Our HarbOr BuOys,

The Cheboygan harbor channel is now
so distinctly marked out that there is no
reason for boats not C ming in the river
when they d sire to do so. There are
four barrel buoys in position at the en-
trance of the harbof, two on the starboard
side painted red, and two on the port side
painted black. The two outer buo,s are
anchored on the line of the banks Of the
channel, in water IA feet deep, natural
depth. The inner bloys are placed on the
same line, in water 10 feet deep, sfter pass
ing the buoys. on the starboard bank of
the channel is row of six piles project
lug six or eight feet above the water. Be-
sides these marks there has been put up
ranges, on the tops of which are flags, on
one red and on the other q white flag,
and at night lamps are lighted ON this
range. Crafts coming into the river will
find no difficulty if they follow the course
as shown by the ranges, or by being
guided by the buoys aud piles, leaving
the piles 30 or 40 feet to the st ,rboard.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1876.


| o. NJ. Barnes, land commissioner OF
the Jackson, Lansing, & Saginaw rail
road, has issued circular in regard to
the assessment and taxation of the lands
belonging to that company, end claims
that the taxes, as they have been hereto
fore assessed, are a great and crushing
burthen, and states that lin all the welt
settled counties of the state lands are
valued i'm the assessment rolls at no more
than third of their real value. often on
ly fourth. In many counties along the
line Of this road. north of the Saginaw
valley, the company's lands are assessed
at value which is. ON an average, higher
than the price asked for them. The
gross injustice of this will appear the
more manifest to all right-minded men.
when it is remembered that the improved
lands assessed at One-third their value
are productive and paying, while the
wild lands assessed above their value are
wholly unproductive. In looking at the
lands of the railroad company it must
also be remembered that they are not Sc
lected. A private purchaser selects of
the government lands only such as he
deems specially valuable. The railroa,
company has to take all as tney come, the
poor and worthless with the good. The
assessor should take t:,is into account.
If i'm the future the taxes are placed as
high as they have been in some towns
the year past, we shall be forced to Iefuse
payment, anu be driven to bring suit to
set them aside as we have done before.
Both the Legislature and the courts have
recognized the injustice done to us in ex-
cessive taxes"
The company own large amount of
land in this county, but as to their assess
ment and taxation heretofore we have
no knowledge. We think, however. it
would be we'll for the assessors in the
the different towns where these lands
are located to take into consideration the
above in making up their assessment rolls.

The schooner G. G. Trowbritge, Cap
tain Bullen, arrived Sunday morning
bringing in a partial cargo of supplies
for G.. p. Langtlon, and loaded with ce-
dar post from Mr.. Langdon for Chicago
She cleared and started for Chicago
Wednesday. The Trowbridge was the
first vessel to arrive for cargo this
season, and was one of the last to leave
here last fall.
We understand vessel loaded with
grain went ashore last Satur-
day night, short distance above this
place, during the fog that prevailed, but
was taken off without much damage.
The tugs Truscott and Maud Sammons
brought tow of timber across Mullet
lake, reaching the river last Monday
morning.
The Bismarck was successfully launch
ed last Wednesday morning, and we un-
derstand works splendidly since the re-
cent improvements made upon her. She
is improved very much in appearance.
The TruscOtt has been engaged towing
square timber from up the river.
The st. Joe. arrived yesterday morning,
early, we'll loaded with freight, which
she discharged at this port, and also a
number of passengers. She remained
about three hours, and then proceeded to
Mackinaw. ss
The bark Cavalier arrived yesterday
morning, and is loading square timber for
the Quebec market.
F. M. Sammons is progressing with the
work OH his scow, it being all completed
but the bow. They will probably have
her ready to launch by the latter part of
next week.
The yacht North Star has made num-
Der of trips between this place and the
Island this week.
The steamer Marine City arrived this
morning with considerable amount of
freight and quite number of passen-
gers.

The Telegraph Cable.


1t is we'll known to our citizens that
the telegraph cable across the straits has
been broken for some time. Last week
parties came up on the st. Joe. for the
purpose of repairing the break, but upon
graphing for the cable and getting it up
they discovered that there was about a
half mile of the cable missing. and of
course without the missing portion moth
ing could be done towards repairing it.
1t was necessary to send to New York
for new cable, which will take a week
or two to procure. In the meantime ali
kilograms for the upper peninsula have
to be sent by the way of Chicago. AS
soon as the cable can be had from New
York it will be relaid.

THE RAILROAD.
The Marquette & Mackinaw
Railroad at Last Assured.
The Contract Let, Signed and Bonds
Given-Work to be Commenced
SOOn-The Marquette Com.
pany the Contractors.

At last the construction of the Mar
quette e. Mackinaw road is assured. The
readers of the TRIBUNE are aware that
since the failure of the company of east
ern capitalists to close contract for the
building Of the road. the Marquette COM
pany, the original contractors for its con-
struction, have been negotiating with
reference to taking the contract OH the
basis of their original bid (; which propo-
sitiOn has been under consideration on
the part of the State Board for some
weeks past. Last Monday tho Board OF
Control held the adjourned meeting NEIL
toned in the TRIBUNE Of last week, at
which meeting satisfactory adjustment
of the minor difficulties between the in
terested parties was reached, and the
contract WAS awarded to the Marquette
company, and signed by all the mem
bers of the State Board, on the part of
the state, and by Mr.. w. l.. Wetmore,
president of the company, OH behalf Of
the company. Bonds to the amount of
100000 was given for tho complete and
satisfactory performance Of the contract.
1t is understood that the company will
perfect their arrangements for going to
work with rs little delay as possible, and
that every effort will be made to con-
struct it as rapidly as can be done. The
construction will be commenced from
both ends of the line, in accordance with
the requirements of the State Board. We
congratulate the citizens of the northern
portion of the state OH the fact that this
long needed railroad is at last certain
ty, and that the efforts of Chicago par
ties to retard its construction have been
thwarted.
The indications are that the roads III
the southern peninsula will soon be
pushed forward to the straits, and thus
by the completion of these roads in the
upper and lower peninsulas the two Sec
tions of the state will be more closely
united. and the more rapid settlement of
this northern section and consequent de-
velOpment of its resources be greatly
aided.

Last Tuesday night vessel loaded
with corn in passing through, the straits
on her way down was so badly damaged
by the ice as to cause her to leak badly,
necessitating her procuring the assistance
of steam pump to enable her to 60 on
her trip. She stopped opposite our har-
Dor and was taken liz charge by the
wrecking tug I4eviathan, Wednesday
morning. Had there been dry dock at
this point it would have been of great
advantage TO her, and saved the owners
the expense of the use of the pump and
tow. The name Of the vessel we did

be at least twenty-five cottages erected.
which will be occupied during that meet

Lumber Prospects.

Speaking of the prospects for the lum
ber trade in the valley, the Courier says
'There are a large number of buyers il
the market, prices for lumber and shingles
are well sustained, and the prospects art
certainly very encouraging. Tie mills
are starting much later than usual, which
with the large shortage in the stock O.
logs, can but result i'm better times fol-

progress may be slow but it is sure, an(

The Republican party.
Who is responsible for the bad condi-

The Republican party.
Who has failed, though in possession of
absolute power, to take any practical
steps toward specie payment?
The Republican party.
Who has failed, though eleven years
have passed since the rebellion was put
down, to restore peace and quiet to the
country?
The Republican party.
Who now threatens to wipe out civil
authority and to establish military govern
ment in the south?
The Republican party.
To hear Republicans talk about the
Democratic party, one would think that
the position of parties has been reversed
tor the past ten years-that the Demo
Gratis instead Of the Republicans were re-
sponsible for the taxation and extravaganza
which has oppressed the people, and for
the disagreement, frauds and thievery
which have disgraced the nation. The
impudence of the Republican leaders is
only excclled by their ability to screen
thieves known to be guilty, aud to squan
