The MILWAUKEE NelcS, now, to ap-
pease the wrath impending, and to
soften things. attempts to make the
people believe that McDill received
hundreds " of illegal votes, and We
are sorry to see that the Tribune takes
a heap of stock in the statement.
Hear the Neacs:
And now these regency blowhards
may as well understand first as last, that
it is claimed that hundreds of fraudu-
lent votes were cast and returned for
McOill- that Cate has majority of
hundreds Of the honest votes of the
District, aud that the fact will appear
on incontestable evidence in due time.
It would have appeared before the
State Canyassers or in the Supreme
court, had that been the place for con
test. It will appear in Congress-. when
the contest is brought, let them pos
. sess their souls in patience. the proof
as 20 the fraud. will come thick and
fast enough At cno proper time in the
proper place.
Does not both the Na.es aud the
Tribune know that the above is a lie
Only now has the charge been raised,
and now only for effect. The fact is
where there have been informalities in
returns, they have been corrected, even
with large majorities for Cate, and
from all over the district the tidings
have come of the general integrity OF
the past election. No, repeaters, thugs
dead-beats and ballot-box suffers be
long to, and are part Of that carca<
of which the Reform calf is only bas,

Clerk for purity. How he shine:

THE CHIPPEWA 4oo7aoche has a
brief article on the result Of the Con
gressional vote Of this county ana the
new county Of Lincoln, which is not at
all commendabIe to that journal The
Aualanche hints Of corruption in the
Town Of Lincoln and says it IS ru-
mored that twice as many votes were
polled in that town than at any previ-
Gus election. Not so. Lincoln can
poll $50 votes, and only about 90 were
polled November Sd. Again the Ava-
1onche says the county of Lincoln was
not heard from at all until about two
weeks after election, then the republi-
cans, fearing McDill was defeated,
stirred themselves up &C., &c. This
nonsense from the -AgaIanche is not
worth noticing, but it shows the apti-
tude of reform paper to look for mi
putty everywhere but in its own party,

THE ANNUAL report Of the Secret
airy OF War shows the expenses Of the
war department for the year ending
June 80, 1874. were $42 32G,3l+,75,
being a reduction Of $3,998000 over
the year before. It recommends that
private soldiers be allowed in some in
stances to compete for favorable posi-
tons with commissioned officers. This
is most just recommendation. It
discourages any further reduction. Of

be authorized to drop from the rolls of
officers of the army those who ''inten-
tionally and criminally duplicate their
pay accounts, that is. those who
present accounts for the same month
more than once, and obtain pay on
them-A better way to treat such Of
fcers would be to give them term of
years in prison, as common criminals
would be served.

TIE MILWAUKEE Daily AdvertjyeJ
says 1T is claimed that if an cdu-
cational stan dard were applied to the
population in the Southern States, to
determine the possession or non-poss-
ession Of the voting privilege, the col
ored people would put the whites com
pletely in the shade. Since the .'sur-
render" as many negroes are accus-
toned to call the end of the war, the
capacity to read and write has greatly
extended among the emancipatcd class,
while the mean white class has gone
back into contented ignorance, and lives
in the belief that education is Yankee
trick which in some mysterious way
would initiate against their happiness.
Where ignorance is bliss, tbs folly to
be wise. -

The foregoing shows that there is
something radically wrong, and the leg
islature ought at once to take such &C.
ton as shall enable candidates lawfully
elected to protect their interests from
frauds practiced in the future
The scathing rebuke which Judge
Lyon gives the derelict board of Wood
County, to apply to It's several mem
berS no worse term. should be read by
every voter in the 8th district, as it
will be by a large majority. Such
words burn deep, and if they have no
effect upon the rascally perpetrators
of the most damnable election fraud
ever perpetrated in this district, and
upon their compeers Of high and low
degree, who pretend to such immmac-
ulate innocence while they are as guilty
5 Satan's boss blazer, why, it is only
because their gangrened hearts have
become so diseased and vile from the
flowing ofpolitical putrescence that they
cannot understand the meaning of the
terrible words in all their terrible sig
nifcance. Read, weigh every sentence
carefully, and discern the lightning of
Judicial wrath which precedes the
thunders which will echo anon.
There is nothing in the statement of
the Board of County Canvassers show
ing or tending to show, neither was
it claimed in the argument Of the
demurrer. that any effort was made
/ to procure corrected returns from
the rejected town and ward. On
the contrary, the silence Of their
statement on that subject, the sup
preston Of the nature Of the alleged
defects in such returns, Tor which
they were rejected, and the fact that
it does not appear that the Board
awaited itself of the power given by
law to adjourn for the purpose Of
procuring correct returns, leaves
upon our minds a most painful i'm
preston that the County Canvassers
utterly neglected their duty in this
respect, and illegally and wantonly
disfranchised all of the electors who
voted at such election in the rejected
town and ward.
If they did SO, they committed a
most serious ofense, an oh'ense which
strikes at the very foundation of our
system of government, and which
cannot be too severely censured.
Hence it was that we felt justified in
saying, during the argument Of the
demurrer, that he, who, by fraud or
by wiilful disregard Of his sworn
duty, defeats the will Of the people
as expressed bv their votes, commits
a political crime next to treason and
nearly akin to it, and that this court
will never fail, on any proper occa-
sion, to characterize such an ofense
in fitting terms.
These are terrible words to be ut
tered by one clothed with the males
ty of the law. Let our county board
learn them by heart; let them blazen
them upon their home affairs that
their children may read,-let them
be written upon their door posts, and
upon the lintels, and let them be re-
membered as a memorial of the men
who have usurped every principle of
honor and sold themselves ornaught,
wherever the story of G. o. Baker
and his assistants shall be told in all
the future.

The Cincinnati Commercial, du
ring the brief and not brilliant ex'
istence of the Liberal party, one Of
its most tender and assiduous
nurses, has lately given in its col
umns an affecting obituary of the
dead bantling from which we take
the following choice extracts:
Our readers have all heard of the
man who made bet that he could
eat six dozen hard-boiled eggs. He
won the bet but he died Of the per-
Torrance. The eggs were too much
for him. This was pretty much the
disease Of which the Liberal Re-
publican child died. 1t was case
Of indigestion. 1t undertook the
feat of devouring hard-boiled Dem.
ocrats-the entire party in fact, and
an insufficiency of gastric juice led
to fatal consequences.
The Democratic party survived
this effort to bolt and digest it. 1t
lived as miraculously as Jonah did
in the whales belly; and in its turn
it swallowed the Liberal infant.
There is where he child is now
in the belley of he Democratic par
ty, helping to protrude its abdomen
and give it pursy and prosperous
appearance.
There is pa ty in Iowa now try
ing to perform the same feat of d.
gesting hard-boiled Democrats,
with scarcely more gastric juice
than had the Lii erals.

hoary old Democratic backyard

affections supplanted by an igncble
and degrading passion. The abuse
Of intoxicating liquors has reach
ed an alarming point, and it is in
creasing every day. Most crimes
have their origin or are committed
in drunkenness, ninety per cent. OF
our insane have been drunkards
and thousands of women and chill
dren are reduced every day to beg
gary, through the head of the fam
lily. Let those who laugh at the wo-
mems plans, find out better remedy
for the wrong they suffer. 1twould
be better indeed if the men took up
the cause; but they will not. Some
thing good and useful must come
out Of this; there is something to be
done, and it must be done. Alcohol
will be soon in this country what
opium is in China. The whis.
key manufacturers and sellers act
here like the English in China, but
Decentralization does their work and
not the cannon. They have numer'

The following rcgretfal whine
comes from that representative of
New England reactionary Democ-
Grey, the Boston Post. If we
could only re-enslave "thesc cussed
niggers:"
sThe vote in the Senate over the
initiation bill recalls an old legend
which tells how sculptor once
made man out of marble and then
besought the devil to give life to the
image, which being done, the new
ly created man fell to and devoured
the sculptor-an awful warning
against dabbling in witchcraft. We
have given political power to the
negro-that was unavoidable-and
he has sent us enough Senators to
vote new issue of shinplaster cur
rency upon us. If this does not de.
YOUR us up in the end, it will be be-
cause the mistaken step already Ia
ken is retraced."

The Significance Of It.

The Courier DIES Etats Unis,is the
organ ola foreign element, in our por.
ulation, from which by reason of ed
ucation and habits, we are not apt to
look for radical support of the
temperance reformation. The fol-
lowing extract from its columns on
the women's crusade against rum,
is therefore significant. Its clear
perception of the great evil which
is the cause of the agitation, and
its tone of respect and appreciation
for the temperance workers, are in
admirable contrast to the attitude
Of journals representing other for
. eign nationalities in this country:
"The women's crusade has excit-
ed ridicule in some quarters, and
even some saloon keepers have fill
ed their pockets; but is that all +? Is
this the end of the movement A
little reflection will show that such
an extraordinary phenomenon has
not been without cause. 1t is not
without cause that thousands of re-
spectacle married women leave their
houses and kneel in the open air
!. at this season of the year, and ex-
pose themselves to the insult of the
populace. There must surely be
some-a powerful motive; for these
women know what their are doing,
and to what they expose themselves
and yet they face cold and fatigues,
and insult and ridicule, and only
complain when. the men who en-
couraged them, abandon them when
insulted. These women must have
terribly suffered to have such cour-
age, the evil from which they have
suffered must be very deep seated
and tenacious when they place their
last hope in their despair, and the
husbands Of these women must be
brutified and sunken indeed if they
do not understand that on them will
fall the humiliation and the shame
which these woman undergo. Their
business is not to laugh or abuse
Int to enter into, themselves and
measure the abyss which intemper-
ance is making wider every day, to
saw to themselves that . woman en-
rsced in such work represents the
hearth, deserted by the Husband,
: life poisoned. Eai9sd zee
