Our neighbor across the street is
an unfortunate scribbler. In his
last paper, he makes a very unjust
attack upon the attorneys for Baker,
charging that through connivance
the hearing and decision of the case
have been delayed. The facts are,
as we gather them from the attorneys
for both parties, that the court itself
asked a delay in hearing the argu-
ments, remarking that such a course
would not delay decision. In pre-
pairing the case, nearly everything
was stipulated by consent Of all the
attorneys on either side, thus saving
time. So, it is evident that Bro.
PhiIIeo's philippe is uncalled for,
unjust and unfounded. A friend at
our elbow suggests that he get P.
5. stereotyped-"apology (or re-
traction) next week.-Mrs. he has oc-
casion to use it in each issue.-I31b-
2G21e.
Jack, we don't want any ''P. S."
neither apology Cor refractory next
week, stereotype arrangement at all
We don't gig an inch. Facts are
fats, and we repeat that every effort
has been made to delay action upon
this question which ought never to
have been brought before the courts.
If Bakers attorneys did not wish to
delay the matter, why did they not let
the case be determined upon it's merits
instead of making a motion for dis
missal from the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court? Had Mr.. B. and
his attorneys been anxious to get at
the equities Of the case what mattered
it if the Attorney General had not
been made party to the action? The
question Of the legality Of the regis
tration could have been determined
and the case settled, and it would have
been determined and settled had the
defendant and his attorneys been actu-
ated by any principle of honor We
reiterate, it was subterfuge,-an eff
fort only to retain power and position
a little longer.

The FOLLOWING from the Wiscon-
san State Register is too true to permit
it to be lost to our readers, many of
whom do not see the Register. Injus-
tice to the editor of the Tribmne,-
Jack, not Levi,-we will state for the
edifcation of the editor Of the Regjs-
ter that he has never countenanced the
"Wood Co. Deviltry." Mr.. Baker,
the ''usurper, loves Jack as he loves
Philleo,-with IN everlasting eternal
hatred, such as a rascal always nour-
ishes towards those who expose his
villanies. With much humiliation we
present the graphic picture to our
readers.
Wood county is the very Thermopy-
ln Of reform politics in this state, and
Jack Br undage is its Leonidas No
paper is more constant, persistent or
determined that everything in the
shape of repubicanism, so hateful,
shall be eradicated from the body po-
lite, and REFORM" so beautiful, .shalI

organ, and its editor swears that he is
''anti-republican from stem to gudg-

without intermission, except for
drinks.
But then Wood county is the place
where taxes are the highest of any
place in the staye; where the public
debt is the greatest-amountlng to

Sam Burchard says Sat Clark, or
any one Of the seventeen conspirators,
would make better governor than
Taylor.
Bragg on Taylor: "But while we
admit that he is weak and worthless.
we must acknowledge that he is COM

When Gov. Taylor read the Senti-
nels report of the Plankinton House

others see him.
"He has been seen by the railroads. "
Gen. Bragg said that of Taylor, and
not one OF those seventeen reformers
stood up to deny the charge.

Taylor is an old ignoramus, wholly
unfit for his place, says Gen. Bragg,
Retormer in good standing, and late
Reform candidate for the United
States Senate.

lor could be organized, there wouldn't
be grease spot left of him after the

The Sentinel got the only report OF
that anti-Taylor meeting There is
one yerandah in front of the ladies

the Sentinel reporter.

and B. r. Hinckly, Of Oconomowoc.

applauded and failed to call Bragg tc

The Madison Democrat writes out a
fictitious report of the anti-Taylor
meeting in this city and publishes
it as correspondence It is altogether
too thin. The Sentinel reporter is the
only one who got a report of that
meeting. The halls were guarded.
as well as the adjoining rooms. and the
reporter was compelled to get out of
a window some distance away, and
crawl along the coping until he reach
ed the vernanda in front of the room
where the consplrators were at work.

The COUNTIES of Williamson and
jackson located in Southern Illinois,
north of Cairo, have been the Gene of
lawless outrages that make the blood
run cold, the past two weeks. This
section was noted during the war for
its disloyality, furnishing two or more
rebel regiments. The people belong
to the class known as the lazy blacks
and are reckless and vicious. Loyal
settlers have been driven from their
homes, or murdered in their cabins.
The marauders differ from the old style
Ku Klux in that they have polite
way of informing their victims of the
day when they may expect to be fog
ged or hanged to cottonwood limb
for their loyalty. The most intense
excitement exists through Southern
Illinois which will undoubtedly culmi-
nate in the complete routing of these
unlettered desperadoes ere an't'r month.
L. would seem that = old issues" are
not wholly dead, as the Democratic
party would have the enlightened vot-
ers believe.

AN OFFICER Of the Chicago & North
western Railroad stated yesterday that
his company expected to do the largest
freight business this fall that they had
done for years. The wheat and other
crops along nearly the whole Of their
numerous lines were excellent, and the
westward shipments Of merchandise, in
anticipation Of a prosperous fall trade,
were already very large. He believed
that better times were coming for ev-
erYbody.

The BANK OF CALIFORNIA, the
heaviest monied institution of the Pa
cifc Slope, closed its doors last Friday.
This monied institution has been long
power west of the Rocky Mountains.
It has moulded the political history,
and controlled the finances of the
West. Its suspension is occasioned by
reckless dealing in mining stocks and
by financial gambling. The President.
Ralston, lived in princely magnifcence
while the Bank was more a palace than
an institution of finance. The liabili-
ties foot up many millions. Late re-
ports state that Ralston has committed
suicide.

HE REFORM press have endeavored
to make it appear that the ,SentiaeZ's
report OF the anti-Taylor meeting was
q canard, but as to discomft them five
of the 'conclave'' have come out with
an ably written article in the Milwau-
kee Sentinel, virtually acknowledging
the whole thing, and expressing most
emphatically their objections to the re-
nomination Of Gov. Taylor. The I've
are among the choicest spirits in the
Reform ranks, and are looked up to as
men Of standing and infuence-men
not easily swerved from well defined
policy nor apt to arrive at premature
conclusions. The News pretends to
have known but little about them here
tofore, and would convey the impress
sion that all are sore heads, when the
absolute truth, is, each, and every one
OF them have worked faithfully in the
interest Of the cause they have es-
poused with so much heart, and would
to-day be battling for reform ethics"
If statesman rather than an unstable
''ignoramus" were in the gubernatorial
position, whose charlatanism and dem
agoguism have disguised not only the
party at whose hands he received his
nomination, but the whole people as
well.

a great sin. No doubt. Let's see:
First they were Democrats; when
that name became "putrid'' they be-
came Liberals; then Liberal Repub-
