EDITOR PLAINDEALER:-- The year of 1841 was a dull and bad one for new*, juo event happened that is worthy a place in your paper, conse­ quently this communication win be short. V The first thing that took place after the inauguration of General Ilarrison, who was elected President of the Uuited States the year previous, was the bouncing . of Christy G, Wheeler, as Post Master, and the appointment of H. X. Owen in hi* place. The peo­ ple were well satUAed with the way Dr. Wheeler had performed the duties of the office, but the cry went forth then, "T« the victors bolong the spoils,M which is perfectly right in my judgment. Mr. Owen was appointed anil gave equally as good satisfaction as the old incumbent, so everybody was well pleased. Mr. Owen then, was to McHenry as a business manT what Richard Bishop and A. H. Hanly are now, full of energy and enterprise, and liked to see every thing moving mid building up about him. McIIenry lost one of her most valuable citizens when he died. About the first of June of this year Mr. Owen Kad completed a carding factory near his mill and employed Oeorge W. Truesdell, who now lives near Solon, to run it. The mill was a good one, wool come iu as fast as It could be carded into roll*, when one day a little disagreement occurred,be- tween Mr. Owen and Trusdell, which in a short fitne resulted in a regular knock down and dragging out affair, in which several pers^s took a hand, but Trucsdtll got the/worst of it. as he was not only only knocked down, but dragged through a small door on the upper side of the mill, on to the dam and left there, pretty badly punished. The Result was several law suits; some* times one would be complainant, and then the other would trv his hand as prosecuting witness, until they had been litigating about a week, when Truesdell instituted a suit of assault and battery before John Purdy of Richmond, then a Justice of the Peace, in which If. N. "Owen and two others were made defendants. Amery Thom­ as appeared fbr Truesdell, and J. H. Johnson for defendants. The case was (tailed and Thomas introduced proof showing that al! of the defendants took a hand In the fight. Johnson made no objection to the testimony nrtil he had closed, when he moved to discharge the defendants, on the ground that it was a plain case of riot, and read the statute under that head, when the Justice, who was taken as much by surprise as Thomas, took the statute and read, with his head near the table, 44 When two or more persons assemble together and behave them­ selves in a riotous and tumultuous man­ ner, they shall be deemed guilty of riot," and repeated it throe times, raising his hand to his head each time, dually decided that in his judgment it WAS a riot, and discharged the prison­ ers, very much to tiie discomfiture ot Truesdell and his attorney. This end­ ed the fight, and the mill dam was known a jgng time as *' battle ground." This year Theophilns W. Smith, oft account of a change of the Judiciary system, succeeded the Hon. John Pear­ son as Judge of the Circuit Court, aiid as soon as he was qualified, he appoint­ ed his Clerk from Chicago. That office was filled by Chicago men in all the counties of his Circuit, very much to the disgust of the people. A man by the name of Solomon Mills was ap­ pointed for this county, but upon his appearance In McHenry, the first thing that appeared to his vision, as an eye opener, was a large indignation meet­ ing, in which both himself and Judge Smith were pretty severely handled, and as he had been sent there to pave Smith's way to Congress, he made up his mind that he could not effect the great object sought for in that way, so he agreed to resign, and advised John­ son to meet Judge Smith at Naper- vilie the Hext week, present a large petition that he had for his retention, and said that he had no doubt of his success. Charles McClnre Esq., then a practicing lawyer, and Johnson went to Naperville as requested, where Johnson was waited upon by a mutual friend and. told of Smitirs aspiration for Congress, and that if he would agree to help carry McHenry county for him, that his appointment would be made out and all would be well, to which Johnson replied, 4t tell Judge Smith to go to h--1, he would choose his„ own friends, and could not be bought in that way," and immediately left the room and returned home. Mills retained the office something over a year, when Judge R. M. Young succeeded Smith on the bench, when Johnson presented a petition for his re-instatement, sixteen feet long, which he has now In his possession, was re­ instated aud Mills returned to Chicago. There was but very little building in McHenry this year and buslueaa was generally at a stand still. Christy G. Wheeler, whose name has been mentioned in former articles, died this year. He was a man that had many warm personal friends and was highly respected. The Rev. Joel Wheeler, who was the first minister of any denomination that settled In this place, «>r in the County, had a call to preach at Galena and removed there. No more this year-. AULD LANG SINK. PWNCIi'LK T4 PAKTT, EDITOR PLAIN-DEALER Hard mon­ ey advocates--Including all those who make financiering their vocation--all join in demanding of our government laws in their favor to protect them In their nefarious business, and in order to succeed in their demands expend money freely in lobbying through Con­ gress -Any bill or measure by them re- •qnlred. How is this? Is it possible that we, the people of these United States, are compelled to acknowledge that snch a sin as bribery really takes place within the limits ot.our Nation­ al Capital ? Is It possible, I say, that such Is the case P I am fully aware that people now-a-days will think me a Ilttlo 44 green," or perhaps, a la Rip Van Winkle, have not not teedI passing events lately to ask such a question. According to the most reliable Infor­ mation, I am forced to accept an an­ swer In the affirmative to my question, and, what is worse,! am also made aware that the very briber* have strong advocates in the hoodwinked people of their party. If a Democrat be the transgressor in this respect, every Democrat voter will wink at the conuivery and call it smart, and say that the conniving rogue deserves patronage for his ability. If it be a Republican * Credit Mobilier," all Republicans swear it's "correct." and vote the fel­ low a second chance at once for his dexterity. Now is this state of affairs going to add to the prosperity of ourselves or our posterity? Had we not better stop a moment to consider the results? Who are to blame for all this£ We say the masses of the people, enlisted under the banner of the two imbecile parties of our country. The masses composing those parties are ready to follow their leaders into Hades, if nec- essary, under the influence and excite­ ment of political electioneering. Up­ on any or all other topics, outside of politics, the people seem to be ration­ al, but as soon as you touch a man upon his political corn, look out. His pat­ riotism on that score is fidelity itself. Youinustnot by any means question the veracity of his party. Everything must give way before this oue prerog­ ative of our American citizen, religion, domestic happiness, love of country, love of self or family, all, all, body and soul, must submit to the shackles of party. And why It this ? Wo have seen men go to the polls aud vote a ticket that they knew nothing about, and cared less of. only so far as satisfying and curtsying to the local leader of their party, who eiands by the ballot box to influence the vot?r in the oxercise of the great prerogative of an American citlzeis -one smile per annum, perhaps for e^ch vote. At or about the time ot election, ail voters are recognised gen= tlemen, and are declamated to, as the 44 great American people," the 44 mas­ ters," who send "servai.ts" to Con­ gress, eta, etc.. etc. Nonsense! sickish slang! How long, O Lord, will dupes live before they open their eyes to see. GREENBACK. Mew Theory About Mound Builder*. Dr. John. A. Rice, of Wisconsin, starts the theory that the prehistoric mounds found in that and other States and in the Territories were once ths habitations of the Mandans, who were the predecessors of the Sacs and Fox- er, the Illinois, the Potawatomies, Wir.nebagoes, and other Indian tribes. His explanhtion of his theory is quite ingenions, and founded on the descrip­ tion of a Mandan village near the mouth of the Yellowstone river, hi Catiin's work on the North American Indians. The Doctor, who is a mem­ ber of the Wisconsin State Senate, from Waukesha'county, makes out a veiy plausible case, and will (it is un­ derstood) proceed to elaborate it for the State Historical Socioty^-O'Aica- go Journal.

Feb 33th, 187*. week wassignaliaod in Congress by two events occurring, Tnesday and Wednesday, and both in the House of Representatives. The first wai the presentation to the Government by Mr-t. Elizabeth Thompson, of New York, or Carpenter's great painting, "Signing the Proclamation of Emanci­ pation.** The picture represents Lin­ coln aud his Cabinet (now all deceased save Blair) as they met to consider the proclamation which immortalized Ltn- colu. It has been severely criticized by many on account of a certain lack of warmth In coloring, and also because ot the ordinary appearance of the fig­ ures, clad, as they are In every day gar­ ments. It Is not a picture-like looking picture, but It !• natural In eyery de­ tail, and the event of Its presentation to the United States was very note­ worthy. Many relatives of the subjects of the picture were present and on the floor of the Houte, as were also the do- nator, the painter and many other dis­ tinguished persons. Perhaps the most notable thing connected with the occa­ sion was the fact that Alex. H. Steph­ ens made the principal presentation speech. Considering the subject of the picture and Stephen's political tenden­ cies together with the relation he held with the late Confederacy, It was iudeed remarkable. The ouly thins he said in his speech that the stauchest Republican might not have satd, was to the effect that the benefit accruing from the Emancipation of the slayos had yet to be proved. He praised the painting and eulogized Lincoln enthu­ siastically, calling hla his own true and tried friend. On Wednesday a most unmanly row occurred, a battle of words between Hewitt and Aiken. They called each othelr all the bad names they dared to in public, cowards, traitors, and the like, until some gentleman suggested that they Bettle their altercation at Biadensburg--which is the famous old duelling ground of ante-bellnm times, situated a few miles out of the city.-- It was a gala time for the gallery oc­ cupants, who are never happier than when a fight occurs on the floor. The most distinguished looking lady at present in society here, is said to be the wife of Assistant Paymaster-Gen- eral McClure. She la very tall and of couimandiug figure, and although quite your.g, her very abundant hair Is as white as a snow wreath. She says she has suffered much from neuralgia, wl^icii causcd It to turn thus early.-- At Secretary Evart's reception last week she was dressed In black latiu trimmed with point lace with diamond ornaments, and looked like a court dame of olden times. Frederick Sew­ ard, Assistant Secretary of State, was there, always conspicuous from the lit­ tle black skull-cap he wears to hide the silver plate upon bis head. It Is a for­ cible remembrance of Lincoln's tragic death, for the wound npon hla head, that the silver plate mended, was In­ flicted the same night that the Presi­ dent was killed, being a result of the same conspiracy. Gen. Sherman furnishes society with considerable amusement, by his open avowals of his differences with his wife on t|ie dancing question. Her solemn commands are upon their children against their jotuiit# In- Iks round dunces, but it is said that he not only approves of them, but tries to persuade his daughters to participate in them when their mother Is not present, promising them that he will not tell tales out of school. Mrs. Sherman is secluded n4w and lu deep mourning for the Pope, but when somebody asked the General the othor evening. If he did not propose to abstain for a time from dancing out of respect to hts mem ory, he replied with vigor: *4Not 1! What do I care for Popea? They'll make another Pope." When It Is remembered that Secre­ tary Thompson Is the author of polemic against the papal power, the coucidence that causes the' Navy and War Department buildings to be draped in mourning juKt at this time, takes the appearance of au Ill-starred joke. All the buildings used by the Navy and War Departments are flaunt­ ing black cambric because Gideon We'ils and Charles Conrad who former­ ly presided over them are dead, but all the Catholic schools and churches are draped for the Pope aud so when­ ever one sees mouruiug emblems on public buildings just now he says, "It is for the Pope." - OUY*.

Once I found him alt* ting In hla cbalr so collapsed and weary that he did not look up or apeak when I addressed him. He put out his hand, mechanically, as If to shake hand*, when I told him I had come at his biuding. It wai several minutes bo- fore he was roused enough to say that he "had had a mighty hard day." Once, toe, at a receptlou at the Wbit«| House, I joined tbe long "queue " o||,> .J people, shook hands with him, rocelvoapl^l the usual 44 Glad to see you; sir," aadp * passed on. Later lu the evening! meettng me. he declared that he ha<|, not seen me before, and explained hi# preoccupation of manner while th« people were shaking hands with liiur by saying that he was M thinking of « man down South," It afterward catn^ J out that 44 the man down South " wai Sherlffan. Once, when a visitor wed profane language in his presence, he said, 441 thought Senator C. had sent me a gen* tie man. I was mistaken. There Is the door, and I wish you good-night." At another time, a delegation from a dis­ tant State waited on him with a writ*. ten protest against certain appoint" menta. The paper contained some reflections npon tbe character of Sena* tor Baker, Lincoln's old and beloved friend. With great dignity, the Pres­ ident said, u This is my paper which you have given to me t" Assured that it was, he added, M To do with as I please?" "Certainly, Mr.President." Lincoln stooped to the flre-pl<»ce be­ hind him, laid it on thv< burning coals, turned aud said, "Good day,gentle- men.*'--From Jteminiscence«, by Noah Brook*, in Scribner for March, jQTOne of tbe curious things In nature is that the hull of an irou ves­ sel, after being in salt water for a loug time, accumulates on lis bottom sea­ weed to such an extent as greatly to retard the vessel's speed.
