tempt has been made and will continue to be
until after the election, on the part of Mr.. Off
and his friends to divert attention from him and
create an impression il the public mind that he
was in no wise responsible for the disturbance
that took place here last week. But We do not
propose to let Mr.. Off escape in that way. We
do not pretend or claim that he threw any mis-
siles or directly took part in the assault COM
mitted upon the Wide Awakes, but we do say
that he was here in the streets the whole time.
and that he did not seek in any manner to re-
strain the aggressors in their attempts to break
up the procession and force it to abandon the
streets. 1t is for what he neglected to do that
we complain Of him, and not for anything that
he did do Here he was, an officer of the law.
perfectly inefficient and quiet, regretting IN
doubte5ly for polieys sake that his friends were
conducting themselves in the manner they
were, but at the same time passive and utterly
powerless to preserve order because he did not
dare to assert his authority This is the most
lenient view so far as Off is concerned, that can
be taken in the matter. The first assault was
made about seven o'clock in the evening. and
was renewed time after time. without a muir
muir or the least resentment on the part of the
Wide Awakes, until nearly midnight, when
their patience gave out and they were compel
led to take the law into their own hands. Why
is it that no arrests were made of the rowdies
who made the attacks Mr.. Off knew that
stones were thrown from Bieber's saloon. Did
he go there to see if he could ascertain who
threw them Not he. Did he 90 to another
building, from whence empty bottles, stones
&c, issued at various times during the evening,

Not at all He did nothing to ferret the matter
out, but from beginning to end was a mere look
er-on and by his actions showed that if the ma
jesty of the law was to be indicated it at least
should not be done through his instrumentality.
1t is for this neglect of duty that we hold him
accountable, If he could not keep order it was
his duty to have called assistance These men
who came here from abroad should have been
protected, and if Off lacked the ability to hold
the rowdies in allegiance, it was clearly his du-
ty, as he had the power, to call upon outsiders
for help. Ten good, efficient men would have
swept the streets, in as many minutes. of the
border rnffians and left the Wide Awakes un-
molested. But this it seems, could not be-
Rufianism was suffered to run riot in our
streets for four long hours, and was then only
quelled because its victims made up their
minds that it should no longer be So To them,
and not to the officers of the law were we final

people we trust will not be slow to award the
proper credit where it belongs, and on the 9th

him that he has been guilty of a gross derelic-
ton of duty.

Singu7ar.-Although we have conversed
with several of the rowdies whom we know par
ticipated in the outrage of last week on the
Wide Awakes, yet we have not been able to
find one who will admit that he had anything
to do with it. Some of them even claim that
they were out Of town and knew nothing of it
until the next day They are to be excused
for wishing it to appear that they are innocent,
for it was affair at once disgraceful and out
rageous, and reflects lasting dishonor on all
who participated in it.

ADVANTAGES OF THE ORGAN H4Ru0yE

We deem the Organ Harmonium to possess several
advantages over small pipe organs among which are
the following:
1st. Its price-being furnished at less than one
half the cost of an organ with the same amount of
power and variety.
I'd. The comparatively small size of its case-occu-
plying much less room than organ.
Sd. The fact that it is not affected by heat or cold
change in the weather or temperature.
4th. It's property for remaining for long period in
good tune This is desderatum in places at dis
lance from organ manufactures.

4 case Of Intdnticide = On Sunday
morning last s. F. Burroughs discovered in the
race leading to the brick mill of H. W. Blanch.
ard, in this city, the body ef male infant
which evidently had come to its death by foul
means. Mr.. Burroughs called to some gentle
men who happened to be passing near there at
the time, and upon examination by them it was
found that there was wrapped up and fas-
tened inside of the clothing upon the body, a
stone weighing some three or four pounds, which
it was supposed was sufficiently weighty to
have sunk the body when thrown in the water.
Police Justice Hadley was Immediately Motif
ed and jury empanneled TO investigate the
matter, but up to this time nothing has transpi-
red which throws any light upon the mysteri-
Gus affair. The body was fully attired with
decent clothing, and we should judge was some
three months old at the time of its death Its
appearance indicated that it had not lain in
me water any great length of time, probably
ou' a few hours. The water in the race had
oeen oraWn off the previous night which left the
you! exposed on the embankment. We do not
hear that suspicion is entertained of any ono in
particular, bat it is to be hoped that for the sake
Of humanity its perpetrators may be found out
and punished to the fullest extent of the law
We can hardly conceive what could have been
the motive that led to the commission of so ter
rible and iGhuman deed, nor can we imagine
what must have been the nature and feeling of
the monster who was guilty of it. No effort
should be spared on the part of the proper au-
'horlues, to ferret the matter out and ascertain

cue and attempts to shield Mr. Winnick, the
Democratic candidate for District Attorney,
from the charge Of incompetency. We assure
neighbor Watt that he has got hard job on
hand when he attemps to make good lawyer
out of Winnick. The fact is, as we stated two
weeks ago, that he is not fit for the office, and
the editor of the Jefersoniam is the fist man we
have ever heard say to the contrary. We have
nothing to say against Mr.. W. as man, but as
lawyer We do say, as We have right to say,
that he has no reputation, and that the people
of this county will ever regret it if they elect
him District Attorney instead of Barber

4 DlScta5mer.-We did not intend to
misrepresent our friend of the Democrat, or do
him any injustice whatever in our reply last
week to the article contained in his paper, seek
lbs to clear Mr.. Rothe from completely in the
iltrages perpetrated upon the Wide Awakes
pc preceding Monday night. We are assured
that the statement as it appeared in the Demo
crat was simply Rothe's version of the affair,
and that it was not to be taken as that of the
editor in any particular. We certainly under
stood part of the article to be an endorsement
of Rothe's statement and an avowal on the part
Ofthe Democrat that Rothe had been unjustly
assailed. We have no desire to do any one the
least injustice in the matter, and hence make
this explanation that the editor of the Democrat
may not be held accountable for any statement
that it was not his intention to make
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1860-10-26

A Fattlue.-The attempt on the part
of Rothe and his friends to prove an abb on the
night of the Wide Awake demonstration when
brickbats Diudgeons, and a certain kind of
crockery not to be mentioned to ears polite,
were hurled at the heads of peaceable citizens
who were attending to their own business and
quietly parading our streets, does not succeed
There are too many living witnesses of the
fact that Rothe was here early in the evening,
to have his story credited that he was out of
town at SO late an hour as he pretends We
don't blame Rothe for wishing to divert atten-
ton from him, and to escape the responsibility
of that disgraceful affair. 1t is one of which
every man engaged in it should be ashamed.

made since to the list of membership. Waterloo
