judge Kidder.

The Johnstown {Pa.) Voice and Echo,
whose editor, j. F. Campbell, Demo-
crat, spent the winter in Washington
says:
"During two months sojourn at che
National Capital, we have mingled
much with the leading representatives
Of both parties and been close observ-
or of events-especially the success with
which the solid business-like represen.
tatives meet with in the transaction of
public affairs as compared with that of
the charlatan and the demagogue- a
class which is unfortunately predomi-
nant in both branches of the Legisla'
ture. Among the vast amount of rubbish
| to be found in the Congress of the ma
| ton it is pleasant relief, bright
oasis on the broad desert of political
imbecility and falsehood, to find a mem
ber whose characteristics are personal
integrity, conspicuous ability, and close,
persistent application to duty. Such
a representative is shining mark when
mediocrity is the rule instead of the
exception. OF this class the Hon. JEFF.
ferson P. Kidder, representative from
the far.of Territory OF Dakota, stands
pre- eminently in the front rank. His
is no new face on the political kalied-
eseope. More than twenty years ago
the people ofthe state of Vermont ele-
vated him to the position of Lieaten-
ant Governor, although then, as now,
to elect the candidateof the Democratic
party. of which he was then leader,
was looked upon as the miracle Of the
age, and it was only. through his per-
.sonal magnetism and persuasive elo.
.quence on the stump that he was ena-
bled to ride in on the victorious horse.
Following the starof empire on its
westward course, he turnod his back to
the Greea Mountain State, and emigrat-
ed to the then Territory OF Minnesota
locating in the city OF St. Paul, where,
to this day, he retains hosts Of person,
al friends and unbounded popularity
among the people.gf Here his many at
tainments found full scope and soon
gave him rank ss leader instead Of q
follower. After the admission of that
Territory as ! State, he was, at differ;
snt perieds elected TO and served ia
both branches of the Legislature with
credit = bimssif And honor to his adop-
ted State, In 1864 President Lincoln

shot and wounded six miles from here
by white. man named Hathaway. A
warrant was obtained here, and posse
OF white citizens went in pursuit. They
captured Hathaway this morning In a

and which the citizens had surrounded
and watched all night. He was lodged
in the parish jail. The colored people
cheered the citizens along the road.
Hathaway, n stranger here, came afoot
from Texas about three weeks ago. Only
one man was seriously hurt; he will re.

conditions concludes as follows: "Al-
though the Porto has said lis last words,

remains for them to signify, by collec-

should resist their united counsels. Her
unbending attitude almost warrants the
suspicion that 10 save her own dignity in
the presence OF her vassal she is waiting
for the pressure Of those Powers, which,
