SENATOR CARPENTER DEFEATED.-A
telegram dated Madison. wis, Feb. 8.
says: 1.-The Legislature in joint conven-
ton this morning elected Angus Came
ron United States Senator. The result
was brought about by a coalition of
Democrats with boiling Republicans.
The latter offered the Democrats four
names from which they might choose a
candidate, namely: Judge Cole, ex-Gov.
Lewis. Gen. Guppy and Angus Games
ron. The Democratic caucus last night
conditionally upon his acceptance of a
platform that includes hard money, lar
if for revenue ou,v, and the supremacy
of civil authority in time of peace

in the State Legislature, and was Speak

including Senator Carpenter, but one
Judge Cole-,oted for Mr.. Lincoln in
1860, when Wisconsin gave him 10000.
Among the prominent leaders OF the
Republican party then, were James H.
Doolittle, Alexander Mitchell, now Dem
ocratic Member of Congress, Mr.. Sloan,
then Republican Member Of Congress,
now Reform" Attorney General. etc.
The Democratic leaders then included
Matthew Hale Carpenter, for Brecken-
ridge, and Messrs. Lewis. Guppy, Cam
eron, and F. W. Horn, the present Re-
publican Speaker of the House. for
Douglas. None of these gentlemen, we
believe, in changing their party changed
their views upon any of the political is-
sues now alive. Carpenter and Came
ron are alike opposed to protective
tariff and in favor of the supremacy OF
civil authority in tine of peace. Both
called themselves Republicans and were
active members of the Republican par
ty. Either would have accepted the
election on the platform prescribed to
Cameron, without any qualification of
their professions. With the nomina-
ton of Republican party caucus and
thirty Republican majority in the Legis-
lature on joint ballot, the defeat of Mr.
Carpenter was unquestionably defeat
of his party, but the election of another
member of the same party. by bargain
and sale, can in no sense be claimed as
a Democratic victory. 1t shows, how
ever, the general tendency to disinte-
grafton OF present party organizations;
the dethronement of King Caucus.

MURDER rRIAL.-The trial of Edward
Seybert, aged II years, for the murder
of his father, Charles Seybert, on the
-23d day of February, 1874, occupied the
District Court considerable portion Of
last week, and closed on Monday, Feb.
8, by a verdict of not guilty.
In the course of the trial the follow
ing facts were elected: Charles Seybert
lived at Berwick, Pennsylvania, and
married Miss Writ, of the same place,
in 1858; soon after became engaged il a
difficulty there, killed man and fled to
Washington Territory with his young
wife and settled on WILDLY Island
Evidence showed tina. lie used brutal
violence to his wife during pregnancy,
and that after Edwards birth this vios
lence continued. The boy was always
regarded as of weak mind. Mrs. Sey-
bert was divorced by the Territorial
Legislature in 1862. resuming her maid
en- name of. Writ; went to San Francis
co, taking her two children with her,
and again married. Seybert went there
in 1873 and induced Edward to come
back with him to Snohomish, where he
was then living with a squaw WIFE
Brutal violence continued. Edward had
been out hunting, lost his gun and was
absent two or three days without food.
When he returned his father threatened
to kill him if he did not find his gun the
next morning. The squaw wife had
fled from Seybert's violence, ami the
father and boy were the only occupants
of the house. IL the night the boy got
up, put his blankets in q canoe. went
back, and with an axe killed his father
as he lay asleep in bed. Six cuts were
found upon the body, either of which
would have been fatal. He then went
back to the canoe, padded down to ths
mouth of the river and from thence
along the beach to Seattle, where he
was arrested and freely confessed to all.
The prosecution was vigorously con-
Quoted by Prosecuting Attorney Nc
.Conaha, assisted by MIR. Hanford, and
the boy prisoner was ably defended on
the ground of mental imbecility, which
was sustained by the verdict of the jury
and generally concurred in by public
sentiment.
Application will be made to have the
boy placed in charge of his mother to
be removed to San Francisco, which we
think would be proper course. His
mother has sat by his side throughout
the trial. evoking general sympathy,
especially from The ladies who have at
tended the trial and evinced lively in

tion at the result.

laden with soap. entered the mans
mouth, and IN bis sudden surprise he
shut his jaws down hard. The barber
said he was very sorry, and all that. but
the victim jumped down, spit the soap
out, crushed on his hat, and left the
shop with the lather still foaming on
one side of his face. He didn't say a

CheOoygan Timber Business.

.
Although the timber business of this
place during the past season may not
have been as large as some years in the
past, yet the figures show that it has
been of no mean proportion, Through
the kindness of Mr.. Charles Wilkie. un-
der whose supervision the shipping has
been done, we are enabled to give our
readers an idea of the business. Up to this
date six schooners have been loaded by
Mr.. Wilkie, the America, Groton. Nam
zanella, AlbatrOss, Emerald and Shandon.
the three last named being loaded the
week just past. OF the timber shipped,
$4,000 cubic feet was "wany" white pine.
which ranks as the best grade, $4,000 cubic
feet of Norway, $4,000 cubic feet Of
square white pine, making in all 10000
cubic feet shipped. In addition to the
timber were thirty-five masts and Spars
The timber was all shipped on account
of Ross & Co., of Quebec, and all goes tc
that market, from which place it is to be
forwarded to Great Britain and Europe
In addition to the timber busines, Mr.
Wilkie has superintended some exten
sive improvements upon property be
longing to the firm on the other side o
the river, in the way of clearing, ditch
ing and stumping to the amount of sew
eral thousand dollars. This work ha
greatly enhanced the value of the prop
erty as well as its appearance. The.
have also built one of the largest ant
best barns i'll the place. We trus
that Mr.. Wilkie will remai
here in connection with the business o
the company, for he is pleasant an
energetic business man whom it
always a pleasure to meet.
