KEwAUNEE.-The Enterprise reports
that man named Frank Tirner, while en-
gagged in edging timber in the mill of Slau-
son, Grimmer & Co., last Saturday allowed
his left hand to be caught by the saw,
which cut most OF it off and so mangled the
remaining portion that amputation above
the wrist became necessary.
W. d. Hitchcock & Co., are fast push
ing their new pier, in the town of Pierce, to
completion. 1t is nearly eight hundred feet
long and built of good material, and in the
most substantial manner. With good
weather, they expect to hare it completed

FLED. 1T is seldom that We have to record
more despicable and cowardly transac-
iion than that which the blockhesd Of the
Nord Westea was guilty oflast. week, in
circu.a ing villainous and lying attack on
the character and reputation Of EDWARD
CONWAY, by means Of . circular embodied
in and circulated through his paper, in the
German language, which, in the interest of
Messrs. STUcKE e. DwARzAK, charged Mr..
CONWAY with all manner of dishonofable
and disreputable dealing with the public,
over the signature Of one who purports to
call himself 8 G. Jos EPH RAUaLE."
The animus and purpose of this attack is
plainly seen 70 be in the interest Of unman
ly and characteAess competitors, who have
been, in good measure, driven off the
street by the honorable, upright and hon
est competition Of Mr.. CONWAY, who, in
the brief few months that he has been in
Mauitowoc, has put more money into the
pockets of Manitowoc farmers. by his COM
petition with these same sharks, than is
agreeable to the tastes, purposes and incli>
nations of these libelers.
A glance at the circular in question will
satisfy any person that the ignorant signer
knew not what he was putting his hand to,
and that he was simple tool IN the hands
Of Messrs. STUcKE & DwARzAK, for the
turtherance of their own nefarous pur-
poses. The public, we have no doubt,
from its former Knowledge of the character
of these same defamers, will put true
value upon thir guilty libel; and we hope
that MIR. CONWAY will have pluck enough
to teach the blatant ass, who made haste to
circulate the lying tale for guilty pay, that
the State courts and the United States
courts provide an adequate punishment for
such offences as CARL H. SCHMIDT has
been guilty of in this cowsrdly and covert
transaction.
Were Mr.. CONWAY the only person
sought to be affected by this infamous at
tack, VIC might pass it over in silence, at
tributing ScHMIDT's action in the matter
to that lack of sense which eharacterizes
his every word and act But the farmers,
lar and wide, ave heavy stake here. and
the blow is aimed at them more than at Mr..
CONWAY. For if STUcKE & DwARzAK,
with the aid of CARL Fl. SCHMIDT, suc>
coed in driving Mr.. CONWAY away from
here, then the same system of weights and
prices that ruled in Manitowoc before the
advent of Mr. CONWAY will be re-inaugu-
ra:ed, the farmers robbed and driven off to
another market, and the grain trade of
Manitowoc become, as it was before, = syn
onym OF all that is corrupt, thievish and
disreputable and the public, in every way,
will be the sufferers.

RELATIVE TO THE DEMOCRATIC NoMINA-
TIoN FOR PRESIDENT = In addition to the
active canvass now going on between the
friends of HANCOCK and PKNDLEroN, there
is more quiet movement in behalf Of Gen.
FRANK BLAIR, which has made much head
way. He is supported BY many Of the
most distinguished and influential leaders
Of the democracy Of Pennsylvania and New
York and tits reported that good deal
of strength has been secured for him in
New England. His active and ipveterate
hostility to African suffrage will, it is
claimed, make him very acceptable to the
southern delegates. His name will be fori
mally presented by the Missouri delegation,
and his friends contend that.all bis ante
cedents make him the most available can
didate that can be put upon the course
Black, Hancock and Pendlcton will be the
three prominent candidates for the New
York convention. There is talk of Gen.
Wright, of California; Mr. Justice Davis.
of Illinois; Judge Field and Horatio Sey-
mour, of New York. and others, including
even Judge Chase but it is not belived that
there is any general organization at work
for any of these candidates, except the first
named. There is very little struggle among
conservatives for the Vice Presidency, the
choice being sequence to the Presidential
nomination, which is wholly uncertain.

Nature and the seasons seem to favor the
Pacific Railroad. The working season has
been so far prolonged that is estimated that
by the end OF the current month there will
not be over 300 miles of the through line re-
naming incomplete; and of that distance a
good part OF the grading will be done. The
great question OF fuel seems also to be salts
tactoriy settled. Rich beds of coal have
been discovered on the head-waters of the
Humboldt River, and on the slopes OF the
Wasatch Mountains where the eastern and
western links OF the road unite. Next sum-
mer will undoubtedly witness the binding of
the Atlantic and Pacific waters by continu-
Gus line OF railroad $500 miles in length.
BY tie advertisement of the financial
agents OF the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany in another column, it appears that
great success has attended their negotiations
Of the First Mortgage Bonds, issued under
the authority of Congress. The important aid
granted by the nation, together with excel
lent credit, enables this Company to push on
the work with undiminished vigor. Fifteen
thousand men and three thousand teams are
engaged on the line. Three hundred miles
OF iron have been laid since the Goth of June
last; or at an average rate oftwo and one hall
miles per working day. From Salt Lake to
the Pacific Ocean the line rises once only in
crossing the Sierra Nevada range,) to the al
titude of heavy SHOWS. Over this stretch OF
about thirty miles, substantial sheds have
been built which will enable the line to be
worked at all seasons, in spite of drifting

the line is-already greater than the present
