appointed county attorney by the
Supervisors OF Dubuque county, is
catching it heavily from the Times
That paper explicitly charges that
when the Judge was Duputy United
States District Attorney, in 1869
he took $3.50 from bondsmen for
forfeited recognizances, giving his
receipt thereof, representing that he
had Il right to receive it, and instead

judgment in the court still stands
against the defendants, whose efforts
to get Judge Wilson to release them

The Fayctte Times announces the
departure OF Hon. w. G. Donnan
for Washington in this way. "He
has gone to lamiliarizc himself with
the customs OF Congressman, before
entering upon his official duties This

who will dance in hole ought to
feel satisfied to get off with a paltry
ten dollars. m ID
