That $4,000 AGAIN. Our neighbor
the Democrat, tells US that If Mr.. Henry
allows Iowa county to have the $1,000 of
judgments assigned to him by Beecher,
1T is simply a gift of IS 900 from Mr.
Henry to Iowa county and Mineral
Point From the appearance of that
little word If it seems that after all there
is some doubt as to whether that
s., 000 released will be of any advantage
to the people or not FROM the manner
in which the Democrat touches this SUBJ
ject, one might be led to suppose that
Mr.. Henry had sacrificed eight thousand
dollars in order to effect this settlement,
which is hardly the case. Ii did not
suit the Democrats purpose to mention
the important fact that the judgments
against the r. h Company, which Mr..
Henry transfers to Beecher, have been
outlawed several years, and are not
worth copper in any market in the
world. The value of these old jude-
ments is the amount of Mr. Hnry's AIT
and when Peck tells US it is IS 900, he
figures large.
+. S.-Since preparing the above for
the press we have heard Mr.. Henrys
statement of this matter, which substan-
tally is, that he allows the county to
have the $1,000 of judgments, and leaves
the Board to say whether they will pay
him anything therefor or not Oar view
is that the Board ought not to pay him
anything, and this position we shall de-
fcnd whenever the matter comes before
we desire to say nothing further on the
subject

Insult TO ISJunY-In commenting on

INSULT TO INJURY.-1n commenting on
the action of Mr. Blake, whose name is
used in the injunction preventing the
issuing Of bonds under the so-called
compromise, the Democrat adds insult
to the injury done the people in the
premises. That paper says: "All the
"points which have been raised and
written about in the Tribune and
"Chronicle, and talked of among the
"people since the Board met in July and
(which are now made the basis for OBJ
'taining an Injunction, were raised, dis
"cussed, fully explained and disposed of
"by the Board and Mr. Blake, or any
"of the parties who are now finding
fault, and disappearing the compro-
mise, could have ascertained the truth
End facts by attending the meeting of
"the Board"
This is felt as an ineycusable insult
to the people, because they were not
advised and had not the remotest idea
what the terms Of the compromise were,
until the same were published among the
proceedings of the Board, after being
accepted by that body 1t was given out
merely that Mr. Henry had arranged a
settlement at 65 cents on the dollar, in
which the people were disposed to ac-
quiesce presuming, of course, that the
conditions would be equitable. Had the
stipulations of the settlement been pub
lished and understood before the meet
ing of the Board, the settlement we feel
C onfdent, would have been rejected;
more just and reasonable terms might
have been secured, and the present un-
happy state of affairs would have been
avoided. Instead of this, however,
though the settlement was arranged, and
the stipulations were in possession Of the
county attorney for two or three weeks
before the Board met nothing was gem
orally known concerning the same until
after their adoption IN the face of this
fact, to taunt the people by telling them
they should have entered their ohjec-
tons before the compromise wa ac-
cepted by the Board, is an indignity
which they will not meekly brook

that paper was led to state, in copying
our article of two weeks ago reviewing
the bond settlement that it was not

the matter to him and expressed desire

This all transpired before or on the

it was too personal in its character We

AT the meeting of the County Board on
Tuesday and yesterday, to hear objections to
the Beecher- Henry compromise, great inter
est was manifested, and able arguments made
on each side. The Board met about y
o'clock on Tuesday, and remained in session
until 10 P NJ Messrs. Wilson, Weber aud
Strong addressed the Board in opposition to
the settlement, and in defense of the iniunc-
ton and MesSrs. Henry and Smith spoke on
the opposite side.
Mr.. Wilson merely spoke in explanation of
a set of resolutions adopted by the Mass
Meeting, submitted for the consideration of
the Board.
Mr.. Weber followed and made a very ac-
ceptable speech except that lie very improp-
erly strayed from his subject iu an attempt to
defend his action at Madison last winter, and
reflect upon Mr.. Henry. He was called TO
order, however, as he should have been, and
concluded his address in good style. Had he
omitted the objectional part of his speech, it
would have been more effective
Mr.. Strong followed Weber in one of the
most powerful, logical arguments VIC have
ever heard even from him, whose capabilities
In this line are SO great. To Us it seemed
that Mr.. Strong's reasoning could hardly fail
to convince any unprecedented that the
settlement was defective, and that there was
imperative need of its modification and cor
rection in many respects. The action of the
Board on the day following was no doubt
largely influenced by Mr.. Strong's irresistible
logic.
In the evening Mr.. Henry employed an hour
in defense of the settlement. His address
consisted merely Of statement of the mode
and circumstances OF the arrangement be-
tween himself and Mr.. Beecher He insisted
that the settlement was nothing more nor less
than simple agreement to pay Mr.. b. o.
cents on the dollar for his claims that there
was no danger that we should have to pay
more than the % per cent, and that the word
ing of the agreement, when stripped of its
verbiage, meant simply that we would pay %
per cent. of Beecher's claim in cancellation of
it, and nothing more. From Mr. Henry's re-
marks we were convinced that he believed
the settlement a safe one. We give him
credit for being sincere, bat must differ with
him as to the danger involved in the settle
ment. He utterly failed to overcome the OBJ
jections raised. His position is simply that IF
we 90 on and make payments as stipulated all
will be well, Tin which every body agrees with
HIM, and that it is improbable that the ad-
vantages given the bondholders under this
settlement, viii ever cause us any trouble in
which we most sincerely apprehend he is al
together too sanguinc.
Mr.. Smith followed Mr. Henry, and made
some good points in defense OF the settlement,
but was compelled to admit the forced Of Mr.
Strong's argnmcnt-that to carry out the
| settlement in the face of the opposition of a
large portion Of the people, was wholly i'm
practicable. From Mr.. Smiths remarks we
conclude that while he believes the settle
ment to be safe and sound, he thought it best
to have il so amended as to meet the approval
of the people if possible.
