Editor Mower County Transcript:
SIR ALLOW me to use the columns
of your paper for the purpose Of en-
tightening the public on number Of
statements that q Truth" made in his
letter to the TRANSCRIPT, regarding the
bond question. In order to mislead,
the first thing he does is to commence
work Of transposition. That portion
of the paragraph which reads in my
letter; d" A large majority Of the heavy
tax paying farmers; he has changed
to read "hcavy taxpayers" and re-
marks that my statement is just the re-
verse Of the fact, for at least twenty Of
the heaviest taxpayers Of the town vo-
ted in favor of the bonds. As the
public are we'll aware of the fact that
these twenty heavy taxpayers he speaks
of do not constitute onc-fourth of the
heavy tax paying farmers Of this town,
his attempt to make my statement ap-
pear untrue amounts to nothing but a
failure. The statements I made in re.
alton to the shylocks Of the town be-
ing heavy holders Of worthless village
lots and rickety buildings, he has also
changed to suit his purpose and re
marks that where the shoe pinchcs
is in their not thinking my vote and
influence worth one Of their town
lots. If the stockholders told him so
when they employed him to act as their
mouthpiece, they missinformed him in
regard u the facts in the case for one
Of them who is yet in possession Of a
goodly number of the old, dilapidatcd,
rickcty buildings and worthless lots did
offer me my choice in his vacant lots if
I would vote for the bonds and also Of
fercd me his chance in the post Office
and his influence in getting agencies
from insurance and agricultural nipple.
ment companies if would assist him
in carrying the vote in favor OF the
bonds by cle"tioncering through the
town in favor Of them, and by writing

Mr.. Thos. II. Hartwell, for some years CITY
Attorney Of Detroit, Mich, and ever an active
Democrat has recently returned home from a
seven months tour in the Southern States, and,
III conversation with a business man, remarked,
earnestly, that, in his opinion, "the safety OF
the country absolutely demands the reelection
Of President Grant" The impressions he brings
back are thus stated by the Detroit Post: Il have
travelled all over the South" he said 'and you
have no idea here in the North Of the bad con-
dition Of things there. The Southern ex-rebel
elements are all ripe for another revolution, or
any other scheme by which they can revenge
themselves upon the North and the Government.
they are bitter and dangerous, curse the North,
curse the blacks, and curse the Government
with bitterness you have no idea of, aud
threaten vengeance when they regain power,
which they expect to do through Greeley s

tary Boutwell, removed the position he held as
chief Of the Treasury Department detective

very natural. The Democratic press, before Mr.
