l will now call your attention to Sec
ton ! of article 10, which provides that
county authorities shall never assess
taxes in any one year, the aggregate of
which shall exceed 95 cents per SlOOval-
uation,' except for the support of free
schools and the payment of debts in cx-
iStence at the time of the adoption of tn"
Constitution, unless such assessment,
with all questions involving the increase
Of such aggregate, shall have been sub
mitted to the vote of :he people of the
county and have received three-ffths of
all the votes cast for and against it.
Under Republican administration the
taxes were frequently from $500 to $500
on the 500 valuation. Comment Is UNI

mittee of this State, through the Chair
man. J. w. Mason, ESQ.,, has issued a
campaign address, under date of June 4,
1874. Gov. Stevenson (of the State
Journal of Parkersburg), who is high Re-

Another good point in the new Con-
stitution may be found in section 80, ar
ticle 8. which reads rs follows:
mo citizen of this State who aided or
participated in the late war between the
government of the United States and II
part of the people thereof, on either side,
Shall he liable in any proceeding civil or
criminal; nor shall his property be siczed
or sold under final process, issued upon
judgments or DEGREES heretofore rendered
or otherwise because of any act done ac-
cording to the usages of civilized warfare
in the prosecution of said war by either
of the parties thereto
Under Republican administration the
bitter feudS and animositieS engendered
during the late war We're kept constantly
alive by all manner of suits, civil and
criminal, based upon acts committed by
the soldiers in both armies. This was
all wrong. If we are to live together a>
brothers i'm II common union these things
should be forgotten. or if not forgotten ut
least forgiven. So the Constitutional
Convention very properly inserted the
foregoing section in the Constitution, ana
it was ratified by the people.
There are few other complaints made
bv the outs against some of the laws
framed under our new Constitution.
They are mainly three, the County Court
svstem..the road law and the school law
COUNTY COURTS.
There has been great hue and cry
raised rs to the County Court system and
and its practical workings. Now, not
being lawyer, / have no practical eXpc-
rience to relate in this connection, but
have this to say, that all this fuss is non
sense. for the reason that the majority OF
voters of anv county in this State can
shuttle of this system and adopt n new
one ut their will and pleasure. And 4
notice as somewhat remarkable TACT
that although most of this TRADE against
County COnrts comes from Repuollcal'
sources, let in not single county where
the Republicans predominant has move
, been made to change the system. lhey
have the power to rid themselves OF tins
fraud. as they term it. If it is so un-
wieldy; so expensive; SO Objectionable
in every way, why don't they rid them,
selves of it as quickly as possible? The
Constitution is explicit on this point. l
refer YOU to section "a, article 8,
THE Legislature shall, upon the appll'
cation of any county, reform, modify Oh
alter the County Court established by
this Constitution in such county, and II
lieu therehf, with the assent of major,

speech by which he justifes it. Il,
has thus relieved himself Of the sus

side. Female suffrage is rot popular:
there is too much justice and goo.

and that at no distant day; and thee

cause when he would gain nothing by
it. The Amendments it YVES to Civ,
women the right to suffrage in the ter

majority, in spite OF Carpenters eID-
4uent advocacy, amid uproar and mer

delegates from New Lisbon Lodge were
made the recipients Of special favors,
aud kind mention, by the officers of
the convention for their zeal and eom-
mcndAbIe success in the cause of Fem

Tire proceedings CT the convention
were very interesting, and we regret

tion in full as tie report of the several
lodges were encouraging, ard their
efforts crowned with cheering success :
Tire lodges which reported, gave a
total Of G15, II we add to this RS
for the Lodges which did not report.
we have 1 lice Good Templars in good

ports show chat large majority Of the

The resolutions adopted by The con-

Resolved, That while we 90 not be-

the political machinery Of our country
we do think it the duty OF every Cod
Templar to use his vote and his polit-
ical influence on the right side of the
question Of temperance, if made pos

Resolved, That while we hope and
labor for prohibition by law of the sale
Of liquors, we as Good Templars should
make our main work one of social and
moral influence, TO save fallen human
ity.

Grant and Finance

Since tie veto Of the Imitation Bill,
the ire Of The opposition has been
aroused. To be sure some of the
mere honest members Of the press Of
that parry sustained the President,
looking first to the welfare of the

or faction.
Mere recently Grant has given to
Senator Jones of Nevada his views

Jones mas pat in. the forra Of a ''mem-

logic almost taultless, and many who
had come to look upon the president
as a great general only, are ready to
acknowledge what many were slow to
comprehend chat he was an able inan-

WHAT Mr.. JOY CAN DO IN THE WAY
OF SYALWART LETTER WRITING.

Tomah, Wis. June 10.-THe fol
lowing letter from James T. Joy, pres
ident OF the Michigan Central Railroad.
TO T. Q, Wyatt, E<l, chief engineer
OF the Wisconsin Valley Railroad Co..
will be read with interest in connection
with the pending railroad controversy
in this state:
Detroit. June 81. 0. Wyatt, Esq,
Chief Engineer, Tomah, Wis. - by
Dear Sir: I am Just home from Bos
ton and New York. where | have been
mainly to make the effort to extend the
Wisconsin Valley Road to Wausau
Since | saw you and authorized you to
say that We would extend the road be
y0ld hnowIton, the act Of the Legis
ldt1Fe Of Wisconsin regulating the rates
anA Ilres at which business may be
done on the railroads Of that state has
pe9n Published ana become known to
the world The effect has been such
as to render it almost, if not quite,
impossible to induce capitalists t. put
money into that kind of property in
the state at present, and it may in con
sequence be wholly out Of orr power to
accomplish the extension. find ali
capitalists discouraged and almost hope
less as to the future Of railroads in your
state. They seem even to prefer to
totally lose all they have invested there,
rather than make the effort to save it
by aiding the necessary Improvements
and extensions refnisit to give value to
existing property.
For myself, notwithstanding the I'M
fortunate action ST the Legislature, |
wonId do my part to make this extern
sion. SO necessary both to the country
and to the welfare OF the existing road.
ut present, however | do not see any
hope for it. The effect of the legisIa-
tjon upon the minds of those who have
been in the habit Of investing in this
species Of property has been too pro-
found and discouraging to be overcome,
apparently, and [ fear all my efforts
will be unayailing to induce others to
to act with me and push forward the
road. As | myself judge, this warfare
upon railroad property will pass away,
The public even the grangers can
not afford to cripple existing roads, or
prevent the building or completing Of
new and necessary ones They will
not like either to 90 back to the old
system Of mud roads, Or compel al the
new sections Of the state 10 forever
use them. Believing myself that this
epidemic insanity with regard to rail
roads will pass away at an early period,
and a wiser and better ana more stable
feeling will take its place, and> tia,
they will again be supported ana sus-
tanned, and be again treated with JUS,
tice and fairness, il will be with deep
re=res that [ shall be compelled (if
that shall be the case( to allow the
Wisconsin Valley Road to remain with
It's northern end at Knowlton, when is
own interests of the country north.
and the public interests require its i'm
mediate extention to Wausau.
