40 majority.

In 1852, when ''this cruel war was
raging, the 22nd Wisconsin Infantry, a
noble band Of patriots, every one Of
whom ought to have been a colonel-who
fought because they loved their country
and free institutions, was stationed in the
''strait Of Kentucky" not far from, the
plantation md mansion Of local mag
nate by the name OF Robertson-JEdge
Robertson This distinguished function
airy owned among his other chattels "a
dwarf negro boy worth, as times went,
perhaps couple hundred dollars The
10y was hired out to man who naltreat
ed him most barbarously and had threat
ened even worse abuse, to escape which,
the unluly ctattel took to the woods.
Here he spent two whole weeks, subsist-
ing on what wanuts he could pick up,
until heavy snow fell and cut off his
commisSary stores. Terrified at the
thought of going back to his brutal en-
ployer. and horeless of any protection
from his owner, the Judge. the poor
dwarf had but one recourse, which was to
escape to the camp Of Yankee troops that
he knew to be stationed near Barefoot
ed, through ten miles Of snow he strug
gled until at length. he breathed the free
ar cf loval camn-+hat Of the Twenty
Second VI isconsin Volunteers, command
ed by Col. William L. Utley. He was
OF course, cared for, and adopted by the
regiment.
| BY and by Judge Robertson learned
r. e l., Il.
scending on the camp, he pompousIy de
lnanded Of the colonel to return the slave
to his former condition. The colonel $
only reply was: There's the darkey.
down with the boys. If he wants to go
back, and they are willing you should
take him, I've nothing to say; but |
guess they won't let you have him. .
The irate Judge left in huff, applied to
some of Colonel Utley's superiors, who
were little softer on rebel slave owners
than the Colonel, and perhaps got some
relief. At least. the regiment was soon
aIterward captured, and no one knows
what became Of the dwarf

| Ihe sequel TO all this has just transplr-
ed, in shape that invests it with consd-
cradle interest A Milwaukee law firm
has notified the Colonel to make answer
10 the transcript of judgment, which
they have just received, issued by Ken
| lucky court in behalf OF this same Rob
ertson, OF slave-hunting notoriety. The
award OF this Kentucky court Is to the
amount of SOS, being indemnity for the
dwarf negro already described. As Ken
lucky courts go, it is probably no difficul1
matter 10 procure such Judgment il
them, and doubtless hundreds of Other
similar ones viii be procured against 9th
er Union officers. The only difficulty
with the doughty Kentucky claimants
will probably pe to get their execution
enforced in Wisconsin. We want to heal
from the Colonel en- the subject. .-Senti

"WHEN R0GUES FALL OUT, &C."


New York City is having a trying time
over the mayorality question. It is un-
doubtedly fiat take" several demo-
cratic mayors having made millions of
money out of it. In fact the different
candidates on the democratic ticket do
not hesitate to acknowledge that they are
''rascals'' but one claims that he will not
steal as much as his competitor. Fer
nando Wood, in speech accepting the
nomination accepts the role of ''tEle mag
nificent rascal with the white moustache, =
but asserts that while he was mayor he
respected the dignity of the Office.
Hoffman, he thinks, is not even honest at
intervals. He charges that within the
last ninety days the employees Of two
different departments Of the city govern
ment had taken from them the whole Of
two months salaries for an unknown. and
unexplained object. Should this giaring
wrong be doubted, l am prepared to
name the departments that have made
these exactions And note his sketch
of Tammany drawn on the spot: Gen
tlemen, John T. Hoffman is the repre-
sentative of lTammapy Hall. Tammany
Hall is a political institution, conceived
in fraud and maintained by corruption
| Cheers and cries Of That So 1t has
initiated a system of virtual disfanchise-
ment of the people of New York
Cries of That's so. 1t has refued
.he old way of committing frauds at eluc-
tions. What [ say here now I say upon
my own personal responsibility, and |
am personally responsible to any man
who may feel aggrieyed at what !. may
say. | charge that at the late election
the Tammany Hall organization import
ed thieves from Philadelphia to vote
their ticket; that these thieves were or
ganized in different wards Of the city, and
that bands Of them voted in more than
sixteen wards, and in more than one han
dred and twenty-five electoral districts
(Cheers.) More than that, it is known
that several of the inspectors Of election
after receiving the ballot from the voter,
substituted another ballot and deposited
it in the box. Kisses, aud cries Of
Shame And then finally, in the can
vassing itself, we have proof positive
that most base frauds were committed
against that honest old man, Judge Con
molly, the then candidate for Sheriff
Cloud cheers frauds at should consign
the perpetrators of them, their aiders
and ahcttnrs, 10 the State Prison for the
bs,;,nce of their natural lives" (Chcers.
So it is when rascality gets the upper
hand it becomes so outrageously selfish
that it goes against It's own flesh ana
blood and betrays secrets which leads to
its ultimate ruin.
