TIE Judicial District Convention,
held At Spring Valley, IN the 9Th inst,
nominated Hon. Sherman Page, Of this
village, for Judge Of the 10th Judi
cial District. Only one other name
was prcscnted-that Of Hon. N. p.
Colburn, Of Fillmore county. Mt
Page had very decided majority ou
the first ballot. and his nomination, On
motion Of A. J. Stevens, Of Fillmore
county, was madc unanimous.
He is known throughout the
District, as very able and successful
lawyer, and better yet, as an
honorable, independent and incor-
1uptible man. His experience in Min
ne.ota has been Of that character best
calculated to qualify him for the grave
and responsible duties Of the bench.
Being the senior partner Of a fra'
having a very extensive practice, his
work has beeo very largely that Of an
advocate in the courts Of thc State. He
is, therefore, familiar-not only will,
the application Of law principles, but
with al th<~e nice points in practice,
which skiliul lawyers never fail ia
raise.
Mr.. Page is indebted for his present
prominence, largely to his own efforts
Ills ability and labor would win dis
tinction anywhere, but to these alone
we cannot ascribe the full measure Of
his success. A variety Of unimportant
influences, certainly unimportant in
their origin, and mode Of development
have aided him materially. One Of the
most insig ui6cant and venomous CT
these is the Austin Register, a small
ching, feeble, in every element except
that Of calumny, and yet that Shiny
thing, more than any other one, has at
tracted tn. public attention and cen
tered it upon Mr.. Page Watching
carefully his career, tho people have
found nothing in it to condemn, but q
very great deal to applaud.
The Register has villi6ed and SLAM
4 ed until the public give no more heed
to its ratings against Mr.. Page, than
the populace do to the howlings Of the
culprit, who sits in the pillory and cur
re-. The judge who sentenced him to
just punishment for his many crimes
1t is to he expected that the nomina
ton will provoke a fresh attack,
but only to be attended with thu
usual result. Mr.. Page will be elected
,nd his nice sense Of honor, and his ex
tcnsivc legal learning, will make him
an honorable and popular judge.

Notes from the Jubilee.

BosToN, Mass, June q, 1872.
Editor Of No.'er County T,o".cr;p.
SIR Having fully arrived" and
had time to think and take peep at
the " Ions Hardly more than this, for
the wheel of excitement never ran more
rapidly around the club" than at this
time, 1 will ask your space for few
items.
1 left Austin at II 20, P. NJ, on
Monday the 10th ult., and arrived in
Chicago on the following day, where l
remained forty-eight hours for rehear-
sal with the Iowa Normal Academy
Chorus. I was shown around the city
by Solomon Snow, Esq, formerly Of
Austin. Chicago is a city of wonders.
1t is rapidly rising from the ruins. The
work of rebuilding is progressing upon
every block in the "burned district"
A brief stay at Niagara Falls i'm
pressed me with the sublimity Of the
cataract. and with the meanncss of
those who make it business to show
people around"
reached Boston on Saturday. On
that day trains were arriving every hour
from all directions, bringing thousands
Of people to the Great Jubilee. No
Chorus ever assembled that can be com.
pared with the Worlds Jubilee Cho-
rus of 1872. That of 1869, was only
about one-half as large.
The greatest musical gathering Of
which history gives any account, was
that held at Birmingham, England land
in that the choruses did not, in any
case, number over 5000 voices. Then
what shall We say Of 10000 voices cho.
rus? Not less than $4,000 arc in &C.
tual and regular attendance, while there
are at least 10000 members upon the
roll. The different choruscs are uni
form and evenly balanced. 1t is sur
prising to note the distinctncss with
which the several parts can be heard
Each department has been under the su
pervision Of some one Of the great mas
tiers, and every chorus has been studied
and formed by men who understand
better than any others in the nation
the aesthetics of sound-hcncc we neet
not wonder at the fullness and unit,
aid grand success of the Jubilee Ma
ny have an idea that it produces only ;
great and dcafcning noise-a mere con
glomeration of sound Their surprise
is manifest upon hearing an orchcstr;
made up from the cream Of the world
rehearsing as perfectly as if they'-iI
numbers, comprised no more than vii
lage choir. No description is adequate
To say that it is steady, grand, inspi
ring, sublime, like the mighty ocea.
murmuring al language which is native
to all the nations Of the earth, is to-
feeble an expression, and our idea o
lit remains unexpressed.

Jeff. Davis tells your Gov. Brown

H. says l accept nothing; sta"d
where I stood before, justifying the re-
bcllion I stand justiiying it to-day
Alexander IL. Stevens and Senator
Toombs, once Il United States Senator
says the same. Every leading impor
tant rebel who is not pardoned stand:
today telling you in your face chat they
will not accept your mercy. They JUS
tify the rebellion, and I say it would be
unwise in the American people to force
this amnesty upon these men, and yet
Gen. Schurz and Grow. Brown wan,
this amnesty extended to jeff. Davis
What for? He can vote and kill you,
vote now and he will kill it, to-, al
the next election. But they say they
want jeff. Davis and Gen. Brecken
ridge elected to the United States Sch
ate. They want them back in Con
gress again. Aye, but your Liberia
Republicans are upon that PLATFORM
You say you are for unconditional and
universal and immediate amnesty. Th.
Republican party says, VIC are for uni
vcrsal and immediate amnesty for al
who are willing to come back and love
this country and obey its laws. They
don't even ask them to love their coun
try, but they say if you will only come
back and obey the laws aud give up
your treason, we will forgive you en-
tirely. jeff. Davis refuses to do this
and yet, you Liberal Republicans,
don't think you are conscious Of it
and you Democrats, am sorry if you
are conscious Of it. You are takin;
these positions which is the onl!
plank you have got in your platform. ex
cept civil service, that jeff. Davis ha'
a right to be elected President Of the
United States, and you want to put hin
in position where the people can vot,

granted amnesty at all. I would usl
why? He said because, though W
give the rebels the right to vote an,
hold Office, we don't give them the RICH
to vote for JEFF. Davis, if they wantc'

ACuRIoUs WAGER.-A wager late
ly came, the terms of which were as
follows:
Il will bet any man G10O that he
cannot make a million strokes with
pen and ink within a month" They
were not to be n ere dots and scratch
es, but fair down strokes, such as
form the child's first lesson in writing
A gentleman accepted the challenge.
The month allowed was the lunar
month of only twenty-eight days, so
that, for the completion of the I'M
dertaking an average of 36 600
strokes per diem was required. This
at sixty per minute, or 3 600 per
hour-and neither the human intel
lect nor the human hand can be ex-
pected to do more-would call for 10
hours labor in every twenty-four.
With a proper respect for the Sab
bath, the gentleman determined to
abstain from his work on Sundays,
and by this determination diminish.
ed by four days the period allowed
him; at the same time, by so doing,
he increased The daily average of his
strokes to upward of Al 900. On the
first day he executed so 900; on the
second day nearly as many. But al
length, after many days, his hand be.
came stiff and weary, the wrist swol.
len, and, without lnterrupting it's pro-
gress over the paper, it required the
almost constant attendance of some

From every side in America comes
assurances like that of Mr.. Morse
that the people of the United States
seek no vindictive damages, and
would approve no sharp practice in
dealing with a friendly Power. We
accept Mr.. Morse, therefore, as the
spokesman of his more thoughtful
and educated countrymen, and are
quite prepared to believe that, were
the case to be framed over again, its
contents might be modified. In fact
the attitude of England, the force OF
her representations. and the uni7e-
sal opinion of the Continental ma
tons, have had an affect on the
American people, and caused them
to realize the extravaganza of indirect
damages as interpreted by the poll
ticians W ho follow Mr.. Sumner.
Some of those most opposed to Eng
land as rule are said to have given
their opinion that the claims cannot
be morally sustained, and we must
remark that the tone Of the Amerl-
can press is for the moment ezcep'
tionally friendly. These things au-
Egur temperate discussion of our dit
ferences, and an amicable termina-
ton of them. But they do not form
any ground for proceeding to the al.
bitration under the construction Oh
the treaty maintained in the Amerl'
can case. We can never play ias'
and loose with such documents. Tney
must be seriously and strictly inser'
preted, and held to mean what they

W0man'S ElOqueEce.

We clip the following interesting in
cident from the Kansas City Journal of
Commerce, of Oath February:
During the speech making at the
Opera House in Topeka, on the even
ing of Washington's birthday, some
unhappy allusion made by a speaker
produced a warm debate between two
prominent speakers, which fast warmed
into a dispute likely to mar the har-
mony which had all along characteriz-
cd the occasion.
In the midst of a war of words,
which was already having the effect
to excite the audience according to
their individual views, lady in the
balconies was seen to rise, and her
voice was heard above the excited
tones of the disputants appealing to
soldiers and gentlemen, and especially
to the speakers who had so evidently
forgotten their dignity as to enter into
a scene which would be, if continued,
disgrace to them in the eyes of their
fellow citizens and former comrades.
She said ladies, as we'll as all there,
had come to listen to the history OF
their friends and brothers, some sur
wing and present, many dead who
had taken part in the great struggle
which this reunion was to commemo-
rate, and not to listen to anything
which would bring a blush of shame
to their cheeks or pang of regret tt
their hearts. She was positive til,
gentlemen would not debase them
selves by such unmanly conduct, bu
would Immediately desist.
| Nor was she mistaken Her word
produced the most death.like stillnes
during their utterance; as she sa
down there was deafening applause
during which the excited gentlema,
subsidized into quiet, and everythin
progressed in the same happy name
as before. Thus were the lions sub
dued by the lamb.
The lady's name was Switzel, an
she resides in Orange.
