The GOvernOrship.

The exciting news for the past few days, from
Madison, of the course of acting Governor Bar
stow, has created no small degree of excitement
in this City We scarcely hear of anything else
along the street. in the office or at the freside.
Europe has been thrown into utter insignifcance
by the phase home matters have assumed. Nor
is this feeling confined to politicians and office
seekers on holders, but every man who comes in
from the country, is anxious only for ''the news
from Madison" and if Mr.. Barstow has nattered
himself with the idea that the people of Wiscon-
sin have arrived at that point of degradation,
when submission to even successful usUrpa-
ton can be calculated upon, he had better take
a tour through the rural districts, and have his
mind disabused. There is but one expression
as far as we have heard, and that is decidedly hos
tile TO any submission to declared usurper.
1t win be seen that Mr.. Barstow has now APP
pealed to the Legislature, to sustain him in his
defiance of the Supreme Court, and in language
that cannot well be mistaken, asks that body to
impeach the judges, for pretending to try the
case 1t would certainly be curious spectacle
to see the legislature, that a month or two ago,
repeatedly declared that the Supreme Court was
the only tribunal to try this case, now turn and
impeach the Court, for entertaining it.
The Court, on Tuesday afternoon, had the fol
lowing actiou:-
/ Mr.. Howe of counsel for Bashford, moved for
Judgment in the case of the contest for Govern
orsEip, no plea having been entered by Barstow
J Chief Justice Wilton informed the counsel of
/ the position taken by BarStow's counsel on Sat
urday, that Judgment could not be entered by de-
fault, but testimony must be taken.
MeSsrs. Howe, Ryan and Knowlton argued for
a Judgment as being legal, and cited authorities
to that effect They contended that the informa-
Ihon having alleged that Bashford was elected,
such must be the Judgment.
Atty zen. Smith argued that Bashford was
0nlN entitled to an interlocutory Judgment, and
tthat the evidence must be taken.
! Bashtord counsel read from Constitution 10
show that II Judgment of custer alone is given
go one could act as Governor, since there would
be no removal as contemplated by the Consti,u-
ton.
The Court took time to consider as to its iudg.
ment
The Assembly Commute on the special mes
/ sage of Mr.. Barstow, withdrawing from the
Court have not yet made report. The report
| is looked for with considerable interest

IN MEMORY OF WALTER.

IN MEMORY OF WALTER,
SON OF MR.. AND MRS. h. T. WEST.
Dark the sorrow cloud had gathered,
On the bright and happy home,
Where the dear ones pleasure
More with light Of love shall come.
flushed is now the voices music
flushed the little footsteps tread
Everywhere miss darling
Numbered with the silent dead
Passed away ali, yes-forever,
From the toll and care Of earth,
In the happy morn Of childhood,
Fitted for heavenly birth;
But the tear drop gathers often,
when we see the vacant chair
When we hear glad voices round
oh! we miss him every where.
Thus it is, each JOY We fondly
Claimed to light pathway here,
While call the pleasure ours,
Soon its beauties disappear;
And the brightest flowers we cherished,
Oft the soonest droop and die
Meath the touch Of time they wither,
In ths cold dark grave they lie
Father, God, Thy hand hath taken,
From the household treasurers, one,
Though fond hopes Of earth are blghted,
We would say, Thy will be done"
For We know a morning dawnsth,
When earth's night hath passed away,
We shall meet the loved and lost one,
In the light of endless day.

o. UtSc0nSIR.
1t is of course known to you, that on the 18th
day of January last, l was summoned by writ
issued out of your Hon. Court to appear in said
court and show by what warrant hold an ex-
ercise the office of Governor of the State of Wis
consin.
At that time was firmly of the opinion that
the Court had no jurisdiction, whatever, to en-
terrain such proceeding against the person in
whom the Constitution had vested the Executive
power OF the State, and then dscharging the du-
ties of that department of the Government,
which, by the nature and necessity of the Gov
eminent ITSELF is coordinate, c0equal and indie
pendent with your own. But that no seeming
disrespect to your department ght be chargea-
BILE to the Executive, / at once employed able
legal counsel to examine the question of your
jurisdiction in the premises, and to take such
steps, as they might deem advisable to fully pre-
sent the question, and urge the legal and con-
Stitutional reasons why the Court should dis
miss the proceedings.
This has been done in all forms known to the
law, without conserving to a jurisdiction, which,
if exercised by the Court, it must be obvious to
any impartial mind, would at once destroy the
harmony and balance of the three sovereign de-
partments of the State Government and concen-
trate in the judiciary an imperial power which
would be the end of Republican Government i'll
any form. The canvass and determination of
the vote of the State for Governor, at the last
general election, by the board of State Canvas
sers, the tribunal in which the Legislature have
vested the fullest judicial power and discretion
in the matter, their decision and certificate de-
claring me the Governor of the State, together
with my oath OF Office, have been twice presen-
ted and spread upon the records OF the Court,
first by stipulation and consent, and, afterwards,
by plea, to inform the Court OF my official char
acter as Governor, by the same evidence by
which the Supreme Court itself is known to the
other departments to be in legal existence, and
the present incumbents of the bench to be the
judges.
Ii has been properly urged to the Court that
these public records and the action of the con-
stituted authorities of the State, are within the
judicial knowledge of the Court, without plea or
proof; but to leave no doubt upon the subject
they have first been twice submitted to the
Court, authenticated by the Great Seal of the
State.
This was all that could do without com
promising the integrity and independence of the
