The County Bond Suit.

Superior Times.
There is misapprehension in re-
gard to the full text of the decision
of Judge Drummond, in the Z. S.
Circuit Court last week at Madison,
in relation to the Douglas county
railroad bonds. The decision is by
no means an unfavorable one, though
not as satisfactory as was. hoped for
the county, and is in effect, SO far
as can be gathered from the memo
randum made by the Judge, that
unless the Superior and st. Croix
Railroad Co. dlsclaimed all interest
in the bonds the suit would have to
be remanded to the State Court, for
the reason that in the Federal courts
the controversy must be wholly be-
tween citizens of different states !;
that while Walbridge Bro. g Sar-
gent are citizens of Ohio, Douglas
county ard the st. Croix Railroad
company are both "citizens' of
Wisconsin,.
Judge Drummond said it was
case that ought to be settled AMIGA
bly,, and intimated also that he who
wants equity must do equity, and
that the county ought to allow for
the benefits which it has received
from the work done by Walbridge
& Co.
Douglas county has no reason to
be dissatisfied except at the delay
in disposiug of the suit. For even
If Walbridge & Co. control the
Railroad company and put in dis
claimer of interest, which is doubt
ful, they then can only hope to re-
tain bonds equal to the amount of
benefit derived by Douglas county
from their work, which will have to
be provedby them before Master
or else go back to the State Court
where the " hole case has virtually
been decided against them on every
point. r.

in vain to preachreligion and moral

IT is not worth while to attempt
to persuade people to believe that
times are good, business brisk and
money plentiful, when there are a
thousand things that prove the con-
trary. Times are not, good, busl-

plentiful with the great-majority of
the community. But in spite OF
these discouraging features there
should be the maintenance of a

Judge Barron's Address.

Judge Barron, who was unavoid-
able detained from fulfilling his ap-
pointment at the editorial convention
by engagements in court at the Chip

had prepared to the President, but
it did not reach Milwaukee in time
to be read before the Convention.

Nr. President and Gentlemen of
the Editorial Co,sgention There
was to me in boyhood a charm and
attraction about type and presses
that NO other occupation, profession
or business presented. There was
a grand, great mystery there that
created an awe, curiosity that is
yet fresh in memory. / remember
well slipping into printing offices on
my way to and from school to see
type gathered by nimble fingers
from case to stick, and at times see
the old hand press strike off the
Balston Spa Gazette, the Saratoga
Sentinel, in eastern New York, and
after that the Cayuga Patriot and
Cayuga Tocsin, in western New
York. 1t seemed to me that my
dreams of ambition would be full
when | could become a printer and
an editor. And had not Franklin,
who became the sage philosopher
and patriot of the New World, and
the associate of kings and scholars
in the Old World, been a printers
apprentice ? | drifted to the type
case and press at the age of four
teen. When | came to Wisconsin,
newspapers were few and newspa-
per publishers had to struggle for an
existence. | succeeded in the pur-
chase of press at Waukesha in
this State, twenty-five years ago. l
picked up my type and worked
press, because [ preferred it to all
else, and from August 1851 to June
1857 at Waukesha, in this State,

THERE is always room for man
OF force, and he makes room for
many. Society is troop of think
ers, and the best heads among them

The opinion too commonly entertained,
that the cultivation of the ground meets with
scanty remuneration only, compared mith
other occupations, is altogether erroneous.
1t is true that agrieulturists, for labor, do
not receive as high wages as are sometimes
paid to frst-rate artizans, and particularly
confidential clerks and accountants in large
mercantile houses, banks and insurance
Offices But, then, it should be remembered,
that while here and there person receives a
large salary for personal services, several
hundred receive barely sufficient to meet
their personal expenses. We will not insti-
tute any comparisoa as to what one class feels
necessitated to expend for living and COM
fort. Owing to the -usages of society, the
known to lay up more money-though re-
ceiving but two hundred dollars a year-than
a clerk in city receiving six hundred We
may not change these usages, however we
may oppose them. Each class has its hard
ships. Clerks and merchants are often
bankrupt, and oh how such changes test the
moral courage of these how they destroy
the physical energies and mar the social
affections! We are too well acquainted with
such scenes. Let young men in rural life,
inclined to be dissatisfied with their con-
dition, think of all this before they resolve to
change their occupation.
