The persistenoy Of would-be poll

difficulties is truly wonderful so, in
fact, are the stories they advance ip

localities. Were they more astute and
less blinded by their own conceit they
would certainly know that these con-

A LErrER FROM TILE ASSESSOR.

EDITOR SUN,--I, the assessor Of Rondell town
ship, hearing SO much kicking about the assess
ments and taxes in our town and seeing the
Stems" throw all the blame on me alone, would
like to know what our town board is for If not
to equalize and correct my work. i think some
of the enormous mistakes should have been
noticed when the board met, as the town was
well represented had plat Of the town purL
porting to have all the decided land on it. Said
plat and my work corrosponded. In the first
place the county officers did not send nay rolls
and schedules without my writing three or four
times for them; and then received the rolls
May LIST and the schedules june 9Th, and the
rolls we're to be equalized and sent in. the irst
Monday in July, giving very short time to do
my work in. do not blame the board for what
did not do or left undons, but the county
clerk, who furnished the plats and restricted my
assessment to the lands described therein, ID 90
much to blame as anyone. Assessor,

second only to the persecution Of our
fathers by George /. Is our only re-
manning hope IN cutting away from the
old'county altogether and forming anew
one on the basis proposed two years
ago? If it is, let us get about it with
all our might,
The latest upon the matter is that
the bill has been amended by the
council committee SO that the register
of deeds, county treasurer, sheriff,
county, attorney, judge of probate,
superintendent of schools and Com
missioner LAWN shall redistrict the
county and the people elect the COM
missioners. The bill is now eminently
fair upon its face, but in all probabil-
ity will not be concurred in by its
original promoters, who introduced it
for personal motives. Thepeople have
cause for rejoicing over their escape
from the Vaccinations of a certain
faction of politicians in this county.

The extent to which the county was
gerrymandered in the formation of
nine commissioner districts may be
Judged from the fact that district No.
8, composed of the townships of Aber-
deem, Mercer, Newhope and Warner,
contains over fourth of the popula-
ton of the entire county. 1t is said
this portion of the county was given
one more commissioned by the original
draft of the bill, and the change was
made because Jno. Ell. Drake placed
the district in bad odor and antagonized
everybody with whom he came in con-
tact. This report comes straight from
headquarters and is said to have caused
his recall from the capital.

IT is not plain to the average AmeTi-
can mind what Gen. Woolseley hopes
to accomplish by suppressing news
from the Soudan. His courSe tends
rather to eA. lite than to allay anxiety
and leads the people to mistrust the
garbled dispatches published by the war
department. Or perhaps he thinks
the ordinary Englishman is not to be
trusted with full bill Of particulars
when the fates Of war are against him.

Gov, PIERCE has vetoed the bill
dividing Sphinx county and locating
the county seat at Ashton and in his
veto message reads lecture upon
county seat and county division schemes
which the legislature cannot fail to
understand. The governor wishes it
distinctly understood that all such
matters should be determined directly
BY the people themselves, and that he
will withhold his consent from any
measure promoted by speculation.

OUT.HERODING HEROD.
The latest addition to Brown coun-
ty's political history is undoubtedly the
greatest outrage yet perpetrated upon
therights of her citizens as men capable
and worthy of having voice in the
management of their own affairs. We
refer to the bill now before the legis-
lature dividing the county into nine
commissioner districts and appointing
persons to fill these offices of trust and |
responsibility without even the formal
consent of the electors In order to
set forth theenormity in all its hideous-
ness of snap legislation and attempted
subversion of the popular viii, and to
expose the source from whence it
sprung, it is only necessary to describe
the proposed districts, which are con-
SClLuUeu DIS lOllOWS.
1. Palmyra, Allison, Frederick,
Osceola and Sayo.
2. Liberty, Portage and Detroit
8. Greenfield, Shelby and Lansing.
4. Columbia, Claremont, Riverside
and Cambria.
5. Brainard, Oneota and Westport.
6. 0rdway and Carlisle.
z. Groton, Henry, Hanson and Gar
den Prairie.
s. Bath, Gem and Rondell
@. Aberdeen, Mercer, Newhope and
Warner,
The bill also provides that the
following named persons shall act as
commissioners for the several districts
1. G. G. Holland.
2. S. G. Hedger.
8. Chas. Flanders.

Aside from the tyranny Of changing
our mode Of county government with
out first consulting the people, the very
boundaries of the districts themselves
are enough to condemn the scheme.
For instance, the two townships OF
Ordway and Carlisle constitute one
district, while the four townships Of
Aberdeen, Mercer, Newhope and War
ner are crowded into another. Is that
not enough Of itself to brand the bill
as infamous and its promoters as low,
unscrupulous tricksters who viii notI

furtherance of their schemes? Inl
Gods name, where will the line be
drawn and at what limit will our legis-
lature stop in thus depriving the pee-i
pie Of their rightsas sovereign American
citizens? Are we to choose one form
Of government to-day and have another
forced upon us tomorrow by persons
chosen to champion our rights? Are
we to be deprived Of our franchise and
is the very choosing Of our officers to
~
be taken from us? We're even that
boon left, the scheme would not appear
50 utterly corrupt, but for a year or
more we are to be governed by toolsl
and figureheads, for no man possessed
of official qualifications would accept
