1.-THE Ruling Passion strong in Death ;"


We know Of nothing that illustrates
the above idea more forcibly, than the
course of the few old standby politicians
of the misnamed Democratic party, in
this State, in reference to the few fede-
raj officers to be disposed of in Wiscon-
sin. The people, at the late Presiden-
tial election repudiated, by the most
emphatic majorities, the whole profess
ions and principles of the sham Democ-
raey, and the party is virtually dead as
would seem that those wire-workers and
party hacks, in view of the rebuke they
have received, would at least await the
action of the President, to whose cleo
ton they contributed nothing, and re-
ccive the favors he has to bestow, IN
stead ofdictating the manner of their be-
stowal. But with these democratic cor
morants, the spoiIs is the ruling idea,
and hence their secret conclaves, and
meetings for the purpose of arranging
for the parcelling outofthe spoils among
themselves. A few old stagers who have
already been fattening at the public crib
for the past four years, and arrange a
programme disappointment, by which,
although apparently a few changes will
be made, yet they will all come in for
y place. According to this programme,
the old office holders are to change pla'
ces, but not lose any. There is not one
who is willing to give up his place for
the benefit of his associates who have
hitherto been less fortunate in the recep-
ton of spoils Rotation in Office is the
creed they preach, but it means that
they shall rotate from one office to an
other.
Ii the rank and file of the democracy
lif there is any such Left wanted any
proof that their leaders were more inter
ested in retaining their hold upon the
public spells, than in sustaining sham
democratic principles-if it needed any
thing beyond what has already been
seen, this last secret meeting of the old
office holders ought to convince them.
We shall see whether this small remnant
of the ''unterrifed," of Wisconsin will
have sufficient influence to dictate who
shall and who shall not be appointed.
OF course we do not write this because
we consider it ANY of our funeral" but
simply to call the attention of "the peo-
pie" generally to the way Democratic
politicians and leaders have ofattending
to their (the people's) interests.

Burdell Murder-Testimony of Farrell

The n. Y. Tribune of the 18th instant
after comparing the testimony of Farrell,
with that of Brooks, Ross and Strang-
man (who all swear to having heard the
cry of ''nuder," from DIR. BurdelPs
house between 10 l-2 and IL o'clock p.
N. of the eventful Friday night comes
to the conclusion that the evidence is
entitled to credence, and adds,
This remarkable corroborative fact of
Farrell's evidence is MOTTO be overlooked.
1t is that he describes the manner in
which Eckel opened the door. He (Ec-
keD turned the latch in his right hand,
and grasped the edge of the door with
his left, leaning his head to warn off Far
rel, in a voice and manner which so
alarmed the latter. Just where that left
hand would have been placed on the
edge Of the door was the mark of blood
discovered.
Another significant fact is, that when
Eckel was brought from the Tombs for
identification by Farrell, and requested
by Capt. Dicks to appear in his shlra
sleeves, along with twenty-five or thirty
other persons, similarly without their
coats, he refused to do so; and when
Farrell commenced his scrutiny of the
assembled crowd, Eckers hardihood of
demeanor for the first time failed him,
according TO the concurrent testimony
of all reporters, some of whom say that
his knees evidently trembled.
Farrell'stestimony shouldnot beightly
treated especially by those not used to
sitting evidence or to reconciling appar-
ent, though not real contradictions of
witnesses. Unless Farrell is proved TO
be A man unworthy of belief, his eyi-
dence seems of awful and conclusive i'm
port. so far as '''moral convictions are
necessary to point toward criminal.

My EYES! WHAT A SIGHT,-A New
York paper states that the members of
the woman's dress convention recently
held at Canastota, appeared in dresses
that generally reached no further down
than the knee. The Bloomer pantel-
cites were not worn, but in their place
were neat white and flesh-colored silk
stockings, fitting closely to the leg, and
laced about half way to the garter with
gaiter strings. Many of the dresses
were made of rich velvets and silks, and
beneath the skirts We're to be seen the
points of beautiful lace petticoats. This
is the style of dress which the reform
ers will endeavor to make fashionable.
W on't it look Gurus?

JUVENILE SURGEoNs.-A gentleman
OF this city, who is the father of a pair
OF young hopefuls of the respective ages
OF eight months and two years and a
halt, was alarmed yesterday morning by
a Tremendous outcry in a neighboring
room, which his parental solicitude in
formed him proceeded from the young
est of his flock. Upon Fastening to the
spot, his eyes We're saluted by the spec
tacle of the youngest stretched on the
floor, and the eldest seated upon it with
a jacknife in hand, the blade of which
heshad inserted in the mouth of the 9TH
er, and was industriously slashing away,
without paying any regard to the
screams of the little victim.
OF course he was interrupted in his
anatomical operations, and the sufferer
cared for with anxious solcitude. Up
on being questioned as to the reason
for his apparently blood thirsty inclina-
tons, he replied that he was cutting
teeth! Having seen the family physi-
clan perform the operation upon the ba-
by, he embraced the first opportunity to
practice upon his young relative in the
manner related. The injury inflicted
was severe, though it would probably
have been much greater if he had not
been interrupted just as he was.--De-
troit Free Press.

The EtEcT1oN OF CHIEF JUSTICE
The GAINESVILLE Gazette; of the l4th inst,
referring to this subject speaks as fol-
lows:
Public attention is just beginning to
be attracted to the election of chief
justice of the supreme court next April
We have supposed that the nomination
of Judge Wilton, in some form, and
his Consequent election, is so much a
matter ofcourse thatit was unnecessary
to make any particular allusion to it
We still think so, and when we see any
indications, worth minding, of a differ
ent state ofthings,it will be time enough
to talk seriously about it."
We doubt whether the formality of a
nomination will be found necessarv.--
Judge WILTON ought to be reelected
by common consent; nor do we believe
that he will be seriously opposed in any
quarter, save by the more reckless adj
herents of the Barstow dynasty, who
cannot forget; or forgive the agency Of
the Chief Justice, in ousting the Usurp-
err and indicating the purity of the bal
IIot-box.-Mil. Sent.
Our own opinion is that no better or
truer man than Judge WHIToN, can be
found in the State, for the office of Chief
Justice. He has proved himself worthy
of the post, and the people will show
their appreciation of his services by his
triumphant reelection.
