AT the end of his first year the edit
or Of the Fort Atkinson Herald in an
article to his patrons says: in the future
as In the past. we shall endeavor to abide
by our best convictions of right and
justice to practice, as near as possible,
the golden rule to MAINTAIN an lndepen-
dence sufficient for selfrcspect; and
above all to live without groveling in the
dust for the patronage of those who are
DISPOSED to demand that we should beg
and cringe for their support. AS a
grovellest we are not success. We CON
consider that we give the full value
received in all our business transactions
and they who do not wish to deal with
US on equal ground are at perfect liberty
to bestow their tauors upon whomsoever
will eat dirt to their entire satisfaction. !"
just as well as we could have said it
ourselves. Some seem to think the news
paper business is sort of contribution
box, and when they pay anything for
its support they make donation of
just SO much to the publisher. They
forget that nothing tends to civilize the
people to so great an extent as good
newspaper and only by the most
a-duous and exhaustive labors can a
good newspaper be produced.

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Election is over and it is now GER
tain that we have a majority in the State
Legislature Our party will therefore
have the choosing of Senator in place
of the recreant Doohttle We have re-
Trained from expressing an opinion on
this subject for the reason that almost
every other paper N the state was tuning
its bugle to this one key. But we wish
to go on record in favor eff certain prin-
ciples and hence we pen this article.
Ii has been the policy of parties, since
parties first had sway toreward men who
go from one side to the other with the
very best positions, for their readiness
in changing their coats. We do not
claim that one party has INDUCED in this
action more than another-thousands of
instances can be mentioned where it has
been done in each, and in nearly every
case it has done injury to the party doing
it. Jas r. Doolittle left the democratic
party to be made U. S. Senator. That

bought him until he found others he
thought would pay better and he turned
again. Frank p. Blair was stern ad-
herent of one party, but thinking he
could do better elsewhere he seeded !;
but secession does not set well on the
peoples spmachs nowadays and they
so,u.ed on him. Evidently people begin
to think that man tried and true is the
safest one upon whom to confer a public
trust.
We can name several men who would
do honor to our State in the Senate of the
Nation-men who have been set aside
time and again for others far less worthy,
not because they have not always served
the cause faithfully, but because some
other man with more brass and perslsten-
cy would crowd in ahead of TT fem. Now

Earthqake in California.

The severest earthquake ever known
on the Pacific coast, occurred early on the
morning of the 2lst of October. The
shock at San Francisco was severe. In
the business portion of the city, the side
walks were covered with piles of brick
and plaster, buildings cracked from cellar
to roof; splendid plate glass windows
shivered into thousand pieces, and some
houses in course of construction were lev
eled to the earth. A few people were kill
ed or wounded by the falling walls, Others
were injured by their frantic efforts to get
out of the buildings, During the entire
week shocks were felt, but none so vio-
lent as sen the first day. The losses,
although great, are not as extensive as at
first supposed There were great many
buildings injured, but they were mostly
those that were defective in construction,
or built on made ground strongly built
houses were not materially Injured. The
printing Offices suffered severely. the
types and forms were scatterd about,
and no little trouble was expcrienc-
ed to work off the newspapers.
owing to the above fact, and the fears of
the men to enter the buildings The
shocks OF 1865 were perpendicular in
oscillation, while these recent ones were
horizontal The effects Of the two were
quite quite different. In 1865 glass was
broken and shivered to atoms, while com
paratively few walls were shaken down
or badly shaken down or badly injured
The late shocks, however broke very
little glass, but shook of corncies, plast-
arings. &c. 1t is not i'm probable that
earthquakes may occur at any moment
in the neighborhood of San Francisco.
There are volcanoes north. south, and
east and although not in the immediate
vicinity of the city, still it is in great cen
tire of volcanic range, and subject to
It's influence.

The Verdict of Wisconsin.

The result may be annouced briefly.
First 200 majority for Grant and
Colf,x
Second five of the six members of
Congress. Paine, Hopkins, Cobb, Saw
yer and Washburn are republicans; ami
Eldridge democrat; the same division
as in "a and 66
Third, the gain of United States
Senator in the place of the renegade
James r. Doolittle The Senate will
at least have Republican majority
and the House 25. Last year there was
4 republican majority in the Senate, and
rs in the Assembly.
Fourth, the people of Wisconsin have
decided that reconsti uction based upon
justice humanity and equality shall
stand
Fifth, reputation Of the National
debt in any form, has been voted down
after the basest and most persistent ap-
peals to the greed of avaricc and the
toulest lusts that copperhead can stil
up IN the hearts of men.
The verdict will add largely to the
good nan:e which Wisconsin has acquired
among her sister states. and will send a

GRANTS CABINET. We see by our ex
changes that regular speculations Of the
Office seekers in respect to the compost
ton of the next cabinet are commenced
and will doubtless be kept up until the
matter is decided We do not believe
there is one of them that can give even
a respectable guess as to who will ill the
important offices within the gift of the
incoming president. But Of Ne.. thing,
every reasonable minded man sallay- rest
assured These offices will befl1ed with
as good and true men as there are in the
nation, and will be selected without any
reference to tugling, wire pulling or pin
setting. Gen Grant is not the man to be
tampered with, and the politicians will
find it out. The people can trust him as
well in civil as in military capacity

REMARKABLE CoNDUCT OF A HORSE

REMARKABLE CONDUCT OF a HORSE.
"A recent French paper records an extra
ordinary punishment inflicted by horse
on its master, for an att OF brutality by
the latter towards one of the animal sta
bic companions. A carrier, named B., at
no time tender In his treatment OF his
fOur-footed servants, returned one night
In Il state Of semi-intoXcatlon from Moa-
mant to Giyors. The man S natural bar
barlty was at this time aggravated by the
drink he had TAKEN and being dissatisfied
with the efforts one of the horses-a poor
hack which had almost served its time
he decided that the animal was no
longer worth his feed, aud resolved to
put an end to it. For that purpose, he
tied the brute to a tree and taking a
massive lever used in moving goods, he
struck the animal several blows on the
head, until the unfortunate beast sank
| to the ground insensible.
The master, thinking the animal was
dead left it on the spot, intending to re-
move the body next day. The horse
however recovered his senses a short
time after, found its way home and
entered the court at day break. Its
arrival was welcomed by the nei Ching of
! his companions in the stable which
noise awakened the master, who was now
furious at having failed in his cruel pur-
! pose. He tied up the animal atresh and
! commenced again to shower blows on its
head This act of bru. ality was commit
ted in the sight of two other horses IL
the stable. At length one of them &
young animal became SO frantic with
rage he broke his halter and rushing on
the man seized him in his jaws and after
shaking him violently, threw MIN VIII

brought help to his aid, the maste,
