That Cheboygan county is greatly defi cient in roads through different portions of the same, must be known to irost ot our eitizens. The opening up of high ways has not kept apace with the settle ment of the county, and the consequence is, that in some sections of the county the settlers are at a great inconvenience for the want of roads, and are compelled to travel roundabout ways in order to reach the village. The Supervisors of some of the towns where the settlers are put to the most inconvenience claim that all has been done that the funds raised lor highway purpose in their towns will possibly admit of. Last Saturday, at the meeting of the Board of Supervisors, it was proposed that the county should aid in the opening up ot highways, but up on investigation it was found that the power of the Board was limited, and that they could not furnish the requisite aid, they having no power to open up new roads, being confined to a limited amount on county roads already open ed. It was suggested that applica tion be made to the Legislature the com ing winter for the passage of an act en abling the county to open and build new county roads. The localities of the same being as follows: One running west on the town line between towns 37 ami 38, range 2 west, which has been re ferred to a number of times' in the Tui ni'NE, and for which there is great ne cessit)'; one running up between Black l iver and Cheboygan river, and the other to the east of Black river. ft is to be hoped that the application will be made, an1 that such an act mf y be passed. With the establishing and opening up of these three roads the ques tion of highway facilities for our rap idly growing settlements in the count)' would be virtually settled, for the con construction of roads in the dif ferent towns to intersect these county roads would be a small matter when compared with what it would cost if the several towns were compelled to build all the roads throughout their re spective towns themselves. The interests of the county demand that roads should be opened up to the different settlements as speedily as possi ble. If a lack of interest in the welfare of those who locate in the county is mani fested, and the settlers receive no en couragement they will likely become discouraged, and inste.id of their influ ence being felt for the good of the comity, their representations of the situ ation to tteir friends abroad will have a tondep.cy to discourage immigration and retard the growth and settlement of our countv. The county will lose nothing by the opening up of roads as fast as the necessities of settlers demand. The in creased valuation of property gained by having accessible highways will more than repay any expenditure in this line. The advantages ot this sec tion as a farm ing country are becoming more general ly known, ami it those who immigrate here with the intention of locating and improving farms for future homes receive the encouragement they should there is no reason whv the county should imi be settled up more rapidly than has been the cise in the past. Everything that can be done should be done to foster and encourage the spirit of immigration, and, as the Tribune has stated in previous issues, there is nothing more needed J than good roads. It is well known that settlers in a new country have many ob tMfel to contend with In clearing up and improving a farm, and to these ob stacles should not be added, when it can be avoided, the necessity of having to travel miles out of their w ay in order to reach a market; and it the several towns eMHMl keep pace with the demands of the settlements, by all means let the county aid them, fur what benefits one portion of the county inures to a greater or let! degree to the benefit of the whole county, and if this can only be done through an act of the Legislature, let it be seen too that such an act is passed for the benefit of Cheboygan county, at the romin" session of the Legislature Let IK hare countv roads. THE Kill IX. i : QUESTION. A call was issued and published In the papers last week for a meeting of the cit izens to be held this evening to consider the question of the construction of a new bridge across Cheboygan river at Third street, where now stands that disgrace to the enterprise of this community. It is to be hoped that our citizens will take enough interest in the matter to be pies ent, so that a full interchange of views on the important question may be had. That a new bridge is a necessity will not be denied. The main question on the part of our citizens is in regard to the locality it should be built and the manner of raising the means for building it. We think, however, that the majority of our citizens are in favor of constructing it where the old one now stands, holding that it is the most suitable place for it ; but. doubtless, this will come before the meeting, where all can have a chance to express their sentiments on that phase of the question. In regard to raising the means for its construction, whether or not it should devolve upon the village and town of Ben ton, or upon the whole county, to con struct it, there is more of a diversity of opinion, and the meeting will be the proper place to discuss the matter. We certainly think that something should be done to insure f he building o a bridge as soon as possible, and not al low the present concern to endanger the lives and property of our citizens and the traveling public any longer. As far as the cost of construction is concerned, this is probably as favorable a time as will ever occur. Materials necessary are lower than they have been for years, and probably as low as they ever will be again, and we think that more favorable bids for its construction could be had at the present time than at any other. Let there be a full attendance at the meeting at Todd's hall this evening. EDITORIAL OTi:s. Belknap is acquitted on technical ground. He retains his privileges as a citizens, but is still accountable to the law- courts on the criminal charge. The President's message to the Senate concerning the Hamburg massacre in South Carolina, and similar outrages in Mississippi and Louisiana, is a document deserving of public attention everywhere. Nl'hc President characterizes "inurdeis and massacres of innocent men for opin ion's sake, or on account of color," as "of too frequent occurrence." A private dispatch announces ex Speaker Blaine's return to his home at Augusta, Maine, in greatly improved health. He expects to take an active part in direcJiug the canvass in his own state, and later in the season he will probably go wet and make a few speeches in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois in favor of Hayes and Wheeler. Sex vtok Boutwell last week report ed a bill from select committee on ci il service providing that on or after date, which is left blank, existing pension agencies shall be discontinued, and all duties imposed by law or regulations on the several pensioiP.agents, shall there after be performed by the treasurer of the United States at Washington. Senator Morton, Tuesday of last week, came near being killed by a singu lar accident. He was in a committee room, sitting In a heavy chair, tilted against the wall. The chair-back sudden ly broke, letting him fall In such a way that the back ot his head struck the edge of the broken chair-back. The blow was a violent one, injuring him so much that he was unable to sit up for some time. Gov. Chamberlain will issue a war rant for the arrest ot the white-league ruffians who murdered those unarmed colored militiamen at Hamburg; and if any oi thorn reside in Georgia, he will make a requisition on the governor of that state to have them surrendered to the JSouth Carolina authorities for trial. He believes the law can be enforced and the murderers punished without aid from United States troops. At all events he will try it on. The silver bills now pending in the House are unfavorable interpreted abroad. The treasuiy department has informa tion that foreign buyers already indicate an unwillingness to make large purchases of our bonds, because the bonds only nJM payable in coin, and do not say in gold coin. The di scussion of the bill has dis closed the fact that, while all gold bonds of state and railway corporations contain the word gold, the United States bonds -imply use the word coin. But the chances of the passage of the bill are very dubious. The House committee on banking and currency last week,in addition to agreeing to recommend the passage of a bill for the repeal of the resumption day clause of the act of 1875, also agreed to report a joint resolution, providing for the ap pointment of a commission of three mem bers of the House, three of the Senate and three experts, to investigate the sil ver question, and the best means of facili tating a resumption of specie payments; the result of their inquiries to be report ed to Congress on or before Jan. 15th next. It is believed by many of the more in telligent people of Brazil that the course ot the present Emperor of that country is so democratic In its tendencies t'.at the inevitable result on the people will be the establishment of a republic at no dis tant day.

The Democratic ''Reform'Tilden-Soft-Money-and-Anti-Monopoly-Green-back nominee for Governor of Illinois has been exposed to a fire in the rear from his own household. He has two brothers who are sensable men: and they both declare that he is unlit for the office, and they shall vote against him, and vote the straight Republican ticket. They know him. The President in accordance with the provision of an act of Congress, approved March 25th, issued a proclamation declar ing the fact that the fundamental provis ions imposed by Congress on the state of Colorado to entitle that state to admission to the union being ratified and accept ed, that the admission of said state Into the uniou is now complete. By courtesy Colorado was allowed the full state rep resentation in the national Republican convention. CONDENSED NEWS. Four London boat-clubs have started to the Centennial regatta, to come oft next month. Galveston, Texas, is now shipping wheat direct to Liverpool at twenty eight cents per bushel. A nickel mine has been found in Sey mour, Conn., and the metal is said to be in paying quantities. It is claimed in Utah that that territory will turn out mineral products this, year ot the value of $ 12,000,000. A petition, signed by 500 residents of Buffalo, will ask the legislature to pro hibit rope-w alking across the JNiagara, The Xegro, Caoba, one of the most prominent of the Cuban insurgent lead ers, lias been killed in ambush near Sagua. Messrs. Morton, Sargent and Cooper are the senators on the loint commission to go to California and inquire into Chi nese immigration. Massacres are reported by the South Sea Islanders on Australian vessels sent out after native laborers. Entire crews have been murdered. It is estimated that there is about $20, 000,000 in gold coin in circulation in Cal ifornia now, against half that amount at the time of the panic. I he results of the observations of the transit of Venus will not be made publh for six months to come, and the publica tion may be still further delayed. The republicans of Portsmouth, X, IL, elected their mayor on Tuesday, by 332 majority. Ihe council is strongly re publican, the gain is nearly oOO. All but two of the nominees of the pro hibition party of Massachusetts having declined, it is stated that another conven tion mav be called to fill vacancies. Swinton Boult, founder of the Liver pool and London and Globe Insurance Companies, one of the best-known insur ance men in England, died on the 8th ult. Fresh disturbances are reported in Mo rocco. The Emperor's forces have been defeated and he had a narrow escape from capture. Much misery is entailed on his subjects. A special to the Richmond Enquirer from Rockbridge, Alum Springs, Ya., says Speaker Kerr's symptoms are un favorable and his condition is regarded as critical. The Senate passed a substitute to a House pension bill by which $2;000 is awarded to E. M. Hansell. who saved Secretary Seward's life when attacked by the assassin Payne in 18G5. New. gold mines have recently been discovered on Beaver creek, fourteen miles west of La Grande. Oregon. and be tween that point and Senator Jones' cele brated Camp Carson gravel mine. A new and important contribution to Arctic knowledge consists in the recent ly published map and description of Franz Josef Land, discovered in 1873 by the Austro-llunganan polar expedition. Among the articles that have been taken from the ruins at Castle Garden are sovereigns and napoleons, melted to masses of halt-fused metal, and 4o gold and silver watches, the latter very little injured.
