. Left Davis AZ Large

We hear far more indignation expressed BY
the people, over the bailing and hberating Of
the Arch Traitor, JEFF Davis, than we expect
ed to hear from any quarter. So long time
has elapsed since the rebellion was crushed
and events of today, have so crowded upon
the things ofyesterday, we had supposed thaI
to the masses, the fate of jeff Davis had be-
come rather matter of indifference. But we
find we were mistaken. In the hearts OF the
masses the past is not so soon forgotten. SO
many household circles have been broken,
there are SO many vacant seats at the fireslde'
so many widows and orphans throughout the
land, that the popular heart cannot see the
great head and front of all our woe, allowed
to go scot free, without an expression OF their
Indignation.
One old gentleman whose whole life has
been living sample of charity toward all
men and forgiveness of his enemies, could
hardly find words to express his adherence oil
the idea of such man being allowed to pass
the rest of his days in the quiet OF his home, IL
the full enjoyment of all the sweets Of nome
life and in the enjoyment of all the privileges
and protection of the Government that he
tried so hard to destroy, and which he was
only prevented from doing, at such enormous
sacrifice Of life and property. Come to find
out, the old gentleman had one son starved to
death at Andersonville, and another allowed
to die for want of the commonest care, III
Libby prison at Richmond, in sight of JEFF
Davis headquarters; and both at his express
command and approval. Such fathers may bt
numbered by the thousands all through The
Loyal States. 1t is little wondered that sucl
men fail to see the merits ofphilanthropy tina
pardons, and again takes into full fellowship
such red-handed murderer and traitor, be
cause he has been under the most lenientguar
dianship at Fortress Monroe for couple 0
years.

The Eight-Hour Movement.

If anything further were necessary to
show the agrarian, sans cuJOtteS hands into
which the eight hour movement has fallen,
| it may be found in the utterances of those
who seek its championship. At the differ
ent meetings of the non contents, held on
Saturday, one speaker said:
"For himself he did not intend to 90 to
work. He was in favor of moral suasion, bu
did not wish to say force should not be used
Don't starve. There are your neighbours cows
Kill one of them. don't intend to starve.'
Another avowed that /,
che had been out of work all winter, and he
| lived like a lord all the time. He could get
| board on tick, and he could take two or three
comrads along with him. There were plenty
of boarding houses in the city. When one
failed him, he could go to another"
A third declared that they
must organize themselves into committees
| and visit every shop in the city. Get all who
! are at work out of them. There were seven
wipers at work in the Illinois Central shop
all guarded by policemen. Suddenly one of
f., them fell to the ground. He did not know
why. The policemen were all around him, and
no one else was near, but he fell. The others
were so frightened by the sight that they took
| to their heels This was received with loud
applause.
A fourth said he
was Chairman of the Copmittee on Trains,
and met one man from Milwaukee. They
told him the best thing he could do was to
get out of town. kick and an oath from
one of the committee started him, and he has
not been seen since"
The Secretary had heard that Mr. Gates
shop
twas to start on Monday morning with forty
men: Those men should be attended to. the
speaker desired that book be purcha sed to
record the minutes of the meeting for refer
ence aohen they come to dgitate for sir hours.
1t may be safely claimed that ninety and
nine out of every hundred honest mechan-
les and artisans entirely disavow and abhor
the sentiments aud animus of the above
declarations. They are the counseling Of
bad men, which, if followed, lead only in
one Objectionable Jail or penitentiary. Nc
good citizen will advocate the commission
Of crime to attain ends, however Legitimate
they may believe them The laws Of right
land justice are memorable, and are so plain
that the wayfaring man tho fool, need
not iguorantly violate them.
So long, therefore, as such sentiments az
the foregoing are tolerated in public meet
ings we trust all honest men will stay
away, and spurn those who utter them as
they would a eper.-Chjcogo JournrI.

washing, one-ffth. He thought wool
should be bought for just what it is worth,
regardless of whether it is washed or not.
He thought purchasers did not hold out
sufficient inducement to farmers to put up
their wool i'll first rate condition. The good
and poor was mixed together; went to
market together, and was all pronounced
bad.
/. MIR. SKEELs, Of Ripon, has purchased con-
siderable wool. He was in the habit of
keeping the incest wool 10y itself. In Bos-
ton, some years ago, he asked why good
Wisconsin wool did not bring as high a
price as Ohio wool The answer was that
Tthe Ohio wool was better washed and put
up In better condition. He thought wool
should be thoroughly washed and well put
up--or not washed at all. Ohio wool had
but little Irvine upon it; was put up rath-
er loosely, and appeared lighter and dryer
| than other Western wool, and it brought a
better price, If Wisconsin could get up a
Reputation like Ohio, her wool would sell
as well 1t was fully as good.
Mr.. HAMMOND was strongly in favor Of
washing thoroughly, aud putting up nicely.
Wool in.this conditlan would always sell
in market. Wisconsin and Minnesota wool
did not stand quite as we'll in market az
that of Michigan and Ohio. 1t was because
it was not put up in as good order. There
was no other reason for it. The staple Of
our wool was equally good and he thought
itwas stronger than that grown in either
Michigan or Ohio He believed Chicago
would soon become one of the largest and
best wool markets in the country.
The evening being considerably advanced
on motion of Mr.. Kingsbury, the third topic
for discussion was laid upon the table.
A committee on the subject reported the
following resolutions, which were unan
Eimously adopted:
Resol0ed, That we believe the climate o
| Wisconsin peculiarly adopted to the growth 0
healthy Sheep, and combining greater length
and strength of staple, than The wool grown
in q warmer climate.
/ Bes0tOcd, That it is the sense ofthe Wiscon
sin Wool Growers Association, that ever
consideration of honor and interest point t.
more thorough preparation in wash ng an
Idoing up of wool for market in this State
that 1t may continue to advance in the al
probation of the purchaser TO the highes
market value of American wool.
4 Mr. GRAVES offered the following resolutio
whichewas adopted;
| BeSolged, That the arbitrary rule heretofor
established by wool buyers to deduct indis
criminately one-third on all unwashed wool
unjust and that wool should be bought omit
merits as any other commodity.
The meeting then adj burned.
| We have given only an outline of the dis
! cussloh1; bat have endeavored to preserv
the principal points The disease of g0ite
to which much reference was made, seem
to be a mystery. It's cause is not ascertain
ed and methods for preventing its ravagt
are not discovered. For the last few veal
it has been quite destructive to the raisn
of lambs.

Letter from Hon. Senator Wilson,

The Hon. Henry Wilson, who is making
tour on the stump in the South, publishes
in the Independent letter, which, though
no alIusion is made to it, is nevertheless a
reply to the curt letter of Thaddeus Stevens
in favor of confscatiOn and further terms
He says: Congress having laid down con
ditious of final settlement, those conditions
will be accepted" We quote the following:
cit is of vital importance that these States
should pass into the hands of men who are
for the unity of the Republic, impartial free,
dom, equality of rights and privileges in
law, and, in fact, for the education of the
people, and for their improvement and ele-
walton. We of the North have won in the
field, have won in the public councils. Ideas,
principles and policies which we deem vital
to the country, are embodied in the condi
tons we have required our countrymen of
the South to adopt. We have sought not
to dishonor or degrade any, but to protect
aud lift up the oppressed, the poor, the de-
pendent. The long contest of 'justice in
conflict with avarice and oppression" in
the words of jefferson, is over. The pas
sions, preiudices, and bitter memories en-
gendered by the great struggle should be
forgotten in this day of our triumph. In
the long conflict of ideas it was duty to
country, to man and to God to meet the
men of the South front to front, face to face
When war came, it was duty to demand its
vigorous prosecution. When hostillties
ceased, it was the highest duty ever i'm
posed upon US to see that the people We had
made free in name should be free in fact
that they should be citizens with equality
of rights and privileges That great duty
has been performed by the adoption of
terms and conditions that will be complied
with. This is not mere partisan
work. Every thoughtful man who sees the
condition of these States, who comprehends
the pressing needs of this people, who wish
es to see peace, law, order, prosperity, and
fraternal affection prevail, and our country
become the leading Christian Nation of the
globe, may contribute to advance this work.
Northern capital is needed to develop the
material interests of these States and make
the wasted fields bloom again. Northern
labor is required to enlighten and instruct
The Christian people Of the North, whose
arms have triumphed and whose ideas have
conquered, have now glorious opportun-
ty, by the blessing Of God, to confer lasting
benefits upon these States and this people.
trust they will hail and improve it."

THE WHEAT CRoP.-The Chicago Tribune
Of Tuesday last, has the following:

During trip over the Michigan Centlal
Railroad a few days since, we took occasion
to mark the condition of the wheat crop on
the line of that road, and we take pleasure in
saying that the prospect for munifcent crop
never looked better. There seems to be very
large breadth sown, the stand is exceedingly
thick, and the color in every respect satisfac-
tory to the eye of the farmer. If no unfore-
seen disaster should visit the wheat crop be-
tween this and the period for putting in the
reaper, we think we may safely look for big
crop of the favorite Michigan wheat.
Our exchanges in almost every direction
speak in enthusiastic terms of the bright pros
poets of the coming wheat crop. This is the
universal tenor of their remarks.
The Atlanta (Ga.) Ne10 Era says the news
from the country all around Atlanta, for a
hundred miles or more, as to the growing
wheat crop, is the most cheering. Not only
was there an unusual breadth sown but as far
as could be heard from all directions, the re-
ports are in the highest degree promising. If
no mischief befalIs it before the harvest, it
will exceed that of any former crop. 1t is es-
timated that ten million bushels of wheat will
be gathered from the counties on and contig-
uous to the Georgia State Railway.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1867-05-16

THE Kewaunee Enterprise says winter wheat
throughout the country never looked finer, or
gave promise at this season of the year, for
better crops than now; and as there has been
a much larger amount sown than usual, the
supply of winter wheat in the county will I'M
doubleday be large. A much larger quantity
of spring wheat than usual has also been soWn.
