour, and you will see that it
would require over II hours for 725 teams
to cross. The story of the Union is SO rldi.

WopS FOR THE Fool KILLER.--The edi
tor of the Union is still swapping at the
registry board because his name is not to be
found on it, and saying that he voted last
spring and it ought to be copied from that
registry. We have once before tried to beat
the idea into his head that no registry is
made or required to be made for the town
ship elections that the only registry to
which this board can have access is the one
made in the fall, and that his abuse Of the
board was senselesS, silly and ridiculous
Ifhis name was there, why didn't the radical
member of the board (Holmquist) have it
copied into the new register3 Didn't he
know enough to do SOP Why does the
Union censure the two democratic members
and omit any Censure Of the republican
member? The Union has been urging
other people to go and get registered. Why
don't the editor follow his own advice, and
60 aud get registered, instead Of making
fool of himself about registry in the spring
which does not exist d?

neither Of which came to hand. Try again.
He also says he wishes we, in Illinois, could

RIVER MATTERs.-The competition be.

river trade between St. Paul and St. Louis
is mainly in passengers, both having as
much freight as they can carry. Both lines,
however, take passengers at unfxed and cut,
ting rates. There is some talk of an agree
ment which has been or is to be made be,
tween the two lines to advance the down
freight tariff from twenty-five to thirty cents
per hundred.

Port Byron tomorrow morning for st. Paul.
