RAILROAD MATTERS.
Excitement at Menasha-Bonds of the
Wisconsin Central Railroad.


Correspondence Of the Chicago Evening Post.
MENAsHA, Wis, july 20.
This fourishing little village on the
Lower FoX,at the head of lake Winnebago,
has subscribed ana voted $4,000 for the
Wisconsin Central railroad \ proposition
was drawn up by the company, and accept
cd by the town of Mcnasha. This propo-
>ition stated that the town should deposit
bonds to the amount of $4,000 in the Ma
tional Bank Of Commerce, of New York,
and that they should lie deposited by the
Supervisor or some person appointed for
that purpose, but not until We had some
Sign of having u road at Mcnasha. We
have a yet no signs, though they are build
Ing little out of town; but still some hot
headed citizens, to make some money from
1t, got the members of the Board to sign
the bond and coupons, and the Supervisor.
not daring to start from Mcnasha, went to
Appleton and got on freight car to 20 to
New York with the bonds and interest war
rants, and coupons, TO deposit them. \
person who understood the whole fraud,
served m injunction on him before he had
gone fifty miles, and stopped him. Had
those bonds and coupons gone to New Y rk,
ii would have utterly ruined MenaSha, by
placing such debt on her shoulders that
She never could rally from. Never was a
greater whiriwind blown up by the iniunc-
ton. On street corners, in factories, mills.
and in the store and family circle, it was
discussed alike. But, remember, that all
who went against it did moi know the real
unyarnishcd truth. They had not even
read the proposition, nor had they ever
seen bond or a coupon. The smooth
tongue Of one person who did nothing else
but swlndle the communicated 10 other

produce SIN more havoc by The hot-hcaded

therefore your city ought and must give it

next week, and work viii commence at
once. The Northern Pacific IS surveyed
to Ashland, and, if this contemplated road
is once finished, there is bright prospects
that this great Northern Pacific viii follow

has felt rather bitter against Chicago, and
1t has used all its influence against your
