not look for that complete success which
the merits of our cause, and the incompe-
tency which our opponents have displayed
in the affairs Of our State government,
give us a right to expect, and which we
may surely count on if at this purely State
election we 60 into the canvass upon State
issues only.
If, upon the assembling of the State
Convention, it should be determined to
make our State nominations, and then ad-
journ to some future day before selecting
Delegates to Charleston, the almost certain
result will be, the nomination of ticket
of strong and capable men, whom we can
certainly elect, and with them a majority
of the members Of the Legislature, and
after the election the same State Conyen-
ton can again assemble, and choose Dele
gates to represent the Democratic State Of
Wisconsin in The National Convention OF
Democrats, and our Delegates could then
claim and exercise respectable influence
in the Convention on the subject of nomi-
mating a candidate for the Presidency
Surely every thinking and intelligent man
must see that our position in this matter
is the right one and every member of the
Democratic party who wishes the success
of his principles more than the attainment
of merely personal ends, will agree with us
in the desire that the State Convention
when meets at Madison on the Oath of
this month, will ignore national matters
entirely until after our State election, and
will confne their deliberations exclusively
to State nominations and such other bust
ness as is connected strictly with State
affairs.

A Husband Cuts his Wife's
Throat.

On Wednesday evening at S o'clock,
Dr. Frank Royal, of Chicago, while walk
ing with his wife on Quincy street sudden
", while in fit Of rage, cut her throat, in
ficting a CHASTITY wound and Immediately
made his escape. 1t appears that the par
ties, who lived in small cottage on Adams
street had left home about the hour named
for a walk; nothing unusual was noticed
in either. They had proceeded but two
blocks, and when on Quincy street near
Wells, those in the vicinity were startled
by a cry of Murder" proceeding from
the woman, the man at the same time
leaving her and making off northward
across the vacant lot.
Mrs. Royal holding her hands to her
throat, the blood streaming from between
her fingers, ran home to their residence on
Adams street, exclaiming to several per
sons she met on the way, "My husband
has cut my throat" She entered the house
without assistance, about which a large
crowd gathered, and the most extraordina
~ rumors were ahoat, and much excite
ment prevailed.
A physician was Immediately summon
ed. He found that a long deep ga,h had
been cut in the side Of the woman's throat
presenting CHASTITY appearance, though
severing none Of the more important blooc
vessels.
About an hour and half after the com
initial of the deed Of attempted wife-mur
der, Dr. Royal was taken into custody by
officer West, at No. Ill Jackson street
the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Arm
strong, wife of well known circus per.
former.
When arrested by the officers, DR.. Roy
al protested his entire ignorance of aught
pertaining to the tragedy, which he said he
had heard ofbut knew nothing of its cause
He was lodged in Jail for examination

T In its appropriate place in to days
paper will be found the announcement of
the death of Mr. B. F. HOES, who died in
this village on Saturday last.
The deceased was but Twenty-Five years
of age-just in that period of life when the
mind and body has become matured, and
the man be suited for useful and vigorous
exertions. He was resident Of Manito-
voc little over three years, and during
that time seems to have made universal
~ good impression, and we cannot hear
Of one in the community who does not
speak with regret of his loss. lie seems
to have possessed the warm affection and
esteem of his friends and intimate asso-
ciates, to high degree-the respect Of all
the Ill will Of no one. And this uniyer-
sal sentiment of kindness and good feeling
which followed poor FRANK to his last
resting place on earth, and was evinced by
the large attendance of sympathising
friends at the funeral services, was not the
result of mere negative good nature, and
an absence of energy and positive qualities
in his character but was, on the contra
~, due to the active virtues, the strong
sense of justice, the ever present kindness
of disposition which, whatever its defects,
they seem to have been lost sight of in the
presence Of SO many noble and attractive
traits of character.
Peace to his ashes! One who has led
so pure and blameless a life on earth need
have no fear to face the future and when
we, too, pass away from this world of strife
and enmity, we ask no better tribute to our
memory than that which public sentiment
has accorded to FRANK. Surely it seems
true Of him
None knew him but to love him

OUTRAGEoUs-The Madison Journal
informs us that on one evening last week,
a clergyman Of that city was interrupted by
violence, and obliged to break off bis dis
course in the middle. After the usual in
troductory service, the text was announced
and the speaker was proceeding in his
usual earnest manner, when he was as
sailed by a mob who thrust themselves I'M
der his nose, Missed and buzzed about him,
and finally effectually gagged him and
stopped his mouth, only giving him oppor-
tunity to express his annoyance, acknowl-
edge his discontinue, and close his SER
mon. The mob, however, was composed
of that toothless second cousin of the mus
quito, the lake fly, which swarmed into
the Church in myriads, and as the price OF
the victory achieved, left their skeletons
under the lamps to the depth of a barley
corn.

WALKING THE RAPIDS ABOVE NIAGARA
FALLS ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. A letter
from Mr.. KHAN, Swedish gentlman, to
his friend in Philadelphia; dated Sept 2,
1850, contains the following narrative ola
feat which equals NJ. BLoDrS's adventure:
"Twelye years ago, two Iroquois Indians,
fishing above the Falls, were cast on the Is
land. 1t was seven days before their condi-
ton become known. The Commandant,
when he came to the spot, ordered poles to
be made, pointed with iron. Two Indians
determined to walk to the Island by the
help of these poles, to the other poor crea
lures or perish in the attempt. They took
leave of their friends as if going to certain
death. Each had two such poles in his
hands, to set against the bottom to keep
them steady. SO they went, and got to
the Island, and having given poles to the
Indians there, they all returned safely to
the main land.-Those two Indians who, in
the above mentioned manner, were first
brought to the Island are yet alive. The
Indians 90 TO the Island now to kill deer,
but if the King. of France were to give me

GALL TO show what beautiful fight
is now going on between the different
friends of SCIIURz and RANDALL as to which
of them shall have the honor of being beat
en- by the Democrats this Fall, we extract
the following sarcastic article from the
Whitewater Register, an out and out RAN
DALI paper:
"The Monroe State Rights, which ad-
vocates the nomination of Carl Schurz as
the Republican candidate for Governor,
conceives that the best way to serve its
favorte is to malign those who, it supposes,
may stand in his way. 1t courteous
ly accuses Gov. Randall of falsehood, and
broadly charges him with making trades,
promises and pledges" to secure renom-
ination. This course on the part of Mr.
Schurz's chief fugleman may advances his
interests-and it may not"
All appearances indicate glorious aud
interesting cat-hauling in the Republican
Convention. But if BOoTH il not sent to
Waupun he might manage the concern,
compromise the whole trouble, and take
the nomination himself Who knows?

A few days since a Mr. Wright pur-
chased negro man somewhere in Gentry

started for St. Joseph, designing to ship
the negro from that point for the southern
market. When about four miles from the
city, the negro became possessed Of his
masters pistol, and shot him through the
head. When found, Mr.. Wright was just
expiring. The negro has escaped. Mr..
W. is represented as high toned gentle

JAMES WHITE, publishes in the Roch-
ester Democrat a calculation which goes
to show that in the late battle at Solferino,
only about one shot in thousand proved
fatal. So it would appear if the modern
weapons of warfare are more deadly and
dangerous than those of olden time, some
better mode and means of escaping their
effects has also been discovered. The fir
ing at Waterloo was more deadly and ia
tai than at SOlferinO.

BISHOP KEMPER,-The last number Of
the Church Record, announces the deter
Inination of Bishop KEMPER toretire from
his field of Missionary labors, which he
has SO long held, as Bishop of the North
West, and to officiate only as Bishop of
Wisconsin. The Record speaks of him
and his vast field of labors, in the follow
ing glowing terms
''For quarter of century he has trav-
eled over these great prairies, and up and
down these magnificent rivers, planting
everywhere the Church of God, till his
name is a household word from the Wa
bash to the St. Peters. Indiana, Mis-
sour, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minneso-
ia, have all marched into the line of our
great army ofDioceses, under his leader
ship, and Kansas and Nebraska will soon
follow. When hetooll the charge of these
imperial regions, scarcely half a dozen
clergy lninistered in all the territory now
occupied by these States. There are over
one hundred and fifty here now. The
work that has been accomplished here by
his indefatigabIe energy, and self denying
devotion, no arithmetic can compute
Ever ready, never firing, unselish to a
fault, disdaining ease, he has given himself
up to his Masters work, IL a measure and
degree unsurpassed since Apostolic days.
No Bishop Of the Church of Christ in
America, ever travelled more thousands of
miles in the discharge of his holy duties,
or planted the banner of the Cross in more
unoccupied territory, or conquered for the
Redeemer's Church, finer empires than
Bishop KEMpER has done''

TIE GREAT EAsrERN.-The statement
Of an English correspondent of the Troy

to be disputed by the following, from the
Liverpool Times of July 10Th:
THE progress which during the last few
weeks have been made in the fitting and
equipping the Great Eastern steamship
for sea, has been SO rapid that within three
weeks or month, at the latest, her steam
will be up, and she will be on her way
across the Atlantic" The entire cost of
this vessel, ready for sea, will be five mill
ions of dollars.
