"a Msstdke.-Mr. David Atwood, of the
Madison State Journal, and who delivered
the Annual Address before the Editorial
Association of this State at Sparta on the
18th ultimo, in speaking of the pioneer
conductors OF the press in this State, stat.
ed that
"of the whole number, it will be seen that
the names of e. ID. Robinson and W. C. Cra-
mer, with our own, are the only ones that have
aoated constantly at the head of newspaper,
IN the state for twenty years"
Thisis mistake. Our humble selfbecame
connected with the Wisconsin press in lS47
Just twenty years ago-we having started
the Washington County Democrat ia
this village in the month of july of that
year, and Jere Crowley now the indefati-
gable and able editor of the "Manitowoc
Pttot, worked off the first edition of that
paper tor us. The territory which is now
comprised Ia Washington and Ozaukee
counties then constituted only the county
Washington. The "Democrat' was the
first and only paper in all the region of
country north of Milwaukee save two
The Green Bay Advocate and the Sheboy-
gan Mercu'y. From that day until the
present our name has s'foated constantly
at the head OF newspaper" either in this
village or in our neighboring city of She
boygan. This is a fact pretty generally
known to most of the people who have re-
sided In the state for the past twenty years,
and 1t is somewhat singular that it should
nave escaped the attention Of Gen. At

trouble but the Conventions, somehow or
however, disagree with him, and generally
have their own way about the matter, not
withstanding the Majors dictation. The
following is SANS ticket for the fall cam

some of the names are worthy the consid-

The West Bend Post has changed its name
to that of West Bend Democrat, and has
been considerably enlarged and improved. It
is under the editorial management of Mr..
PAUL A. We'll, an able writer.
The Janesville Democrat, recently estab-
lished in JanesviIle, has also come TO hand,
and is also an ably edited Democratic sheet.
We welcome them, one and all, to our

which is due to those who seek to spread
before the world the everlasting truths of
the glorious democracy.

New ork papers Of Wednesday contain
dispatches from New Orleans of the I'd,
embracing further particulars as to Maxi
milian's death. We quote:
1.-THE trials of Maximilian, Mejia and
Miramon, were ended on the 14th ult., i,
and they were sentenced to be executed OF
the 10th.
Juarez suspended the execution for three
days, and they were shot on the 10Th, at
ii o'clock in the morning.
COlonelS were sentenced to SIX years i'm
prisonmcnt, lieutenant colonels to five
years, and the minor officers to two years
imprisonment
The brigadier generals and the cxcep-
tional officers are to be tried by court mar
tial.
The city Of Mexico was surrendered to
Diaz on the 3lst. Juarez sent him con-
gratulatory note with the directions for the
disposition of the prisoners, saying: 1.-The
native prisoners you will transfer to your
own command, or give them liberty accord
ing to the circumstances in which you find
them. The foreign prisoners you will re-
tain for the further disposition OF the gov
ernment."
Among the archives taken at the occu-
patton of Queretaro were some documents
relative to the last will of Macmillan,
wherein, in case of his death, Teodosco
Learez, Jose Maria Lecunza and Marquee,
are declared regents.
Escobedo writes from Queretaro: s'1
have by the execution of these dastardly
traitors, made terror the order of the day
everywhere | have imposed large ccntri-
buttons on the rich and confscated their
property and their all !; where | could not
do it in person my delegates have strictly
complied with my orders [ hope before
closing my military career, to see the
blood of every foreigner split that resides
in my country"
There is a report that Macmillan was
shot in the face, and the Mexican generals
were shot in the back as traitors.
Both the liberal and imperial papers of
Brownsville condemn the execution, and
the Ranchero tnewspaper) is In full mourn
ing.
Berrozabal, the governor of Matamoras,
had all the bells rung, and rockets were
fired on the recei pit of the news OF the exc.
cution. He also sent official information OF
the fact to general Reynolds.
There is no civilized land on the globe
in which the bloodthirsty conduct of the
Mexican bandits will not be pronounced
villainous and execrablc. And yet in our
own country, claiming much higher
state Of civilization than is accorded to
Mexico, sentiments Of remarka able similar
ity to those expressed by EscoBEDo find
utterance from the lips of men honored as
statesmen and applauded as christaian pat
riots.

Narrow Escape from Being Hanged on
Circumstantial Evidence.


4 letter, dated Stephensville, Texas, Nfav
81, gives the following:
This week three citizens of Limestone
county, accompanied by United States,
officer, came into this county in search Of,
freedman named Allen. formerly the slave
of Mr. W -,near Cotton Gin. They
found the negro, and happier meeting
seldom occurs. The circumstances, as far
as can learn them, are as follows: Impe-
diately upon the close of the war, Allen
left his old master for parts unknown.
There was bitter fcud between. W.
and some Of his friends on one side and q
number Of men on the other, growing out
of political questions. Shortly after Allen 8
disappearance, the body Of negro man..
which was supposed to be Aliens, and
bearing marks of having been murdered,
was found near Mr.. VS. plantation
This carcass was taken by the eDemiesAuf
Mr.. Wand kept till about two weeks
ago when Mr.. W and nine others were
arrested for numbering the aforesaid Allen.
They were brought before military CON-
mission the skeleton was produced and
identified as that of ALLEN, and witnessed
we're sworn who testified that Mr.. W
and his friends had murdered him. They
were all sentenced to be hanged within u
certain time, if they did not produce the
veritable living Allen. Knowing their in-
necence, they have searched unremittingly
ever since, and by what appears the mere.
accident they found him three days ago nc
Mr.. Perry's in this county, and still alive
and doing we'll. The lives of these mn
depended upon their success in the search,
and you can imagine their feelings when
they found Allen well and able to accom-
pany them back to Limestone county, To
prove their innocence.

Death Of Gen. Thomas Francis
Neagher.


With deep regret We announce that Gen.
THOMAS Francis MEAoHER, acting Goyera-
or of Montana Territory, was drowned in
the Missouri river by accidentally falling
from boat, near Fort Benton, on the eve
ming of the lst of July. THOMAS F. Me
AaHER has occupied prominant position
not only in the history of our country, but
in the history of Ireland. In lS4S, with
SMITH O'BRIEN, and others, he was i'm
plieated in the rebellion of Ireland against
England, and was banished his country
therefor. He was transported to Austral-
ia, and escaped thence to our country. He
took up his residence in New York, where
he rendered himself very popular by bis
agreeable personal address, and his warm
social temperament. He served gallantly
in the war, and was promoted to Briga-
der Generalship for his bravery. The fol-
lowing arc the facts concerning his unfor-
tunate death:
Virginia City, Montana, July 5.
Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher, Secretary
and Acting Governor of this Territory, &C
cidentally fell from the deck of the steamer
Thompson, at Fort Benton, on the evening
of the lst inst. and was drowned. He had
been absent for the past fortnight on pub
lie business, and had succeeded in procur-
ing arms for the troops engaged in the de-
fence of the Territory, and transacting other
military business demanded by our present
emergency. His death is greatly lamented,
and the public demonstration in honor OF
his distinguished character and services are
generally felt. Aulast accounts his remains
had not been found. The darkness of the
night and the rapidity of the current pre-
vented any rescue"
