The Court Costume, which etiquette in
exorably demands, shall be worn at Royal
receptions, will in all probability, soon be
modified. The London STANDARD says it, sus-
poets the present style will not be endured
much longer. In claret-colored coat,
fowered waistcoat, black breeches and
white stockings, it is difficult for man to
look like gentleman at all, or like any
thing but footman in an inferior suit of
livery. The point to be considered is, if
the present fashion be abandoned, what is
to be the nature of the change? The STAN
dard thinks there would be no difficulty in
devising some respectable costume for
Court occasions tree from the objections to
the present rig. AS it is, large numbers of
gentlemen never go into the presence of
the sovereign because they have not the
courage to appear in the masquerade pre-
scribed for them, which is condemned on
every side as ugly, inconvenient, and full
of ignoble associations.

GOVERNOR EYRE, of Jamaica, who was
relieved from his post in consequence OF
his extreme severity in putting down the
threatened insurrection in that island, has
many iDjudicious advocates. Recently a
Mr.LAMoNT presented to the English Hous.
of Commons a petition, praying for the
early reinstatement of Governor EYRE,a and
at the same time asserted that the paper
had been signed by many high dignitaries,
and by thirty thousand other persons. An
inquiry into the truth of the assertion re-
vealed the fact that it had been greatly ex-
aggerated. Mr.. LAMONT was SUBJ
sequently interrogated in Parliament,
and asked why he had asserted that the
petition was signed by seventy-one peers.
when, in fact, it was only signed by three
peers; by six bishops, when it was only
signed by one, and that colonial bishop;
by twenty members of the House of Com
mons, when, in fact, it was only signed by
six; by forty ganerals, when, in fact, only
twenty signed it; by twenty-six admirals,
when only nine signed it; by four hundred
clergymen, when only one hundred and
seventy-one signed it; and by thirty thou.
sand other persons, when, in fact, it was
only signed by between ten Thousand and
eleven thousand such persons. This ex-
traordinary discrepancy was explained by
the statement that the petition was accom-
panied with brief analysis or summary
of the signers' names, and that the Clerk
of the Eyre Defense Fund had inserted
therein the names of the persons who had
subscribed sums, no matter how small, to
the Fund.

NAPOLEON 1. excited the sharpest censure
from his enemies in England, on account of
the system of wholesale plunder by which
the galleries of the Louvre were filled with
the works of art taken from the private
collections in Italy. There may be differ
ence in the principle involved when the
sufferer belongs to a semi-civilized nation;
at all events no comment is made in the
English papers upon the way in which
NAPIER's army stripped Masdala. A
writer upon this subject says: .sNot only
was every visible ornament of the Kings
person and throne snatched by plunder-
ing soldiery, but the chalices and censers
were taken from the church affairs; crosses
were torn away, to be exposed for sale in
order to swell the volume of prize money;
mule loads of books, manuscripts of course,
were carried off-all OF them objects of Pc
culiar reverence among the people to whose
history and religion they severally belong;
and pictures were seized and borne away,
with no more respect than if they were the
silver and golden cups that had just gone
after like fashion. The scene is described
as one of really barbaric spoliation."

The original maps of the British officers
locate the battlefield of Saratoga a mile
and half from the traditional place. This
change of location is measurably confirmed
by the fact that on the spot marked by the
map as headquarters of Gen. Burgoyne
appears remarkable collection of broken
bottles.

The assault, of the Jews upon General
GRANTS works is causing him good deal
of trouble. He does not attempt to defend

noise to deceive the enemy. .s.9 .
He gives grand display of spreadeagle

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1868-03-26

Secession is the one strong idea of
the Democracy. To separate the South
from the North was their FIRST grand idea;
of course it failed, for majority of the
people believe that this country can only
retain its greatness by remaining one Ma
ton, instead of two three or half dozen
small nationalities Now, however, they
commence their persistent attacks in an
other quarter. They propose to annihi-
late New England, and their curses
against that devoted locality would blast
and wither less strongly fortified land.
1t is true. they have tried this move be-
fore but were fanked and badly defeated
and their renewal of it now viii! probably
end in their total rout. Here is one lit
tie item which we select to show the ana
mus Of Democratic papers:
''All parties are growing weary of the
oppressive, selfish and senseless rapacity
Of the Eastern section, and the tiEle is
not far distant when the representative of
the West will be compelled to resent the
outrages and throw off the yoke of the
Puritan oligarchists. now so inflated with
their triumph over the South. ''-Colun,-
bus CO.. CRISIS.
"All parties" that is untrue to start
with! The Republican party do not be-
lieyc in secession. They fought it SIX
long years-are lighting it still, and we
give Copperhead papers which sympa-
thize so strongly with southern disunion-
lists due notice that it viii fight it six more
years if it is necessary to bring peace and
harmony to this land Not one foot of
our territory shall be cut off without
cutting through the vitals of million of
men!

dependent Candidate for Circuit Judge,
DAVID TAYLOR,
THE ELECTION OF CIRCUIT JUDGE.

At the ensuing spring election the
electors of the Fourth Judicial Circuit
will be called upon to vote for Judge.
1t must be apparent to all that an cleo
ton of this kind should not be mixed up
with politics. In order to prevent as
much as possible such result, our con-
stitution wisely prohibits the holding Of
judicial ele ction on the day Of the fall
elections or within thirty days thereof
This provision Is to keep politics as much
as possible from the canvass No one
doubts the correctness Of this important
provi ion in he con tuition. The voters
should select from among the different
candidates before the people, the one who
is best qualified for the important Office,
without regard to politics. In the Fourth
Judicial circuit, of which Manitowoc
County is a part, there are two candidates
before the peopIe-Judge David Taylor
and Campbell M'Lean The first is the
candidate of the people. He was called
out by the friends Of an independent judi
ciary without regard to party politics; he
was called out for the second time be-
cause he has made good judge, and was
thought to be the best qualified person for
the position in the circuit. The lawyers,
who are in position to form correct
opinions of the qualifications of Judge

election of Taylor. These are facts well
worthy of consideration on election day
by voters of the district. On the other
hand Campbell NJ Lean is the candidate
of democratic convention, composed of
eight delegates from Sheboygan AID Fond
du Lac counties. These eight men, eth
er on personal grounds or becarse they
are such intense partisans of the 'Brick
Pomeroy'' stripe, that they have to mix
up politics in everything they do, have
brought out one of Eldridge's students
and ask their political friends to support

ssl;rt4 that he Is an able jurist; they do
not CS:G:ifl tDdC ne has IlGu ldiSc ItSdl CA-
peraenoe !; they do not claim that he vii
make better Judge than Taylor, or even
as good, they do not claim that the dis
triet viii be eeae6ted by change but
all they do claims Jor Camp5eU II Lea'e rs
that he Is far ieaoyer' and Of ''con-
siderable rro1xsse" Such are the qualif-
cations of Judge Taylov's opponent The
friends of an Independent Judiciary, who
are in favor of electing a man to the of
flee of Circuit Judge who is in every way
qualified aad Nhe has had large amount
of judicial experience, will vote for David
Taylor. He is the best man for the posi-
ton. He is no party candidate. bat call
ed out by the people, and should receive

EXPLOSION AND BURNING OF THE
STEAMER MAGNOLIA.
One Hundred and Forty Persons on
B0ard--.Eighty Lives Lost.

Cincinnati O., March 19-~The steamer
Magnolia, which blew up and burned
yesterday, was built at this city in Oc-
tober, 1856, and was 200 feet in length,
| with thirty- three feet beam, and six feet
depth of hold She had three boilers,
each twenty four feet in length, and forty
| six inches in diameter, and also two en-
gines, twenty inches in diameter. and
six feet stroke She was owned by David
Gibson, and J. H. Prather, her command
er, O. E. SHAW, first clerk, and Mr..
Is. Gardner, who was aboard ut the time
of the disaster.
When she left this city she had over
one hundred cabin passengers, large
number being ladies'. large crew, and all
the fleight she could carry. The scene
at the time of the explosion was terrible
were thrown into the river, where they
lay scatterd here and there on the wreck
horribly mangled' scalded and burning
death.
After she had floated about mile and
half down the river, a large II, of loose
hay caught fire. which reached the maga-
zine. blowing up three kegs Of powder,
and causing second explosion to take
place. The boat immediately caught
fire and sunk in three minutes after the
last explosion,
The Magnolia's yawl was constantly
making trips between the wreck and
shore, and picked up all she could carry
There were also skifs from Californa
sent out, which assisted in rescuing many
| from watery grave. Several, after they
were taken into the skiffs, being so badly
burned and scalded, could not endure the
heat and jumped into the river and
were drowned.
! The first engineer states that he tried
the boilers a few minutes before the ex-
plosion took place, and found them to be
| full of water. He walked around to the
6remen, and was standing talking with
them when he was carried Of his feet.
| The tow boat Panther was busiy en-
gagged at the wreck in attending to the
| wants of the sufferers. a great many of
whom she brought to this city, and then
| immediately returned to the scene of the
disaster Part of the wheeEhouse ioated
past this city yesterday afternoon.
Another account says the explosion
occurred just as the first dinner table had
| been cleared and the second being prapar-
ed. Most of the male passengers who had
| taken dinner at the first table were stand
ing on the forward deck, and with them
considerable number OF ladies' All of
| these with but one or two exception, were
:]ost. Those on the after part of the boat
who were not rescued by skifs, were
either drowned or burnt to death

The La Crosse Democrat is IN danger

The La Crosse Democrat is in danger
of losing its prestige. Other organs of the
party, envious of its success, are equalling
if not surpl assing it in its own chosen
field of scurrilous and infamous utterances
Thus the Greensburg Herald, jealous
Democratic sheet in Indiana, speaking of
the proposition to entrust, the work of
reconstruction to Gen. Grant says:
''When that time does come (when it
passes the Senate tee sooner the earth IS
rid of him the better; there aciU be a job for
another Booth By the hair of st Michael,
we would rather see him in HI than
king over an inch of American soil: and it
is our opinion if His Equestrian Might
ness were to accept under the new recon-
struction law, he would be seeking home
in the above hot region before he would
the capital of his new kingdom.
Here also Is another extract which is at
least equal to the most elaborate efforts
of BRICK PoMERoY. 1t is from the Al
bion( Mich. Ki7yor, cherished organ of
the Democracy of that State:
"We are not disposed to be alarmed,
but what is the use of crying peace when
there is no peace :? The people must
tocsin must be sounded-and
if needs be bteo3 must again ttoao.- To an
American, what is nationality without lib
erty! Down with the usurpers Open the
ue,ns Of the bcsotted tyrants, Eimunds,
Drake, Sumner, Chandler, .Sterens,
Wade, and all who are engaged in this
foul conspiracy, and let their blood flow,
and that, too, freely, should they attempt
such consumma ton! IfPresident John
son will stand firmly by his Obligations to
defend and preserve the Constitution, the
mass Of the people will stand by him, and
if called upon-will rally to his defense
and support, even through rivers of blood!
The time has come when action must
take the place OF words If Mr. johnson
has the courage and will act, all will be
well. But if he proves himself to be-
recreant coward, then the end is not!

THE FUTURE.

What is in store for the Republican
party is of course hard to determine.
The Democrats assert with great vehe
mence that it has a location somewhere
IN in Salt River regions, but they have
lied on this point so many times hereto
fore that they can hardly be credited now.
We confess that the last fall elections
made things look little serious, but the
people had too much confidence and tried
to heat too many irons at one time. Ex-
perience teaches them that the old Slav-
cry evil must be fought with all the pow
er that can be brought to be.r. Through
out all ages freedom and granny have
struggled for the mastery, and though
the former has for the greater part tri-
umphed, still the latter is ever ready to
renew the engagement, simply because it
has everything to gain through victory
aud nothing to lose by defeat. Take the
case of the two contending parties In
1869. The Republicans were laboring to
make this a free country, the Democrat
were striving to keep it slave country
The former We're rapidly gaining ground
among the people who loved liberty, the
latter were losing; what was to be done ?
Only resort to arms could save democra-
cy, and if that could do no good it could
do them no harm as their supremacy was
already gone. The result of that conf1ic.
is well known. Slavery was cast down
and democracy is no better off than be-
fore
Now, however, the struggle is being
renewed with vigor. A different ground
is chosen-an effort is made to convince
the people that the party of freedom are
all in the wrong that although they
bravely fought in the cause of liberty and
union they are now wicked, and un-
worthy the confidence of the people.
But the effort Is abortive. The people
see inscribed on the Republican banner
equal rights for all and though in some
localities there are enough weak kneed
individuals who side with democracy and
thus defeat toe grand design, still the
great mass of our party believe that ev-
cry man has equal inalienable rights with
his neighbor and that no law should
stand in the way of his exercising those
rights. Cherishing such principles what
e!so can we look for other than the hna

triumph of Republicanism? For time
the people slept, but they are now ar

Slavery is swept from the land; until ha-
ted aristocracy is compelled to hide its
head In the dust and the humblest crea-
ture that calls America his home shall
have just as fair chance to exercise his
rights as the wealthiest nabob in the land.
This is the mission of the Republican
party, the people sanction it, and the fu-
ture is bright with promises of its speedy
mplishment.
