THE REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVEN
TI0N.

AS the time approaches for the assem-
bling of the Republican State Conven-
ton, the attention of the people becomes
aroused on the subject. The Repubh-
cans, this year, will not permit the
election TO go against them, by default,
as was the case two years ago. There
was then, feeling of strength
in the party, and of a certainty of sue
cess. that caused many to fail IN doing
their duty; and thereby, the opponents
gained temporary victory The thing
is not likely to be repeated. Republi-
canisn is as dear to the hearts of a ma
iority of the people of Wisconsin as it
was years ago; they feel as sure, now,
that it is the party of true progress and
reform, as when during the war, 1t stood
firmly by the Union, and manfully OPP
posed the apologists for the rebellion, in
the North as well rs in the South. The
Republicans viii again arouse to duty,
and will again sweep the country in the
elections to come off this year, and Sc
cure again a National triumph in 1876
In Pennsylvania and Ohio, there seems
but little doubt but the Republicans
will succeed in the State elections the
coming fall. Nor is there any more
doubt in regard to our own State, If the
campaign is vigorously conducted, and
the party stands united and harmonious
in his action. There is every reason to
believe this will be the case. Every in
dication from different parts of the State
goes to show that our friends are deter
mined upon success in November next.
In the Beloit Free Press, we find the
following sensible talk on the subject of
the coming Convention, and what must
be done, if the party would win success:
eve have strong confidence in the
success of the Republican party in No
vember, but that result can only be at
tanned by the most persistent and vigor-
Gus labor on the part of Republicans,
and especially should there be the most
perfect unaninity in the Republican
ranks. We must go into the fight de-
termined that the principles of true Re
publican must win and that all our unit
ed energies shall be devoted to this one
end, regardless of the supposed ''claims"
of any Individual or individuals to Office.
We believe this is the spirit with which
the people will send their delegates to
Madison, and we doubt not the Conven-
ton will carry out the will of the party
by putting in nomination the very
strongest ticket in their power. With
such a ticket in the field and the reawak-
ened, Refrigerated Republican party of
Wisconsin behind it, the past is sure to
be redeemed and the future made glor-
ious with victory"

TIE town of Meadow Lake,

THE town of Meadow Lake, in Cali
fornia, has had peculiar history Not
many years ago it was thriving mining
city, with two or three thousand inhabi-
tants, full of shops, hotels, saloons, and
gambling dens. But the ores of the
Meadow Lake district turned ont REBEL
ious, and. in the height of its prosperity,
the town was abandoned by every man,
woman, and child who had dwelt within
its borders. It's inhabitants had all
gone to more promising region. But
lately process has been invented and
put into operation whereby the REBEL
ious ores can be proftably worked. and
a population is coming into Meadow
Lake again. The pioneers of the new
movement, as they entered the deserted
city, found everything as it had been left
ten years before. The saioonist had
only to enter at an open door marked
'ssample-room to find bar quite ready
for his occupancy, with even the bottles
on the shelves, although their contents
had passed through vagrant neck-bands
long ago. The butcher had only to
bring along his cleaver and cattle-the
stall, with its block and hook awaited
him, with none to dispute his ownership.
The hotel man, too, finds handsom ely
appointed caravansary ready for his
hash-mill, and the first settler took his
pick of all the houses in the place. It
was the very cream of pioneering A
city springs up like Soloman's temple
without the sound of the hammer
throughout It's whole extent. Meadow
Lake Will be the paradise of the lazy
emigrallt.

THE California State Republican Con

THE California State Republican Con-
vention met Thursday at Sacramento
and nominated full licked, with T. c.
Phelps at its head rs the candidate for
Governor. The Convention adopted a
platform in which is contained recog-
nit II of the illustrious career of Presi-
dent Grant, and an acceptance of his
recent letter ASA final settlement of the
third term agitation an ernest and prac-
teal deliverance on the subject of econo-
my and honesty in the administration of
the State and County Governments by
such cIlrtailment of the number of off
GERS and their salaries as will place pub
lie servants on an equal footing swith
business employees in the matter of COM
pensation, and thus abate the general
mania for office-holding a demand that
the State and its common schools be kept
free from ecclesiastical or secular con-
troll declaration of war upon the Cen
trail Pacific and other railroad companies
which deny and resist the right of State
regulation and control of fares and tolls;
and pledge that the Republican mem
bers OF the Legislature will vote for q
fair and reasonable reduction in this
direction. The platform throws down
the gauntlet to all monopolies and cor
porations seeking to plumber the people,
and makes this leading Issue in the
campaign. 1t is such platform as
should rally to its support the Indepen-
dents and fair minded Democrats of the
State, and carry the Republican party to
certain victory

EARTHQUAKE IN VENEZUELA

EARTHQUAKE IN VENEZUELA.-A Pan
anna dispatch of June 4, says: The fol-
lowing particulars of the recent terrible
earthquake have been received by let
ter from Salasar, dated May 10: At II 10
A. NJ. yesterday, the 18th. severe earth
quake visited this city and region. In
this city large part of church fell,
and several houses were destroyed and
some people killed. The city of Cucula
is entirely destroyed, only q few fami-
lies being saved. The Botica Alemania
German drug store was set fire by ball
of fire which was thrown out of volca-
no which is constantly belching oet lava
This volcano has opened itself in front of
Santiago, in ridge called Ell Alto de la
Giracha. San Cayetano was destroyed,
and Santiago in larger part. In Grama-
late there was great destruction. Ar
baledo, Cucuitilla and San Cristobal are
nearly destroyed, principally the four
last. The population of these towns is
estimated as follows: San Cayetano
10000; Santiago 2, 900; Gramalate 5000;
Arboleda 5000; Cucutilla 5000; San
Cristobal 10000. The section of coun-
try referred to embraces the regions
around about where Columbia and Ven
ezuela join the Columbian portion, en-
bracing Santandar. It is in some re-
spects the most productive part of this
republic, and its coffee is famous all
over the world. San Jose Neircuta at
the time of the disaster had a popula-
ton estimated at $4,000. 1t had large
commercial business, and was a great
depot for coffee and cocoa, for shipment
either through the Venezuelan ports OF
down to Magdalena to Panama The
shock was felt sharply at Bogota and
adjoining sections. A gentleman who
was at the time in Facatailvia, says that
the movement lasted for three-quarters
of minute. 1t was also slightly felt in
Bananquilla.

The secretary of the treasury is going
to make an attempt to check the SNUG
Cling of goods by European tourists. It
is estimated that about hundred and
thirty million dollars worth of dutiable
goods are annually struggled into this
country among the personal effects of
persons returning from Europe after
proposes to require all persons landing
on our shores to swear that all their bag
gage consists of goods brought for their
personal use alone. But as long
as an oath is regarded SO lightly, this
precaution will prove Intellectual This
sort of smuggling, though as disreputa-
BILE as any other, will continue just as
long as the authorities permit it. The
seizure and confscation of few trunks
containing valuable goods, would be
more salutary than bushel of oaths,
sworn on a stack of bibles.

WILLIAM II. TWEED, the ''boss" thief
of New York, and till lately the leader
of tue Democratic party of that State,
has been released from prison by the
judgement of the Court of Appeals.
This ensures the Democracy of the En-
pire State one more vote; places the
veteran chief once more in the vanguard of
the Democratic hosts, and restores him
to his vocation, which he declared to be,
on his arrival at the prison, that of n
statesman Gov Tilden and other new
magnates of the old party will now please
abdicate. We congratulate the city of
New York upon the ''Boss's" restora-
ton, and nominate him as the Democrat
ic candidate for President in 1876. Until
the convention meets, let him be APP
pointed gauger of Democratic stills in
New York, with authority to print his

A. T. STEWART is having bad luck
with his clerks of late. They will steal.
The last discovery was made just as the
culprit was being buried, and a consid-
cradle quantity of valuable silk and vel
vet was found in his room. The fellow
was quite an ordinary thief, with the
exception that he was the possessor of
IA pairs of pants, and this peculiar TACT
has rendered him famous. The papers
are all describing his extensive wardrobe,
and to his love of dress is probably due
his thievish propensities, and the wide
publication of his shortcomings.

this worthy is evident in the following
paragraph from its issue yesterday: It

scribed by Law, namely, the second

ers for the current year consists of Prof.
S. S. lockwood, of Whitewater; Prof.

Applicants for certificates will be ex-
amined in the following branches of
study:

cate, the branches of study now required
for 1st grade county certificate, with
the addition of English Literature, and

this grade must present satisfactory evil
dence of successful teaching for at least
nine terms.

present themselves for re-examination in
such studies within one year. A re-ex-

interest of the State and the profession
that these certificates should be largely
