United States senator.

MORTIMER NJ. Jackson is recommended
by the united Republican press Of Iowa,
Richland and Grant counties for U. S. Sen
ator. Tn this recommendation we think
the public mind is truly reaerted, here and
there possible exception; we do not know
the orinions Of those in quiet pursuit of Of
fee in the Republican party touching this
matter, brt tlis we know, that Judge Jack
son has the popular side. We certainly
owe Jackson debt equal to what that
station will pay, for bis services during The
late canvass. He was the only man a.
mong the strong men west of Madison that
would stir though the several Counties
Judge Paine worked well in Grant Coun-
" and with stupendous effect, and Barber
made some telling efforts at home, but
they went not OF ont of their counties.
While the half dozen MineralP ointMlsslon-
airy loughEaces were yigilant day and night
in every dark corner of Western Wlscon-
sin. our men slumbered and slept, except
Judge Jackson. Had several Others work
ed as he did, not western county would
have given less than 1000 Republican ma
ioritv. I. seemed that every man IN the
country unmor,gaged some little picay-
uneG Government Office, steppedrght into the
Republican service as soon as he heard one
Of Judge Jackson's sound constitutional ar
guments for the Republican cause.
The Richland County Observer correc-
tly tells that:
"The name of Judge Jackson ought to
be prominent. Having been resident Of
the Territory and State Of Wisconsin, for
a period of eighteen years, during which
time he has successfully maintained an
eminent position as member Of the Bar,
and filled with consummate ability the Of
fee Of Attorney General Of the late Terri
tory, and Justice of the Supreme and Cir
cult Courts Of the State, and being an I'M
compromising opponent Of Slavery -exten-
sion, we feel that we are following,and not
attempting to lead public opinion, wher
we use the name of Judge Jackson, in
connection with the distinguished Office Of
United States Senator"

AGE OF TREEs.-It has by some means
become an established, popular belief that
the age of trees can be determined by the
s'rings" or grains that overlie each other
in their trunks. This is certainly the means
by which an incredible age is often surmis-
ed of some famous tree, and the question
is not without interests most men have
doubted the enormous ages given by this
rule.
Mr.. Joshua Howard in a letter to the
Detroit Tribune, says: 'sThere is nothing
unusual or extraordinary in finding toad
in a tree or imbedded in limestone rock
but what have to suggest is, that these
rings, counted on the section of the tree,a
not Of annual growth, but are formed one
at every full moon in the growing season
and in this latitude five in year. This
have frequently proved by telling young
trees, the age of which | knew, and an
surprised that the error above indicated
should be SO pertinaciously followed

It is shown by the evidence that on the

one thousand dollars to disclose to him the
terms of such bid, which was accordingly
done, and the consideration afterwards par

From a careful consideration Of the tes-
timoney in the case, the proof is over

that such unfair advantage was sought and
such dishonest and fraudulent means were
resorted to by the claimant as utterly to
deprive him of any legal or equitable claim
against the State for reason of The refusal
of the state to perform on its part a con-
