Light Wanted On an Obscure Matter.
ASAaosA. Sept. Ii.
To the Editor OF the Dubuque Herald.
1t is u maxim Of the English law that
the king can do no wrong, and therefore, if
the crown should be induced to grant any
franchise or privilege to subject contrary
to reason, or in any wise prejudicial to the
commonwealth, or private person, such
grant is rendered void.
Now suppose the king, very much in
want of money, should be induced to give
his notes for large amount, paying 10
per cent. interests and suppose that
through the craft Of skilful financiers he
should submit to an additional load OF
five per cent. making 20 in all and
should further agree after paying this
exorbitant rate of interest for 20 years, to
pay the holders Of these notes the original
amount borrowed with bonus of $50 pei
cent. making $3.50 for every dollar bor-

Agricultural Pair.

SrrT. 90. 30 and Der. LIST, 1869.
Iwould call the attention of people to
the time of our Fair, and earnestly invite
all to attend. 1t is the intention of the
officers to make tho occasion one Of pleas
urc, profit and instruction to the people
to ayeid as far as possible any issues that
do not properly belong to an Agricultural
Society, and keeping our main business in
view try to direct the efforts Of the soci-
ETY. in their proper channel. We would
urge all the members to contribute some
thing to the exhibition. No person should
be content to toll year without prodn-
cling, at last, one thing worth bringing to
the Fair. 1t is probably unnecessary for
me to speak of the general good order and
pleasant intercourse of the people at our
Fairs in years past-most have been there
and seen for themselves. The disordcrly
actions of few rowdies outside the Fair
Grounds, after the Fair had closed, is not
properly chargable to the Society nor to
the people who attended the Fair. We
hope to avoid even this much Of disorder
this year-such persons should DO prompt
ly arrested and punished. We do not eS>
pect disorder-we have too much conf
deuee in our people to think they can't
behave themselves. The Board of Di-
rectors rescinded the Beer and Wine pro-
hibitory resolution because it became ap-
parent that it would do no good (outslde
stands would double in number and sci.
both) and it might cause much dissatislac-
ton to members who do not wish to be
Judged in their Ito them customary bev-
erace. We do not wish to distract the
Society by questions that may be settled
elsewhere. We are earnestly striving to
pay the debt of the Society and restore it
to u sound, healthy condition financially.
1t would not be advisable to cripple our
resources, at the present time, by trying
experiments too far in advance of public
sentiment. Let all attend and resolve to
work together for the general good. Let
the coming gathering of our people be
pleasant and harmonious. We hope to
improve our Fairs each year, cement in tho
bonds of friendship our folks from SC
many parts of tbs earth, and to advance
the interests of Agriculture in our County

Religious Bigotry in Ohio.

General RosECRANs, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio, is
Catholic, as many of our readers know.
His military record and career are
known to the whole country. The po-
litical views which he entertained dur
ing the war are less generally known.
Suffice it to say that they were at the
very opposite pole of conservatism.
During all that time there were no
murmurs against him becanse he was a
Catholic. But now that he is the can
didate of the Democratic party for the
highest Office in the gift of his
State, the spirit of religious intolerance
is invoked to his prejudice. The one
point urged against him by the Radical
party press of Ohio is, that he is Cath
olic. He was not "rebel" "copper"
bead" conservative, even. From the
Radical point of view his politics-that
is bis record-cannot be impeached. He
is only assailable on tho side of his re-
ligion. The disguised Know Nothing
ism of the Radical party, which has
been smouldering under the surface for
years. is now jetting out in sharp
tongues of flame all over the State. A
Catholic, it seems, might be trusted
with the destinies of the country on the
battlefeld-with the lives of tens Of
thousands of the children of Ohio-but
he cannot be entrusted with the Office
of Governor This is not bigotry simply
it is imbecility.

Singular Case.

We have already mentioned the re-
port that q young man named WlInam
Powell suddenly became deaf and DUMP
at BeIls Station, Tennessee. The hrst
report was that he had been mimiclng
a deaf and dumb boy, and that the
strange visitation followed. He tells O
somewhat different story, however, IN a
published letter, which we subJoin. Ii
should be added-and this explanation
probably removes the case from the
realm of mystery-that on SUNDAY
evening previous, young Powell, in at
tempting to Jump from q hand car,
which was running rapidly, was thrown
heavily to the ground. His severe fall,
added to the intensely hot weather the
day after, doubtless caused the affiiction
under which he labors. The following
is his letter:

What it Costs to Shoe Two Favorite

"Addien
The salary of the President, says the
Baltimore Gasette'S Washington cores
pondent, is $4,000 per annum. His
''perquisites," beyond mansion, furni-
ture, most spacious garden, and pas
ture enough for all the cattle of the
Duke of DevOnshire, and for all the fine
horses of the Duke of Newcastle, are

and presents of all kinds from his
fellow citizens" at home and abroad.
Two orders of his, since he has been rus
ticating at Long Branch, tell signiti-

the Interior is laconic. 1t is simply to
see that his two favorite nags are prop
erly "shod," and sent on. Upon inquiry

couple of horses should not cost more
than ten dollar greenback; but the
word "shod," like Littleton's "&c.," IN

by the sycophantic Secretary, a great
deal. In short, this business of "shoe-
