had not power or skill to capture. He
dared even I . scale the walls Of our sane
tum. He defed the combined power Of
the Pen and the Sword. He stood boldly
before US. and read q couple of papers to
US. ia which the trio Of our names were
mingled in unpleasant proximity to those
OF "The State of Wisconsin, and Justice
SIBREE, and . Jew peddler whose name
we do not recollect. n tas -
We we're nad-we were frantic. The
General proudly pointed to his battle
scars, but was too full for utterance. JERE.
and ourself, in full reliance upen, our. Chns-
tian principles, our spotless innocence, and
our perfect safety from the effects Of any
judgment that might be obtained against
Us, talked boldly but went snbmissiveIy
with the Sheriff, to confront our accuser
face to face. We saw bin. We had seen
him before. Werecognized in his cursed
phiz-the Jew psad!er of Mishicott-the
same who had crossed our path in our
electioneering tour through that little ham
let into the wilds of Kewaunee, in search
of Republicans who had not been supplied
with Democratic ballots. 49, ,11
He was really that same dreadful villain
who had refused our just and lawful de.
mand that he show US his license. He re-
fused de6antly and Indignantly to vote the
Democratic ticket. d He refused to drink
glass of beer. He refused to treat. SHE
refused our prayers, refused our tears, de-
clining to submit until his own feelings
bribed him. b e.F -ia ua,rab lsa.L rg
Our souls revolted at the atrocity of his
crime. The internal revenue was being
swindled ), the State, the county and the
| town were being robbed OF their respective
per cent of the scoundrels pack. We or
ganized a court martial, and our verdict
was in accordance with the facts. The
General ordered the pack to be ceniscated
and conveyed to the express Office at DA
MONS, from thence to be conveyed with
out unnecessary delay to CAssIUs FAIR
CHILD, to be by him disposed Of according
| to law, and DAMON took charge of 1t, and
has it yet, unless the peddler has taken it
away. g,l..f -,....s.. -.
| And for this we hnve been sued Aye,
worse than that. The lying, perjured
wretch has sworn that we did violently
assault and beat him - and we are arrested
and to be tried for the offence We hope
we shall not be sent to JAIL we dislike to
change our headquarters too often. But
we. oare nothing about the judgment for
"$lOO or under" We hope the fellow s
lawyer will succeed in obtaining judg-
ment against US. His law practice has moi
been very lucrative latterly, and we are
glad to see that at last he is obtain
ing a highly respectable class Of clients.
And, when he gets bis Judgment, We hope
he will issue an execution and collect some
thing. We are all lawyers and editors, and
of course good. All such fellcrs are.
He can garnishee somebody that we owe.
We owe CHRIS. for glass of beer. He
will commence there if he is sharp, and hi
is, or he never would have sued US. lr
this way he will be able, at one lick, to col
lect his fee, and then JERE. will give him
his check for the balance Hiasf
But, seriously, we are sued, the whole
batch of US, and unless MARKHAM's Glen,
runs away, we shall be tried on
Thursday, April 9, A. D. 1868, for assault
and battery, before Mr., Justice SIBREE
Whatever may be the result Of the trial
our friends will receive the Plot regularly
Terms, 81 per aunuln, in advance.
