Too YOUNG A DEMocRAT.-We have
heard democrats object to Mr.. SIBREE be-
cause he has not been long enough in our
party to entitle him to their support for
Office. This question of the propriety of
electing him has been decided by the en-
phatic vote of democratic convention, and
individual opinion ought not to be permit.
ted to control the action of democrats
against that decision, rs that cannot be
done without enda ngeripg the success Of the
party in the future.
Democrats ought to 60 to work and re-
cruit for the democratic ranks and not
those of their opponents as, has been too
long the fashion in our State.
Randall, Doolittlc, Carpenter, Fairchild.
Lewis, Solomon, Dixon, and a majority of
the state fiocers and senators and assem-
blymen of the republican persuasion since
the domination of that party in the State
we're taken from the democratic ranks and
paid for their detection with Offices ; these
men will all come back to first principles
when they can no longer be fed with
the crumbs of Office or the hope of them
in the republican patty. Those men got
what they sought, though they sacrificed
their principles to do it, but We have dem
ocrats in this county going for republican
candidates for the best Offices because they
themselves or some of their friends were
not nominated to the same ofices-thcreby
running their own party and doing them>
selves no good, or. in other words cutting
of their own noses to spite some of their
neighbors" IF these democrats choose
to vote against SIBREE, man admitted
by every one to be we'll fitted for the Office
of County Judge, and for WALDO, who is
incompetent to faithful and proper dis
charge of the duties Of that Office, on the
ridiculous plea that the former is not an
old line democrat, they must do 50, and
we cannot help it, though we would if We
could frs, because We would like to
have them always remaining in the future,
consistent democrats. looking to promote
the highest good of the people; and Sec
oud, because we want the people to have .
competent and worthy County Judge.

are to manage their own public affairs. and

term thereof, choose. If the people run
wild and make mistakes as they have done
during the past ten or more years and elect
republicans to I'll these Offices, it is their
own misfortune but the sad results Of the
past need not be repeated in the future it

duty and stand by the principles of their
party, and cease to follow the lead of am.

cannot rule the party, We will ruin it. F"
Democrats will ever have their differences
in their selection of mon 10 gil Offices, but
if they would bury these differences when
their conventions have made nominations, all
will come out right in the eud. 1t has

ranks of their political opponents end give

WELCOME HoME.-We were glad to see
on the street again the other day, Mr..
ENERr, junior editor of the Tribune, look
ing as we'll and smiling as ever, after .
brief uip to the "Sunay South" and the
Land Of Flowers" Mr.. ENERr while
absent wrote for his paper some very pleas
ant and readable letters, giving US BIRDS
eye view Of the country through which he
passed xnd the places which he visited, a nd
exhibiting considerable ability as an edi-
torial correspondent. 1t has been surmieed
that Mr. E. has thought of leaving Mani
towoc and taking up bis residence at the
south. somewhere in Florida, We believe.
We would much prefer that the senior ed
itor of the Tribune should 20 and leave the
junior to run that concern, for we should
then have an honorable opponent to con-
tend with, and the community a more read.

HARD on SoBRIETY. The Tribune has
ever been most severe and lavish in its
strictures upon the use of rot.Gut as bev-
erage until its little pleasant experience
with poor MALLoY, and the nomination
of the republican candidate for the Office
of County Judge, Who can. 10 that line of
fashionable fabrication, beat the democrat
ic lomioee or any other man in the
county and give him ten points in the
game this, however. may be no fault Of
his, as it may be simply owing to this un-
usual power Of resistance to rot" and
length of gut.
But what we started out TO say, was,
that MALLoY when in a state OF intoxica~
ton wa. inveighled into the Tribune Office
and made to say many foolish, false and
ridiculous things, and to sign what was
written by the editor, who hastened to put
them in type for the delectation Of scandal
mongcrs and dishonest and lying polite
jams bat before the lying, slanderous arti'
,clc was published in the Tribune, MALLoY
became sober, and when told what he had
said and signed in the Tribune Office be
said it was all lie and wrote a letter TO
that effect, but the editor denied that wha,
MALLoY when sober said, was entitled to
crelit rs against what MALroY when
drunk had said. The free use of ''rot -ont
has come 70 be good thing in, the estim
alton of the senior editor Of the Tribnae,
for it has furnished him with q small
amount of the kind of capital that suit,
his natural taste to use for electioneering
purposes, and had he not been 20 peuuri'
GUS he would have retained MALLoY on
his editorial staff Till after election and by
giving him all the ''rot-gut' he could i'm
bibe, he would have made most efhcien,
editor OF the kind suited to the Tribune, fol
60 long as he remained drunk he would
haye been good rcpublicap-as he nould
have kept on lying.

Wisconsin.

Horrible Murder near Fond Du Lac,
Wisconsin.
The body of one NATHAN You've was
found in the woods just south of our neigh
boring city Of Fon Du Lac, on Sunday
evening, the 2lst ult.. He was evidently
beaten to death. as the ground around him
showed evidence of o hard fought battle.
Evidence all tends to prove that the mur
der was committed by negro named VIII.
LIAMs. Wo copy the following further
particulars from Fon Du Lac paper of the
23d inst.
On Sunday afternoon couple of boys
were in the woods above the city, south
west of Carpenters 5 residence, and dlscov-
cred the dead body of "a man. They ran
hastely and gave information of the fact.
The body WAS removed to the watchhouse,
ard on Monday a corner jury summon
ed, who proceeded in the discharge OF thcir
duties.
We have, from time to time, gathered
the following particulars, which we put to-
gether as the fullest account that We have
up to the hour of going to press.
The man had evidently been murdered,
as there was evidence in the snow that a
desperate struggle had taken place. His
skull was broken over the left e,r, his low
er jaw broken, his lips and upper jaw bad
ly cut, cut on the back of his head, and
severe bruises on other parts Of his head
These marks had the appearance Of hav'
ing been made by stone or slung shot
No marks or bruises were about the body
elsewhere. He was lying rod or more
from the place where the snow showed the
seyerest struggle. a stone lay under him,

Jere. Crorly. Esq,
DEAR SIR:-I am thankful to you for
having called the attention Of our post
masters to the irregularity of the mail di-
rected to "Paquette P. o." 1t is really
annoying. Not only papers. but impor>
tant letters which have been assured
were written to me, have never received.
Ii was my intention to call the matter to
the attention of Mr.. Esslinger when your
timely notice appeared in the Pilot. 10 my
mail matter Of yesterday had an evidence
of supine negligence or the sublime ignor-
ance Of some postmaster. A periodical
which l ought to receive weekly, but
which l do not, hope some one has the
benefit Of it)was persstently sent to a "Poy-
nette Post Office" located somewhere in
Wisconsin. The good postmaster of Poy-
nette WAS not discouraged, but divesting
it Of its battered wrapper, he enclosed it in
another, and then directed it to "Pa-
quette, in characters sufficiently large for
bliLd man to read with large index pre-
fixed. Wonderful to relate, it reached its
destination. Either we must petition for
another name for our postofice, or earnest
ly request our postmasters to pay more at
tention to their most important duties.
l have written you with the hope that you
will again call attention of our postmasters
to the subject, for there is something
wrong somewhere. In so doing you will

exhaustive article, and the writer fairly
turns the tables of statistics against those
who say that Catholic countries are less

Foul SLANDER- Tribunc's charge
that "Mr. QUINN of Schles wig, received
$50 to vote for SrBREE after being pledged
to BARKER" is most unmitigatedly
base SANDER against the character Of an
honest young man, and can find no apol-
ogy, except in the heart as black as the
one which originated il. 1t is we'll known
to many persons in his own aud other
towns that Mr.. QUINN is, and has for a loLg
time. been q warm personal friend Of Mr..
SIBREE, and that their political sentiments
coming into full accord as soon as the late
democratic convention was called, he an
nounced himself to be in favor of the nom>
ination of Mr.. SIBREE for the Office of
County Judge. and for that purpose and
that purpose only, he sought to be dele.
gate himself, and to secure the election Of
other delegates to the convention. It is
unnecessary for US to say one word in vim
dication Of the character of MIR. QUINN
against such base charges as have been
brought or insinuated by the Tribune, to
those who know or have seen him, for he
ranks among his acquainta noes of both po~
litical parties with the most worthy and
highly honorable young men Of the county.
The vote of his town at the coming elec.
tion will vindicate bis character in sus-
tanning his choice of candidates in the con-
vention.

The DEFENSE OF MAHoNEY.-The
Tribune had made certain charges of Off
cial misconduct against MAHoNEY, as
one of the Board Of Poor Commissioners,
and whether true or false would deny him
the right of self defense, or his right to en-
ploy an attorney to write u defense against
what be claims to be an unfounded attack
upon his integrity as . man and . public
officer.
Everyone charged with an offense wheth-
er small or great, is in the eye Of the law
supposed to be innocent until found guilty,
but in the eye Of the Tribune when it
makes charge against the character OF q
citizen of known integrity, no such pre-
sumption is allowed to be urged by an at
torney even OF the person assailed
The Tribune made repeated assaults up,
on the character of one OF our prominent
business men who up to that time had
stood "a high in the estimation of our pco-
pie as any one, and, it is contrary to al
rules of justice, propriety or decency for
the Tribune to hold Mr.. SIBREE or any
other attorney guilty of an offense for
writing defense in behalf of the person
assailed. II Mr.. SIBREE had come volun-
tarily to the defense of Mr. MAHoNEY, ,and
claimed fair play, and full investigation
Of facts before conviction, it would have
been taken as evidence of his manliness
and generosity of heart, and could not
subject him to the ;mputation of having
committed wrong in the mind of an hon,
orable man.

MAHoNEY WELL lit gives US great
pleasure to be able to announce to the
Tribune clique that MAHoNEY is in the
full enjoyment of his usual good health,
and bids fair to out-live the term of the
incoming County Judge. whoever he may
be. Had he been in feeble health and en-
tertained = reasonable fear of dying soon,
At the time the Tribune alleges he offered q
bribe to MALLoY to vote for SIBREE, We
could have very readily conceived that
there was reason for believing there was
truth in the allegation, As his affection
for bis family might induce him to offer to
give two new suits of clothes, and throw in

clothes" in order to secure . County

One DAY AFTER THE FAIR.-The Tri-
June, of last week, still harping upon the
old string, says:
Taxpayers Of Manitowoc, do you want
your taxes doubled over and over again
IF so, keep this Ring, Of which Mahoney
proves to be a member, in power.
The County Board Of Supervisors, some
time since. broke up this Ring, which
has given the Tribune so much trouble, by
abolishing the county system Of maintain
ing the poor, and hereafter each town is to
support its own paupers, and relieve needy
persons. and it is TO be hoped that their
wants and necessities will be properly cared
for and relieved, whatever may be the ex-
pense to the towns to which they may sew
orally belong. A years time and experi>
ence will determine which of the two sys-
TENS is the most humane as we'll as the
most judicious and economical.
We hope no town officer who may have
charge Of these unfortunates Of his town in
his treatment of them will throw off his
humanity for fear that the slandercus
shafts of the Tribune may be hurled at his
head
