Republican Decency.

The Republican party of this town must
feel proud of some of its members, when a
Minister of one of the leading churches
brings himself and bis religion SO low as
to mingle in crowd of politicians, and by
indecent slang and inuendoes, attempt to
create prejudice against the Democratic
candidate for Governor. Isn't he beau
tiful specimen of follower of the "meek
and lowl y Jesus"
And should not the same party feel
doubly proud of their organ here when it
publishes the two bare-faced falsehoods
that Mr.. HOBART spoke in front of saloon,
and was scooped out by CARL SoHURTz.''
Here are specimens of Ministerial and
Editorial decency in the ranks of the all
decency party.

CHARLES O'CoNNER.-A New York pa
per draws the following portrait of the
great New York Lawyer:
"Jeemlng taller than he really is, from
the spareness and meagerness Of his wiry
figure, this gentleman, dressed in tightly
buttoned black, with an old beaver hat
showed back from a square granite FORE
head ; with large, cleaning, dark eyes, APP
parently observing everything, while real
ly absorbed in other thoughts; a fresh and
pink complexion, curiously contrasted with
a mistling grey beard, which serves as
fringe to a strongly marked, keen, and sar-
castle mouth and chin; and the whole
topped off with vigorous growth of hair,
still standing out manfully for its original
color, but fast being changed under silver
frost-such is the external man of Mr.
Charles OConnor, beyond all question the
first lawyer, in the old English sense, off the
bar of the State of New York 4; and in the
opinion Of many, the first lawyer in the
Union. Mr. O'Conner's manner and APP
pearance are exceedingly peculiar, and the
eacticity, unsubdued by time, of an ener-
getic man just entering the race of life
Though really Of an ardent nature to his
friends, his presence is perfectly freezing to
those not acquainted with him, and when
the wind blows at all keenly, he might be re-
garded as six feet of the North Pole but
toned up IN professional broadcloth"

You Tickle Me and I'll Tickle You

1t is whispered in certain quarters that
few men in our county belonging to the
two respective political parties, who are,
or aspire TO be leaders, have been in the
habit of trading with each other to secure
the success Of candidates for different Of
fees upon the two tickets, and that this
habit has become so confirmed with them
that they have made similar trades to be
consummated at the coming election; and
the Democrats Of a certain locality are to
be bartered off to the support of the Re-
publican candidate for Assembly in this
District. What necessity is there for ma
king any such trade with the Opposition (!
Have not the Democrats large ma orities
in the county and in this Assembly Dist
riot Cannot both RANKIN and OLAsrED
be electeda Most certainly they will be
if Democrats do their duty, and spurn all
offers to cell their principles for less even
than a mess of pottage. Democrats in
this county, when the majority Of their
party is overwhelming to the Opposition
on strict vote, must be regarded as very
great simpletons to allow themselves to be
drawn into play with the Shanghais the
game of You tickle me, and I'll tickle
you" All the tickling would be done by
Democrats. Democrats would be the tick
lers, and the Shanghais the ticklees. Let
Democrats rather address themselves to
the work of Kidding the party of those
men who have merely used it TO promote
their own selfish and ambitious schemes.

LADY FRASKLIS.-It is proposed by the
English journals that the British govern
ment-which in March, 1850, offered a
reward Of f2C,0OO to "any party or par
ties who, in the judgment of the Board Of
Admiralty, should discover or etfectually
relieve any of the crews" of Sir JouS
FRANkLIN's expedition, or 10000 to any
party who should give such information as
would lead to their relief, or definitely as
certain their fate-should pay the cost. at
least, of the expedition sent out by Lady
FRASKLIS in 1857, which has returned
with the fullest information of the fate of
FRANKLIN and his companions. Lady
FRANKLIN has expended all her fortune,
amounting to 100000, in the search; and
the Philadelphia Press proposes that, I'M
less the British Government pay the re
ward offered, the women of England and
the United States unite in subscription to
raise fund for Lady Franklin's future
support.

Inc HARVEST IN EURoPE.-The Vienna
Gdzette Of September oath says it was ex-

but the yield is so bad that the price of
wheat has risen considerably. In as far
as the wheat is concerned, the forepoino
remarks applies to the country lying on
the lower Danube as well as to Austria.
In the Banat, the so.called ''gransry of
Austria" not much above third of the
usual quantity of wheat is grown.

Whereas, the term of office of T. G..
Olmsted, as Clerk of the Circuit Court of
Manltowoc county, is about to expire, and

LATE FoREIGN NEws.-The steamships
Ocean Queen and Persia arrived at New
York on the 25th, and Goth; and we give
a brief summary of the news in to-day's
Pilot. The Italian question again begins
to assume warlike aspect. Sardinia and
France refuse to submit to the demands of
Austria. France has proposed to submit
the disputed points to arbitration, but
Austria does not accede even to this PRO
position, and thus the Conference remains
in stotu quo. In the mean time the Itali-
an patriots, with GARIsALDl at their head,
are making vigorous Preparations to defend
their rights and county.
LATER.-By the arrival of the Nora
iScotian we learn thata treaty of peace has
been signed by France and Austria.

Through the kindness of Mr. IRA P.
SMITH we have received the Milwaukee
Seutinst of Wednesday-two days in ad
vance of the mails-which contains an &C
count of a terrible accident on the Chca-
go & North Western Railroad, near Wa
tertown, in this State, on Tuesday last
We copy the particulars from the .Scnti-
ael, and with a sorrowful heart regret to
state that Hon. NJ. J, Thomas, U. S. Mar
shall for this State, and others of our ac-
quaintance lost their lives by the sad ca
tastrophe. The Sentinel says:
Our city was thrown into the greatest
excitement yesterday afternoon, by the re-
ceipt of a Geographic despatch from Wa
tertown stating that the excursion train
going from Oshkosh. Fond du Lac and
Watertown to Chicago on the North
Western Railroad, had been smashed up
about eight miles south of Watertown and
twenty or thirty persons killed. AS usual
ly the case on such occasions the disaster
was greatly magnifled, but still the num-
Der killed and injured proves to be fearful
ly large.
Thirteen persons were killed on the spot
or died soon after, and two at least of the
large number seriously injured are not ex-
pected to recover. Among the killed was
Mr.. NJ J. Thomas, of this city, U. S. Mar
shall, and V. B. Smead, editor of the Dem
ocratic Press, at Fond du Lac, was so bad
ly injured that he is not expected to recov-
er. There were some fifteen cars in the
train, all filled to jam. The excursion
was to arrive at Chicago at 3 o'clock,
where every preparation had been made to
entertain the excursionists, in the best
style.
The accident is reported to have been
caused by the train running over an OK.
We append all the information about the
accident received from our own reporter
and other sources up to the closing of the
telegraph office at midnight. At o'clock
last evening We. received the following des-
patch

expenses Of the next year, only makes the
matter worse, in our estimation. 1t looks
too much like trick to deceive the tax

en- bloody milk for six months-has giy-
en- garget TO no purpose, and asks what
he shall do; to which the editor replies
Unload the blood vessel of the I'D

healthy action. The udder is a large
gland, whose Office is to secrete milk
from the blood conveyed to it by the ar
teries, and to retain it in the milk cells
until MIXED away. If this becomes de-
ranged in its action, the blood becomes
mingled with the milk.
Bleeding from what is called the milk
vein will unload the vessel for time.

the whole fabric of the castle, lodged him
in his bed on a wall over hanging tre-
