This city has been quiet SINS the departure OF

Most Of the white United States troops are being
removed from the State, and one or more regi-
ments Of negro troops are being concentrated in
The State. This is seriously deprecated as an
unwise and hazardous arrangement.
The people have confidence in the white troops
because of their superior discipline and ca
pacity for control. We anticipate no trouble on
election day but from the misconduct OF BLACK
voters. The whites will not disturb them IN the
exercise of suffrage, nor will they provoke dis
cord, but they will not yield any just rights.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The Republican Press of this District
gives TO Mr.. WAsHBURN an earnest sup
port, We give few extracts from lead
ing papers outside of this district.
From the Wisconsin State Register1
The republicans of the 9th congress
ional district held their convention at La
Crosse. on Wednesday, and nominated
the present representative, Gen. G. G.
WAsHBURN, by almost unanimous vote,
few votes having been given for VIM
L. PRICE. Gen w. is one of the men
in Congress that can always be relied up
on for good serviceable work. He is
emphatically a representative of the peo-
pie, and always looks close after their in
tcrests. The republicans oil the district
intend to elect him by at least 5000 ma.
jority.
From the Wisconsin State Journal I
The Republican Convention for the
Sixth Congressional District in this State,
met at La Crosse yesterday, and renom-
mated Hon. G. G. WAsHBURS, as
candidate for Congress. This was ex-
pected, and the action of the Convention
doubtless expresses the wishes of large
majority of the Republicans of the dis
trict. Mr.. WAsHBURN's long expert
ence in Congress, his ability and general
sagacity as business man, secures for
him position of influence in Congress,
that is of great value to his people. He
represented the old second strict three
terms in Congress, and is now caudd
ate for a second term from the sixth dis
trict. His election by very large ma
jority is fixed fact" and the people of
his district are sure to be represented by
a true and sound man.
CFrom the Milwaukee Sentinel.]
We earnestly commend the action of
the convention in-. renomBating Gen.
Washburn. The principle of retaining
good representatives is approved by rea-
son and experience. The familiarity
with the duties of legislation which q
member acquires by service, AMI can &C
quire in no other way. is prerequisite to
efficiency and influence. Then, as to the
position of the member on the standing
committees. the term of service is of the
first importance-since appointments are
usually made on the principle Of promo
ton. In fact it was by thus retaining
representatives that the South secured
that performance of power in Congress
which il enjoyed for many years before
the rebellion. The Eastern states are not
unmindful of these considerations, and It
behooves the West to display like pru-
dence. The other principle, that of rota-
ton in Office, finds no justification except

- We take the following eloquent
extract from letter from bon EDEN.
This afternoon l have witnessed a
scene which makes me feel restless and
unhappy. A poor fellow here, labor
err in one of the mills. fell on an edging
saw, and was frightfuIly mangled. l
left his bedside few hours ago. | had
become somewhat familiar with him,
and although in the lower walks of life,
he is one of that rarely met class, who,
with rough exteriors are continually
showing the little thoughtful acts and
kindnesses of the gentleman.
And tonight, poor ToM WELLS lies
dying in agony. l have been setting and
watching, through the open window,
the still stars shining clear aud tranquil
in the soft, summer blue, mute, awful
witnesses of all the changes and chances,
the Lobes and fears, the silly cares and
vain troubles which have vexed this plan
ct of ours for centuries,--mute, unim-
passloned witnesses of all.
The Pickering night breeze whispers n
fittul rustic through the leaves, and the
sigh of the small waves, as they break
on the shore Of the almost tranquil lake,
is just family audible. And SO our
lives, Lutte, like the hot, restless hustle
of a summer day, fade out into the still,
dead calm of the night OF the grave. The
wild surging Of our hearts shall one day
die out into calm, like the ripple on the
lake-the sigh of our breath fade out,
like the night breeze through the trees.
To day our cares and anxieties are urg-
ing JUS on in the vortex of life, and the
morrow, as the heather Greek once
wrote-"The morrow--who knowsg'
We cannot all be great men, but after
all how humiliating is the idea. that so
very few of us can ever leave footprints
on the sands of Time" Especially is this
the case with newspaper editor. Tied

public to hear and tell some new thingi
the vulture which feeds on our vitals. In
rain or in sunshine, in sickness or health
in good spirits or bad, amid family sfflic-
tons or pleasures, the aching brain must
guide the weary fingers which trans
NIT our ideas, and our thanks are
bread and butter.
A hundred years from nova short space
in the cycle of ages,-we shall have
lapsed into the infinite unknown and our
record will be as lost as If it had never
been. But these things are. and there

A QUESTION.

| close my eyes. and once again
The old, old house and cedar tree,
With its solemn shade on the moonlit lawn,
Clear as vision comes back to me.
The red geraniums mourn for the sun,
Yet black they look in the moons full

The loose white roses over the porch
Smell family sweet in the summer night.
| go through the porch and through the hall,
And then pause at the pailor door;
Half open it stands, and the moonlight
streams
Through open windows on the floor.

One that | sung to her long ago.

- There is whole volume of poetry
in the following little sketch of 1.-The
Empty Cradle"
We met John on the stairs. He was
carrying an old cradle, to be slowed
away among what he termed "plnnder"
in lumber room. One rocker was gone
and the wicker work of the sides broken;
it was an old willow affair. but we could
rot refrain from casting sad look into
is empty depths.
'Gonep we said dreamingly, sAll
gomez What golden heads were once
pillowed here, heads on which the curls
grew moist in slumber, and the cheeks
and lips flushed 20 the hue of rose leaves
When the sleep broke, the silken fringed
lips opened heavily from the slumberous
ewes; smiles fitted like sunbeams over
the face; the white fist was thurst into
the mouth, and when mamma lifted the
muslin ard peeped 10 see if baby was
sleeping, cooling and growing were

The little feet began to kick, ont of
pure delight, and kicked on until both
of the tiny red shoes we're landed at the
foot Of the cradle. Where are those
hands now? Some that are embrowned
by vigorous manhood are sleeping on
battle fields, some are bleached with time
and cares; and they have grown sore and
weary on the rough paths of life.

Put his arm ryund her waist in loving way.

While the red river rolled forgotten away,
He whispered all that lover could say,
