EDITORS JouRNAL:--We see with
surprise that Assemblyman FULTON Of
our county, is misleading the members
of the Legislature as to the position of
our people upon the disposition Of the
land grant. He is currently reposted
to state that he was elec,ei upon the
land grant issue, and that a large ma.
jority of the people Of his district are 10
favor of the bestowal Of the grant upon
the Milwaukee Il St. Paul 20. These
statements are wide of truth. There
was no issue on the land grant question
when Mr.. FULTON was elected, all par
ties conced;ng. and to this Mr.. FULTON

land grant should be given to the North

A RejOinder.

MADISON, Feb IA. 1873.
EDIrOR's JOURNAL:-We desire to
correct the misrepresentation contained
in communication published in your
paper Of yesterday over the signatures
of H. A. Taylor and others.
In that communication it is alleged
that the disposition of the land grant
was a que ,tion not at issue 10 last falls
election in St. Croix county.
We, as residents and citizens of said
county deem it our duty to correct that
misrepresentation and state that the ON
ly issue in that county in the 'ast elec
tion concerning railroads was as to
whether the land grant road should he
built as competing road to the West
Wisconsin, and this question was well
understood as the question was fully
discussed in every town in the county,
and Mr.. Baldwin's candidate was de-
feated, aud Mr. Fulton elected by de.
eisive majority. because B,ldwin's can
didate was well known to be in his in
terests, add was earnestly supported by
Baldwin. with all the inf ,euce OF the
West Wisconsin road, aud all the gen
tlemen who signed said communicate n,
except l. z. Wetberby.
Composition then AZ now, is what the
people want, and by giving the grant t.
the Milwaukee d St Paul Company,
they will secure it. BY giving it to the
North Wisconsin Conpiny only an ex
tension Of monopoly results
Mr. Fulton faithfully represents the
declared wishes and obvious interests of
his constituents.

Exams CONFESSION.

The confession OF Evans, the murderer
recently convicted in New Hampshire, is Il
horrible and startling revelation of crime
too horrible we are inclined to think to
be true. 1t seems to US not improbable
that the circumstances attending the trial
and conviction of the prisoner, and the
effects of the terrible crime itself for which
he is condemned, may have so wrought
upon his mind as to render him insane, so
that he imagines himself the guilty author
of several crimes, having some similarity
to the one for which he is to be hung. If
his revelation is true, then Doyle who died
in the Maine State Prison for the murder of
a girl in Franklin county, was innocent,
and Mr.. Pillsbury who defended him so
strenuously in full belief Of his innocence
was right. What shall we sayto the infalli-
bility and justice of criminal courts ifthis be
true? There will probably be some meth
DDS by which the truth of this confession
may be tested. The history of the muir
derer may without doubt be traced back
ward so as to disclose whether it agrees
with his statement or not. II no discrep-
ancy is found, but if facts and dates cor
respond with those in the confession, SO
that we must accept it as true, then indeed
we must believe the man to be monster
in human form, and we in this State must
solemnly inquire what can atone for the
incarceration of Doyle in Prison so many
years for crime Of which he was inno-
cent, and thank God that he did not die at
the hands of the hangman

SCHENCK's SEAWEED Tonic,
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop a cough will
oten occasion the death Of the patient 1t locks up
the nver stops the circulation OF the blood henor
rhage follows and, in fact, cloggng the action Of
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes of
two'thirds OF the cases of consumption. Many are
now complaining with dull pain In the side the
bowels sometimes costive and sometimes toe loose
tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade feeling
sometimes very restless, and at other times drow.
sy the food that is taken lies heavily on the storn
ach, accompanied with acidity and belching Of
wind. These symptoms usually originate from a
disordered condition of the stomach or q torpid
liver. Persons SO affected, if they take or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive and before
the patient is aware OF his situation, the lungs are
mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the in
evitable result.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain any opium, nor any thing
calculated to check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic dissolyes the food
mixes with the gastric juice ofthe stomach, digests
circulation Of the blood. When the bowels are
costive skin sallow, and the patient is of bilious
habit, Schenck's Mandrake Pills are required.
