LINCOLN AND SUMNER.
EXTRACT OF CARL sCuURz'S EULOGY
OF SUMNER.

Abraham Lincoln was a true child of the
people. There was in his heart an ineAbaustible
fountain Of tenderness, and from it sprung that
longing to be true, just and merciful to all, which
made the people love him. In the deep, large
humanity of his soul had grown his moral and
political principles, to which he chung with the
fidelity OF an honest nature, and which he defend
cd with tile strength OF a vigorous mind.
But he had not grown great in any high school
of craftsmanship. lie had, from the humblest
beginnings, slowly and laborjously worked him
self up, or rather he had gradually risen up with
out being aware of it, and suddenly he found
himself IN the foremost rank of the distinguished
men of the land. In his youth and early man
hood he had achieved no striking successes that
might have impaired to him that overweening
self-appreciation which SO frequently leads self
made men to overestimate their faculties, and to
ignore the limits of their strength. He was not
q learned man, but he had learned and meditated
enough to feel how much there was still for him
to learn, His marvellous success in his ripper
years left intact the inborn modesty of his nature.
He was absolutely without pretention. His sim
plicity. which by its genuiness extorted respect
and affection, was wonderfully persuasive, and
sometimes deeply pathetic and strihingly brill
liant.
His natural gifts were great he possessed a
clear and penetrating mind, but in forming his
opinions on subjects Of importance, he was so
careful, conscientious, and oifident, that he would
always hear and probe what opponents had to
say, before he became firmly satisfied of the just
ness of his own conclusions-not as if he had
been easily controlled and led by other men,
for he had a will of his own-but his mental ope-
rations were slow and hesitating, and inapt to
conceive quick resolutions. He lacked self-re-
lance. Nobody felt more than he the awful
weight of his responsibilities. He was not one of
those bold reformers who will defy the opposition
of the world and undertake to impose Their opini-
ons and will upon a reluctant age. With careful
consideration of the possibilities of the hour he
advanced slowly, but when he had so advanced,
he planted his foot with irmness, and no power
was strong enough to force him to a backward
step. And every day of great responsibility en-
larged the horizon of his mind, and every day he
grasped the helm of affairs with a steadier hand.
1t was to such a man that Sumner, during the
most doubtful days at the beginning of the war,
addressed his appeals for Immediate emancipa-
tion-appeals impetuous and impatient as they
could spring only from his ardent and overruling
convictions.
The President at first passiveIy resisted the
vehement council of the Senator, but he babe the
counselor welcome. 1t was Mr.. Lincoln's con-
slant endeavour to surround himself with the best
and ablest men of the country. Not only did the

LEWIS COUNTY.

The result Of the election in this
county, IN relation to the candidates
for tho House Of Delegates, is especial.
~ matter Of cOngrutulation to the
Democratic party. 1t has proven
that our Democrats-no matter how
they have differed heretofore, will not
allow Republicans to profit By our lit
tie family difficulties. Every promi.
ncnt jacob Democrat in tho county,
went nObly to work for Wilson aud
Chidester: and tho result is blow at
Radicalism from which that party in
Lewis county will not soon recover.
On general principles, the Democratic
party here is firmly united; and in
the attainment Of this cOnsummation
50 devOutly wished, the jacob Demo.
Gratis are entitled to all praise.
Look ut the matter as it stood !:
The Republican Candidate-NIr. Nc
Whorter-was one of the most popu.
lar men in tue county. Nothing could
truthfully be said against him as q
citizen or a public officer. The Re-
publican party could not find in the
county better man, entertaining
their views. And against him three
gentlemen protesting to be Democrats
Mr.. Chichester, Mr.. Mathews, and
Mr.. Kcarns. were urrayej. Every.
thing seemed to bOtoEcn disaster.
But at the right timc-whcn it was
evident that uniting upon Chilcster
vas our only chance Of success, both
Jacob aud Camden Democrats came
out shoulder to shoulder, aud bnttled
calamity for the Skin Creek Farmer.
The odds against US seemed over
whelming, But thanks to tho true
Democrats Of the cOunty-DemOCrats
who desired the sucscss OF principles
rather than the advancement Of iHdi.
uiduals, rally was made in behalf Of
Cbidestcr; and wO have the happy
privilege OF announcing his election.
Three cheers for tho Skin Creek Far
mer and the united Democracy Of
Lewis.

A LIGHT VOTE.


As will be seen by the returns from
tho various districts Of the county, q
very light vote was pOllod at every
precinct. The season is one Of the
busiest Of the year with tho farmers ;
and the usual apathy prevailed among
the Democratic voters. The Repub-
licans turned out well and We are in
formed that at the town precincts hard
ly Republican vas missing.
The total voting population Of the
county is considerably over 2,00e ;
aud II appears that only 1900 votes
were cast-but little over half Of the
entire vote. AT least 500 Democratic
voters remained at home, when duty
most solcmnly called upon them to DO
ut the polls.
Enough turned out, however, to
griovously di,appoint the hopes Of the
Radical brethren. Tor week or
more prior to the clorii9n the Ropub-
licans had been fguiing on from 100
to 200 majority for Golf; and the re.
suit in tue county (and more especial
ly about town. was a terrible blow to
them.
Notwithstanding the light vote cast,
there is now no doubt as to the politi-
cal status Of Lewis county. The ma.

ers held meeting at the Produce Ex-

condemning the action Of the Erie, New
York and Pennsylvania Railroads in re-
luslng free lightersge deliveries OF grain
in lots Of less than five car loads from the
point Of shipment, and not allowing small
lots 10 be aggregated so as 10 make five
cars as being q step backward, which will
reflect great loss upon the trade Of New

sary discrimination against this and in
iavor OF other markets; and they believe
that this action will prove detrimental to
the interests Of the railway companies,
who, having encouraged and built up this

confer with railroad representatives upon
tho subject.

argued for an injunction to compel the
Prairie du Chen division OF the Milwau-
kee & St. Paul railroad to obey the Potter
law. This division was excepted from

it had an old Territorial charter which
was not subject TO the provision in the
State Constitution reserving the right to
alter or repeal. A general act passed by
tho Territorial Legislature in 1889 has
since been discovered containing exactly
the same provision that was atterward in.
corporated in the State Constitution. The
Court reserved its decision until the Goth,
