the Sangamon Circui, sourt, on the 21st, de-

Gov. TAYLOR, of Wisconsin, on the 21st is
sued lengthy address to the people of Wis
consin, in which he reiterates his determination
to enforce the Railway laws of that State.
After calling attention to the fact that ample
time and opportunity had been given the COM
panies interested to arrange their business so
49, oE 4ha
new law, and that two of the most powerful
railroads in the State had conspired together
to defeat the operation of the law and had OBJ
tanned the opinion of hired counsel that it was
unconstitutional, ETC., the Governor says the
law must be enforced with vigor duly
proportionate to the power and defiance of
the offenders. He concludes by calling upon
and enjoining every citizen of the State to OBJ
serve with scrupulous care the requirements
of the law when dealing with railroad COM
panles, and to pay as traveller no higher fare,
and as a shipper or receiver of freight no
higher rates, than the law prescribes, and that,
if in any exigency or necessity he should suf-
fer any SUM in excess of legal rates to be ex-
torted from him byany agent OF any such COM
pany, he notify, with all convenient dispatch,
the District Attorney of his county of such
violation of law. The Governor further says
that, in the possible contingency of sufficient
resistance to the local authorities to require
the interference of the Executive, the guar
antees contained in his proclamation of May
can be relied on with the utmost confidence.

Texan frontier reign of terror prevailed

A NEW swindle was exposed in Chicago on
the 23d. One GA. w. Locke" who pre-
tended to be an agent for English-made
sewing machines, had been flooding the
country offering to furnish first-class ma
chimes, made in England, for twenty two
dollars and wait three months for his pay,
only stipulating that four dollars, the amount
required to pay the customs duties, should be
paid in advance. He gave excellent references
and large number sent in their dollars. Sus-
picion being aroused, an investigation was
had, and the swindle stood confessed. Locke
was proved to be myth and his project de-
fusion.
On the 23d Hon. David B. Mellish, New
York Congressman, died in the Washington
Insane Asylum.
