sV-We have heard it frequently
remarked that Mr.. Barber very soon
loses all his influence in Legislative
bodies Of which he is q member, and
his opposition or friendship to a
measure produces effects the very
reverse of what is intended. Mr.. Is.
is always ready to wound and LAGER
ate peoples feelings when he can,
but his habit of sarcasm and sneering
sometimes makes him friends instead
OF enemies. A year ago, good citi-
zens denounced the Court beause it
allowed Mr.. b. to pour out the most
violent invective and personal abuse
against junior brother at the bar.
That gentleman, however, now ticks
the hand that smote him, and prays
to be chastised whenever Mr.. B. has
leisure 10 honor him in that way
Even our venerable friend that leans
on crutch now expresses his graft
tude to Mr.. b. for exposing the
"rascalities" of his administration
account. Ii Congress should be
composed of such meek, forgiving
gentlemen as these two, Mr.. b.
would be master OF the situa-
ton, and his fellow members would
be as loving and submissive as span
iels, or Quakers, or christians of the
original stamp.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1870-08-16
Congressional = The Witness Reasons
Why Barber should be Nominated.

One OF the reasons assigned by the
Platteville Witness and its corps of
soreheads and disorganizers why their
man, Barber, should be elected to
Congress is because he has had FAM
lily misfortune and affiiction. While
we sympathize with Mr.. Barber ia
his misfortune as much and az seri-
ously as any one neighbor can with
another, we deny that the fact that
he has had family afflction furnishes
any substantial reason whatever that
he should in consequence thereof re-
ceive the Congressional nomination.
Mr.. Barber is a rich man and this
misfortune is not as serious and af-
flicting to him as it would have been
had he been man of limited means.
Mr.. BARRIERS money and wealth will
provide every accommodation for his
diseased son; and even now the port
ais of our State Asylum have opened
wide to its choicest accommodations
to receive young Barber, while others
equally as unfortunate and deserving
are denied the hospitality of our
State Asylum. Who is there that
gives poor Mrs. Scarf now confined
in the County Jail, a passing notice
or her friends word of sympathy
in her and their affiiction and misfor-
tunes Long before this affliction
came to Mr.. BARRIERS door, applica-
tion was made to the Superintendent
of our State Insane Hospital for her
admission to the care of the institu-
tion-but no, she must be turned
away and denied admission. In Mr..
BARRIERS case, there was no delay, no
refusal, and his son was admitted,
without even being required to m AXE
formal application. Mr.. Barber has
untold wealth. Mrs. Scarf and her
friends are poor. This poor unfor-
tunate woman is now confined in u
felon's cell, and as we pass along and
listen to her wailings we are remind
ed that "God alone is just"
We only refer to this matter to
show how ridiculous are the preten-
sions and assumptions of the Witness
and we hope no one will be influenced
thereby. We refer to the Sheriff of
Grant County for the facts.

n9-Iu lying circular being scat
tered broadcast through this county
by the Bourbon aristOcrats, some
rich statements occur. For instance
it says, speaking of Hon. Geo. G..
Hazelton-
"His principal business is that Of profess
ed politician
This is peculiarly rich, when we
find, on examination of the income
returns for this District, that Mr..
Hazelton on his law business pays
an income of $1,000, while Mr..
Barber, with his immense wealth,
income from rents, interest, law
practice and all, pays but about $50.
Comment is BoScobeL
Journal.
By reference TO our scrap book
we notice that last year Mr.. Barber
paid less than twenty dollars income
tax. In the year '67 he paid no in
come tax and the year previous but
few dollars. Comment is certainly
unnecessary.

CoNGREssIoNAL.-The Monroe Sen
tinel in an article on Congressional
matters says:
as. S. Wilkinson will doubtless re-
ceive the full vote of Sank county in
the convention, as he is warmly sup
ported by his friends, and other can
didates will split up the balance of
power. The united vote of Green
county on one of three candidates
would decide the fate of either and
it remains to be seen which of these
will BIO chosen Worden, Hazelton
or Wilkinson. We predict that there
will be the liveIiest and hardest
fought contest ever experienced in
this District and some button holes
will be quite shockingly mutilated.
We are really glad that we have no
chances in the contest"

The Result of the Infamous Platteyille
Circulars.

Editor of Grant County HERALD-Sir:
1t is seldom l feel called upon to
write you or any newspaper man,
but the occasion seems to call for a
protest from every earnest man
against being insulted, as | have been
for the past two weeks by some
scamps in Platteville. Here | am a
Republican, always have been. and
to be insulted by having thrust un-
der my nose every day or two. cir
culars from Platteville, (for they are
mailed there) brim-full of tho black
est lies ever formed by mortal man,
about as good men as we have in our
party, and about men too who are

Congressional Races and Foot Races.

Mr.. EDITOR Don't you remem-
Der some two or three years ago,
that "Jim Jones of Feminine" under
took in the Circrit Court to redress
the wrongs of one of his colored
brethren that he contended Mr..
Barber had defrauded the "col'rd
individual" out of portion Of his
bounty money! The court endeav-
ored to moderate the vehemence Of
Mir. Jones eloquence, when he cried
out in virtuous rage, "Joe, you know
Barber has chizzled this nigger here
out of his bounty money Mr.. Bar
Der has pulled the wool over your
eyes, Joe, and has chizzlled the
niger out of his money, and the
court is afraid to make Barber ex-
gorge"
But Mr.. Jones always means well,
and since Barber helps Jones in his
foot race, Jones helps Barber in HE
congressional race. When Jones
has the niger in his mind, he curses
Barber. When he thinks of his dear
mother-in-law he curses Hazelton.
Ia the present truce the niger lie
buried, and counsel and client are
reconciled. WITNESS.

Mr.. Barber, "who has never forced

fair sample of the ignorant stupidity,

Judge against Judge Mills several
years since, and who succeeded in
getting one cote IN Convention from

to cap the climax of political failures,
he allows himself to be bamboozled
