A Wisconsin Judge Nominated
Through Bribery. .

Judge Wetherby, of the Eighth Judicial
Circuit, was an independent candidate for
reelection at the late spring election.
When first elected to the Bench he was re-
garded as a Republican, but being suspect
ed of friendship for President JohnsOn's
restoration policy, the Radicals, who have
the majority in that circuit. determined to
throw him overheard for the benefit OF one
of the many aspirants in their own ranks
whereupon general scramble commenced
for the Radical nomination, resulting in
the bribery of sufficient number of the
members of their convention to secure the
nomination and ultimate election of II. 5
Humphrey. The facts have been published
and the bribery is confessed. 1t seems that
two delegates from Pierce county were OPP
posed to Humphreys nomination, and their
votes were necessary TO secure It.. Their
names were Jay and Wise. Bute A. TAYLOR,
Judge Humphreys friend, thus states what
took place;
Argument, persuasion,. entreaty, were
used without avail. About midnight of the
day before the convention, a few OF Mr..
HIS friends decided to try the greenback
argument. 1t was thought that if Mr.. Jay
was secured, Mr.. Wise would not hold out,
aud Mr.. Jay was offered 800 for his vote.
He asked till this morning to consider the
matter, and in the morning he declined the
offer.
There was another Pierce county man,
though, who was more impressible to Pc
cuniary influences. He indicated that he
was in the market; and here is Taylor's
history of the transaction with him:
About noon one of the White faction told
one of Mr.. Humphreys friends that he
wanted to see if he could not "arrange
matters" That sounded like business. As
the result of that conference, about half
hour before the convention, it was agreed
between Mr.. Il. n. Redmond aud myself
Zone St. CroiX man being present., that the
Pierce county delegation should vote on
first informal ballot for White, and after
ward all vote for Humphrey, in conSlderG-
ton Of tohich | pledged myself TO pay him. Red
mORd, $500 Immediately after tie COnuentiOil,
and ID ,gaS further agreed that they Were TO
support HumphreM il he lgas nominated, for
,otich, if he lgas elected, dgreed 10 pay him,
Redmond, another $780, as soon as the election
toaS dSCertaiRed. The arrangement
was fairly carried out, in convention, ex-
cept that on the formal ballot, Mr.. Jay voted
blank. Soon after the contention, Mr. Red
nloRd and lgem into room, locked the door,
and paid him his $500.
Such are the disgraceful circumstances
which led to Humphreys election, and to
which in fact he owes his position on the
bench. 1t can scarcely be expected that a
judge whose way 10 Office is won by arrant
corruption of this character will administer
the law impartially; and if Humphrey has
any respect tor himself or for the State In
which he lives, he will voluntarily abandon
position thus obtained.-DetrOH Press.

The great issue before the people is, [
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands of the
General Government-the States being re-
duced to the condition of cOunties-and
consolidated despotism be thereby estab-
lished; or, whether those rights of local
selt-gOvernment which our fathers enjoy-a
ed and which we inherited from them, and
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government, no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
Apowerful faction, represented bya ma
jority in Congress, have conspired to over
throw the free and benellcent Institutions
of our fathers and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes, crushing
the mass of the people and all individual
liberty, under the weight of despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet this object, they, in plain violation of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and insist
upon comforting upon negroes the right
to vote-not out of regard to the negro,
but because they expect to be able,
with their money, to control his vote, and
thereby perpetuate their party ascendency.
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspiratOrs, who cherishes,
the institutions founded by our fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
of local self-gOvernment, who is opposed to
seeing the great State of Ohio shorn of her
dignity and reduced to the dependent con-
dition of county, or who is opposed to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy
in rescuing our country from the grasp of
the Malgnants. - ..-... r.tg,

To see a sick pig is in the estimation of
some, even more rare than seeing It dead
donkey, and it may be deemed waste of
| time to devote valuable space to the conSid-
Grafton of the diseases OF this animal.
On the other hand, it is well known that
even at this time there is great mortality.
and it is an undoubted fact that very fatal
and dangerous and contagious fever, de-
structive parasitic maladieS, and a host of
other disorders are to be witnessed in we'll
stocked stys. Diseases of horses are called
lung fever-of the dog distemper. Those
of the pig are known by the absurd name
of measles. There are many sudden deaths
among pigs that have been attributed to
measles, whereas well-informed person
would Gell you that the spotted condition of
the skin was due to hydtidS beneath it--all
members of which are OF the genus cysti-
cercus, pervading the soft tissue of the body,
and il swallowed uncooked produce tape
worm in man-this and the trictina disease
are enough to prove the importance of
knowing more than is generally known re-
garding the diseases of the pig. 4 ...
| Now and then we hear of deaths among
pigs, by persons trying their hand at giving
a dose of castor oil, when as in the process
of shearing such an animal, he gets more
noise than WOOL" and in addition he feels a
| ueau weight OH Ills IlduuS, anu at Cne same
time sees the poor pig stretched lifeless at
| his feet. AS a rule no medicine should be
given to this animal that is not of the most
tasteles kind, and that in powder, and the
| best is tartar emetic, given. in some
\ cases in sufficiently large doses to produce
vomiting. Five to ten grains in little slOp,
and it, the skin is yellow, showing disease
of the liver, 20 or 30 grains of calomel may
| be given in the same way. White helle-
bore is held in high estimation by well-in-
formed persons for diseases of the pig,
given in doses of from to Is grains, and
is even regarded as specific in severe at
tacks of sore throat, which so often pre-
sent malignant character in the pig. /
have spoken of tartar emetic only as an
emetic. but when given in doses of about
the third of grain, at short intervals and
stopped when sickness is induced, tits even
more valuable than the Hellebore. AS a
useful purge for the pig, two crotOn beans,
bruised and mixed with the food, acts very
well. ia1l.5. iul
Bleeding used to be considered the great
panacea for all diseases of the pig, as well
as of other animals, but ie is tar less called
for in the pig than in any other animal !;
which fact, when well known, will save
many piece of poor piggie's tail and ears,
which have been so npmercifully cropped.

so often by cutting thetail, that in one at

We are convinced that the war for the
preservation OF the Union was a splendid
success-that the country is better otf-that
the negroes are happier-that people are i'm
better circumstances, especially the thieves
and robbers who have faUtened upon blood
and have stolen their enemies pOOr-that
the way to make one section of the country
love another section is to fight, rob- steal
and desolate tnem into happiness-thato our
taxes are lighter-that Republican re-
trenchment and reform is good thing for
poor people and tax payers-that the sure
way to national greatness is to quarrel with
sections continually-thata people are apt
to love their persecutors-thatit it is honOra-
BILE and an evidence of manly Christianity
to hammer man after he is down-that it
is a blessing for poor men to pay interest on

negroes are better off III rags, sickness
and shallow graves than at cOntented labor

Mass Meeting, held i'm SHt. GiIead,
10 IndOrse the Veto Messages of
President johnson. etc.

Pursuant to call heretofore published
in the Union Register, a large number of the
citizens of Morrow county met in the
Court House, on last Saturday, to indorse
the veto messages of President johnson,
approve of the sentiments enunciated in
his speech of the 22d of February last, etc.
The meeting was organized by calling
Richard Willison, Esq, of Chester, to the
chair, aud appointing II. S. Prophet Sec
retary, and I, p. Morrison Assistant.
H. s. Prophet, Captain Jesse Meredith
and Bertrand Andrews, were appointed a
committee on Resolutions. Af
Hon. Jesse Meredith and II. G. Brum-
back, Esq, being called upon, respectively
addressed the meeting in able, well-timed
and patriotic speeches, which were well re-
ceiyed and frequently applauded. At the
close of Mr.. Brumback's remarks, III. s.
Prophet, from the committee on Resolu-
tions, reported that Mr. Andrews was not
present to meet with the committee, aud
asked to submit the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted = -
Resolred, That the people of Morrow
county fully and heartily indorse the ac-
tion of President johnson in his veto of
the bills passed bv majority of Congress
known as the "Freedmen's Bureau, bill'
and the "Civil Rights bill;" also, that they
most cordially approve cf and indorse the
sentiments OF the President as enuncia-
ted in bis speech delivered in the city of
Washington, on the 22d day of February,
| 1866. .....,
Resolved, That so long as the President
shall continue in his present patriotic
course in defending the Constitution OF the
United States, striving to allay the feelings
of bitterness and hatred that unfortunately
seem 10 exist between certain class of
Radical partisans North and South, by a
lust and conciliatory policy toward the
people of the Southern States, and in ac-
cordlng ''equal and exact justice" to every
section of the country, it becomes the duty
of every true lover Of his country to rem
der to him a cordial and hearty support.

Landor in his best modes was chivalry
incarnate. His courtly- manners toward
laIies were particularly noticeable from
the rarity of so much external polish in the
new school of Anglo Saxon gallantry. 1t
was a pleasure to receive compliments
from him; for they generally lay imbedded
in the sauce piquaRtS of a bon mot, Having
one day dropped his sDectacles, which were
picked up and presented to him by an

The Wedding Ring.

This ring, as used by the Church, signi-
fes, to use the words of liturgical writers,
"tntegritd ten, .fde"- the perfection of fidel-
ity. Its form having no beginning, no end,
is the emblem of eternity, constancy, integ-
rity, fidelity, &C.; so that the wedding ring
sympathizes the eternal or entire fidelity
the wife pledges to her husband; and she
wears the ring as the pledge of this fidelity
Its office, then, is to teach and perpetually

Corn and Whisky.

The advocates of a prohibitory tax on the
manufacture OF distilled spirits are too often
found active and noisy in arousing farmers to a
sense of the wrongs endured by them in the diff
hculty OF moving their corn crops to a market,
II is to be hoped that these persons can satisfac
torily explain why it is that they persist in des
troying the home maket, the branch or industry
capable OF consuming the entire surplus of the
western corn crop, and cutting off a revenue that
might be collected by millions
In the season of l663-4 the distilleries ar
Peoria, in this state, consumed about three mi Il.
lion anu half bushels of corn the distilleries
OF Chicago used probably more than that. and
the distilleries OF the northwest consumed in like
proportion. This market is now DESTROYED and
the farmer is now compelled to sell his snrnlus
corn for comparatively nothing in some instan-
ces preterrng to use it for fuel to selling i. for
the few cents it will bring him in cash. Now if
these especial champions in congress of the far
ners take OIL their prohibitory tax on the manu-.
Iacture OF spirits the farmers can dispense to "a
great extent with railroads for moving that crop,
and can draw their corn to place Ct ready sale
at iaiF prices The farming interest is suffering
