The Election next Tuesday.

The democratic candidate, Chas.
A. Eldridge, has positively declined
to run for Associate Judge of the Su-
preme Court, and the only remaining
candidates now in the field are Orsa-
mus Cole and Jas. II. Knowlton. Both
are Republicans. Mr.. Knowlton will
receive the strength Of the railroad
farm mortgagsrs, in the southern part
of the State and the almost unanimous
vote in the northern-at least the Re
publican vote. Without specially ad-
vocating the election of either, we
shall 90 to the polls and vote for James
II. Knowlton. We know of no one in
the State 50 well qualified for that po-
sitlon.
For County Judge, SO far as we have
been able to learn, there is but one can
didate-Mr l.. p. Powers. a call, nu-
merously signed by prominent men OF
both political parties, calling out Mr..
II. w. Jackson for that position has
been presented to him; but he declines
to accept for various reasons. This
leaves Mr.. Powers clear field.
For town officers of this town the
Democrats have made up ticket, and
the Republicans hold caucus this at;
ternoon at Roe's Hall, at one O'Clock

THE WISCONSIN SENATE.-The ed
itor Of the La Crosse R2DubEcun, who
spent a few days at Ma iison recently,
in an article on the Legislature saws:
One pleasing feature in the Senate
is the large infusion Of vighrous blood.
1t is not q gathering Of old fogies, or a
collection Of stupid antiquities or po-
litical fossils. Prominent among the
more experienced Of that body is Scna-
tor " orthington, who never lays aside
the courtesy Of the gentleman or the
independence Of the Senator, while
discussing and acting upon even ex-
citing questions. He has been eight
years in the Senate, and his hands are
yet clean. The young men who now
control the Legislation Of the Senate
possess talents that would qualify them
to take honorable rank in a larger
sphere of action. Messrs. Browne.
Sweet, Gill, and Hazleton are sure to
have a wider reputation than can be
acquired in the Legislature Of Wiscon-
sin. Mr. Hutchinson, as chairman Of
tllC - QNtiCi1i NoiLIiLltLCC5 tiSO cASi CISES
considerable influence, Senator Sweat
would be selected in any crowd as a
genuine Republican. He ought to be
a Republican, or the laws entitled
"Physiognomy" should be amended,
by striking out all after the 'enactino
clause" Senator Bean is ready de-
batter and always makes a good speech.
Senator Bartlett has the richest voice
in the Senate, and is a pleasing gen
tleman. Gen. Utley is the Lord Sib-
thorp or Davy Crockett Of the Senate.
His speeches are models Of brevity
and wit. He always votes right. The
Bennett brothers. are influential Sen
ators. Senator Virgin is one Of the
oldest members of that body, having
been there eight years.

GLORY OF SECEssToN.-A private
letter from a laborer in Charleston who
has been a soldier two months, writes
to his brother at st. Louis:
GA soldier, and how? With shoes
without soles, poor food, and worse
clothing. May God have mercy
Should the North march an army down
here, two thirds Of our men would ioir
them. Don't be surprised that all PEG
pie here seem to be Ia favor of seces
sion. Otherwise, many poor fellow
would be starving. Whoever refuse:
to be soldier must leave the city,

gentleman to distin2 uished medical
practitioner, "What do you do for
yourself when yon have a turn Of the
headache, or other slight attacks 20
$50 without my dinner" was the
reply.
"And if that does not cure, what
then?''
Go without my SUPPER
but if that does not cure you, what
then ?"
$50 without my breakfast. We
physicians seldom take medicines our
selves, or use them in our families, for
we know that abstinence is better, but
We cannot make our patients believe
