THE KENOSHA TELEGRAPH
THURSDAY, APRIL IS, 1869

We give place this week to length
communication from Judge Petit, In re
lation to the Judicial Election in thi
county, for two or three reasons.
1st. There is much in his communica
toni relation to probate matters tha'
we think right that the citizens OF the
county should become acquainted WITH
that they may be properly prepared TO
take action in relation to them
3D. We think it proper that the Judge
should speak for himself to his republl-
can friends and others, and give hlsVleWs
of judicial elections in general, and the
late judicial election for County Judge
of Kenosha County in particular.
Sd. AS the Judge had feelings of
mingled surprise and irritation" on read
ing short article of ours in the last
TELEGRAPH, in speaking OF the election
of County Judge, two days after the
election, we thought it proper that he
should have ansopprtunity to speak for
himself. s@s~..-s-s1..-. :! ~ nasG=,
We have but few remarks to make of
the article itself There was nothing in
our article, properly understood, to occa-
sion him either surprise or irritation.
And that he misunderstood what we said
is very evident from the fact that in. re-
ferring to it in three different paragraphs
and quoting from it, he each time quotes
so as to misconstrue. our meaning. 10
get what we said fairly before our readers
we will quote all we said: Judge Petit
is advanced in years and in feeble health,
and was nominated by the Republicans as
we'll from sympathy as from his possess
ing the necessary qualifications. He paid
no attention to the canvass neither before
nor after his nomination., and from his
apparent Indifference, some republicans
thought he did not care about being
elected, and others felt hurt because he
did not manifest more soIicitude to OBJ
tain their active support. In no place
have we said that he was nominated from
sympathy Gas we'll from sympathy as
from his possessing the necessary qualifi-
cations" are our words. Now, if the
Judge is in feeble health, which he adj
mits, and has lost wife and children and
is lett alones where is the harm in having
SYMPATHY for him, or in other words
complying with the injunction "bear yes
one another's burdens?' j. 81.
Again, if he possesses the necessary
qualifications, surely his feeble health
would not disqualify him. Altogether
we feel that his feelings of surprise and
irritation were without good reason, and
that his criticisms on what we said are
entirely inapplicable.
AS to the advantages of o Judiciary
by appointment over one by election, we
cannot see it. The Judge has right to
his opinion and we have to onrs.

The NeXG Governor.

A good many names of candidates for
Governor have been brought forward, and
we are glad to say that most of them are
names Of men we could heartily support
for office But among all the proposed
candidates, and we might add, we think,
among all chat may be proposed, there
can be none who, for practical common
sense, thorough and enlightened statesman
ship, scholarship of a superior order
honesty and integrity that could not be
swerved, and high, gentlemanly deport-
ment aressuperior to ANTHONY VANWYCK
of Kenosha. We do not know that Sena-
tor Van Wyck wants the office, for our
acquaintance with him has not been suffi-
cient to entitle us to be classed among his
intimate friends. Since our acquaintance
year ago last winter, we have had no
communication with him whatever,
either direct or indirect; so that there can
be nothing, but what we deem to, be his
eminent fitness for the office, to induce us
to say what we have of him. He is a
man whose character and attachments
would exalt the office, rather than that
the office would exalt him. We hope we
may have the honor Of sustaining his
nomination.

The ReroI'ltidn strongly advocates the

Supreme Court Decisions.
THE TEXAS INDEMNITY BOND CASE.

THE TEXAS INDEMNITY BOND CASE.
"Chief Justice Chase rendered the de-
cision of the United States Supreme Court
in the case of the State of Texas against
George M. White, John Childs, John A
Hardinburg and others The original
suit was brought by the State of Texas to
restrain defendants from receiving pay
ment from the General Government for
certain five pei cent Texas indemnity
bonds of the United States, which plain
tiff claims as belonging to the State.
These bonds, it is alleged, were sold in
1865 and 1866 by the insurgent Legisla-
ture of Texas, and the reconstructed
government of the State seeks to prevent
the payment of the value of the bonds to
the holder deriving title through said in
surgent Legislature. Various interests
and collateral questions were raised relat-
ing to the jurisdiction of the Court. the
ability Of the plaintiff to sue, &c. The
opinion of the Court, which is very long
and able, concludes as follows:
Our conclusion is that the State of Tex
es is entitled to the relief sought by her
bill, and decree must be made accor-

holding that Texas is not State in point

1HE ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATION.-On last Mon
day the I. 0. 0. F. of this Basin, comprising the
Excelsior Lodge, No. A. of Centervile and the Idaho
Lodge No. l. of this city, duly celebrated the ami
versary of the ftieth year of the existence of the
Order in the United States The celebration took
place in town, and an interesting occasion it was.
The day dawned by no means propitiously in point
OF weather-cloudy, with high wind from the north
and portents OF storm. But before noontime the
sun shone forth, and although the strong winds con-
tlnuea all day, the temperature was but bracingly
cool and dry, and fear of storm was dispelled At2
o'clock, the members of the Order in full display
regalla, formed in procession on Wall street from
Masonic Hall to Montgomery street. and, under the
marshalship OF DR.. A j. Bunner and Mr.. II Taylor
and preceded by the Idaho Brass Band the marching
Dody, about seventy in ALL proceeded on the an
nounced line, through Montgomery, Harris, MAN,
Waula and Commercial streets, to the Court House
professional engagements prevented the presence of
Hon. +. f. Ensign, of Owyhee, who had been selected
to deliver the Oratiou and at late day the Commit
tee had requested DR.. \. j. Bunner to make an Ad-
dress. Although he had very brief preparation time
DR.. Bunner handsomely and satisfactorily fulfilled
tie duty thus devolved upon him. He gave an inter-
esting history of the origin and progress of the Or
der and of its excellent teachings and manifold bene
fits and the large audience composed of members of
the l. 0. o.. F., with goodly attendance of ladies'
and crowd OF citizens, gave good token of their APP
PROBATION OF the Address by the profound attention
with which they listened to it. After the delivery of
the Address, the line OF procession again formed,
they marched to Masonic Hail. and there in the hall
of Idaho Lodge, closed the exercises of the day

NEW KIND OF BOGUS DUsT.-We have been told of
kind of bogus or base gold dust which has been
recently detected in this CITY, One of our business
men, who daily receives good deal of dust from va
rious sources from Cinnamon well as white men,
has been vetimized-not very seriously, however,
by this new stuff and from him we obtain informa-
ton of it's character, well it be described.
Cold acid will not affect it, but when put in boiling
acid, after minutes there will bubble up thick
scum, the color of blood, as thick as molasses. On
the sides of the cup red hard scurf address, which,
when burned in furnace, can be reduced to pow
der, and yields small per centum of gold The loss
on the dust which contained this new kind of base
stuff averaged about eight per cent. and the dust
among which it was finally discovered bore the ap-
pearance of nearly first-class Boise dust.
