Roads The Cost Of Bad Roads-A Plank
Road from Boscobel to Fennimore.

Bad roads in this country subject
the people to enormous taxes for re-
pairs of wagons, doctoring horses, and
other mishaps, not to mention the
fact that teams go md come with on
Iy half loads on account of bad roads.
Going to or returning from Boscobel
one usually meets twenty to fifty
teams, and the meetings are often at
places where the roads are too narrow
for wagons to pass without locking
wheels or passing without the line of
safety. The market public especial
ly are now paying dearly for horses
and wagons, for delays and damages,
for light loads and lost time on ac-
count of the steep hills and bad roads
upon the Crooked Greek route to
BoSeobel. We should say that every
loaded team could afford to paw at
least one-third of what is usually
earned for road upon which double
the usual load could be drawn. Saw
that teaming is worth $500 per day
upon roads as they now are. Who
would not pay one dollar toll tor go~
ing to and from Boscobel upon such
roads as double loads could re- drawn.
and no liability to accidents
Only 90 cents for each team J. ss-
ing both ways upon this route VIC aid
raise at least $4,000 year, we
should. rather judge s25, 1000 But the
smaller sum named would richly re,
ward a stock company for grading
and planking twelve miles, or say all
the way between Boscobel and Fen
nimore.
Say the expense would be $4,000 to
IS, 900 per mile. Even at such cost q
road must worry largely pay the stock
holders, more especially as within the
coming decade the transit business
must double the present amount.
And, in view of holding in unyield
ing grasp the present trade of Bosco
bel, the business interests of that
town must surely feel willing to aid
On enterprise of this kind.

To Our Foreign born Fellow Citizens.

We desire to call attention TO a de-
cision of our Supreme Court recent
ly made, wherein the Court holds to
the following legal conclusions.
First The Clerk Of the Circuit
Court in the discharge Of his
official duties must keep his office
and the seal thereof at the County
seat and that he can only appoint
one regular Deputy and that he
hassno authority to appoint any 9th
er Deputies than the one Regular
deputy above named and that the
appointment OF special Deputies in
different parts of the County, for
the convenience of localities, has
been made without authority of Law
and consequently, the acts and do
ings.of all such special Deputies are
void in Law.
The above questions arose in q
case to test the right Of party to
hold Office, it being claimed that cer>
tain persons of foreign birth bad no
right tosvote because their First Pa
perS, known as +" Declaration of In
tention to become Citizens of the U.
S., had been made before a special
Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court
and the Court holds that all such
persons had cast illegal votes, and
that all such First papers were void
in Law unless the persons SO mak>
ing their Declaration Of Intentions,
had obtained their " Last papers,"
and become fall citizens.
The court does not decide whether
the Regular Deputy clerk can make
out =" First papers or not.
We advise all of our adopted fell
low citizens to examine their Decla-
ration papers at once, and if there
are any, (and we presume there are
many such,) who have executed
their first papers before any person
other than the regularly elected
clerk of the Court, unless thee have
become fill CitiEenS, their first pa
pers are Of no account, and should be
corrected, either by making Decla-
ration anew, or taking full papers in
open Court under the present Law.
Court will convene Sept l4th inst.
i. G., next Monday, and will be in SEES
sion two weeks, and that will be the
time TO have matters made right.

r@A-''The Earnest Man" Doolittle,
addressed the Democracy of La Crosse
on Wednesday. The Republican. OF
that city, prepared the way for him
by publishing, on the evening prev,
ious, some pungent extracts from his
former speeches. Among other
things it give a speech made by him
in the Senate in 1864, in which he ex>
pressed his belief that "a help was "a
military necessity" for the proper
punishment of traitors, and Blessed
God that he believed in such an ms,
titution. Here is an extract from
his speech:
repeat, can never have any
sympathy for the men who have
knowingly, wilfully led the people
into this rebellion. No punishment
can be too great to be measured out
to them for their crimes; and some
times in my heart l bless God that
can believe that there is a tribunal,
before which, if they do not receive
their just deserts on earth they will
be called to render an account where
fraud and perjury will be of no avail,
and where they must answer for
their crimes.

FROM KENTUCKY.
Violent Resistance to the Execution of
Laws.
Washington, September 3.

Washington, September 3.
Information was received here to-
day, by officials, of serious demons
tration against the execution of the
laws Of the United States in the
counties of Larne, Nelson and Mar.
ion, in that State. In attempting to
execute a process Of the United
States Courts in certain revenue
cases, the United States Marsha,
and his deputy were set upon by six
armed men, captured, taken to a
mill, where there were twenty-five
other med men, robbed, and their
papers taken from them. They were
threatened with death to themselves
or any persons who should hence
forth attempt TO execute 3 United
States process in that neigh borhood,
and were then dispatched under
guard to the nearest railroad depot.
The subject of this outrage is under
the consideration of the Attorney
General and Secretary OF War.

Third Dist. Congressional Convention
at Boscobel-G Amasa Cobb Nom
mated.

The minutee.and resolutions of the
Boscobel Convention, at which Gen.
Cobb was nominated for reelection
to Congress, are fully printed in the
Herald
The Convention was full, there be-
ing AZ delegates, "a of which were
cast for Cobb Ind s for Allen Warden.
Lafayette gave 5 votes for Warden
and Crawford 3, the other five coun-
ties being unanimous for Cobb, the
result being declared Cobb was unan-
imousy nominated A free and..open
conversation between Cobb and
those who dissented upon financial
issses satisfied the parties that there
is no difference worth the consider
alton Those who opposed nemina-
ting Cobb are acting with great cred>
it to themselves by unanimously in
dorsing him for reelection. Cobb
is an honest man." they say, land
that is point of unlimited magni-
tude." At the close of Convention
we hardly knew which TO admire
the more-Cobb for his nobleness of
conduct in every step Of the Canvass,
or his republican antagonists tor fl
nally exhibiting even greater enthu-
siasm for him than those who had
desired a change.
The people of the whole country,
even the democratic masses, will
yield hearty responses to Cobb's
nomination and hope for his election.
He is no doubtful man and if the
worst comes through the election of
Seymour and Blair, and bit of war
to set "the Lost cause on its legs
again, Gen Cobb will be as ever
the man for the crisis.

Nor FORTUNE, AFTER ALL.-The
bottom has fallen out of the high
hopes of enormous fortune entertain
ed for while by the Johns family.
The Elmwood (Ill.) Chronicle says:
DR.. J. J. Lobaugh has handed us
the report of the agent sent to Eu>
rope by the Johns heirs to investi>
gate the matter of the Johns estate
in England ana Wales. After a
thorough search among the rusty re.
cords of the East India Company,
the Court of Chancery, Doctors
Commons and Registry of Wills, as
sisted by able counsel, Mr.. Deniston,
the agent, reports that there is no
foundation even in tradition for the
statement that such an estate every
existed. The whole matter was a
fabrication and fraud, gotten up by
unprincipled men in order 20 make
money out of the family in America,
by getting themselves employed as
couns ell in the matter The Hon. G.
III Fisher, of London, recommended
by the Hon. G. r. Adams, also max es
a report, in which he says that par
ties in America are carrying on the
same sort CT swindle in the matter Of
the Brown estate, in order to draw
money from that multitudinous fam
ily.

The Drunkards's Cure.

Some months ago, says an eN,
change, gentleman advertised that
he had discovered u sure specific for
the cure of drunkness. He would
not divulge the secret OF what cons
pounds be used, but furnished the
medicine at so much per bottle. lie
did not have so many applicants for
his cure "a be expected. considering
the extent of the disease. In fact,
the more malignant cases did not
seem anxious for relief. They rath.
er appeared to enjoy the malady. A
few however, placed themselves UNI
der treatment, and some were cured
whether by taking the medicine or
by not taking strong drinks we are
not prepared to say. One Of the
cured ones had faith in the medicine,
rigidly carried out the directions of
the doctor, and now has not the
least taste for intoxicating drinks /;
whereas, one year ago he WAS an
inebriate, and could not get along
with less than pint to quart of
whiskey per day.
He said that, at some trouble and
expense, he had procured the receipt
for the preparation of the medicine,
| which he had published for the bene-
fit of suffering humanity. 1t is as
follows: Sulpbat ofiron, five grains
peppermint water, eleven drachms ;
spirit of nutmeg, one drachm, twice
a day This preparation acts as a
tonic and stimulant and SO partially
supplies the place OF the accustomed
liquor, and prevents that absolute
physical pros.ration that follows a
sudden breaking off from the use OF
stimulating drinks. Tits to be TAX
en- in quantities equal to an ordinary
dram and as often as the desire for 9
dram returns. Any druggist can
prepare the prescription.
1t 10 said this preparation will soon
remove all longing for Intoxicating
drinks. Try it, you who honestly
wish to break away from a habit
which is hurrying You to drunk

Madison. Wis Sentemhe :

The American House, an old frame
hotel, built thirty years ago, and
owned by n. w. Dean, was consumed
by fire last night, together with the
millinery store of Miss l.. A. Scott,
adjoining. The furniture and con-
tents were nearly all saved. What
was destroyed was fully covered by
insurance. The building was valued
at six thousand dollars, and was ln-
sured in the Etna of Hartford for
three thousand dollars. 1t IS the OPP
lnion of many that the fire was the
work of an incendiary.

HAVE THEY CHANGED ?-We turn
to Webster's Quarto Dictionary, and
find the following definition:
DEMOCRAT, n. One who adheres to
a government to the people, or ia
vors the extension of the right of
suffrage to all classes Of men.
Originally the democratic party
favored free suffrage for all men,
and actually carried il out in any
State where they were in power-as
in South Carolina, Tennessee, Penn
sylvania and some other States-the
Federal party opposing the like.
But the democratic party long since
turned its coat and opposed its own
doctrine. At this time no democrat
is a democrat according to the mean.
ing of the word and according to
the old principles of the party.

WHAT A CONNECTICUT WHOEVER
DID.-A Connecticut widower ad>
vertised for housekeeper, and re-
ceived reply from woman in
Hartford, arrangements were made
for an interview at the depot in
Willimantic. On meeting her there
she proposed to become his house
keeper on condition that she also be-
came bis wife The condition was
accepted and carried into immediate
effect. Their married life ran
smoothly until abouta fort might ago
when the husband came home intox-
icated and attempted to chastise his
wife. She rebelled, however, and he
attempted to intimidato her with
six shooter. Being q powerful wo~
man, she gained possession Of the
weapon, stripped him of his clothing,
gave him o sound thrashing, and
then, presenting the revolver in her
turn, drove him to bed. The same
night she packed up her clothes, took
all the money he had, put her trunk
on q wheel-barrow, and departed for
Hartford. Her husband, ascertain
ing her whereabouts, started in
search of her, found his errand fruit,
less, and swallowed dose ofstrych-
nine. The stomach pump restored
him to health and happiness, and all
is now as merry as marriage bell.
