Wntertown Legislation.

On Friday last the Assembly had under
consideration Mr.. Films bills relating to
our city debt We clip the following from
the published proceedings:
The bill 10 repeal chapter SO, private and
local laws of 1915, rela,ing TO the Water
town railroad debt, came up.
Mr.. Finn presented bis reasons why the
bill ought to ecome law.
Mr.. Pope said the judiciary Committee
had carefully considered this bill, and had
been compelled to report against the passage
of this and No. ll6 relating TO the same
subject. The business men Of Waterfowl
and the Common Council had protested
agalnst the passage OF the bill.
Mr. Flynn protested that he did not mis-
represent his constituents, and that the bill
ought to pass.
Mr. w. h. Carter moved to indefinitely
postpone this bin. He was convinced thai
10 pass it would be the worst kind of bad
faith and reputation.
The Assembly refused to indefinitely
postpone.
Mr. Pope moved TO postpone the cons i'd
Grafton for thirty days. Carried by vote
Of 4 : 10 40.
Mr. Carter moved to indefinitely postpone
The bill relating to the exchanging Of bonds
in Watertown, aud amending section /,
chapter II Of the 10 cal laws of 1870.
MIR Finn moved to strike out 1877 and
insert 1878. Carried.
Mr.. Carter withdrew his motion.
Tue bill was ordered to a third reading
On motion of Mr. Finn, the rule5 were
suspended ard the bill passed.
1t will be seen that the limi tation for the
exchange OF bonds is fixed IN October 1878
The bill has gone to the Senate for its con-
currence. The bill to repeal the law of
1875 for the enforcement of certain duties
devoving upon the Clerk and Treasurer
with reference o the levying of taxes for
the compromise bonds was killed. We I'm
derstand Mr. Finn intends to move a re-
consideration of the vote by which it was
tabled, with view to its ultimate passage.
The report of the committee was unanimous
against the passage of the proposed bill.
Mr.. Carter, it will be seen, denounced it as
''tEe worst kind of bad faith and repudia-
ton" We commend to Democrats q care
full study of the legislation which their Rep
resentative has been trying to fasten upon
the city, and trust they will be happy
over it.

JUNEAU, Feb. 26th

JUNEAU, Feb. Goth.
The Spring term of the Circuit Court
commenced its session here on Monday
noon. The calendar comprises II Jury
cases, court cases and criminal cases :;
of the latter it is, however, probable that
several more will be added, among them
the State VS.. Mary E Woodwork for an
attempt to procure an abortion. 1t is gen
orally supposed that this case will be taken
to some other circuit. Court will probably
not last over two weeks, if that long.
Mr.. Richard Mertz, who lately recovered
from severe attack of rheumatism, is again
confined to his bed by the same disease.
Mr. VanAlstyn, of Burnett junction, has
rented one of the stores in Mr.. Smiths new
building and will open a general assert
ment OF goods on May LIST. A hardware
store is also, about to be opened at this
place, and considerable activity IN building
is expected as soonas the season fairly opens.
The race for County Judge promises 10 be
Il lively and exciting one. Hon S. w.
La noreux is the regular nominee OF the
Democratic party, and Hon e. Elwell, the
present incumbent, is an independent can
didate. The chances are rather ia favor of
the regular nominee. The Republican vote
will be divided between the two, most of
them probably preterrlng to vote for Mr..
Elvell
The disappointment among the Democrats
at the result Of the labors of the Electoral
Commission in the three disputed states, is
very great, and some of them take their 1e-
feat very hard. Many of them are in favor
of delaying further action so as to get IL
new election The disappointment is es-
pecial!y great among those that expected a
share Of The offices, and who, if report is
true, already have their petition made out
aud sigued, ready 10 send TO President Tilden.
On Monday evening the Ri. Rev. Bish-
op Wells, assisted by Rev. s. X. Miller, of
WATERFOWL, and Rev. l.. Weatherbee, Of
Nashotah, held services in the Presby terrain
church, and preached to a large congrega-
ton. On Tuesday morning the Bishop
confirmed five persons and administered the
holy communion. The number of commu-
nicants in Juneau is about 3O-a large in
crease, when it is remembered that but
few years ago the members of the church
were scattered without regular services.

bunting for Dresses.

The last Harper's Bazar has the following
under the head Of "SprIng Styles"
Red, white and blne bunting Of the best
quality used for flags is imported by the
leading furnishing houses to be used for
summer dresses fE this country, especially
q: the seaside, as il is not affected py damp
air. This fashion came into vogue last sum-
mer during the patriotic Centennial seasox.
and the material became so popular that
merchants have imported a large supply of
it. Only TWO colors will be used in T. cos
tune. Thus, blue suits will be piped with
red or with white, and white suits with red
or blne. The Breton style is commended
for these dresses. The bunting costs 80
cents yard, and is half yard wide. 1t
can be nicely cleaned by French scourers,
and has as little weight as a muslin dress.

Prof. Cummings Lectures.

Prof. ". D Cunning delivered his last
geological lecture in this city on Friday
evening last, making seven lectures in all.
This course of lectures has given the utmost
satisfaction, end the patrons feel we'll paid
for their trouble aud outlay. Prof. Cunning
is a thorough student of science, and as an
instructor he has few equals in this country
he presents his subjects in a plain and
comprehensive manner, and has the happy
faculty of entertaining as well as instructing
his hearers. We are glad to be able to state
that tie course was a success financially
This is due to TIE untiring efforts of the
gentlemen who have had the matter in
charge. They deserve the thanks Of all
those who have had the good fortune TO
attend the lectures, if not the community at
large. The eminent lecturer left with a
favorable impression Of Watertown and her
people and also with the promise to come
here again next winter in case he lectures
ia the west.
