Judge Noggle INDICATED.

A few years ago the Hon David
Noggle was called ont by letter to be
a candidate for recollection as a Judge
in the Rock circuit. The Judges
prospects of an election looked fair,
and it was generally conceded that be
would be successful On the morn !
ing of the election, however. and too
late for refutation. there appeared at
most OF the polls in the circuit hands
bills signed by some fifteen or TWEEN
ty prominent residents OF Rock Co.
charging the judge with several Sc
rious moral and official offences. The
effect OF this was at about every poll
that the handful reached the Judge
was badly beaten, and, as conso
quenco General Lyon, the present
able and excellent Judge, was elected
At the few polls which the handblls
did not reach, Judge Noggie received
large majoaity OF The votes. After
the election Judge NoggIo brought
suit IN the United States circuit
Court forl the recovery Of the damages
"Aot"i'N" w hi0 dNiEat. against tHt
slgners of the handful. Last week.
sooner than go TO trial and justify, or
leave the damages to be assessed by
"a jury, the defendants settled by civ
ing Judge Noggio four thousand DOT
lars and paying their costs.
ibis Is AN admission OF the fasilv
OF The charges and yindication o, The
character OF Judge Noggle, OF hich
he and his many friends may well
feel proud. At the same time it
should be caution 10 citizens not
TO place their names 10 political hand
bills without first fully investigating
the accuracy OF their statements.
Judge NoggIg was one Of the early
pioneers of Wisconsin, and has been
man OF rank Tor a quarter Of cen
tury in the Rock River Valley. For
the past three years he has been out
OF politics. We understand that he
feels relieved from the cloud that he
deemed he was resting over him
lie Will come out from his retiracy
and will this fall be heard from il
behalf of Grant and Colfax and the
Republican, MLoaukee Sent.

speech at Philadelphia on Saturday
night, said: The men who rode to
Gettysburgh and broke the advancing
columns OF Lee, have right to live
where they please. They may take
their knapsack er their carpee-bag
with them. [Applause.l They shall
have a right to think their own
thoughts and speak their own senti-

so that they do not interfere with the
right of other people. (Applause.
If Wade Hampton don't like their
carpet-bag laughter, if South Caro-
lima is not large enough to hold Wade
Hampton and their carpet bag, then
Wade Hampton must get out Of
South Carolina. Immense applause.
If any body has got to leave any OF
the states, it must be the unrepentant
traitor. Applause

Gay Almost all the old fashioned

5D- Almost all the old fashioned
romances are based, directly or in
directly, upon the efforts Of villain
Gus people to secure other people :
fortunes by means Of murder, on inn
prisonment in lunatic asylums. The
fashion of incarceration individuals
of property, as lunatics, for the sake
of obtaining their lands and incomes
undoubtedly existed and was prac-
tised to great extent, in the olden
time. 1t seems to be-lke many
other old Misunderstanding Lat
terly we have had accounts of sever.
al daring plots in different parts of
the country to hide away and bury
alive rich people, on the plea tina.
they are of unsound intellect All
this could be effectually prevented
by compelling examinations OF per-
sons charged with lunacy to be made
public, after due notice having been
given, and by abolishing every con-
Germ that bears the slightest sem
blance of private asylum for per-
