Am Outside Opinion,

The happiest city in the State to day
is Watertown. The citizens ticket was
elected by four hundred majority over the
oummers, communists, and regulators,
and some arrangement will be Immediate
ly made for the settlement ofthe bonded
debt, and Watertown will enjoy prosperity
she has never known. All honor 10 the
brave men who stood up before the COM
mune, and defended themselves. The blow
they struck Fred Miller was the lucliest
blow ever struck in Waterlown.-La

When the votes were canvassed Tuesday
night of last week number of very lame
ducks among the candidates for Supervisors
were revealed in different parts of Jefferson
County. First there came the invulnerable
Ex-senator w. w. Woodman. and the
coming man in his own estimation for the
next nomination for state Senator He
would return to Jefferson as Supervisor
for his act in voting to saddle that little
additional tax OF six thousand dollars on
US IN aid OF the county Jail building. As
to the unquestionabeness of his election he
pointed his admring friends to the fact
that in The caucus he received the nomi-
nation by two-thirds vote. But on cleo
ton day his well trained constituents
demurred, land instead of the Ex-senator
elected his youthful opponent named
Cramer, with as little work as it is to roll
off log. We understand in poll of nearly
three hundred votes "W. W. Woodnlan for
supervisor got eighty votes. An
other notable case of departing greatness
occurred In the town of Sullivan where
Earl Newton lives, the late supervisor from
that town. He voted for the six thousand
dollars extra" and would like to 90 back
to see Charlie through on the little JOB;
but the caucus was inexorable and nomi-
ted another man for supervisor, who was
elected and who will probably see to it
that the peoples rights are protected To
appease Mr.. Newton, however, he was
placed on the ticket for one of the Justices
of the Peace, and, will you believe it, the
voters cleaned out Earl even for Justice,
notwithstanding every other man on the
ticket was elected2 Mr.. st Paal Seeley,
had strong hankerng to be reelected
Supervisor from ''ye' ancient town of
Aztalan, and although a good neighbor
friend, ETC., yet the, odor of that vote to
pay eighteen thousand dollars for a twelve
thousand dollar jail, was too nauseating
for the nostrils of the people Of bis town,
auu lie WAS carefully bundled up, throw
into corner and another, man took his
place
There is also long list of aiders and abet-
tors to the Jail nde throughout the
county who sought endorsement through
the caucuses, but were slaughtered in the
house OF their friends, and set aside till
more convenient season, all showing that the
people of Jefferson County have set their
face against this attempt to rob the county
treasury. The more this county Jail con-
tract business is enquired into the more in
famous it becomes. In the light of the
true facts in the case but few are found
audacous enough to stand up and defend
the swindle.

Butter and Cheese Premiums.

W. D. Hoard, who is high authority on
the subject, says that Wisconsin is going to
beat the Union'in its display of butter and
cheese this year. The State Agricultural
Society has offered the largest premiums
for these products ever given in any COM
mon wealth heretofore. And yet some cit

Consistent unto the End,

The Union Leaguers have not been very
patient nor agreeable unto death, and be-
fore delivering up the seals have eynced
a disposition to make all the mischief
possible. City Clerk Devy resigned last
Monday morning, if it can be called a re-
signation, not having resigned to the
mayor, as the charter says. This he done
to avoid canvassing the vote of the charter
election of the 9Th inst. Consequently no
canvass has been made which it is hoped
by our Union League friends will create
serious muddle and stop the wheels of
city government. But the board of alder
men elected are not the style of men to be
easily frightened, and are possessed OF the
material that will readily remove all OBJ
stacles that may be thrown in their way.
In such hands the welfare of the city may
be considered safe, and we may expect to
hear of the city government being
in running order before long.

4 Dastardly Transaction.

A short time since a number of letters
containing vile and filthy informant ion to
females were distributed through the Post
office to the daughters of some of our most
respectable citizens. Of course at the time
OF delivery the nature of these missiles
were unknown to the post Office employees,
but their contents soon got noised abroad
and the next thing was to find out the
author Of the outrage. The preparation
of the crime was traced to one John Lynch
of this city, who for the sake of kind
widowed mother, ought to be ashamed to
be caught in such nefarious business.
Lynch made bis headquarters in Milwaukee
and assumed the name of B. S. Vegauue.
A registered letter sent from here to him
was the means of caus ing his arrest. When
the letter arrived in Milwaukee Lynch was
at OconomoWoc and ordered the letter
forwarded to him from Milwaukee, When
he called for the letter deputy sheriff Pat
terson, of aukesha county, was on hand
to arrest him under warrant from the O.
S. Marshal at Milwaukee, ard the duty was
promptly carried out by the official. Lynch,
alias fegaune, was taken into the United
States District Court at Milwaukee last
Saturday for a hearing. The information
fled against him charged him with deposit
ting letters containing a scheme to pre-
vent conception and he pleaded guilty, ask
ing the favorable consideration of the court.
Judge Dyer then sentenced him to pay
fine Of $500 and all the costs of the act on,
and to be committed to the county jail un-
til the fne was paid. 5g r.ya

Editor Republican
The following is from a communication
to the "Oconomowoc Local, of April 9th,
and signed H. Finn
While crossing the bridge few days
ago, noticed F. P. Brook pacing hastily in
front of the peanut stand, his face wearing
a look of anxiety, Redeemed to the nose
his eyes cast down on the side walk, as if
eager to gaze on neutrality-suspicious. he
thought some little girl had lost a penny
and he might find it. Again, a day or so
after, saw him ON the bridge all glee, full
of hope and apparent gladness. I thought
he had found the penny and was happy.
On seeing the Watertown Republican | con
cluded it was the extreme effort lie put
forth to produce his rotten-egg talsehoods
that gave him the sad look, and his oy
was the reflection of having produced his
theme. He claims Fl. Finn to be crazy.
His evidence would probably be H. Finn
has been offered large brides if he would
leave the League and join the Debt Asso,
citation he should have taken it; we have
beat him in trades, tried to scare him, and
now threate his heretofore fair name; but
he won't sell, scare or drive; he must be
crazy.
Mr.. Editor: submit the foregoing as ad-
dltional evidence to prove my previous
charge that H. Finn is crazy, and that the
proper authorities should take legal meas
ures to prevent his harming himself or 9TH
