The Supreme Court of Illinois decided, that
an express company is still liable for packa,
ges until an offer to deliver is made at the
place of the consigre e, an offer to deliver at
the express Office not being sufficient ex-
cuse, except under peculiar circumstances.
The case was package of money sent from
Chicago to Madison, Wis, to D. J. Baldwin,,
whose unauthorized agent was the Chashier
ofthe Dane County Bank. The bank and ex-
press office are substantially in the same
room, and an offer was made to deliver by the
express messenger, tits counter, asking if he
wantedit; but the bank clerk replied from
his corner that he did not, not feeling author
lied to receive it. That night the exprss Of
fee was robbed, and the above facts were put
in, unsuceessfully, as defence against pay
ment.

A HINT TO PosTM4sTERs. = Country
Post Masters should bear in mind for their
advantage as we'll as that of the local press,
that for every county paper delivered by
them to subscribers, they are entitled to
retain of the post office funds. ten and a
half cents per year. 1t is for their inter-
est as well as that of publishers, that the
county papers be preferred since there is
no trouble of making collections or keeping
accounts thereof, as on foreign papers, the
commission on which will not average more
than six or eight cents per year

The Third Congressional District.

No call has yet appeared for a Republican
Convention in the Third Congressional District
of our State to nominate candidate for Repre-
sentative. 1t is high time, we think, that such
a call should be made without further delay.
The Republican nominee, whoever he may be,
ought to be in the field by the 1st of September,
at the very latest. The District. as all know, is
a very large one and needs to be Thoroughly can
vassed. 1t is probable that the present Demo-
cratic incumbent, Mr. Larrabee, will be again
the candidate Of his party, though he is very
strongly opposed in his own political household.
We do not think that Mr.. Larrabee has trength-
ened himself in the District by his performan-
ces at Washington and elsewhere, DIT ring the
past winter and spring and therefore believe
that with good candidate and vlgoruos and
united efforts, the Republicans can redeem the
Third district and send an unbroken Republican
delegation to the next Congress. But they will
need at least two months of active work to ac-
eomplish this, and therefore no time should be
lost in calling their District Convention and Sc
Letting their OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Sen
hael
We concur in every thing that the Sen
tlnel says above, and trust that the proper
committee will at once move in the matter
of calling Convention to nominate can
didate for Congress for the Republicans of
this district to elect in November. The
Democrats have called their Convention at
Fond du Lac, for the 31st inst, and if the
Republicans expect to succeed they should
have their candidate in the field as soon
after that time as they possibly can. There
is hard work to be done, and considerable
of it, if we carry the day, for the Demo-
Gratis will contest every inch of ground and
strain every nerve to defeat us. Although
there will be strong opposition to LARA
bees nomination, by many leading Demo-
Gratis, yet we think he stands more than an
even chance to succeed in obtaining it. Our
own opinion is, that he can be beaten, tho
IN some respects we regard him as some
what formidable. An early nomination on
our side, and anominee of the right stamp,
with thorough canvass of the district, is
all, we think, that is required to secure our
success.

WHAT THE SOUTH REALLY FEARs.-What
the slave breeders of the South most fear in
the event of the election of a Republican
President, is the formation of Republican
party in their, midst, imbued with rhe same
sentiments in relation to Slavery that Wash
ington, Jefferson, and the other fathers of
the Republic entertained. They know that
Republicanism contemplates no onslaught
upon Slavery in the States-thatit fully recols
Misses the right of the States in which it exists
to regulate and control the insttLt on. Here
is the testimony of the New Orleans Courier
upon the subject We quote: EEAVt
Too polite by far to use direct violence
against slave property, Black Republicanism
would adopt a far more fatal agency-more
fatal, because insidious, to effect its cherished
policy-the agency of Federal patronage.
In the corrupt times in which we live, thous-
ands can be counted in almost every South
ern community, who would gladly accept
office and employment under such a Govern
ment, and these very men would be the first
to form nucleus OF the Republican party in
the Southern States. They would collect
around them the Abolition emissaries in
sleeps clothing, whom we have so long been
unwittingly supporting and would be the
means of gradually sapping and undermining
those sentiments which we have all been
taught to entertain from early youth, and of
converting the evil minded into open advo.
Gates of gradual emancipation, if not of down
right abolition. The example of Missouri
Virginia and Maryland, is before u.s. and
the liberation with which these doctrines are
publicly broachod by avowed Republicans,
should prove warning and a lesson to US IN
the extreme South

asg@ In the democratic strongholds in
the State of Indiana, while large mart of
the democracy is leaving Douglas, going
over to Breckenridge and Lane. the Ger
mans are wheeling into the Republican line
with nearly equal unanimity. If we did
not consider him as amongst the most des-
picable of men, and that the political pur-
gatory to which he is certainly destined
may contribute to make him a better man,
in the present desperate condition of his
prospects we should almost pity poor
Douglas. We are really sorry for all his
duped supporters who are not so bad as he
is, but who, otherwise, are respectable
men.

To Test THE QUALITY OF WooL.-A Tex,

Of the spirals OR folds, in the space of an inch
it equals in quality the finest Electoral of
Saxony wool grown. OF coarse when the
number of spirals to the inch diminishes, the
quality of the wool becomes relatively inferior.
Many tests have been tried, but this is con,
sidered the simplest and best. Cotswold
wool and some other inferior woods do not
measure nine spirals to the inch. With this
test, every farmer has in his possession a
knowledge which will enable him to form a
correct JUDGMENT of the quality of all kinds
of wool. There are some coarse woods which
experienced woo'growers do not rank as
wool, but as hair, on account of the hardness
and straightness of the fibre. = 81

SENATOR SEWARD in WIsCoEsiN.--The Re-
publican State Committee have received in
formation that Hon. VIM. h. Seward will 7isit
this State some time this fall and deliver one
speech at such place as the committee may
direct. This will give the people of this State,
or at least many of them, an opportunity to
hear this honored republican statesman, and
of course it is extremely desirable that the
place chosen should be accessible for the larg-
est nun bers. Milwaukee and Madison are
already urging claims that their respective To-
calities should be designated, but it seems to
US that there is no place where so large num-
her from all parts of the State can begathered,
as at Watertown. 1t is accessible from the
northeast by the Northwestern road direct;
from the northwest by the Nil. & Minnesota
and Northwestern roads; from Milwaukee by
the Mil Dc Watertown road, and from the
south and west by the Mil. DC Miss, and N. W.
roads. If the committee give due consider.
alton to these facts, we think they will select
Watertown as the place for Mr.. Seward to
speak.-Doage County Citizen.

commenced cutting his hay, looked cloudy
and felt like rain still the barometer pointed
sunerringly to dry weather, and on the stenSth
