article upon the election of US. Sen,
ator, thus speaks of one of Wiscon-
sins faithful and true men:
"Mr. Rublee, who received hand
some vote, can hardly be said to have
been candidate, by any act or per-
sonal effort on his part. The vote he
received was entirely spontaneous it
was through no solicitation of his, or
of his friends acting under his ad.
visement. The good services be has
rendered the republican cause, in
past years, will not be forgotten.

girl, working in the Mint on Chest

the time she milled coin she was the
leading Radical mind Of the nation

of enthusiasm, wrestling it from the
Democratic party-had carried Coop
er Institute by storm, and, introdn~
ced by Vice President Hamlin, had
pleaded the cause of her country
against the general of It's chosen ar
my before the Presidents and Sena>
tors of the nation and an assemblage
OF its picked men. Nor was this
brilliant debut merely q spirit or
spasm. Every year since Miss Dick
inson has lectured regularly in all
the large cities of the North to audi
ences that never flag or diminish.
Her words are not warm and lows
ing you never hear the winning,
pleading ones of Wendell Phillips
you never listen to the music or feel

power which enchains the audience
is Of will and intellect.

Mistake Corrected.

FRIEND COVER Il notice that the
Herald of the End inst. states that
mem bers of the Legislature have
voted themselves S25 90 worth of
postage stamps. $4,000 worth of
stationery and $4,000 worth of news
papers each"
Now, with oil due respect for y our
reporter, allow me to correct that
statement. According to law enact
ed in 1861 each member of the Legis
lature is entitled to $1,000 worth of
newspapers, and by law enacted in
1865 he is entitled to $50 90 worth of
stationery, and the present Legisla
ture has enacted law allowing each
member of this and sl future Legis-
latures $500 worth of postage
stamps. The vote in the Assembly
on the postage stamp b II stood "a
for. to al against said bill. So you
see the bill met with strong opposi-
ton.
The Herald also states that "The
members from Grant County voted
some of them against these appropri-
atoms, some for part only"-this too,
is mistake. All the members from
Grant il the Assembly and the mem
bers in the Senate voted no on The
postage stamp bill, as you will see by
the J urnal send you. And we not
only voted no, but did all we could
10 defeat it. Truly Yours,

THE McARDLE CAsE.-The Chicago

lHE VI CARDLE CAsE.-I ne CnlcagO
Times, Washington special says:
The we'll known McArdle case
will be argued in the United States
Supreme Court about the middle OF
February. 1t had been previously
fixed for February 9Th, but Judge
Black, counsel for the plaintiff, con
sented to a postponement, to accom-
MEDIATE Matt. Carpenter, who IS
counsel for the government. The
question to be argued is whether the
law, passed by Congress last year,
taking away the appellate jurisdic-
ton from the Supreme, Court, is OPP
erative i'll this case, which was pend
ing in this court at the time the law
was passed. The McArdle case, it
will be remembered, comes up ec
parte from the lower courts in Missis
sippi, where be, as Vicksburg edi>
tor, was imprisoned by General Ord,
by virtue of the military power cons
ferred by the reconstruction acts. II
the Supreme Court decides that the
act of Congress is retroactive and I'M
constitutional, az applied TO case al
ready pending, then the court will
have an opportunity to pronounce on
the validity Of military reconstruct
tion.

A FA0T.-It is doubted by some
whether man always knows what
he thinks, but this one thing is we'll
known, that every ind .strious work
ing man has to support at least some
one wholly or in great part who is u
pauper or vagabond. Down south
there are whole sections of country
where every negro who was raised
to work, and therefore prefers work
to idleness, must support besi des his
own family st least one able bodied
white men and his family. Such
fact is undeniable, because of the un
questioned record that half the peo-
pie ,s,are white and such do not work,
while the other half are black and do
work. And admitting that labor
must support everybody, it follows
that those who do not work are sup
ported by tn Sc who do work-the
latter being the blacks.
In the north there are supports not
SO directly dependent upon labor,
but still all the substantials which
support life, as bread, meat, and
clothing, must be made by labor. And
the two-thirds of northern people,
designated as producers or laborers,
support but third-the latter those
who, however rich or poor and nc
difference which, are virtual paupers
in not producing and yet consumin z
largely. And the fact that wealth is
used in productive way affects
not the fact above stated, unless
the proprietor is himself a work
ing producer. So says Dir. Elder. the
wise economist.

BRIGHTER HOURS.

Though dark the present hour may seem,
With sorrow, care and strife;
Though gladness may not shed her beam,
Upon the sky of life:
Yet fear not, for amidst the gloom
One hope is ever ours
That joy may yet our lot illume,
And bring us brighter hours.
Droop not, but nobly struggle still,
For others look to thee;
And they would cease to strive with 1t,
II thou shouldst conquered be.
In darkest night some star appears,-
In Winters hand, some flowers;
SO shines for us, in adverse years,
The hope of brighter hours!
With fearless spirit still press on
Act thine allotted part!
LIES high rewards were never won
BY faint and coward heart!
Keep on thy course, and falter not,
Though the dread tempest lowers,
But still, however sad thy lot,
Hope on for brighter hours.

PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.

From the n. y. Times
In face of their protestations of economy, the
Assembly has just voted to buy short canal
somewhere in Chemung county, and to pay
half million Of dollars for it, while every bod y
comedies that 1t is not worth five cents. 1t
was zealously supported by that veteran re-
former and model legislator, Father Truman,
and was opposed, among others, by Mr..
Husted, OF Westchester, who, according to the
Tribune reporter, "fOught it bitterly" The
same authority adds
''rhe latter gentleman remarked that whenever a
g nlg IOD voting money out of the Treasury came up,
the Democrats soidly voted for it, and then threw

Not day passes, the writer might have

ftiepdlv TO the United States. Our laws
would then, not less than now, compel the
President to prevent our citizens from fitting
ont expeditions to aid either side. Oar reoog- I
milton would aid Cuba, only as an expression
Of our deliberate judgment that she had be-
come strong enough to maintain her inde-
pendenoe by her own resources. Such judg-
ment will be the mere acknowledgment OF a
fact, and the fact must exist before II can be
recognized.
The folly Of Spain may, however, make us
a party to this struggle. IL Spain commits
outraees upon our citizens, our Government
will be- compelled to resent and punish them.
Next to the immediate reception OF their
minister, the thing which the Cubans have
most set their hearts upon Is the Intervention
of our Government to punish injuries to our
citizens. Their hopes on this score are not
without some foundation. IL is well known
that Secretary Fish, when he saw the late
decree of the Captain. General of Cuba, in
| formed the Spanish Minister that any attempt
| to apply such doctrines to American citizens
would lead to grave complications diplo-
matte form of threat which the Spanish Minis
ter could be at no loss to understand.
Forthwith fleet was ordered to the Gulf to
| protect our people from the rude hand OF
| Spanish passion. In one sense, this prompt
| preventive action OF Mr.. Fish is adverse to
the hopes of the Cubans; for II the spirited
action of our Government should teach the
| Captain General some sense and discretion, it
may prevent that war between the United
States and Spain which the Cubans 80 eagerly
wish as assuring their Independence. But II
Spain disregards the warning-if she outrages
our people, and refuses immediate reparation
their wrongs must be speedily avenged.
II will be seen, therefore, that very impor-
tant events are suspended on the discretion Of
government which has thus far shown no
discretion. month or even a week may
precipitate matters into such q condition as
may suddenly snap the last remaining tie be-
tween Spain and the New World-a world
which was discovered under her auspices, and
of which she formerly possessed the greater
part. In circumstances so critical and inter
esting, nothing can be clearer than the duty
of our Government to bear itself with such
prudence and confluence that II we are
forced into quarrel with Spain-which, once
begun, will make the whole world reseund
with its consequences-we may stand vindi-
Gated by just and enlightened public opinion.

RECIPRoCIrY WIrH HAWAII.

From the ~ y. Tribune.
We are informed that the American plan
tsre and merchants of the Sandwich Islands,
who are large majority of the foreign popu-
latioD, desire annexation to the United States,
and are ready to accept the burdens along
with the privileges OF such union; but they
cannot just now realize this wish, because
they are living under a constitutional king,
the independence OF whose Government Is
euarane eed by great powers; therefore they
propose aud urge the next thiDg-a stepping
stone to exation- reciprocity. They want
TO sell to us free of duty all their sugars and
other products, and buy Of US all their i'm
ports, so that we and they shall trade to-
gether like people OF one land. This will
Americanize- the islands, and a thorough
Americanization of the islands will
secure our interests in the Pacific, so that we
need not be in haste about the question OF an
nexation. England is not backward to Augli-
oize where her people get foothold; and 1t is
asserted by welLinformed American residents
of the islands that il we do not now take steps
to Americnnize them, England will Anglicize
them. She has sent there bishop and an
influential clergy; and an Australian line OF
steamships is to touch at Honolulu, that will
accommodate sugars to reach distant market
and bring back Australian emigrants. In
view of these statements, and II 1t be, as
asserted, that we shalt gain more in internal
revenue than we shall lose on imports by this
measure of reciprocity, the subject is deserv-
ing Of the most careful consideration on the
part of the American Senate.
