A Dodgeville correspondent to the
Galena Gazette gives the sentiments
OF our neighbors on the now county
history thus, which compares favor
ably with majority Of the subscrib-
ers in the Point:
This village aud vicinity has been visited by
a great calamity since the 2lst day of April.
Never since the news of the great tornado"
OF 1878, was tn such gloom cast over the
countenanccs of the people or at least over
the countenances Of those who were the more
particularly interested, or affected thereby.
Merchants lett their places OF business in care
OF their clerks mechanics their workshops
to their apprentices. In fact there was n
general stampede In one direction or another.
The cause of this sudden furry was the np-
pearance Of tall, well built, muscular man,
upon the streets of our village carrying a
bundle of books. He is the distributing agent
pi the Western Historical Com yany and the
book he was distributing was the history, or
what purports to be the history Of Iowa coun-
ty. Upon calm reflection, and knowing that
boook agents are irepres,Ible, they followed
the bent of their better Judgment, and rcturn.
cd and hccd the agent with smile that was
"child.like and bland, I" and received the book
and paid the price as gracefully as they could
under the circumstances. There were q few
stalwarts however, who neither ran away nor
took the book, aud with unblushing eflrontery
refused to take it, and deled the agent, who
threatened to invoke the aid of the law.

New FORK, Oct. 3.-The Tribune re-
viewing the local election for delegates
to the state convention, says, under the
head line of "Conkling rebuked:" If
the state committee place the Conkiing
delegates in all the districts upon the
roll, Conkling would have but 100 del
egates Of the 497. or SO less than ma
jority. Even il the contested delegates
were permitted therefore to vote in the
early stages Of the proceedings, Conk-
ling would still be considerably below
the majority. Giving Conkling all the
contested districts, and all the districts
in which conventions have not been
held, or whose delegates have not de-
clared themselves, he would still have
only 213 delegates, or SO less than q
majority.
The Times makes even better show
ing for the anti-C Conklingites, saying:
Conceedirg to Conkling every delegate
upon whom he can have the faintest
shadow of a claim, every contested seat
and every doubtful man, he is beaten
in the convention by majority Of "a
this gives 201 Conkling delegates and
295 anti-C Conklingites, of the 496 in the
convention. But there are 10 contest
ed delegates who in all fairness should
be admitted to the convention; thest
10 anti Conkling men would make th'
list stand thus: Conkling 1872, anti
Conkling 314; majority against thu

Parneil and Father Sheehy's Arrival
at Cork.
They are Received With Bands and a
Gorgeous Display.
Parneii,s Triumph.

New York, Oct. 3.-The Herald,
Cork special says: Parnell made q
triumphal entry into Cork tonight, il
being his first appearance before his
constituents since parliament rose. The
demonstration was more imposing even
than last Sundays affair at Dublin, fifty
league branches and trade associations
contributed large delegations.
Next to the anxiety to welcome Par
nell was the desire to see Father
Sheehy who was expected to accompany
him. A deputation was sent to meet
them at Mallow, and when it met
Father Sheehy its members knelt on the
hotel step and asked his blessing; their
example was followed by a large crowd
which had assembled. Parnell con-
graduated them on their position to-
day and told them to remember that
what they had gained had been won by
determination and self-sacrifice; he i'm
plored the farmers to do justly by their
laborers for their labor helped them in
the agitation. He concluded by urging
them to be compact organization, and
they would soon convince the govern
ment that it must give Ireland her
right to self government.
Parnell's speech was not so violent as
some he has made, but he seems to have
left to Father 6heedy the task Of firing
into Saxon. The reverend gentleman
said that they stood here to repeat once
more, and solemnly register the view
transmitted by their ancestors, that their
steps shall not be stayed until they have
planted the glorious banners of Ireland,
not alone ON the ruins of lanlord power,
but on the ruins of government and
the alien race which 1t represents.

Gulteau,. Utter Cowardlce.

New York, Oct. 3.-The Worlds
Washington correspondent saw Warden
Crocker at the Jail yesterday, he said:
81 do not think that there will be any
effort made to lynch Guiteau, but we
have taken every rrecaution to protect
him. / have no doubt, indeed have
every reason to believe that there are
many persons who would kill Guiteau
If they could get at him. l have ascer-
tained that certain applications for ad-
mission to the jail and to have men
placed upon our staff of guards, were
made by men seeking an opportunity to
kill Guiteau. Other communitions that
have come to light show that there
are great many people anxious to
take the responsibility Of Guiteau's
punishment. When the funeral cere-
monies were being conducted on Fri
day, Guiteau hearing the minute guns,
knew that the funeral would take
place here, but did not know on what
day. He heard the guns and OWNED
their meaning and became agitated; he
asked constantly if we could guard him
from an attack, and has been very mis-
4 cradle ever since. He has been in the
habit Of bathing in the bath room
which is across tho rotunda from hi
cell, and has always seemed to enjoy
going there, but on Saturday he aske(
to have some buckets Of water sent Il
his room; the request was refused ant
the prisoner was escorted to the batl
room. He passed through the soldier
and guards with an intense expression
Of fear on his face, and when he ap
preached close to the bath room he has
tened in and closed the door quickly
He IL afraid of every sound. He wa.
90 much frightened that since that tim
; his request to have his bath In his eel
! thas been granted.

asked that before any motion was
heard by the court two days notice Of
the fact be given to the counsel for the
government. The order asked for was

large gains at Chicago.
