Sheboygan All Right. By a dispatch received last sight we are informed that the city voted vnani moutly for the Railroad Proposition at the election held on the sth. Let Manitowoc and do from most parts of the county are favorable for the carrying of the Railroad Proposition. The farmers in those sections are sensible. -7 TT breaking up of the ice has carried away several bridges in our county this spring.

We have not been Informed as to the exact locality and extent of damages. Appletonians are in for the construction of our railroads iyith a vengeance. Ryan, of the Crescent says: it be the pride of every citizen to favor by voice, vote and influence the placing of Appleton on the great main line from Manitowoc to the North Pacific every man, woman and child contribute their best efforts on Tuesday next tending to carry the vote on the Railroad Propositions. Devote the entire day to this purpose, and let no voter remain at home or miss his vote. you want to see Manitowoc a city containing 25,000 inhabitants ia three years from now, vote for the Railroad Propositions next Tuesday.

That will be the result in the city, and the county will be worth five times as much as at present. want the farmers to read the extra issued this week in our paper over the signature of John Schuctte. He thinks he will be obliged to pay at least five cents a bushel more for wheat greater gain to the farmers than the annual tax on an acre of land. schooners J. Stronaqfr, John Weber and the one building at Ship Yard Point will soon be launched.

The steamer Corona will leave our river soon to take her place on the Chicago and St. Joseph route. are sorry to learn that the bridges in Sheboygan have all been carried away, and considerable damage done to other property, by the breaking up of the ice. are many new advertisements in issue, which we recommend to the notice ol our readers. One in relation to the sewerage of our streets stands foremost in importance.

Base Ball. are requested to call upon the members of the Nonpareil Base Ball Club to meet at the school house on this evening for the purpose of organizing for the season. By order of President. another column will be found a communication signed which we recommend to the careful perusal of our citizens. That a high school would be an advantage, few would and we hope ere long to see one in successful operation.

Railroad Fever is still raging in our community. The only cure we can imagine will be the building of the Roads. Of course you can sec the point: Vote for the Railroad Proposition. Sociable of the Presbyterian Society last Tuesday, at Mrs. E.

K. residence, was very pleasant indeed. The one to be held at the residence of Mrs. Thombs, on next Tuesday, will, as we fully believe, be equally successful. A full attendance is anticipated and requested.

Barn We are credably informed that the barn of Mr. Wm. Leard, near Mishicott, was burned on the Istinst. We have no particulars as regards loss, insurance, etc. P.

the above was in type we have received a letter from Mr. C. S. Canright, stating that the barn was fully insured by him in the Madison Mutual. the polls in the Ist we saw a man who had in his pos' session three tickets, Ilepublican, one Democratic and one sadly and who did not know which one he wanted to deposit in the ballot box.

He finally mixed them up, shut his eyes, drew one out and deposited it Fire. A lire was discovered in saloon building about eleven on Friday night last, and but for the prompt appearance of the fire department at the scene a disastrous conflagration would have ensued. Fortunately there was no wind, and although Mr. was in imminent danger, the flames were confined to the house where they originated. Considerable damage and consequent less falls upon Mr.

ilcox through breakage. The Ist of April was celebrated in our city on the Sunday following: One of our fashionable churches was filled to suffocation in the evening, by the gentle sex especially, to witness the uniting in the holy bonds of matrimony of two young couple, said to be coming off on that evening. To the great dismay of the curious, the event did not take place at all. We hope however that the wholesome instruction there received may be of lasting benefit to all on that Tho undersigned would herewith tender his heartfelt thanks for the very flattering vote in his favor for ustice. Sincerely hoping that there will be no occasion for his services in that capacity, he herewith promises that all ors will ever be for the constant and increasing welfare of his fellow citizens to the best of his knowledge and ability.

Paul to New Orleans, to the number of over live hundred, have sent voluntary testimonials to the National Watch they consider and recommend the Elgin Watches to be all that the Company advertise them, as better finished, more correct and durable than any in market of similar prices. This is a deservedly high compliment to the character of the Elgin watches, and ought to be conclusive with watch buyers as to the watch they want should think that the narrow escape from a great conflagration which we had on Friday last would establish the tact that we need a steam fire engine. The Badger engine stood at its house some time after the alarm was given, for the reason that there were not men enough at hand to draw it. Should that fire ever have got under full headway the result would have been most disastrous a building left standing on the block. Now that we have a Council of City Fathers, let us have a steam fire engine.

We have been waiting for fifteen years for tiie building of a railroad which should put us in connection and communication with the balance of our State, and in fact with every State in the Union, through that greet network of Railroads which covers the whole face of our country; and we have been waiting in vain The repeated efforts and promises of those who have had control of our railroad interest have failed have resulted in nothing. Things have now changed, our railroad interest have passed into other hands, and notwithstanding the bitter and persistent opposition which we have encountered from other sections of the State, we are to-day in a position where a hearty and united co-operation ou our part will ensure us the speedy not only of one, but of two lines of railroad traversing the entire length of our county from North to South, and its entire breadth from East to West.

The Milwaukee, Manitowoc Green Bay Railroad Company have entered into contract with responsible and reliable capitalists and contractors from the city of New York for the construction of a rail road from the city of Milwaukee through Manitowoc and Depere to Green Bay, said road to be completed within three years from date of contract. The Apt icton New London Railroad Cora par have also contracted with the same- Arties for the construction of a railroad from the city of Manitowoc to the efty of Appleton, said road to be completed within one year from date of contract. Both of these contracts are binding and in force only on condition that the several counties through which the said rtilroads are located shall subscribe to the capital stock o.f said companies the amounts which has been promised and agreed upon, failing in contracts to be null and void. The amount of subscription assigned to the county of Manitowic is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars We are assured by the counties of Ozaukee, Sheboygan, Brown and Outagamie that they will vote the amount of their assessment without fail. This being the case the responsibility entirely upon Manitowoc county, and you gentleman, voters of Manitowoc county, are to decide at the polls whether those contracts shall be made good and the said railroads built.or whether said contracts shall be void and no railroads shall be built in our county during the next twenty years.

In view of these facts and of this situation it is incumbent upon us as men of sense and judgment to consider well First What are the benefits to be derived by the county at large ind to ourselves as individuals, by the construction of these roads Second What will be the costs per annum of this subscription of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the capital stock of said railroads to the county at large and to the several towns in the county Third Will our subscription to said railroads be made on such conditions and under such safeguards that we shall not part with our securities or contribute towards construction until said railroads have been built? Fourth Will the benefits accruing to the county from the construction of these roads be a fair equivalent for the required expenditure, or in other words, will they be worth to us what they will cost us? As to thejiist imposition, the Manitowoc Green Bay Rail-oad puts us in immediate connection on the south with Milwaukee, Chicago, the East, the South and the South-west. Also on the North by way of Green Bay and the Lake Superior extension of the Northwestern Railroad (which will be completed from Green Bay to Lake Superior the coming with the great lumber region of Suamico, Peshtigo, Oconto and Menominee as veil as with the vast copper and ln interest on Lake Superior. ihe Appleton New London Kailroad, which will be at once extended to New London on the Wolf river 25 miles west of Appleton, will put us in direct connection with the great lumber region of the Wolf river and its tributaries. On the Wolf river and its tributaries two hundred and fifty millions of logs are cut annually, and on the Bay shore and tributary streams about the same quantity. These railroads then will open to the fanners of Manitowoc county the markets a by the lumber camps of the Wolf River and of the Bay which combined cut a mis ally five hundred million of logs, as well as with the markets afforded'by the great mining regions of Lake Superior.

The amonnt of farm products required to supply these lumber regions and the Lake Superior mining country is iiumeuse. Farm products do and always have commanded a much higher price in those sections of county than in any other portion of the State, and in short these railroad connections will open to our farmers the best market in the United States for every pound of pork, beef, butter, flour, feed, oats, hay and vegetables of all kinds which they have for sale. This view of the matter however presents but one of the marry advantages which wmrtd insure to the benefit of our county from the construction of these roads; and they are so many and so diversified that it will be impossible to enumerate them in any one communication. Next in importance follows the increase in valuation of property and the rise in lands, and as an illustration of what railroads will do in that direction let ns cite the example of Milwaukee county. Before the construction of her railroads the city of Milwaukee was no larger than Manitowoc is to and lands in Mil waukec county were worth on the average about ten dollars poracre, Milwaukee for railroads (just what wc arc asked to do to-day) and the result is tike city of Milwaukee now contains one hundred thousand inhabitants, and farming lands in Milwaukee county are now from one hundred to throe hundred dollars per acre.

What has brought about this marked change in the count of Milwaukee? Railroads, and nothing but rr What railroads have acne for Milwaukee county, they will accomplish for Manitowoc county, and even more. Our geographical position is more soil is richer and more productive, and we have to-day a larger river and better harbor than has Milwaukee. to the second Proposition will it cost? If we decide by our yotes to subscribe the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the capital stock of said railroads the bonds of the county will be issued, payable in twenty years from their date, and bearing interest at the rate of seven per cent, per annum. The county then will have to pay the interest each year (seventeen thousand and five hundred dollars) ($17,500) no more and no less. The total valuation of Manitowoc county as equalized by the county board of 18G9, was fourteen hundred thousand dollars The assessed valuation was about five millions.

The following table will show the equalized valuation of each town, the total number of acres of land in each town (exclusive of, and after deducting State lands) the total number of forty acres tracts of land (exclusive of State lands) in each the annual tax on each forty acres, and on each acre of land, required to pay the yearly interest on the proposed ilroad subscription.

The above figures are made on the supposition that the whole tax would be levied upon land, which would not be the There is in the county a large amount of personal property which pays taxes. Deduct from the above the gross amount of personal property tax, and the balance which would be laid upon land would not exceed, on the average, $1,25 on each forty acre tract. Again, the property created in this county by these railroads (about 45 miles within limits of the county) consisting of their tracks, freight and passenger depots, engine houses, machine shops, car shops, wilt cost at least one and one-half million of dollars.

Adding that amount to the taxaK property of the county, on which the railroad companies will have to pay taxes, deduct from the last estimate the amount of tax which tiie railroad companies will have to pay, and the balance which will fall upon land will be less than one dollar on each forty aero tract annually. Again, the county of Manitowoc, on subscribing for of (he capital stock of these railroad companies, docs not make them a donation of that amount, but subscribes just as a private individual would subscribe for the stock of any railroad company, receiving in exchange for her bonds of $250,000 the same amount of fall paid stock of said companies and will be the absolute owner of that amount of interest in the said roads. This stock the county can sell at its value in the New York market and apply the realized toward the liquidation of the debt, or hold it and apply their proportion of the annual earnings of the roads toward the payment of the annual interest. What will this stock bring in the market? The stock of the Chicago Milwaukee road with which we connect at Milwaukee, is worth over one hundred cents on the dollar, and that of the Chicago Northwestern road, with which we connect at Green Bay, is worth over eighty cents on the dollar. Wo can not see why the stock of these contemplated roads will not be worth as much in the markets as that of either of the aforenamed roads.

At all events, their stock cannot sell for less than 50 cents on the dollar. If the county should sell even as low as 50 cents on the dollar she can at once wipe out half ot her bonds, thereby reducing the annual interest which would fall cn the several towns to one-half the amounts stated in the above estimates; or if she should hold the stock her proportion of the net annual earn- Tngs of the roads would pay at least onehaif, if net ail, of the annual interest, leaving the burthen very light upon the county. The city of Milwaukee pays over three-quarters of the taxes of Milwaukee county. At the expiration of the twenty years which the bonds have to run, the city of Manitowoc will have to pay at least three quarters of the taxes of the county. Consequently she will have to pay at least three-quarters of the very bonds which are ow proposed to be issued.

As to the third Proposition con ditions and restrictions under which our subscription is to be made and our bonds issued arc clearly set forth in the propo silions appended to the election notices which are printed in all of the papers published in the county, and under thc-e conditions and restrictions, and these only, the vote is to he taken. By these propositions it is provided that the Board of Supervisors shall not part with the county bonds until the roads are built and they have received an equivalent in full paid stock therefor. As to the fourth Proposition benefits which will result to the county from the building of these roads are of such magnitude, and the cost to the county is of such insignificance in comparison, that it must be dear and conclusive to any sensible man that we cannot afford to hesitate for one moment. Propositions are submitted for subscription to the stock of two railroad companies. The two must stand or fall together, and unless both are earned at the ensuing election neither road will ho built.

The contract ora will not build one ro id unless they can at the same time build the other, and will build neither unless the county subscribes to the stock of both, and (ho conditions of their contracts arc to that effect. Citizens of Manitowoc county I on Tuesday, the 12th day of April, you ate to decide whether those two linos of railroad shall bo built th our county, or whether this county shall be shut out from railroad commuuicaliou with the rest of the world for twenty years longer. Upon you rests the rosponsil and in to your hands we commit the interests of yourselves and of your county. Now is the golden opertunity, and now or never! Even now the city of Milwaukee is making a desperate effort to push forward the so-called Milwaukee Northern railroad rival project which has been organized for the purpose of cutting ofi and defeating our Lake Shore road. This iroad 'they propose to ma through the interior of the counties of Oztukeoi Sheboygan and Calumet to Appleton, with out touching any portion of the comity of Manitowoc.

Unless wo move at once, this road will be built and the Lake Shore road will bo killed for all time. Delay will bc equally dangerous to our Westernroad. Unless that road is built the present season the combined strength of our opponents west and south, will accomplish the repeal of onr charter at the next session of the Legislature, and wo shall be powerless to prevent it. We have not a moment to lose. Turn out then, eyery man, vote yourselves and see that every elector in your town costs his vote for the railroad subscription.

Let no man hesitate Let no man falter! The success of these railroad projects will result in put ting ten dollars into one pocket for every dollar which is drawn from the other. (Signed) THE R. R. COMMITTEE. April CHAPTER AN ACT relating to sewerage iu the city of Manltowoc.
