sW We would judge from the following
item, which we find in the Mineral Point
Democrat of this week, that the editor oil
tina: paper has attended a temperance
meeting lately. The Democrat says:
We have always thought that the true
object of temperance meeting should be
to preach and teach temperance, instead OF
giving its speakers an opportunity of in
dulging in the ''immodcrate" abuse of all
who differ from them politically. as some
appear to believe.
No doubt the Democrat is right in the
above opinion; but isn't it little singular,
somehow, that such complaints always
come from the Democratic side?

The Reasoii.

In the Mineral Point Democrat of last
week, we fird the following statement and
question:
During the past week Mr.. Henry has
settled judgment against the city and
town of $453l.0O, and bought three
bonds amounting to So, 43002; all for 30
cents on the dollar. We think the most
of our city bond Indebtedness will be set
tied for so cents. The Question right here
arises-Why can't the county indebted
ness be settled on the same termsP
The answer to the Democrats question
is, that last summer the attorneys for
Iowa county made cothpromise with a
number of it's bondsholdsfs, agreeing to pay
them sixty-fve cents onthe dollar. This
compromise; it will be remembered, was
ruled out by the courts, and could not be
carried into effect but when our Fund
Commissioners went, recently, to see some
Of the bond-holders and make settle
ment, they found they were preceded by
letters from these attorneys announcing
their coming, and assuring the bond
holders that the Commissioners would
settle substantially ON the same basis" as
that agreed on in the compromise of last
summer.
We have no desire to say any thing to
stir up feeling on this subject. The Fund
Commissioners are engaged in settling
with the bondholders as rapidly as the
interests Of the county will admit, and we
in common with the whole people of the
county, rejoice at the prospect that
we shall soon be done with this business !;
but it strikes us as in bad taste, to say
the least, for hepersonal organ of the attor-
neys referred to above to ask such ques-
ton at this time.

any reduction in his Indebtedness. He
had resumed payments, and was pay

was frequently placed to his lips, and
he never event back" on it. The
love of stimulants grew upon him
