Mr.. Edmunds and Mr.. Chttenden thought it
better to add judge to the present number,
than to lose the shining talents of Judge B. ,
and gave, in speech, their Rutland county
friends to understand that if they would let the
Burlington judge alone, they (Mr. E. and Mr..
C.) would be in favor of making the court to
consist Of seven judges. This, of course, was
not offered by way of bargain, because the men
who proposed it never trade in politics.

friend C.

SUPPOSED CASE OF SuN-STRoKE-A man
named Finley, about fiity-6 years of age, was
found dead by the road side, half mile from
his residence, on the old Augusta road, last
Saturday. He had been in town on Friday, and
started on foot for home Not reaching his
home that night, his family started out 10 quest
OF him, and found him, as above. For some
time back he had not been robust; and i, is
supposed his failing strength was unequal to the
task Of the walk in the heat, and that he was
prostrated by sun stroke. His body was brought
into town aud buried, on Sunday. He leaves
wife and several children.

Three or four small boys, between the ages of
four and six years, were staggering along the
street in state of intoxication. Accompany.

of men, laughing boisterousy when the little
fellows, unable to stand, fell and rolled in the
dust. Men who would give babes Intoxicating
drinks and then make a public exposure of
their disgusting acts, are fit only to live among

A REASONABLE PsoPosrrIoN.-The Keosau-
qua News asserts that Ruscb cannot speak and
write the English language well enough to pre-
side properly in the Senate and Board of Edu-
cation. Upon being told that this is false-that
Rusch speaks and writes the language as well
as any man who was a candidate for the office
before the Democratic Convention, the News
desires US to send Mr.. Il. TO Van Buren county
to make speech. This is q modest proposition
really. Suppose that Babbitt should assert that
Rusch was tull-blooded African, (he would do
it to make vote,) aud ask US to ,rot him over
to the slope to show that he was not. No, Mr..
News, we shall not advise Mr.. Rusch to pay
great deal of attention to newspaper ISLANDERS.
If he travels over the State and makes speech
es, as he can and doubtless will, it will not be
in answer to such calls as this, but to discuss
the live questions OF the day. which your
General Dodges are unwilling and your Iysan-
der Bsbbist's unable to do.

The 6rst boats were soon moored, and the EN-
peror, in spite Of the observations Of his gener-
as and aides Do camp. jumped on this COM
mencement Of bridge. The fastenings, not

One might suppose, from reading their lead
ing papers, did be not know their tricks, ths,
they believed the Democratic party really
would elect their candidates in October. We
should like TO believe that they were honest in
their fsunt-d representations of successor
that they would, as they assert, make spirited
contest. We should like the excitement of it.
But We hare ne such expectations. The Demo.
cratic party IN Iowa is thoroughly demoralized
and dispIited. With its Janus faced ticket
and patched up plstform--its union OF necessity
And convenience, embracing only pcli,icians and
leaving the people entirely Quits late Huck-
aserng operations by which the State Conven-
ton agreed TO let Mr. Buchanan name the cand-
dates il be would graciously allow the politicians
to make platform-all these have divested the
organization in this State, not only of every
honest sentiment and opinion, but Of every
manly Impulse. They have crushed out the
last spark Of vitality left in this corrupt organic
zation.

hope be may make good thing out Of it.
The tone Of the first issue is less warlike than
we had expected from the name. The Eagle 10
less vicious and more docie and tractible than
was to have been anticipated, whatever it may
prove hereafter.
The condition Of the Democratic party is an
enviabe one, according to the Eagle:
The political campaign upon which We are all
now fairly entered opens under auspices highly
aattering TO the best hopes Of the Democracy.
A zeal such as was never before manifested--a
unauimi.y such As was never before witnessed
An enthusiasm such as was never before
known, are found everywhere throughout the
State to animate and govern the masses. All
il hsrmony-all is concord--all is energy-all
is determination
OF course we do not quote the above with any
intention OF gain saying any part Of it.
