Fx-Representai.ve Potter is out in a letter
reviewing the political situation, in which
he virtually takes the ground that The Hnr-A
of Representatives h..as the sole power of de-
ternlhihS winner President has been
Iegaiy eh0en or not, and i'm case IL decides
AAa' y resident has not been chosen, IL can
lgN-ted At once to elect. The New York
>-cellGlg Post very properly styles Mr.. Pot
tiers letter "a nest-egg OF revolution" and i'm
reviewing 10 says he makes no allowance for
anything which the Senate may do. or which
the president of the Senate, who is put BY the
Constitution into the foreground of the pro-
ceedings, may do. This responsible officer
might declare that President had been duly
elected, but Mr. Potter would have the House
go on and elect another President. The SEN
ate might differ with the House as TO whether
or not there had been an election, but Mr.
Potter would have the House go on and hold
another election all the same. He makes no
allowance for what the electors, appointed
by the states under the authority of the Con-
stiIution. may do. He puts the House. i'm
fact, above the only federal officer To whom
the Constitution, in terms, gives any control
Of the returns-above the Senate, which di-
Iectly represents the states. He puts IL above
the Constitution and the course of our polIti
cal history admonish US TO respect, no mat
ter how distasteful to rs may be the party or
The persons controlling those states or exer-
cising those privileges. This, the Post thinks,
Il a curious position to be taken by a states
rights democrat.

General Butler, who is in the city. fully ap-
preciates the signal victory he lately achieved
over his opponents in the Congressional race
Messrs Tarbox and Hoar. Relating some of
the incidents of the campaign in his district,
yesterday, he said that Hoar evidently
thought he could walk over the course and
win the race without any trouble. ''When
Tarbox and / were IN the field said the gen.
eral, Hoar said TO himself, Here are the two
little dogs, Butler and Tarbox. quarreling
over q bone. / am a big dog, and will step in
and take the bone away from the little ours 4"
sThe result showed that one of the little dogs
deveicued into a gOOd-sized mastiff, and Sc
cured tl,. bone after all.

A WhOlesaIe Thief.

A man named j. Morgen, by trade a
mason, and a resident .of tie 9th ward, was
arrested last Thursday on suspicion of being
the principal in the thieveres that have
taken place here recently. In fact, on his
premises were found the evidence of his
guilt A portion of keg of fish stolen
from the grocery store of Mr.. e. Sweeney
was found, and evidence was discovered
that Morgen was the perpetratorof the butter
robbery at the store of Mr.. G. Goette. Ii
has also become pretty well established in
the minds of the community that this man
Morgen wa' engaged in the cigar robbery
at Mr.. H. Vaudels q fe W weeks ago, and il
can be proven that he sold some of the ci-
gars to several parties in Milwaukee
Morgen had his examination before Justice
krebs and his trial was postponed for lt
days Meanwhile he was-lodged in Jail.

THE ELECT1oNs.-The result of the cleo
ton in this town was complete victory
of the Democratic ticket with majorities
ranging from Is to IA. By an accident,
however, one Republican W. T. Rambusch)
was elected Justice of the Peace, both par
ties having made the mistake of nominal
inc only one candidate for the full term,
while two were to be elected; consequently
the nominees on both tickets are elected.
Burnett, Trent ton s. Fox Lake elect the
whole Republican tickets, Hon. George Il.
Lawrence having been elected Chairman
in the first named town. The city of
Beaver Dam elects Hon. n. W. Lander
Mayor, without opposition and Republican
Treasurer and Assessor. In Clyman a
spirited contest was had, the result being
the election Of Thomas H. Moran as Chair
man, on a split ticket.

Dragging Out Existence.

The nervous weakly invalid does not
enjoy life, but merely 'dragging out exist
ence,' as the phrase is. Untitled for tie
active pursuits of life, and incapable Of
partaking of it's pleasures, to which health
alone can give zest; disinclined to social
intercourse. and a prey to melancholy, the
valetudinarian is inueed an object Of pity.
Yet there is nothing in all this that cannot
be remedied by that genial Alternative tonic
and nerviue, Hostetter's Stohac Bit,ers,
which supplies deficient stamina, braces the
nervous system, and overcomes those bodi-
ly Irregularities to which nervous weakness
is most frequently attributable. Diseases
of the kidney and bladder, imperfect diges-
ton and uterine troubles are fertile sources
of debility. Their eradication however, be-
comes a matter of certainty when Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters are Systematically
used for that purpose. The bitters likewise
annihilate and prevent fever and ague and
other facilitating febrile complaints of q
malarial nature.
