The TriIuHe's Washington special
says Governor Nicholl's friends in
Washington assert he has no sympathy
with the present prosecutions; that
they were instigated aud carried on by
Bourbon Democrats who are opposed
to him and his administration, and that
lie ought not TO be held responsible for
them. This is undoubtedly true, and
should Anderson be convicted, Mich
oils will have an opportunity TO show
how much independence and moral
courage he has when the question OF
granting pardon comes before him.

The citizens of the upper st. Croix
met in convention at Taylors Falls on
Wednesday of last week for the pur-
pose of devising some plan to prevent
the obstruction of the river by the st.
Croix Boom Corporation. The meeting
was large and enthusiastic one, and
was attended by the leading citizens
of the upper st. Croix valley. Resolu-
tions were passed denouncing the st.
Croix Boom Corporation, endorsing the
improvement now being made by the
U. S. Engineer Corps, and recognizing
the eminent services of Hon. Thad. G..
Pound in securing the appropriations
for the improvements of the st. Croix
river. A permanent organization was
effected and a president, secretary
and executive committee chosen.
AS there is a large and fertile terri
tory tributary to the st. Croix, and
the inhabitants depend almost entirely
upon the river as a means of commerce.
we are surprised that the citizens of
that vicinity have not ere this taken
some steps to prevent the encroach-
ments upon navigation made by the
boom company.

RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 49, 1878.
THE STATE FAIR.

All reports concur in prononncing
the Twenty-Fifth Annual Exhibition
of the Wisconsin State Agricultural
Society, held at Madison last week, one
OF the best and most successful ever
held in the State. The grounds and
| buildings were IN complete order and
every possible convenience provided
for exhibitors and visitors. The dis
play i'll fine arts, horticultural, flori-
culture, agriculture and manufactures
was excellent, while that of blooded
stock has never been equalled i'll the
State. The display of agricultural
machinery was unusually large and
SO far as practicable operated upon the
ground by portable engines provided
for that purpose; this department at
traeted especial attention by reason of
the large number of entries therein
and the complete preparations for its
exhibition made by the superinten-
dent of this class. The races, which
generally draw a crowd were looked
upon as a matter of secondary impor-
lance, no famous horses having been
advertised to appear. Though the
President and party met with an en-
thusiastic reception on Tuesday, a
greater number of people were on the
grounds on Wednesday and Thursday
respectively than on the day of the
Presidential visit. The weather was
quite favorable, though somewhat
cool-in striking contrast with that of
the week previous. Notwithstanding
the hard times the entries by far ex-
ceeded those of any former year, and
the Fair was largely attended. The
receipts of the Society were over s20,
900 and instead of now being in debt
it has money in its treasury. At the
meeting of the Society held on Thurs
day evening last for the election of of
fieers for the ensuing year, Hon. N. d.
Pratt was reelected President, and
Gen. Geo. E. Bryant was reelected
Secretary.
