OLD SETTLERS OF CRAw FoRD.-The
early pioneers of our neighboring coun-
ty of Crawford. will hold their third
annual reunion in Prairie du CHEN on
Saturday of this week. Judge Mills
is expected to deliver an address on
this occasion. The Judge was, we be-
lieve, imported to Prairie du Chen
from Kentucky, about the year 1887,
TO teach the children Of Zachary Tay-
Tor and other officers at Fort Crawford
Although he had an easy time and a
good salary he didn't like to stay. He
could cat almost anything, bu tcouldn't
quite stand Taylor's fare-old pork
rind with the bristles on. That was
too much for the then young Joe, and
shortly after Taylor got him a clerk
ship in the Quartermaster's department..
The Judge resided at the Prairie
number of years thereafter, and then
took residence at Lancaster, where he
has since remained. His. address to
the pioneers Of Crawford will doubt.
less be interesting. The descendants
of the old stock who originally settled
in Prairie du Chien-manY of them
are yet residing there, and are able to
furnish volume of information re-
speeding the trials and incidents of pi-
oneer life and settlement of the West.

DEMOCRATIC journals in this State
have had much to say about the popu
lar vote at the general election of las
year, always claiming of course that a
majority Of the votes then cast were
Democratic. Indeed,a well-laid scheme
to carry this conviction home to peo'
pie generally was matured by the ring
leaders of that party ,and the blue-book
compiled by Gov. Taylor's son-in law,
under the supervision of Mr.. Peter
Doyle, Democratic Secretary Of State,
was tempered with and falsifed in or
der to prove that the Republicans were
in the minority last fall This result
was reached by giving the vote Of the
previous year, instead of the vote of
1s74,in fifteen Assembly districts, thus
reducing the Republican majority in
the State on Assembly to 95l, whereas
the official returns show it to be actu
ally 3107.

GEN. SHERMAN, in his memoirs, at
tompts to transfer the credit of the
campaign which resulted in the
capture Of Fort Donelson from
Grant to Hallcck, not forgetting to
mention that he fisherman J suggested
the idea to Halleck. This arouses Mr.
H. Y Boynton, the veteran correspon-
dent Of the Cincinnati Gazette, who
has some personal recollections ofthese
events and rho writes With the Of
fetal records Of the War Department
at his hand. Mr.. Boynton shows that
Grant applied twice to Halleck before
he could get permission to move, and
that while Halleck was writing tt
Washington that nothing could be
done with less than 10000 men, Gram
took both forts with 10000.

best interests Of the whole party. Boil

course we wish it godspeed.

PERHAPS the most instructive chap
ters of General Shermans memoirs are
those in which he gives his experience
in the earlier days Of the war. When
on his way to lancaster, Ohio, from he
Military Academy in Louisiana, he
stopped in Now Orleans. He says,
page 1913, volume L:

A. @ Myers, who had resigned from the
army, yanu1ry %, 1851, and had accepted
services under the new regime. His office
was IN the same old room in the Lafays site

when | vas there as Commissary, with
the same pictures on the wall, and tn {
letters IT. s. on everything, including his
desk papers, &c. asked him if he did

DON'T HACK, HACK, COUGH. Couel

DON'T HACK, HACK, COUGH, COUGH,
Cough is q symptom by which various
diseased conditions of the throat, bron-
chial tubes and lungs manifest them
selves. But whether it arises from the
irritation produced in the throat and
larynx by taking cold, from an attack of
Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption
or from various other causes, nothing
will allay it more speedily or cure it
more permanently than DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does not
matter whether it be q recent attack, or
O lingering cough, the Discovery is in
either case equally well adapted for its
relief and permanent cure. In fact, it
will cure cough in one-half the time
necessary to cure it with any other med
icine, and does it, not by drying it up,
but by removing the cause, subduing
the irritation, and healing the affected
parts. No time should be lost in COM
mencing the use of q proper medicine
for the relief of a cough, for unless this
course is pursued, serious and danger
GUS disease Of the lungs is liable to re-
suit. Golden Medical Discovery is sold
by all dealers in medicines.

BaS~ The subcommittee could find nc
evidences of intimidation. Buta case il
point resulted from their investigation
J. H. Oglesby, prominent New Orleans
banker, and President of the Chamber
of Commerce, was summoned before the
committee and gave his testimony. Be.
cause he would not lie about the condi.
ton of affairs there, he incurred the hate
of the Southern Chivalry to such an ex-
tent that he was Immediately ostracised,
socially and commercially, and was obi
ged to resign his position as President Of
the Chamber of Commerce. The st.
Louis Times, referring to the matter,
says;
Mr.. J. II. Oglesby was not compelled
to resign the Presidency of the New Or.
leans Chamber of Commerce. After his
extraordinary testimony in behalf Of the
Kellogg Government, he simply found
himself in a position from which the com
mon courtesies of social life were with
drawn. Aresident and business man for
half century, he awoke to the discovery
that he was without a single acquaintance
among reputable business men, and his
bank-that had become famous as GUS
todium of commercial wealth-found it
self in single day without single de-
positor. Mr.. Oglesby was as completely
alone as if he had lived in desert. Iso-
lated and ignored by the friends he had
known for fifty years, the terrible erebuke
struck home as none other could, and he
resigned his commercial honors for
retirement To nature like
Mr.. Ogglesby's, such manifestation of
public disapproval was crushing in its
effect. He now lies at thepoint Of death.
And yet the subcommittee could find
no evidence that intimidation was used.

re- Among the Washington specials
to the Cleveland Leader, on Tuesday
morning last, we find the following. Ar
effort had been made to prevent a waste
of the public time, by dilatory motion,
and other tricks usually resorted to fol
purposes of delay, but the effort did moi
succeed:
The chief interest centered in the at
tempt Of the House TO amend the rulessc
as to prevent fllibustering. Messrs
Bundy, Gunckle, Lawrence, Munroe,
Parsons, Robinson, Sherwood and
Sprague, voted yea, while Banning Ber-
ry, Finch, Foster, Lamison, Neal, Sailor,
and Southland, voted no. Danford, Gar
field and Woodwork, did not vote
Much comment was excited among the
Ohio members by the conduct Of Foster,
in voting with the Democrats upon the
most important party measure Of the
session.

mittee 10 INTRODUCES our evidence Of in
timidation and violence upon which the
justification of the notion of the Return
ing Board rests. In my estimation the
examination of the committee was su.
Iperhcial, and not calculated to disclose
the true state of affairs in Louisiana.

tive. ."
There seems to be, therefore, direct
issue of veracity between Mr.. Foster and
Judge Dibble, upon which, of course
we have no opinion to offer. Our present
purpose is to show how and why it was
that when the subcommittee report ap
peared, giving a statement of the situa.
tion in Louisiana 80 directly ut variance
with what had been supposed to exist,
the Republican newspapers of the North,
fortified by such testimony as that oi
Judge Dibble, came to the conclusion
that the investigation had been unreason-
ably hasty and incomplete, We have
no wish to do Mr.. Foster or his commit
tee the slightest injustice, nor to distort
in the smallest degree the truth about
Louisiana. The case at best is bad
enough, and needs an immediate and
thorough remedy The full committee
is now at New Orleans, going over more
deliberately and thoroughly the task
which the subcommittee hurried
through in six days If Messrs. Foster,
Phelps and Potter were right, their re-
port will be vindicated and sustained by
evidence that cannot be questioned No
one is more ready than the LEADER tc
get at the exact truth, whatever it is,
and to do the fullest, and most impair.
tial justice to all parties concerned. -
