advisers men who are above suspicion, and
gaard against 'rings'' and men who have
nothing 'slss in view but to CRAFTY their

the State is to be retained. If this is done
we need fear nothing and all will be well.

France, whose death occurred at Chisel-

THE Tribune thus figures up ''the value
of Credit Mobillier stock, which members
OF Congress were allowed to buy at par
land pay for or not, us they pleased) ; Mr..

twelve dividends, amounting in the aggre-
gate to ,505 per cent, and over 600 pei
cent. of this was divided after July 4, 1868

The Great SNOW storm.

MILWAUKEE. Jan. IL.
A dispatch from Minneapolis says the
storm on the St. Paul and Pacific rail-
road was me scverest ever known. At
station called Kirkhaven there were
several farmers in the town when the
storm first burst upon them. They left
for home with their teams, and very few
have been heard of since. One wagon
was found containing q Mrs. Poland and
boy, both frozen to death. Many teams,
both of oxen and horses, are found frozen
in drifts, ond the fate of their owners is
unknown.
a st. Paul dispatch says the great storm
resulted in many fatal casualties in Min
nesota aud was unprecedented in severity.
Three brothers, Charles, John and Alex
ander O'Neil and Thomas and Michael
Holden, each with two-horse team. start
ed for Willmar with wheat, on Tuesday
last, and were found on Friday about
ten miles from home in terrible condi-
ton.
Two of the O'Neils and one Of the Hold
ems were found in sleighs frozen to death.
The Others were alive, but will scarcely
survive. Five OK teams, in the same
vicinity, were found frozen to death the
drivers are supposed to have abandoned
their teams and been frozen to death. AT
the Herman station, on the st. Paul and
Pacific railroad. q man was frozen to death
while going frem the depot to the water
tank.
AT New Ulm littlo boy, while endea-
voring to reach his home, wandered eight

TIE NEW COUNTY OFFICERS AND THE
RINe.-The late changes in the public off,
GERS in the Court House are so apparent
that all who visit there cannot htlp but
notice a vast improvement. We are daily
congratulated upon the result of tho radi-
cal change in this county, aud If ever the
people had just cause to pride themselves
in having good, honest and efficient officers,
they have now. We are glad to know that
all tho officers elected from the Republican
ranks, as well as their subordinates, are
competent men and are disposed to serve
the people faithfully and honestly. Al
though it has long been known that n Rirg
existed about the Court House, and that
the business was done in the most loose
manner, and that many transactions had
taken place in which the people were left
in the dark, this became moro and more
apparent at the retirement Of the old Off
GERS, by their anxiety to fetiain little
white longer, probably to cover up their
tracks which were liEe,S to be discovered
by the new incumbchts. But az they were
foiled in this by the new Office RS having the
nerve to close the doors on them to the
vaults, they are left to tren,blc until mat
tcrs have been investigated. Thus far
there hhs not been sufficient time to look
over former accounts TO embody many of
the transactions in the auditors report, but
we are satisfied that sufficient. is already
knewn to justify us in saying that we can
expect some rich developments by the time
settlements are made with some of the re-
firing officers.
The forthcoming auditors report Say
perhaps, shed some light upon some mat
ters which will interest the taxpayers. We
hope that the auditors will give fuller re-
port than heretofore, and itemize more
particularly, SO The people can see how
their money was disposed Of Fsr instance
the accounts Of jury fines, recognizances,
&c, how much has been paid into the
County Treasury and the amounts uncol-
lected. Also the jobbing business in con-
tracing for new road damages, bridges,
&C., for making ont duplicates, monies re-.
ccivcd for taxes from unsea!ed lands and
how appropriated. All such items will
prove interesting to these sho help to pay
the county taxes.
