COL. FAIRS STATEMENT,
COTTAGE GROVE, WIS,
Sept. Doth, 1875.

nature OF GEORGE Is. carter, ES4o
of P.atteville, Wis, stating a con-
versation / had with him nearly
eleven years ago in relation to filling
the ouota of the town of Cottage
Grove, Dane county, Wis, and ask
ing certain questions and demanding
me to make answer thereto.
AS the subject of that CONVEX
sation will evidently become a mat
ter Of public notoriety and comment,
and fearing that my connection with
it may be misrepresented, and as /
am to be absent from the State for
two months or more, and my con-
nection with the transaction herein
after stated has already been the
subject Of criticism, | deem it best
ut the outset to give to the public
an accurate and true statement of
the whole transaction. This is due
to myself, and furthermore it is not
my desire to withhold or conceal
from my friends and neighbors OF
the town of Cottage Grove, any of
the facts relating to this matter, in
which they have personal interest,
having resided there for q period of
over twent three years.
The following is statement of
the facts:

That at the same time the said Car

service, and made his headquarters
a portion of the time, at the said

Mali Mafters,

A few weeks since the citizens Of Now Or
leans made great effort to induce the Post
master General to order daily mail service
between that point and Red River Landing.
1t was represented that it would be OF very
great advantage to all the business interests
of that section; that merchants, cotton fac
tors and commercial agents generally de-
sired it. Petitions were forwarded, the
Chamber of Commerce passed resolutions
favOring it. and every measure that could
be thought of was resofted TO to bring
about the ordering Of the service.
The department, desiroue of furnishing all
the mail facilities that are absolutely neces.
sary. felt constrained to take some action
IN the matter, and. as preliminary step,
directed that all tho mail matter paesin q
between those points should be weighed for
thirty consecutive trips.
The result of the first fifteen trips Ia,
Just been forwarded to the department.
from which it appears that only ninety
pounds of letters were forwa -det for the
entire fifteen DAYS, and only S77 pounds Df
miscellaneous matter in the same time.
There are now two trips week and on,r
twelve pounds of letters are sent. If /.
daily service should ba ordered only ,vp
pounds day would PASS over the route
and the service would cost the government
$1,000 per annum, the department declines
to grant the request for daily service, not
quite agreeing with the petitioners tba' q
great necessity exists for it. Il is unite
likely that the whole project originated with
come contractor who desired the contract
tor carrying the mails. Washington lssbe.e.

party as the grandest triumph Of cOnstitu-

when, afterward. during the administra-
ton of General Grant, the membership of
that court having somewhat changed, the
court decided by majority OF one, that the
issue OF greenbacks during the war. under
pressure of national military necessity, was
constitutional. the Democratic party. with
one accord, throughout the United States,
declared that the decision was corrupt. and
that the court had been packed by PresI.

will remember that, during the canvass

opinions upon that subject. Only the

serted in the strongest terms. that as a
member OF Congress he had opposed the
issue of green backs in 1862, because they
we're unconstitutional. that he had never

Mr.. Bayard, and beliey every Democratic
member Of the Senate, have from time to

greenbacks legal tender, charged that the
Supreme Court by which the decision was
made was packed. although the decision
went no further than holding that Congress

Teaching children COURAGE.

Courage is a vital element to Christian
chivalry. Without it indeed neither
truth nor fidelity 70 promise can be hoped
for. The coward is sure to lie when
truth means punishment, and sure to re.
treat from his engagements when they in.
volVe peril. We need valiant souls that
have learned to endure and scorn pain,
and to lace danger fearlessly and prompt.
~ when duty requires. Some parents
eVade this vital part Of training by gloss
es and deception. A mother who had IA.
ken her boy to the dentists to get a tooth
out will often say, II he is shrinking,
"Sit still, my boy; 1t won't hurt you.S
Now, she knows it will hurt him, but
thinks II she can only get him by this de.
vice to sit still and let the dentist get
hold Of the tooth, then his discovery Of
the pain will not hinder its extraction.
This Is a double mistake. 1t destroys her
boys confidence in her; for he detects her
IN lie. And though It gets the boy this
time 70 sit still, 1t IA under the delusion
that there is to be no pain, whereas he
