TEE COUNTY ,uDSEsEle.

We feel highly complimented by
the result OF the Democratic-R Reform
Convention in nominating VIM. Hop
per, ESQ, for the office of County
Judge, for besides being a good olti-
zen he is of known Republican pro-
clivities, and endorses many Of the
leading measures of the Republican
party. 1t is not many months since
his enterprising son and partner
sought the office of Postmaster at
Linden, and no doubt would feel
complimented by the appointment
at the present time. Bat while We
congratulate our friends upon their
choice as a candidate for that office,
we are none the less ardent in urg-
ing the election of our own candi-
date, Capt. john L. JONES, as a mau
who possesses al the qualifications
of Mr.. Hopper, besides being vastly
his superior in all matters requiring
knowledge of the law. la the set
Element OF, every estate questions of
considerable legal Importance are
sure to arise in adjusting claims
against tie estate, and in distributing
the property belonging thereto
among the heirs and devisees. In
determining the validity Of wills,
and IN passing upon the rights Of
parties holding contingent claims
against estates, some of the most
profound questions Of law arise, and
the better lawyer the Judge, is the
better qualified is he to solve the
problems presented by contendiug
parties, and do even and exact
justice. Mr Jones is well known to
the people of the county as a con
sistent Republican, and a conscien-
tious, clear headed man, and one
who, if elected, will give bis entire
attention to the duties of the Office,
and is competent to perform them
single handed and alone.

press OF thiS DlSlllcJ IN the iuattet
of the Surveyor Generalship OF Da-
kota. That the public may have
/ the benefit of the information the
letter gives us, and to testify that
our disposition is to do the Senator
/ Justice, we viii state briefly the de-
tails of the case as given by him:
Soon after the election last fall,
W. Pitt Dewey and Geo. c. Hazel
ton 0 obtained from Senator Howe a
promise to exert his influence when
necessary to secure the reappoint-
ment of Dewey as Surveyor General
of Dakota In December, while
Senator Howe was at New Orleans,
Congressman Nagoon recommended
to the President Col. John q. Clark
as successor to Dewey. Clark's
name was sent by the President to
the Senate, and his nomination con-
frmed In few days, and before
Howe's return to Washington, Sena-
tor Wright, of Iowa, moved q re
consideration in which position the
matter was on Howe's return. When,
wishing TO redeem bis engage
ments," and not knowing that
Dewey's appointment "was distaste-
fuI to man in the Sd Congressional
District" the Senator says: Il saw
"the President told him presumed
"Clark was just as good man as
dewey; but, in entire ignorance
"that Clark wanted the place, | had
promised to help Dewey, and there
''fore would like to have him with
"draw Clark's name and send in
dewey 5, = " " and he
"said he would be glad to make the
correction, and did so" lmmedi
ately, numerous kilograms and let
tiers from Wisconsin urging Clark
| appointment convinced both Wiscon-
/ sin Senators, who were now acting
1 together, that they had made a mis-
take, and induced them to appeal to
! Dewey to release them from their
Obligations But Pitt wasn't on
the decline :" so the Senators had to
Gud some other road out Of the diff
iiculty, which they did by dropping
both Dewey and Clark, and taking
up third man, Espersen, who,
Howe was assured, is competent
and deserving" but who, the Platte
vile Witness indicates, is no i'm
\ provement on Dewey.
Senator Howe implies that Mr.
Magoon might have saved all the
trouble by consulting him QIowe)
before securing Clark's appointment,
/ Undoubtedly Mr., Magoon knew of,
or had reason to suspect the Seua-
tors promise to Dewey, hence he
had no ground to hope for co-opera-
ton and very naturally proceeded

THE RESULT.

The result of the April election is
not all that we desired, hut we shall
strive TO bow with becoming grace to
the will of a majority of those who
have expressed a preference for the
candidate of their choice. There is
of course, no doubt of the election of
Hon. VIM. P. Lyon as Associate Justice,
there having been no organized oppo-
sitiOn to his election. E. b. Bundy,
of MenomOnie, was elected to succeed
Judge Humphrey, of this Judicial
Circuit, by majority of about l,20O.
We hope to be agreeably disappointed
in Mr.. Bundy as a Circuit Judge, and
will venture that should he prove a
satisfactory officer, all the way a
change can be secured during his nat
ural life will be by sending him to
Congress. By a majority of 529
Mr. H. p. Ames, of Ellsworth, has been
chosen to succeed p. ID. Pierce in the
office of Probate Judge and he will
doubtless make an efficient officer, as
he seems to give general satisfaction
in the position which he now occu-
pies.

HAYES ADMINISTRATION.

While we were not particularly rad
zeal and enthusiastic in our support of
RIB. HAYES as a candidate for the
Presidency we believed HIM to be an
acceptable man and a representative
of those principles the ascendaney OF
which would promote the best inter-
ests of the country. The result of the
Presidential contest for months having
been involved in doubt, the respective
candidates received more than the
usual degree of attention bestowed be-
tween the day of election and that OF
Inauguration, and the probable course
of each in case of his election received
much speculation at the hands OF
thinking men everywhere. Hayes
letter of acceptance had the ring Of
true metal and his inaugural address
was one of lofty sentiment, betokenlng
| the advent of a new era in the polltl-
cal history of the nation. President
HAYES is i'm fair way of amieably adj
iusting the serious political complica-
| lions in the Southern states, proper
settlement of which would prove OF
inestimable value to the whole coun-
try; he has called about him coun-
ell of advisers in full accord with him
| in his desire to administer the laws
in the interest of the people rather
than political bummers, in conse-
auenee of which each department of
| the governmental machine is TO be
thoroughly renovated and all super
numerary clerks and useless expendi-
turas cut off; his ideas Of civil service
reform meet the hearty approval of
the people though they make the 'old
stagers'' in Congress vince little as
they see slipping through their hngers
the prestige of the appointments
which they have hitherto almost alb
solutelv controlled. The pacification
and reconI iHstion of the South and
a check to the abuses which have
grown up under the system OF Federal
appointments are evidently two sub
iects which will receive the special at.
tention of the President, and they are
questions in which there is a field FOL
great improvement, affording opportu
mites for the building up of name,
.the lustre of which time will not dim
while history shall last.

UNwISE LEGISLATION ON COR

RY CHARLES A. CARSON, A. N.

By anew school law of New Jer-
sew it is enacted, (Sec. 80) "That no
teacher shall be permitted to infliet
corporal punishment upon any pupil
in any school in the State" This, /
believe, is the first instance of the en-
tire prohibition of corporal punish
ment in school by state enactment.

THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT

EDITORS JOURNAL: In speaking of the
next Republican State Il cket, you close
by saying ''for the Office of Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction we have
not seen the name of any one" This
is good proof that educational men are
not generally Office seekers.
Allow me TO mention the name of
the gentleman to whom the teachers
of this State are at present turning
with remarkable unanimity. l refer
to Hon. W. H. Chandler. of sun Prairie.
Thoroughly conversant with the needs
of our Common Schools; familiar with
the Institute work; literally disposed
toward the University; and in entire
sympathy with the efforts of our Nor
NAL Scholastic seems above all
others, to be peculiarly fitted for the
Office with which his name is hereby
connected.
With Regent Chandler on one ticket
and Supt. Soaring on the other, we
may rest assured that, whichever way
the political wind blows, the educa-
tional Interests of this State will be
well served. Respectfully,
A. EARTHMAN.
The suggestion of Prof. Earthman is
a pertinent one and well worthy OF
| consideration. But few men IN the
State have manifested as great degree
of interest in the cause of education as
has Hon. W. III. Chandler. Many of
our readers have enjoyed the pleasure
of listening to remarks from this gen
tleman touching educational topics,
| and all who have done so know that
his whole soul is enlisted in the work.
We feel assured that with the Depart
ment of Public Instruction in charge
of Mr.. Chandler it would be presided
over by competent and worthy OIL
eial, and that all the means at his com
mand for the promotion of the educa'
tional interests of the State would be
employed.-EDs. Journal.
