THE CONCERT.

On Saturday evening next the Musical
Society Of the North side will give their
first concert at the Methodist Church.
1t may not be out of place to give. just
here, a br;et history of the Society. It
was organized in November last. Its
meetings for a short time were
held in the Presbyterian church, but
finding this ihconvenient they moved to
the upper room of the First District
School House. 1t commenced with about
twenty members, but steadily increased
to forty, mostly of the younger class of
the community, though what singers of
experience in difficult music we had, took
hold theoretically and helped on the
cause, which all will acknowledge is one
Of great importance to the welfare of the
community. Mr.. Brainard, the conduct
or, is tenor with voice Of surprising
richness, compass and culture. He has
had the instruction of Geo. E. Root,
Bradbury, E. M. Foote, Taylor and other
prominent leaders. He has good control
of his chorus, which good judges assert
has made excellent progress since last fall.
The rehearsal of the caDtata of Esther,
the Beautiful Queen was commenced, but
from lack of male voices, it was impos-
sibe to produce it in full, though SON
portions Of it will be given. The concert
will embrace solos, glees, choruses &c
We hope there will be large turn out to
hear and encourage our home talent.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democracy assembled at the Court
House last Saturday in full force for the
purpose Of nominating candidate for
County Judge. That, at least, was the
avowed object, but there were many
who openly charged that the purpose
was to see who had the most money and
could buy the most delegates. So far as
one candidate is concerned we believe
this statement to have been correct, for
we believe delegates pledged to vote for
Judge Barker sold themselves to other
parties. The Convention was called to
order, and Captain Joseph Rankin was
called to the chair. And right here let
US state that this convention was more
ably conducted than any democratic con-
vention we ever attended in this place.
True, the elements Of discord were present
and were constantly moving for recess
of fifteen minutes, in order that they
might get little fusil oil to grease tie
wheels of action, but Joe. couldn't see
it," and every time he would sing out,
1.-THE noes have it. 1t was regular
setback to those who hang around con
ventions for the sake of free liquor, and
their number was legion on this occasion.
1t was surprising to see how bold they
were, too. They crowded their way
among the delegates and each time when
the motion was put they would sing cut
at the top Of their voices "aye!" With
some men for chairman this would have
been allowed to count, but Mr.. Rankin
very quietly informed the whisky suckers
that.when they fell back and he could get
an expression from the convention he
would again put the question. The more
modest of them at once complied, and the
nays had it, but in few minutes the
same trick was tried again, and this time
the chair boldly called names, and with
deep imprecations on such a chairman
the guzzlers, crest-falen, retired leaving
the convention to finish its work IN
quiet, orderly manner; something we
never before witnessed in Manitowoc.
The action Of the convention was not
at all surprising, for it has been reported
for some time past that the Ring had
promised the nomination to Henry Sibree
in return for the abandonment of his
principles He has been a Republican
for many years-professedly one OF the
most radical-but last fall the offer of the
Ring was greedily accepted and he at
least voted and worked for the local
democratic ticket Well, the Ring was
successful and he was nominated, though,
it is reported, not without the purchase
Of votes at heavy expense. Now we
shall see if the nomination is equivalent
to an election. The people have not so
soon forgotten the Poor Commissioners
nor haye they forgotten that when men
of all parties condemned their action.
Henry Sibree wrote-or at least had the
credit of writing-a long defense of one
of the accused. The voters of Mantle
voc County who pay taxes, and they are
largely in the majority, will not want one
Of that Ring that has squandered the
public money and plunged the county
deeply IN debt. placed in the responsible
position of County Judge.

Town Caucus.

There was Manitowoc Town Caucus

THE FENIAN LECTURE,

The talented and popular Major Mac
Williams, organizer of Fenian circles
spoke to large audience at the Court
House in this place last Friday evening.
His speech was very we'll received, and
created great enthusiasm in the ranks of
our Irish citizens. In fact we heard seY-
eral remark that they never listened to
better speech in Manitowoc The Major
has pleasing address, is young and fine
looking, and added to this he is one of
the most earnest takers we have met IN
many day. He has organized So circles
in the State and in Manitowoc County.
He has been here only short time but
is creating quite stir. He organized a
circle Immediately after the Lecture,
which embraces some of our II ost promi-
nent Irish citizens.

We call attention to chapter 1872,
General Laws, passed the last Legislature,
entitled "A1 Act to establish township
system of School Government" which
will be found in our supple ment to-day.
Section 81 of said law provides as follows:
Section 81. The legal voters of any
town In this state may, at any town meet
ing or spring election or at any fall cleo
ton, vote upon the question of town
ship school government. Such voting
shall be by ballot, and the ballots used
shall have written or printed thereon the
words township school government
yes or the words, township school
goyernment-no." A separate box shall
be provided for the reception of said bal
lots, and record thereof made as in the
case of other votes cast at such elections;
and if it shall appear that majority of
the ballots cast have written thereon the
words, township school government
yes. then the provisions Of this act shall
Immediately become operative in such
town: OF herwise they shall have no force
or effect therein.
From the above it will be seen that the
different towns in the county can vote on
the question at the approaching spring
election, and decide whether to return to
the town system of School government
or not

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY
We learn that as Mr. Peter Hanson who
lives in New DEM. ark, Brown county,
while returning from this place last week
was suddenly stopped when near home
by two men, one of whom caught his
horse by the bits and the other struck at
him with q large knife. cutting the col
lar of from his overeoat and barely mis-.
sing his heart. At this he struck the
horse with his whip which being quick
threw the man down that held
him and dashed away at full speed. Bat
one of the seoundrels drew pistol and
fired at him, the shot passing through
his clothes and just grazing his side. 1t
was a narrow escape and Mr.. Hanson
may well feel thankful. He had been
down here to bid on our Poor Farm.

PERSONAL. During our Southern trip
we unexpectedly met Judge Geo. L. Lee,
former resident of this village. His
many friends in this locality will be pleas
ed to learn that he is doing first rate and
looks well. He now holds the response
bic position of Assistant Post Master of
Savannah Ga, in fact the whole manage
ment of the Office is under his charge, as
the Post Master is absent large portion
Of the time. The Judge may take trip
North during the summer, and if he does,
will no doubt pay visit to his old friends
and acquaintance.

We learn that there is great dissatis-
faction in the Democratic party in regard
to the Democratic nomination for County
Judge. The leaders among the Germans
look upon the matter as not an expression
of the people in any sense of the word,
but the result Of bribery and political in
decency. They say, too, that they prefer
to vote for a republican who has the man.
illness to openly proclaim himself such,
than to vote for one who for the sake of
office will cell himself democrat.

Among the large number of hotels
that we had occasion to stop at during
our trip south, the Marshal House, Sa-
vannah is by far the best Mr.. j. NJ.
Ward, the clerk of the house, is the right
man in the right place, and has but few
equals. The momenta stranger steps in
the house, he feels that his wants will re-
ceive every attention. Nothing is left
undone thatwillmake him feel at home
Besides paying all the attention to their
guests that they can possibly expect to
receive, the charges are very reasonable,
being only $500 per day. No first class
hotel in Savannah is kept better than this
same Marshal House, though some charge
considerable more We advise GU,
friends, whenever they go to Savannah
to step at the Marshal House.

The LETTER OF MR.. MALLOY.
The "RIng" Badly Sold!

luC Aiis8 Dduly SOlQ
In another column will be found com.
municatlon from resident of Liberty, in
this county. We are informed that he is
taxpayer-has considerable property
and is eminently qualified to back his as
sertions.
And what does he assert? Simply
that the agent of Henry Sibree, the can
didate for the responsible position of
County Judge, tried to bride him to work
for the said Sibree, orat least not to work
against him. And who was that Agent
One OF the most notorious Of the Poor
Commissioners. One who it is claimed
defrauded the people GU. of large sums
of money in the name Of the Poor =
Michael Mahoney
Taxpayers of Manitowoc, do you want
your taxes doubled, over and over again
If so, keep this Ring. of which Mahoney
proves to be a member, in power
Rest assured if that class of men are to
control our public affairs we shall only go
on from bad to worse till no man will in
vest capital here and real estate will not
be worth the taxes its owners are called
upon to pay.
LATER.-Since the above was in type
we have been waited upon by another
prominent Democrat who furnishes us
with another communication from Mr..
Malloy. which will be found in its proper
place. (Mr. w OGDEN will please accept
our thanks for his effort to furnish US with
readable local matter; we understand he
obtained it only by severe labor.} There
is considerable we feel constrained to add
to the first communication, which Mr..
Malloy authorized us to state, in addition
to what he signed. As near as we can
remember he said: II am Democrat
"a member OF the Democratic county
Committee. I have been treasurer of
"our town two years, but I don't like
"the way our leaders are going on
Our taxes are too large, bad men get
into office and property holders have to
"suffer. [ want you to publish an article
for me, will sign it, and I want you
ito put it in good shape, as you can
write better than I can. will send you
"a letter in few days and I want you
Ito putt in good shape. [ will give it
''to these fellows. I am not ''Tweezers"
"but what l write I will sign. We must
"have different men in office.
This was in the afternoon, but in the
evening Mr.. NJ. returned and gave us
several interrogations which he wished us
to publish. The following is aspecimen:
"Mr. Mahoney, allow me to ask if
the clothes with which you sought to
purchase land probably did for all l know
the nomination of Henry Sibree were a
part of the $4,000 poor fund charged to
the county last ycar?''
With this we leave the subject, merely
stating that previous to the visit of Mr.
NJ. to our Office on Monday last we had
no acquaintance with him. He came in
and said he had an important matter he
wished to have US publish, which being
reduced to writing he freely signed
What influences were brought to bear to
makehimsign the second article, we don t
knowbut zee do knot0 the second article
does not conflict with the first, for. on ex-
animation it will be seen that he does not
claim Mahoney tried TO buy his cote but
wanted him to keep his mouth shut.
Malloy is ''leetle" too smart for them.
