THE LAST SINISTER MOVE
NEWT.

The Governor of IPisconSin has eS-
alted ideas OF his powers, and thinks
himself even as great as the court Of
the District of Columbia. A citizen OF
Milwaukee,, deeming himself libeled by
thatveracious sheet, the Chicago Times,
and having complained to the Cover
nor, that functionary has issued re-
QUESTION on the Governor of Illinois
for the body of Wilbur A. Storey, editor
of that journal. We are afraid it will
not be granted at any rate, Storey
doesn't appear to be at all alarmed.
Wisconsin needs another Governor
badly. How nicely these political
shystors would adjust Mr.. Storeys case
if there was no State line running
across from the Mississippi river to
Lake Michigan, between Chicago and
Milwaukee. It is just so with some
farmers and lot owners. They would
be the owners of great deal more
land if their neighbors were not so
tenacious in putting in claims TO GER
tain lines which intervene, The man
who assumes to be the Governor of a
State and has no more respect for the
laws and lines of an adjoining State,
should be put on the trail of Sitting
Bull. The out lawing of the one is no
greater than the other and they should
travel together.

BLOOM TO WNSHIP Oh UB.

On Thursday evening, August oath,
1876, the Democracy Of Bloom town.
ship, met at the Chestnut Grove school
house, tor the purpose Of organizing a
Tilden and Hendricks Campaign Club.
The meeting was called to order by
thr Committeeman OF the district and
the following permanent officers were
elected President, Adam Weber; Vice
Presidents, d. W. Chilson, VIM. Hen
ry, Geo. Kolb, Jno. +. Stull and VIM.
Lyons; Secretaries, Jno. Clary and
Geo. d. Smith the additional officers
TO be elected at the ensuing meeting.
The organization is TO be known as
the Democratic Tildcn and Hendricks
Club, of Bloom township, and will
meet on every Thursday evening at
Chestnut Grove school-housc. The OBJ
ject Of the club is 20 bring about a
change In State and National affairs,
to turn out of Office the men who have
been found guilty Of using the public
money in thieving way, and, in a
nutshell, to turn out of Office Presi.
dent who has proven himself incom.
petent TO govern the American people.
1t may be said by Republicans that
Grant is not now the candidate of their
party, but we reply that the only diff
ference is in the name, as they are
pledged to no change Of policy, and If
Hayes should be elected, the country
will still suffer under the rule Of Grant,
Belknap, Cameron 4 Co. All who be-
lieve in reform, and are desirous of q
change in the administration, oil who
desire TO clean out the nests of the
Grant administration, are invited to
join with us, and thus aid in securing
the desired end by electing Tilden and
Hendricks at the coming election.

The Radical Hayes and Wheelerites
heldanother Of their weakly pow-wows
in the Opera House, on Monday eve
ming The attendance was pretty fair
but the speeches failed to create any
enthusiasm among the followers of the
party. Hon. ]. B. McEnally address
ed the meeting, on the subject of the
late war, and practically ignored the
issues at stake in the present cam
paign. He seems to think, like Kill
patrick, that "a bloody-shirt campaign
with plenty of money" is the only
thing that can possibly keep the Rad.
ical candidates from shipwreck and ruin
this fall. His speech was unsatisfac.
tory to his Republican friends. 1t was
void of reason or argument, and much
of it lacked good common sense. He
ridiculed the idea of reform, and
thought any party would steal and
make mistakes when in power. This
may be so, but we do not see it in that
way. After Mr.. McEnalIy was through,
Soldier" Mcdonald jabbered while,
and then Murray pronounced the ben
ediction. Radicalsm is on It's last legs.
This is a noticeable feature at their
gatherings. The people feel the neces-
sity of a change, and the party lash
will fail in its efforts to drive them to
the support of the Radical candidates
in November next.

COMMERCIAL TIDES. - The recent
movements in the price of oil and coal
are enough to frishten the trader. The
advance In the former, and the depre.
citation of the latter, is truly wonder
ful, and if brought about by the laws
of supply and demand will do good in
the end, but if forced by combinations
and commercial strategy, (rascality)
will do great harm to producer and
consumer. The Butler Herald, in al
luding to the wonderful rise in oil, says;
"This week witnessed what three
years Of time previously had not, and
that was s4.00 oil. At last dealers in
the crude are beginning to see that
the daily consumption is some eight or
ten thousand barrels more per day
than the production, and this has, TO-
gether with the amount destroyed by
fire this year, "eaten out the life," so
to write OF the surplus on hand. The
consequence has been that oil now com
mands good price and If we are not
much mistaken will command greater
before oil is over There may be huc.
tuations-prices may tall one day only
to be succeeded by higher the next.
Such things are natural and occur in

THE " 8 SUPREME COURT.

This highest tribunal known to our
laws, although terribly dcmoralizing
in the past fifteen years, seems TO be
crawling back TO the old Democratic
landmarks. The odious distinction
made in favor Of the negro race In the
XlVth amendment to the United
States Constitution has recently been
ignored by decision rendered by Chief
Justice Waite, aud concurred in by oil
the Judges but two. A New Orleans
negro, named Sayvient, brought suit
against a saloon-keeper Jos. A. Walker,
of that city, Tor refusing him refresh
ments. The darkey lost his case in
the Lower Court, and appealed it to
the State Supreme Court, where he
found similar tate. Then he appeal
ed to the United States Supreme Court,
and also lost his case there. Thelearn-
cd Judge, Waite, said
$50 far as we can discover from the
record, the only federal question de-
cidcd by either one OF tho courts below
was that which related to the right Of
Walker to demand trial by jury not
withstanding the provisions Of the act
OF 1871 to the contrary. lie insisted
that he had constitutional right TO
such trial, and that the statute was
void TO the extent that il deprived him
Of the right.
All questions arising under the con-
stitution of the State alone are finally
settled by the judgment below. We
can consider only such as grow out of
the Constitution of the United States
By article VII, of the amendments ii
is provided that sin suits at common
law, whsrc the value in controversy
shall exceed $50 the right OF trial by
jury shall be preserved" This, as has
been many times decided, relates only
to trials in the courts of the United
States. Edwards VS.. Elliot, 2l Wall,
557.) The States so far as this amend.
ment is concerned, are left to regulate
trials in their own courts in their own
way. A trial by jury in suits at CON-
mon law pending in tho State courts
is not, therefore, privilege or immu
nifty of national citizenship which the
States are forbidden by the Fourteenth

THE PRIMARY ELEoTIoN.-Our pre-
liminary party struggle comes off on
Saturday, the 10th. The names of all
the contestants for the several offices
to be filled in our county, and in the
district this fall are now before the
people. The first inquiry the citizen
must make before casting his ballot tor
candidate, is this Is he honest2 Ishe
competent? Being satisfied on this
point, the votermust ask himselfi in the
second place, the question, "Who will
add the most strength to our party
Does he possess any elements of per
sonal popularity over his competitor 2
And in the third place, is he worthy
or deserving of the position he seeks
to fill? Personal claims is the very last
thing to be considered in political can
vass, because no one man is any better
than another in this county, and there.
fore, all meet on common ground. II
will be observed that there is no con.
test for Congress, Assembly and Jury
Commissioner, and that Messrs. Mack
ey, Tate and Burchfeld have the field
to themselves. Those gentlemen are
all honest and competent, and deserve
the full party vote at the primary. Foi
Senator, Sheriff, Associate Judges and
District Attorney, there Is plenty oi
good material, and if our party friend:
act upon the policy indicated, the very
best men will of course be nominated
and triumphantly elected.

our meaning. The former body con

3O1 members and the necessary officers,
and spent only s3OO,62O.2O, nearly
$4,000 less. Now, why should IA
men spend as much money for inciden-
tails as 3O1? We can only solve the
problem in this way: The room con-
tanning the 3O1 men is controlled by
Democrats and the other by the Radi-
cal-post-traders, cadet sellers, etc.
