The Chicago Tribune says: The State
Convention in Tennessee, held at Nash
vile, on the Goth inst, to nominate Re-
publican candidates for State officers, was
scene of intense confusion, utterly dis.
graceful to those who produced it. The
colored delegate who reminded the con
vention that, though his race was an imi-
tative one, there was no danger of the
blacks ever bringing themselves down to
that level, administered timely and fit
ting rebuke. This contest was oyer the
nomination for Governor About two
thirds Of the convention were in favor of
nominating Colonel Stokes, and the other
third wanted Acting Governor Senter.
All efforts to compromise were futile.
The Senter party of which the Brownlows
are members, adjourned sine die, without
any nomination, and then the other party
nominated Stokes. Senter also declares
his purpose to be candidate. This I'M
fortunate division, if not reconciled, will,
Of course, give the State to Andrew John

EDS. TRIBUNE:-s'The poisoned beans
having been an alarming topic in last
weeks papers, I desire throagh your
columns to explain the matter.
Housewives of German origin (per-
haps Others do the same) arc in the habit
of preserving beans. cucumbers, cabbage
and other vegetables for winter use.
Last fall | did this, and among others
had lot of beans preserved for family
use, from which not only my own family
ate during the winter, but occasionally
gave to my acquaintance, to wit: Mrs.
Ruedigel, Mrs. Hollander and others.
Unluckily for me I made a present of
some OF those beans to my neighbor Mrs.
LaCount, who with her sister ate great
quantities of the same without cooking,
and soon after drank some soda water.
AS matter OF course they soon fell sick,
and cried about poisoning. DIR. Simon
called and announced that such was the
case, and In consequence myself and fam
lily have been abused outrageously, after
having lived here for twenty years past
In responsibility. None of my very
numerous family, nor any of the
ladies' before named, ever felt any incon-
venlence after eating these beans but all
OF us cooked them and had them well
prepared for our meals.
Respectfully MARY CHLER.

out to arrest German by the name of
Joseph Miller and learning that he was
very refractory took two men with him as
assistants in case he should resist. Upon
arriving at the house the constable ex-
planned his GRAND, and notified 'sYoung
Miller, that he must go to Kewaunee
with him. T" This he refused to do, when
Fensel pulled him out of doors, and a
scufae ensued. While trying to secure
his prisoner with rope which he had,
the old man came out with two large dogs
which he set on Fensel's two assistants,
and then assaulted the constable with "a
pitchfork, compelling him to abandon his
prisoner. Securing an addition of three
men to his posse, the constable renewed
the attempt to make the arrest Young
Miller again refused to go and confronted
the ceIcers with an army f1usket, bayonet

THE LATE RLECTJON.

The Green Bay Advocate, id comment
ing on the election in this county. has
the following:
The Republicans elected eyery VII
lage officer but two, and Waldo. Rep.
was elected over Sibree, Dem. for
County Judge, by a majority Of 1875"
Now that the Advocate believed such
to be the true state of the case, we have
no doubt, for it would not tell such a
falsehood willfully. It IS excusable, we
think, for rot believing what it saw in
both papers, for it does seem, not only
almost, but entirely incredible that Mani
towoc County should give 223s MAORI
ty for a lifelong Republican, which w.
w. Waldois well known to have been.
This County with great regularity has
given from 700 to 1900 Democratic Ma.
jority and our exchanges all know it,
hence We arc not surprised that no paper
in the State outside Of this town, Repub
lican or Democratic, has dared to publish
correct statement of the case for fear
Of being sold. But gentlemen of the
press, the people of Manitowoc county
know enough to vote for the right man,
and be he Republican or Democrat we
hope they will do it every time they are
called on to vote for any one.
