Flour is coming down, and wheat is not So
brisk as it has been. Yon can now get the beSi
brands of flour, at the Eagle Mills of E. B. Cav

same allowances he agreed to do on
the basis of new bonds! In the
light we have upon the subject, we
must say our verdict is Chat there is
no obligation, moral or equitable,
that can bind the Commissioners to
eonsulnmate the legally-nullifed
agreement with Beecher: but that
they are at liberty to compromise
with any creditor on the best terms
obtainable.
TO THE CITIZENS on THE Town
OF MINERAL PoINT.---I have been
creditably informed that certain par
ties are circulating very industri-
ously a report to the effect that
charged two per cent, as fees for
collecting the tax in the town of
Mineral Point, after the 20th of
Feb 1874, without any authority
from the town board.
wish to state through the TREB-
UNE to all interested parties that
all such statements are false in every
particular, and that said reports are
made only to gain votes in the com
ing election.
| wish to state further, that Mr..
Jas. SpcnsSey, the chairman of said
board, authorized me to charge two
per cent after the Goth of of Jan,
1874, and that | did not cha7Ye i
until the morning of the Goth of said
January, and that on the evening of
the 3Oth Of Jan. all the said board
OF supervisors We're in my office in
the City Hall, together with the
Town Clerk, when Mr.. Spenslev
said to me, you had better not
charge more than one per cent.
until the 20th Of Feb, aud after
that two yer cent. to which ! con
sented, and began agaiu to collect
at one per cent. | also refunded
one per cent. to parties who had
paid two during the last week in
January. And further, that on and
after the Goth Of Feb. | charged two
per cent. according to the order Of
the chairman and OF least one of the
supervisors,
! make these statements that all
who vote in our town next Tuesday
may vote understandinSly.

TIE Daa0crW informs us that
Mr.. Henry has lately settled city
bond claims to the amount of near
81 900 at 30 cents ON the dollar, and
expresses the opinion that most Of
the indebtedness will be settled at
the same rate. THIS is good news
indeed, and we record it with great
satisfaction. AS part of the same
item the Uemocr0t asks, ''why can't
the county Indebtedness be settled
Oh the same terms. The Fund
Commissioners say they failed to
settle some county bond claims be-
cause the holders had been instruct
ed by letter from the county attorneys
that they would be settled with at 60
cents and consequently refused to
take less. There are other reasons
why county bonds are held higher
than town bonds, no doubt, but this
alone answers Peck's question
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1874-04-02

THAT Peck should oppose Mr..
Coopel''s election as Mayor is very
proper, and does not surprise any
one but why he should burden his
paper with uugentlemanly appeila-
tons and personal insults toward an
opponent is not so readily compre-
hendcd. Mr.. Cooper has been an
actual resident Of Mineral Point for
eight years, yet Peck would deprive
him OF citizenship Mr.. Cooper has
taken a more lively interest in city
affairs, contributed far more than
Peck ever has or will to the deycl-
opmcnt Of her resources; yet Peck
would ostracize him. Mr.. Coop
er has brought to aud eXpend-
ed in Mineral Point thousands Of
dollars to Peck's dimes the present
year he paid a tax nearly as large
as Peck's assessment. II our neigh
boris modesty and sense of justice
were not completely overshadowel
by his zeal ii his masters cause, he
would not be guilty Of such discom-
tcous treatment Of an opponent
Whatever the result Of next Tues
days election may be, we think the
votes win show that at least q re-
spectacle number Of the citizens Of
Mineral Point, do not endorse the
DcuocsafS opinion of Mr.. Cooper.
The Butterwich Patterns ale PRo-
nounced perfect by all ladies who

Independent Caucus.

All Independent voters of the
Town of Mineral Poiut are request
ed to meet in caucus at the Town
Hall next Saturday, the 4th day of
April, at l. o'clock NJ, for the pur-
pose of nominating an independent
ticket, to be put IN the field the
coming election. MANY VOTERS.

AS was to be expected, much in
terest is taken this spring IL the
election Of City Assessor. The op-
posing candidates for this Office are
discussed vigorously, and no doubt
each will be battled for manfnlly at
the polls. We do not agree with
those who claim that Ehe election of
Tramel will insure light assessment
to one class and heavy to another /;
neither do we agree with those who
set up the same objection to Healey.
From our knowledge Of the men we
are satisfied that no matter which is
elected, a better assessment than for
many years will be made. There
seems to he an apprehension that
Mr.. Healey, having made bitter
complaint against the last ASSESS
ment, will be preiudiced against
those whom he deems were too
lightly assessed, and will discrimi-
nate against them. We fear no
such result, but believe that ii elect
ed, Mr. Healey viii, to the best Of
his ability, do justice to all, rich or
poor Further, the Board OF Re-
view, this year, viii DOUBTLESS be
more careful than ever, and people
win more generally attend the equal
ization session; SO. al may resi- as
sured that no such serious errors as
heretofore complained Of viii be
found in the next assessment roll.

reports Of those who were present.
it seems that the caucus on Monday
Ievening was not perfectly harmon
iouS, and no more free from ring
influence than the one on the DIST
ult. I'm the one Brother Peek saw
ring as big as IA catwheel, in the
other mystic circle of equal di-
mensions is said to have been visible
to the naked eye of even short-sight-
ed men.
The caucus named for Mayor Mr..
Samuel Jcnkin, a longtime resident
of the city; and an upright man
who has heretofore filled creditNbly
public offices, and vho viii no doubt
do SO again if elected.
Philip Weidcnfeller, having been
nominated for City Treasurer 10y
the first caucus, declined TO be
candidate for the second, and Thos.
Mankec received the nomination.
Mr.. Mankee is said to possess ample
qualifications to perform the duties
of the office.
John p. Tramel was nominated by
acclamation for Assessor. If elected
we doubt not he would make good
officer. VIM, j. lIcaly is his oppo-
.nent.
Capt. Tom Priestley, the nomi-
nee OF the first caucus, for School
Superintendent, was also nominated
by the second. We don't bet against
him.
For Supervisor, in the Ist Ward,
James Hutchison was placed in
nomination. Being the opponent of
Major Clowney, the ward is sure of
securing II good representative on
the County Board
Mr.. John Gray was named rs tho
candidate for Alderman in tho lst
Ward. Mr.. Gray ha, never before
to our knowledge been a candidate
for office. If elected he would make
a good member of the Council. His
opponent is J. Y. Mayhew, in whose
favor as much can be said.
Alfred Bishop was nominated for
constable, but we understand de-.
cliucs the honor.
IN the I'd Ward, Cyrus Lanyon,
ESQ, N, the nominee for Supervisor.
he is unohjectionabe personally,
and possesses ability to make an
efficient supervisor. Unfortunately
for him, he is law partner Of the
attorney Of Lathcr Beccher, while
Dr. Vivian has no such entan ding
ulliaIltc.
William Uren, the opponent Of
VIII n. Curry for Alderman, is one
of the best meu in the bloody Sec
ond, which iusurcs a good officer for
that precinct, whichever wins.
Hugh Connaughton was Of course
nominated for Constable, and having
no opposition will prodabiy be
elected.
OF this ticket, as Of the other, we
can bat say the hcpersonnelis is generally
good. The real issue before the peo-
| pie is, "what eie,cS touching city and
county government shah prevail
not what men shall be elected.

IT is true that Judge Mills in
formed Mr. Cooper's lawyers that
he should decide against them !;
nevertheless they announced their
willingness 10 go to trial, but the
city attorneys declined, and swore
it over to the fall term at the ex-
pensc of the city. Why they should
do so we don't understand; and
surely, having done so, it is not fair
to charge the opposition with sad
ding additional expense on the city,
as Peck does.

W. E. LINCOLN,
Chairman of Union Co. Prohibition
THE Portsmouth Tribune says:

Col. Vance makes the Civil Rights
Bill his theme. He raises the hair
on the heads of his audience by tell
ing them that the effects of the bill
will be to force the white and black
children to attend the same schools
This is just like the old Democratic
cry of ''Fathers, protect us from ne
gro husbands" There is just as
much sense and propriety In one as
the other. There is nothing IN tne
Civil Rights Bill that is not already
provided for by the Constitution Of
Ohio. and nothing to prevent separate
schools for colored children. The
Colonel appeals to his hearers to elect
him, so he can oppose the passage of
the bill. He forgets that Mr.. Bundy
will be the member of Congress for a
year vet, and in that time the Civil
Rights Bill will be disposed Of The
Colonel had better take some other
theme. He doesn't hold good hand
for the game he is trying to play. s

A TOUCHING marital item comes to
us from the West. The blushing
bride locked her chamber-dOOr, as
soon as she retired after the ceremony,
and made no answer to the pleading
appeals of the husband that it should
be opened unto him. How he passed
the night doth not appear; but, on
the next morning, when the carriage
drove up that was to bear them on
their wedding tour, he stole quietly
down stairs, and drove hastily off
alone. He visited all the summer re-
sorts that they had laid out for their
honey moon, and upon returning a
fortnight later, found that the door
was open.
