HUMILIaTING EXHIBITION.

Hon, A, NJ, Craig, candidate of few
Princeton political bummcrs and dead beat
for Supreme Judge, exhibited himself il
Ottawa on Friday and Saturday of last week
If any thing had been wanting to dcmolisl
the last vestige of Il chance of Mr. CRAIG
getting II respectable vote in this county, thi,
exhibition of himself was abundantly enough
to do it. While he is known to be man Of
immense wealth, owning five farms
in Knox county," as circular intend
ed to promote his election tells us, and has
his pockets full of railroad passes so that ii
costs him nothing to travel, Mr. Craig made
his appearance here disguised rs an INDECENT,
hard working farmer of the class that work
poor land on shares He was dressed in n
dingy, patched homespun coat and pants, II
coarse cotton shirt, slouched hat and stoga
boots. # q ~ r. a
In this thin disguise Mr. Craig, to uphold
the fraud Of his being the farmers candid
ate, proposed to pass himself off as Il farmer ,
We beg TO assure Mr.. Craig that little
game like that is vast sight too thin to take
with the sturdy farmers of La Sale county.
Were it one of his pcculiaritics or cccentrici.
ties, as was alleged of Horace Greeley, to
be slovenly and careless about his dress it
might be overlooked; but it is we'll known
that Mr.. Craig, as in the Constitutional Con
vention, 50 among lawyers, railroad officials
and men of that class, usually appears as
well dressed as any of them, and it was moth
ing short of an insult To the farmers of this
county that he should appear among them in
such boorish rig What sort of II notion
must he have of our farmers. Does he i'm
aginc they want man to sit on the Supreme
Bench dressed like a clown or clod-hopper?
When the farmers of La Sale county 90
journeying, or into society, or even on an cleo
pioneering tour, they dress up like gentlemen,
and generally manage To make quite as de-
cent an appearance as the starchiest of at the
sensible men in the professions. While they
would not have the indecency to intrude
themselves into Mr.. Craig's fine parlors in
the working rig OF hod carrier or plowboy,
they as little court the intrusion of Mr. Craig
into their parlors or social circle in such an
uncouth garb. In short, while the farmers
and voters of La Sale county generally are
great admirers Of homespun and cowhide in
their proper place, they have no respect for a
thin hypocrisy which affects preference for
these in the place of broadclo,h and French
calf

The contest for Judge of the Supreme
Court, now being waged in this Judicial Dis,
trict, is attracting much attention from all
parts of the country. In very pointed arti-
Gle reviewing the platform adopted by the
Princeton Convention which nominated Mr.,
Craig, the Albany On. " Ldr Journ0L uses
the following language;
1T seems incredible that any lawyer, with
any self.respect, would accept Il nomination
on such Il platform, striking as it does, most
Enthusiastically at the very foundation of free
and Independent Judiciary. But a lawyer
one Alfred VI. Craig, of Galesbnrg-was
found, who, as he modestly puts it, mindful
of the fact that an American citizen ought
not to seek public position, neither ought he
to refuse to serve the people when called up
on accepts the nomination thankfully 1t
is to be hoped that Mr.. Craig will be many
years older and much wiser than he now is
before lie gets an opportunity from the far
mers to serve the people upon the Supreme
Bench" &

THE REGIsTY LAw.-Gov. Beveridge, for
some inScrutable reason arising evidently
from mental idiosnycracy for which no salts
factory explanation or apology can be offered,
has vetoed the bill of the last legislature so to
amend the registry law as TO exclude from its
operation towns having less than 1900 votes
The execution of the law costs the people of
this state $l50,0o0 a year, most of which
comes out of counties TO which it is griey-

les, it is as useless and unnecessary to prevent

commenced suit for her before Esquire G. J..
Roberts, Justice of the Peace at Yates City,
and obtained Judgment for Mrs b. for sixty
dollars. The railroad company appealed the
case TO the Circuit Court. Just as the cast
was about TO be called for trial, o. +. Price,
the regular attorney of the C., b. q, made
a motion fer q change of venue, the object of
which was, evidently to take the trial so far
away from Mrs. Broadfield's home that il
would cost her more to prosecute the suit
than the COW was worth. Upon the argument
OF the motion, what was my surprise to SEE
A. VI. Craig, who had not appeared in The
case, jump to his feet and make an argument
against Mrs Broadfcld and in favor of tlfe
change of venue.

EARLvGLLE ITEMs.-Thc Earlvill Trans.
|crpt of the 26th has these items:
WOLF!-O. ID. Barras brought into town on
Thursday, eight young wolf whelps which he
had that morning killed in the Rev. John
Jennings woods, They were observed in a
hollow log, driven out and killed by the Wig
orous use of club. They had the appear
ance of young puppies and were probably
two months old. We understand that the
bounty is three dollars for each young wolf
killed.
Rufus Crane and Joel Carter, of this town,
have returned from France bringing with them
five fine draft horses Of the Normandy breed.
Any one in this vicinity who is an admirer
of horsc-tlesh will be well repaid by visit
to the stable in the rear of Boobies hotel.
These animals are all young, being under
-four years of age, and are remarkable from
the fact that unlike the Normandy horses
that we have been accustomed to see, they
have well formed legs, but at the same time
they are not wanting in strength.

At the Woman's Suffrage Convention
this morning, Mrs. Kimball and Mrs.
Hanks withdrew from the delegation
to Paris. Bennett introduced a reso-
luton TO rescind their appointment.
This was resisted warmly, on the
ground that their resignation had re-
moved the necessity Of such resolution.
Mrs. Leland contended that the reso-
luton ought to be adopted, as the Con-
vention was for only n purpose, and
that to promote the suffrage question.
Personal explanation, MS usual, fol-
lowed. and Bennett and otlIcr males
got greatly excited. For a time halt
a dozen persons were OIL the floor at
once, and great confusion prevailed.
The Presldant commanded order, and
said she would have It. The purpose
seemed to DO to commit the Con-
vehtion more expressly against the
doctrine of Free Love. Finally Mr..
Benefits resolution was laid on the
table, and the resignation of Mrs.
Hanks and Mrs. kimball wasaccepted.
Mrs. KIngsbury offered a resolution to
the effect that the Convention was
called for no other purpose than to ad.
vance the cause Of woman's enfran-
chisement alone, and 1t was adopted.
The convention then adjourned sine
