INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 5.

The waters of the political pool
are beginning to be stirred by the ar
rival Of quite number of members
of both branches of the Legislature
and applicants for positions. The
Bates House last night gave evidence
of the gathering swarm of politicians,
aud tonight the number will be
greatly increased. The indications
now are that Judge GEORGE A. Bus
KIRK, of Bloomington. will be chosen
Speaker, but beyond that it is hard
to predict tie result Of the Republi-
can Caucus Of tomorrow night. Maj.
WILSON is again candidate for Sec
retary OF the Senate, aud will be likely
to be chosen, Notwithstanding OYLER,
a prominent member of the last SEN
ate, will be in the field. The candi-
dates for the subordinate places in
both Houses, are fully as numerous
as at previous sessions.
The Senatorial question will be the
absorbing one of the session until it
Is disposed Of, aud very little interest
'Fill be taken in legislation until that

znembers does not make much change
IL the situation from that indicated
by the press of the State for a few
weeks past. WILL CUMBAcK has
undoubtedly decidedly more strength
than any other one candidate, but
not enough to elect him on the first
ballot. All the other candidates or
their friends appear anxious to defeat
him, and if combination is practi-
cable, such may be the result; but
very much doubt it. IF he can go
into the caucus with thirty-fve or
forty votes. as his friends claim, il
will be very hard to prevent his elec-
tion. He is on the ground,
and is using his popular address
an6 clever accomplishments act
lively and with good effect, at least
IN strengthening the confidence OF
his adherents. Congressman ORTIZ
has rooms at the Bates House, and

A TALE OF HORROR,
Terrible Brutality OF q Man I'm Polk
County.
From the Hudson Star and Times.

From the Hudson Star and Times.
We have been furnished by III. G. Bak-
err, Esq, of this city, with the particulars
of one Of the most terrible stories of
brutality by man toward his family,
ever published. We have only space for
a brief mention of the painful particu-
lars.
The name of the brute is Hiram Fay.
lie formerly some eleven years ago, lived
in Lakeland, MINI :, but moved to Lin
coin, in Polk county, and now resides ia
tho woods come twelve miles from st.
Croix Falls.
His family consists of his wife and
four children, the eldest eleven. and the
youngest four years of age. For a long
series of years he has been practicinc tho
most unheard-of cralties upon his family.
He has whipped his wife hundreds OF
times with an OK whip, and beat her with
clubs. Her form bears numerous marks
of his unheard. of violence. 1t has been
his common practice to make his wife
kneel down at his feet, while he would
beat her over the head aud back with
large rod he kept Cor that purpose. If
she gave the slightest offence, no matter
how unintentional, be would whip her IN
the most brutal manner. He made her
work out doors, in the fields, for years,
logging, gathering brush, blowing
narrowing, driving oxen, etc. If she did
not work fast enough to suit him, he
would beat her in the most terrible man.
mel. He often knocked her down, aud
kicked her, on one occasion injuring her
skull so that itdid not get well for year,
and on another, kicking her. while in
case of pregnancy. and so injuring her
as to produce miscarriage. He has whip
ped her until she was almost dead, and
then would Tell her to come up and kiss
him, and when she tried to do SO, would
spit in her face.
We cannot detail half the unmention
able horrors of his conduct. He always
threatened to kill her aud her children,
if she exposed him. He would not allow
her to write to her friends, and so his
devilish behavior has been for years an
awful secret. At last, through a neigh
Dor, the martyred woman communicated
to her parents the facts of her treatment,
and few days ago they arrived here,
employed Mr.. Baker, had Fay arrested,
and the woman and her children released
from their fearful bondage.
1t was favorte practice of this inhu
man monster to punish his children by
holding their heads under water until
they became insensible. The facts we
have given are taken from the complaint
made by the woman and sworn to, She
has applied for a divorce, which will Of
course be granted, as soon as the forms
of law can be complied with. The
woman, although now broSen down by
her hardships, and spirits crushed, is in-
telligent, was well educated, good mu-
stefan, and fitted to adorn the best of
society. Although the terrible sufferings
Of the past can never be forgotten and
the effects of her treatment never oblit-
Grated, let us hope that the future will
bring to her and her little ones something
of the joys of happy life.

[From the st. Croix Republican,
State Senator.

The question of nomination of State
Senator for the 2sth Senate District, is
receiving attention.
Some ten years ago the county Of Pierce
controlled that Senatorship in the person
of G. B. Cox. Then followed the cleo
ton of Judge Humphrey, of st. Croix,
as Senator. After that came the election
of Senator A. H. Young, of Pierce
Then followed the nomination and cleo
ton of NJ. A. Fulton, of st. Croix, as
Senator, who in turn was succeeded by
Senator VIM. j. Copp, of Pierce. Dur
ing all this time no State Senator has
been selected from among the good and
true men of Ashland, Barron, Bayfield,,
Burnett, Douglas or Polk counties; and
we now submit that the increased vote
and fast growing population of those
neighboring counties are such that the
people of Pierce and ST. Croix can no
longer afford to do injustice to those To-
caities. 1t is certainly fair that one of
the three Assembly Districts, of the 26th
Senatorial District, should have the Sena-
tor one term in six, or two years out of
twelve years. A failure to carry this
out in unbroken faith, aud success in pre-
vent ing it may be considered cunning
and sharp practice in and about the llud-
son Court House and may be viewed as
a smart thing, and triumph; but hon.
est and decent friends of the local inter.
ests of st. Croix and Pierce will view it
as blind policy, and but temporary
triumph, destined to come back to plague
all concerned. We, therefore, remou
strate against this wire laying, and plead
in favor of DOING RIGHT. The interests
of the Republican party and OF st. Croix
Valley are safe in the hands of good
man from Polk county. 4 =
We, therefore. most heartily second the
choice of the Superior District, Samuel
S. Fifeld, of the Polk county Press,
who we under stand will be presented in
Convention for the office of Senator by
our Republican friends of that vicinity.
Commencing few years ago, poor
boy, single handed and alone. he has
worked his way up to an honorable and
prominent place among his fellow citi-
zens. Industry. perseverance, aud integ-
rity have been his, during the years he
has resided in the District. No news
paper has more faithfully stood by the
true interests Of this part of Wisconsin
than that which is edited with sound
ability and good taste by Mr.. Fiield.-
None can do us more good in the fruit
full future than his paper. No man is
more deserving at our hands. No man
will be moro faithful and untiriDg for
all our interests than he. Let us be
generous, just and discreet in the COM
ing canvass and make Sam. S. Fifeld
our next State Senator.

The decline in the wheat market takes
all by surprise. When one busbel OF
wheat will only buy two and half
pounds of cheese. the scale is out of bal
ancc in some way. A new system of

soon be adopted in this county. or these
here may as well abandon the place.
