IN the garden, and our attention was

We watched them sometime, and thew

and come out into the path with him.
After watching them for about an hour,

showed evident signs Of sorrow, sitting
by its side, mewing plaintivelv, and

WHAT BRICK THINKS 0F JEHU.-

q =
Brick Pomeroy, editor of the Ia Crosse
Union, q Democratic Journal, Thus
speaks Of the rescue Of Mr. Booth and
the I. S. Marshall:
Booth has escaped-we do not han
ker after hiln-his principles, or his So
ciety, still we are glad be has escaped.
For five months he has been kept at
the Custom House, at bill Of expense
to the government greater than the
whole Of Booth and all his principles
are worth. The Marshal, .. Il. Lewis,
has made & great spIutter over the mat
ter-has given rs all to understand
that Booth was there "for keeps" .
There was no mob thaG took Booth out
no shedding Of blood, bus simply a
few fools, who wanted notoriety and
sought this way to obtain it. Lewis is
q Democrat. So are we. EeiS a val
liant man, appointed to the office he
holds, and it was his duty to <ceD he
prisoner. If he had been worth q red
dog he would have kept him. II lie
had been a man with snap enough To
have taken . dose Of salts, he would
have taken Booth, and all the crowd
that surrounded him.
We respect an officer. We were
brought up to respect all officers Of the
law, and to believe them to be above
the average in point Of intellect and am
bitlon, but when we see a man no more
fit for u. S. Marshal than Hades is for
powder house, we become disgustcd
with the entire political machine. lew
is is not fit for tie Office. He never
was fit. Nature or education never fit-
ted him for Office, and his appointment
to the most responsible Office in the
State, was an insult to the people of
Wisconsin, and a danning disgrace to
the man who appointed him.
When men and boys stand on street
corners and jibc at q United States off
Ger IS he passes, and run all sorts of
saws from an initiation in the Evanic
order, to fixing ribbons Oh his coat tail,
is it to be wondered at that men lose
their respect for all laws, and sneer at
the appointing power? The lamenied
NJ. }. Thomas 1--WE hope his spirit viii
pardon Us for mentioning his Eamo in
the same paper with Lewis was a gen
tlelnan who commanded the high re-
speet and esteem Of all who knew him.
Political enemies had never q word to
say against him. He was I'll honor to
the office, and when he was removed
by death and sthe present appoiutcc
appointed for no other reason than be-
cause he was obnoxious TO the working
Douglas Democrats of Ihc State, it
made everybody sick and disgusted.-
The man who on the plea Of ignorance,
escapes State Prison, is fit man for
Marahal, and we do rQt wonder that
he let Booth escape.
Oh, Brick! this is unllind in you, to
twit on facts 50. Besides, dQu't you
remember the desperate conflict you
had once in Chicago with the wife pr;8-
oncr that you were waiting on to Ohio
SO politely? IF rumor says true, your
vaIor on that occasion was nearly equal
to that Of Jehu in the recent rescue af:

record until they were satisfied. We are author.
lied by Mr.. Packard to say that the statement in
the Republican 20 the effect that Packard requested
Corbaley to stop searching the record, is false
hooi, and has no foundation in truth, whatever -
What difference did it make to Mr. Packard how
long Mr. Ccrbaley looked at his own record? and
does any man, who is acquainted with both these
gentlemen, believe fer one moment that Packard
would have paid money out of his own pocket, and
then looked to Corbaley for it? Not one.
so far as Mr.. Packard is concerned, he has new
er failed to pay over moneys when demanded and
has never refused to settle with those to whom he
he owed fees, who's fees he had in his possession
On the other hand Mr.. Corbaley has scarcely ever
paid over when called on. We suppose, because
he could not, and not because he had undertaken
to wrong any person. This is the difference be-
tween the two ex-cerks; and again, we ask, what
have they to blow about? We want somebody to
tell us how much he makes out of the following,
from the Revised Statutes, for his friend Corbalev?
We repeat, that what is wrong in one man, as an
officer, is also wrong in another. Here is the law
referred to:
AN ACT Providing for the Election of Clerks of
the Circuit Court and Prescribing some of their
Duties.
SEC. I. Such Clerk, OH or before the first day of
January of each veal shall make out and file with
the Treasurer of the county, complete list of all
fines, jury fees and witness fees which have re-
manned unclaimed for one year, assessed during
the preceding year, the amount collected, and of
whom, to the truth of which he shall take and sub
scribe oath to be thereto attached and admins.
tered by said Treasurer; and shall pay to said Urea
surcr, upon the receipt thereof all money collect
ed; and shall make out copy of such list, in like
manner sworn to and filed with the county Auditor
who shall enter the same on the Order book of tic

Read carefully the following and closing para
graph, and say if it is not one of the very --LATEST
things you ever saw Democrats more to blame
than Corbaley-"why did they not watch him and
compel him to pay over?' Right hcre-why did
not the Republican Board look over his record and
"compel him to pay over" instead of orer- look
ing it,
So far Mr.. Corbaley's neglect is concerned
the Democratic ex-Officers are more to blame than
he Is. Why did they not examine into his affairs
and compel him to pay over? Because they neg
lected their duty they think the Republican officers
ought tc exhibit the Indifference to the inter.
ests Of the people, and are angry and abusive be

SECTIONALISM.

1t is persistently denied by the members of the
Republican party, that theirs is sectional party.
This is the greatest Of nonsense, as all the facts in
the go to prove the reverse, may be seen by
stating few of them. The Helper book was en-
dorsed by all the prominent men of the party
68 of the representatives in Congress and BY ma.
ny of the most prominent Republican papers
throughout the country. SO far as this infamous
work is concerned, all our readers are advised of
its contents by extracts we have been publishing
for some time past. 1t is denied that the Repub.
icans of this State and district are sectional and
there is not man in this district who pretends to
belong to the opposition, but what voted for
Schuyler COlfax, who is Of the "sixty eight
that endorsed this book, and not one man that is
now prominent Republican of this district but
what would vote for him again, as being the expo
ponent of their political sentiments. They DENY
being abolition, which is equivalent to disunion or
sectional in sentiment but endorse this book,
whose author has cody sat down and estimated
the strength of the two sections of the country,
and then in the same paragraph states that they
are welded to their purpose, and that no earthly
power can divert them from it-that they "WILL
ABOLISH SLAVERY AT ALL HAZARDS"
This sentiment, of itself, is enough to damn any
party that endorses it, and men that support the
opposition hereafter, practically abolitionists,
no matter how much they may detest the idea of
being called by that name. What should mere
denial have credit for, when they are acting to the
contrary? Any man that votes for Colfax hereaf-
ter endorses his political actions and sentiments,
aud virtually endorses Gae thief Helper, and when
they endorse him or his book they have also ap-
proved of old John Browns traitorous and muir
derous plot at Harper's Ferry; and when they en-
dOrse him, then they ready for anything in
the shape Of treason and bloodshed This is
where they stop at, and nothing short of it gives
their destination, if they continue to follow these
smooth tongued gentlemen whe prate about their
love for their country and it's institutions, where
they think it policy to do so, but who heartily en-
dorse sentiments that, if carried out would soon
destroy this cOnfederacy and make our country
desolate with war and bloodshed The course of
these designing men is onward and their aim Sec

thing they say to the contrary is only to get the

For the Democrat.

Mr.. EDITOR: learn from tho papers in this
place. that the County Auditor gave notice that the
Board of Commissioners would receive sealed pro-
posals for keeping all the County paupers by one
man, and that Mr.. Baker, of North Township.
was the lucky individual
This probably is all well enough, but seems to
US to be new practice; We we're not aware that
the Commissioners were authorized to take charge
OF the County Poor until they provided County
Poor House, and until this was done We had been
under the impression, that the Township Trustees
were the overseers of the poor "The Township
Trustee shall be Inspector of elections, ouerseer
of the Poor" see acts of 1889, sec. 7, p. sol =
Thus we see at glance that the Board of Com
missioners, in their great efforts at "retrenchment
and reform" have slightly stepped over the bounds
prescribedby law and usurped authority which be-
longs to the township Trustees
1t will be arguedby some. that the paupers will
not be so expensive by having them all kept by one
person; this may be true, and probably is, but does
the law authorize the Commissioners to sell out
the paupersl We understand it to be the duty of
the Township Trustees, to give notice that sealed
proposals wliibe received Tor the keeping OF pau
pers, for the ensuing year, and on the first Monday
in May they are to be assessed and awarded to the
lowest responsible bidder, and the Trustees are re-
quired to report the amount that will be necessary
to keep the paupers so sold,t the Board Of Com
missioners at their June session; but instead Of
law leaves it, the rise intelligent Board has wilfuly
or ignorantly, (no matter which, done that which
the Law does not require or allow them to do. Tho
plan must have been adopted at their secret ses-
sion. YERITAS.
