Meeting Of the County Board.

The Conpty Board met last Tuesday
and Immediately adjourned till the an.
nual meeting in November. This IN,
called for. and aud wholly unwarrn,ed
action of the County's servants is, to
say the least unbusinesslike and IN
lust. We understand that Mr.. Hiles
arose aud stated that he had left the
bills which were before the Committee
on Claims, of which committee ne Is
Chairman, at home and consequently
ne business could be proceeded with,

AN EFFORT having been made to
impeach Col. Farr, and impugn his
motive in exposing the Cottage Grove
bounty swindIe Of Gov. Taylor, his old
friends and citizens have come to his
defense in the following testimonial of
character. We confess, we must look
upon Col FAIR as a long way from an
upright man in joining hands with
Gov. Taylor in the preparation of SO
infamous a swindle, but Taylor is the
man whe is running for Governor, and
not Farr.:

The County SUPPLEMENTARY.

AS we expected, the enemy are
spreading broadcast their lies to the
effect that Mr.. Garrison is intending,
and has made arrangements to remove
to Florida that if elected another
party viii perform the duties Of the
Office : that Mr.. Garrison is addicted
to the Flowing bowl &c, &c. This
last falsity, we are informed, Mr.. Pow
ers is ciroulatin g extensively. We are
authorized by Mr. Garrison to state
that these rumors are al false. L
elected, Mr.. G. Will attend to the du-
ties Of the office in person. He is on
the track and all the lying of his OPP
ponents can't buck him off.

A FEW weeks age we made mention
of little playfulness OF the part Of
Gov. Taylor when he was Chairman
of the Dane Co. Board Of Supervisors,
when he skinned brother members
nose and s.put head on him. be-
cause he wanted time to investigate
the Poor House business Of which in
stitution honest Bill was Superintend-
ent. Many have supposed that the
story had no foundation, that it was

The Reform press is striving hard
to explode as they term it, the sto-
ries of Gov. Taylor's frauds and incom-
potency, but all their efforts remind
one Of a fourth OF July squib-f-z-z-z.
That's all, not bit of thunder.

vigorous article on Taylor's bounty

THE BEST joke Of the season is per-
petrated by the Milwaukee Ne,os upon
itself. There was a meeting of the
Democratic Reform Central Commit
tee at the Newhall House in Milwau-
kee last week. The next issue Of the
-Neaos came out with a double loaded
editorial headed, ''Stop That Lie, .
warming the people against story
which it was said would appear in the
Republican papers, to the effect that
the meeting had been called to consid-
er the propriety of removing Gov.
Taylor from the head of the ticket,
No such article appearing in the re-
publican papers, the conclusion is ire
sistible, that that is just what the Cen
trail Committee did think of doing.
Probably the Governor. who was pres
ent, kicked against the proposition,
and maybe adopted his old line OF pol
icy which proved so efectual with the
Dane County Supervisors; but then
the members of the committee, and
even "Jack" BrundageNyho was one OF
the confdeats, don't seem to have
black eyes. A good joke the hon

practical solution Of the water supply
question for the residence portion of

enough water to supply the steamer
with two streams for three quarters of
an hour. This is long enough for any

would be ample. It is estimated that

At a meeting held to day of the creditors of

Indictment charging him with perjury. About
year ago a company was formed at bingham
under the name of the bingham Manufacture
ing Co., aud after being duly organized enter
ed into the manufacture of trimmings. By a
law of the Commonwealth all corporations are
REQUIRED to make oath that the capital stock has
been all paid. In conformity with this statute It
is alleged that majority of the directors, includ
ing Mr.. Strass were before justice of the
peace and made oath that the capital stock of
the company, 100000, had been paid in and
that the Treasurer held the funds. Some of
the prominent men in bingham were members
Of the corporation and on account of the good
standing of the corporators the company had
an unlimited credit and was enabled largely to
purchase materials on account. After continu-
ing the business about nine months the COM
pany failed and investigation then developed
the fact that not one dollar of the capital stock
had been paid in. The liabilities were about
$4,000, with hardly any available assets Of
liabilities $3.50, 900 were in notes which had
been given for the individual accommodation
