The Htscoasia in speaking Of the Mineral Point
Rail Road Co. saws
We would here protest against naming rail
road after one Of the proposed termini. as above
Nine teuths OF our readers could form no idea as
10 the length or direction Of the road. We believe
II Is intended to tap poiut the Chicago and
Galcna Railroad This Is conjecture however
for the Mineral Point papers have rot deigned To
enter into any particulars
The Legislature. and not Mineral Point, is re
sponsible for the name of this company. We dis
approve of it and would prefer calling it The Mn
eral Point and Sta:c Line road. II the editor of
the Wisconsin had ~dcignei TO read the Tribune,
his beuighted mind might become healed OF the ig-
uorance of which he complains. Several times
since the Charter was granted We haze published
as far as could be known the probable route, and
terminus of said road. But Tor the special benefit
Of our neighbor, will repeat that the Mineral
Point Railroad IS expected 10 take southern di
Fecton and terminate at tie line between Wiscon-
sin and Illinois, somewhere ln the ghborhood Of
tie head wates Of Apple River. If this is not
sufficiently definite and the editor of the Uiscon
sia viii visit Us about year hence, we will give
him ride over the road and show him both route
and terminus, as well as a large ar;ount of bust
ness which might have been secured to another
point

The Fishery Difficulty.

The course Of the English relative to
the Northeastern fisheries, is causing no
small degree Of excitement throughout the
country. The British government, it ap-
pears. have recently discovered a new fea-
ture in an old treaty, whereby they wish
70 drive the American fishermen from
grounds they have occupied without mo-
lestation for many years The L. S. Sen
ate have taken the matter under consider
alton, and from present appearances, un-
less the British government craw fish, the
services of Con, Scott may be needed be
fore he takes up his residence at the

The Card of Hon. Mortimer NJ. Jackson,
independent candidate for Judge of the Fifth
Judicial Circuit, appears in our paper this
week. lie presents his name at the request
OF his countTymen of both parlies-but not as
the candidate Of any party. The office is one
that never should be trameed BY responsible
ty to any party, clique or section; the station
Is too holy to be furnished by the ordinary
means OF electloneeTing-too profitless to be
craved by the selfish and aspiring.-If the
people elect the candidate, he will be respon-
sIble to the people for his acts; if he knows
not his friends, rome can charge him with
favor;tlsm; if he knows not his enemies, none
can say, / hace been brought 10 judgment be-
fore mine enemy. As the station is one of
power over life, liberty, and property, al! in
the enjoyment Of those rights should be free
in the choice Of him who may have to sit in
judgment on those rights; for the true source
OF power Is the People-the Judge is only the
executor.
Such, then, are our reasons Cor opposing
party nominations for Judges; such are also
our reasons forfavoring this free and independ-
ent method of electing a free and independent
/ Circuit Judge this fall. Then no party will
claim him; he will fear 10 party; he will be
the peoples Judge; and the people will Judge
/ of his acts freely. Caucuses are, at best, but
necessary evils; and are intended to draw
party lines; party lines imply party obliga-
tons, party triumphs, favorilism and proscrip-
ton.
As to the moral, legal and mental abilities
of Judge Jackson, we copy what the Potosi
Republican of last week says:
"Hon. NJ. NJ. Jackson-The card of this
gentleman, announcing himselfas a Candidate
for Judge Of the 5th Judicial Circuit, will be
found at the head Of our column. 1t is unne-
cessary to speak ofJudge jackson as an indi-
vldual or his qualifications for this important
place, as he has, for several years, been per-
sonalIy known TO most Of our citizens. As a
private citizen, we believe he enjoys the es-
TEEN and respect Of all who are favored wi h
his acquaintance. His moral habits we have
never heard questioned, and all admit the
Judge to be the most friendly social men liv-
ing. His requirements, as a classical schol-
ar, as viii be readily perceived from his con-
versatlon and public remarks, are of the first
order. lie speaks fiuently, correctly, and al
ways TO the subject. Having already served
term Of nearly four years as Judge of this
Circuit, his manner in which he las discharr-
ed his duties while on the bench, is the best
criterlan by which to estimate his capacity for
the post; so far as our knowledge goes, he
stands high III the estimation of the members
of the bar, and in his adjudications has given
general satisfaction TO the litigant parties
Occupying as he does, the esteem and conf
dence of all parties in the Circuit, having pro-
ven, on trial, his abundant capabiify of per
forming the duties of the Office for which he
again offers his services, we hope to see him

being set. The rat approaches the bait, but
never reaches 1t, for in the act of taking the
balt spear or rather hook, is driven instant
ly through his head, and he is thrown dead
from the trap, some ten feet. The objection
urged against most rat traps, after one or two
rats are caught or killed, others will not come
near the trap, is entirely obviated in this de-

eighty, or less than eighty acres. he may en-
ter and purchase the same at fifty cents per
