GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Bslhto citizens of the Senets and Assembly:
By tbs favor of Divine Providence
you are permitted to convene in annual
legislative session at this time, under
most favorable circumstances. AL
though the people of Wisconsin suffer
ed as little inconvenience, during the
recent protracted depression in business,
In the prosecution of their public and
private affairs, SIS the people Of any
state, and less than in most of the states,
aud except in rare instances were en-.
lirely unacquainted with actual priva-
ton and suffering, yet none the less is il
true, that progress and development
were materially impeded and enterprise
and enthusiasm we'll nigh exhausted.
The past year, however, has Witnessed
many auspicuous changes. Everywhere
reyiving industry betokens returned
prosperity; hope has supplanted doubt,
and dependency given way to cheer
lulness. Labor and CAPITAL are once
more in substantial accord, and never
was new year heralded with more en-
couraging promises.
1t affords me much pleasure TO be
able to assure you that the affairs and
condition of the state are equally satis-
factory. 1t will appear from the vari-
Gus reports of officers and boards OF
management that economy has charac-
terized public expenditures and faithful
ness and efficiency been manifest in all
the state departments, and institutions.
Bespeaking for these reports, which are
replete with valuable information, an
early and careful perusal. submit for
your present consideration, in as brief
space as possible, the mole important
particulars, commencing with the
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1880-01-22

Open Letter to MI. Acklen.
A Leading Member Of his Convention
Repudiates the Bolt.

n6plAN4dbc0 LILO ASVAOs
HoUMA, La, Sept. II, 1880.
To Hon. Jos. H. Acklen, New Orleans, La.
Dear ,Sir-Since our return from
Morgan City, my mind has become
possessed with some uncomfortable ln-
fiuence, prompting me to study what
| had done, and urging on my part,
serious, very serious, reflection, before
proceeding any further.
I have pondered and pondered over
our action ever since, only to realize
the silent whisperings of my cons-
cience-that we are boilers.
Ia the excitement and first flush OF
the moment, acting under misappre
hension, deserted the floor OF the
rigbtfully constituted Convention, and
followed the bolt, for bolt it is, my
dear sir, and nothing else.
In SO doing, I have committed q
grave and serious error, the enormlty
of which has become to my mind per-
fectly awful. AS humiliating as it is,
feel that candid confession IS the
only course now left for me to pursue;
and regarding candor the true basis OF
friendship, it becomes my paramount
duty to say to you that cannot follow
your lead. That Gen. John S. Billiu
is the party nominee, I now appreciate
fully. Whatever may have been my
misrepresentation at Morgan City, my
entire support must now be given to
Gen. Billiu; and on account Of the very
error have committed, it behooves
me now, more than ever, to redouble
my zeal and energy in his behalf.
Can you not my dear friend, do like
wise9 Can you not, also, acknowledge
the influence of some internal passion
that led us to such course
Your true friends are all panied and
l must say, greatly disappointed at
tile course you have taken. While it
is yet time, sacrifice little ambition
and abandon a fight that can only
tend to disintegrate our grand old
party and divide your friends-such q
course will reflect credit and honor on
you and revive the old enthusiasm.
And in order to place myself right
with the Democratic party to whose
principles lave always adhered, and
always expect to, | have concluded to
make this an open letter, so that my
motive may not be misconstrued.
Very respectfully yours,
A. JOLIET, JR.

Town of Donaldsonville.
Speaker Ogden's RetOrt.

The CHIEF having recently repro
duced from the Sparta Times a syn
opsis of speech made by Hon. T. j.
Bntler, Representative from Bienville
parish, in which very severe refec
lions upon Speaker Ogden occurred,
we deem it only fair to publish the
following card from Mr.. Ogden which
appears in the New Orleans papers of
yesterday:
New ORLEANS, Sept. J, 1880.
To the Editor of the Endicator:
My attention has just been called
to a speech made by Butler of Bien-
vile, and published in the Sparta
Times, in which, without cause OF
provocation, lie assails my personal
character in language consonant with
his breeding.
Under ordinary circumstances,
should leave him unnoticed but the
unfortunate prominence the good peo
pie Of Bienyille have given him, to-
gether with the fact that respectable
journals are publishing his billings
gate, render it necessary, in justice
to those who do not know me, to
brand him as malicious liar.
The charge that was in the habit
OF inebriating myself when presiding
officer Of the House, or that he ever
p1opounded any questions to me, is
absurdly false. Were it necessary,
could call on honorable gentlemen,
members Of the House, who, while
they differed from me ON many I'M
portant measures, are too knightly to
degrade themselves by slanderous
ta'sehood, to prove that | presided
always with dignity and fairness.
The only time lba: Butler ever saw
me touch drop, and then of wine,
was white he was enjoying my hospi-
tality, at my own table, with my own
family and friends. He will recollect
the occasion as the one from which a
"prlvate" conversation was BETRAYED
and misrepresented by him for tie
purpose of cheap not"riety. He was
compelled afterwards to explain his
misrepresentation. The resolution
conirinenting me for my dignity and
lmpartlality as the presiding officer
Of t'le House, introduced by the Hon.
John S. Billiu of Lafourche, a gentle
man of the highest character, and nv
opponent for the Speakersl,ip, and
unanimously adopted, as will De seen
by reference to the journal, refntes
the charges on this point made by
Butler.
His statement il reference to the
remark said to have been uttered by
Gen. f. n. Ogden, derogatory to me.
IS rs false as his other assertions, and
have Gen. Ogden's Gown" assurance
that no such language was ever used
by him in connection with nv name.
Butler is one Of those who under
stands the safety of distance. He
would not have dared to assail me
within reasonable reach. I therefore
brand him as a "liar" and i coward
merIting the contempt of every hon
orablc gentleman.
