Judicial Prospects.

A paper at Hudson called the True
Republican gave to its readers the TO-.
lowing:
Judge Mills, of Grant county. who held the
Office OF circuit judge in the Fifth judicial dis
trict. stated in Madison recently that Grant
county alone would give Cothren from 120o to
1900 majority over Cole Mills held the Office
of circuit Judge in that district for twelve
years, aud is good judge ofpublic sentiment
Grant county is the former home Of Judge
Cole, he having lived in Potosi till the time Of
his election in the state would be q settled
fact.
As will be seen by an article in this
paper taken from the Sheboygan Her
aid Judge Cothren has been over a,
Hudson where the "True' Republican
man lives. Judge Cothren while on
his tramp there must have gone to the
fellow and pretended he was Judge
Mills and thus pslmed OF that fisf
story. Il is not 1Sue paper and j,
is not Republican paper. 1t does not
claim the latter and is therefore sail
ing under false coiors at best. Judge
Mills never said that Judge Cothrer
would carry Grant county. He says
he will let the liars lie about him to q
certsin extent without Interference
but this is step too far. 1t is too
big lie. Nobody but fool will be.
Iievs it and only the vile viii assert il.

The first meeting of the Forty
sixth Congress clearly exhibited the
difference between . Republican
Greenbacker and a Democratic
Greenbacker. Congressman Kelly,
of Pennsylvania, the "Father of
the House of Representatives" and
q lifelong Republican (till the fat
delusion seized possession of him),
voted for the Greenback candidate
for Speaker; while Ewing, of Ohio.

cratic Greenbackers, walked right up

The Financial Crash at New Orleans
The Cause.

The readers OF northern journals
have noticed with some surprise that
the fifteen banking institutions in New
Orleans have temporarily suspended
payment. In other sections OF the
country the condition Of monetary az
fairs has manifestly improved, so that
solvency of banking institutions is
more firmly recognized than it was
some months ago. New Orleans ap-
pears to be the exoeptionsj While the
actual movement of the cotton and
the suger crops has been satisfactory,
the condition Of the banks il that city
has beeu otherwise. Why IS this /? is
the natural inquiry, and we shall pro-
coed to answer it so far as we have
gathered the facts. 1t appears then
that the recent suspension has been in
great measure caused by the default
Of the state in the payment of the JAN
uary interest on its bonds. The cir
cumstances are thus narrated:
During the spring of 1877, $22. Coz. 900 ac-
| cumuiated in the banks in consequence Of an
utter lack Of confidence produced by the pres
| idential controversy. When Nichols was in~
] stalled this large surplus was used for specu>
lating in state consols. The banks carried the
bonds on margins. and when the bonds reached
| o. New York and Amsterdam unloaded to the
extent of $40, 100000 The margins by which
| these bonds f0ated were swept out Of exists
ence when the state defaulted upon her inter-
esq. The bulk of the state debt has, by the
course of depreciation, been thrown back up.
on the banks and insurance Offices of the city,
and the threatened reputation, which would
deprive them of the greater portion of their
capital, has created this feeling of uncertainty.
The suspension ordered last night may be pro-
longed, but il is believed sufficient money can
be raised for the ordinary movements Of trade
The disaster is attributed to the imbecility Of
Francis 7. Nichols. who was informed shortly
after his Inauguration of the exact status Of
the state debt. and it is held he was urged tc
terminate confidence and restore the bonds to
European bondholders by vigorous financial
policy; but the gentleman who gave him the
information, and made suggestion which
would have supplied to commerce ample CAPT
tai, was politely told to mind his own busn ess
While the much abused Kellogg
was governor Of Louisiana, the inter
est on the bonds was promptly PAID
and the credit of the state was gradu
ally reviving under that sound finan
cial management. But the Demo
Gratis have had possession Of all the
state Offices for nearly two years, ani
they have swamped the credit Of Lou
isiana by their criminal neglect il
adopting timely and precautionary
measures. We call attention to thil
fact to add one more link to the chair
of evidence that the leaders of tn,
modern Democratic party are becom
ing destructives. In the earlier day
of the national Democracy it was th,
most conservative and thoughtful o
parties on financial questions. Jeffer
son was the most rigid uphoider o
public faith, and he regarded no sac
rifice too great in order 20 maintain
perfect faith with creditors of eithe
the states or the nation. -Mil,cauke

The last number of the Hudson
Star and Times brings us the informa-
ton that Judge 81. nj. Cothren re-
Gently visited Hudson for the parpose
Of working up Democratic support for
himself as candidate for Associate
Justice of the State Supreme Court.
We also read IN the Eau Claire Free
Press that "Judge Cothren, Demo.
cratic nominee for Supreme Judge,
has been in Eau Claire the past day
or two, interview his Democratic
brethren in regard to Judicial mat.
ters," and the Green Bay and Osh-
kosh papers note the fact that "Judge
Cothren" is around 'sseeing the boys"
In Northeastern Wisconsin. Thus,
for the first time, the people of Wis
consin witness the humiliating specta-
Gle OF q Judge OF q Circuit Court
travelling through the state openly ad-
vocating his own election to a seat
upon the Supreme Bench and actively
organizing partisan support in his own
behalf. We thought the intelligent
people of the Fifth Judicial Circuit
would some time be heartily ashamed
OF themselves for galvanizing into life
and placing upon the Bench 40 ancient
and nearly forgotten relic of anti-bel-
ium bourbonism. That time must be
close at hand. Surely the people of
Wisconsin will not commit the shame
ful blunder of retiring from the Su.
preme Court so able and upright a
Judge as Orsamus Cole in order to
make place for man who has the
brazen effrontery personally to can.
vass for the Office as a strictly parti-
san candidate. The election of NJ! M.
Cothren over Judge Cole would be a
formal notice to the world that faith
full, non.partisan, impartial judges are
not wanted in Wisconsin,; and would
contribute very much toward lowering
the dignity and impairing the useful
ness of the state judiciary. 1t is bad
enough, in all conscience, to have an
elective judiciary, without having the
Judicial ermine trampled into the mire
OF partisan politics. = Sheboygan

What tho Present Session Of Congress
IL For.

Congress is in session. What for 2
1t Is doing nothing. 1t was called
because the preceding Congress had
failed to pass appropriations of mon
ey necessary to pay the running ex-
penses of the Government. The
present Congress 10 IN an attitude to
make the same failure. It does not
object to make the appropriations.
1t does not care how much of the
peoples money is expended. In
fact the men in control have voted
for liabilities exceeding those of the
preceding two Congresses by fifty
to one hundred millions. They are
willing to vote the money but they
want to do something more. Once
New York State was carried by cast
ing about 10000 frau iulent votes.
South Carolina last Fall was carried
by fraudulent ballots. There is no
power within the States to prevent
these frauds or to punish for them
If the State is in the hands Of the
party favoring the frauds. Congress
therefore made law by which u,
s. Inspectors of elections are ap.
pointed in such States. Those In.
spectors are appointed from both
oontending parties. They are sup.
posed 20 be honest men and il

no lover of what is just could oppose
such law, but il is because the par

extra session of Congress. They
want ali the obstacles in the way o.

that they can with impunity subver1

Oltver-Cameron.

1t is doubtful whether tho facts 10
the Oliver Cameron suit are whole
some diet for public morals, but
newspapers we suppose are bound
to give them to the public.
The widow Oliver is o smart wo.
man who obtained q situation as
clerk in a Government Office through
Senator Simon Cameron's influence.
Two or three years ago she lost
her situation. Then she claimed
that Cameron had promised to mar
~ her and she notified him that she
would sue him for breach of prom.
giving her one thousand dollars.
After while she became dissatis-
fled again and brought suit claiming
we believe, $4,000. The trial begun
some ten days ago.
She assumed to be the widow oil
Thomas Oliver, but in giving testi.
mony ACKNOWLEDGED that Olivsr had
another wife living whom she lived
with him. After she had lived some
years with him be obtained divorce
from his other wife and after that
she (the plaintiff in THE auit) never
saw or heard OF him again. Said she
did not know whether he was living
or not. While she was telling this
g man was brought into the court
room where she could see him. She
looked at him and said that was him
"He has changed somewhat but that
is he."
Afterwards Oliver was put on the
stand. He told that he had frs,
met her over twenty Eve years age
in Masonic regalia furnis hing
house in Philadelphia. He was there
afterwards but did not find her. HI
then went TO an assignation house
and while waiting for the girls to ap
pear she came into the room. Shs
told him she had been seduced at thu
house where he first found her EN-.
ployed. He took her with him t.
Louisville and kept her as his mis-.
tees for some years, six to ten, bu,
never married her and never allowed
her TO use his name.
1t appears that she has had four
or five different names and has liveC
with more than as many mon, an

on had secured her good Republi
can salary at Washington.
divers nephew, Rev. Geo. Goulc
was put on the witness stand. He
knew that Oliver had lived with the
woman as his mistress. He had re.
ceived letters from .he woman only
q few weeks ago threatening that il
Oliver did not supply her with mon
ey she would prosecute him for big.
amy and thus disgrace the whole
family. This preacher is the princi-
pal of an important female college
at Millersville, KY, and he has this
Oliver ss one of his assistant profess
sors.
There is another kind of spice in
the affair. 1t is the "widow's" let.
ters. Cameron wanted an appoint
ment on mission to Europe. She
wrote him to come and marry hel
like q good man and she would pray
to God that he might get the ap.
peintment and God had always an
swsrsd her prayers and she knew he
would get the mission, And to Don
Cameron she wrote that be should
encourage his papa to marry her and

Europe and when there she would
take him to the great castle Of hel
