that State, which has about thirty me-
groes in it, they being elected By the

DRESS AND APPEAKANCE.-Upon the
subject of dress and appearance the
New York Times thus remarks:
A coat that has q mark Of use upon
IL is q recommendation to people Of
sense, and o hat with too much nap
and too high a lustre derogatory cir
cumstancs. The best coats in Broad
way are on the backs Of penniless tops,
broken down merchants, clerks with
pitiful salaries, and men that do not
pay up. The heaviest gold chains dan
gle from the fobs of gamblers and gen.
tlemen os limited means; costly orna-
ments on ladies indicate to the eyes
that are well opened the fact Of q silly
lover or husband cramped Tor funds.--
And when pretty woman goes by IN
plain and neat apparel, it is the pre-
sumption that she has fair expecta-
tons, and husband that can show
balance in his favor. For women are
like books, too much gliding makes
men suspicious that the binding is the
most important part.

TREBLA.

JOURNALISTIC MANY
of the foremost among American jour
nalists have received their preliminary
training at the printers case; but this
does not by any means prove that to
become an accomplished editor it is
necessary tn become IN accomplished
printer. There lisa greater proportion
Of printers who could never write the
articles they put in type than of edi-
tors who have no practical knowledge
of the art of printing; aud yet, there
is something in the early associations
of the printing office, which gives a
sort Of ripened culture to the other
wise well trained journalist. Upon
the same principle that the most eff
cient managers Of great industries are
those who have worked their way up
through the subordinate steps of the
craft, it is true that the school of the
printer gives the best training for the
journalist; it imparts kind of sym-
patty with letters that the mere scholar
does not acquire. The practical prin-
ter who becomes an editor is apt To be,
above all things, good paragraphist.
From having gone through the slow
process Of picking up aud depositing
the individual metallic blocks that, one
by one, spell out the words which ex-
press the writer's thought. the printer
learns to place a value upon eaci. let
ter and wore, and is very naturally led
to deprecate a useless waste of either.
Whatever may be the achievement of
schools for journalists, we believe that
the best schools are printing Offices and
active reportorial labors. ...., .-,..l.

Matt CARPENTER,

We have received and read powerful
state rights speech, made the other day bv
this gentleman, in the senate, during the
debate on the Cuban question We have
always had the greatest confidence in the
sound ability and patriotism of Mr.. Car
rcnter. And now, that he is but acting on,
the principles he has always entertained,
we don't see that he should be condemned
as he is by almost the entire radical press
of the country.
Mr.. Carpenter was ambitious to be made
senator, and to reach that position it was
necessary for him to CLOAK for while his
real opinions. and tickle the republican
party. He stopped to conquer and
having won his laurels, be straightens UP
again into his natural position
Hypocrisy made him senator. We are
inclined to be satisfied with the means he
used to snll the republican party, for by
such means alone could he have been elect
ed, and the state been represented in the
senate by brilliant, :@,riotie statesman
and democrat
Ben Butler is about the cnIy democrat,
that the republicans ever made much by
purchasing, and he would have lett them
long ago if the democratic party vould
have consented to take him back.

The Fifteenth amendment.

We find in the second resolution of the
Republ lean platform CT 1868, upon which
Grant was elected president, the following ::
The question of suffrage in all the 10y
al States, properly belongs to the people of
these States.
In this question properly belonged to the
people of the loyal States in 1865, it
properly belongs to them now What e1-
cuse have the Radical leaders to offer to the
people tor their lying and deception. They
knew at the time they made that pledge
they did not mean 10 adhere to it, Lut
meant to take the power from all of the
States over the question Of suffrage. If
they had declared at the time their real in
tention, Grant would not have carried a
single state. Are the people blind that
they cannot see what is in store for them :?
Or have they gwen up in despair, ard re-
solved quietly 10 submit and receive the
yoke? At the close of the reyolu,ion Eng

There is being an effort made by the city
Of Milwaukee to remove the Capital of the
State from Madison to Milwaukee. The
proposition may al first seem 100 absurd to
merit even passing notice but when We
know that there is actual danger of such
move being made, the matter assumes a
.aors serious ASPECT, aud the people OF the
State, outside of that presumptuous town,
should make haste TO express their views,
as veil through the medium Of the press
as through their representatives IN the
Legislature.
We are not in error whom we say that
should the question of such removal be
submitted to vote of the people of the
State, nine tenths of all the votes cast
would be opposed 70 the movement.
What superior advantage can Milwaukee
offer, a. the Capital Of the State? She is,
and always will be in the corner-and the
poorest corner Of the State. That city is
the last place in which a legislature of
moral ideas should be domicied Her
influence is already felt strongly to the in
jury of every other part of our State.
No bill unless Milwaukee i. to be bene-
fitted thereby, can be introduced into the
Legislature and carried without a fight
with her lobbies, her bribery aud her
maediction.
She is to day owned and run by cliques,
bankrupts, and soulless corporations.
At every session of the Legislature her
corruption money and intrigue are the most
| prominent characters on the stage at Mad
lson. A Il through the week her male lob
bies are seeking to entrap and destroy the
virtue and honesty of the members Of the
Legislature, and then, at the end of the
week, give them free passes to Wis Miwau
kee, the noted home Of TIE female lobbies !;
and many, far to many, Of the honest rep
resentatives fresh from the people, have
fallen under this pressure of the first
n.canest city in the State
By all means, let US keep our Ieeisla-
ture as far from Milwaukee as possible.
That city is already the enemy of every
town ard city in the State It is seeking
10 sap aud suck the very life blood from
her neighbCrs, that thereby she may ag
! grand;ze herself; and she leaves nothing
undohe TO accomplish her ends.
/ The time will come when the State OF
Wisconsin, outside OF that SODIUM, will
fnd It necessary to combine e., massc
to pro ect the State from her perniciou,
eucroachments.
The people of the State have already
paid too much tribute to Milwaukee
We owe her nothing in the future but to
Illustrate her in her wicked designs upon
| the rights Of the rest of the State
The Capital is just where it belongs at
present When it is removed, We claim
! that it shall be to Manitowoc!
