The Judiciary and Politics"

The Plattcvillo Witness in its zeal
for the election " Geo. &. lIa1rllun,
is trying q mislrad voters aS Il the
eligibility ofludgc Cethern for Con-
gress, because he holds II judicia
Office. The raricdu Ghicn Union,
the Republican, paper Of Crawford
county has the fairness y present
the following facts il regard t. this
question.
Some Of the newspapers of this
district think they have discovered
u provision in our state constitution
which makes Judge Cothcrn incli-
giblc 10 Il scatin congress. Section
ten Of article seven provides that
judges OF the supreme and circuit
courts SHALL hold no office of pub
lie trust, except II judicial Office,
during The term for which they are
respectively elected, and all votes
for either Of them, for any office ex-
cept 4 judicial Office given by the
legislature or the people shall be
void At first blush, there appears
to be force in the suggestion il the
office for which Cothern is u candi-
date was a state office there would
be no question hut that he would
be ineligible, even if he should re-
sign the office Of judge. But Il
member Of congress is not state
office. He is not responsible to the
state for misfeasanee or malfeasance
in office. His compensation comes
from the federal, not state treasury.
His oath Of office does not take cog
nizance Of the state constitution.
This being true, it follows that the

qualifications for a member Of con-
gress must be sought for in the con-
stitution Of the United States. No
such prohibition being contained in
that instrument, it is incompetent
for the state to add it.
This question was brought to the
attention ofthe I. S. senate in 1856.
Lyman Trumbull was elected to that
body while occupying a seat on the
supreme bench Of Illinois, which
has a constitutional provision like
ours, with the addition of the wold3
United States included in the pro-
hibition. The senate decided by a
vote Of 50 to s that the state con-
stitution could not add to the quail
iications prescribed by the consti-
tuition of the United States. This
provision of the constitution of our
state has been considered inopcra-
tive 50 far as it relates TO federal
officers for years. il 1851 boo
little was elected TO the U. S. Sem
ate when his term Of office rs cir
cult judge had not expired. He
resigned before the election took
place but Mr.. Howe and his friends
argued that did not obviate the
constitutional objection. The whole
question was ably discussed before
the legislature and the people, and
the view Of ineligibility was disap-
proved Two years later Mr.. Lar
abee was elected to congress while
serving as circuit judge. 70 come
down to more recent times we find
that the same construction prevail
ol. in 1874 Geo. w. Cate was nom
mated and elected to congress by
the democrats of the eighth dis
trict, while serving as circuit Judge
In 1876 II. |" Humphrey, while
judge, was elected to congress by
the republicans Of the seventh dis
trict. SO that it appears that both
political parties i'll this state have
given construction to the provision
under consideration in harmony
with that given to the Illinois CON
stitution III Trumbull's ease

Mr.. I. Scott Ansloy, candidate for
District Attorney,has discharged the
duties of that office during the past
two years, faithfully and well. He
was the unanimous choice Of the
! Democratic convention because the
members Of that convention knew
that he has made 4 good officer,
and that if reelected his experience
with the duties Of the office will
enable him to better discharge
them in the future.
Charles Gilman, candidate for
County Treasurer, has proved him
self to be one Of the best County
Trcasurcrs in the State. His books
are models Of ncatness and accu-
racy. He has never used or loaned
n dollar Of the peoples money.
He conducts his public affairs MS
he does his private affairs, in the
most careful and painstaking man
ncr The people, if they arc alive
to their interests, will see 10 il that
he is reelected by u large majority,
for they know that the funds of the
county will be safely guarded SO
long MS he is Treasurer. Mr.. Gil
mann is ono Of the most popular
men IN the county, NJ we believe
his vote will show on election day.
Those who listened to the able
and eloquent speech made by Mr.
NJ. J. Briggs in this city on Friday
evening last, will commend the
Democrats of the Northern district
for their good Judgment in making
nm their candidate Tor Member of
Assembly. Mr.. Briggs will be one
Of the very ablcst members Of our
next legislature. Tho needs Of this
portion of the State Will not be
laid before the Assembly in lame
or halting manner while Mr..
Briggs holds u seat there, but will
be eloquently presented by him.
Mr.. Briggs understands the wants
of the people, and his election to the
will enable him to aid in
preventing any injurious or un-
necessary legislation from being en-
noted.

GRANT TO ELECT HIMSELF.
He Will See that He Gets His Place-It
Means Revolution.

Now, what General Grants supporters pro-
pose is, in fact, that in case he-ome of the
candidates should not be satisfied with the
decision of Congress, he should count the
votes himself, admitting such as he thought
entitled to admission, and rejecting all Others,
and that if the result thus reached satisfied
mm lie was elected, he should take possession
of the White House with an armed force, and
should set the MAJORITY in both Houses of Con-
gress at defiance and begin the discharge of
executive functions. There are probably not
many of them who like to see the plan set
down in this way in black anG white before
hand. but there is no denying the correctness
of this description of it, This is what is
meant, and the only thing that can be meant,
by choosing military man for the PreSden-
cy, because if elected, Gin his own opinion),
''he will see that he gets the place" In plain
English, it means revolution. 1t means the
Introduction into the government of the prac-
tice of having each candidate pass on his own
claims to the Presidency, and then fight in Or
der to assert them. 1t means that we have
reached a stage in our politics in which STRAIT

HOW He Dep0sed a Chief.

Governor McCook once caused the deposi-
ton of Ute chief namek Colorow, in the
following manner:
During his administration, c lorow, and a
band of Utes came to a post town, and
camped on the outskirts. One day the chief
sent word that he wanted new tent, McCook
despatched an agent to see in what condition
Colorow's tent was in; the repor was that he
did not need new tent, and McCook accord
ngly refused. In the afternoon while the
Governor was i'll his Office, Colorow came in
half drunk, with a revolver in his hand, and
going over to where McCook was writing, sat
down. The Governor took in the situation
at glance, but did not look up.
"McCook liar" said Colorow.
The Governor went Oh writing.
"McCook d-n liar" repeated the chief.
Still McCook continued writing.
"McCook G-d-n liar.' said Coroow,
reaching a climax.
Nevertheless McCook would not look at
him.
BY this time Corolow had concluded there
was no fight in the Governor, and allow ed
the hand holding the revolver to drop to his
side. The move was bad one. In an instant
McCook seized his wrist, knocked the weapon
away from him, and catching the astonished
savage by the neck, kicked hlm down stairs
and out into the street, where Q number of
Utes were standing about.
With great tact, McCook pointed to the
PROSTATE and humiliated form of Colorow,
and turning to the Utes, said Colorow an

Then turning on his heels, he walked up
stairs. The next day the mortified Uutes de-

is to his great cOOlness that he owes his lite
y few days ago, while working in the Ale
gheny shaft. on east Fryer hill, he prepared
blast and lighted the fuse, aud jumping into
tue bucket gave the signal to hoist away
The shaft is 24O #. deep, and when 40 feet were
gained, the toggling gave way and the bucket
started back for the bottom of the shaft Con-
nelly felt it giving away, and managed to
catch hold OF the loop at the end of the rope
As soon as he found he had hold, he began to
yell TO the men above. They, thinking he
was in hurry to get out Of reach of the blast,
put on extra steam and jerked him hundred
feet in twinkling. When about fifty feet
from the surface, Connolly felt his strength
giving way. He knew that he could not hold
out uutil the top was reached, and made up
his mind to risk bold stroke for life Throw
ing himself across the shaft. he let 90 the rope
and with wonderful dexterity and good luck
managed TO lodge, with his back against one

the rope, which had reached the mouth of the
shaft empty, was sent down to him, and he
was rescued from his perilous position.-
