Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1876-11-10

The Dispatches received up to
Wednesday night, the 9Th, may be
briefly summed up as follows:
Tilden carries New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, and
oil the Southern States, with perhaps
the exception of South Carolina ana
Florida,--the latter two being In
doubt. His election is assured IN
less South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida have all gone for Hayes,
of which we have no very strong
hopes. According tc our circulation
the vote of either OF these three
States cast for Tilden elects him
and being all reported Gin doubt
claimed by both parties-we cannot
force ourselves to believe that some
one of them will not be lost.
Returns are too meagre and dis
connected to determine positively
the political complexion of the next
House of Representatives, but it will
probably be Democratic. In Wiscon-
sin the Democrats gain one, and per-
haps two members - Bouck being
elected In tho Oshkosh district, and
and perhaps Harlow S. Orion in the
Madison District. The Eighth Dis
trict, where Cate (dem.) was elected
two years ago by fraud, is reported
very close. In this, the 3D. District,
Hazelton is elected by 1900 to
1900 majority. The other Repub-
leans elected are Williams in the
lst District, and Humphreys in the
eth. Democrats of course elect
Lynde and Bragg, in the 4th and
5th Districts. There is nothing in
dicating how the Congressional can
didates Jared in other States, except
that Butler and Banks arc elected
in Massachusetts,, three Republicans
In Minnesota aud an increased num-
Der in Illinois.

The Bone of Contention.
the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The movements of the late Repub-
lican Convention at Nashville, re-
minds us most st:ikingly of similar
picture, which we deem appropriate
and worthy the caption of this ar
ticle.
Not long since. we noticed an OLD
rancid bone lying in the road, when
a couple of quadrupeds Of the fee
specie approached it from opposite
sides in a cautious manner. When
they got within a few feet of it they
came to halt. staring at each other
wildly out of their eyes, seeming
bent on solving each others business
there. While thus engaged in cast
ing inquiring and fanciful smiles
upon each other, a huge, gruf and
ill-natured old fellow happened on
the scene, who walked between them
to where the bone lay, picked it up
in his mouth and walked off without
castisg a glance at the disputants,
who were remaining in their posi-
tions as firm as the rock of Gibraltar.
The Republican Convention was
bone of contention from beginning
to end, aud the result is that bone
has got the Republican party into
more trouble than it can get out of
the next ten years to come. They
did not deem the magnitude of The
Gubernatorial question sufficient to
tack la it-thuS theV have lost it.
Porter will step in between Yardley
and Thomas and carry of the Cub
ernatorial honors, while those gen
tlemen will be left in the rear to
scratch and gouge each others eyes
out, and ponder upon the foolishness
of ambitious lives. Then, too, some
body else will see in the future that
his .foote is into it so deeply that it
is past doctoring. JAKE.

FOR THE PEOPLE.
BY GREY-BEARD.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
No man can take into another
world his monetary gains Of this.
Rapacity may grasp for a few feet
ing years what might do good to
thousands, but the hand relaxes at
the portals of the grave, and all is
left behind. There is probably not
one rich man in a thousand. who.
when he reaches the confines of the
spirit-laud, and there meets the
ghost of mispent years, but regrets
that there is no time left him TO do
good to his fellow man. At that
time. shams fade, and all things are
seen in their real character; then
how pitiful will appear the arts
used to heap up riches by sacrific-
ing principle, it may be, upon the
altar of thrift.
Make money honestly, if you can,
otherwise make it not at all and if
made, dispense your charities dur
ing your lifetime.
"Whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he reap" is an memorable law.
which nothing save Almighty pow
er, can contravene; and yet there
are many who conceive they can
evade it, and from the seed, incidence,
reap abundance or, from the seed
Indulgence, reap the fruits that spring
only from enterprise and economy.
Vain man! sooner attempt to stay
the ocean wave, or remove yon
mountain from its rock-bound base,
or quench the suns fiery blaze, than
to evade an immutable law! IF ye
SOW to the flesh, ye shall of the flesh
reap corruption; if We sow to the
spirit. We shall of the spirit reap life
eternal" Be not self-eonceited you
are no wiser than your fathers,
though you may think you are.
Tyranny is we'll nigh universally
execrated, and yet it is exceedingly
prevalent. Many men are tyrants
by nature and disposition, who do
not suspect it, and are loud-mouthed
in condemning others. An official
tyrant is to be execrated, but the
meanest of all tyrants is the house
hold despot. Placed by Divine econ
omy at the head of the family, he
assumes absolute control, and mani
tests no Difference to the Judgment
or wishes of his wife in matters of
domestic regulation. All things are
made to bow in humble submission
to one iron will, and that will is in
execrable law to wife and children.
Affection dwells not long in such
household. Girls, study long, truly
and we'll the disposition of the man
you purpose marrying, or else you
may be linked for life, to petty
despot. Sooner, far sooner, live and
die ''old maids"
War is a curse, and is but seldom
justifiable; it is a curse that reaches
far and wide, and its evils end not
at its close. It's a curse alike to
the victor and vanquished, and some
times a greater curse to the victor
than the vanquished. While the late
war between the States wasted the
wealth of the South, and reduced
the people to poverty, it also wasted
the morals of the North, and plung-
ed it into deep degradation. The
South will recover it's wasted wealth,
before the North will recover its
wasted morality, and since it is bet
ter to be poor than immoral, the
South in truth got the better OF the
fight. Could men see the end at the
beginning, many things would be
done differently, and many that are
done, would be left undone.

The Men who Still Keep up the
War.


From the New York sun
1t is interesting to look at the pa
triots who, during the last session of
Congress, were in the front of all
the mock battles, but who, during
the actual rebellion, never went near
it. Begin with Maine. Everybody
knows what Blaine is In 1861 he
was only thirty-one years of age, vig-
orous, active, and in robust health.
Did he volunteer? Oh, no. He was
engaged in politics and speculations,
and hired a substitute from the pro-
ceeds of his jobs in and out of Office.
His little colleague, Hale, who has
splurged about the House as if he
was a fulI-grown man, was twenty
five years of age in 1861, but his
youthful blood ran sluggishly at the
tap of the war drum, and he stayed
at home, and only became warrior
when peace was proclaimed. His
other colleague, Frye, was only thir-
ty years of age in 1861. but he too.
who is so fierce now, smelled danger
from afar, and concluded to serve
his country by letting others fight
its battles.
Mr.. William Wheeler. the candi-
date for Vice-President, was forty
two years old at breaking out of the
rebellion. but he never thought of
shouldering musket. He found a
seat in the House more comfortable
and safe Mr.. Hoar at thirty five
was a man of peace, but at fifty his
voice is for war.
On the side of the Senate, the
bloody.shirters shone by their ab-
sence when volunteers were called
for to crush the rebellion. Edmunds,
who after Morton leads the fray, was
33 Boutwell, was As; Dawes was
45 Anthony was 46; Cragin was
40; Frelinghuysen was "A; Sargent
was "a; Sherman was SO j; but it nev.
er. occurred to one of this heroic
band that his presence was required
to help save the Union. Like Zack
Chandler, they thought bloodlettine
would do good. but they preferred,
as he did, that it should be done by
deputy.
Now these men are as brave as
Julius Caesar. and they mean tc
keep up the war.

A gentleman at Saratoga. after
waving his handkerchief for half an
hour or more at an unknown lady
whom he discovered at a distant
point on the shore, was encouraged
by warm response TO his signals TO
approach his charmer. Imagine his
feelings when, on drawing nearer,
he saw that it was his own dear wife.

any means the only Republican in
