Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1882-10-20

This estimate accounts for 26, 600
votes in the district-not far out of the
probable.
The total vote this year will be very
large, ard while not reaching the presi-
dental vote, will approximate it, for
reasons apparent to all.
In 1880 Hancock received in this
district IA $50, Garfield 1852, making
a total of 80, ,483. In 1881 Fratt re-
ceived 8,296, Rusk 1928, Kanouse
2.253, total Of 20,767-less than two
thirds of the whole number of votes
cast in 1880. Rusk's majority over
Fratt was 1922. This year the
total vote will be nearly $4,000, and the
republican vote will be out in larger
proportion that the democratic for evi-
dent reasons. Jones will. take his straight
party vote, minus a moderate prohibi-
ton element. Keyes and Hazelton
will get the full republican vote on the
above estimate, less the prohibitionists,
who will largely increase this year.
The best figures that can now be made
as TO the probable division of the vote,
must concede the election of Jones: be-
yond that there is no certainty of any
thing. The prohibitionists have sur
prise in store for most of the astute
mathematicians.

NO. H..

the proposed constitution that the
central council of the new league coun-
cll consist of 50 members, one for each
county, the parliamentary party to have
no nominations, and none of its men,
bers pe eligible thereto. o'Connor said
this amendment amounted to vote
of want of conideace in the psrlia-
mentary party, and accused Davitt of
trying to injure Parnell's prestige, and
reiterated the statement despite Ds.
Wits repeated denials. Davitt became
greatly excited, and said gentleman
would not have made such accusation.
To prove it groundless he withdrew his
amendment. 1t was finally decided
that the council should consist of As
members, 80 for counties, and I6 for
the parliamentary party. A resolu-
ton thanking Parnell for presiding
over the deliberations and expressing
undated confidence in him, passed,
and the conference closed.

Beecher's Departure.

The withdrawal of Mr.. Beecher from
the association of congressional church
es, with which he has SC long been
connected, will cause sorrow rather
than surprise among many of his old
friends. 1t has long been known that
the pastor of Plymouth church cared
little for the distinctions between ortho-
doxy and heterodoxy. and he mas the
courage of his convictions. Even his
enemies must respect Mr.. Beecher for
the step he has taken. He does not
wish that any man or association of
men shall be responsible for his views.
The points on which Mr.. Beecher diff
fers from his brethren touch the atone
ment and future punishment. His
theory of the former is the moral in
huence theory. He can not think that
punishment after death is endless. Mr..
Beecher's withdrawal will not spread
SO much CONSERVATION among many
orthodox believers as the condition OF
things which his action has disclosed.
There was strong feeling expressed
in the association that the Plymouth
church preachers views were not so
different from those held by many
members as to make his withdrawal
necessary.

The annual report of Commissioner
Mcfarland, OF the general land office,
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1882,
has been completed. 1t shows that
disposals of public lands under all
acts of congress embraced 1S,99S, 40.S1
acres, and of Indian lands, SIC, 1856 IL
acres, making the total disposals H.
800, l26 so acres-an increase over dis
posals of the preceding year of S,4l2,-
729.35 acres. The amount of money
received from all sources in connection
with disposals of the public lands was
s7,75S. .29102, and from sales of Indian
lands $6Si. 5S7 -, total of $780,
S4S "a, being an increase over the pre-
vious year of S2.9S4 OLA oS. The total
area of public lands surveyed in the
several states and territories from the
beginning of surveying operations by
the government up to June so, 1882,
is s31, ,725.s .s6S acres. The estimated
area of the unsurveyed portion of the
public domain inclusive of the terri
tory of Alaska, is 9sS, ,062 759 acres.
Judge Mcfarland says: "a repeal
of the pre-emption law would simpli-
fy the public business and be in the
interest of public economy and good
administration. Such repeal would.
moreover, remove one of the causes
of frauds in land entries, which have
approached great magnitude"

GIVEN plenty of paper, lead pencils
and fervid imagination, it is mean
man who won't figure out his candi-
dates election. Several sets OF figures
have been projected upon an innocent
public by political prophets in this
district. Hazelton's friends are the
most apt at the business, while keyes'
hackers appear to be reticent in max
ing ante. election computations. The
democrats are content to wait until the
returns are in.
The latest estimate made finds it's
way to the Euening Wisconsin, and
elects Hazelton. A Hazelton man has
left at this Office another estimate,
which is reproduced here as basis
for those who delight in anticipating
results of elections. Here are the fig

Winnemucca's Bride Stoned to Death.

Naches, the Piute chief, informs that
a courier who left Camp Bidwell four
years ago reported old Winnemucca
alive, but speechless, and liable to die
at any moment. His young wife,
whom he married last July, ran away,
but was followed by Winnen1ucca's
friends and taken back to his camp.
She escaped second time and was
again caught, when Ochoho's Indians,
numbering about sixty braves, held a
council and decided to kill her. They
took the woman and her year old child
by husband who died some
months before she married old Winnie
mucca-to rocky bluff and stoned
both to death. Naches says that it has
been customary with the tribe to sacri-
fee squaws who are suspected of be-
witching men and making them sick,
by stoning them to death; but the ex-
cuse which Ochoho's men give for kill
ing this woman and child is that she
threatened to burn white mans
house. WinnemuccG Siluer State.

THE completed figures of the post
office business for the fiscal year show
that the increase of the revenue has
been $5,09l ,012 over those of the pre-
vious year, while the addition to the
expenses was but $7S7 ,S9S. The in
creased expenditure was due to the
rapid developm ent of the railroad sys-
tenn. The gross excess of receipts
over expenditures is 81, S36,775, from
which there should be deducted out
standing liabilities to the amount of
about S300,000. The number of post
offices established and re-established
during the fiscal year 1882 was 3,16S;
offices discontinued, 1,4Sl; new post
masters bonds issued, 800.
