I
tlal election there is not probability of
its being reported to the House by the
appropriate COMMITTEES to which it was
referred
Gov. Pound hurried home to COM
plete and carry out the arrangements
recently made by him looking to the
completion of the st. Paul Eastern
Grand Trunk Railroad by constructing
that portion of the line extending from
Chippewa Falls via Wausau to juno
ton with the Milwaukee, Lake Shore
and Western Railroad, which is to be
put und>r contract ut once, and it is
confidently expected that it will be
completed in November, 1880.
Judge Humphrey left on the even
ing OF the 10Th ms. for Chicago to
JON Mrs. Humphrey, who has been
detained there FIR some time til d
very critical disease Of the throat.
Mrs. Humphreys many friends. and
especially chose among the poor, will
greatly regret her inabi ity to visit
Washington this winter.
Hon. Chas. G. Williams and Hon.
George e. HaZeIton remain III Wash
lngton during the recess and will
promptly attend to the business of
their constituents before the Depart
ments, and be ready TO watch the move
ments OF the Confederate Democracy
after the recess. Wisconsin may we'll
be proud of her delegation i'll Washing
ton, and it is to be hoped that she will
follow the example of the South in
keeping good men in congress when it
secures them. 1t can be truly said of
the Republican delegation from Wis
consln that they all deserve to be kept
in Congress for Il series of years and
if the people Of Wisconsin know when
they are we'll off they will. make no
changes of q good representative for.
one who has not been tried.
The great topic OF conversation here
is the Outrage IN Maine, Of which
Samuel j. Tllden is charged with being
its instigator looking for the fraudu-
lent Legislature to elect Tilden Elect
ors for the next President before they
adjourn. "Individuals have been
counted out before, glaring wrongs
have been committed III single cases,
but never before has any party had The
astounding hardihood to override a
palpable majority Of fifteen thousand,
and completely change a great political
prepOnderance in both branches Of a
Legislature into meagre minority.
The Republicans Of Maine elected
ninety members Of the lower House,
aad the Democratic canvassers Rave
counted the number down to fifty-eight.
AT the same time they have counted
the Democrats up from sixty-one to
seventy-eight. In other words, they
have changed majority of twenty
nine members into a minority Of
twenty. So in the Senate where the
Republicans had a clear ascendancy,
these Democratic conspirators have
counted up a Democratic majority of
ninel Can any langus &c emphasize
the bold enormity of this crime beyond
the bear recital Of the plain facts?"
cit Will be the most costly political
gain ever accomplished in this country.
1t will bring down upon its perpctra-
tors the indignant reprobation of every
honest man throughout the land.
There is no fair-mlnded Democrat,
however attached to his party, WHO
will not condemn and repudiate this
monstrous wrong. 1t is amazing that
amy set of men could be found SO de-
mented and besotted as to carry such
an infamous scheme to it's conclusion.
Never did conspirators pay so high a
price for 50 transient an advantage.
They gain their object for the hour
but they arouse an incensed public
feeling which will oyerwhelm them
and their party in destruction"
1t is the general opinion here that
the Republicans of Maine would be
perfectly justified in resisting with
force Of arms this fraudulent over
throwing OF the legally expressed opin-
ions of large majority of the people
of that State and thus following the
example of the Southern Democrats
that a minority shall rule, thus initia-
ting the first step to overthrow re-
publican form OF Government. *4;*
