Hon. II. S. Magocn.

A correspondent of the Galena Ca
zette, in speaking Of several Republi-
can Congr essional candidates for NOM
ination, pays the following handsome
tribute to Hon. Ell. S. Magoon:
Mr.. Magoon is widely known as a
frst-class lawyer and legislator. He
is classical scholar, a polished gentle
man, liberal and kind hearted, and al
ways ready to give material aid in any
and every philanthropic enterprise.
He has endeared himself to the peo-
pie by his patriotism and disinlerested
fidelity TO principle, always laboring
not for his own ACKNOWLEDGMENT exclus-
lively, but for the public welfare. His
record during the war commends Itself
to every patriotic citizen. lie labored
as but few have labored, for the per-
petuity Of our institutions, and it is
to the speeches and influence of
such men that we (to great exten)
owe our undivided union to-day. La
the State Legislature he had no super
Tor, if equal, and in all his public
writings and addresses, we find in
them depicted the statesman Of the
highest type. lu view of these, facts
many, very many of the voters, in the
Republican party desire the services Of
| Mr.. Magoon in our National Legisla
ture. In different parts Of the district
there are many men Of very fine at
tainments mentioned in connection
with this nomination, and laying aside
locality, we believe our candidate, il
not the superior, is at least the equal
of apy or all.

ALMOST every breeze from the South
watts to us the news of the murder OF
negroes by white men, for the purpose
of terrorizing the race into tire surren-
der of their political and civil rights and
privileges. IF the Republican party
SHOULD abandon its duty of protecting
the negro in the exercise of the rights
conferred upon him by the Constitution
of the United States, there will, from
appearances, presently be a wholesale
massacre of the colored people of the
south-a long sep toward renewal
of the civil var.

The following resolutions was presented
by DR.. j. w. David, of Muscoda:

Hazelton, and caused to be published in
the Republican papers of this District;
Now Therefore, Wethe, members of this

assert without the fear Of contradiction
that nine y.nine out Of every hundred of
OF were at the time of holding said eau
cuses and still are unalterably in favor OF
Mr.. Hazclton for Congress, and that no
unfairness or improper conduct can be or

Moved and carried that the foregoing

Or Jeff Davis's recent address at
Memphis tie Philadelphia Press
says: "Now, if this address will have
any effect at all, it will be to continue
the outrages upon the blacks, and to en-
courage the under-stratum of Southern
society further til ntimidate them. The
theory which the masked bands and
leauges practice in murders and whip
pings is that government is solely the
white mans function; to labor aud
create the prosperity of the Mississi pi
Valley, that of the negro. 1t is not the
civil but the political rights of the lat
ter which are the cause Of the trou-
bles."

By publicly announcing that 9 will moi
be candidate for the Senate, Mr.. Carpen
ter can do much to redeem our state, Will
he ma Ike the Sacrifce?-MineraZ P0inl
T ri5une.
THE trouble is that, as Mr.. Carpen-
ter has not been nominated for re-
election, he naturally feels reluctant
to make hims If ridiculous by declin-
ing what has not been offered to him.
If the people of Wisconsin prefer some
other person to represent them in the
Senate, we are inclined to believe that
Mr.. Carpenter will not repine. He
has shown no disposition to force him
self upon the party as a candidate, and
we believe that he is comparatively
indifferent upon the subject. The eff
fort he has made in representing the
people in the Senate, devoted to the
practice of his profession, would have
yielded pecuuiary results desirable to
have; and like Antonio, he shas no.
all things to one bottom trusted" II
the people do not desire his services
in the Senate, he has too much good
sense to suppose he can, and too much
good taste to desire to, force himself
upon them. Let the people rally and
elect Republican Legislature, and
their decision as to who shall be elected
senator will be satisfactory to the whole
people, and to one more than to MI r.
Carpenter. He has done his best to
serve the people, and has no expecta
ton that he could do better in the flu
ture than he has in the past. IF any
man can be elected who will not make
any mistakes, it is not only the right
but the duty Of the people to elect him,
and he will receive far more cordi al
support from Mr.. Carpenter than Mr..
Carpenter has received from the Min
eral Point Tribune.
We are adv ised that Mr. Carpenter
has not made the slightest effort to
influence the nomination of any men,
Der of the Legisla ture, and that he will
not. lie simply wishes the election of
true Republicans, and will eheerfully
abide the action of the Legi> lature in
the premises. And whatever may be
the result, as to the Senatorship, he
will stand by the flag and defend the
principles Of the Republican party

The Walworth county Independent

The Walworth county Independent
says: "The Republican party of
Wisconsin, last year, with singular
unanimity, left the election in the
hands of sort Of political providence
while they labored in their workshops,
their stores and their fields, and the re-
suit was the defeat Of a man who, as
governor of the state, had done much
to give the commonwealth character
and the people prosperity. Shall we
repeat this ia II the disastrous expert
ment of last one, and thus gi0e the state
into the hands Of an organization that
represents minority Of the people,
and is hopelessly helpless to accom-
plish any important public undertak-
ing?"

Hon. ROBERT TooMBs is a man of
vast enterprise. His powers have
been somewhat limited for a few years
past, but now he is to burst forth like
a volcano. AT least he says so. In
an interview with New York Herald
reporter he uttered the axiom that
Georgia was ruled by thieves and ne
groes. This thing, according to Robert,
is to be stopped. and before long he
will begin to do it. He says be has
made one revolution, and will now
make another, involving the expul-
sion of both thieves and negroes from
the Irrational political sanctuary"
We trust Robert will begin with the
THE yes first and not tackle the negroes
at the same time. We don't like to
see man over exert himself. We
would like to help him along with tie
first end of the job, and when he gets
through that he will probably need a
little rest. So far as revolutions are
concerned, Roberts first attempt did
not turn out as he expected; and we
don't see much use In his Dragging
about it.--ErcAange.

THE Democrats Of st. Louis, Mo,
have been conducting themselves very
badly. In speaking of the Democratic
primary elections, the St. Louis Repub-
lican Qate Democratic) says: can hon
este effort was made yesterday and last
night by the best men of the Demo-
Gratis of this county to put down the
bummers. 1t resulted in signal and
disgusting failure. The very worst
classes of our population were brought
to the 'front.'" And again: "We have no
disposition to magnify the triumph of
the ring-rulers, however much it justi-
fes our predictions and apprehensions
as to the incompetency of the St. Louis
Democracy to take charge Of our inter-
ests. Last nights doiDgs were simply
suicidal. The Democracy of st. Louis
County can carry nothing here before
the people. Tho patarS will hurry its
local nominations under an enormous
load of obloquy. There will be ceas-
less yearnings for revenge from now
till the day Of election in November. y

ONE of the most melancholy acci-

One of the most incempTehensible
beings in the world is boy. lie is
rarely satisfied with advice or instruc-

whatever falls IN ais way. Several
evenings ago number of boys met at
Wills corner. One older in the ways
of the day than his real age would war

Another had flask of powder Said

powder on the cigar" The request
was no sooner made than complied with.
OF course an explosion followed, and
the boy who poured the powder was
considerably burned about the head
The party was scared, and 1t is rre-

tion will rest possibly during the re-
mainder of their lives. The powder
can was blown to the opposite side Of

heard no noise hut pane of glass
was broken cut Of the window, and the
glass in fragments lay on the floor. lie
conjectured that a stone had been
thrown INTO the room. None, however,
was found. In the morning be request
ed the housekeeper to examine tne bed
ding and the whole room carefully for
the supposed missile. The house
keeper did as instructed. Finding no
thing in the bed or on the floor, her
worst suspicious was aroused aud she
examined the wall across the bed, and
to her horror, there, right opposite to

was a ballet hole. Some one had at
