Northern Wisconsin Agricultural and
Mechanical Association.

The first Fair and Exhibition of
this Society will be held in Oshkosh
the first week in October, 1870. The
objects of the Society, as its title in
dicates, is to encourage and make
better known the Agricultural and
Mechanical interests of Northern
Wisconsin but while the organiza-
ton naturally assumes something of
q sectional character, the Directors
have very wisely opened the Exhibit
ton to entries from all parts of the
State.
Liberal premiums for all classes of
stock, fruits, agricultural and me-
chanical products are offered, and
the fair promises to be one of the
largest and most important ever held
in Wisconsin.
The citizens of Oshkosh, with their
usual liberality, are making all nee
essary preparations for the Exhibit
ton, and for the proper entertainment
OF ell visiting it from abroad.
Arrangements are being made for
railroad transportation at reduced
rates.
The Premium List is out, and to
its provisions public attention is d.
rected. Copies of it may be had by
calling on, or sending to, J. II. Hicks,
Secretary, Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Congress or the Penitentiary."

Congress or tho penitentiary" is
the title of an outspoken article in
the New York Tribune, in which the
writer discusses the subject of Whit
temore's reappearance in Wsshing-
ton as u congressman >re-elect. We
quote as follows:
The house is made The sole Judge
as tn the qualifications of its men,
bers. Once it seems TO have had
pretty decided notions concerning
the qualifications Of Mr. h. +. Whit
temore. Itgrew less decided in some
similar cases; finally it disgraced
itself by permitting Mr. Butler of
Tennessee to remain, albeit as guilty
as Whittemore himself; now, per-
haps, it may think Mr.. Whlttemore
more possessed of all the qualifica-
tions required for its paesent stan
dard. 1t is the sole judge.
But we can assure members that
the time is at hand when a larger
body of voters will be called to sit in
judgment. Thus far the democrats
have promptly spurned and cast out
every member of their party found
guilty of this cadetship infamy. We
assumed great virtue at the outset
then we furnished able counsel for
the congressional cadet merchants
next we excused ono because no had
been an unusually active republican,
and after that the whole business
broke down. We tell the gentlemen
that We have had fully as much OF
this sort of thing as we can stand
We utterly and vehemently protest
against assuming any moro party
responsibilities in behalf of the car
petbag congressman. Here is q man
VIGOROUSLY guilty of shameful and
criminal acts. If the United State
authorities had not already neglected
their duty in the case, he would have
been admitted TO tho penitentiary OF
South Carolina, just about the time
he is approaching tho bar OF the
house to take afresh upon his per-
lured lips the oath Of Office. The
law of Congress explicitly provides
that if any member of Congress shall
directly or indirectly, receive any
pecuniary or other valuable consid
GRAFTON for procuring any Office OF
place under the government, he shall
be liable to indictment for misde
meanor in q United States court, anC
upon conviction shall pay fine no
exceeding so, 600, and be imprisoned
in the penitentiary for term no
exceeding two years, and be there
after disqualified from holding any
office Of honor, profit or trust, under
the government Of the United States
The house has resolved that he hai
done these things it has itself pre-
scribed this penalty for the doing o.
these things; it now asks whether
ignoring the guilt, and defying itt
own law, it shall re-admit Mr.. Whit
temore--perhaps that he may vote
for the repeal of the odious law

Whittemore's Whitewash.

M. d. T. Whittemorc, whilom
Member OF Congress from South Car
DINA, who resigned to save himself
IRON expulsion, is surprised and cha
grined because the House, when he
presented his new credentials, reject
ed him by vote Of 124 to 90. Whit
temoro's whitewash won't stay on, a
whit more than the cheap whitewashs
so often put on weather-beaten fenc-
es. This is fact that is not fully
understood by b. Il. w. He has an
idea that his reelection restores his
lost virtue. He thinks that he has
been purged because his name has
passed through the ballot box again.
This is mistake, yet he expresses a
purpose to present his credentials at
the next session of Congress.
In the meantime, as l24 voted no.
and 20 voted aye on the question OF
admitting BIN, we commend TO his
careful perusal revised edition OF
Goldsmith's lines:
When carpetbagger stoops 10 folly
And hnds too late that that don't pay
What charm can soothe his melancholy,
What vote can wash his guilt awayi
The only vote his guilt to cover,
| lie cannot have till mo" means faye"
| And asst don't, the stricken brother
| Must bid the present House goodbye.

these districts who are anxious to de-
fy the Coming storm" and go in and

The New Judicial District.

On Thursday last the President
signed the bill dividing the State of
Wisconsin into two judicial districts.
The new, or Western district, COM
prises the counties Of Rock, Jefferson,
Dane, Green, Grant, Columbia, Iowa,
Lafayette, Sank, Richland, Craw-
ford, Vernon, La Crosse, Monroe,
Adams, Juneau, Buffalo, Chippewa,
Dunn, Clark, Jackson, Flu Claire,
Pepin, Marathon, Wood, Pierce, Polk,
Portage, st. Croix, Trempealeau.-
The Circuit and District Courts OF
tho United States for said Western
District of Wisconsin, will be held at
the city of Madison and at the city OF
Ia Crosse. The bill does not affect
the census taking now being carried
on by Marshal Hamilton.
Dispatches Of Friday announce the
appointment of Hon. James G. Hop
kins, Of Madison, Judge, and Capt.
Frank w. Oakley, Of Beloit, U. S.
Marshal Of the new or Western dis
trict. OF these appointments the
State Journal says:
Mr.. Hopkins has never held any
public position, except that Of Sena-
tor in the State Of New York, about
eighteen years ago. He removed to
Wisconsin not long after the expira-
ton of his term in the Senate, and
settled in this city, where he has
since devoted himself to the practice
Of the law. Mr.. Hopkins has refused
to hold any political Office here or be
q candidate for one. He was APP
pointed to adopt the code to the laws
Of Wisconsin. He has long enjoyed
here large practice, the reward due
his eminent ability, untiring industry
and devotion to his profession. He
is Grst-class lawyer, superior bust
ness man, a man of property, and
has long been one of our most promi-
nent citizens. His appointment gives
general satisfaction to the bar.
Captain Oakley was a gallant Of
ficer in the 9TH Wisconsin Infantry.
He was wounded in action near Rap
pahannock Station, Aug. %, 1862,
aud had his arm amputated. The APP
pointment is good one and has
been bestowed on worthy citizen,
who is highly esteemed in Beloit and
where he is best known"

Fulfilling Promises.

Of one thing it can truthfully be
said of the President. and that il. he
is faithful to his promises, however
much his policy of paying off the pub
lie debt so speedily may be question
ed by some. In his inaugural adj
dress he made two clear and distinct
promises First, to collect the rev.
enue and second, to reduce the debt.
How this policy is being carried out
may be gathered from reports from
Washington. One tells us that the
Internal revenue receipts for the
present fiscal year will amount to
tour hundred and ten millions OF dol
lars, and the other that the reduction
OF the debt for May was 81, 301, 962-
+, o. decrease since the first of March,
SOL Tot lO5.39. AS to the policy Of
paying on the public debt SO speedi-
~, there is difference of opinion.
The internal revenue tax is of IT,
self Objectionable, particularly in
cases whore citizens are taxed on
their living--which they are on all
over the one thousand exception, If
the government desires revenue, why
not raise it upon profits, and not up
on incomes ? Leaving out of ques-
ton the policy and equality of the
present revenue laws, il is evident
that the administration of Pesident
Grant is making the most out of ev-
cry department Of the Government
that time and circumstances will al
low.
Even the post Office Department,
which never supported itself before
the rebellion, and was bankrupt un-
der the Johnson rule aiterward, is
! beginning to,rank as paying institu-
ton under an honest Republican ad-
ministration. The receipts arc now
greater than ever before, and the
needless expenditures have been
abridged, So that the next column
sheet, Il not in favor of the Depart
sment, will show 20 near it, az to
promise q net revenue in another
yea SO that Grant is putting every
I department Of tho government in
thrifty condition, If not yielding a
revenue, at least selfsustaining, thus
raising tho credit of the government
to high standard, and putting tho
country on the high road to pcrmas
nent national prosperity,--Dubuqve
Tmos.

Eg-While the melancholy news of
the death of Charles Dickens falls so
startlingly upon the public, it is
worth while recalling the fact that
the story of "David Copperfeld" is
admitted to be an autobiography of
the great author. In the preface of
the book itself il is announced as a
record "of personal condolences and
private emotions" Better than all
the lives of the ready writer at this
sad hour, warmer, fresher and nearer,
will be found this his own story OF
his own life.

Brick Pomeroy, of the New
York Democrat, is likely 30 be nom.
mated for Congress in place Of John
Morrissey, the present member, who
has fallen into disfavor by the roughs
and DULLES of that part of the city.
1t would be Bricks luck to be elect
ed, and when we consider his cheek,
impudence, and unscrupulousness, it
must be conceded that the represen-
tative and constituency would match
each other to perfection. His ability,
recklessness and dash must make
him popular with the professional
politicians that control thing in his
district, and his election may be safe
ly predicted. When he gets into
Congress, Eldridge will have to stand
back, and Pomeroy will DO the red
hot business for the Democratic
party.

sag-A Washington dispatch sayo
that there is a report, which seems
very we'll founded, that Motley will
shortly be recalled from London
AS a historian, Mr. Motley is a great
success. All acknowledge that he Is
outranled by none in that depart
ment Of effort. But as a diplomatist,
he has never done anything to merit
special praise. On the contrary, his
course at the Court of ST. James has
been unsatisfactory. 1t was ex-
pected that steps would have been
taken long before this to secure q
settlement of the Alabama claim, but
if anything has been done the public
has been unapprised of it. A Lon
don paper says Motleys ambition
seems to be to gain recognition by
the hterati of England, and that
diplomacy with him. 1t certainly
looks that way.

Canadian Independence-Great Mass
Meeting in Montreal.

New York, June 27.-The Worlds
Montreal special says that great in
dependence mass meeting took place
in Montreal on Saturday night. In
the coursdiof stirring speech, Sir
John Young said that the time had
now came when Canada should sew
or the connection with Great Britain,
and become an Independent nation.
AT this announcement the greatest
part of the vast assembly cheered lus-
THY.
La Flamme said that appeal to
England for support in case of inva-
sion of the Dominion would be fu-
tile. The present imperial admins
tration had deserted her colonies,
and proved herself a stepmother to
those who had fostered the deepest
affection for her. 1t was, therefore,
folly to think of anything but indie
pendence.
Other speakers followed in the
sameistrain, and the meeting adjourn
ed to Tuesday. The independence
movement may be recorded as fully
started in the Dominion.
