A SUsPIO1oUs-GAsR

On, the 18th Of this, month "a Mrs
Willhelmina Stanwiek Of Mishicott, in
the neighborhood Of Two ls:iyser,s,,s , appear
ed before the District attorney and, made
complaint that her husband, Mr.. Edward
StanTick, did, on the 18th Of December
last commit q rape on the person of Anna
Rosa Scheier-a girl something over ten
years of age, and the step,daughter of
the said Edward Stanwick-in the town
of Mishicott. The case came before Jus
tice Zinns, on the 18th inst, the defend
ant plead not guilty, but the testimony
was SO direct against him that he was
bound over in the sum of 81 900, to APP
pear at the next term of the Circuit
Court, and in default was sent tc jail by
the Justice. So far everything seems to
have been done that justice required,
but now comes the suspicious part of the
whole affair. The Attorney for the de-
fence applies to the County Judge for a
writ ofhobeas co,pus onthe grounds that
theCourt had nojurisdiction. and that the
papers were informal The first court
did not stand, as the Justice is fully com-
petent to examine such cases, and it was
so held, but the informaiity in the papers
was such that the: Judge granted the
writ, the man was released and it is re-
ported has left the country. Now we
would like to ask our District Attorney
whose fault it is that this man, charged
with such Relish crime, is permitted to
escape SO lightly? Why should he, if
guilty, be permitted to visit other locali-
ties where he can boldly practice his ras-
cality (for we understand he is a man of
very bad reputation on an unsuspecting
people? Why is it, if the papers were
insufficient to hold the man that others
were not made out that would hold him?
We claim no knowledge of the law, but
common sense would seem to indicate that
this man should have been tried for the
crime he was charged with, and if guilty,
punished. It will never, never answer
to let such serious charges as this go with
out an investigation. Very soon no man
or woman will be safe for a moment. -
We look for light on the subject.

THE VILLAGE CHARTER.

The Village Board have lately, by a
unanimous vote amended the charter and
sent ton to Madison where it passed the
Legislature. We stated the substance of
the principal amendments short time
ago and hope ere long to publish the
whole charter. This course of the Board
it was supposed was satisfactory to all
our citizens as some fault was found with
the charter as it was At all events no
fault was found with the Board when it
was announced that a committee had
been appointed to amend Nor were any
suggestions of Importance handed in to
the committee. They performed their
work and sent it off to be finished. But
of late there have been murmurs, and
some, who are nothing unless they are
fault finders, have been trying TO create
dissatisfaction. That it has probably
assumed some definite shape We are led
to believe from the following telegram
received on the 22d inst.
To Charles Lulisg-The amended
charter has passed as presented to me by
MIR. Baetz, but | shall have law passed
to su bmlt amendments to vote Of the
| people at an election to be held on the
Both of March next.
(Signed) GEO. REED.
| Ii 1t is thought necessary to go to all
this trouble, why by all means let us
have the law and the election, though at
present we do not believe there are a
dozen men in the place who are dissatis-
! fed. We shall probably refer to this
subject more at length when more light
| is had; at present we are in favor OF
anything conducive to the welfare of the
community.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
Grand Parade or Military, Firemen
and Citizens.

General George Washington was great
and good man. To the latest day of our
history will his name be handed down
from generation to generation yet unborn
as the one whom above all others it was
fitting to select as the Father of his
Country. Loving his country better
than his own life he braved all dangers,
fought all foes who dared set. foot on our
soil, and finally when the struggle was
over he ruled the nation so wisely that he
won the good will of all classes, and it
was truly said he was First in war, first
in peace and first in the hearts Of his
countymen.'
That sucha man should be remembered,
that his deeds should be heralded through
the land is but just and proper. The
laws of the land makes his birthday a
national holiday and every good citizen,
every man who desires to see the true
and the noble fostered should lend his in
fuence to make the 22d of February a
holiday in the truest sense of the term
That our citizens did net wish to be en-
tirely behind other localities in this re-
spect we are very happy to record. A
parade was arranged which presented a
very pleasing appearance and attracted a
large concourse of citizens to witness the
display and listen to the music. The fol-
lowing was the order Of the procession :
First, the Manitowoc Brass Band and
the Military company in full dress, with
bayonets fixed. Second, the Manitowoc
Cornet Band, drawn by four horses
Third, Badger Engine Co. No, 1. Fourth,
Torrent Engine Co. No., g Fifth,
Hook & Ladder Co., and Bucket Co. Ali
the fremen being in full uniform. Sixth,
citizens in cutters and sleighs. The line
of march lay through all the principal
streets and and lasted nearly two hours.
1t was well arranged and successfully car
ried out. The Band, which appeared on
our streets on this occasion for the first
time, performed wonderfully we'll con-
sldering the time they have been practic
