sidercd impossible by the attending
physician a correspondent Of the
American tells the remainder of the
story as follows:
Mr.. Neils statement was taken
by a magistrate, in which he swore
that Bill Porter. of Pennington,
was the assassin; that lie recognized
Porter standing at the fence with
the gun, after he (Neil) had fallen.
Porter is now under arrest. He
WAS under suspicion in regard to
horse stealing and was arrested
by Neil, bat, there not being suili-
Client proof against him, he was re

option bill, is followed in yester-

Col. Burch and a republication of
Gov. Browns veto message, in
which he shows the unconstitution-
ality of the bill. Col. Burch gives
several of DIR. Baird's statements a
categorical denial, and winds up by
asserting that ''for personal integ-
rity and sturdy, manly virtues Gov.
Brown is no whit the inferior of DIR.
Baird" DIR. Baird charged that the
veto was eorruptly procured by the
use of money. The charge was so
absurd that we had hardly consid
cred it worth a denial. The mes
sage itself is vindication of Gov.
Brown. DR.. Baird surely did not
investigate the matter, or he was
incorrectly reported.

The next session of Congress
does not promise to be one in
which there will be much legisla-
ton. The few memb ers already o.
the ground appTehend that nothing
more than passing the regular ap
preparation bills will occupy the at
tention of the session. There is to
be a decided opposition among the
members of both political organiza-
tions to any extra session, and the
strong probability is that there will
not be one.
That a large per cent. of the yell
low fever deaths in Memphis we're

that Superintendent Phillips says

mates at 5000. Seven thousand
dollars were allowed the City En-
dertaker, and an additional claim is

MRS. SENATOR BRUCE.
Washington Society Agitated Con-
corning Her Expected Debut.

Washington Correspondence Chi
cago Inter Ocean: Senator Bruce,
who has been travelling in Europe
with his bride since his marriage,
in June, is expected to arrive here
soon, and has engaged a handsome
residence on Capitol Hill for the re-
mainder of his Senatorial term,
which expires on the 4th of March,
1881. There is some social agita-
ton here with regard to the manner
in which Mrs. Bruce will be receiv-
ed by the swells of Washington.
She is OF fine personal appearance,
an octoroon. She was q school
teacher in Cleveland, but her nus
band has sufficient wealth to graft
fly any taste she may have in tie
way of personal -adornment, and it
is whispered that wardrobe pur
chased by her in Europe would be
priced By any of our bellies. 1t is
requirement of official etiquette
here, that all the Cabinet ladies,
and the wives of Congressman, shall
make the first call upon Senator's
wife, and the wives of the older
Senators always make the approach
to an acquaintance with the wives
of new Senators. Mrs. Bruce will
experience no embarrassment from
the treatment she will receive from
Mrs. Evarts, Mrs. Sherman and the
other Cabinet ladies, and Mrs.
Hayes intends to make Mrs. Bruce
ut home at once by her cordial
greeting. 1t is said that Mrs. Bruce
will be invited to attend Mrs Hayes
at the first Presidential reception.
The only colored Senator's wife
who ever attempted an entrance to
Washington society was Mrs. Pinch
bach, six years ago, and, being both
beautiful and accomplished, she
was not only treated with civility,
but was made quite a lioness. 1t
may be that Mrs. Bruce will receive
similar treatment. 1t will be no
ticed that there will be no negroes
in the next Congress, unless o. Hara,
of North Carolina, gets certificate,
which is doubtful.

James X. Ryder as a Bolter.

James K. Ryder's treachery to the
Democratic party in 1870 has not been
forgotten nor forgiven. He went into
the Democratic convention as candi-
date for senator and was defeated.
He then took the nomination from a
Peoples convention and labored hard
for success. He spent his money freely
to defeat Mr.. Woodman. the regular
nominee, and the other candidates
upon the Democratic ticket. This
was only eight years ago. 1t must be
fresh yet in the recollection of Wood
man and his associates who have only
to look over their memorandum of dis
dursements at the time to see what
Ryder's bolt cost them. Five hundred
dollars would not make Woodman good
for his "extras" in the campaign, made
necessary by Ryder's candidacy. And
all the other candidates suffered CORES
pondingly. Hundreds of Democrats
are going to pay Ryder off now in his
own coin. And he is the las; man in
the world who has any right to COM
plain.

The Senatorial Candidates.

county for the last 25 or 80 years.

to Office in his town, and from his as
sembly district, but Ryder never
One is exceedingly popular: the other
is not. The last time Phillips run for
the assembly (lS76) the vote of Lake
Mills was 81: Wcodman 80. This
year Ryder's vote there cannot come up
to that of Woodman two years ago,
while in Waterloo at least 100 Demo
Gratis will scratch Ryder. This shows
the estimation in which the two men
are held at their respective homes
where they are best known and where
they have friends, if anywhere The
facts here stated should satisfy people
living in other portions of the country
as to the merits Of the rival candidates,
and should influence them to vote tor

U. Ex-senator.

With reference to this question OF
U. S. Senator which SO agitates the
Watertown Democrat and the Jefferson
Banner, it is proper perhaps to remind
those papers that they are needlessly
borrowing trouble. The Republicans
are going to have good working ma
jority in the legislature this winter
without the vote Of Charley Phillips,
and so far as the election of U. s. Sena.
tor is concerned his vote is not going
to be needed on our side. All the
appeals of the Democrat and the Ban.
mer to vote for Ryder on this account
therefore amount to nothing. Demo-
Gratis who. have any idea that they are
going to carry the state show that they
are poorly informed as to the disinteg-
ration which has been, and is, going
on in their party, and of the utter i'm
probability of its success. Let nobody
be deceived by the cry that j. K. KY
der's vote can possibly be of any avail
in the Legislature on the senatorial
question, for it will not be even if he
is elected. The senator to be chosen
is sure to be Republican.

A Campaign Lie.

The Democrat says that "Charley
Phillips can not write at all-not even
his own name" Now, while the edi,
tor was about it why didn't he say that
Phillips don't know his cs. Pos
sibly he will supply this omission in his
next issue. But what does he expect
to make by telling such stuff as that?
Does he take his readers for fools?
Does he suppose that Charley Phillips
is not known by them? Why, bless
your dear, innocent little soul, Charley
Phillips came to this county before you
were born-he was being chosen by his
neighbors to responsible positions in
his town when you were yet in your
swadd!ing clothes, and he has always
enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
the people among whom he lives. For
several successive years be has repres
ented his town in the board of super
visors, and upon three occasions he has
been elected member OF assembly
defeating such staunch and popular
Democrats as j. D. Waterbury, M. r.
Clapp and W. W. Woodman, in dis
trict which is between 800 and 400
Democratic. That don't look as if
Phillips is a nobody, does it? But we
hope the Democrat will persist in
claiming that Charley don't know any
thing. That kind of talk will help
Ryder greatly-over the left.

"Damn the..Dutch."

The Democrat says that our story
about James K. Ryder's "damuing the
Dutch" is stupid Republican cam.
paign lie." We propose to show that
it is neither stupid lie, nor Repub-
lican lie, dor any lie at all. The only
''stupid' thing about the matter is the
denial by Ryder and the Democrat of
what was stated, for they have now
provoked publicity of the facts
which would not otherwise have been
given. 1t is exceedingly unsafe to de-
nounce as false any statement made up,
on the authority of such men as W. H.
Folendorf and Peter Janisch, of Water
loo, for they are not persons who talk
at random, nor do they shrink from de-
Tending what they say. The affidavit
which follows has been in existence
some time, yet we refrained from pub
fishing it, not caring to do anything
which savored Of unfairness towards
Mr.. Ryder. We made the statement
originally by way Of explaining his
great unpopularity in Waterloo, and not
for the purpose especially of disparaging
him. There the matter would have
rested had not Mr.. Ryder allowed his
zeal to run away with his decretion,
and put in denial where his policy
was to keep silent. Having done this,
it only remains now for US to substan-
tiate our statement by the introduction
of the following affidavit:

calculated to shine in the halls of leg

will read it carefully, and then tell US
