CANDTDAra FOR chi sF JUSTICE.

The Union members of the Senate and
Assembly met at Madison last week with
view to take some action IN reference to
the coming election for Chief Justice.
1t was thought best to take no action
further than the following resolutions
which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we have full confidence
in the ability, uprightness anu impartlallty
as 4 ludpe, Of Hon. Luther S. Dixon;
that in the discharge of the high and re-
spousible duties of Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, we believe he has been
governed only by an earnest and conscen-
tious desire to administer justice under tue
Constitution and the laws, and that we
have entire faith in his loyalty and I'M
swerving patriotism.
Resolved, That we do not approve OF
conducting Judicial elections upon part
san issues. :.
ResoZved, That this caucus adjourn
without balioting for candidate for Chiei
Justice. !,
Judge Dixon was elected before as the
democratic candidate and has held the OF
fee of Chief Justice for three years. de
is democrat to all intents, with the on
" condition that he is union man, IN
favor Of the constitution and opposed to
the rebels. We do not think he favors
the Copperhead movement to appoint
peace commissioners to 90 and beg the
rebels to come Lack, and thereby play the
coward. We think he is in favor of send
ino them bullets rather than whining mes
sages. We can cordially support Dixon
or any other democrat who supports tho
Union. His personal habits are good.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF JUST RBTRI.
BUTTON.

The legislature passed a bill to relieve
Pump Carpenter from his agreement to do
the State printing, but the Governor has
vetoed it. Carpenter took the worL at a
specified price for each kind Of work great
ly below usual rates, so much below that
he could not buy the stock for what the
State was to pay him. He meant to
wiring in for extras, for all work about which
there might be doubts as to class or price.
II was a jockey bid he made, such as any
rogue may pu. in for work. Bnt the con-
tracing agents on behalf Of the State were
printers and felt bound to head him,
which they did. He signed the contract
made in pursuance of bis bid, after spell
of whining, trusting to the fortune of there
being democratic legislature this winter
to not only relieve him but make him an
indirect present oft to twenty thousand
dollars. He will DO doubt be applying to
future legislatures for back pay and pen
sions for several years, under the plea that
through patriotism to party and working
too cheap for the State he is a dead broke
man. Nobody can pity him, for he Vas
walked in with open eyes and been caught
in such trap as most rogues are caught
in their own trap--a trap of well earned
poverty and disgrace.

FIELD HISTORY OF WISCONSIN VOf.UN-
TEERING.

Ever since the war begun, Mr.. E. b.
Quiner a worthy and competent gentle
man now residing at Madison and for
many years a prominent man in this
State, has been gathering materials for a
history of the services Of our State Vol
unteers. He announces in the State Jour
nal that he will shortly commence pre-
pairing the work, and calls upon persons
throughout the State to send him letters
and newspapers containing valuable cores,
pondence, useful for composing said histo-
nv. Perhaps no man in the State has
had equal opportunities for collecting the
proper information, and we have no doubt
he will get out valuable record OF the
State service. Letter manuscripts will be
returned it desired. Such letters when
not returned will be arranged, indexed and
bound, and thea be deposited in the State
Historical Rooms for future reference. We
hope he will receive general assistance.

The ARMY LAN-HOw 1T DEALS WITH
THE RICH AND POOR-WHO WILL OPP
POSE 1T.


The new CONSUMPTION law cannot but be
approved by all classes, the rich. the poor
except enemies to country and constitu-
ton. 1t follows the old principle in COM
mon law that all men owe service to their
country in time Of war, the opulent as well
as the humble. Ii balances the amount
between the rich man and poor man in
this way: tie rich man if drawn may pay
his $500, which amount procures him a
substitute-the latter getting the money |;
this relieves the rich man for the time, but
he may be drawn again, and again and
again, once or a dozen times-the rule
being that the substitute represents him
sell ia the army and not the one for whom
he is serving; considering also that the
rich mans property is to pay the expenses
OF the war, as well as pay for substitutes,
and be at last sui ject to the draft, we think
the amount is fully balanced. Most. wor-
thy poor men may obtain the money by
borrowing to relieve them from the first
draft; lazy, shiftless, irresponsible POOR
men will have TO serve if drafted--as pen
atty for their own hey-day idleness. But
as nature works the same way in providing
penalties for laziness and neglect of bust
ness, we are sure that none will complain
if lazy, shiftless men have to go into the
army. What we have said applies only
to men Of property who are unwilling to
serve their country. Many such, perhaps
a majority, will go and serve if drafted.
Complaints about the severity of the law
willalways come from the enemies of the
union, never from the friends. The CON-
plainers will be foIrd to be those who last
year opposed the draft, opposed sending
to TT. Lafayette those who interfered to
prevent the draft, oppose sparing another
mar or dollar to aid the war, 'ihis id
abolition war;" as they call il, opposed 10
putting either white men or blacks into the
war to save the country-in fact the CON-
plainers viii be found to be on the side Of
jeff. Davis aud the rebels--not out and
out men but men Of sign and manifesto
ton, to be known Ivy just such means as
God has supplied to all men and animals
by which friends are distinguished from
enernies, enemies from friends. No man
can serve two masters, for hatred and love
are is distinguishable as white and black
and cant be concealed. "If We love me ye
viii keep my commands" said Jesus. and
il We love jeff Davis We will follow him and
how at this law for supplying the union
army With men.
