Marine Disaster.

The propeller Edith, which arrived here from
Buffalo Saturday morning, reports the new and
fine schooner Sovereign Of the Seas ashore on Skill
igaiee reef, near the Beaver Islands in this Lake,
with feet water in her hold and no prospect of
getting off. The Souereigu Of the Seas was owned
by lift BULL, of Racine, and insured for So, 900
in the National Protection CO., Saratoga Co., n.
Y, and $4,000 in the Chicago Mutual. She had
on board rs tons groceries for j. FURLoSG, of this
cits, 100 tons pig iron and 60 do coal, for HEAD,
CAMPBELL HEAD, Kenosha; pkgs mdze for
A. ID. SEAMAN. of this city, and few packages
for FARwELL & Bios, GAINESVILLE. The Captain
writes that he Will be able to save part of the car
go. The reef on which she lies has proved the
grave of many fine craft.-Miicaukee Sentinel.
The loss of coal and iron is much to be regretted
nor less on account of the enterprisng firm by
whom it was owned, as from the fact that it was
their supply for winters use, and the difficulty and
perhaps mpossbity of replacing it may suspend
their extensive works temporarily and throw many
workmen out of employ.

Shall we have the Maine LaW2

The NeacS says no; or at least without a
re-submission of the question, in a form of the
Law ITSELF to vote Of the people.
The Sentinel says YES, and "as simple and
as practical in its details as may be- for the
majority in its favor is decisiNe-some three
or -four thousand-a would have been much
larger had the weather been fair on election
day.
In cities and villages, where the strong ma
jorities were given against Prohibitory Law
people attended the polish foul weather, while
in thecountry, thousands are detained at home
by the storm. We think there would have
been 5000 more votes for the Law had it
been pleasant weather on the day of election.
The people have willed the Law, and they
viii have it. 1t is only question Of time
If the present Legislature refuses to pass the
Law, the people will elect one that will carry
out their wishes-Free Dem.

Judge Spocner.

The Kenosha County District Court is still in
session. We learn that Judge Spooner has crca-
ted highly favorable impression among those in
tercsted, by the manner in which he presdcs. This
is peculiarly gratifying when it is recolected that
he had large amount of prejudice TO overcome,
unjus,ly, as we contendcd, and as we think is now
generally believed excited against him in the late
political canvass. We trust the circuit may be as
fortunate in his successor.
At the close Of the fall term of Circuit
Court at Racine, on Thursday, the following
resolutions We're adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of this bar be
and they are hereby rendered to Judge Spoon
er for the dignifed, impartial, and courteous
manner in which he has discharged the ardu-
Gus duties of Judge during the present term
of the court.
I'd. That these proceedings be signed by
the chairman and secretary, and a copy for
warded to Judge Spooner, and that they be
printed in the daily papers.

"The Telegraph knows very well that over
one half the democratic state officers elect are
friends of the Maine Liquor Law-and with
this knowledge it supported opposition can
didates throughout avowedly upon no other
iSsue,-Heaosha Democrat"
The Telegraph knows nothing of the kind, no.
does the Democrat, we apprehend, But were they
all personally favorable to it, it would make no
difference in ourview of the case. We did not OPP
pose them on personal grounds, but because the
influences which nominated, advocated, and were
expected to elect them, were all the other way
Four-titthS, probably of those who voted for them
are opposed to prohibitory law, and we do not
believe one of them is so ardently devoted TO the
measure, TO advocate it in opposition to the in
luences thar elected him. All the aid and COM
fort prohibitory law gets from any of the State
Officers elect, or from the Kenosha Democrat, or
any other influence that helped elect these officers
we will acknowledge with pleasure, and 10 that ex
tent admit we were mistaken.

Gy-Thc Chicago and Galena Rail Road Com
pany have completeda branch from the main trunk
of their road, TO Bclot, in this state. This con-
meets Beoit with Chicago and the rest of mankind,
and is the first link riv tied on to Wisconsin,
binding her in iron embrace with her sisters of the
Union. A road is being constructed directly from
Beloit to Madison, passing west of GAINESVILLE, and
is graded to point within a few miles of the lat
ter place. The Milwaukee and Mississippi road,
as is known, is i'll connection with GAINESVILLE, and
is almost completed to Madison This state of
things has set Some Of the rail road men in that
section of country TO thinking and talking too.
II is proposed instead of constructing the Beloit
and Madison road, to complete that road to James
vile, there connect with the Milwaukee and Mis-
sSsppi road, and thence by that road to Madison
and the interior As this would save vast out
lay of money, and accomplish pretty much all that
is desired by the persons interested, we should sup
pose it would be done. In the mean time the COM
pletion of this road, leaves only fourteen miles of
staging between Milwaukee and Chicago, through
the interior, which will have the effect to make
that the principal route of travel between the two
cities, during the winter months, until counteract-
cd by the completion of the lake shore road

Coalitions.-The pious horror of our Hunker
Brethren, with reference to Coalitions, is truly re-
frcshing. set of men more utterly devoid of
principle than the bunker leaders in this state can
by no possibility be found. They are banded to-
gether for no other purpose under Heaven, and
use the word Democracy for no other end, than
to keep themselves in place and power, and make
their bread in idleness out of the sweat of others
they, in short, themselves form a coalition of the
worst character-men coalesced together, with no
thing in common but their want of principle, for
the purpose of public plumber. These arc the men
who have horror of a coalitions and we don't
blame them. Society is coalition, to protect it.
self for good purposes, and it is very natural that
those who contemplate wrong and crime should
dctest the coalition that threatens to bring them to
justice. Even Bcriah Brown, that pious saint,
who presideS over the columns of the Madison Ar
gus, by the blessing of God" means to oppose
coalitions the balance of his natural life. He don't
care what they are for, nor what about, but where
two or three gathered together there he calcu-
lates to be and lay heavy hand upon them.
What sagacious, wise, and amiable citizens, these
bunker leaders are proving themselves. Do they
expect to brighten any person by their denuncato
ry nonsense aimed at coalitions do they expect
people will refrain from acting in concert to ac-
complish the ends they mutually desire, because
these bunker leaders think they had better quarrel
among themselves and let them steal without let
or hindrance. Don't the stupid blockheads know
that their own party is a coalition-a union of in
dividuals TO accomplish ends mutually desired,
and that other parties are formed in the same way
and with the same right and reason. They Goa
lcse for the purposes of plunder-those opposed
coacsce to prevent it, and it strikes us that these
two coalitions as well as all others, can only be
properly judged of by the objects sought. Onthat
ground we are quite willing to allow these coali-
tons meet the sober Judgment of all honest men.
One word more to our Hunker brethren. This
putting down coalitions is difficult matter unless
rightly pursued As Tonga you are in a coalition
for mcrccnary purposes and nothing else it is in
eyiablc that men of honesty and principle should
form coalitions in opposition. Repent ofpast mis-
deeds in sackcoth and ashes, be honest in future,
and coalitions will cease to trouble you.

To- The Board of County Supervisors Of Re
nosha, after session cf nine days, adjourned sine
die, yesterday. We have room now for only We
ry brief statement of their doings.
The matter of equalization of assessments was
disposed of with less difficulty than formerly, and
to apparent general satisfaction. We shall present
table next week of the assessed and cqualized
value of the city and each town. The aggregate
assessed value of rea! and personal estate in the
county is 81 0s4 579, upon which tax of six mills
on the dollars to be levied for state purposes, six
mills for county purposes, and two and half mills
for School purposes.
Resolutions were passed establishing definite
principles in regard to Justices and Constables fee
bills offering a bounty of SO for wolves, under
certain regulations and restrictions; authorizing
the Sheriff of the county, on the concurrence of
the District Attorney to offer reward of not over
500 for the apprehension and arrest of horse
thieves making an appropriation of $500 for the
erection of Bridge across Fox River, at or near
the seat of Bundy's bridge TO be expended by the
authority OF the town of Wheaand on certain
conditions; and making an appropriation of sos
for necessary repairs to the Court House.
Some of these resolutions, with other proceed
ings, such may be of general interest to the pee
pie Of the county will be published hereafter.

VINO DID Ir-The Worcester Palladium
has the following on the result of the cleo
ton -
1--WE are disappointed in the result of the
election, though we have not disguised our
fears, since the ukase at Washington against
Massachusetts, Democracy, that we might be
defeated in carrying the State. The Consti-
tuition has been rejected in consequence of the
action of the national administration against
the coalition, in conjunction with causes of a
peculiar character at home; not the least i'm
portant Of which was the diversion of the
Catholic Democrats of Boston and many 9th
or places in favor Of the Wings. One con-
sequence of this will soon be the election of
forty-four Catholic Irishmen to represent the
city of Boston; and this will be quite as ag-
reeable TO us as it will betot the wings. When
the result is fully known, we shall have lcis-
ure to philosopher fully on the subject"

DcyWc think the article in our paper under the
head of "a case that calls for relief" will attract
attention. A sister pleading to brother, and
through him to the world, to buy from slavery the
persons of herself and daughter, in republican
America, in the middle of the nineteenth century,
think might cause the world to pause for a mo-
ment in its bustling career. What page of A
mcrican history this is. Can the Algerincs of Afr-
ca exhibita darker one? We doubt it. And yet
upon these bleeding backs, and broken hearts, and
dishonored persons, we are taught is built the fab
ric of this union, which will toter and fall if this
hesh foundation be disturbed. How long are
such doctrines to prevail! How long before we
shall learn that the violation of Gods laws of
truth, justice and humanity is the sure road to
destruction not less for nations than individuals
Tamcrane towering in the gaze of the world, on
a pyramid of human bones, barred by himself, was
less revolving spectacle, than the fiend of Ameri-
can slavery drunken with the blood of its victims
lifting to the sun its bleared and brazcn 'front.' and
demanding in the name of democracy and republi-
canism, new victims and new territory.
