Lieutenant Holmes, of the United States
army, appears to us to be about the least
observant man Of this age. He was sta
toned with his company in Baton Rouge
during the past campaign and never
heard of any trouble anywhere. We pre-
sumo this officer was so much occupied
with his garrison duties that an 'earth-
quake might have reeled unheededly
away" He testified:
Have not heard complaints of an unfair
election by either party, hey ond the fact
that the Democrats expressed surprise at
majority there; in East Feliciana, before
the election, knew that meetings were
held by both parties, and everything was
conducted quietly and peaceably.
He knows that meetings were held in
East Feliciana by both parties. Every
thing was quiet and peaceable. One of
the results of the Republican meetings,
which Lieutenant Holmes omitted to
state, was that Antoine received one vote
in the entire parish, and no other Repub-
lican candidate was mentioned. Those
quiet and peaceable Republican meetings
in East Feliciana must have been rousing,
enthusiastic affairs. They were, of
course, composed entirely of Governor
Antoine's solitary friend, who conducted
himself quietly and peaceably, and his
proceedings were characterized by great
unanimity! The lieutenant explains to
the committee that he did not go much
into the country, but we infer that he was
so fortunate as to 60 always when the
Democratic bulldozers were asleep and
the sole Republican voter holding his
political meeting. And the canvass was
peaceable,

boygan matters we take from the Nunda
On. " Ne,os: ''We observe from the Che
boygan (Mich.) TRIBUNE. that or former
towpsmaii Mr.. VIM F.. DePuy, has been
chosen treasurer of the Cheboygan I'm

the funds safe and dothe business correct.
We judge from the TRIBUNE that Che

columns and exhibit a progressive spirit
Messrs. Post & VanAsdale, formerly OF
Tuscarora, are still in the hardware trade
there. We can form pretty correct idea

Another Dry Dock Prospect.

Mr.. r. j. Cerrigan arrived in town
Thursday as the representative of Mr..
Ross of Quebec to look into the feasibili-
ty ofputting in dry dock at this place.
Mr.. Corrigan has Instructions to look
over the entire ground and see what
stock, ETC., will be taken by Cheboygan
parties, and report at once to Mr. Ross.
One of the most eligible sites for the pro-
posed dosk is owned by Mr.. Ross. and as
he is MN of ample means. we think it
highly probable that if proper induce
ments, or encoumgements be given him
that he would go into the enterprise.
At any rate the public attention has been
so extensively called to the importance
ofsuch work here, that there can he
scarcely a doubt but that some one will
inauguraie the enterprise soon.

All those who are interested in the ear
" completion of the improvements COZ :
tempIated through our inland lakes and
rivers, for which the state has male an
appropriation to complete, should read
the advertisement for proposals for doing
the work which appears in another col
umn. The entire cost of thu work will
probably be from $4,000 to $4,000. The
Local Commissioner has concluded to let
the contract as whole. or to divide it
Into four divisions or separate contracts.
This will put the matter i'm such a shape
that many parties who would not feel
able to handle the entire work. can take a
smaller contract. The payment for the
work will, i'm accordance with law,b be made
instate swamp lands in the Lower PENN
sular at sl.25 per acre. There is an oppor-
tunity for any one takinga contract for
any part of this work to make some mon
ey. There could probably be profit
made onthe work Improperly managed.
Then land can be located upon which an
additional profit could be made. There
are still over 100000 acres of swamp land
in the Lower Peninsular most OF which
is of good quality, worth much more
than the price. There are still2 upwards
of $4,000 acres of these lands in Cheboy-
gan county. We trust that there. will be
large number of proposals made for do
ing the work. 1t is highly important for
the best interests Of this section of the
state that the work should be done
promptly. This should have an effect of
stimulating bids. - sfi' ''e,L

eminent the establishment of some prop
er range lights for our rharbor before the

al Weitzel has recommended in his re-
port the establishment of a light house

both these important matters, is to push

The TrIbune,s Half year

This issue OF the NORTHERN TRIBUNE
completes the first half year of its exist
cnce. 1t has met with success rarely
sacaieved By country newspaper inthat
length of time 1t has not only gained
the confidence and respect of the citizens
of the place, but it is regarded through
out the state as one of the best and most
reliable papers in the northern country.
We think we speak within bounds when
we say that in the six mouths of its life
it has accomplished more for Cheboygan
than any other paper published here ever
did in years. Through its influence Che
boygan has become known abroad as it
never was known before. A place is
judged to-a great extent from its news
papers. Since its establishment the -peo-
pie have taken a pride i'm sending the
NORTHERN TRIBUNE to friends. abroad
Thoughts Influence the project for
improving the navigation of the inland
lakes and rivers has been pushed to a
successful termination. Through its in
fuence the Cheboygan Improvement As
sociation has been formed, an organiza-
ton, if properly managed, capable of
stimulating the growth of the place to-
almost an unlimited extent. The pros
poets for a dry dock have been much en-
HANGED by articles in its columns calling
the attention ofyeapitalists to the neces-
sity of such an-institution, And the GER
tain profitableness of the investment.
The indications now are that it will not
be long before this enterprise is also a
certainty. lo; .s3st-} =s-rH
The influence of the NoKTHERN TRIB-
UNE has also been felt in many other di-
rections which will show for themselves
in time: but if there was nothing more
than those matters above mentioned, It
can point to theaccomplishment Of half
years work of which any paper in the
state might we'll be proud. These things
have not been done without labor, hard
and persistent; but we have felt amply
repaid for the labor by the numerous
words of cheer and commentator which
we have received, to say nothing of the
appreciation that has been shown in the
way of patronage and increased circula-
tion.
The NORTHERN TRIBUNE will not
stop at the work already accomplished,
but will push forward and lend its influ-
ence to other and new enterprises as fast
as objects labored for shall be at
tanned. There is much yet to be done be-
fore Cheboygan shall become in size and
importance the city it is destined to be. |
In this the TRIBUNE will take an active |
part, and expects the assistance of all who |
are working to the same end. The first /
half year shows good re. ults; We trust |
that the last half will show greater.
