proceeded to patent and set to work the
Sasaderson G Hrxeltine machine. They
opened on an Irish doggery keeper Of that
place, and the only one there; he resisted
AMI they put him in jail; then they took
his wife and liquors and emptied them into
the street; the stencil was insufferable andI
some fatal disease broke out which killed
or scattered the inhabitants. The rains
washed the fIlh into Pine river, and the
fish died. The hog cholera followed and
other calamities. But the Saaderson d;
Haseltine Board of Health proceeded; the
Irishmsn resorted to law, and by habeas
corpus or other means got out Of Jail. The
Saadersou & Hazeltine Board appealed to-
Cothren's Court. He decided that such
proceedings were unaccountable, novel, era
w, unciyilized and immoral. Here COM
menced the town and county expenses
growing out Of these crazy suits; Sander.
sons paper teemed with exciting discuss
ions. Those who doubted the success or
legality of the invention Of the Sanderson
d Haxeltiue Board Of Health, were abused,
ridiculed and their funerals read; the pub
lie mind was either neutral or clamorous
for the patent discovery which made the
sSanderson and Haseltine bell-weathers
more saucy and defiant; they failed to fore
see expenses and results. They appealed
from Cothren's Court to the Supreme
Court, and appealed to the people Of the
State, to the legislature and pulpit; they
even started missionaries abroad through
the State, and called State convention
which nobody attended. Time and ex-
penses rolled on and rolled up; several
thousand dollars of county and town ex-
penses, the result Of these Board of Health
suits, opened peoples eyes by opening their
pockets. The whole thing fell kerswash,
,Sanderson &c Haseltine and their mob and
Board of Health. Tho whole anti-spirit
circle fell to the floor mere pitiful faction,
which managed TO kick their last kick at
the judicial election. One thing more we
must mention; they made final effort to
recover character BY repudiating the terri
bic taxes which they had been The means
of begetting 3they called town and county
Republication meetings, at which patriotic
froth was manufactured by the tub-fall for
Sanderson's papeis in the spring of IS
they called State population convention
at Madison, which was attended by just
one of the gang; Hszeltine was noticed by
the Madison papers as holding alone his
State reputation convention. So this last
resort failed.
But the chief spite Of the iSandersoa
and Ea1elttne faction was reserved for
Cothren. They must beat him at all haz-
ards; without any influence at home to eff
feet anything, they worked abroad. They
called 9 convention, 1t Mineral Point to
nominate a straight republican; they at
tended that convention, just two of them
and nobody else. ! They adjourned, we /
home and brought out the name Of Barber
or Mills, we have forgotten which, Ineither
Of which paid any attention TO tiiem; they
affected disgust at party, friends and all
The result Of the election for that county
showed that some negro Of Richland coun-
ty received 80 or 40 votes for Judge, which
was well understood as the aggregate Of
the .SaaderSo1e and Haaeltine numbers and
influence. Whether the vote was intended
Jas a joke upon the negro or an insult to
Cothren, we know not nor care; nor do
we blame them, for natural factionists are
scarcely more accountable than fanatics or
other diseased creatures. 1t was under
stood that these factionists had pledged
themselves to diet on Graham bread until
the day of their triumph, which means the
day ofjudgment, for all have either fed
from Richland county or fallen beneath pub
lie contempt.
We copy from orr paper Of March 18th,
SO, the following notice Of the last move
ment Of the Sa5aderson and Haze1tine
faction:
DIVISION OF coTHREN's JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
"A bill is before he Legislature to split
the 9Th (this) judicial district by Topping
off Richland county and attaching it to the
9th lCrawford county, circuit The Rich
land County Observer (Sanderson's paper,)
favors the change and argues that, being
attached to the mining counties of Iowa,
Grant and Lafayette, whose interests and
population are foreign to theirs-they are
consequently oppressed with the predomi-
mating influences of those counties, and dis
couruged an their moral and political en-
terprasesf We presume bali dozen old
grannics in all have removed from Grant,
