This will be read with regret by
the numerous friends of General
Cobb throughout the District, who
had hoped that he might be persua.
ded to longer serve them as their
representative in the national legis,
lature, During his eight years of
service he has won, by his mswerv.
ing integrity and devotion to the in.
terests of his constituents; by his
manly and patriotic course on all
occasions; and by his eminent eff.
cheney and sound Judgment, a conf
dence, esteem and admiration from
the people rarely enjoyed by public
men, lis determination not to fur
ther serve the people Of the Third
District as their representative, is
looked upon as a calamity. True we
have many good and able men from
whom to select bis successor, but it
is impossible that we can secure his
superior, while there is danger that
some one far inferior in important
respects, may succeed him.

appear plausible to q casual observer,

Mr.. Joiner was elected chairman oi

during Mr.. is tenn of Office as legisla-
tor The act making the County Board

duty to such officers, and does not create

concur with the Di strict Attorney tina
Mr. Joiner is clearly entitled to act MS a
member Of the Board. 1t may be object
ed that the emoluments of the Office are
increased by the act which Mr. Joiner
assisted in passing but the increase is

scrupulous court would adudge it a dis
qualification in Senator Joiners case.

The Question OF Eligibility,

1t will be observed by the proceedings
of the County Board Of Supervisors, that
Hon. l.. w. Joiner, the member of the
Board from Wyoming, candidly submit,
ted the question of his legal right to be
"a member Of the board, he having been
memher of the Legislature that enact
ed the law creating the Office
On motion of DR., Van Duscn, tho
member from the first ward Of the city
of Mineral Point. the District Attorney,
J NJ. Smith Esq, was called on for his
opinion, and gave it, that Mr. Joiner
was clearly entitled to seat in the
board
How the District Attorney could be so
clear on this matter is certainly a mys-
terry for it is principle of law as old
rs the constitution of the country, and
on which there has never been a conflict
ing opinion among the jnrlsts, that a
person cannot hold any office, either by
election or appointment, that was created
or the emolumen.s of which were in,
creased during the time he was mem.
Osr of the legislature.
There is similar provision in the con.
stitutlon of the United States to the one
in our own constitution, and Justice Story
in his comments, says;
THE reasons for excluding persons
from Offices who have been concerned in
creating them, or increasing their emol-
uments, are to take away, rs far as posi-,
Bile, any improper bias in the vote of the
representative, and to secure to the con L.
.tltuents some solemn pledge Of his dis
lntercstedness

Conyrcss,onaf CanG dates

We publish to day communication IN
the interest of Hon. }. Allen Barber, OF
Grant County as a candidate for Com
press. Without wishing to pc under
stood as declaring for Mr. Barber at this
time, we agree with the writer, that there
is not probably man in the District who
can better fill the seat to be vacated by
General Cobb. His age, experience,
lonp residence in the District, hle'time
devotion to Republication, ACKNOWLEDGED
superior ability, and known integrity and
purity of character, are recommendations
which entitIe him to the confidence and
countcnance of every true Republican
and patriotic citizen having the Interests
of the District and nation at heart -
Should Mr.. Barber succeed General
Cobb, the people would be secured q
faithful and efficient representative, and
their interests be well conserved.
There are doubtless others whose cleo
don to the responsible position would
give equal satisfaction to the people
and reflect credit upon the District
among whom may be named, Hen. AL
len Warden, of Lafayette County, Gen.
Jas Bentlifi of Green, Hon. 5. 5 Will
kinson, of Sank and Hon. .. b, Thomas,
of Crawford-but our acquaintance with
them is not such as to qualify us to
clearly judge of their merits and capaN
bilites
OF one other candidate Gin fact the
most persistent and active in the feld)
we must also make mention, viz Geo
c. HazeIton, Of Grant County. If the
qualities we have named as recommen"
dations fer Mr. Barber are to be con-
sidered rs essentials, Mr. llazelton can,
not hope for the nomination. lie is but
a young man; his experience therefore
cannot be extensive he has resided in
the State but brief time, during about
all Of which he has managed to hold Of
fce) His history up to the time of his
coming to Wisconsin is unknown to the
people; his friends do not claim for him
anything more than an ordinary pettir
fogpin,r ability, and his "integrty and
purity Of character is not so well es-
tabished as it should be before the in
terests Of this District are consigned to
him as our representative in Congress, -
OF all the men named, or that may be
named in connection with the candidacy
for Congress, George c liazelton is the
most Objectionable, aud should be the
last to be chosen-belorc a rebel-sym-

We may do rs well in this regard, in the
selection of his successor, but 1t would
be difficult or impossible to do better =
Let us by all means strive to do our best,
and ne shall thus discharge our duty
This Congress is ccnlessedIy the most
wordv and inefficient of any OF Its pre-
decessors for long term OF years, and
it is high time that the seats in the Cap
itol we're filed with clear headed men OF
less talk and more practical sagacity. -
This elias. of men is not numerous tut
the men zoe haze, and we also have
euough-quite enough-of the opposite
class. whose continual elferNeseense
serves to keep us, both constantly am
moved and busy. SO far as we may be
permitted to make suggestion we shall
insist upon having rigid economist for
our member
We are not we'll acquainted with all
the candidates whose names have been
mentioned in this connection, but some
we know very we'll In our judgement
the District would be well served II the
choice should fall upon either Wllkln-
son. Worden, Rintljtf Stuart, Thomas or
j Allen Barber The several candIdates
of course vary in ability and experience,
but neither of them would reflect DIS
credit upon himself or upon the District.
This is delicate matter and we certain.
ly wish not to be invidious, but 1t we are
left free to choose keeping in view the
requisites we have endeavored to point
out in this article, we must pronounce
for Mr.. Barber. This with no unkind-
ness towards the others named, II we
examine Mr.. BARRIERS record, we shall
find that he is sound clear, energetic and
eminently practical. In his mora, social
and political relations be is without a
ble1nish, and his ability is of such high
order that he would at once take rank
among the foremost in Congress Ills
views on financial affairs, are thorough
and in harmony with the interests OF the
nation; and az for economy and olhcial
purity, there is probably no man IN the
state who has SO clean record and is so
irreproachable as j. Allen Barber.
