CIVILIAN WALLACE, OR JAMES Son"
What an awful greedy old buIks Will
liam Wallace must be. Not satisfied with
the Goyernorship of his Province, lie has
been ppe-laying for the Defegateship for
several months past in his dominions. In
the precinct Conventions he has had his
traps well set. Such men as Judge Hays,
for instance, have been thrown overheard
and delegates instructed to mol vote for
Hays ia the Territorial Convention; but
Wallace is a good, fat, mecrschaum aboi-
ZIONIST, and be is Inadvertently spoken of
for the position with dgnifed considera-
ton, and delegates can vote for him with
out any compuuctons Of conscience. Hays
and the rest Of them are too conservative,
aud therefore not so much abolish and
stand no chance for The nomination in the
Repu blcan Convention Wallace has an
old grudse at Hays it is said, and hence
we can trace the particular aaimosily Of
packed precinct Conventions towsrd the
Judge Well, it's none of our business !;
and if the Republicans over there like
man without conscience, and one who
will Literally endorse all the radical meas
ures of the Administration without an If,
an and or but, they can't find better
specimen for their Representative than our
old granny friend on that '1ay cut"
SOLDIERS ON THE RAMPAGE AND Ror-
GUT Either the soldiers down at the Post
are the widest boys that ever did soldier
or else the whisky they get about town
here islhe meanest stuff that. ever did
whisky. We will be charitable, and sup
pose that The soldiers are good fellows and
that the whisky is mean enough to "kill a
mile, soldier or any other man" The
whisky they turn down must be on the
kill, for they are always on the kill-some-
body--as soon as they drink il. They get
crazy drunk, poor fellows, when they come
TO town, "a tight smart chance" Of them
do) and some Of them get so very crazy
as to forget that they are in the federal
service, and talk sccesb, proclaim them
selves jeff Davis men and give utterance
to all sovts Of confederate nonsense, and
want to kil-same body right away. They
are perfec NUISANCE to our quiet, orderly
citizens when they get crazy drunk and
they ought to know it. Now we are max
ing these remarks in all kindness, and we
would advise the soldier boys, who come to
town, drink, get on the rampage, into
scammages and finally HnnenlesS into the
lock up, to quit the business in disgust. 1t
is horribly disgusting to see good looking
soldiers making such beasts of themselves
and the boys should at least become so far
disguised as to quit drinking "blue light
ming" Bad whisky, when drank, makes a
bad man, and bad man usually comes to
a bad end Good whisky will not make a
good man any better, but if used with
moderation would probably not make him
much gorse in moral point of view
Any way It would be much better, and
more agreeable all around if the boys at
the garrison could, by any possibility. come
to- town without getting crazy drunk and
raising the cold Harry" If they should
say we don't keep any good whisky, then
we woud say don't drink any that is bad
