SIMEON n. SMALL an attorney of
some celebrity suicided in Milwaukee
last week. Mr.. Small was known to
quite number of our citizens, having
largely invested in lands, and was in
terested to quite an extent in the rail

long a period plagued our people. He
was at one time very wealthy; being
once the sole proprietor of the New

IHE DECISION or the Supreme
Court in the Wood County cases has
awakened a new interest in the result
of the contest last fall as affecting the
choice of the people for congressman.
The reform press with its usual peril
nacity is insisting that Geo. W. Cate
was legally elected, alleging that in the
counties of Ashland and Bayfield, near
y an hundred Indian votes were polled
for McDill. and that even if the legiti-
mate vote of Wood County..had been re-
turned to the state canvassers, still,
Cate would have been entitled to a
certificate of election. We reiterate
that this 'sIndian scare is only sub
terfuge-a shadow for an excuse to
put away the fraud perpetrated in
Wood County. That balf-breeds did
vote in the counties mentioned is an
doubtedly true ; but that Indians we're
allowed the privilege Of the franchise
not having severed their tribal rela-
tions, we do not believe, neither will
we till the proof shall have been pro-
duced. There are very many halt
breeds in the northern part of the
state, some Of whom have held offices
of trust and emolument. Those had
right to the ballot, and undoubtedly
they exercised that right, and like
sensible men voted for McDill.
us not true that McDill gave up the
contest as has been alleged because of
those alleged illegal votes, but rather
because he foresaw that a contest for
his rights before democratic House,
composed of ex-rebels and their smypa-
thizers, after year of litigation,
would result only in defeat, no matter
how positive may have been the testl-
mony establishing his just ana equi'a-
| BILE rights.
We have no expectancy that G. w.
Cate will surrender his seat in con-
gress that would leave him out In
tae vets standing in the rain with
Gov. Taylor. Neither have We the
! least idea that MIR McDill will attempt
to assert his rights, for the decision
of the Court does not in the least affect
the status of the case, Cate holds the
certificate of election secured by the
fraud in Wood County and McDlil
cannot 80 hehipd the assidn OF the

The Contra. Certificates.

The last State Register contains a
most scathing article condemnatory of
Gov. Taylor's action relative to the is
suing of the certificates to the Central
Road. The article was prompted by
the speech of Geo. B. Smith, who IN
making point would follow 1t up with
an inquiry for Mr. Turner Mr. Tur-
ner was absent from Portage st the
time, but replies to Mr.. Smith through
his paper in style that must be salts
factory to Geo. B. We give portions
of the article which will be good read
ing for our reform friends although the
election is a thing of the past. [ is
always customary to allow the friends
of the deceased to take the last look
at the corpse !; and we would be the
last person in the world to restrain
them
But let US suppose for moment that
there was chance for fair difference
OF opinion on the subject; then how
should Gov. Taylor have ascertained
his duty! The controversy about the
certificates had been going forward for
more than year Gov. Washburn
had had the same question before him,
and alter long and patient inyestiga-
ton OF the case, he had refused to give
an unqualified certificate to the Central
Company, ard he reported his action
to the Legislature when Il assembled.

Resolred, That committee of
three be chosen, one from Wolf River,

Black River, who shall adiudge all

be no appeal.
Pending discussion, the following
resolution was introduced by Hon. L.
B. Scott, of Grand Rapids.
Whereas, The want of organization
and information among lumbermen
throughout the United States has been
the prime cause of the continued over
production of lumber, be it

probation the effort being made by the
National Lumbernen's Association for
