Those who doubted that Governor
Washburn was opposed, and W. Il
Taylor supported by the Railroad
Influences of the State, can now
doubt no more. 1t will be remem-
bered that Gov. Washburn refused
to issue certificates to the Wisconsin
Central r. r. Co., by which the cor
poration could secure over million
acres Of public lands. The refusal
was based on the opinion that the
Company had not complied with the
terms Of the Charter; in which
opinion the Governor was sustained
by the Attorney General and Legis-
lative Railroad Committees Of last
winter. This action of Governor
Washburn, while it saved the peO-
pie from q great robbery, incensed
the railroads, and contributed large
" to his defeat. If there is a man
in Wisconsin whom railroad COM
panies and other monopolies hate
and fear, that man is {. {. Wash
burn. In his defeat they saw their
triumph; and with the aid OF the
liquor interest they accomplished
their purpose.
Immediately on the inauguration
of Gov. Taylor the same demand
was made Of him that his predeces-
.or had refused to accede to-for
certificates to 100000 acres of the
best public lands in the state. For
some time his EXcellency hositated,
and it was hoped he would prove
tue to his trust and to the interests
of the people. But alas! The rail
roads were his friends to them he
owed his election. The pressure
thus brought to bear upon him was
too great and to his everlasting
disgrace to the chagrin of the hon
est men who had aided his election ;
to the disadvantage Of the people to
the extent of millions Of dollars; he
yielded, and affixed his name to the
fatal documents. What say the
people now TO our oft-repeatcl as
sertion, that the so-called Reform
Party is the Monopolist party, and
Gov. Taylor but Il cats paw to draw
railroad chestnutS out Of the fire .

On account Of the high price Of
barley $500 per bushel,) and of
hops, the brewers Of Milwaukee an
uOlmce their intention Of advancing
the price of Lager from $40 to ST.
per barrel. Whereat the saloon
keepers Of that city are greatly in
censed The more they talk the
matter over the more desperate they
are becoming. Standing between
three hres-thc praying women, the
brewers, and their patrons-~they
feel that they must do something,
and u mass meeting OF the saloon
keepers has been held. They
claim that the brewers have made
an immense amount Of money III
Milwaukee, and they cite the large
brewelies and pa!atial houses that
these brewers have built within the
past few years, worth several million
dollars, and the fact that some OF
the brewers have retired on indie
pendent fortunes, as proof of their
assertions. They also claim that the
brewers did not lower the price OF
beer when barley sold for 90 cents
per bushel and hops for 20 cents
per pound, and no demand was made
upon them to do so. a cores
pondont learns that several saloon
keepers intend, il the brewers insist
on their raised price, to sell wine
instead of beer, and to sell it at D
cents per glass. A large number OF
their patrons who are tired at pres
eut, and indignant at the brewers,
have signihed their attention OF
drinking wine altogether, and thus
do away, in great measure, with
the sale and consumption OF beer.

A BILL having passed the assem-

Wisconsin Central, George Reed and
his friends rush to the executive
office and persuade the Governor to
violate his agreement before this
bill on any other can limit bis ac-
ton. This act is unparalleled for
ctirontery and duplicity in this or
any other state, if we may except
that Of Louisiana. Gov. Taylor has
now made the name Of Gov. War

His last act has robbed the people
of this state Of over 100 miles OF
roal and of a connecting line from
Green Bay, Oshkosh, Sheboygan,
Fon du Lac and Ripon with the

HH" the Ring d mssn guilty of Dis


Now and then some one asks,-do you
know OF any distinct acts of dishonesty
for their own enrichment practiced by
IN embers of the City Ring7 We answer
that we have never heard any positive
charges, backed by such evidence as
would Justify US In making them public,
that this or that member Of the Ring had
stolen so much money from the City
Treasury. This much is known, how
ever, that Mr.. Henry F. Pickles was long
az o shown to have used his official POSI-
ton and influence 10 secure contracts for
his foundry by putting In a bid by his
foreman, which bid was not to be opened
unless Mr.. Plckels' bid on his own name
did rot secure the contract. This was
charged and proven by Mr.. Edward
Belts. Again Ii is known that Mr..
Pickles used his official position to secure
TO himself the payment of money TO him
by the city long before II was due, being
assisted 10 this effort by other Ring mem
bers of Council. Though this was not
stealing from the city II was taking an
unfair advantage of the city and of its
other creditors, and using his official
position for his own advantage aud en-
richment.
Again, we do know that The Hing has
multiplied Offices under the city govern
ment and used Its power of employing
labor. with a view slngly to sustaining
itself in power without regard to the
public Interests, which should alone
control the creating Of offices and the
employment Of labor at the public ex-
pense. The direct and evident object of
the Ring is sustaining its members in
their hold on public offices, and we do not
zee that this indirect method Of using
public money to give men employment
on condition that the men employed
work TO aid the Ring in controlling
nominations, differs materially or morally
from approprlaling public money TO pay
the election and bribery expenses of fac
ton, or the direct appropriation Of the
public money 10 the private use and
benen. Of the office holders, whose
private interests the whole roundabout
proceeding is ultimately to promote.
Again, we charge that the carelesf-
ness, incompeteney and indifference oil
the Rings management arc solely charge
able with the late serious deialcatlon in
the City Treasury, for It's long conceal
ment, and for the prolongatlon Of sach
concealment by a slow and hating inyes-
tigstlon, which makes II impossible even
at this late day to say, positively, how
much the loss is, and whether or not the
loss will ultimately fall on the sureties oil
the defaulter or on the tax payers Of this
city. The iucompetency and indifference
displayed concerning this grave offence
against public morals are, In Themselves,
sufficient to show that The Ring, if moi
dishonest, either lacks the ability or the
desife to punish dishonesty, and should
offer a sufficient reason for the union o.
all good citizens without regard to party
iostCure It's overthrow.

Henry Ward Beecher's statement before
the committee investigating the charges
Of Theodore Tilton against him,is printed
in full in the New York papers this
morning. II occupies tSelvc Of the
7riJtas's broad columns, In small type,
and We lind Il impossible to even lay an
abstract of 1t before our readers. We can
say, however, from a 9rst hssty reading,
that it reads like an innocent and long
suffering mans passionate protest against
the impuiatlon OF a sin he hates, and it
Is the best explanation that could possibly
be given of the singular letters Tilton
quoted
Mr. BeCcher says, In substance, that
after long trying to save 11lton from his
own folly it was suddenly brought to
his knowledge by Mrs. Tilton that her
husband had treated her with the utmost
cruelty, and been shamelessly and IA
GRAVITY unfsiihful 10 her. Mr.. Tillon's
views in tie Independent had caused a
difficulty between Mr.. +. and Mr.. Bowen,
and Mr.. Bowen had Instituted some in
yostigations which convinced him OF
Tlton's gross immortality of conduct, and
these proofs he submitted TO Mr.. Beechcr,
who was also convinced by them aud did
reluctantly advise his dismissal from the
Independent aul also his wife's separation
| from him.
Shortly after tits there fell upon him
like thunder clap the frightful charge
OF lis own immoral proposal 10 Mrs.
! TiIton, which he found she had sane
TONED She admitted to him that she
had done so, said Theodore had forced II
from her and voluntarily wrote the re-
traction, which Moullon subsequently did
obtain from him again in an interview ii
when he displayed pistol. In o sub
scquent interview MoultOn convinced hiu
that the circumstances which had lee
him (Beecher) 10 believe in Tilt0n'i
immortality did notiwarrant that belief
and also that Mrs. TiltOn's undue low
for her pastor was the. one thing which
had produced discOrd in that house. Mr.
Moulton directly charged him with thu
destroying the peace OF his former friend
household and taking from him his lel'
Of labor, his hopes, and his bread, an,
Nr. beecher says he believed him
believed he had unconsciously won ava
Tilton's Wife's love and listened t
ISLANDERS against him, and in an agony q
remorse he spoke words which Moultol
noted down, and which he, alter muc
solicitation, put his name to.
His defence is circumstantial m
elaborate denial OF any thought or wor
Of an improper character toward Mn
riton, and bold accusation again
Tllton and Moulton as conspirators
ilackmail him. II opens the issue iroi
anew standpoint, and makes both the
men now defend themselves by uIquc
tionable pSof, or else 60 down to postc
ity as shameless liars and villains. Fl
the first time since the affair begun thei
seems a possibility that Beecher may
J. entirely innocent il be ia not entire
guilty.
