Gov. Seymour in the Wilds of Wiscon-
sin"-What He Did for Wisconsin
Soldiers.
From the Milwaukee News.


Gen. Halbert Z. Paine and his friends
have evinced no disposition as yet to ex-
plain or extract the SANDER as to Gov. Sey-
mour position while in this State in 1861,
to which Paine gave currency In his late
speech at the Newhall House.
We don't intend that Paine or bis sup
porters shall be Ignorant OF the truth in
the matter, or that they shall escape On
opportunity for Ietraction or to assn me the
res possibility of purposely putting in circus
upon the Democratic candidate tor the
Presidency. The facts compel them to
adopt Que of the horns Of this uncomiort
able dilemma.
When Sumpter was fred upon Gov. Sey-
mour was not In this city at all, but at
Madison He then SAID to many members
of the Legislature tGat while be deprecated
the attitude which affairs had ASSUMED,
there was no alternative but to sustain the
President in his call for troops and the
Goverher in his demand upon the Legisla-
| ture tor means to TOR ward volunteers. "A
| caucus of the Democratic members OF the
Legislature was held and a special commit
tee appointed to counsel with Gov. Sey-
mour, and such was the counsel he urged
npon them with an impressive eloquence
| which will never be forgotten by those who
were present We have these facts from
the lips of gentleman who was there and
was familiar with all his views ON the sub
! ject OF the war.
| We have another fact, showing what
Gov. Seymour was doing in this State IN
the wilds OF Wisconsin ia 1861, aud prov
ing his title to the respsct and gratitude
of Wisconsin soldiers. While our State
quota was being filled under the FIRST call
Gov. Seymour was at Green Bay, partially
on business and partially tor the recovery
OF his health which was much Frustrated.
While there "tbe Oconto River Drivers,
. company of lumbermen aud one OF the
largest aud best companies that ever left
the State, reached Green Bay, aud found
that they were too late to be received under
the call. They were eager to 80 on, but
were without money to reach other locall-
ties where they were required. Learning
these facts Horatio Seymour, like the man
aud patriot be is, called the officers Of the
company mto one of the hotels, gaze them
the money to take the company on to Wash
inoton, and atterpards paid the bill for a
public dinner to the soldiers at the Beaumont
House, and thus from has oa0a priuate pock
ct enabled these Wisconsin, soldiers to .5Oin
their comrades in the defence Of the 9ouern
ment.
And this was the man-.he same mar
who afterwards commissioned fifteen thou
sand Union officers aud sent nearly half .
million soldiers to the 6eld-whose ''loy'
atty" while be was in Wisconsin is im
pugued by scape grace orators and editors
of the radical party.

An Answer.


1t is seldom that anything appears in the
columns of our imbecile neighbor, the
tribune, that we see fit to notice-but the
arguments this feeble thing is now using in
support of Mr.. SAwYER's re election to
Congress. calls for word in answer.
It is claimed that Manitowoc is indebted
to Mr.. SAWYER, and to him alone, for
what harbor improvements we now enjoy !;
and it is argued that if any further work is
required to be done on the harbor it can
only be done by returning Mr.. SAWYER to
Congress.
Now we are willing to give honor where
honor is due, and are unwilling to sec hons
ors forced upon those who have not earned
them; and we assert that if Mr.. SAWYER,
alone, has accomplished all that has been
done for Manitowoc harbor, then the peo-
pie of this village have been badly fooled,
and the thousand dollars paid Mr.. MARK
HAM for lobbying our appropriations thro'
the lower House SO much money thrown
away. And we say further that the credit
of what has been done for Manitowoc does
moi belong exclusively (if at all) to Mr..
SAWYER, but that Mr.. MARKHAM, as the
feed lobbyist of the village, is the man who
secured the appropriations which have
been voted for the improvement of our
harbor thus far, and that Mr.. SAWYER
from incapacity was and is entirely unfit to
carry any measure through the House ol
which he is now a member. We need not
tell the readers of the Pilot that want ot
education entirely precludes the possibility
of Mr. SAWYER framing any bill for the
action of Congress; neither need We tel
them that the same deficiency keeps hi.
mouth shut on the floor Of the House o.
Representatives, nor that the sound of hi:
voice has never been heard there in behalf
of Manitowoc harbor, or any other place il
his District or State That being the case
IL it not presumptuous to claim all the
honor and credit of what has been done fo
Mr.. SAWYER? But it is claimed further
that we must send Mr.. SAWYER back t.
Republicans are in the majority in Con
gress and will not give Democrats anything
This wcsay..is not true in fact. Bad and al
as the Republican rule in Washington is,
1t has been base enough to descend to
the Tribune's level, in witness whereof we
cite the haIbor of Sheboygan, represented
by CHAs. A. ELDRIDGE, perhaps the mos
obnoxious Democrat to Republicans il
Congress, who has, we believe, obtained
everything for Sheboygan that he has ask
ed. And we further cay that our harbo
now is a fixed fact, and whatever furthe
improvements it may require does not de
pend upon Mr. SAWYER, but upon th
Government engiueers-so that to th
friends Of Mr.. Villas we say that Mr. VI
LAS, if elected, (as we surely think h
ought to be) can do as much as the Hon
PHILEIUs can--the IriJune's statement t,
the contrary Notwithstanding.

Gov. Seymour tho Soldiers Friend.

AmoHg the charges brought against Gov
SEYMOUR by the Radicals, is one claiming
that he was the enemy of our soldiers. OF
course, there is no proof upon which to
base this slander, bat that will make no
difference with those whose business tits to
carry on campaign of defamation. In the
midst of war-whle many thousands of our
soldiers were away from their homes and
exposed to all the dangers of active cam
paigning, aud while there was distress aud
mourning among thousands of destitude
families left behind, Gov Seymour issued
the following thanksgiving proclamation:

Iu the midst of calamities brought upon
our country by the wickedness, folly aad
crimes of men, we have reason TO be thauk-
fui to the Almighty GoD for abundant
harvests, for exemption from pestilence,
and for the preservation Of our State from
the devastation of war which affects other
sections of our land. Let US offer tervent
prayers that REBELLION MAY BE
PU1 UOWN, our Union saved, our liber-
ties preserved, and our Constitution and
Government upheld. as q becoming prooJ
Of hankJulness to God, and as proper
evidence Of oar gratitude to army ana

tons on thdt dag. FOR TIE COMFORT
AND SUPPORT OF THE DESTlI UTE
FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO HAV /
LOST THEIR LIVES OR HAVE BE
COME DISABLED IN THE SERVICE
OF THEIR COUNTRY. In the midst Of
our abundance, let US remember charity tc
those who are in want, and IN the hour sci
apart for social and religious thanksgiving
and praise within the limit OF our state, lei
us ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO ARE

RETURNED. Mr.. Villas returned to his
home, the first part of this week, from a
brief visit to few of the counties compris-
ing this Congressional District. He was
warmly and enthusiastically received
wherever he went. At Oshkosh large
number Of the white boys in blue" under
the command of Col. BouCK, gave him a
hearty and warm reception aud had a torch
together large crowd of people. Mr.. VI
LAS on being called out addressed the as
semblage 1T some length and satisfied the
people of Oshkosh that the Democratic
party has given the people Of this District q
candidate for Congress to vote for who is
not "dumb dog" but one who has a good
English tongue in his head and knows how
to use It.
Mr.. Villas was also publicly received al
Green Bay where he also spoke and was re-
ceived with great favor. The Democracy
of the District are about and at work, and
everything indicates such a change in po
litical sentiment as will enable Manitowot
to boast a member Of our National Con
gress after next November. Let the peo
pie of Manitowoc county do their duty tC
Mr.. Villas by giving him 1900 majority
and his election is certain.
SCHOOL MATTERS will be remem
bered by the readers of the Plot that few
weeks ago action was taken by the BoarC
of Trustees Of the village of Manitowoc ant

with view OF dividing School District No
| of this town, and that an appeal was tax
en- from the action of tie said boards tt
the Superintendent of Public Instruction
Much interest has been manifested by th,
parties for and against the division, an(
the case has been elaborately presented tt
the Superintendent.
On Wednesday last decision was re
ceived from the Superintendent, setting as
side the proceedings of the said boards
leaving the district as it was-undivided
We do not propose to take any side on th'
merits of this question of division of tn
district, but we sincerely hope that all feel
ing may be laid aside, and that the best in
terests of the district alone may be consult
ed by all those interested. HENRY 81

appears he was sustained by the Superin
tendent.

A Day with the Printers.

The last number of the Peoples Mag
azine gives us a peep inside of some of
the London printing offices. The follow
ing extracts are of interest:
The headquarters of the printing trade
in London are at the west end of the
city. A square block between Holborn
on the north, and the Thames on the
south, and extending east and west from
Paternoster Row to Chancery Lane, con-
tains large proportion of all the print
ing offices in the metropolis; although
one Of the very largest, that of Messrs.
Cloves & Sons is one of the Surry side
of the water. But the old printing quar-
tier is an old-fashioned spot intersected
by one large thoroughfare, Fleet street
by numerous lanes, such as Fetter Lane
and Shoe Lane and by labyrinth of
alleys and courts.
A young author, passing through this
district at the " dinner hour" will soon
guess that he is not far from his printers.
An innumerable swarm of boys of all
ages, some in linen jackets, some in coats,
but all bearing unmistakable marks of
printers ink, crowd the thoroughfare.
The first quarter of an hour is devoted to
dinner, brought from home in paper,
and eaten al frisco; and then after des-
ert of apples or oranges-and in summer
pine-applcs, or even, in exceptional years,
grapes-from the long line of barrows
which arrive regularly to supply these
hungry mouths, succeed games, of leap
frog, cat, Whitney or cicket, according
to fashion or season. The police keep a
sharp lookout during this hour, in the
interest of order and the peaceable pas
ser-by, who welcomes as his best friend
the clock which strikes two. At this
sound the small fry disappear myste-
riously up little courts into low doors, OF
into more pretentious gateways, and all
peace again.
From this crowded locality issue most
of the daily papers. The Times forges
its thunderbolts in the retirement Of
Printing-housc square, while the Daily
Telegraph faces the rush and roar ot
Fleet street the daily News and Morn
ing Star live in Wllitefriars the Stand
ard and Morning Herald in Shoe Lane
In the queer little courts to the nortf
of Fleet Street, lurk printing Offices o
all sizes, from the room containing maj
and a boy, who, with few types and I
single hand-press, "execute all kinds o
printing with economy and despatch" t.
great establishments, each giving EN-
ployment to 500, 900 or even 800 per
sons. Messrs. Bradbury and Evan
reign in Whitefriars; her Majesty
printers and Messrs. Spottiswoode d Co
in the knot of " New streets, Great aDt
Little, where the houses built after tn
great fire of London have only been re
