Judge Dixon was reelected TO his pres
ent office by the reluctant sufftages gilmore
than half the electors who voted for hun.
As none Of the party organs will expose
the fraud by which such an objectionable
mBn was foisted upon the people as the
candidate of the Legislative caucus; we
propose to state how it was done. After
he close race which Judge Dixon ran with
Judge cothren in the Copperhed State
Convention, the expressions q earues. I'm
ion men in the Legislature we're 50 decided
against Dixon, that the wire pullcrs al
Madison, who manage the party for State,
postponed the Legislative caucus, till the
feeling against Dixon hid cooled down a
little, and they had time to rally their fore
es. And, after having got the pins all sci
and their fosees all mustered, they sum
moned the caucus. 1t was hot in any just
sense a Legislative or Representative eau
Gus. But all the clerks in all the depart
ments, ann all the hangeFs-oa, at Madison
the friends of Dixon-were fauiedJ and
he was nominated against the reInonstratc
es Of some of the best men Of the party
and the result heralded as the action Of q
Republican Legislative caucus. And tbs
people were fooled into the belief that Dix
CD was the choice of majority of the Re
publican Legislators at Madison. NeyeI
in tie history of Wisconsin have so large
a number of electors in this State yot d fO7
a candidate SO much against their wishes
as voted for Dixon last month. Tens o
thousands voted for him saying it was /
bitter pill, and other thousands deciped t.
vote at ALL But be was elected by th,
skin of bis teeth, by the soldiers vote, anc
the Madison giants chuckle over it as I
smart trick, and are ready to repeat the
farce at the next opportunity. Had ar
able and representative man been nomin
ated, he might have been elected by 90,
05o majority, and Copperheadism be burr
ed beyond the hope of resurrection. As j
was, we barely escaped defeat kept Out
one unfit man AMI pitt in another with
whom very few are satisfied, Disguised Z

A GOOD JOKE. A snort time since a
Democratic meeting was held at Shuts
burg, at which Hon r. B. Simpson was an
nounced as Speaker through hand bills
previously posted throughout the Country.
1t so happened that Revival Meeting was
in progress at Shulsburg at the same time
of the meeting Of the Democracy. On the
evening of the meeting, two "Sons Of the
Green ISLE" who had imbihed rather lree-
" started at late hour to hear Mr.. Simp-
son preach ModernDemocraey. Coming to
the house where the religious meeting was
held, and hearing the voice Of the preacher
they supposed it that of Mr. Simpson, aud
entered the room. Standing fora tine
with hats upon their heads and pipes IN
their mouths, listened to the exhoftation to
sinners to turn to the Lord. one Of them
became suspicious that it was rot the man
he expected to hear, when turning to his
companion, he inquired "Isthat Mr.. Simp-

The very large imlnigration from Eu-
rope, and especially from Ireland, to this
country excites general remark. Bearing
up under the heavy burdens, aud confront
ing the neyitableanxieties and peFils Of a
great Civil War, our country is still recog-
nized and sought as the haven and hope
of the Laboring Poor Of The Old World.
And they all find here awelcome, and rea-
dy work at good wages. In a few years
they will be eligible to all the privileges of
citizenship. Contrast this with the state
of things 10 Dixie, As portraye !. by The
Southern illustrated Neaos lRichmond,)

"Mr. Clay of Ala, has introduced [in the
Rebel Congress a biz looking to the repeal
Of Naturalization Laws. The second section
provides that
"No person Of foreign birth, who was
not cilizen Of the Confederate States at
the time Of the inaugurationo Of the perma-
nent Government Of the Confederate States

law. EthnoIogists have decided that The
/ admixure Of an inferior with superior race
of the human species degrades tue latter
to the level of the former, and it is very
cei tain that, unless we restrain immigration
by the most stringent laws, we shall in a
very few years after peace is declared be

Government forwarded further supply OF
1000 barrels of powder. 1000 shells, a
number Of field guns and some boxes Of
ordnance, which are stored al Mare Island

apparent that San francisco is. in many

for il can never be assaiIel by any such

The British Gotefnmentj meantime, has
left its own possessions on the Pacific

friend just from Kentucky who has had
excellent opportunities Of observation. in
forms US that the breadth planted to tobac-
co there is greater than ever before, not
withstanding the general arrangements
from war causes. The people have, in a
m assure, become accustomed to raids, and
hence feel less alarm from them than for
mefly, and knowing that tobacco is crop
that armies cannot forage upon, have in a
great degree substituted it for corn and
small grains. The present high prices Of
the weed also stimulates its culture. From
tlis cause Illinois tobacco may not bring
as high prizes as have been anticipated.
