Correspondence.
FRANKFORT, MINI, July 20, 1872.
Editor Mo'eer County Tra".e,ip.:
SIR PLEASE allow me small space
in your paper for the purpose Of setting
right the Misrepresentation made by
your frankfort correspondent.
Now comes truth in it's own
proper form and makes answer to its
opposite, and says, 1 reitcratc what
was said in my former letter in refer
ence to tho heavy taxpayers, Cor, if it
suits him bettor,) that twenty Of the
heavy taxpaying farmers did vote in
favor Of those bonds.
We had legal election, all the pro-
ccedings being conducted tremendously,
with a strictly fair canvass which show
ed twenty votes in favor Of the bonds.
Now, after that result, would not any
gentleman have considered it conclu-
sive.
I see the shoe still pinches' If
he was really offered what he says, for
his influence, and did not accept,
he is more verdant youth than l took
him to be. The person he refers TO-,
says he is ready to swear that no such
conversation ever took place, nor has
he any acquaintance with any insurance
or agricultural implement company: nor
has he any chances in the post Office to
offer. So it appears there is slight
difference Of opinion which must be
nailed and those who are acquainted
with the parties know just where to
place it.
Now in reference to the imported vo-
tors, S. Mccormick and others who vo-
ted on that day were legal voters as
much so as was your correspondent,
with the exception Of the one vote l
spoke Of in my former letter.
He says the reason wrote that let
ter was threefold, LIST. To cover up a
fragrant wrong that has been perpe,ra-
ted on the taxpayers Of this town.
What I have to say to the LIST is, that
the wrong will not effect him very
heavy.
I'd. To cast a slur on the Norwegi-
an voters Of this town. Answer No 2.
The Norwegians know better-nor do
said Norwegians consider him as their
peer.
Sd. To get rid Of a large amount
Of snarling, grouty feelings against the
writer thereof. Answer No. 3. I have
no snarling, grouty feelings against the
writer thereof: Yours truly, =:
Truth.

Gov. BROWN, in his speeches, presents
statictics to prove that thousands of dollars
are annually being saved to the State by
his penitentiary policy. He makes des-
perate effort to conceal the true issues in
the case by comparing the earnings
of that institution in former years with the
present. Now he knows, that there has
been no question of that kind raised. The
question the people desire answered is,
why was the penitentiary leased for thirty
thousand dollars per annumn, when re-
sponsible parties offered forty thousand
Why was the lease not advertised and the
largest possible amount secured? Do you
hear, Governor Brown? Please tell us
why you felt constrained to send special
message to the Legislature, asking for the
confirmation of the lease, when it was
stated ON the floor of the House, that
Messrs. Newsom, Horton & Co. would pay
forty thousand dollars per amman for the
labor of the convicts? You understand
the question, and your effort to evade il
impresses great many people with the
idea that all is not right.
