In LitctAed, disdsle Co.. Michigan on the End day
day of October 1861, Mr. ZADOC ALLEN eldest brother
OF j. b and N r. ALLBN, Of this city, aged 81 years,
months and days.
When young the deceased became member OF the
Methodist Church in his early home, 0swego Co., N ~
and has ever been practical and consis lent chrstian
He prevented by physical inirmity from engaging
the active duties of life but in the fiery furnace OF
affection he has been purified and in his old age he lay
down die with only faithful sister to soo!he his
last moments. OF family of six orphan children he
was the first to rejo the parents in the better land.
Across the lake the tidings came,
An elder brother had gone home.
He was the first called to mourn,
But shall we weep that he is gone?
All ! no, for f= to him was drear;
Parents and wife had gone before
Sickness and pain were his in life,
But nov he's well forevermore.
And on the prairies of he west,
And old 0ntano's southern shore
The bitter tears of grief were shed
When the tidings came, " ne is no more"

Convention was that Mr.. Butts himself was
for the office of County Superintend-
ent of Schools; he claiming that he was entitled
to County office, on the ground that ne IS q
property holder in the country. But we think
there must be some mistake about that. 1t is
true, Mr. B. has made some desperate efforts at
ter oiiice in the city, and it may be that ne
thought he would have better success in the
country, where his peculiar talent is probably
better appreciated However that may be, he
was not nominated for County Superintendent
of Schools, and he has been awfuy severe up
on the Convention ever since. and everybody
knows how he came down On Mr.. Dodge VINO
was nominated. We shall see whether the pro
nosed Union Convention will treat Mr.. b. any
better.

SENsIBLE.-The Green Bay Ad0Ocate refuses to
support the ticket nominated by the Democratic
State Convention, but declares its determination
to stand by the Union ticket Speaking of the
Democratic ticket, the Advocate says that it is one
which under any other circumstances than the
present it could heartily support, and continues
but it seems to us that at this time it is as niu-
dicious it is hopeless"
The idea that many of the Democratic papers
pretend to indulge In, that there is almost eer-
tainty of the eletiOn of the Democratic ticket is
sensbly rebuked by the AdvocaIe. 1t cannot be
so blinded by party zeal as to to be totally blind
to the planest teachings of common sense
1t says on this subject 1--WE presume that the
Democratic nominees, if elected, won ID honor the
state bus shere is not the shadow of chance that
any strictly party nominations will be successful
thisfal and the only effect of putting theticket in
the field will be to create political strife for which
there is no necessity The Aduocate is by tar the
most reas enable Democratic paper in the State.

NTr. Dodge md The Times.

EDiToRs TELEGRAPH Il was highly graft,
fed at the article which appeared in your CO.
umns last week, in reference to Mr.. Dodge, our
candidate for County Superintendent, agai INST
the scurillous attack of The Times. Although
Mr.. Dodge is young man, from an acquaintance
with him, as Secretary of the County Teachers
Association. we know him to be abundantly
qualife ed for the Office, and we candidly believe,
that could we hear from the teachers of the
count, nine-tenths of them a least, would cheer
fully utter the same sentiments. In saying this
we do not propose to cast even the shadow
of slur upon any of his competitors in the
convention. All submitted their claims to the
decision Of the convention, and should feel NOR
ally bound to cheerfully submit to its decision
Mr. Dodge has acted as Town Superintendent
of the Town Of Salem during the past summer ,
and has given universal satisfaction, showing
1ipe interest in the educational matters and the
town Of Salem will be found giving him hear
ty support without distinction of party. 1t has
been our fortune to differ with him on political
subjects, but we regard that oflittle consequence,
compared with his efficiency to discharge his
educational duties County Superintendent
His moral character is certainly above suspic-
ion, and were it necessary, we could refer to
some of the most prominent men IN the county,
who have known him almost from infancy.
We cannot see why The Times is so much
interested in matter which does not materially
concern it. The city has its own Superintend-
emit, and has no voice in the election of the
County Superintendent. The editor must eth
er have lent or sold himself to some designing
individual or clique, or wantonlY assailed Mr..
Dodge for the purpose of volunteering in quar-
rel. We venture to say, however, that had
Brother Butts, land we are on terms of person.
al friendship with him. been better acquainted
with him, he would have spoken quite differ
emily concerning him We hear it rune red
that an effort will be made by a special bottle
clique to defeat him, but we much mistake the
good sense and morals of the people of this
county, if they allow any such effort to prove
successful We bespeak for B. l.. Dodge tri-
umphant election.

Democratic Idea of Fitness Cor Office

The West Bend Post, the organ OF The De-
of Washington County, the most IN
tensely Democratic County of the State, goes in
hopefully for the Democratic State ticket The
last Post piyes its readers the peculiar quaifica-
lions Of each of the candidates. In reference to
Mr.. Ferguson, the Democratic Candidate for
Governor, il says "He is rich, therefore he will
have no temptation to steal. There might be
a question whether all the honesty of the State
Is monopolized by the rich men. As general
thing, however the people do not measure man S
honesty or his qualifications for an important
office, by the length of his purse Henry M.
Billings, the Candidate for Lieut.. Governor the
Post says has "long been resident of our State
and regular 'wheel-horse' of the Democracy"
SO it seems that next to wealth, as q qpalitica-
tons for State Office is the having been Ok be-
ing irregular 'wheel-horse fthe Demo craey.
H. L. Douseman, the candidate for State Treas
uIer is represented as also, as being an intluen-
tial and a6uent citizen The leading idea that
wealth is the leading qualification, is still harp
ed upon. P. A. orion, the Candidate for At
torney General, the Post says, is g rising young
lawyer OF Lawyer" There might be question
as to whether "a rising young lawyer" is just
the man for the legal and constitutional adv ser
of the State Administration. An old lawyer,
who has already risen, and established his repu.
tat,on, it seems to US might be reasonably ex-
pected to be better acquainted with the nice
legal and constitutional points which that Off
Ger is expected to decide. The Post says furth
er that Mr.. Orion "was a delegate TO the Con-
vention, and spoke for himself,
In concluding its remarks the Post says that
one important fact that must not be lost sight
of is, that not one of the candidates ''sought
for nomination." But according to its own &C.
count it should have made an exception, for It
says, that Mr.. Orion was a member of the con-
vention, and spoke for himself"

"A Military Portable Telegraph.

military portable telegraph has been tried
successfully in France, 1t consists Of car
riage constructed for thai purpose, in which az
fixed several cylinders or enormous hobbies
round which is rolled quantity of iron wire of
the thickness of a strong cord This wire is
passed by machinery into the box OF one of the
wheels aud according as the carriage moves.
the wheel turns and unrolls the wire. A platoon
of cavalry soldiers follows. Two men alight at
every fifty PAGES to raise the wire on a slight
stick -Four others do the same while the first
are moving forward, and raise the wire with
forked pole, wi ich they fix in the ground, and
which is fastened with cords strengthened with
iron plates. That being done, they relieve the
other workmen, and do so in turn. The hor ses
in the carriage go forward at gallop, and the
telegraph is fixed with extraordinary rapidity
The apparatus is worked in the carriage, W hich
srves as an office. When it is intended to re-
turn, the action of the cylinders is reversed and
the carriage is turned around, preceded by the
men, who take down the poles, replace them in
a light wagon, and wind up the bobbius.

Treasury in September show the receipts to be
