Circuit. Judge,

On Monday next the election for Circuit
Judge takes placein this district We have
expressed our opinion with reference 10 the
candidates, and need not reiterate it. We
ask attention however, to the extracts which
follow from various sources:
A Democrat, correspondent of the
Racine Advocate, has the following:
Sour bean ideal of a Judge, honest, in
corrupt, impartial, is Judge Wilton. Just
such man in my estimation, from all can
hear and all know of him, would be Judge
Spooner. | have been acquainted with
Judge Spooner for number of years in
Wisconsin, and although | differ from him
on many political points, vet am sure We
can do no better than elect him in Judge
Hhlton's place for the next six years. Put
forth by the People, he is the candidate of
the People, and the People will honor them
selves by electing him to thepost of Circuit
Judge. Mr.. Gray. editor of the GAINESVILLE
Standard, places him beside Aristides and
Andrew jackson. If Judge Spooncr is fit
10 be named with those great men for hon
esty, justice, and tirmness, then | sayto my
democratic friends, let US elect Andrew
Jackson and Aristides, in the person of
Judge Spooner, to the Bench which he must
necessarily adorn BY firm administration
Of Justice
The Milwaukee Sentinel copies the above
and adds
I'VE have long since expressed the opin-
ion that Judge Spooner is admirably fitted
for the place, and we should be pleased to
see him retained upon the bench"
The GAINESVILLE Free Press, has the fol-
lowing:
GREEN CoUSTY.-We spent few DAYS
at Monroe, last week The Circuit Court
was in session and the grand jury did not
bring in single bill This is a high honor
to that county. Judge Spooner presided
and gained the appreciation of all for his
clear decisions, able charges, and manifest
abli V to fill the bench. Those who had,
by the subtle arts of lis opposers, been pre-
| JUDGED against him, were forced to change
their opinions"
| Private letters confirm the above, and
We are quite sure. if theorder Of things had
required Judge Spooner to hold court inev-
cry county in the district before election,
there would be very little opposition to him.
We have noticed many other testimonials
similar to the above in our exchanges, but
they have passed from under our eye, and
we are not able to lay our hand on them at
this moment of wanting them. But enough
has been quoted, and to it we only wish to
add the assurance, for which we are willing
to be held personally responsible, thatJudg
Spooner is a fit and excellent man in every
respect, for Circuit Judge. Come out then
on Monday next, and vote for Linn.

Look out for the Rogues.

Mr.. Henry J. ULL,ANN, cashier of the
Bank Of Racine informs us that he has re-
ceived letter from Chicago stating that
counterfeit sos on the Bank of Racine
had made their appearance in that city
The following, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa
paper, shows that the rascals are attempt
ing to pass them in that section Of the coun-
try. The Bank has not issued any bill OF
a larger denomination than FIvE's.
LOOK OUT FOR $50 NOTES alter
ed from SIS on the Bank of Racine, Wiscon-
sin. The work is well done, and in every
particular, calculated to deceive. An at
tempt was made last week by couple OF
travelling rascals, young men of genteel
appearance, to circulate them in this COM
munity But the first trial being made up
on Mr. Weare, the banker, the counterfeit
was detected, and their circulation here
prevented. Unfortunately, the rascals were
suffered to slide without arrest.

IL New York naners rcnrnsn

re-" New York papers represent the
money market as being very tight, and
speak discouragingly in regard to the pros
pect of further sales of railroad bonds in
that city. 1t is said to be the settled de-
termination of capitalists, who have already
invested largely in securities of this kind,
to favor the commencement of no new rail
road enterprises, on the ground that too
much competition is likely to be created,
and the value of the stocks and bonds now
owned in roads completed and in progress
thereby liable to become greatly depreciat-
ed. There may be danger ofthis; but it
Is not to be presumed that the entire field of
prgfiod@e rail road enterprises is occupied.
and that oil further investments in new
roads are dangerous as tending injuriouslv
to affect the value and profits of old ones
4 wise discrimination should be eyer
CT scd in regard to this matter of course
That this would be done in all cases
was to be expected. \ general dctermi
nation, however, such as the one now
stated TO have been made, was not to be ey
rected. Being unwise, and not according to
the mole which intelligent capitalists have
of operating, we do not believe the fact to
bc as represented; and have no doubt that
new works of real merit-thosc which the
wants OF the country demand, and which
must therefore furnish profitable field for
inVestment-wlll as soon as the war oues-
ton is settled, and money becomes easier
receive as much and as favorable attention
as at any period heretofore. We do not
therefore, feel at all alarmed in REGARD 70
the stock or bonds of the Kcnosha and Re-
lott rail road.
But whatever may be the determine
ton in respect to rail road securities, and
however this kird of paper may now be
viewed inthe market, our city bonds, issued
IN aid of the Kcnosha and Beloit road, oc-
cupy ground not open to any of the OBJ
lectlons suggested. They have reliable
basis OF credit distinct from that of the en-
terprlse designed to be aided. viz: the re-
sponSiolhty OF commercial city of four
thousand inhabitants, not encountered with |
debt, and with value in real and personal |
estate of a million and half of dollars
This being the case, there can be no great /
difficulty attendant upon the disposal ofthe
bonds upon fair terms, in favorable condi- I
ton of the money market And the factthat
the enterprising and intelligent contractors
oi our road have agreed TO take them at

TERRIBLE STORM AND CASUALTIES.

During Sunday last, commencing about
q o'clock in the morning, this section of
country was visited by a succession of the
most terrible storms of rain, accompanied
by thunder, lightning, and wind, that ever
occurred within our experience, and which
has occasioned nosmall amountof damage.
In the town of Bristol, a barn on the pre-
ises Of Henry S. futile, now occupied by
Joseph Fellows, was struck by lightning
and totally consumed with all its contents,
consisting of grain, hay, span of horses,
harness, farming tools, &c. &c, with stacks
of wheat and barley. All that was saved
was part of small stackof oats The loss
Is estimated al some nine or ten hundred
dollars, more than one half of which falls
on Mr. Fellows, WHO'S but illyable 10 stand
it. His ncighbors we understand. are en-
deavoring by contribution to tighten his
heavy burden, which effort we hope will be
successful

county from west to east, doing much dam
age in is narrow track Aban bclo..rinp

down and one of lis horses killed. The
timber on the School section in that town
was mainly twisted Of, broken down and
destroyed. We noticed dwelling house
a few miles west of here on the Geneva
Road, 1--WE think Mr. Twists which was
partlyunroofcd and otherwise damaged, and
nearly all the trees on the premises twisted
off and Frustrated. In the city, the brick
barn of John II. Nichols was unroofed. the
gable blown in, the floors broken, and the
horses in it slightly injured. y number of
trees Indifferent parts ofthecity were blown
down, and no doubt much other damage
done OF which We are not informed.

fee.
Resolved, That we will discard all party preiu-
dces aad distinctions, and labor earnestly aud
faithfully to elect true aud capable men t, repre-.
sent our vieMs on this issue IN the Legislature.
Resolved, That the continued effort of the afoTe

Ibis burden upon after our repeated aud clearly

IL me Itlcgrapn Is sent thlo week,
land viii continue to be, except when 9TH
erwisc ordered to such subscribers to the
late Kenosha Tribune, as did not previous
ly take the Telegraph
In introducing ii to these new friends, let
us say, the Telegraph never has been and
never proposes to be an ultra partisan pa
per. Its first object is, the enduring good
of the pcoplc--of humanity, and party has
no merit in its eyes, except as it conducesto
that end. II csteemsthe truth on anyques-
ton in controversy, much more important
to be obtained, than the triumph of anv
party, or the achievement Of any object of
personal ambition, and hence it aims to be
fair between all parties and candid on all
issues. 1t seeks to be conservative of all
that is good, wherever that good exists, or
may be found, and hence has no war upon
the good that belongs to any party. In
short, as has been said, life has no other
purpose, than to benefit kindred humanity,
and what we do and all we do. has that in
view. We may have erred in judgment
heretofore and may again in the means
proposed to accomplish the end, but it is
believed that liberation on this point will be
felt and extended among and between all
who are united in the grand object sought
The Telegraph has labored and will con
tinuc TO labor against extravaganza, cor
ruptions, and wrongs in our government,
whether town, county on national 1t be-
lievcs the object Of government to be, not
private honor and cmolument, but the well
fare and interest of the people; and hence
the peoplehavc righttocxact and demand
the same economy and honesty from their
public servants as their private; and thistle
Telegraphwill dowhat itcan to bring about
and maintain, regardless of all party inter
csts
The Telegraph has always aimed to be
on the side OF temperance morals, and or
der. Individual happiness and greatness
proceed from individual virtue and intelli-
gence; and national greatness necessarily
has the same basis; therefore, loving the
people, the constitution and the union, we
abominatc fugitive slave laws and all laws
Of a similar nature, which unfolding vice
and wrong, tend to destroy every thing and
preserve nothing.
In short, to waste no furtherwords, while
We do notcXpcct TO think and act always to
please every body, we hope by manly,
fair and consistent course on all subjects to
make the paper not unwelcome visitor to
all who receive it, irrespective of the partic-
ular party to which, for the time being they
may be attached.

Et We would say to the Milwaukee
mornIng News, that we are not insensible
OF the personal fayors Mr.. Barstow has
shown us, although they are by no means
so great or important as it represents /: but
when we have public duty to perform, we
generally do it, however much our person
al feeling would prompt otherwise. We
do not believe Barstow a safe man for Go
vernon, and say so, as public duty, at the
same time if we could with truth, we had
much rather say otherwise. But we pro-
pound this idea to the News: if Mr.. Bars
tow violated his duty to befriend us, is he
safe man for Governor; if he did not, are
we under any obligation Ia him.

~" The Waukesha Independent Press
copies at some length from the proceedings
of the half worlds temperance convention,
to show that "thc scenes enacted at Metro
politan Hall by the strong minded women
and their male coadjutors, would disgrace
bedlam ITSELF" &c. We have read its cx-
tracts, but cannot for the life of US under
stand how it gets its conclusions. We can
not perceive, even from the unfair, partial,
and prcjudiccd extracts it makes, that any
strong minded orweak minded woman had
any thing to do with the disgraceful scenes
enacted; on the contrary, they appear to
have been enacted entirely by the creatures
of the convention with whom the Press SYM
pathises, and of whom he is doubtless one.
That the scenes would disgrace bedlam is
probably not questioned, but what else
could be expected of men who have no bet
ter appreciation of the worth, the value, and
the proper sphere of woman.

but it is proper that their views upon the
important question of Temperance Reform,
