Gov. Rice has been quo* ted as declaring himself in favor of. the execution of the law. It is by no .toeans sure,however, that lie will sign a warrant for the hanging of this boy.

"While serving out their terms for burglary two of the ^convicts have been industriously counterfeiting nickels, and it is hinted that others, more ambitious, have been trying their hands at greenbacks.

The makers of greenbacks, if there are any such, have not yet been detected. WHISKY RAII) IN CHICAGO. Mr. A.C.Hesing, candidate for county treasurer at the last election and man­ ager of the Stoats Zeitunff, at Chicago,, was waited upon by a deputy United State marshal with a warrant of arrest and taken before United States Com­ missioner Philip Iloyne on charge of ©pnspiracy to defraud the revenue of -the United States in connection with the whisky ring. The commissioner Jbced£his bail at $nO,ODO, which he fur­ nished. Ex-Police Superintendent Jacob Rehin was also arrested and gave bonds in the same amount. B. H. Miller, the retiring county treasurer and Jacob flinty, former deputy col­ lector, were both likewise arrested and gave bonds in the sum of ^20,000 each. The general allegation is conspiracy to defraud the revenue laws and violation of the same. The specific allegation have not been made known. 4 :Kevenue Agent Sro wif "m'ifl" bnpnty ' Collector Spring, ?.cth:g under orders off Revenue Supervisor Mathews,seized utile distillery of the Illinois Distilling Company, formerly known as the Northwestern Distilling Company^ the largest house of the kind now running, its full capacity being 2,800 bushels a day.

There were found 2,000 barrels of liquor at the time of the c seizure, and a hasty inventory showed the worth of the distillery to be •120,000. OUR MEXICAN TROUBLES. A Washington dispatch remarks that "all the suggestions of the cession of a •lice of.Mexieo to the United States are met by a provision of the constitu­ tion of Mexico, which prohibits the 0t»ver«ment of that country from en- iertaining or considering any propos­ ition for the alienation of any part of r territory. This method of Kup- COITKT IIOUSK AND BOARD OF Sl'l'KKVJtsORii EDITOR PI.A IN DEALER:--We noticed In your Woodstock correspondence^ a Sh^rt time since, a stricture on the ac­ tion of the Board of Supervisors, in re­ lation to th£ acceptance of the bid of N. 13. Blake, for furnishing Court House -blinds, in preference t o the bid of C. F. Lemuiers. It was therein stated that the Blake bid was $2higher than the Lemmer's, and therefore, the" latter should have been accepted. Jt does not always follow that an article because it Is lower in price than auother, is in the end cheaper, but, if $re*purchase good and substantial ar­ ticles, with price only in proportion to the cost of production, whether it be wearing apparel, farm im;Jements. household furniture or building fix­ tures, we are the gainers, not only in the appearance of the better articles, bjjt in the wear of the same, Now, it is known that Mr, Lemmers is. a good workmen In wood, but the blind?, Mr. Lemmers proposed tp fur­ nish for the Court House, were to be purchased from a faiamifaetming com­ pany in Wisconsin, who make a very inferior article,*as showu by the blinds Mr. Lemmers put in T. Whitson & icon's new buil ding, and others of the same block. We have one of the best Court Houses in the State ; its work­ manship is of the first order; and to put op its windows an inferior set of blinds, which would so illy correspond with all the other work of the building as to be notiecd by any casual observer, would reflect discredit upon our Coun- ty. Porehasing Agent and "the Board of Supervisors. Said agent, Mr Elam M. Lamb, than whom a closer figurer can not be found, and who has saved this county hundreds of dollars,during the last two years, has thoroughly investi­ gated this matter, and fhnJs that the - blinds furnished by N. E. Blake «& Co., of Harvard, (£ueh as they have already put up in the Court room aud Circuit Clerk's office.) are far preferable, con­ sidering their price, to the one fur­ nished from Wisconsin and put up by C. F. Lemmers. Not only has Mr. Lamb consulted his own judgment in this matter, but tie has the opinion and advise of some of the best mechanics and builders in the State. Our Coimty ,Purchasing Agent has recently had a conversation with Mr. Blake iw regard to the matter, and the latter says he will furnish the style of blind Mr. Le aimers puis up, at lower figures than Lemmers offered; but, Mr Lamb has too much discretion to ac­ cept of the proposition, They state that the blinds they furnish for the Court House can not be afforded for one cent less than for what they sell them. Your correspondent has seen the blinds put up by Mr. Lemmers in Mr, Whitson's store, and found them to be very rough, poorly varnished, and so Ioore between the joints as to ad­ mit the entrance of a knife blade, while those Jinng in the Court Iloiise, fur­ nished by X. E. Blake & Co., are smoothly made, with close joints, and highly polished. Can any One reason­ ably suppose that the Board df Super­ visors, who have a committee on Pub­ lic Buildings, an economical, honest, and discreet Purchasing Agent, all of whom are property owners and pay county taxes, held accountable for their public acts to their constituents, would be parties to a swindle upon themselves and all the other tax payers of the County? Such a supposition would be absurd, and show its falsitv upon its face. The Board of Supervisors of this County <hay.^ often srailaily .j*t- ;«ckcd, fairly or 'maliciously, but they have gone on, exercising their own -judgment, *.vorking for the best inter­ ests of the County, and pursuing an honorable «-onrse. It cannot be reason­ ably expected that any body of men acting in a legislative capacity, can please every individual, because all are not constituted alike. We have differ: ent feelings, judgments and tastes. This fact is apparent on our Board of Supervisors as elsewhere. Were the grumblers to wait, before passing judgment on the action of the Board, until they bad investigated all sides of the various questions which come before the Supervisors, we think there would be less complaint and more discretion exhibited. I'ETKK FAIRPLAY. The McHenry County Ass.mint ton rat runt* of Husbandry. above Association lield their fifteenth regular sestfion at Growers' Hall, Crystal Lake Crossings, oft Wed­ nesday, Dec. 2!Uh, 1875.. .. Worthy Master, J. B. Colly,* in the chair. Bros. Thompson, Benson and Mcl> Richards, were appointed a com­ mittee on credentials. ^ Committee reported 9 Granges rep­ resented,by 24 delegates. Minutes of last meeting were read and approved. Bros. Wood, Mel) Richards, and Benson were appointed a special committer, to exaniiue tiie books Of the. Secretary and Treasurer. « The following Resolutions were carried vi*: ' . . llcmlvcdi By the Centi al Association Patrons of Husbandry of McIlenry (hunty. That we deem :t for the best interest, of our order to organize a Po­ mona Grange, in and for said county, and we respectfully request the Master and Secretary of this Association to take proper action and obtain a charter from-the Secretary of the State Grange, as soon as practicable, aud we also au­ thorize and request them to call a meet­ ing at the County Seat early in.-Febru­ ary-next. t9 perfect, said Pomona Graii&e, " 7»'esolMd, That .the" collection of annual dues by this Association be, and is hereby postponed to the meeting in February 1876. Jiesdlvc-d, That this Association send a delegate to the State' Farmers' Asso­ ciation, to be held at Bloom ington, llli ;ois, January 18th, 1876. Brother McD Richards, was chosen as per res­ olution. „ I-emliyed, That the Patrons' of Hus­ bandry of McIIenry County, are in favor of a greenback circulating medi­ um, interchangeable'a-t the option of holders for United State bohds, bear­ ing 34i5 per cent interest. The following officers were elected, viz: Master, J. B. Colly, of Richmond; Overseer, E. IL Benson, of Algonquin; Seelfetary. M. M. Clothier, of Hebron; Post Office, Richmond; Treasurer, Ali­ son Thompson, of Nunda*; Steward, Rufus Brown, McIIenry, Gate Keeper, J. B» Blake#dee, of Ridgefield; TRUSTEES.--J. C. Button," of Ridge­ field; Anson Thompson, of Nuuda E. H. Benson, of Algonquin. The last three gentlemen, withthe Master ;anxl Secretary, comprises the Executive Committee. - Within the past year, some impor­ tant changes have taken place in our order, in McIIenry County, and there arc still pending re-organizations and consolidations that must result in good: there axe evils to be corrected. Several Granges have so framed their By-Laws that members are suspended if absent at three successive meetings. Such rigid disipline in this particular, works an injury to the order. Inclement weather and numerous other causes, make it, if not impossible often Im­ practicable for me-nibers living at a distance to attend the meetings. There is no class nor profession who's time is more fully^occupied from early . dawn till, dark, and often* unavoidably so, until late at night than the farmer.-- The mantle of eharty in this particular would be the most appropriate atten­ tion the Grange could bestow. Granges not unfrequeiitly call their meetings on dark nights, even their regular meetings occur when there is no moon. This is all wrong, there is certainly no evening too pleasant for Grangers to meet. The social feature of the Subordinate Grange, might be improved by inviting Patrons from distant Granges, to ad­ dress or read essays. There is truth in the addage, "Distance lends enchant­ ment to t lie view:. We sliould expect as a matter of course that some good members will quit tiie Grange, ,a.s many poor ones have. The Grange is not'infallible.-- Mistakes occur yet the Grange is, and ever will be, wha* we make it, like the •'Christian Church, Good Templars and •kindred organizations. We cannot always say with the gallant Perry, ,4We have met .the enemy and they are ours." There is no organization, nor society under the snn worthy of the name they bear, if they cannot over­ come diiUculties, neither have they an object worth striving for, if some do not became despondent. From tiie records before us, we predict a pros­ perous future for the Grange of llcilen- ry County M. M. CLOTHIER, Secretary. tkcdouald'8 New Story.
