Railroad Bonds must be Paid.
From the Dodgeville Chronicle.

For ten or twelve years this eoun-
ty has been in litigation trying to get
out of paying the bonds issued to aid
in the construction of the Mineral
Point Railroad some fifteen years
ago. Thousands and thousands OF
dollars have been paid lawyers for
defending the county in these suits
The climax has at last been reached
in the parallel case of the town OF
Beloit the matter has been carried
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, where all the points in the
controversy have been decided
against the town, and in favor of the
bond holders 1t has been decided
I. That the bonds are valid
H. That the bondhoIders are entitled Il

was app led for in the court below on the
ground that there were no legal Supervisors tC
serve the writ upon, az two of them resigned
each year on the day of their election TO avoi(
| service OF MANDAMUs.
There is one more suit against the
town OF Beloit which involves the
question whether private property
may be levied upon for debts o
municipal corporations. Upon this
point the court ordered & re argL
ment at the next term. AS there
can be, in law, no wrong without 8
remedy, way must be found to en-
force payment, and the Supreme
Court has recently decided, in one o
the Iowa cases, that the Circui
Court of the United States may
direct the marshal to levy the tax, i
the Supervisors or other local al
thorities neglect to do SO.

County Judicial Election.

The election for a County Judge
went off without calamity or disor>
der. Four candidates were announ-
ced, McGonigal, Banding, Merrick
anu Eastman, all independents and
without the Endorsement Of any con-
vention. No party issue was mado
by general agreement, Eastman how
ever claiming support upon the
ground Of his democracy but without
success. Merrick made no personal
efforts, and failed to distribute tickets
with his name. His vote therefore
is no indication as to his popularity
and strength. McGonigal ard Bland
ing were the real candidates, and
both remarkably popular. 1t was
generally believed previous to elcc-
ton that Banding would be elected
and certainly his chances Of winning
were best as now appears until East
man came out, causing many Of the
republicans to unite on McGonigal to
prevent a possible election of East
man. But the latter had not the con-
fidence Of his party in matters OF
ability and moral rectitude and they
could not unite upon him. They ac,
cordingly voted generally for Bland
ing as was at first understood they
designed doing. No material objec-
tions were urged against either of the
leading candidates, and it was mainly
canvass of the popularity Of the
two. Perhaps a majority OF the old
and more substantial citizens sup.
ported Mct1ohigal because he had
been we'll tried in the place and found
in all respects right. But doubtless
had the canvass been made np as q
test of strength between the two.
Banding would have been the victor.
The newspapers Of the county
properly took no part and were un-
derstood 10 be neutral as to any
choice.
The result is not without It's lesson:
In county of such political prepon-
derance, caucuses and conventions
are indispensable as rule for pre-
senting candidates That defeat Of
solne good man, with disasters TO the
public, only faile0 to follow the regc
lect 10 hold conventions, vas only
accidental and owing to the fact that
plans for such defeat were not we'll
laid The lesson further shows that
the public interests are far safer when
conventions are held to agree upon
regular candidates than by leaving
a dozen gaps open for as many can
didates to offer and split parties and
men into factions. But IN Justice to
the County Central Committee we
state as fact that they failed to
agree on calling a county convention
and besides there seemed to be no
favor for the like among our leading
men. However, neither the commits
tee nor citizens would again be will
ing to risk such neglect-seeing the
narrow escape.

Connecticut.

Complete returns of the Connecti-
cut election give 81 majority for
Marshall Jewell, for governor, on the
Republican ticket, and about 40 Re-
publican majority in the Legislature.
In the first district James Dixon is
beaten, and Julius l.. Strong, Rep~b
lican, of Hartford, elected TO Con-
gress by 764 majority. In the second
district James F Babcock is beaten,
and Stephen W. Lellogg, Republican,
of Waterbury, is elected by 1923 ma
jority. The majority for Henry III
Starkweather, Republican, of Nor
wich. in the reliable third district, is
1884. The fourth district alone
elects a Democrat, giving about zoe
majority for William Ii. Barnum the
present representative, whose Re-
publican opponent was Sidney b
Beardsley, of Bridgeport The de-
feat of Babcock must be particularly

At the close of the unexpired term
of Judge McGonigalas County Judge,
In December of this year, he will have
served twelve years in the Office
The now term Of four years to which
he has just been elected is to begin
the first January 1870. His reoelec-
ton for a fourth term is higher COM
pliment than was ever paid any one
in the county, if we take into account
the length Of time, sixteen years of
judicial service. Next preceding his
first election as Judge he served four
years as Sheriff and Register OF
Deeds. But with all such official
patronage, Judge McGonigal though
q close economist, has failed to save
any fortune-perhaps not SO much
as $1,000 above debts. The offices
of Sheriff and Register which he held
many years ago afforded fair income
above family expenses, but old debts
consumed all the surplus and he came
out but even. His income as County
Judge, five to six hundred dollars
per year, has atfored but scant fami>
ly support. The small surplus above
noted came from the rise upon some
land property which he lately owned
and for which he was indebted for
the purchase money. These facts,
however personal, we know he has
no desire to conceal from the public
nor pride in the Withholding from his
many endeared friends.
Judge McGonigal possesses, it must
be inferred, but a small share selfish
ness, otherwise he must long since
have resigned Lis office and taken to
any more profitable business in view
of making for himself and family an
average fortune with other men,
But he has held 10 the office
rather as a duty to estate interests
Besides, be is known to feel q deep
pride in the trust OF managing estates
OF the dead trust for which there
are bnt few 10 be found having that
rare qualification, innate honesty -
A thousand opportunities have offe :
ed, yet he has perhaps never wrong
ed an estate - the amount of doll
lar, though he might have taken
freely when no man knoweth nor
any one suspect the like.
During the fourth term of Judge
NcGomigal be is 10 receive such
salary Us the County Supervisors
may ordain; anl on behalf the pub
lie and public justice it is hoped he
will be saiaried equally with theClerk
and Treasurer. He should be put
on equality with the farmer and

be equally paid as average men OF
other pursuits

pay-The New York Sun says of Mr.

e0 The New York Sun says OF Mr..
Greeley's apparent somnolence
"Mr Greeley's sleep is one of his
remarkable peculiarities. 1t is really
an attitude of profound attention.
There is a tradition in the Tribune
office that some twenty. five years
ago, he attended lecture delivered
by Bishop Huges, afterward Arch
bishop of his diocese. He occupied o
seat on the platform. When the
Bishop began to speak, Mr.. Greeley
closed his eyes and began to nod
His head dropped on his breast, and
in ten minutes his placid but not in
audible breathing formed monoton
Gus accompaniment to the polished
and brilliant sentences of the Bishop,
At the conclusion of the lecture Mr.
Greeley returned to the Tribune Of
fee, and at midnight learned that
the reporter detailed to attend the
meeting had failed to appear. There
upon Mr.. Greeley went to his desk
and wrote out a two>column report
ofthe lecture, even reproducing many
of the Bishops exact sentences. The
editor of the Tribune, it is said, has
frequently written out FIRST class
reports of DR.. Chapin's eloquent SER
mons, though apparently in sound
sleep during their delivery. The
case is one of unusual psychological
and physiological interest. We new
er heard of any other instance in
which the mental powers are so wide
awake while the outward appearance
was one of such profound somno
lence."
