UNTY OFFICERS. Bundays Tarmuxx contained o list of | ‘}frf suppozed Reform candidates in the field for county offices. It wasrcad with much interest, and discursed by tae frisnds of the candidates with vigor. Inow send you the complete nnd corrected list, €0 far as it cun be learned. It is c.mpiled from information supnlied by well- informed county officials: Tor Sheriff, Charles H..Larkin, Jr., Jobn A, Ilnscy. Charles Holz- bauer, Bryan Kelly, and Jobn A. DeBernezn, The present iucumbent 1 John AMcDonald. one of the ablest Sheriffs Milwaukee County has ever Lad, a born deu , & notural genius for uoring out sccrets, the hero of the Soldiers’ Home adventurs, a shrowd, keen, le: eaded Irishman of the best soit. He is meligible for oilice a secend term, urider. our laws, Beyan Hall iy his Deputy—a fearlesy, sharp ofiicer, who has made a good record. s chances are decidedly good, and bo feels sanguine of success. Larkin 13 the son of & prominent old citizen who has doue coneiderable iv his day 1n the way of mer- iticg the name of politician. Ile Las cbarge of the cartage of the Chicago Division of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, and posesses mucu influence smong the smailer people, ana some smong the more influential. Carles Holzhazer is tho favonie in the race. He is present Clexk of the Municipal Court, well and favorably known to all political reformers, a0d pietty sure of the nomivation. Ileis the ouly Geriau running, and cau count on all the Germuan vote not given to Jobo A, Hinsey. The Intter is & born orator, a leader of tho people. and was ot one time very popular. Hois a leuder xmong the Reformers,” and, 1f Holzhauer weie out of the way, would walk 1nto office over the heads of everybudv. For Clerkof Court—Patrick Conmolly. Jr., and D. N. Kasson, Both are active Reformers. Mr. Connolly s~ tho preseat incumbent, Mr. Kasson was his Dopity until his _aspirations becamo known, when he was promytly disclarzed. Connolly spends his ‘monev freoly, 1s & pood-hearted Irishman, well hled by Lis conutryinen, and sure of strong suvport. Kusson has tho supportof a large number of the Bar, and is o goueral favorite. Tho cuances are that Conuolly will bave tbe nomiuation; but it is not by any mesns a sure ihing that Kasson'will not in such event run as an indepondent candidate, and squeeze in by the skin of his teeth. ¢ Tor County Tiessurer—Moj. F. Eblors, Mai, R. Rooney, and IL. H. Everts. Sr. Ehlors is the present imcumbent, & highly respectablo saloon- keoper, in whoso underground chambors the best men in the city tako their tuddy. He is o mero Oyure-head, 80 far as the Trustecship is concorned, drawing the salary and ing his- Deputy, the sup- posed caudidate Everts, todo the work. It is not quite sure that Everts will run; butif he does, the chauces are tbut ho will go in. Maj, Roouey is & largo man, - byrically and popularly. He hay a great reputation for Liudness of heart among bis countrsmeu, and will carry the Irish vote. Many would like to sec him bave the office who do not believe he can get it. If it is a quostion between him and Eller, however, you can bet vour money on Roouny. N Regiscer of Deeds—TF. C. Best, Morris Wittig, Jobn™ B. Stemper, and, in tho distance, Michael Kraus. Tho last, if cortsin to run, wo'1ld prob- ably take the ofiice. He is busmess-manager of tho Secbote, & German paper that scoops up all the printing and publishing patrouago it wants ont of the city and couuty, of which Mr. Deuster is the editor. Deuster is expected to be a candidate for Congressional honors, and in that event Kraus will have to stop at home to look after the business. Best is the present in- cumbent, and if Kiaus does not run wili walk in. He is s 1elative of the great brewers, and that is e best recommendation. Morrs Wittig is » short, fat, busy, loud, ana talkative Saporvisor from the Secoud Warl, whe is always treadng on somebody’s toes, aad has not been long and favorably enough in the pui : ¢ view to have any chaoce. Stempor 1s an insurance agent, and was ouce Reister, but not Liely to ba 80 again. For Couunty Clerk—John Saar, Christian H. Mever, and John I. Surges. Saar is the present incambent. 3leyer 18 Clerk ¢f the Board of Pubite Works, a very polite young man, possess- ing the good opinion of those who know bim, and Surges is a saloon-keeper. There is no rea- 500 to suppose Saar will be ousted. For Distric: Attoroey—C. K. Martin and Fred Raittrock. Both are stronz men. Reittrock is the present incumbent, and Martin vsed to oc- cupr the position. There is no saving who will vr]in, both being favorites and well suited forthe ace. 2 Superintendent of the Poor—Byrou Abert, Peter Schaellner, Joseph Porth, M. J. Egan. Abert is the present incumbent. Schaeffner is a barber of the Second Ward. Porth is Assess- or of the Ninth Ward, and Egan was Chairman of the Board of Sapervisois. His candidature has been denied, but I am assured he is going to run. If he does, he will have bat a poor chauce, as this will be purely s Germaa fight. For Coroner—Charles TFischer and Timothy O'Brien. Fischer is the present incnmbent, and the favorite of the Germaus. O'Brien is crier of the Circnit Coart, aud Alderman from the Third Waid, an office-hoider for the pass twenty vears. If he runs to winno one would be sur- prised to see him elected It must be understood that all theso are Re- form candidates. There are no Republicans spoken of 8o far except DcBernean, who is said to be & Republican, working in with the Reform- ers this vear for what he can get, and Coroner Fischer, who was appointed by Gov. Washburn, and is claimed a4 a Republican. The Republican caudidates will not be heard of until Iate in the campaign. CITY LOAN.

Our present sewerage cobtracts, now let or being let. to be comploted thia year, will agare- gate about ¥250.000, one-half of which will be Taised by epecial ssscrement on the properties benefited, and the otber half come out of the present sewerage fund. About 1.000 men are at work every day on this great scheme of improve- ment. BOARD OF HEALTIL The Board of Health Leld 2 meeting this morning at the City Clerk's oflica. Among the topics discussed was the Burnham canal-per- fumers case. It was reported by the Health Ofticer that he had made turther inspactions of the stink-hole, and fouud the naisance abating for want of food to feed on. The fermentation has been cansea by the swill cjacted from the distitlery at the head of tho canal, and the swill is about used up. The ebullizion is decreasing, the water slowly but surely clearing, and tho smell is more endurable. ‘An ordinance wwas spproved to give to the ‘Health Officer power to prevent the sale of dis- eased meat, fish, etc., and to destrov the samo. This will be preseated to the Common Council Monday, and doubtless paseed. The Committee will meet Monday to examino into tho stinks on Monomines River. THE MAYOR'S DRAIN-PIPE VETOES. An examination of the sewer-pipes now boing 1aid down wss this morning completed by sev- eral Aldermen. Our Common Council is either stone-pipe or cement-pipo, just a8 vigorously as the free and indeendent voters of Eatousvillo were blue and bulf electors. There has been ar endless fight going on abou: the kind of pine to be used for our mew drains, which bas during the presont week assumed a very serious nspect, —nothinglesa than charges of corruption agaimst the Commissioners, who have always been con- sidered men of atainless character. Your cor- respondent hus tried to gei an unprejudiced statement of the facts, and find the following to be about the posilion: The Commbdn Council authorized the construction of wsowers to the extent of about 11 miles, this renson. The ma~ tenal of the minor sewers was to be either bydranlic cement pipe or vitrified stone- waro pipe, of the best msuufucturs, subject to special inspection of the Board of Pablic Works, as delivered at the sewers. In this city. the contractors supplv all materials, as well 8s do tbe work of constructing sewers, swhich differs from the system in Chicago, where the citv purchases the mazerizl. A long and bitter contest of two veas'daration, in which the majority of the Comamon Council favored a monopoly of the cement pipe_manufsctured bere, has been going on, and the Mayor and tvo of the Commissioners of Public Works -as streonously opposed its nee; the matter ending in tbe adoption of the preseni messure a8 & sort of . comoromiee. Rather unexpectedly, contractors to whom contracts wera awarded for & considerable length of pipe gewers, compnsing & large majority of tle lettings, began using the vitrified stoneware pipe, unniy ot Ohio aud pertly of Illinois manu- {facture. Ald. Chase, who is an ardent advocate of the cement pipe, which is mspufactured upon laud owned by him, is an eccantric, excituble, and ob- stinate gentlemea, undoubtedly honest, but sery marked in his projudices, and singularly dicta- torial in his manner. He at once mede war up- on the * crockery pipe,” a8 ho_termed it, and in the course of his endeavor to induce the Council fo pravent its use he aseailed the Mayorin:a violent speech, and Com.aissioners ‘)Dwell aad Blodgetzlof the Board of Public Works, charging them wish bamng corrupt, and with eacouragiog the use of worthless or unfit materisl. Ho at- tucked especially the Illinois pipe, which i8 boing laid inthe ward which he reprosents and on the street fronting his promises, and, without much discussion or consideration, the Common Council at o late honr adopted & re}aclulmn wstructing the Board of Public Works to stop its use before 10 o'clock the fol- lowing morning. The resolutivna of the Couu- cilrequire the Mayor's approval, to be vald, which that officor will withhold and return his veto. a8 ho frequently has done heretofore upon similar. ensctments.” He vetoed, last week, a8 vesolution of which Ald. Chaso was the su- thor, and which. attempied to restrict the vitri- fled pipe according to the technical definition of vitrification in Webster's Dict/ouary. The Mayor is & wealthy citizen, well known throughout the Northwost as & man of unim- peaciable integrity and sturdy bluotness and candor. Commissioner Frank S. Dlodzott. of tbe Board of Public Works, is an experienced civil engineer, formerly manager of the horse- railway. Commissioner Winslow A. Nowell is a young bukiness-man, who was appointed to the oftice in 1873, and managesthe nKice-wm’k of the Board mostly. The Mayor and Board insist that all the materisl allowed” to go into the sowers, after the most rigid inspection, is of the best quality, ®nd that the particular pipe which is sought to be rejected is ad good, if not better, than any other presented. In this opinion the Aldermen senerally are to-day sail to coincide. after a personal examination, completed this morning. ‘The Commissioners inest that if they are not deemed honest and compotent the Common Councilsh.uldimpeach them, but protest against raudom speeches, attacking therr integrity where they kave no opportunity or desiro to_ reply. Thay continue to use tho Ilkinois pipe, which it a eleeva pipe, as well as the socket pipo, and ad- mit all mskes to competition, it of acceptable gunhty. clalming that thoy are thersby keoping lown the prica of the sewers, which,if a mo- nopoly of pny one make was_established, would cost tho_ taxpayers a large ndditional sum, which they estimate at 850,000 on this year's work zlone. They have demanded that awy and all accusations of the pature made by Ald. Chase against them aod the Mayor be reduced to writine, and made tho subject of official wvertigaiion. It is probable, however, that the Alderman's etatements, which' are regarded gen- erally as vagaries of specch peculiar to himself, will be dropped. and that Mouday night there will bo a little more fizzing, and the storm will be langhed over. @ SOCIAL AND PERSONAD. There was a ball ot the Sbherman House, & new hotel on the lnke-side, last night. Itwasa fashionable affair, Mrs. Mitchell, wife Alox. Mitchell, has returned, and will give 8 girden party shortly. = Tho lawus are being put into shape. Tho grounds are probably , the most beantiful 1o the Northwest. Oao pawvilion alone is Baid to have had £10.000 Isvished on its deco- rations. Mrs. Mitchell's arrival has crested quite s fiuiter in fushionablo circles, and has cavsed a revival of carriaze-visting. Mra. Tytus, tho ne: '/-married bride of Fd- ward J. Tytus, wholesale paper merchant, enjoys the reputation of driviog the nobbiest phacton turrout in Milwaukee. It isa present from the bride’s father, and came from Connecticut ‘Tho Rov. Edward R.

THE BOARD OF REVIEW. 1f anvbody shiould e called upon to pay more taxes than le thinks fair, tbis yesr, it will be bis own fault. The Board of Review completed its sittings this morning, having been in_constant seagion several weeks, attended by City-Clerk Mahoney, who has been the time-honored Clerk of the Board away back into the misty ages. Duriug tho sittinips the Board bas passed upon sevoral thousands of cases, and it is noted as s satisfactory circumstancs that there has been less growling aod more general content than any year within the memory of the oldest member. ‘In spite of the panic, the personal praperty assessinonts foot up betveen £50,000,~ 000 and $51,000,000, 38 cowmpared with §43,000,- 000 in 1873. Every braoch of trade seems to be increasing, the population is botween 15,000 and 17,000 more than last year, and there is plenty of work for all. The Board gave out_ths books to all tho Assessors this morning, and the proper onths have been taken, and now the public will be bled in its pocket, To show the stringency with which the Assessors arorequired to do their work, I send you a copy of tho oath, which might be hived up to in Chicago with advantage, as it certainly is lived p to here Slate of Wisconsin, Coxaty of Miliautes T ssesaor for the Ward of the City of Milwauket, in said county, da solemnly swear that the annexed use:esmant roll contains, as I verily belleve, o completo and perfect entry and List of all real proper- ty liie to saseusnient for the present year in said ward.

The celebrated stained chancel wiadows of St. James Episcopal Church have been completed, 2ud mve gieat satisfsclion, being provounced the most complete aud beautitul of the kind perhaps 1 the United States. Tho following is a descrivtion of them: The designs for the chancel windows represent threo scenes in which Saint James, with Hainis Peter and John, is specially:chosen to be with his Loid. Theso nre the raising of Jairus' daugater, the TransfAzaration, aud tho Garden of Gethsemane, Inall tbres windows the fig- are of the Savior is tho most prominent in the prouping of thie three apostlos. Each window i complote in itsels, and at the esmo_time tho theee form ono complete whole, giving our Blessed Lord in His suitzring and glory ; 10 His death and resurrection ; and tbe Apostle in his houorable position n3 one of the cb~son three. The idea of the cross and the towers of Jera- salem, showing shadowy and d:m throuzh the “ bright cloud,” 18 taker from the 31st and 32d verses of the 9th chapter of Bt. Luke's Gospel, whera Moscs and Elias speak with our Lord * concerning His doceaso which he should “ac- complish at Jernselem.” This i ezpressed by showing tho cross, vision-like, bebind and throughi the glory streaming from the overshiaa- owing cloud. The agonv in the garden is, of course, & night sceve, with toc Paschal full- moon lighticg up the gloom, the kneeling Savior bemg promiuest w the foreground, with the sleeping disciples in the distance. The raisiug of Jairus' daughter is a scene within the house, the Savior standing at the hesd of the couch ana the disciples at the foot.

This lot is only a stone’s throw distant from tho presont staiion. It is eaid an sttempt will be made to pay partly with the existing buildiugs and lot, but it is known that the Mayor will veto such proposal. holding it essential that the city shall part with none of ity property. The eoxisting property ix quite large enough, but the authorities lessed part of it for three veara to the county for noth- in3, to build a jail, aud now the city cannot use itsown.

An examination of advanced shea:s shows that the town now numbers some 5,290 persons, of whom 2,754 are females and 2,636 sre males. There are 1,066 families and 161 widowe. ‘The colored peopls number 11. The number of foreign-born persons is not yet made ont, but is not very large, this bemg o rural community. ‘Waukegan is the home of Judge Blodgett, of the United States District Court, andalsoof Judge McAllister, of the Ilinois Supreme Court. Tho Iatter is enjoying the best of health, aod is at present busily engaged in writing out his - allot- ment of opmions ausigned to hir by his associ- ates. There is some ecxcitement with regard to on the Iake-front. When the town was t waa intended to run tne principal State street—along the biuff m such a ‘maaper tust there should be no building be- tween it and the lake. These iutentions have been adlered to until lately, and the town is now oxeited with the quostion whether they whall continue to do 80. A laburing man of the place Iataly bought one of tue lots under the biuff, ou the South Side, for the sum of $20, .aod prepered to place ius house thereon. Op- position Was srcused at once, and many ab- tempts were made to buy him off. The man, however, seemed to think he nad got 2 pretty sood thing, and refuscd il _offors, declaring Le would not sell for $2,000. Up to date he Las persisted in his refusal, and will carry out his intentions withoat douvt. His course Las caused many others to set nbout imitating bim, snd there is now & perfect manin for resideaces on tho lake side of Stste street. Speculation in Iak:c shore proverty is of course, rife. Possibly, lLowever, it may bé puta 8top to, and the Leauti- ful Llui saved. There are arrivals of lumber almost daily, and the lumber merchsnts are laying ip all the etock they can get by hook or crook. One priccipal cause of this is the great Gemand for fencing in the intevior. Anpother promising industry is the extensive seale works of Mr. George Kirk, Tire woiks were established, some years ago, by the dceers, Forsythe & Sons. For some reason they wero not successful, and upon the death of Mr. Forsythe, Sr., the works were bought by Mr. Kitk, who baa taken hold and reorganized "them and now has every prospect of succesa. The pame of C. C. Parks will be familiar as that of @ gentlemau formerly a well-known broker of Chicago. From Chicago, Mr, Parka weat to New York City, but Las lately returned to the West, and boughit & Jarge farm within the limits of this town. Instead of buyiog and salling stocks, he now devotes himielf to the raining of stock. Not long ago he had & sale of blooded stock upon his place, smouating to enaged in purchasing aud replacing his supply of animals, Mr. Robert Douglas, an Eoglishman, hasa very extensive nursery in Waukegan. Probably there is no other. so large, within the entire region, Bhade-trees are his specialty, and those consist largely of evorgreens. They have atood the drought excellently well, and are in fine con- dition. Everybody who comes to Waukegan goea to sea Mr. Douglas’ nursery. Waukegan has not yet been known as a beau- tiful spot for a summer-resors, but it ought to be. There are numbers of persons boarding for the Zeason in private families, and the hotels are well filled. Of these thero aro three, all very popular, and are largely patronized by peraons coming here to enjoy the fishing on the Jakes in the rear of the town, These lakes are charming bodies of water, as fine in every respect as those of Wisconsin and Mionesota. The first of them lies about eight miles out from the lake, and giam it thers is a chain of them clear to Fox ver. _Mr. Washington Hesing, of Chicago, mades visit to Waukegan, = short time ago, in order to go a-fishing. Of ‘course he wanted company, and with that end in view invited several Waa- kegan gentlomen to joia his party, who had to decline on_account of business engagements : but Mr. Hesing was very kindly received and well treated. As » tail to this incident, it is now reported that Alr. C, B. Farwell sends word that heis coming here shortly for & similar fishing excur- sion, #ud his invitations are slready given ont. They include the aforessid Administration edit- or, tho Postmaster, Mr. C. C. Parks, and others. ‘\"nukegfu is now existing under a no-license regimo. Early in the sprng tho City Council voted not to renow licenses, and aa the old ones oxpired July 1, the place has now been for & month withont stimulants,—or rather without suloons. There i8 not an open institution of the kind in the town. Probably, however, those who want liquor very badly, know where and how to get it. The course of the Coancil created much opposition, many citizens thii- i0g it injurious to the town. A large petition to the Council was gotten up, asking that body to 1eacind its action, but it refused even to enter- ain the paper, and now it is an additional charge seainst the city fathers that they have violated tho night of pedition. There is much discussion in town on the subject. ———— RACINE. Racr¥e, Wis, Aug. 1.—The train which brought us Tog TnizvNe last Sundsy morning was hailed with delight by the news loving peo- ple of Racine. Many epent their Sabbath better than they had for months. and more to their profit, in reading Toe SuNpay TnisuNg. It has been a dull day, indeed, beretofore, with no newspapers, and particularly to the mechanic, who can spare no other time to inform himeels, and this new enterprise is of great value to hia, sad €0 to the business-man. THE SIXTEEX PAGES OF SOUND INFORMATION ho reads tbrough on Bunday gives him a relish for businees Monday morning. I condense batch of items from Racino for you to savdwich in with your more important matter, as of local interest here.

Both are prominent musical societies of Raciue, and tho {rips are similar in charscter,—only the former club bave ladies in the party, who will attend to the callinary matters. They are hav- ing a glorious time. "The three-masted schooner J. J. Case, coal- Iaden, came into our harbor Friday night. She is the flagship of the Racine fleet, and, with Larry Eason as Captain, she has, Lke Goldsmith Maid, taken tho wind out of all the fast stock on the lakes. Her cargo consists of 1,000 tons of coal. The Case csa carry 160U tons, and, although she caufget into Racine with it, she feared other ports, in case she should be obliged to scek anocher harbor in a gale ; ste therefore did not bring a full cargo, bat it starts a small coal-yard.

I goes y Milwaukeo. I makoa mooch money on dose bugs,” aud be drove off to Milwauice, cursing the stupidity of tho commercial men of Raciue. TAE CROP OF HONSES in this county wili be good this fall, judging by the amouat in trainiug at Col. Utley's North Side Park. Theze are tive driving-parks in and around the city, and if others are exercisiog horses in proportion to this one, tlo horee busi ness 1 this connty is shead of that of any other part of the State of Wisconsin. A CASE OF DESERTION or sudden disappearsce cccarred op Fridsy night. A msa who has been living pon his good looks ard his wife's labor for years, last week persuadod her to deed awsy samo property he wanted to Rell,—it was their all. This Drop- erty slie had worked long to save,—eupplying all else by her industry and tact in business,—Lis agency matters not amountinz to enough to pay for his own extias. He lofi on Fnaay mght with the proceeds of his salo of what rigatly be- longed to her, and she mourns the loss. oot of the man, but of the roof she signed away from over head. THE CHURCHES have all given their pastorss fow weol's vaca- tion, and things are dull m tho way of religion; and perbaps it may be of more profit to some of our peopic o read THE SUNDAT TRIRDNE than to slecp 1 church, 54 t00 many of them do this hot weather.

A BBAVE LADY. Last Fridsy might Mrs. L. 8. Blake, wife of one of our promicent masufscturers, beard wome one trying to unlock tho front door of the house. Sio arose and procceded to the upper chamber-window, nnd gazing out saw two men trying to unlock the door. Iustead of scieam- ing, sho calmly iovited her unbidden gucsts to enter, winch, instead of doing, they incoutinent- Iy fled. It may bedaing justice to Mr. Blake's 1eputation for courage to say that Le was not at home at tho time. PRRSONAL.

Poo- ple losé confideuce in evervihing. and sare auxioue to get away 88 800n aa possibie from the scencs of the annoysuce. They are willing to sacrifico the property thoy have sccumalated 1f they can only get in some placo where the mur- derous rite and deadly tomabaws are notin daaly nse. The latest Todian distarbance wo have heard of near hee occuired day before yesterdsy, near Medicine Bow, when & band of red-skios awoop- ed down a hord of seventy horses, and carried off everv one of them. This berd Lelonged to Mr. McCowl, who was on his way from Oregon to the East, who Lo snpposed he would able to ndg guod market. Mr. McCowl made his es- capdwith the two horscs he was driving, and his wazon. A hired man also escaped, who was riding one of his borses. The savages appeared snddenly fzom behind a pile of rocks, and came down upou the littte party of white men, yolling aud_screaming in the most frightfal manner,when the horses were seized with & panic, and were eamly driven away over the hills ; and that is the last that has been seen of them by white men. o It was the moat succeustnl stealiog expedition the red-skins have underiaien this year, and of course hag pat all of our stuck-raisers on their guard, as they do mot know how soon the In- dians will be endeavoring to drive ofl the herds owned by them. i Some of our citizens think this is the same band of Indiaos that have committed so many cepredations in Wyoming Territory within the Jast three weeks, but _tha is improbablo; there muss be several bands workiog in concert,.the blows struck by them buvo been so frequent within a short time. This herd of horses i3 gaid to have been one of the finest aver bronght into this Territory, sud the loss of it causes Mr. McCowl,who ie an old man, the greatest eorrow.

A New Yorl View of the Operation. New Yorg, Aug. 1.—Franklin Edswn, Presi- dent of the Produce Exchange, sava that the Chicago corner in corn had not influeuced the market io this city. where corn was sold yeszer- day 2279 and 78 cents per bushel, althouzn ita froight from Chicago cousts 13 cents. He sava that uo combination could ever hold a monopoly of the grain in this country for any length of time, for tne reason that the countryis too large, aod the capital required too vast. The trade in this iy, Mr. Edson believed, could bs affected by the Chicago corner ounly in the event of a 10- action in the price forcing large guantities of corn on tho markets, and Xbotohy causig a de- pression. Tf heavy losses resulted, they conld affect parties onlyin Chicago. Members of tho firm of Jeseo Hoyt & Co. said that they simply acted ns commission merchants for the Chicago comination, which was a_small one, but was very powerful, and was condined etirely to Chi- cago.

Last week Posenanski received intormation that things were not altogether right in Califor- nia, and be sent a member of the irm to inves- tigate its agent's alfaira.
