BOND FORGERY.-The cases OF Mrs. hose.
berry, (now Mrs. Boyd,) Charles G. Boyd, T..
H. S. Boyd, and ]. T. Wayne, the parties i'm
plcated 10 the forgery of registered Treasury
bonds belonging to Officer Conway, were called
in the Police Court in Washington yesterday
afternoon. The cases we're tried separately, and
that Of Wayne was first taken up.
MIR. H. Jennison, chief of the loan division,
Treasury Department, identified the original
bond for 81 000 No. 7,406, 10 the name of
John Vac Zlnt, trustee for Mary A. Rose berry.
J. W. Frazee, notary public, testified that
he executed the transfer on the 4th of March,
1874. and that his seal was stamped on the
bond; did not know the party who signed the
name of Van Zant; there were four parties pre-
sent when the transfer was made, one OF them
personating Dr. Van Zant.
DR.. John Van Zant was shown his name on
the bond, and testified that he did not sign it
himself, nor authorize any one to do II; he was
appointed trustee for the estate of the late Mr.;
Con way, and Invested the money in registered
bonds placed them temporarily in the keeping
of Mrs. Roseberry, with instructions to take
good care of them.
Cross-examination: Witness, on the 4th of
March last, was either 10 this city or 10 Falls
Church, Va; Is brother to Mrs. Roseberry,
one of the accused.
Joseph Dreamer testified that Mrs. Rose
berry Introduced Wayne to witness as Dr. Van
ZaDt: he identified Waye as the party who sign
ed the name Of Van Zant to the note.
Other witnesses we're examined, when the
Court reserved his decision temporarily.
The next case called was that Of Mrs. Rose
berry The same witnesses were again cxaDln-
ed, and the testimony adduced was TO the effect
that Mrs. Roseberry went to the Office of the
notary public With the other parties and signed
the bond Tor making the transfer. She also
negotiated the sale of the bond. :,
The court also reserved its decision until all
the cases were heard, and without proceeding
further at o'clock adjourned until this morn

A Practical ANSWER. the Indian
apois Journal: 10 the absence of teacher
last Sunday, Superintendent Knppenberg, of
the Garden Baptist Sunday school, took charge
of the class himself-some six bright boys. To-
directly he had occasion to speak of the two
roads, one leading to heaven and one to hell,
and stated that God had placed the Bible in
our hands to direct US to the right road, and
waro US from walking in the road which leads
to ruin. The superintendent, wishing to illus
trate the importance of finger board, asked
the boys:
Boys, have you ever been in the couu-
try2"
Yes, sir.
Ibid you ever come to point where two
roads met, and found no 6nger-board to direct
you?"
Yes, sir"
what road did you takep"
"The road that had the most black walnuts
on it, was the quick response OF one of the
bright lads. MIR. K. found the answer too
much, and with loud smile replied, that
right, boys, go for the black walnuts.'

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1874-10-15

CONSIDERABLY has been said recently
in regard to sending Matt Carpenter to
the United States Senate again. In our
opinion, if the Republican party in Wis
consin is SO weak as to be unable to
throw that salary-thief and Long Branch
hummer overheard, it should be an OBJ
ject of pity to those who desire to see
honest men in Congress. This is to the
front, but we are In cold earnest. Car
penter is milestone around the neck
of the Republican party, and unless
cast off, viii sink it with him. Did he
contain one iot of honor or decency IN
his makeup, he would boldly come to
the rescue Of the party which has
honored him in the past, by stating that
he was not q candidate for Congress.

ATTORNEY General Williams has sent
to Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, an answer
to his recent protest against the inter-
ference of United States officials in the
police regulations of that State. The
basis of the opinion is the report of Dis
trict-Attorney Murry, of Tennessee, who
says that he has inquired into all the
facts and is ready to say that the United
States can and ought to try all the per-
sons supposed to be concerned in the
Gibson County outrages. Upon this
warrant, the Attorney General proceeds
to show Gov. Brown that the United
States is fully justified in trying muir
derers in Tennessee and he even asserts,
with reckless disregard of facts, that
the right of the General Government to
interfere in the manner indicated has
never been seriously questioned Very
opportunely our Washington correspon-
dent sends the opinions of four eminent
United States Judges, all of them Re
publican, which are are directly in the
teeth of Attorney General Williams con-
illusions. We believe that the insolent
attitude of the national authorities
towards the Government of Tennessee
will be resented by all intelligent men
at the North who have at heart the well
fare of their country.

DECLINES THE NOMINATION.

Col. John Cochrane, the gentleman
nominated by the Fond du Lac Con-
ntion last week to represent this
District in Congress, has declined to
&C ,ept. A meeting of the District Com
IN ;ttee will be held in Sheboygan to-
morrow, and some gentleman placed in
the fled who viii impede Burchard' s
march to victory-if the victory should
be his. We have heard no cause as
g .gned for Col. Cochrane's dehnatlon.
His nomination established the fact,
at least, that the Republican party In
Wisconsin is in sympathy with tie
frmers and opposed to monopolies.

Ii is now claimed that Rindskopf is
ineligible for the Office of Congressman,
from the fact that he was not naturalized
until November 20, 1872. The United
Constitution requires that q Representa-
tive shall have been citizen at least Z
years. Sans friends claim that his
father was naturalized years ago in Vir-
ginia, before Sam was of age: others
state that Rindskopf, ST., in 1868 swore
that he was an alien. The report creates
considerable excitement. The fact that
an indictment hangs over him for de-
frauding the United States Government
viii be sufficient to deny him seat in
Congress.

TIE new law for the prepayment Of
postage on newspapers has been found
to be deficient In that it does not provide
for the purchase of scales with which to
weigh the papers. -Four thousand scales
of large size viii be required, and the
various manufacturers throughout the
country have been in Washington to get
the contract for furnishingth The department
with the requisite articles. Owingto the
lack of an appropriation for the purpose,
however, no contract viii be awarded.
It is altogether likely that the cost of
the scales viii eat up thekprincipd part
of the revenue the first year, and when
the law is repealed, as it probably will
be, the government viii be enabled to
go into the secondhand scale business,
with large stock on hand, which
nobody will want to buy.

WHY REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE
SENT TO THE LEGISLATURE.

More depends upon the County
elections this year than generally, mas
much as United States Senator to I'LL
the seat Low occupied by Matt Carpen-
ter is to be chosen by the next Legisla-
tr1re. The fact that Alexander Mitchell,
the Prince Of the railway monopoly in
Wisconsin is the choice of the Demo
cratic Reform party, that position is suf-
ficient to make the honest voters of both
political parties move in this campaign
with caution, and to cause all those In
favor of the supremacy of the people
over railway monopolies to enter their
protest against the election of a man
whose whole interest, politically and in
a business point of view, is to enact such
laws in Congress rs will once more set
the heel of oppression upon the necks
of the people of this State. The safety
of the people against this outrage de-
ponds upon the success of the Repubh-
cans in sending majority to the Legis-
lature. We acknowledge a Democratic
majority in this county, but maintain the
opinion that there are enough voters IN
the two parties who are opposed to OPP
preston to unite and send man to
Madison who is pledged to prevent the
election of Alex. Mitchell, and to elect 8
man who is in sympathy with the people
and against monopolies.
| The Milwaukee News, the acknowledged
organ of the Democratic party in Wis
| consin, has always declared the Potter
| law a farce-has cried out against it as
an outrage and oppressive to railroad
managers, and has stated time and again
that the law must be repealed by the
next Legislature. The opinions of the
News are the opinions of majority Of
| the Democrats in Wisconsin to-day
Do the honest laboring men wish to
have the law repealed? Do the farmers
want the railroad magpates to lord il
over them as in the past? We believe
not, and considering the fact that {
Democratic Legislature is pledged (ac
cording to its organ) to so repeal the
law, we ask, first putup man in whom
the people can depend; and second
join with the Republican anti-railroa6
party and send a Legislature to Madi
son who viii show monopolists that {
long suffering people have determined
that the railroad shall be subservient tx
the people. We do not claim the Pot
tor law is perfect; what we want is tt
show railroad corporations that they art
not above the law, and in no manner car
it be SO easily effected as by sending {
man to Congress who will take sides
with the people against their encroach
! ments

ANXIOUS REFoRMERs.- NJ

ANXIOUS REFORMERS.-The NOrI
Westen has the following named Re-
formers on the anxious seat:
For Senator-Joe. Rankin, A. Witt
mann, Joe. Villas. Carl says he has
heard has name mentioned in that con-
nection, but does not want the nomina-
that he has served his
country long enough. We admire his
modesty!
For Assembly, Northern District
Joe. Rankin and A. Whitman will take
the nomination if they fail in securing
the other. The Nord Westen thinks
Rankin has held the position in the as
sembly long enough to carry great
weight and influence in that body, still
he should give way to some man from
Two Rivers, Mishicott or Two Creeks,
and mentions as available candidates
Messrs Oswald, Richter Wilkens, Fisch-
bein, of Two Rivers, Tisch, Lindstead,
Terens, Wehousen, of Mishcott, Pfunde1
and Reuss, of Two Greeks.
In the Western District B. S. Lori
gun, Thos. Mohr, Candle, johnson and
others are mentioned.
The NOrd Wesfen invokes the Reform
ers in these Districts not to ALLOW any
''caucus-pacling," and thus prevent
what Carl denominates q farce being
made OF it again. Evidently Carl thinks
there was some tall packing done in this
county about the time the Congressional
delegates were chosen.
