Ibe limes!. McCtREGOR, MAY 25,1870. afit In a canyass made of the 32 women in flbyaltown, Vt., 14 women wish female mffrage, f>4 don't wish it, and 14 didn't hive any choice. Several ladies of our city are in favor Iff the voting business. We are not al- lowed to mention names, but the reason they give us for demanding the "right" is that they may learn who of their female ohums are foolish enough to to expose themselves to public ridicule! "We are §orry to notice than "Jennie June" (Mrs- Croly, one of the finest writers of gossip sad sense, well miBgled) was an actor on the "boards 1 ' of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in one of her late demonstrations tf female pantalooncy. Jennie would lave known better if she had called on reflection to guide her. Mrs. Qady S., in her long harangue to "ladies only," in- cluding, of course, a lot of Solomon's "all fa vanity and vexation of spirit" men, de- nounced Clay as an adulterer at Washing- ton while Mrs Clay was churning butter at Ashland; slightly anathametized McFar- lind for interfering with spiritual affinities hy shooting Richardson, and closed with a reference to Humboldt, Dickens, John- Stuart Mills, Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens and others, who had erred in their fencied affinity. Her argument, in brief, f|as that a jury of women should settle JU cases of domestic dissension and the parties be absolved from marriage vows in dbse they were mad at each other. Wc lieard, long ago of juries of women but they were called for different purposes than separation of man and wife ! Ben. franklin, the printers' saint, the model flk&n of our early Republic, is called li- (fentious in Paris while the representative of our country. We have a notion to clip from the N. Tribune of May 18th, the whole jture of this old termagant, simply to invert that portion of our lady readers ijfho have dreamed that the way to edu- cate a woman was to«eiya h^r with the ^ughness which necessarily attaches to flan isuhis business and social circulation. Vie Capitol Bill. Gen. Ilendrhk's paper, the Ottumwa S ourier, administers the following scath- g rebuke to the republican portion of e last general assembly. As the gener- al is one among the leading republicans of the Btate, his remarks are all the more cut- ifng; 1 "In despite of the deliberate action of Hie last republican state convention; in firect contravention of the wishes of nine- tenths of the tax payers of the state, a legislature which was almost a unit •gainst the measure when it assembled, hits finally been soft soldered,honey-fugled, coaxed and teased by the cunning arts of Wily women, and seduced by the equally potent aBd more substantial consideration of mercenary men, to deliberately vote to •addle upon us is this very pinch and cri- sis of our financial affairs, the intermina- ble and intolerable burdens of taxation necessary to erect a gorgeous capital at Des Moines, for the benefit of real estate •peculators in the neighborhood of its E roposed locality, and to enrich the greedy, ungry pack of cormorant contractors, who expect to handle the people's money io constructing it." But in connection with the above casti- gfction of the legislature by a leading Mdical paper, it should not be forgotten that this same General llendrick was one of the prime movers in getting this cor- rupt legislature to oppropriate fifteen thousand dollars to defray the expenses of a soldier-politico meeting at Des Moines Airing the canvass this fall. lie is as deep in the mire as the balance are in the mad. lie has helped to take from the treasury the most unjust appropriation, among the many, that was made by the last assembly. The whole radical party of the state have forfeited all the confi- dence the people ever placed in them. They have taxed a pe ople more heavily than those of almost any other section of the country. Yet they tell us that the state is out of debt. Where does the money go ? Into such appropriations as the $13,000 for a soldier's meeting, $150,- 000 for a state capitol, $80,000 to pay in- terest on a debt they tell us we do not •we, and a thousand other unjustifiable appropriations.—Burlington Argus. We have a Congress who are advised ty official figures, that despite the extra- ordinary expenditures, there will be a sur- plus revenue of $125,000,000 for the year, Mid yet they reject all propositions to re- duce taxation. The Senate has just voted lO renew the income tax ; and instead of Inducing the taxes upon the oommon ne- cessaries of life, the House is now con- ddering a bill to increase them in various »y •t Washington who, instead oi adminis- •ing i ways. We have a corps of revenue officers tering the law fairly and equitably, devote •11 their ability to the discovery of new Mid ingenious modes of hunting down the tax-payers, to extort extra shillings •lid additional pennies under technicali- ties which would disgrace a Police Court pettifogger, relying upon the fact that aincty-nine men out of every hundred Ifould rather pay an unjust tax than stand a lawsuit with the government. And ||ow, to cap the climax, it is proposed to puss a bill to contract the currency to the •mount of $300,000,000 in one year, and bankrupt everybody who has not already been bankrupted by paying taxes, under the pretence of reducing the interest on a ft suiull portion (less than one-eighth) of the national debt—a scheme, the very shadow of which has paralyzed every de- partment of trade and industry in the United States. The St. Paul Press publishes a totter forn Duluth which says that great excite- ment has been created there by the arri- •Hal of a large body of armed Fenians en Hpute to the aid of Riel at Red River. The Utter says: Each man is well armed with a breech- Ifading rifle, revolver and knife. Their gjlans, of which they made no secret, are ID go northward from here to Rainy Luke Or river, via Vermillion Lake, over the route lately traveled by Dr. Schultz. Their first stroke will be the capture of fort Francis, on Rainy Lake, which will fae garrisoned by a few men, while the aain army will harrass and dispute the passage of the British troops through the rivers, swamps, and mountains from Fort William te Red River. At the proper time they will march down and join Riel's fprces. One party has already started Overland py the vermillion road, and am Other will soon follaw, and a third is pre, Baring to the same, destination in canoes by way of the St. Louis and Vermillion rivers. They will march directly west to Bed River' over the traveld roads, crossing the Mississippi at Crow Wing. The forces here are all said to be commanded by a distinguished Confederato officer, who suc- cessfully fought General Banks in the Red Biver campaign Louisiana. The men are nearly all ex-soldiers, and are stalwart, hardy fellows, who seem to rejoice in an Miportunity to strike John Bull. The Press does not vouch for the truth •f this intelligence. Ex-Gov. Marshall, Who has just returned fromJJRed River, re. ports everything quite ; that Riel is the acknowledged master of the situation, and is daily expecting news from Canada favorable to the demands of the provisional gpvernmeot.— Wmma ItymbUem. Emigration. The foreign is heavy, Apprehended disturbances in Europe have something to do with it, but the bright openings in the western world have an influence quite im- possible to resist. Letters, many of thera containing drafts too, and tickets of pass- age from Ireland, Norway, Germany, Sweden, France and other trans-Atlantie countries, are daily sent from American offices, and the result is a re-union of frijnds in a land of freedom and of plen- ty. "Within the lust three weeks McGregor has receive 400 Norwegians, destined for Winneshiek and other counties west. No better people come to our shores. They all work. We will give the TIMES for five years to any one who will show us a healthy Norwegian loafer or idler. Where they "light"' the country is developed rap- idly. Somewhat out of dress on arrival, we admit, but the dress is their fashion and it is none of our business. We are all glad to see them come because I hey make the wild prairies an agricultural mine, and fill ettiM with Commercial wealth. The foreign immgration to and through this point is net all of it. Our ferry is houily boarded by teams carrying from 20 to 40 men, women and children, and followed, frequently, by 50 to 100 young cattle, bound for Minnesota, Sioux City, or any other place between this and sun- down. It is remarked that the horses look extraordinarily well, and the general dress-up of the movers is first rate. Not less than 400 family teams, accompanied by over 2,000 head of stock have landed at McGregor within the last thirty days, and still they come ! So is it at most ef the river crossings, and so it must be until the rich garden lands of the mighty west shall be occupied. Occasionally you MO a lazy-looking lot of folks, with dogs, old, single-barrelled shot guns, or flint lock rifles, hoop-pole gads, Tope lines and halters, dirty children with uncombed hair, boys with tora pants, girls with last year's unwashed sunbon- nets, starved horses and a few nasty cattle, sallow-looking women, scurvy, idle-look' ing men, steering back east to re-possess some fancied place of comfort near father and mother, or uncle and aunt, so that all can draw out a life of oyBterism together.

The following, from the Milwaukee Wisconsin, is an account of the inaugura- tion of a system, by the managers of the Western Union Telegraph Company, for the transmission of money from their principal offices, similar in many respects to the Post Office money order system. The Wisconsin says: A person wishing to make a quick pay- ment to another person in another place, has only to step into the telegraph office, depesit the amount of money he desires to pay, send a message to the payee that he has deposited a certain amount to his credit, naming the telegraph office at which it is payable, and almost before he leaves the office the payment will be made, though hundreds of miles separate the parties to the transaction, the office re- ceiving the money authorizes the office from which it is to be paid to pay the amount so deposited, and charge the amount to the office giving such author- ization. The rate of commission is one per cent. Orders ranging among the thousands may be obtained, and the amounts are only governed by the ability of the offices to which they are sent to pay. The system has been in operation but a few days, but its need has been so much felt that it is safe to believe it will be popular. The manager of the Milwau- kee, Mr. A. Weller, has authority to re- ceive and transmit telegraph money orders. Kasson beat Palmer in Des Moines for nomination to Congress. This is consid- ered by the press generally, to imply a sure nomination in the district. We are not so much in favor of Kasson. He teas a Republican. He then became a democrat in sympathy and semi-professed principles; he afterwards—the last can- vass stumped it for the Iowa Rep. State Ticket. Such a man, if we were so un- fortunate as to be a radical, is not of the kind to which we would TB. Too MATT CARPENTER-I8H. The Circus. It was a good one, the best McGreg- or ever witnessed. Neat, cleanly, moral, nice. Jim. Reynolds is the best clown we ever looked at, while all the other actors were complete in their parts. We speak universal sentiment when we say that no Circus was ever here that gave so much satisfaction to our people. The day exhibition was reasonably well attended, mostly by ladies and their little charges; at night, the large tent was well filled and every act was warmly applauded. Geo. W. DeHaven's name as a caterer to tlm* amusement-loving public, will nflt suffer by the brief stay of his troupe in McGregor. Mr. Joseph, his finan- cial manager, is not excelled in polite- ness or intelligence by any man that travels. We indorse the show strong- ly, not for pay but because it is worthy of patronage as an exhibition and its party as ladies and gentleman. Suc- cess to GEORGE!

The board of super- visors shall, at the time of levying the ordinary taxes next following said election, levy all taxes voted under the provisions of this act, and cause the same to be placed on the tax list of the proper township, cities or towns, and said taxes shall be collected at the same time, in the manner, and be subject to the same penalties for non-payment as other taxes : provided, that the aggregate amount of tax levied under the provisions of this act, in any township, city or town, shall not exceed five per centum of the assessed value of the property of said township, city or town. Sec. 3. The Funds collected under the provisions of this act shall be paid out by the county treasurer to the trea- surer of the railroad company, upon the orders of the president or managing di- rectors of the railroad company, whose road such tax has been voted to aid; which orders shall be accompanied by sworn est imates of the engineer in charge of the work on such road showing that double the amount of such orders lias been expended for the construction of such road, in accordance with the notice provided for in section two of this act, and also by a certificate signed by the members of the council or board of trus- tees, or a majority of the members there- of, of the township, city or town, voting the tax for which said orders are drawn, to the effect that the provisions of this act have been so complied with as to en- title said company to the amount called for by such orders, and it is hereby ex- pressly provided that no part of the funds raised under the provisions of this act, shall be expended in any other town- ships than those specified in the notice of election; Provided, however, that should the taxes not be drawn from the the county treasury in accordance with the provisions of this act by the rail road company in whose favor the same may have been voted, within two years after the date of the collection thereof, then the right of said railroad company to said funds shall be deemed forfeited, and the same shall be repaid by the county treasurer to the persons from whom the same may have been col- lected. By virtue af the absve act of the last General Assembly of Iowa, the people of Mendon Township will, on the first day of June next, vote for or against a Tax to aid the Dubuque and Minnesota Rail Road company through Mendon Township. It will be noted that no part of the Tax can be called for by the company till they have expended twice the amount called for on the line in the Township designated, and as the most expensive part of the work of the whole line lies within six miles of McGregor, above and below, ten times the amount of our tax will have to be expended within that dislance for actu- al labor and material, exclusive of iron, spikes, &c., purchased elsewhere. The tax voted will not be levied till fall, and will not be collected till March, and we are authorized to say if the company is not then actually progressing with their work, no collection will be made and no penalties will accrue until the Company are prepared to receive the tax in accord- ance with law. We would earnestly urge every citizen of this township to do all in his power, on the day of the election, to secure a full vote, that the vote "for" may not only carry, but carry by an over- whelming majority. : A.

Vernon, Ky., (May 14,) Correapoaimft of the Louisville Commercial. This whole part of the country was thrown into a state of great excitement some days ago over a terrible murder com- mitted just across the Rockcastle river, in the border of Laurel eonnty. The vic- tim's name was P. II. Bullock, a young lawyer of Laurel eonnty, and of good standing as a citizen. Young Bullock re- sided on his father's farm, between whom and some of his neighbors and relations by the name of Parker there has, for over a year, existed a mortal feud, which cul- uminated as above stated, in the death of young Bullock, and the wounding of his little brother, 16 years old, five times. The Bullooju were planting corn in a field adjoining t^very dense wood, and when within 50 yards of the wood, advancing toward it, they were suddenly fired on out of the brush by five or six persons ; two escaped unhurt of the party in the field. There was no positive proof against the Parkers, but a great many strong circum- stances pointed to theih as the murderers, and accordingly they were arrested, and, after some delay, tried before an examin- ing court, and committed for further trial without bail. On Saturday morning last (14th), at about 1 o'clock, the guard state that from 100 te 200 men, ai! in disguise, suddenly surrounded the jail and demand- ed the keys, telling the guard they did net "intend them any harm, but unless they surrendered the keys thev would tear down the jail." (I have neglected to say that four of the Parkers were arrested and in jail, and a man by the name of Win. Shelter, an accomplice, making five in all). The guard readily gave them up whereupon some of the party went in, took out the five unfortunate men, and, carrying them some half a mile from town on the Manchester road, hung four of them to one tree, wheie they were found the next morning b^ the citizens, stark and cold in death, with a notice pinned to one of them, "Don't cut them aown be- fore 12." The youngest of the five, Allie Parker, iB missing. It is unknown what became of him. Some think he probably escaped the mob. The people are, however, stricken oyer the act. All four of the doomed victims have left wives and little children to bewail their terrible fate. While in all proba- bility thev bad forfeited their lives to the laws of the country, still, all geod citizens condemn the act of hanging them. Thus, within the short space of two weeks, out of one little neighborhood, five human beings, in the prime and vigor of man- hood, have been hurled into eternity with- out warning, and unprepared, and five families of women and little children, be- sides gray-haired fathers and tottering old muthers, bowed down in sorrow, heart- broken, bereft, and refusing to be com- forted. London, (May 15) Correspondent of the Louisville Commercial. On Monday, the ( Jth inst., five men, viz: William Sbelton, Pleasant Parker, Daniel Parker, Willis Parker, and Alex. Parker, Jr., after a full and fair investigation be- fore a court of inquiry, were committed to our county jail, upon a charge of mur- der, and three of our eitizens appointed to guard the ja& Last ni&bt, about 11 o'clock, a party of men, perhaps 70 in number, all under mask, entered the town, and called on the jailor for the keys. After a short parley, he told them tue guard had the keyw. Thev then repaired to the iail, deman ded the keys of the guard, took the fire men above named about one-half mile from town, on the Manchester road, and bung four of them on oae tree; the other, Alex. Parker, has not been found. There is a rope lying at the tree as if prepared for use. What his fate is I am unable to say. This is the first opeiation of the kind in this county, »Bd may it be the last. The killing of which the persons were charged was a cruel assassination—one n>an killed and a boy dangerously wound- ed— the proof against them was altogether circumstantial, but of such a character as to impress the whole community with the belief of their guilt—nevertheless our cit- zers greatly deplore the event of last JB«ght.

McCtREGOR, MAY 25,1870. afit

In a canyass made of the 32 women in flbyaltown, Vt., 14 women wish female mffrage, f>4 don't wish it, and 14 didn't hive any choice.

Several ladies of our city are in favor Iff the voting business. We are not al­lowed to mention names, but the reason they give us for demanding the "right" is that they may learn who of their female ohums are foolish enough to to expose themselves to public ridicule! "We are §orry to notice than "Jennie June" (Mrs-Croly, one of the finest writers of gossip sad sense, well miBgled) was an actor on the "boards1' of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in one of her late demonstrations tf female pantalooncy. Jennie would lave known better if she had called on reflection to guide her. Mrs. Qady S., in her long harangue to "ladies only," in­cluding, of course, a lot of Solomon's "all fa vanity and vexation of spirit" men, de­nounced Clay as an adulterer at Washing­ton while Mrs Clay was churning butter at Ashland; slightly anathametized McFar-lind for interfering with spiritual affinities hy shooting Richardson, and closed with a reference to Humboldt, Dickens, John-Stuart Mills, Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens and others, who had erred in their fencied affinity. Her argument, in brief, f|as that a jury of women should settle JU cases of domestic dissension and the parties be absolved from marriage vows in dbse they were mad at each other. Wc lieard, long ago of juries of women but they were called for different purposes than separation of man and wife ! Ben. franklin, the printers' saint, the model flk&n of our early Republic, is called li-(fentious in Paris while the representative of our country.

We have a notion to clip from the N. Tribune of May 18th, the whole

jture of this old termagant, simply to invert that portion of our lady readers

ijfho have dreamed that the way to edu­cate a woman was to«eiya h^r with the ^ughness which necessarily attaches to flan isuhis business and social circulation.

Vie Capitol Bill. Gen. Ilendrhk's paper, the Ottumwa

Sourier, administers the following scath-g rebuke to the republican portion of e last general assembly. As the gener­

al is one among the leading republicans of the Btate, his remarks are all the more cut-ifng; 1 "In despite of the deliberate action of

Hie last republican state convention; in firect contravention of the wishes of nine-tenths of the tax payers of the state, a legislature which was almost a unit •gainst the measure when it assembled, hits finally been soft soldered,honey-fugled, coaxed and teased by the cunning arts of Wily women, and seduced by the equally potent aBd more substantial consideration of mercenary men, to deliberately vote to •addle upon us is this very pinch and cri­sis of our financial affairs, the intermina­ble and intolerable burdens of taxation necessary to erect a gorgeous capital at Des Moines, for the benefit of real estate •peculators in the neighborhood of its

Eroposed locality, and to enrich the greedy, ungry pack of cormorant contractors,

who expect to handle the people's money io constructing it."

But in connection with the above casti-gfction of the legislature by a leading Mdical paper, it should not be forgotten that this same General llendrick was one of the prime movers in getting this cor­rupt legislature to oppropriate fifteen thousand dollars to defray the expenses of a soldier-politico meeting at Des Moines Airing the canvass this fall. lie is as deep in the mire as the balance are in the mad. lie has helped to take from the treasury the most unjust appropriation, among the many, that was made by the last assembly. The whole radical party of the state have forfeited all the confi­dence the people ever placed in them. They have taxed a pe ople more heavily than those of almost any other section of the country. Yet they tell us that the state is out of debt. Where does the money go ? Into such appropriations as the $13,000 for a soldier's meeting, $150,-000 for a state capitol, $80,000 to pay in­terest on a debt they tell us we do not •we, and a thousand other unjustifiable appropriations.—Burlington Argus.

We have a Congress who are advised ty official figures, that despite the extra­ordinary expenditures, there will be a sur­plus revenue of $125,000,000 for the year, Mid yet they reject all propositions to re­duce taxation. The Senate has just voted lO renew the income tax ; and instead of Inducing the taxes upon the oommon ne­cessaries of life, the House is now con-ddering a bill to increase them in various

»y •t Washington who, instead oi adminis-

•ing i ways. We have a corps of revenue officers

tering the law fairly and equitably, devote •11 their ability to the discovery of new Mid ingenious modes of hunting down the tax-payers, to extort extra shillings •lid additional pennies under technicali­ties which would disgrace a Police Court pettifogger, relying upon the fact that aincty-nine men out of every hundred Ifould rather pay an unjust tax than stand a lawsuit with the government. And ||ow, to cap the climax, it is proposed to puss a bill to contract the currency to the •mount of $300,000,000 in one year, and bankrupt everybody who has not already been bankrupted by paying taxes, under the pretence of reducing the interest on a ft suiull portion (less than one-eighth) of the national debt—a scheme, the very shadow of which has paralyzed every de­partment of trade and industry in the United States.

The St. Paul Press publishes a totter forn Duluth which says that great excite­ment has been created there by the arri-•Hal of a large body of armed Fenians en Hpute to the aid of Riel at Red River. The Utter says:

Each man is well armed with a breech-Ifading rifle, revolver and knife. Their gjlans, of which they made no secret, are ID go northward from here to Rainy Luke Or river, via Vermillion Lake, over the route lately traveled by Dr. Schultz. Their first stroke will be the capture of fort Francis, on Rainy Lake, which will fae garrisoned by a few men, while the aain army will harrass and dispute the passage of the British troops through the rivers, swamps, and mountains from Fort William te Red River. At the proper time they will march down and join Riel's fprces. One party has already started Overland py the vermillion road, and am Other will soon follaw, and a third is pre, Baring to the same, destination in canoes by way of the St. Louis and Vermillion rivers. They will march directly west to Bed River' over the traveld roads, crossing the Mississippi at Crow Wing. The forces here are all said to be commanded by a distinguished Confederato officer, who suc­cessfully fought General Banks in the Red Biver campaign Louisiana. The men are nearly all ex-soldiers, and are stalwart, hardy fellows, who seem to rejoice in an Miportunity to strike John Bull.

The Press does not vouch for the truth •f this intelligence. Ex-Gov. Marshall, Who has just returned fromJJRed River, re. ports everything quite ; that Riel is the acknowledged master of the situation, and is daily expecting news from Canada favorable to the demands of the provisional gpvernmeot.— Wmma ItymbUem.

Emigration. The foreign is heavy, Apprehended

disturbances in Europe have something to do with it, but the bright openings in the western world have an influence quite im­possible to resist. Letters, many of thera containing drafts too, and tickets of pass­age from Ireland, Norway, Germany, Sweden, France and other trans-Atlantie countries, are daily sent from American offices, and the result is a re-union of frijnds in a land of freedom and of plen­ty. "Within the lust three weeks McGregor has receive 400 Norwegians, destined for Winneshiek and other counties west. No better people come to our shores. They all work. We will give the TIMES for five years to any one who will show us a healthy Norwegian loafer or idler. Where they "light"' the country is developed rap­idly. Somewhat out of dress on arrival, we admit, but the dress is their fashion and it is none of our business. We are all glad to see them come because I hey make the wild prairies an agricultural mine, and fill ettiM with Commercial wealth.

The foreign immgration to and through this point is net all of it. Our ferry is houily boarded by teams carrying from 20 to 40 men, women and children, and followed, frequently, by 50 to 100 young cattle, bound for Minnesota, Sioux City, or any other place between this and sun­down. It is remarked that the horses look extraordinarily well, and the general dress-up of the movers is first rate. Not less than 400 family teams, accompanied by over 2,000 head of stock have landed at McGregor within the last thirty days, and still they come ! So is it at most ef the river crossings, and so it must be until the rich garden lands of the mighty west shall be occupied.

Occasionally you MO a lazy-looking lot of folks, with dogs, old, single-barrelled shot guns, or flint lock rifles, hoop-pole gads, Tope lines and halters, dirty children with uncombed hair, boys with tora pants, girls with last year's unwashed sunbon-nets, starved horses and a few nasty cattle, sallow-looking women, scurvy, idle-look' ing men, steering back east to re-possess some fancied place of comfort near father and mother, or uncle and aunt, so that all can draw out a life of oyBterism together. It requires encgy to battle with a new country, and the parties here described do well to return to their old ash heaps. They are entitled to the credit of seeking their social level. We wa$&. aa such un« washed.specimens in Iowai.

Telegraph Money Orders. The following, from the Milwaukee

Wisconsin, is an account of the inaugura­tion of a system, by the managers of the Western Union Telegraph Company, for the transmission of money from their principal offices, similar in many respects to the Post Office money order system. The Wisconsin says:

A person wishing to make a quick pay­ment to another person in another place, has only to step into the telegraph office, depesit the amount of money he desires to pay, send a message to the payee that he has deposited a certain amount to his credit, naming the telegraph office at which it is payable, and almost before he leaves the office the payment will be made, though hundreds of miles separate the parties to the transaction, the office re­ceiving the money authorizes the office from which it is to be paid to pay the amount so deposited, and charge the amount to the office giving such author­ization. The rate of commission is one per cent. Orders ranging among the thousands may be obtained, and the amounts are only governed by the ability of the offices to which they are sent to pay. The system has been in operation but a few days, but its need has been so much felt that it is safe to believe it will be popular. The manager of the Milwau­kee, Mr. A. Weller, has authority to re­ceive and transmit telegraph money orders.

Kasson beat Palmer in Des Moines for nomination to Congress. This is consid­ered by the press generally, to imply a sure nomination in the district. We are not so much in favor of Kasson. He teas a Republican. He then became a democrat in sympathy and semi-professed principles; he afterwards—the last can­vass stumped it for the Iowa Rep. State Ticket. Such a man, if we were so un­fortunate as to be a radical, is not of the kind to which we would TB. Too MATT CARPENTER-I8H.

The Circus. It was a good one, the best McGreg­

or ever witnessed. Neat, cleanly, moral, nice. Jim. Reynolds is the best clown we ever looked at, while all the other actors were complete in their parts. We speak universal sentiment when we say that no Circus was ever here that gave so much satisfaction to our people. The day exhibition was reasonably well attended, mostly by ladies and their little charges; at night, the large tent was well filled and every act was warmly applauded. Geo. W. DeHaven's name as a caterer to tlm* amusement-loving public, will nflt suffer by the brief stay of his troupe in McGregor. Mr. Joseph, his finan­cial manager, is not excelled in polite­ness or intelligence by any man that travels. We indorse the show strong­ly, not for pay but because it is worthy of patronage as an exhibition and its party as ladies and gentleman. Suc­cess to GEORGE!

Wheat in this market to-day was active, firm and excited and prices improved 2(«, 2i bu., with sales at $l(V/.l.0l for No. 1; y5^(«'JSc for No. 2; 8G(*f86jc for No. 3 and 75(«,75£c for rejected spring in store —closing dull at (j7c cash, and steady at

Arrest that terrible Catarrh, and thus avoid a consumptive's grave, by using Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It's not war­ranted to cure Consumption when the lungs are half consumed, nor to make men live forever, nor to make this earth a blissful Paradise to which heaven shall be but a side-show, but the proprietor will pay £500 reward for a case of Catarrh which he cannot cure.

The board of super­visors shall, at the time of levying the ordinary taxes next following said election, levy all taxes voted under the provisions of this act, and cause the same to be placed on the tax list of the proper township, cities or towns, and said taxes shall be collected at the same time, in the manner, and be subject to the same penalties for non-payment as other taxes : provided, that the aggregate amount of tax levied under the provisions of this act, in any township, city or town, shall not exceed five per centum of the assessed value of the property of said township, city or town.

The Funds collected under the provisions of this act shall be paid out by the county treasurer to the trea­surer of the railroad company, upon the orders of the president or managing di­rectors of the railroad company, whose road such tax has been voted to aid; which orders shall be accompanied by sworn est imates of the engineer in charge of the work on such road showing that double the amount of such orders lias been expended for the construction of such road, in accordance with the notice provided for in section two of this act, and also by a certificate signed by the members of the council or board of trus­tees, or a majority of the members there­of, of the township, city or town, voting the tax for which said orders are drawn, to the effect that the provisions of this act have been so complied with as to en­title said company to the amount called for by such orders, and it is hereby ex­pressly provided that no part of the funds raised under the provisions of this act, shall be expended in any other town­ships than those specified in the notice of election; Provided, however, that should the taxes not be drawn from the the county treasury in accordance with the provisions of this act by the rail road company in whose favor the same may have been voted, within two years after the date of the collection thereof, then the right of said railroad company to said funds shall be deemed forfeited, and the same shall be repaid by the county treasurer to the persons from whom the same may have been col­lected.

By virtue af the absve act of the last General Assembly of Iowa, the people of Mendon Township will, on the first day of June next, vote for or against a Tax to aid the Dubuque and Minnesota Rail Road company through Mendon Township. It will be noted that no part of the Tax can be called for by the company till they have expended twice the amount called for on the line in the Township designated, and as the most expensive part of the work of the whole line lies within six miles of McGregor, above and below, ten times the amount of our tax will have to be expended within that dislance for actu­al labor and material, exclusive of iron, spikes, &c., purchased elsewhere. The tax voted will not be levied till fall, and will not be collected till March, and we are authorized to say if the company is not then actually progressing with their work, no collection will be made and no penalties will accrue until the Company are prepared to receive the tax in accord­ance with law. We would earnestly urge every citizen of this township to do all in his power, on the day of the election, to secure a full vote, that the vote "for" may not only carry, but carry by an over­whelming majority. : A. T. JONES.

Lynch Law—Horrible Tragedy in Laur­el County, Kentucky..Four Men Hanged by a Mob.

Mt. Vernon, Ky., (May 14,) Correapoaimft of the Louisville Commercial.

This whole part of the country was thrown into a state of great excitement some days ago over a terrible murder com­mitted just across the Rockcastle river, in the border of Laurel eonnty. The vic­tim's name was P. II. Bullock, a young lawyer of Laurel eonnty, and of good standing as a citizen. Young Bullock re­sided on his father's farm, between whom and some of his neighbors and relations by the name of Parker there has, for over a year, existed a mortal feud, which cul-uminated as above stated, in the death of young Bullock, and the wounding of his little brother, 16 years old, five times. The Bullooju were planting corn in a field adjoining t^very dense wood, and when within 50 yards of the wood, advancing toward it, they were suddenly fired on out of the brush by five or six persons ; two escaped unhurt of the party in the field. There was no positive proof against the Parkers, but a great many strong circum­stances pointed to theih as the murderers, and accordingly they were arrested, and, after some delay, tried before an examin­ing court, and committed for further trial without bail. On Saturday morning last (14th), at about 1 o'clock, the guard state that from 100 te 200 men, ai! in disguise, suddenly surrounded the jail and demand­ed the keys, telling the guard they did net "intend them any harm, but unless they surrendered the keys thev would tear down the jail." (I have neglected to say that four of the Parkers were arrested and in jail, and a man by the name of Win. Shelter, an accomplice, making five in all). The guard readily gave them up whereupon some of the party went in, took out the five unfortunate men, and, carrying them some half a mile from town on the Manchester road, hung four of them to one tree, wheie they were found the next morning b^ the citizens, stark and cold in death, with a notice pinned to one of them, "Don't cut them aown be­fore 12."

The youngest of the five, Allie Parker, iB missing. It is unknown what became of him. Some think he probably escaped the mob.

The people are, however, stricken oyer the act.

All four of the doomed victims have left wives and little children to bewail their terrible fate. While in all proba­bility thev bad forfeited their lives to the laws of the country, still, all geod citizens condemn the act of hanging them. Thus, within the short space of two weeks, out of one little neighborhood, five human beings, in the prime and vigor of man­hood, have been hurled into eternity with­out warning, and unprepared, and five families of women and little children, be­sides gray-haired fathers and tottering old muthers, bowed down in sorrow, heart­broken, bereft, and refusing to be com­forted. London, (May 15) Correspondent of the Louisville

Commercial. On Monday, the (Jth inst., five men, viz:

William Sbelton, Pleasant Parker, Daniel Parker, Willis Parker, and Alex. Parker, Jr., after a full and fair investigation be­fore a court of inquiry, were committed to our county jail, upon a charge of mur­der, and three of our eitizens appointed to guard the ja&

Last ni&bt, about 11 o'clock, a party of men, perhaps 70 in number, all under mask, entered the town, and called on the jailor for the keys. After a short parley, he told them tue guard had the keyw. Thev then repaired to the iail, deman ded the keys of the guard, took the fire men above named about one-half mile from town, on the Manchester road, and bung four of them on oae tree; the other, Alex. Parker, has not been found. There is a rope lying at the tree as if prepared for use. What his fate is I am unable to say.

This is the first opeiation of the kind in this county, »Bd may it be the last. The killing of which the persons were charged was a cruel assassination—one n>an killed and a boy dangerously wound­ed— the proof against them was altogether circumstantial, but of such a character as to impress the whole community with the belief of their guilt—nevertheless our cit-zers greatly deplore the event of last JB«ght.

DIED—At McGregor, May 24th, 1870, Joiiv, youngest son of John M. and fc. M. Burbridge, aged 18 months.
