the great honor conferred. He as
sures us he is Republican and in
tends to work faithfully for the prin-
ciples of that party that he is in
sympathy with US on the question OF
finance, and determined to discharge
all his duties as a Senator SO as to
Justify the Legislature in electing
him. If he fails, he says he will
surrender the trust to the Legisla-
ture at request.-(See his speech OF
acceptance in another column.
Since electing the Senator the Leg
islature shows signs Of setting
to work vigorously on legislative
business, and it is hoped the session
will be brief. Several important
bills are already in, and others ex
pected, but that the total number
will reach the multitude usual is not
likely. The bills authorizing loans
from the trust funds to Mineral
Point city and town have passed
both houses and become laws. An
Interest bin fixing legal rate at 6 per
cent, and the limit at s per cent will
attract considerable attention; as
will also a bill proposing large re-
ductions III the salaries of all State
officers. The biennial sessions res
olution is finding many friends and
seems likely to pass. w. II. b.

THE open opposition Of General
Bragg, the Wisconsin Democratic
Congressman, in the House of Rep
resentatives, to the Southern rebel
war claims, and the symptoms of res
tiveness apparent on the part OF
other Northern Democrats in regard
to the same subject, have caused
considerable bad feeling among the
Southern rebel Brigaders in Con
gress, and there are indications Of a
serious disturbance Of the friendly
relations heretofore existing between
the Northern and Southern Dem
ocracy. The friends of the rebel
claims failed Friday in an attempt
in the House to bring mp their pet
measures in preference to other
business.

COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE, DODGE
WILLIE, Wis, January Oath, 1873
The Board Of Supervisors met at II
O'Clock a. III. pursuant to adjourn
ment. All the supervisors were
present except Mr. Shepard.
The committee to settle with the
County Treasurer reported as fol-
lows:
To the Hon Board of Supervis-
ors Of Iowa County :-Gentlemen:-
Your committee to settle with and
to whom was referred the report Of
G. Kessler, late Treasurer of said
county, having faithfully and care
fully examined the said report, the
books kept by him and his yorchers
for disbursements, and make this,
our final report.
We find that the duplicate re-
ceipts for money received from town
treasures filed with the county
clerk, amount to 6,OlS,15, which
is $40 more than stated in the
report. The amount actually re-
ceiyed, however, we find to be as
stated in the report, $50, S69.15,
The amount Of S149 was interest,
owing to the State by school dis
trlct No. 1t OF the town OF Eden,
formerly a part OF Highland, and
was charged to the town of High
land, by the treasurer. The amount
was not collected or pad by the
town of Highland. ltwas collected
and paid by the town of Eden.
The treasurer rcceipted to both
towns for the amount, when but
one receipt should have been given.
We find that the amountrecclyed
from the tax sales Of 1873 was $40
more than stated III the report,
we md also that the amount re-
ceNed by the treasurer from >. v.
Reese, late District Attorney, was
S4ZH93 instead OF s403,9l, as
stated IN the report
The mistake arose as follows;
Mr.. Reese, as stated in his report,
had collected costs and fines
amounting to S427. 1893, and held
county orders amounting os463.9l.
The treasurer paid Mr.. Reese the
difference, a8 shown by their testi-

CAPITAL NOTES.

MADISON, Jan 2jth, 1870,
The settlement of the Senatorial
question hy the election of Matt IL.
Carpenter, was a result we thought
highly improbable up to the last
night before its consummation. I'm
til the meeting Of the caucus ONION
day night there was general i'm
preston that neither of the three
leading candidates could finally sue
ceed; though Reyes and his most
enthusiastic supporters assumed to
he confident to the last, aud to their
persistency is mainly attributable
the election of Carpenter. AS early
as Saturday the supporters of Sen
ator Howe, conceded that his cleo
ton was improbable, and their sup
port OF him thereafter was mainly
with the hope that they could 10y
such course soonest convince the
keves men that their cause was
equally hopeless, and thus induce a
withdrawal of both Howe and Reyes
and u union of their forces upon
some new man. But

the Howe men aud the scattering

as possible and when finally the
Howe men were canvassed rs to
their preference between keyes and
Carpenter, it was found to the sur
prise of many who were supposed to
know, that large majority were tor
the latter. AT the eleventh hour
the Reyes men thus came to see
their weakness, and IL feeble attempt
20 unite upon a new man YVES made,
but too late. Had the friends OF
keyes sooner cauvassed to ascertain
The probable result Of contest be

would doubtless have been less de-
termined TO bring it to that issue,

$50, 1920, instead Of s9O,745.93, as
stated in his report
We therefore find that the amount
of money on hand January 4th,
1879, should have appeared in the
report as sll, 931 81 instead of Sill
965.39, as stated in the report, and
that there is now due to the late
treasurer the sum of s34.09, and we
recommend that an order be drawn
upon the treasurer, in favor of G.
kessler, for the said amount of s34.-
0S.
We found the books and records
of the late treasurer well kept, and
very accurate with the exceptions
above stated, and we recommend
that your honorable body tender to
the late treasurer, c. kessler, vote
of thanks for the honest and efficient
manner in which he has discharged
the duties of his office.
All of which is respectfully sub

The distinguished steal by the democrat
ic officials of Maine has been written up ip
detail BY Q special correspondent of the
Chicago Times and the transaction becomes
darker as the facts leak out. A strong re-
publican majority in the legislature has
been tnrned into a strong democratic ma
jority through the medium Of alleged irreg.
ularities in the returns from republican dis.
tricts. The democratic returning board
failed to discover anything technically
wrong in returns from democratic districts
and 1t makes the steal the more barefaceo
that oil these alleged errors should all occur
within one political party. By the action Of
the governor and council sixteen Thousand
voters of Maine have been DISTINGUISHED BY
means Of q Job fixed up especially to entrsI
them. The blanks used for the returns
were furnished by the democratic secre tary
of state and the Times correspondent say.
he purpossly made them defective and tha'
the canvassing board is taking advantage o
this studied defect to change the politica
complexion of the legislature. The demo
cratic party Of Maine will hardly surviv,
this suicidal act. A little temporary powe
will be its only gain from the steal.
