DEATH OF DANIEL BRAYTON.

The news of Mr.. Daniel Brayton's
death was received in this city Friday
evening last. In the afternoon of that
day his wife received II telegram of his
low condition, and took the first train
for Milwaukee. but arrived there too
late To find her husband alive.
For some months, Mr.. Brayton had
been afflicted with a cancer in his face.
In April he had a surgical operation
performed, but it only gave him temper
airy relief. About the first of July he
went to Milwaukee, where his brother
resides, to undergo a course of treat
ment, but to no avail.
Mr. Brayton was man highly esteem
ed by his fellow citizens. In an early
day he settled i'm Watonwan county, re-
moving with his family to MankatO about
three years ago. He served during the
Sioux war as member of the Second
Cavalry. He leaves wife and seve raj
children to mourn his loss.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.

In 1860, if we are correctly informed,
Rev. Jno. Kerns was appointed to the
land office at st. Peter. His bondsmen
were L. ID. Warren, ID. II. Brooks, ID. II.
Tyner, N. Powell and a. l.. Hazleton.
Warren and Tyner are dead, Powell re-
sides in Kansas, Mr.. Brooks is still a
resident of Blue Earth county, and
fIazleton's residence we could not as
certain. 1t now turns up that Mr.. Kerns
was about Sl30 short in his account, and
on Monday Mr.. Brooks was served with
papers, demanding the amount of this
deficiency, together with interest there
on at 6 per cent from May Goth, 1865,
and costs of suit. Mr.. b. seems to be
the only responsible surviving bonds
man, and there is little doubt but he
will be forced to put up the amount de-
manded.
Those who knew Mr.. Kerns pronounce
him a thoroughly reliable gentleman,
and in all probability the shortage If
due to some laundering and careless
clerk who had the settlement OF his ac-
count, and not to any willful IRREGULAR
ty on the part of Mr.. Kerns. The law
of holding sureties on bond for an in
definite period is radically wrong and
entirely unnecessary. There should be
a point of rest when bondsman could
he released from obligation. When an
official retires from Office his accounts
should be Immediately adjusted and his
sureties discharged within reasonable
time thereafter. Otherwise he has nc
assurance that he will not be called up.
on to pay heavy penalties long after the
principal shall have become deceased
and all chance for proving the claim un.
just a matter of impossibility. The de-
partment clerks are not infallible, and
an error i'm time that could be satisfac-
torily explained, might in after years in
yolve, as in the present case, heavy ex.
pense and unjust burdens.

ENGAGED.

The lecture committee of Wilkin Post
have decided TO secure Urso, Potter and
Field, which fact assures to our people
three exceptionally fine entertainments.
1t may perhaps be proper to here re-
mark that the proceeds derived from
these entertainments will he applied to
the Wilkin Post Monument Fund. Our
citizens all know of the handsome inn
provements that have been made OH the
little park on Lincoln street, and to
complete the grounds and erect mon
ument to the memory of our soldier
dead is the aim and ambition of the
Post. To secure needed funds the Post,
instead of circulating subscription pa
pers and asking contributions, offer n
class of superb entertainments at unu-
sually low prices, that all may receive
full value for the money expended.
The object is worthy of hearty support,
and the character of the popular star
course is of such high grade as TO guar
antee crowded houses every night.
II is believed our people will appreci-
ate this and be governed accordingly.
The editor of the Lake Crystal Union
not infrequently sees things through
green goggles. His optical delusIon re-
garding the motive of THE FREE Press in
suggesting the propriety of two cOnven-
tons is certainly pitiable. The real fact
r Al. 10 of
sons why the convention for selecting
delegates to the State convention and
the nomination of county officers should
be held upon different dates, but If the
county committee shall, i'm their good
judgment, determine otherwise, The
FREE Press will have nOgrievances. This
paper has no saw to file, and its editor
asks no political favors. The fact that
the Union is opposed to two separate
conventions" il of itself sufficient to
convince the county committee of their
duty in the premises. The truth is, and
it is no secret, that the politicians and
wire-pulers i'm local matters want one
convention. Whether the mass of the
people do or not will haye TO be de-
termlned by better authority than the
Union. IL is conceded that the farmers
should have something 10 say regarding
matters political, State as well az county,
and such having heretofore been the
case, there will be no liberation of any
effort or scheming to reverse the order
of things. And for this very reason,
and that the people as a Whole may ex-
press their preferences without fear or
favor, combinations or entanglements,
two conventions should be held, There
are some things which the Union editor
knows as well as anyone else, and there
are other things that he guesses ut with
about as little justifiable reason as any
one we know. 1t is just possible that
the Union wants to run the "mercheen,
is little afraid it can't, and ID therefore

sion regarding the true position OF The

War, aye war to the knife. exists be-
tween the Mexican Assembly of the
Knights Of Labor who are the deter
mined and Formidable opponents OF the
ring" and the Mutuslista, who are OF
the ring, and the breach between them
is becoming wider every day. When
the Mutualista decided to celebrate
their Independence day at the springs
on the 10th instant, the Mexican Assem-
bly, was supposed to take part, but a
very subordinate one. as though they
were dogs following their master. The
Mexican Knights did not see this and
then the Mutualista proposed to ignore
them. Then the Mexican Assembly pro-
posed to get up a celebration Of their
own, and invited all the sister assemblies
of Knights OF Labor to celebrate
with them. The invitation was
cordially accepted. and when the
Mutualista saw that the Mexican
knights OF Labor would get up a better
and more influential festival, they again
open negotiation for joint celebration.
The Mexican assembly agreed, provided
that the Knights Of Labor, including the
colOred assembly, were given first place
in the procession and honored at the
springs. Some prominent members OF
the Mutualists objected to this and de-
clared that they would rather be hung
than celebrate with the - niggers. At a
meeting of the Mexican assembly held
at Perroni's gardens on Saturday this
answer was reported, and 1t was re-
solved that it was an open insult to the
colored assembly OF Knights Of Labor,
and cOlOred men generally of the civ
negotiations were then declared of and
1t was arranged that an indignation
meeting should be held at Krisch hall
on Tuesday evening, when the colored
people should have the opportunity Of
replying to the Mutualista society, and
resolutions be passed, sustaining the
Mexican Knights in their endeavor to
maintain liberty, equality and fraternity
