Only two years ago all the resources
OF our 600 blast furnaces were taxed to
their utmost to supply the demand for
iron. The product of the furnaces for
1878 was estimated at ? 500 900 tons, while
the estimated consumption of all kinds
of iron for the same year was placed by
those supposed to be most thoroughly
conversant with the business at 400, 900
tons, This year the product of the blast
furnaces will probably not exceed $780,
600 tons, if as much. The only way to
account for this state of affairs is to
frankly acknowledge that tie consump-
ton of 1878 was largely overestimated.
A fair estimate would probably have
placed it at 100000 instead of 100000
tons.-N L. Times

that no particular charges were men

If they are to investigate every

against Mr. Baker during the canvass,
(as there are always many made
against every candidate during warmly

The County Canvass.

The County Board of Canvassers,
consisting Of C. O. Baker, County
Clerk and Supervisors Roche and
Clark, have thrown out the returns of
several precincts Of this County ana
thereby, so far as the canvass is CON
cerned, defeating the taxpayers local
ticket entire. with the single exception
Of the Clerk Of the Court. At pres
ent We are not advised of the particu-
lars, but understand the reasons for
throwing out the precincts alluded to,
IS, that there we're some technical infor-
malities in the returns. The Board of
Canvassers may have done that which
technically was their duty, (and may
not J but we believe it has been Gus
tomary heretofore to count the votes,
notwithstanding technical errors in the
returns, Gas there are frequently such)
thus giving by the canvass full express
sion to the public will. As it IS well
known that the people have by a de-
cisive majority decided in favor of
Messrs. Wood, King and Gardner, we
have no idea that their opponents will
seek to prevent the wishes of the peo-
pie from being carried out-an attempt
that would not only be unjust and IN
wise, but which could not succeed.

The Shrek of Her First locomotive is
what DID it-Preparing for Jolification.
[Correspondenee Of the sontinsl.1

correspondence of the Sentinel
WAUsAU. Oct. 30.-The track
layers on the Wisconsin Valley Rail
road reached the city limits this after
noon, and laid down the first iron rail
within our city borders and the shrill
whistle of the locomotive was heard
for the first time resoundiGg throughout
the city of Wausau, announcing to her
citizens that the construction train was
but short distance behind,-in sight
and hearing of the city. That
whistle, the first that ever broke the
stiffness of this region, as it shrieked
over the hills and through the yallies
around Wausau, sounded stra NICELY,
but gloriously.
The people, though fully advised
that the work of grading and track
laying would be completed here about
this time, could scarcely realize she
fact, that this great enterprise at
least to Wausau- is now so nearly
finished, and that the strange. shrill
sound heard in our city this evening
about 6 o'clock, vibrating through the
wilderness around Wa4sau, was a
veritable whistle of a locomotive.
But nevertheless it was true and the
track of the w Y. r. r. is now with
in the city, and By tomorrow night the
work Of grading and traek-laying
will be fully completed, except some
side tracks and switches-and regular
trains will be put on for business by
the 10th of November. The energy
manifested in the construction Of this
road from Knowlton here is truly
commemorate.
The contract of construction was
let about the last days of August last
to Messrs. Thompson, Smith & Co.. of
Detroit, Mich, the work was com
menced on the LIST day of September,
and in just so days reached and en-
tered Che city limits, distance of over
20 miles. There is to be a meeting of
the citizens here, called for the pur-
pose Of making arrangements for a
grand celebration of the event, in the
way of railroad excursion and jolif-
cation. S"spt, Wyatt has arranged a
programme for the occasion.

Resol&tons against their presence along the
yellow River.
At public meeting held at Hickory
Grove, town of Necedah, Juneau Co
on the evening Of October 9th, 1874,
the following preamble and resolutions
we're unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Struggling bands OF
Winnebago Indians, lately taken to
their reservation in Nebraska, in ac-
cordance with an act of Congress, have
since returned to this ana adjoining
counties, and
WHEREAS, Sail Indians have been
encouraged to return to this state by
certain evil disposed persons Of more
or less influence, who, fer the sake of
selfish motives, advise them to stay
here, and
WHEREAS, Said Indians having free
access to whisky, are drunken, disor-
derby and frequently resort to begging
and thieving. therefore We the citizens
Of the Yellow River Valley,
ReSoited, That the presence of
these Indians in our midst is preiudi-
cial in the highest degree to the well
fare Of the settlers and detrimental to
the improvement and settlement of
this part Of the state
ReSoiret, That we will use all law
full an honorable means TO cause their
removal from our midst, and hereby
notify all persons concerned, that we
recognize the right Of no man or set
Of men to encourage these rowing vag-
abonds to trespass upon our rights as
citizens, and
R4sojoed, That, in cur opinion, those
who advise and encourage the Indians
to remain here. do so from a selfish de-
sire to promote their material interests
by the sale of whisky at enormous pro
fits and the purchase of peltry, paying
only nominal prices in cheap goods at
treble prices. and these miscreants are
the Indians worst enemies,
ResoJoed, That after thirty days
from the publication of these resolu-
tions, we will proceed to regulate this
matter in the most expeditions manner

resolutions be published in the Juneau

The Result.

The smoke of the great battle has
lifted sufficiently to enable the victors
Ind the yanquished alike to discern the
results Of the conflict which was waged
over the whole nation only SO recently.
We propose to give only the result out
side the State, without comment, in
this issue
New York has gone democratic,
clceting Sam'l J. Tilden over John A.
Xix. By majority reaching $4,000.
The democracy also gain largely in the
Legislature, that body standing Il
democrats to 81 republicans a major
tty Of fourteen for the opposition
The State Senate stands Republi-
can Is Democrats IS; a majority Of
five for the Republicans, and MAORI
ty Of nine for the Democrats on
joint ballot Some of the strongest
men, and ablest in Congress, among
which is Ellis II. Roberts of Oneida
County, are defeated.
Massachusetts gives decisive demo-
cratic majorities. Gaston's (dem ma
jority for Governor is nearly 5000.
b. I. Butler, for reelection to Con
gress, is defeated BY decisive vote
Pennsylvania has gone democratic
BY 4 small majority The Democrats
have majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature,
In Illinois either party has little to
boast Of The State is handsomely re
publican. The Inter Ocean says it
seems likely that the Opposition and
Independent Reformers combined will
have majority Of one in the State
Senate. Two of the districts from
which no returns have been received
are doubtful, and may have elected re-
publicans, in which case a majority
will be for the republicans Returns
from two-thirds Of the Legislative dis
tricts show net loss for the RepubIi-

is probable that they will retain ma

An Unpublished Letter From
Gen. Grant.

CINcfNSATI, Oct. 3O.-The Ga
zette will publish tomorrow letter
from President Grant. by his permits
sion given yesterday. The following
is the explanation of The Gazette on
the letter of the President:
In 1872, when it was found that
Grant would be renominated, the re
port was circulated that in view of the
many groundless reports as 20 his
seeking the nomination, he would de-
cline to be a candidate. So positive
were the reports upon this point that
in May, 1872, We wrote him a private
letter on the subject, to which a reply
was received which all are now per
mItted to print. This has nothing to
do with the third term, but It shows
how Grant felt with reference to tbs
first and second terms, and will serve
to disabuse the minds of those. if any
there be, who honestly believe that the
President is capable of scheming for a
nomination in 1876:

OTWITHSTANDINd THE democrats
have been successful in SO many states
south and east, the triumph in Wiscon-
sin ought to be, and we believe is, am
pie compensation for defeat elsewhere.
Last year the Reformers elected their
Governor by a majority reaching near
II $4,000. To-day the State repudi-
ates reform government by majority
approximating 1000. showing a de-
eided change in public sentiment The
result is not to be wondered at. The
administration of Gov Taylor for one
gear has had the effect to disgust think
ing men everywhere. 1t has been vas
cilating almost imbecile, We are half
disposed to say rebellious Ona direct
vote to-day between Mr.. Washburn
and Mr.. Taylor, we believe Wisconsin
would give the former majority of
$4,000. Had the administration of Gov
Dix been even partially parallel to that
of Gov. Taylor thus far, New York
would have rcpudiated him by ma
jority Of at least 100000. We do not
believe these are wild figures We do
believe that at the close Of Gov Tay.
Tors administration he will sink into
oblivion, and be known no more in the
political world forever.

How il looms Up II Wisconsin
LFrom the Fond du Lac Commonwealth

From the Fond du Lac Commonwealth
"Scooped' is word Of intense sig
n;fcance to the Democrats Of Wiscon-
sin to-day. It lost its pointed per-
sonal familiarity to them for brief
period, but has returned to its old
place in their political vocabulary.
OnhappilY, the same may not be said
Of the party in other States. The
victory here, however, is sufficiently
glorious to greatly assuage our grief
for distressing mishaps elsewhere.
Such splendid redemption Of Wis
consin from the dangerous errors of a
year ago may well warrant the fullest
rejoicing, for it heralds a complete
triumph at the next State election,
and the total rout and Punishment
from official sway of the misnamed
Reform party The result Of the vic
tory may be summed up, according to
present returns, as an election IF six
out Of the eight Congressme", and the
return Of a fair working Republican
majority in the Legislature. The
ponderous Democratic majority in the
Fourth district. we had little hope Of
overcoming, but we have reason to be
well pleased with the immense cutting
down of the Democratic vote in that
district, which presages better things
for the future; especially does the de-
feat OF Cary for the Assembly give US
cause for felicitation-it SHOWS that
even the unsGinted use Of money is not
all powerful when the people have
earnest convictions on the opposite
side. The railroad power has received
a merited re5uke in this circumstance.
Though returns do not positively in
dictate the election of Kimball in the
Sixth district, the strong probability is
that in spite Of the unpa alelled ma
jority for Bouck in Oshkosh he is de-
feated. Such result was not at all
sansuinely anticipated, and even
should it transpire that Kimball is not
elected, there need be no great surpr-
Use. The responsibility for such a re-
suit would rest upon the Republicans
Of the district, and will entitle them
to severe censure for the course that
has been pursued by portion of the
party during the campaign. The Leg
islature will have Republican ma
jority of one in the Senate, and not
less than ten in the Assembly. This is
grand victory for the people, assur-
ing them Of the maintenance of their
rights and the corresponding restraint
Of the railroad power; though it is
clear that many voters deeply interest
ed in such result have been untrue
to theiI own interests in this regard,
for we hear Of several instances where
the grangers have adhered to their own
deIusion and blindly voted with their
enemies. We DO not dorbt they will
be convinced of their serious error
before another election takes place,
when we may expect an old time Re
publican preponderance.
