The County Government.

Last week we received long commu
nication from a correspondent at Els
worth, advocating change in the coun-
" government, but dealing in PERSONAL
ties to such an extent that we shall be
obliged to decline publishing it. Anoth-
er from the same source is received this
week which is even more bitter than the
former. Though claiming the expensive
character Of the present supervisor system
rs basis FOR bis argument, our CORES.
pondent so mixes in the personalities as
to almost hide the main object from view
His arguments are made wholly against
the present board, and not at all against
the system, wherein he so much desires
q change.
We believe the oil system of ore su-
pcrvisor to each town will not any more
justly represent the whole people than
does the present system. A body of fif-
ty men voting at ole poll would have as
loud voice in county matters as would
five hundred. 1t is true some particular
local interest might be moro fully repre-
scented the oil way, but it is question
whether this defect is of sufficient impor-
lance to demand so great an increase of
our county board, when We consider the
additional expense it will entail upon
the people. Our state legislature costs
enough and we have no desire to see
our taxes increased in order to support a
miniature legislature at home. 1t would
be an expensive luxury which wo can
better aff',rd to do without.

The Minnesotians have every reason
to be well pleased with the cordial re-
ception and sumptuous entertainment
given them. and must return home con-
Sinced Of the generous hospitality OF
their Wisconsin nsighoors. In a gen
era sense suppose this affair may be
written. down as success. 1t has cost
the state some stamps. but if the good
resulting from it equals the expense, it
need not be regretted. fear, however,
it has established bad precedent. Our
county boards may catch the re union
fever and invite in ueighboring county
boards to have little time ut the coun-
tvs expense. Towns will be ext in or.
der, and then school districts, till the
thing becomes a positive nuisance. The
legislature should pass law prohibiting
counties and towns from initiating their
example.
The people of Pierce County will be
pleased to learn that the amendment TO
the St. Croix and Superior r. r. bill
naming Prescott as tho Southern termi-
nus Of the road has passed the Senate
and will doubtless be concurred in by the
Assembly.
The Female Suffrage Bill Bill was the
special order of Monday evening last
Mr.. Maxson, of Rock county, took the
floor, and addressed the House with a
forcible speech of an hours duration, in
favor of the bill. At the close of his
speech the bill passed the Assembly by
a vote of 80 to %. The announcement
of the result was greeted with much ap-
plause. There's no use talking, women
are going to vote, and I'm glad of it
The dear creatures deserve all they can
get and more too.
You will note that this letter is not
the work Of your excellent Madison cor
respondent, &C. c." He has run away
to Milwaukee with the Legislature, and
is now on the rampage" thoroughly
demoralized and wholly unfit for rcpor-

his mantle upon my unworthy self, with
the strict injunction to "wrte for the

The weather is beautiful-warm and
sunny as springtime. The snow is fast

The End Cometh.

The curtain is about TO drop upon the
last act of a great farce in Uncle Sans
theatre. ANDYs comedy of errors
draweth to a close. A world has wit
messed the performance-heard his
maudlin inaugural address-saw the
great " Constitution" act-the startling
"Circle" movement-the thrilling ave.
10" acts-and world has been disgust
ed. Engaged for star performer, A.
J. has proved TO be only low comedi-
an-Sery low. indeed. He has been an
unpopular actor, and losing venture for
SAMUEL.
Made President at a time rich with
opportunities for working blessings on
his kind, doing noble deeds, and for i'm
mortalizing his own name, he let slip
those grand chances, gave full sway to
his coarse, selfish passions, and nov
leaves the position highest in the gift Of
the American people, detested aud alb
horred by his fellow men throughout all
our broad land. And ia tue fall he
has dragged down to the depth of his
own infamous ruin, men whose pas. ca
reer was glorious and whose future was
yet lreighted with honors /; but blindy
following the beck of their wiIlfuI leader
they were enguIphed IN even greater
ruin than he. Lacking his vanity and
iudomitable perseverance,, they can never
hope to attain to their lost positions in
the confidence Of the people. 1t is fear
full example of what will surely be the
fate of any official who undertakes to
override the will Of a fee people.
ANDREW JOHNSON has yet one hope
of not being an entirely " dead duck"
After the 4th of March lie will GO back
to Tennessee. Many there are in that
state who see in him their salvation
their life. They will receive him with
open arms. and he will have their suff-
RACES. Endeavors will be made to again
hoist him into public position. Success
may attend them, but probably net with
out violent opposition from that equally
obstinate and persevering old bundle o!
NORWOOD, Parson BRowNLow. Should
such contest occur we trust twill end
as did that between the Kilkenny CATS
then we shall have peace.

Enfranchising Deserters.

A bill has been introduced into the
legislature to repeal the law disfranchis-
ing deserters. If there 10 q set of be-
ings who deserve the contempt and de-
testation Of every true man it is com
posed of these same cowardly sneaks
who have been justly though partially
punished 10y Acknowledgement. A man
who deserts his post in an hour of dan
ger violates his most sacred oath, and be-
comes not only coward but perjured
coward, should, in justice, be deprived of
everp right of an American citizen. 1t
Is a great concession to allow him the
rights OF life liberty and tho pursuit of
happiness" We hope he will be de-
prived of every other right for somo time
to come. We are becoming so lenient in
disposition and SO generous of our rights
that We presume the next move will be
to enfranchise the convicts in Waupun,
and open the polls in the State Prison
FOR their especial benefit. They have
rs good right to vote as any, other
criminals.

Grants Last Speech.
G. c. pro tenn,

After the counting Of the electoral
votes and in reply to Mr., MoRToN's
speech informing him of his election as
President of the United States, Gen.
GRANT made the following remarks, en-
tirely characteristic Of the man:
In accepting the high Office conferred
upon him by his countrymen, lie desired
to assure them that he would cali around
him men who would carry out principles
which the country desired to be success
ful, which were economy, retrencbment
and the faithful collection of the revenue,
and if these persons did not perform
their duties, he would not hesitate to
supply their places with those who would
perform their duties faithfully. He
would remove his own appointees as soon
as those of his predecessor.
He had not announced his cabinet up
to the present time, but had intended to
do SO after bis official notification, but
after careful consideration he had come to
the conclusion not to make public the
names of those be should choose. not
even TO the parties selected, until he
should transmit their names to the
Senate, because there is not a man in the
country who, if named for position in
the Cabinet, would not be assalled and
a great pressure brought to bear by the
friends of various parties. If not sat
isfcd with his first appointment, he
would not hesitate TO make second one

New Temperance Bill.

Assemblyman 'LAPHAM, of Adams

tect families of drunkards and spend.
thrifts from the rapacity of dealers in
spirituous, intoxicating, ardent or fer
mented liquors."
1t provides for the wife or minor chill
dren the right to colIec: back from the
dealer double the amount received by
him for drinks from the husband or faith
err. 1t also provides that the husband
shall be a competent witness to testify
for either party.
The aim of this bill is evidently to des
troy the profits of the liquor traffic and
thereby the traffic itself. 1t also makes
the dealer responsible for the iu;u.
ry he does to the community, by giving
the injured party chance for redress.
