The Phoenix Volunteer Fire Com
pany will give their fifth annual ball at
Turner Hall, Thursday evening, Septem-
Der 23d. The Phoenix boys deserve a
large patronage, and will no doubt re-
ceive it at the hands of generous pub
lie.
General Key has written
letter of commentator to William A..
Buckingham, boy of Milford, Conn.,
who saw a mailbag fall from train and
carried it to the depot, and has also dl-
rected that set of Government stamps
worth 1866 be sent him.
The presidential campaign begins to
wax warm in Watertown as elsewhere.
The democrats have strung across the
street a banner bearing the names OF
their candidates for president and vice
president, while the republicans have at
tached to the building in front of their
club rooms neat transparency. on which
are fine oil paintings of Garfield and Ar
thur, and the words Republican Head
quarters
Prof. Stroetzel, principal of Union
School No. /, of this city, has asked the
school board for an investigation into
certain charges and rumors derogatory to
him. Let the investigation be thorough
and searching, and, if there is no truth
in the charges, Prof. Stroetzel should
have the benefit of public report, which
would put an end to the matter. If on
the other hand there are good foundations
for the charges and rumors, there should
be an immediate change of teachers.
We CLEAN from a report of the State
Board of Immigration the following facts
in regard to Wisconsin: 1t has 5000
miles of railroad, 100000 acres under
cultivation, High Schools exist in every
city, 1926 school houses, accommodating
357, 1856 pupils The proportion of
deaths annually, in comparison with the
other states is: Wisconsin, in 1OS; Iowa,
l in 70: Connecticut, l in 60; Texas, l
in 46; United States, l in "a, showing
that Wisconsin takes the lead in the
matter of health. Its manufacturing
stock amounts to about $50, 100000.
Last Monday, Emil, a seven year old
son of Herman Walter a resident of the
9th Ward, was severely injured by run
away team belonging to his father. The
little boy was holding the team while his
father was engaged in doing something
about threshing machine which was at
work for him three miles east OF here,
when the horses became frightened and
ran, throwing the little fellow under the
wagon One wheel passed over his alb
DOMAIN but the wagon was empty and the
result was not as bad as it might have been.
Though severely hurt from internal in
iuries he will probably recover.
1t is reported that the Hon. Richard
Guenther, of Oshkosh, the present eff
cient state treasurer, has consented to
take the republican nomination for mem
Der of congress in Gabe Bouck's district.
Bouck will be the democratic candidate
no doubt, and a lively fight in the sixth
district may be looked for this fall. MIR.
Guenther has the running qualities OF q
steer in a cornfield, and Gabriel will be
sure to get left in the congressional con-
test in November. The indications now
are that the democrats will have but one
representative in congress from Wiscon-
sin after the 4th of March. Toe much
solid south and too many rebel brigadiers
for Wisconsin.

The article on constitutional and sal
DON lawyers which was published III The
Democrat two weeks ago, has created no
little talk since its appearance. For
time it was not known at whom the
thrust was made, but the subsequent fut-
tering of the parties hit has let outsiders
into the mystery. The coat seems to
have been a perfect fit for Hon. Richard
Jones, alderman from the 4th ward, and
Mai. c.. III. Gardner, city attorney, and
these gentlemen delayed not in putting
the garment on. The way these gentle
men came by their titles is explained as
follows: In a little tilt in the council
rooms few weeks ago between Nh.
Jones and Mr.. Gardner, the latter in a
satirical way alluded to the former as
constitutional lawyer. Mr.. Jones being
no match for the city attorney with his
tongue got even with him by having his
son Thomas define a saloon lawyer in the
next issue of the official paper. This
blast from the official organ completely
upset the city attorney, and at the last
meeting of the council he heroically Of
fered his resignation. In the following
resolution the council killed two birds
with one stone-acknowledg the inval
liable services of the city attorney, and
gave the official paper one square be-
tween the two eyes. 1t reads as follows
Resolved That the resignation Of G.. III. Gard
ner as City Attorney be not accepted, but that Mr..
Gardner is hereby unanimously requested to act
as Attorney for this Board until the end of his
term; and be it further
Resolved, That this board condemn any uncal-
ed for attack upon any member ofthe City govern
ment by the official paper of this CITY, for the pur-
pose ofgratifying personal an1mosity, as vicious
and tending to produce diScord, when IN our pres
entsituaton harmony is most essential to the
welfare of our city Resolution adopted.
Now there are two very strange things
about this resolution. One is that it was
introduced by Commissioner Voss, who
it will be remembered fought so hard for
the official paper last spring; and the
other is the startling fact that Commits
sioner Jones voted for it, thus rebuking
his son in public for doing what he order
ed him to do in private. Taken all to-
gether, the official paper, the aldermen
from the 4th and 9Th, and the city attor-
ney, do not make happy family.

~GARFrELD's speech, delivered at
Warren. Ohio, in 1874, in which be at
tempted defense of his Credit Mobil-
ier, De Golyer pavement, Salary Grab
swindles, is now going the rounds Of the
Republican papers, The record made,
after investigation, by leading members
of his own party was 80 convincing thai
even the Republican press in 1873 was
unanimous that no defense could be
made that would convince the public
that the sworn testimony of witnesses
was untrue, except the testimony c'
GARFIELD himself, which was condemned
by the POLAND Committees Credit Mo-
bilier report. AS Chairman of the Com
mittee on Appropriations GARFIELD nd:
mitted that he reaeived $4,000 fee to
advance the interests OF the De GoLYEH
pavement swindle before the Board oil
City Improvements in Washington City
He voted for the Salary Grab, drew the
money, and then, under the pressure oi
the demand by his constituents for bis
resignation, returned IT. to the Treasury

said in June last "He has not record
f to run or for President"

Credit MObelier.

GENERAL GARFIELD, in speech de
livered at Warren, Oh!o, in 1874, de-
fined Credit Mobilier as follows:
"The Credit Mobiler was corpora
ton charted in 1859 by the State oI
Pennsylvania, and authorized to build
houses, buy lands, loan money, &c
Nothing of consequence was done with
that company until the year 1867, when
number of men bought up whatever
stock there was in it and commenced to
doayery large business. In the winter
of 1867 Mr.. Ames came to me and
showed me q list OF names and sub.
scribers to the stock of the Credit Mo.
.bilier Company and asked me to sub.
scribe $1,000. / should say there wer.
fifteen or twenty members of Congress
on the list, and many more prominent
business men, He said that the compa
ny was going to buy lands along the
line of the Pacific Railroad at places
where they thought cities and villages
would grow up and to develop them, and
he bad no doubt that the growth of the
country would make that Investment
double itself in very short time"

following from General GnANr's sreech
at Bloomington, Ills, on his return

SIT may be appropriate on this occa.
sion to refer to my trip through the
Southern States and to what have seer
while travelling. l have been gratified
at my reception in all the recently re-
bellious States. I passed from Phila'
delphia to Florida on my way to Ha-
vana, and on my return came via Texas
from Mexico, thus: passing through al
the rebelhous States, and it will be
agreeable to all to know that hospita.
lity was rendered me at every city
through which passed and accepted In
nearly all Of them by me. The Union
flag fioated over Us everywhere, and the
eyes OF the people in those States are as
familiar with it's colors as yours, and
look upon it as guaranteeing to them all
the rights and privileges Of free peo.
pie without regard 70 race, color Or
previous condition OF servitude. In
most Of the States upon the reception
committees, side by side, we're men that
wore the blue and men that wore the
gray, and reception addresses were made
In part by those who wore the blue and
those who wore the gray. We have no
reason to doubt that those who wore
the gray will fulfil all they have prom
ised in loyalty to the flag and the ma
lion."
