I th wife my no but the terms of the specifications, Mr. Carpenter's was undoubtedly the lowest as applied to the actual requirements of the State, the bid of Mr. Calkins was much the lowest. a regard to the right of the Commissioners to throw up, and take a new deal, we have nothing to say.

This question is now under going a judicial investigatian, in the case of Mr. Wakeley, and Soon will be decided. We have no hope that Mr. Booth will be satisfied with any letting, until the requirements shall be that no bid will be considered by the Commissioners, that is lower anil better than that emanating from the Free Democrat oilice; hence, we shall never expect to see him satisfied. i Assembly Xominatlan.

The Republicans of the Southern District iu this County, composed of the towns of Blooniirg Grove, Dunn, Oregon, Fitchburg, Verona and Montrose, held a convention on Saturday last, and nominated Richard Fhost. Ea of Blooaiinp: Grove, as their candidate lor the Assembly.

The Cincinnati Gazette of the 22d, has the following with reference to the columns preparing tor the capitol at Madison "The largest castings of iron columns ever undertaken, probably in tho United States, are now in process construction, and nearly finished, by Messrs. Macy, Bankin iron founders, corner of Pearl and Elm Sts. They consist of twelve immense cast iron columns, fitly feet in height, and four feet two inches in diameter.

Tney are on contract for the State House at Madison, Wisconsin, and are to be placed in a semicircle of 112 feet. The style is Corinthian. The cornices are also to be of cast iron, with dentals aud tresses projecting fonr feet. 5 The entire weight will be between two aud three hundred tons, and the contract price $30,000. The contract was made on the 1st of August, aud the whole to bo completed in the short space of sixty days.

It was thought by many persons they could not be cast of this size, but the result has removed all doubt upon this point. Gen. McDonnel has recently been to Cin cinnati, and informs us that tne work is progressing finely, and is in all respects ripht. Portions of it have been shipped and will bo here in a few days.

The Harvest Moon is so called because about the time of the autum nal equinox, and when the fruits of the Harvest are being brought in, the moon rises at nearly the same hour shortly alter sunset for several nights in succession. If this statement be correct, will some one explain why it is that at this particular sea son the moon indulges in such irregulars yCERlST. i Military.

Thomas Reynolds, Aid-de-Camp. The Free Democrat complains of the course pursued by the Commissioners in not awarding the printing upon the bids of Thursday last. It complains that the bid of Pump Carpenter was a swindle, because applied to the actual work, it is too high. It complains that Mr. Calkins' bid is a swin die because applied to the actual work it is too low.

It holds that its own bid is the ex act golden mean, and that the state printing should have ben awarded to it. The Madison Demokrat, a German paper ia this city, has an easy way of disposing of Judge Dunn's record in the Constitutional It says "Another lie, which they (the State Journal and those that fol low its lead,) publish, is the barge that (Judge Dunn,) has favored five years resi dence of aliens," (as a prerequisite of voting.

And the time ia now. drawing nigh that will prove whether, and how much of this talk and profession of hospitality has been Jwn-comb and how much genuine and honenti In order to put the matter in the best pos sible shape to serve the necessity, a thorough and judicious committee has been appointed, at a citizens meeting, to canvass the' entire ciy and vicinity, from five to seven mile3 around, in the most thorough and complete manner possible and they have commenced their labors, and we are glad to learn lroin them, that in very many cases they are meet ing with the utmost cordiality and generous tenders of accommodations, to the fullest extent of the capacity of the parties, in both city and country. Thus the work goes bravely on, and will, despite of an occasional small who pre fers winding himself up in his coil, like an aristocratic Greek, rather than to exercise a noble and whole-souled hospitality on a great and extraordinary occasion.

Madison has a large number of good and roomy houses, fn which to accommodate a company on such an occasion, and thousands in attend ance at the Fair will find shelter in them in some cases gratia, and iu all cases at rea eonable prices Madison has been accused of being want. ing in hospitality, and the coming event will prove or disprove it: which verdict shall we allow to go forth just atthe present juncture That 's the question we wish our citizens to consider. I have a house only large enough ordinarily for my own family, but to my surprise and satisfaction, I find, on can vassiug its utmost capacity, both house and barn, that I can accommodate at leat thirty additional persons, by close crowding and little shaking down, which process of pack ng we find wonderfully facilitated by a tol erable absence of starch, and other skeleton ucumbrances. We have not stated what we were going to do in the an especial rule for others, but from thought that it might be suggestive to all suck as have but a small faculty of overcoming difficulties In conclusion, we would say, that we do not intendy nor have we a desire, to reflect upon any, but, in an emergency, we like to see each and all, as ready to do their share, as they are to come forward and share any prospective or offered benefit. We will add, for the benefit of those seek ing places, that the present canvassing com.

mittee, will then act in the capacity of a distributing committee," and for that purpoue they will have some central office in the city and on the Fair Grounds where strangers arriving, can readily find them. Respectfully Yours, D. J. POWERS. A Good Nominat Mr.

Sholes of the Milwaukee Free Democrat, who was former ly a fellow townsman of Mr. Murray 'f, and knowa hini intimately, says: i We notice that Joseph Murray is the nom inee for Clerk of the County Bord, on the Republican ticket, for Dane Co. This is a well desered compliment on the part of the Republican party to a consistent, reliable, and working members of the party. It is, however, not onlv a fit nomination in that respect, but peculiarly fit in view of the qualifications of the nominee of that place. As the favorite for several years of the vo ters of the city ot Kenosha, Mr.

M. has seen considerable service ot that kind an experi ence which, added to his natural capacity, leaves nothing to be desired in the way of qualifications for the duties sought, lhe vo ters of Dane will consult their interests as well as principle, by the choice of Mr. Mur ray.

We republish to-day the article which appeared ia Saturday's paper on the subject of the State Printing, as several typographical errors, both in text and figures, ocurred which have been corrected. If any one will take the pains to read it, they will see that our bid was not a "swindle," but was a better bid for the State than that by Messrs.

Booth Sholes. Dir. WasDBian and bis Slanderers. It is possible that the opponents of Mr. Washburn in this district will be able to make capital against him by defaming and misrepresenting hltn, but we think their efforts of that character will only react in his favor.

The people, in the first place, know Mr. Washburn pretty well. Twice have they signalized their confidence in his integrity and ability to represent them; the second uie by a greatly increased majority. Moreover, they read and know what is going- on in the world, and the attempts to depreciate Mr. Washburn by such articles as that in the Prairie du Chien Courier, froni which an extract is given below, will fail.

The people in no part of this district are dependent upon any one-horce local newspaper for information. Many see the congressional debates in full, and none are so ignorant as to be mislead by such stupid falsehoods as the following: Upon all occasions he (Mr. Washburn) has set like a post, mum and motionless, looking owlishly wise, and never breaking his silence save to growl an affirmative or negative vote as the question proposed chanced to be of of Republican or Democratic origin. It is true that he did not occupy a great deal of time in speaking. That is not essential for a good representative.

In fact nothing destroys a man's influence more quickly in any deliberative body, than a propensity to jump up and speak on every possible occasion. But Mr. Washburn did speak when it was necessary, and made at least one set speech during last winter's session, which was published in several papers at the east as well as in this State. It was a comprehensive, clear and searching review of the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and the state of the public finances. No more lucid and statesman-like speech rmn this difficult subject was made in the jaoi.

Congress. It exposed the fallacies of the Secretary's report, and long before the event transpired, with an exactness that manifests how thoroughly be had etadied, and how clearly he had comprehended the intricate matters connected with the financial policy of the general government, the failure of the expectations of the Secretary and the necessity that arose for a subsequent loan. Mr. Washburn is not only a good speaker, but a man of broad and comprehensive in. tellect, cultivated and disciplined by study and experience.

Republican Candidates fob the Assembly. Eli O. Redd of Reedsburg, and Nel-bos Wheeler of Washington, are the Repub-lican candidates for Assemblymen.

propose to give a few facts and hgures for the candid perusal of those who feel any interest in the matter, that they may see that such language Jis very unjustly used when applied to our bid. We give below a table, applying the cost price to', the (probable amount of printing that would be required for a year also what the same work would come to under the bid of Booth and Sholes, and under our own. In this table, where the Commissioners omitted to fix a basis upon which to test bids, and which left the chance for stealing referred to by the Free Democrat, we have estimated an amount that would probably be required of those items, and applied the terms of the two bids (Booth's and oar own) to.thera. Here is the table i Atwood Basis. 4.168.000 Cost.

LlOO Enrolled acts 4 vols $8,115 00 $2,483 00 Holes in the basis supplied, and terms of bids applied. In the above table, that portion which in eludes all the printing and binding for the year, under our bid, the profits would amount to $1,092,33, on a bill of near 000 and the profits under Mr. Booth's bid for the same work, amount to $1,087 25 Iu either case the profits are small. In the cost column, we have only estimated the amount actually paid to the journeymen printers, and for paper, counting nothing for wear and tear of material, rent, superintending, which would nearly amount, in the aggregate, to the amount of profit indi cated thus t-howing that nothing would really be made on this part of the contract, uuder either bid.

We now come to the blank printing. For blanks printed upon one side, we take the basis of the Commissioners, as the amount that will probably be required and we esti mate one fourth of that amount for those that will be required printed upon both sides, We think this latter estimate more liberal than the actual requirements would justify, but as this tells against us under the bid, Mr. Booth cannot object to it. On this estimate, the work tinder Mr. Booth's bid would amount to $397.50 more than it would under notwithstanding this class includes one of the great stealing points of which the Free Democrat so flippantly speaks.

Let us now look at the item of Blank Books. We presume the basis of the Commissioners is nearly correct, as to the amount that will be required; but whether it is, or not, the result would not be effected by a lesser or greater amount. In this class, under Mr. Booth's bid, the number fixed ia the basis, would "amount to $3,145.00 or $663.00 more than under ours; or in like proportion for a smaller or larger number. Let us now look at the aggregate, of all the classes combined, applying the two bids: Cnder Under Booth's Bid.

First class, Including all Atwood Eublee's Bid. mating ana fiu.e-u 10 $10,640 08 1,437 50 2,482 00 Blanks, 1,885 :0 Blank 8,145 00 $15,665 06 We have thus shown, that $14,609 68 apply the to terms of the two bids (Mr. Booth's and our own,) to the actual printing, binding, that may be required, the work will amount, nnderMr.Booth's bid, to $1055 52 more than under showing that if our bid was fraudulent," Mr. Booth's was still worse, and that the Commissioners did right in placing him also in "the category of knaves." This is an application of actual figures, that are supposed not to lie. In our estimates, we have taken the basis of the Commissioners, where they fixed an amount, presuming it to be nearly correct.

Where they left the amount open, (being the stealing places,) we have fixed an atrount which we think will cover the requirements under those heads. In the matter of binding, we have only applied the terms of the bida to one style, and that the style now authorized by, law, and that almost universally adopted in all the States. We presume there would be no calls for either of the other styles mentioned in the basis, as there never has been up to this time, In the past. We trust that this presents the matter, in a plain light, so that all can -understand it and we think any honest man will see that Mr. Booth cries fraud, without much regard to truth.

In our -bids we did take some advantage of the holes left in the basis by the Commissioners, by putting high figures on some items; but we put corres pondingly low ones on other items. For in stance, the Commissioners said that in esti mating the bids, they 6hould only consider the prices fixed to blanks printed upon one side. We put low figures and high ones for those printed upon both sides. But the above table shows, that we were lower than Mr. Booth on the one side blanks in a greater degree than his was below ns on those printed upon both sides We claim that our bid is entirely fair on its face, and would prove to the State, if accepted, a better bid than that of Messrs, Booth Sholes; and we appeal to the fig-urea we have presented above, to prove thi9 claim good.

The Commissioners might as well fix the price at which each competitor should bid, as to rule that his bid is frauds lent, because it proposes to do some parts of the work below cost, and ethers sufficiently.
