EX-SENATOR HOWE was given a
warm and cordial reception at Green
Bay last week. It was largely attend
ed and two addresses Of welcome made
one by Republican and one by a
Democrat both were appropriate and
full Of feeling. Senator Howe re-
sponded at some length, commencing
by expressing very feelingly his pleas
ure and satisfaction with his reception
and welcome, and, among other things,
said, he had come home without any
sore spots to heal to spend the re-
mainder of his days.

After quoting an article from the
Burlington Standard last week, in
which it was said the best wheat ever
raised in this country was some fifteen
years since when the wheat was SOW
ed early in March, we said that was in
1864. It should have been 1860. The
farmers Of this county and the adjoin-
ing counties will all remember the
wheat Of that year.

CAGLEs MILLS, June 9, Io4J.
 Editor DEMOCRAT: In your issue of May 20, l see an article headed "Valley Township" in which you state that Russellyille had nothing. to do with the formation of the new township. This may all be so; and yet we know theresis quite feeling against Russellyille in reference to the natter m
 You further state that His Honor, Judge Wilson informs you that he acted in the premises solely accord. ing to his own convictions of right, and to comply with the wishes of majority of the citizens of the terri tory made in the new township" Now, Mr. Editor, we wish te ask the question, Whether or not parties outside the limits of Valley Town ship, belonging to Moroiand or Gum Log had no interest in the matterf They are to say nothing and remain quiet while their territory is being cnt up to make new township for the special benefit of a few would be township officcrs2 Why, sir, it was admitted by some of the prime nov CTS in this matter, that the cause of the petition was that Gum Log and Moreland were republican, and that the democrats could not getan office. Now, Mir. Editor, how does this look on paper?
 Again, you say that you have heard that "the geographical nature and and typhographical formation of the territory, made it very difficult for the voters of Gumlog township to reach their voting precinct" Now, we desire to make a few plain state ments in reference to this matter, and first we desire to say, that prior to the formation of Valley township, no man in Gum Log township had to go more than five miles to his pre- cinct; whereas in the new township men that could stand in their door way and see Cross Plains, the voting precinct of Moroland township, now have to go seven miles to vote. So much for the geography of the terri tory. So far as the topography is concerned, we only wish to state that as Gum Log township was before the change it had one mountain, and now Valley township has two-Black Jack and Buck mountains. So you see that that argument is quite trans parent. So you see that also that "all these things are taken into con sideration." But the main objection that Moreland has to the change is that it reduces her voting population to a mere nominal figure, and thisis why we blame Judge Wilson for the action taken in the matter, as it was wholly optionary with him.
 Yours for
 MORELAND.

VALLEY TOWNSHIP, June 6, '79.
 EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Str,-I can not see why the republicans should be so dissatisfied with the formation of the above named township. This thing was not done in a corner. Esq. Ewing had about four months to show the Court why the township should not be made. He failed to show any reason why the Court should not make order The petition was filed for action at the January term of the Court, it lay over until the April term, then the Circuit Court coming in con aict it went over until the third Mon day. The case was called on Mon day and what evidence there was given, then the Court gave Mr. Ewing until Wednesday to bring up evidence. He failed to bring up any on that day, so the case was left open until the next "Wednesday be fore the order was made.
 Let us examine and see if the re- publican party is injured; q know that I did not intend to injure any man or party, but to benefit the pub lic;) the republican party of Gum Log township had two representa- tives in the County Court; in More land they have at this time one; with the township as it was the chances for that party to elect one was rather slim; now they can elect two. Gum Log can elect two, that gives the republican party four, cer- tain, when they only had two certain. Then the partyin those two town ships are not injured, but benefited. We'll, but they say that the party has been injured in Valley township. But if they have, have not the demo crats that live in Moreland and Gum Log been equally injured? Then they cannot reasonably say that it was a political move.
 With all these facts before us we cannot see how any person or party has been injured in tho least, but on the other hand we claim that 300 voters have been benefited by the formation of the new township, and q majority of them republican. Moreland township has been bene- tited by bringing tie Justlce's office nearer each mans house, if ih no

BE CAREFUL,

The voters of Pope had better be careful and not be caught by chaff. The report is in circulation that At kins last Monday filed a bond condi- toned to donate a certain sum (said to be about $4,100) in case the Coun- ty Seat should be located at that town. Bur LET THE TAX PAYERS MARK rms; Last Tuesday Mayor Evans and Dr. Hill, of Russellville, called on the County Clerk to see the bond and to ascertain the solvency of the bondmen. The result was that the County Clerk COULD NOT FIND THE BOND IN HIS oFFIcE-NoR COULD HE EVEN TELL THE AMOUNT. The bond may be there and it may not; it may be q good bond and 1t may not.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-06-19

Remember, voters of Pope Coun- ty, that on tomorrow, that is, on FRIDAY, JUNE 20TH,-the long vexed question of your County Seat will be SETTLED. The result of the election Friday will FINALLY and IRREVOCABLY SETTLE the MATTER. There will be no chance to change the result of the decision you make tor the period of Ten Years. The issue is now narrowed down to a choice between Russell vile and Atkins. One of these two places MUST be chosen, and when the polls close next Friday evening, either RusseIlville or Atkins will be the County Seat. It is of the utmost importance then that every voter who has any preference between the two places should go the polls and cast his ballot for the place of his preference, because the place having the greatest number of votes will be declared the County-Seat. Go, therefore, while you have a chance, and give expression to youa wishes. Be at the polls early, and see to it that your neighbor, and your nelgh bor's neighbor and all his neighbors, are there.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-06-19
We are fully satisfied in ou

We are fully satisfied in our own mind that should Atkins be chosen as our County Seat next Fri day (to-morrow) there will be more complaining, more grumbling and more "cussing" done over it by peo, pie who will then have to go clear across the county, from the extreme western and northwestern portions of the county to the extreme south eastern portion of the county to reach our County Seat, than was ever before heard. But that town can only be elected BY THE INDIFFERENCE of the voters of other sections of the county. Although every friend of Atkins is alive and on the alert, if the voters who wish to see the COun- tv Seat located at Russellville, which is much nearer the center of popula- ton of Pope County. will turn out and vote, the calamity of having our county Seat in one extreme corner of the county can easily be aycrted. Let every voterr therefore, who is opposed to Atkins as our County Seat, turn out early and vote for Russei.yl!lc.

other way. Valley township has been benefited in like manner. but Cum Log Township has been bene
 fited by bringing the voting precinct and Justices office nearer to them. Mr. Editor, the people of Crow noun tain have been greatly benefited and they know 1t. There IS Mir. J. l. Scott, James Jackson. the Austins, and many other influential citizens up there that arc too sensible not to acknowledge that they have been benefited. Gum Log township is all on that mountain. It is just six miles long and is from three to four miles wide, with . voting population of 80 or 90. Now before the for1Da- tion of the new township, they all were put to the inconvenience of going to the valley to vote, give in or pay their taxes. Now with the pre- cinct at the church near Bryson's, which is near the center, no one of that Sc voters will have to go more than three miles for the above named purposes. Then, MT. Editor, how could the Court, with all these facts before him, do anything else or any H.. 4f
 other way than to make an order creating Valley township.
 Now I think that I have shown that no party has been injured in the least, but that three hundred voters have been benefited. Now I hope that Esq. Ewing will stop thls political howl; if he is injured he is the only person that IS, and I cannot see how he IS injured, unless he is at the next election beaten for Jus tice. If that is what is the matter, would it not be better for the Legis- lature to pass law, even though it took constitutional amendment de claring him Justice for life, than to put three hundred men to the incon- venience that they were at before the formation of Valley township. I have been told that MT. Ewing was talking of seeding from Valley. If he does he will find the democrats fighting nit the union" next time. Yours, &c., G. ". o. DAVIS.

 DECIDED AT LAST.

Next week we will give the opin- ion of Judge Jacoway in the case of ". B. Young ct als vs. J. l.. Shinn ct als--the same being the cause in volving the contested County Seat question. We will publish the opin ion at the request of the counsel for the defendants in the cause, and also because it is a matter of great importance and much interest to the public.
 The action of the Court Tn dec,in- ing to take upon itself the power to to sit as Court to adjudicate con test of the former election is fully sustained, and his Honor, Judge Jac- oway, refuses to grant either the writ of certiorari or the mandamus asked for by the plaintiffs.
 The bar of this place, so far as we have heard the different members express themselves, regard the opin ion ot Judge Jacoway as very strong one, we'll fortified by author ities of the highest rank, evidencing thorough search into the law and the authorities touching and bear ing upon the cause.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-06-19

One thing, however, is certain, and that is this; Russellyille has bond given by the wealthlest men of the county for $1O,o00, conditioned for tho building and donation to the county of a better and larger brick court house than we have ever before had, provided the County Seat is voted to Russellville.
 Let the voters choose between the

Atkins tried to be very sly and thought she could beat Russellville by the sly little trick of waiting until day or two before the election and then file larger bond than Russell. vile had given. She even procured the aid of the County Clerk to keep the amount of her offer from the knowledge of our people, and when we called on the Clerk to see the bond last Tuesday he could not find it and could not even tell the amount of tt. But the trick wouldn't win, for Russellvilie just planked down $10,000 bond conditioned for the building of court house at our town FREE OF ANY COST TO THE TAX PAYERS OF THE COUNTY.

 Number enrolled l5, and rapidly increasing.
 The following resolutions were adopted:
 Whereas, The financial legislation and policy of both the present polit- ical parties is and has been for Q number of years detrimental to the best interests of the country, inas- much as said legislation has been wholly in the interests of q favored few and against the interests of the masses of the people.
 Whereas, The Chicago greenback platform adopted March l, 1879 enunciates the correct principles, and the only principle by which the country can recover from its present financial embarrassment.
 Whereas, Judging the future by the past, we can look for no relief, either under the democratic or re- publican parties,
 Resolved, That we hereby endorse the Chicago Greenback platform and sever our connection with both of the said political parties. That we demand the immediate redemption of the whole bonded indebtedness of the United States in non-interest- bearing U. s. legal tender notes.
 That we will not support any man for any office State or County who is not in strict aflihation with the greenback party.
