BEAUREGARD AND THE "BLACk
FLAG. The proposition to include
Confederate soldiers and officers in
the invitation to the forthcoming re-
union Of soldiers and sailors of the
United States, at Chicago, drew from
Gen. Frank Sherman protest
against including Gen. Beauregard in
the call, on the ground that be is less
soldier than pirate, having advo-
Gated the murder of prisoners taken
by the Confederacy. Gov. Foster, of
Tenr essoe, probably doubling this
assertion, wrote letter Of inquiry to
Gen. Beauregard, inquiring if this
was true. Beauregard replies in the
affirmative, defending the proposition
by the plea that if it had been done,
the war would sooner have been
brought to an end. But he says, be
would have excepted the women and
chillren from slaughter. He re-af-
firms his belief that it would have
been far better for the war to have
been conducted under the "black
flag" and thinks his "high and holy

The Lieutenant Governorship.

For the second place on the Reppb-
lican State ticket several names have
already been suggested in the differ
ent newspapers of the State Those
prominently mentioned as candidates
for the nomination cf Lieutenant
Governor are Senator III. d. Barron
of Polk county, Hon. j NJ Bingham
of Chippewa Falls and Senator J. C
Holloway of this county. Mr.. Ho!-
loway has served in the State Senate
for four years past and has represent.
ed his constituents to their g neral sat-
isfaction. He has proven himself to
be good legislator and a watcbful
guardian of the interests of Grant
County. Few there are among men
who bear better name for honesty
and sobrlety, or for the faithful per-
Torrance of duty imposed. Sena-
tor Holloway is popularity known
throughout the State, and is eminent.
ly qualified for the position of Lieu
tenant Governor. Therefore we may
expect that he will be strong can
dda.e for the position. Upon this
subject we quote from the State press
as far as noticed
The Da lngton Republican says !:
"a rumOr is current to the effect that
Ell. d. Barron, Senator from the Gath
district, is likely to be candidate
before the Republican State Conven-
ton for nomination for the office of
Lieutenant Goyernor. Mr.. Barron is
man of large legislative experience
and very good ability, and would un-
doubtedly make very good officer
We believe, however, there are other
men in the State whose nomination
would add more strength to The tick
ct, and be more acceptable to the
people. 1t is very probable that this
Congressional district will present
such man to the convention.
The Chippewa Herald, published at
the home of Mr.. Bingham, says: GA
Milwaukee correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune mentions the name Of
Hon. ]. NJ. Bingham, ofthis city, az a
probable candidate for Lieutenant
Governor on the next Republican
State ticket. This is an error. Mr.,
Bingham is not a candidate for that
position, but heartily supports Sena-
tor J G. Holloway, of Grant, for that
place."

EDIToRs' REUNION. - The nine
teenth annual reunion of the editors
of this State will be held at Milwau
kee, probably in June. The editorial
association of Wisconsin is one of the
oldest, if not the oldest, in the Union.
Yet it is one of the youngest in the be-
stowal Of practical benefits upon the
craft Heretofore during the sessions
too little time has been given to the
business interests of the fraternity,
and excepting one or two days the
balance of the week has been annually
spent in huddled, heated, dusty
railroad train on a tour to some lake,
resort or timber patch. We think the
programme of the annual convention
canbe greatly improved by alternating
the business and pleasure parts. One
wear let the association devote its time
entirely to work directly Of interest to
the craft, ond the next to social re-
union and excursion.

Before concluding, | hope your honorable
Board Will pardon my referring once more to
the subject of direct taxation. Our city is
now at a point in her prosperity and develop
ment where oppressive taxation alone can re
tard her progress. 1t is in vain that we can
show how every dollar has been honestly ex-
pended. Our constituency will require US to
show that every dollar has been wisely expend-
ed. Will our constituency say to US "Well
done, good and faithful servants" while last
years taxation of almost three per cent.
stares them in the face Gentlemen, it is i'm
possible for us to prosper under such an OPP
pressive tax. Capital, always sensitive will
shun us. As a consequence, our population
will not increase rapidly, and depression will
certainly Overtake US. We have engaged i'll
too costly Improvements for CITY of our pop
ulatiOn, and we should pause and consider
whittier we are drifting. Let US lower our
taxes, encourage manufactures, and build up
our population, and when our city is thickly
settled, it will be time to go on with costly
public improvements
Such is Harrison Ludington, who
will probably receive the unanimous
nomination OF the Republican party
# Wisconsin for Governor, and who
will doubtless be triumphantly elect
ed to q station which be will honor
by correct, faithful and honest adj
ministration of affairs for the people

The New Attorney General.

Judge Edward Pierropont, the late

tical experience and sound mind are
stamped ineffaceably upon all his
acts. His public documents are
models of clearness, dircctness and
foresight, and impress the reader with
the intelligent thoroughness of their
treatment of official and financial
matters. We close this sketch by
citing few extracts from May or
Ludington's recent annual address to
the Common Council of Milwaukee.
Concerning extravagant outlays in
the erection and furnishing of school
buildings in that city, be says:
In advising strict economy to be applied in
the management Of our public schools, | beg
not to be understood as not desiring that every
facility should be given to aid their advances
ment, and insure their efficiency. They are
our most sacred trust-existing in the pres
emf, but deeply affecting the future. Every
necessary requirement needed for the comfort
and advancement of the pupils should be
promptly given; but all unnecessary expense
and extravagant outlay in erecting and fur
nishing school buildings should be discontinue
ed. Ii must be admitted that, as rule, our
school buildings are entirely too architectural
and expensive, while they are neither commo
dious nor convenient. Excellence in educa~
ton, not in architecture, ought to be the aim
of our public schools
He opposes the practice of securing
laws applicable to the city by State
legislation forced by lobby interfer>
ence:
OF late years, the practice of lobbying spec
ial and questionable legislation, to apply to
some particular grievance or personal inter
est in the city, has been broadly INDUCED in.
There is no doubt about the power of the Leg
isaturc to pass such laws, but there is very
strong reason to question the wisdom and
Justice of such course. The Board of Al
dermen elected from the different wards of
the city, having clear and accurate under
standing of the wants of their respective
wares, as well as of the city in general, are
the only competent authority to decide what
legislation is needed for the proper government
thereof respectfully recommend that your
honorable Body viii discountenance any legis
lation eifecting city interests which has not
been originally considered and approved By
your honorable Board. 1t is high time that
the abuse Of lobby legislation be pointed out
and corrected.

to his charge:
Smith robbed a stage in Oregon sonso

less felt secure, but however secret his
movements, the keen eye of the deiec-
tive still discovered traces sufficient to
guide him in his determined and per-
sistent chase, and Smith is, after all his
strenuous efforts, involuntarily on his
way to the Genes of his depredations.
The woman, Jenny Montgomery, was,
it. appears, a married woman, and
abandoned her husband in Oregon to
follow the fortunes of Smith. The
prisoner is in the prime of life, hearty
and robust, and Judging from his per-
sonnet would prove a formidable alt
versary in a physical contest. His
chances of escape, however, were rath-
er slim, from the fact that three officers,
including Underwood, attended him,
and as a measure of additional safety
a shackle and heavy chain was attached
to his leg. We have understood that
Smith at one time drove stage in East

Telegrsphic advices, published here
with, state that the Bulletin and Call
proprietors yesterday commenced a
suit against the Alta tor alleged libel,
the damages being laid at $4,000. j..
w. Simonton, who has a proprietary
interest in the Bulletin and Call, and
who u also agent Of the Associated
Press in the East, recently published a
lengthy card in the New York Times,
justifying the course Of those papers in
connection with the late financial panic
in san Francisco. In commenting
upon Mr.. Simonton's card, the Alta
took occasion to animadvert severely
against the Bulletin and Call, and the
result Is the libel suit instituted yester
day. We consider it extremely doubt
full 1t the case is yer pressed to a hear
ing. Following is the libelous portion
Of the Atlas article:
It Is true that Messrs. Fitch and
Pickering have RENTED large amounts
Of money TO Mr.. Simontnn-but what
for To speculate in stocks and to take
advantage of the panic, phich they
str0ce to make as disastrous as possible.
The Associated Press dispatches, of
which we have complained, were pur-
p0sely used to affect the Stock Market
in New York. and this can be proved.
Simonton admits that his partners
sending him money At the time
he was advising them that the bank
would fail. We believe that he lies
when he Gays that not q word Of s'these
premoniiions" wa given to the public
until after the failure. We recollect
that the Commercial Advertiser, in
New York, one of Simonton's recent
mouthpieces, predicted trouble in CAL
ifornia two OF three days befnre the
failure. We satisfactorily show
that . deep-laid conspiracy was made
to break the bank; that tho Bulletin
and Call were the tools of the parties
operating for q mutual interest, and II
there was one s'staunch friend" Of those
Journals among the directors Of the
bank, we can point out the reason
Of such friendship, and the probable
treason that was committed, as we'll as
also the motive Of Il. We are only be-
ginning to get at the bottom Of this
great trouble. and when the truth Is all
told, the most damnable conspiracy

treason will he brought to light.
