WISCONSIN ESQUIRER.-Doty's paper at Madl-
son, the Wisconsin Enquirer has again changed
hands-Mr d. Lambert has assumed the editorial
charge of the paper. We put the enquiry last week
whether man could consistently be a supporter of
Doty, and not supported of John Tyler! Hear
what the new editor of the Enquirer says in his
opening address, - The Enquirer will continue to
support the policy of the present National and Ter
ritorial administrations. Here then is de-
monsration of Doty's peculiar affection for Tyler
Although Harrison Reed, the former editor of the
Enquirer was an obsequious political worshIper of
Doty, yet Doty regarded him as not exactly suited
TO his purpose, therefore he obtained Mr.. Lambert,
to take charge of the paper. Tins it will be seen
that Doty and Tyler are one and the same in prin-
ciple and that, that portion of the Whigparty who
profess to be the political friends of Doty, exhibit
an inconsistency in finding fault wi,h the admins
tration of jobs Tyler.

TUESDAY, JAN. n.-John Walker v. Hamilton
II Jackson This was action relative TO the ce
LIBERATED Log Cabin in Broadway, adjoining corner
of Prince, so much frequented previous to the Pre-
sidential election. 1t appears that Mr.. Walker
paid some 1880 or $l600lfor erecting the cabin, "
but in August, 1910, finding it improbable, decided
to take it down. This was opposed by defendant.
~ho agreed if he would keep il up, and " not strike
the lag till after the November ion he would
give him $1,000. The plaintiff did so, but Mr..
Jackson refused to fulfil his part of the contract,
and action is brought. For the defence it was
teudsd that the contract illegal, the statute
provides that candidate for Office shall treat
entertain persons during the election, sc. The
Court held that the statute did not apply to this
case, as the Log Cabin was Intended tor place at
which to hold pubic meetings, but not to give re
freshments gratis. The defendant is clearly liable
under his contract, and the jury could find. The
question of law would probably come before full
court, and if found to be incorrect, could be re-
versed The jury retired, and after short absence
returned with a verdict in favor of the plaintiff.
For plaintiff, l.. Benton and H. Romano, Esqrs.
For defendant, N. b. Blunt, Esq.

Prominent Sketches of The Trial Of Reu Mr.. Tar,
Zandt- Religious and Moral State Of Rochester.
Mr.. EDITOR
After prstracted trial of four days, the Rev.
Mr. Van Zandt has been found guilty of seduction
and mulcted in damages TO the amount Of So, 125.
Nine tenths of the population of Rochester concur
in this opinion and, however much they may pity
his family, and sympathise with their distressed
feelings, few, very few indeed, have much to ex-
pend on him.
During the whole trial, he remained in Court,
and except when Judge Sampson was bringing
home to the minds of the jury the conviction Of
his guilt, he evinccd no emotion. The old gentle
man was replying to the elaborate argument Of
Mark Sibley, that the whole was conspiracy 20
extort money from the defendant, and he scattered
all the sophistry Of his opponent to the winds of
heaven. "a conspiracy" SAID ae "to extort mo-
ney." Gentlemen, can ysh believe il, Examine
your own hearts, and see il the tale is possible,
probable, or human nature. Here is young girl

" lille many suppose that crime is on the inc rease
IN ratio greater than our increase of population,
it is gratifying 10 find that the data furnished fully
sastains the contrary.
1t will be seen that the number Of recegnizances
to answer increased from 1854 in 1880 to 1890 IN
1886, and that they decreased from $3.50 in 1896 to
2,l79 in 1871.
The number Of complaints not acted on by the
Grand Jury in 1880 was 1855; they increased to
S,4l2 m 1870; since when such cases have decrea-
sed to $50 in lS4l.
Our population in 1880 was 2O2, $50. Convictions
then were one for every 32l-whilst our popula-
ton in 1910 3l2, 49, the convictions were one
for every 345
1t is to be observed (says Mr.. Whiting in his
report that the great increase of convictions in

FATE OF DUELIsr-Most of our readers will
remember that in April last Mr.. Allston, OF Tai.
lahassee, challenged General Reed, of Florida
They fought, and the Gen. shot him. Willis ALI
ston, a brother of the deceased, and the GeHeral
had reAcontrc subsequently,, and a second one,
when the former shot the latter. He since went to
Texas.
Private letters received at New Orleans on the
LIST, state that Allston has had farther difficulties
there, which ended 10 his taking the lie OF ano-
ther, and in his own life being taken.
He arrived in the neighborhood Of Brazeria
about the 10th ultimo; about six or eight miles
from the town, in the woods, he met DIR. John Nc
Neil Stewart; an alteration arose between them,
relative to a friend of Mr. Stewart, both being arm
ed; Allston drew his knife to stab Hin, but Stew
art perceving his intention, fired three shots at
him with Of Colts pistols; Allston, though Sc
verely wounded, fired rifle and shotgun at his
opponent, which instantly killed him.
A memorandum from Themas F. McKenna, OF
Galveston the back of one of the letters, states
That Allston was arrested, taken out, and shot by
the citizens of Brazoria.
