The u. s. Senatorship.

The Fond du Lac Commonwealth is out
in long, and ably written article in favor
'of Gen. G. @. Washburn for next U. 50
Senator. It reviews his course in Con-
gress, in the field, and as business man,
and shows conclusively that he is just the
man for the place, and should be elected,
on the question of locality it says:
"We have stated before, and now re-
peat, that since the Republican party had
the power to elect a Senator, they have all
been men resident on the East side of the
State, and most of them from the very
lake shore. If the overwhelming strength
of the party was on the East side, this
question of locality would not assume so
much Importance but the contrary is the
truth. Out of the $4,000 Republican ma
jority we had this fall, more than 10000
of it was furnished by the two west Con-
gressional Districts Of the State. Nearly
all the Assemblymen and Senators Of
these districts are Republicans, and it is
now manifest to those who are acquainted
with the facts that the wish to have Mr..
Washburn chosen Senator, approaches
unanimity with the members elect from
that region. We are credibly informed
that there are 80 members in those two
districts who are in favor of Washburn's
nomination and election. As it will only
take A members to make majority of
the Legislative Caucus that will determine
the matter, it looks as if it would be well
to heed the claims of locality when cen
tered on its representative man.
We are glad to be assured that what is
SO right and proper all round, is measure
bly, certain to be accomplished. If we
are ever to pay any attention to this
stronghold of the party, and recognize its
claims, it would seem to be wisdom to do
it now-when it presents with singular
unanimity, its chosen representative man,
and one, too, who happily combines in his
person and character and capabilities so
nearly all that the whole State should de.
sire in its Senator. With confident
trust that we commit ourselves to good
and true man, without any but the kind
Hest regards to the other good and true
men who have some friends each, we are,
for the foregoing reasons, in favor of the
election of Gen. c. G. Washburne, and
most confidently expect to chronicle his
election"

The old year, with all its vast concerns,
its hopes and fears, its failures and sue
cesses, joys and sorrows, good and evil,
has glided noiselessly into the past like

entombed alike the days crowned with

your resolves nobler, your aspirations

During the year the people have wit
messed the greatest political contest in the
history of the Republic-one freighted
with moro mighty results to liberty and

May our rulers govern wisely, and a

Primitive Tea Meeting.


The members of the Primitive Metho-
dist church-especially the ladies-have
had busy week preparing for their annu-
al tea meeting, which takes place at their
church this afternoon and evening. No
pains has been spared to make the meeting
fully equal to any ever held in this place,
which is saying great deal, for it must
be admitted that the people of Dodgeyille
are heavy on tea meetings. The bare an
nouncement that one is to be held is suffi-
cient to fill a house, and of course every
one who can get to the Primitive church
will celebrate New Years day by attending
The admission will be 30 cents, as usual,
including supper.

5 1g Fifteen years ago, a slender young
Englishman was making the rounds of
Chicago newspaper offices, seeking EN-
ployment as writer, introducing himself
ms brother of Charles Dickens. He was
unsuccessful in this application, but for
years after, filled desk in the Illinois
Central railroad offices in this city, always
struggling with narrow circumstances.
His death took place some eight months
ago. In our city news it will be seen that
his widow has followed him to the other
world, leaving his children orphans. The
great English novelist stated, without re-
serve, to gentleman in Boston, that
whatever American cities he visited, fami
~ reasons would prevent his going to
Chicago. We trust he may early be ad
yised that the barriers are being with
drawn. The poverty-stricken brother is
dead, and his widow is IN her grave. As
the orphans have never seen Uncle
Charles, they probably would not run to
his arms Chicago Republican.

az Mrs. Augustus N. Dickens, a SIS
ter-in-law of Charles Dickens, the great
English novelist and reader, died in Chi
cago on Christmas morning, from an over
dose of morphine. She was living in. re-
duced circumstances with her three daugh-
ters, at No. 56S North Clark street. The
unfortunate end of her sad life would, it
has been suggested, furnish her talented
brother-in-law, fine subject for one of his
affecting death-bed scenes, which are gen.
orally copies from real life. At the time
of Mr.. Dickens late trip to this country
it was generally announced through the
public journals that he had sister-in-law
residing in reduced circumstances in Chi
cago, and although the assertion was often
denied by the greater portipW Of the East
ern press, it was still tsstt, and when the
distinguished literary visitor. turned his
face toward England again, almost the only
blot upon his conduct in America was his
steady ignoring of his Chicago relative,
and his persistent refusal to visit her.

At the Primitive Methodist church, was
well attended, and passed off in an inter
esting and gratifying manner, The de-
pertinent of the scholars, and the readiness
with which they performed their parts,
evinced much training and labor on the
part of parents and teachers, and all con-
nected with the Exhibition have reason to
be proud of the highly successful result of
their efforts. The singing of the little
folks was unusually good, and was rare

fact that the audience could distinguish the

most complete success. The crowd was
immense, filling the large basement to its
utmost capacity, and indeed too full for
comfort, as one of the young lady walters
who had cup of coffee spilled upon her
dress, will cheerfully testify. The tables
fairly groaned under their weight of good
things, including everything in the eating
line that could well be thought of, and pre-
scented a very pretty ppearance,-proving
that the ladies of Dodgevile, besides being
capital cooks, have excellent taste and ar
