TERN ENDED.-The brief term OF
Governor Farnsworth closes to day.
The period since his accession to the
GubernatorinI chair has been SO short
that no opportunity has been afforded
him to display in any considerable de-
gree the qualities of true craftsmanship
which he 80 largely possesses. In an
other sphere ho has demonstrated his
abilities in that particular; and in his
present position, although occupying it
FOR week only, he has shown that he
is equal to every emergency in the adj
mtnislration OF the ordinary affairs OF
State

CALIsAYA BARK.-It is said that
Messrs. Drake & Co., (proprietors OF the
PLANTATION BITTERs) are the largest
importers OF Calisaya Bark in this coun-
try, and that, with the exception OF an
occasional sale, all they import is used
in the compromising OF their celebrated
PLANTATION BITTERs,-to which they
undoubtedly are indebted for their
wonderful misunderstanding properties.

FALSE ALARM.-Last night about
nine O'Clock there was an alarm of fire,
and the steam fire engines were quick
IL in motion. After an effort of hall
an hour or more to find the fire they
were returned 10 their stations and the
excitement subsidized. The alarm proved
10 be false one, so far as we could
learn. We heard it intimated that il
was probably raised to see how expedi.
tiously the new engines could be
brought out by the novices in charge OF
them. We hope the exhibition OF dex-
terity was. satisfactory, if that was the
design of those originating the alarm.

INAUGURATIoN.-TO. day, Hon. w. E.
Stevenson, Governor elect, assumes the
duties of Chief Magistrate of this State.
We do not know whether any public
demonstration will be made on the oc-
casiOn, but we presume some more for
mality will be observed than hereto
fore, from the fact that the Legislature
viii be in Session-the first instance of
such coincidence since the formation
of the State. Governor Stevenson made
a splendid record while doing the State
service i'll the Senate, and we predict
that his gubernatorial career will be
equally brilliant. It is not our province
to mark out line Of policy to be pur'
sued by the Executive, but we are con-
fident that Governor Stevenson's ad.
ministration will be characterized by
moderation. frnness and constant
effort TO promote the interests OF the
whole people. We congratulate His
Excellency on his accession to the high
est position in the GIT of brave and
hardy constit uency.

DE-. UvINGsroNE's SAFETY AND EXPLORATIONS.
DR.. Livingstone is not only safe, but, accord
ing to a letter Just received by DR.. Kirk, at
Bombay, he has discovered the object OF his
arduous explorations. The commit ication was
dated Benglewo, July Sth, 1868, and runs as
fellows: az have found what l believe to be
the source of the Nile, between 100 and I20
SOUTH" More recent news by caravan announces
the arrival Of the veteran geographer at Mlyl,
and as the road from MIyi to the coast is sale,
there is good prospect of DR.. Livingstones speedy
return to the abodes of civilized men and the
society of his friends. Surprising the report to
be correct, we may now assume that the enigma
of geographical and physical science has been
solved. The ardor with which explorers have
fought with the manifold difficulties which beset
the solution of this problem is easily accounted
for. The existence of a mystery so peryerseiy
profound was in itself quite sufficient to call
forth the utmost zeal and determination among
our sapons. Whether or not the prize may De
worth all the toll and danger which have been
encountered in its pursuit remains to be seen.
The exploration of Central Africa can scarcely
bring about any immediate practical result. In
process of time, doubtless. the country may De
laid under tribute to the universal cause OF CIVIL
cation at present, however. it is only a lew de-
grees less impracticable than the Arctic REGION
that voracious abyss which has swallowed up SO
many of our best and bravest explorers.-Londom

A Sensible View.

We quote the following from an ar
ticle on railroads in the Milwaukee
NetpS. 1t is sensibly written, and
applies as appropriately to this part
of the State as to Milwaukee and that
portion tributary to it:
Gas to the matter of donations to
railroad companies, by way of aid in
the construction or extension of lines,
we apprehend that the donors genere
ally receive fair equivalent for their
money. Municipal corporations and
private individuals in this State, in
time past, have run largely in debt
for the purpose of securing the con-
struction of the lines we have. But
there is scarcely mile of railroad in
the State which has not paid this
debt ten fold in the increased value
it has impaired to the property along
its line. AT least the towns and cit
les are few and far between from
which their railroad facilities could
now be purchased at any price.
And to-day the property owners in
the undeveloped portions of the State
could not invest more safely for them
selves than by prudent liberality
in the encouragement OF railroad ex-
tension. In many instances, lines
which could and would be built for q
few thousand dollars, would be worth
millions to the population concerned,
and perhaps comparatively nothing
to the companies owning the roads
The true policy of Wisconsin is to
give constant and unceasing encour,
agement to increased facilities for
transportation, both by railroad and
water. Under present circumstan-
ces, this, and this only, is the safe and
sure road to cheap freights and the
full development Of the natural
wealth of the State. In sections
where the largest sum have been
paid for railroads, ano where the
most railroads have been built, there,
as q rule, frieghts are the cheapest.
The time has passed in the United
States when monopoly and extortion
can otherwise be successfully COM
bated. If Legislatures in these days
were more intelligent or less corrupt,
the people might hope for more pos
tive, efficient and equitable legisla-
ton on all subjects-but we must
deal with facts as they are, and not
as they ought to be"

Bond Reputation.

Dubuque, in 1857, issued a large
amount in bonds to aid in the con-
struction of the Dubuque Western
Railway. These bonds found mar
ket among rich and poor. The Su-
preme Court Of Iowa had since
strengthened the soundness Of these
bonds by seven different decisions in
their favor-that is, had decided that
men shall stand by their contracts.-
But since these seven decisions af-
firming the validity of these bonds,
and also the U. S. Circuit Court hav.
ing by mandamus ordered payment
to be made, Judge Beck of that State
has decided that said writs of man
damus shall not be issued ,as the bonds
are illegal. This is rank reputation
of honest debts-nothing short.
Touching this question, we notice
that a meeting was held the other
day at Dodgeville, Iowa County, at
which it was resolved to oppose the
action of the County Board of that
County, and go in for square set
tlement and payment of the bond
holders of Iowa County. This is
sensible and right certainly the
true interest of the people of Iowa
County. We publish the adopted
resolutions of the meeting, as copied
from the Dodgeville Cbronicle:
WHEREAS, The County Board Of Super
visors of the County of Iowa have published
4 "a ~ h. sc h. u
| contemplates further resistance to the enforce
| ment of the judgments obtained in the courts
of the United States, and have made no ar
| engagements, nor performed any official duty
which looks to an arrangement, compromise
or liqidation of the bonded railroad indebted
ness of said County, which constitutes valid
lien against said County, and is an encum-
brance upon all the property thereof. seriously
| affecting its market value, inluring the business
interests of its inhabitants, and tending in its
| results to cause the removal of capital and
and enterprise from the County, and there be-
ing no hope OF finally frustrating the enforce
ment of said Judgments against the property
of the County, therefore be it
RESOLVED, First; That the validity of the
county indie btedness having been established
by the Supreme Court of the United States,
any action of the official authorities Of the
County, to obstruct the collection of these
debts, by non-perfomance of official duty OF
otherwise, meets our condemnation, as being
against the best interests of the County.
Second That in our opinion it is the duty
of the County to yield obedience to the iudg-
| ments of the highest courts of the land, and
that the interests of the people will be best
promoted by an early compromise of the
county railroad Indebtedness, upon the equit-
| able terms based upon the extension of the
Mineral Point Railroad through the county.
Third That the Board of County Super
visors be Immediately requestedto correspond
without delay with the holders of the railroad
Indebtedness of the county, with a view tc
ascertain upon what terms compromise Of
such Indebtedness, can be made and that after
obtaining satisfactory information, they be re-
quested to call general meeting of the citi-
liens of the county to take action thereon.

Galena Business.

Brown, of the old Galena Gazette
and Advertiser, successor to father
Houghton, is editing one of the
liveliest papers in the North>W Vest
There is greater display of industry
in preparing local items shown in his
paper than in any of the several city
papers with which we exchange
From the Advertiser of June 10, we
learn as follows
Galena was to have n great Ger
man Sangerfest on the 18th, 18th and
10Th June. The fire companies and
Odd Fellows were to parade on the
occasion.
Brick Pomeroy had visited Galena
and had written for his paper any
amount of lies about the city.
The Gdlena Horticultural Society
met June 5. The discussion on bark
lice was important, and is to be pub
lished. Diluted potash used as a
wash has proved successful means
Of killing these pests.
Mayor Brands inaugural address
recommends as follows:
"Our Railroad interest will soon
demand action on your part, and all
facilities which are necessary TO inc
duce the building of the Railroad to
Savanna, and continuing it North to
Museoda, to couple up with the ST.
Paul and Chicago road, should be
encouraged in every possible way by
the city"
1t now costs cents less per bush
ell to ship wheat from Galena to New
York by way of the river than by
cars.
Dan Rice's big show was to have
| been at Galena on the 18th.

Advance in Railroad Freights Great
Rush of Grain.

For the past few weeks the rail-
roads leading to Chicago from points
above Dubuuue, on the Mississippi
river, have been carrying grain, in
connection with steamboats,, from all
river towns, except those which are
terminal points, such as Dubuque,
McGregor and some others, for Che
low rate of loo per bushel to Chicago,
including river transportation, re-
handling, etc. This was done, OF
course, to offset the movement to ST.
Louis and divert the large stores OF
grain in the Northwest to Chicago
instead of Nnw Orleans. The steam
boat lines having advanced their
rates Z cents or s cents, and the wa
ter getting too low to ship down the
river with profit, the railroads have
followed suit with an advance to old
rates again, as they were in the
spring. The change took place yes
terday, and from r. G. Paul, Clerk
on the Muscatine, the Dubuque Times
learns that mighty rush has been
going on at all the landings from
Dubuque to st. Paul to get every
thing possible in motion before the
last day of grace should expire. Vast
quantities of grain havesbeen started
and big hole is made in the amount
of grain on hand in the up country
The low water will therefore fine
comparatively little grain to move
and farmers and shippers have ths
satisfaction of knowing that they
have ,obtained the highest possible
price for what they have disposed o
within the two past months.-Galenc

Blake's Prairie Agricultural Society
2nd Annual Fair.

The Second Annual Fair of the
Blake's Prairie Agricultural Society

fered this week supplement giving
the officers, regulations and list of
premiums of the society for the COM.
ing exhibition and fair.

premium offerings in the other de,
partments are about the same as last
year. A new class" Gram In the
Field'-has been added to the list,
in which entries must be made by
the LIST of July.
The Secretary, Jesse Brooks, states
that last year parties were late in
making entries, causing great delay
in awarding premiums and closing
the business of the fair that this
year no entries ,oiu be permitted ate,
10 o'clock a. IN. on Friday, the last dag
Of the Fair. Entries can be made by
letter by addressing the Secretary al

The Worst Penman in America.

A Cincinnati letter has the follow
ing on the biographer of Pendleton !:
There are a good many jokes per-
petrated about the bad chirography
of Horace Greeley and Rufus
Choate. They are both behind-in
point of execrable manuscript-the
writing editor Of the Cincinnati En-,
quirer, G. M. D. Bloss, Esq. Thre are
only four men living, or who ever
did live, who can read his manuscript.
Allison, Ryan, Allen and Young, COM
positors in the Enquirer office. No
other man can tell what single let
ter of is. He wrote the life ofHon.
George I'll. Pendleton in thirty four
hours. We have one page of the
manuscript, and we will venture a
hat-a new one by the way-that
there is no man that can decipher one
word fit in thirty-four years except
the writer and the four printers al
ready named. Mr.. Bloss himself is
sometimes at loss to know what he
has written, and we have known him
to go to Amos Allison to have "cold"
article, which had lain unfinished de-
phered One of Mr.. Blosss peculiar
tiles is to write with pen, on the
most singlar bit of paper imaginable
in fact, stray corners that are torn
off business letters sent to the EN-
qairer office. His pen holder is about
ten inches in length, which he grasps
carefully by the upper end, and while
writes, sings Old Hundred to the most
ungodly tunes that any man ever
heard, and refuses to recognize any
man that comes into his office, while
he is engaged in writing, not even
excepting the Hon. J. S. faran, Mr..
w. Mclean, Hon. George I'll. Pendle-
ton, or Theodore Cook.

CoRRECTIoN.-Last week in pre-
pairing an article relating to the in
tolerancy of persons who profess
liberal opinions we enormously used
the religious paper known as the
Liberal Christian. We should have
stated that the Church UnioniSt had
partly disappeared from the milky
galaxy, as it is now issued by semi
monthly or occasionally. After ex-
pressing the widest scope of tolera.
ton, even including the unorthodox,
it lit down upon the Baptists and
Free Masons, alleging that these
vestiges of dead past should be
voted into oblivion, there being in
superable difficulties in the way OF
Christian Union while they are al
lowed to live and breed dissentiont
IN the household which except fol
their tenets would speedily become g
unit.
