GENERAL BUTLER's speech at Boston
delivered August %, in which he took
occasion to give his reasons for quitting
the republican party is logical and
powerful effort. He shows the dangers
likely to arise from the long continuance
in power of one party. He discusses the
opposition to General Grant on the
ground of the unwisdom of extending
the power of any one man to three terms
and shows clearly that the same danger
may with as much justice be apprehend-
ed from perpetuation of the power of q
party. He then discusses the abuses of
Grants administration and quotes repub-
lican authority. All this time Garfield
was in congress and failed to raise his
voice in denunciation of the existing
corruption.
The demonstrative concern of the re-
publicans for the condition of the negro
receives attention and the failure of the
party to do anything Notwithstanding its
power. Hayes, when speaking of his
defeat few days after the election in
November said he did not care for him
self, but for the poor negro in the south.
aud then after securing the presidency to
himself, abandoned the negro, proving
how hypocritical he is III his professions.
Republicans who support Hancock are
denounced as traitors who have gone
over to the enemies of the country, while
Hayes who appointed rebel general a
member of his cabinet, remains patriot.
The credit of restoring the currency of
the nation, to par with gold, and of
bringing prosperity to the country, is
claimed by the republican party. Butler
asks if the depreciation of the currency
t. SO cents on the dollar is not with equal
justice to be credited to the party in
power when the depreciation took place.
Without good crops could the country
be prosperous? 1t was an act of God
and not of the republican party that
brought prosperity. The condition of
commerce receives attention. The gen.
eral shows that under republican admin
istration the American flag is hardly seen
on the ocean. He contrasts this state of
affairs under democratic rule.

THE resolution Of Thomas p. O'Con-
nor denying the right of a hereditary
body of Legislators such as the house of
lords, to defeat measures for the improve
ment of the condition of the people of
Engi,ld and Ireland, was pretty badly
defeated, the Irish members dividing on
the question. An effort made to coerce
the house of lords would indeed be inter-
esting as there are many who believe that
the power in the hands of the queen is
not adequate to that purpose on aquestion
of importance to the heavy land holders
as the compensation for disturbance bill.
The number of peers created would be
enormous before the majority against the
bill could be overcome. Would the
house of lords yield before resort made
to this last means of coercion? Other
wise titles would be as common i'll Great
Britain as military titles are in this coun.

THE petty malevolence of the Fond du
Lac Commonwealth toward Gen. Bragg
is SO puerile as to be amusing. Any
reference to its attacks must necessarily
be of the tenor of rebuke for childish
spite and petty malice. One can not
write of the Commonwealth opposi-
ton to Bragg with the seriousness which
sturdy, manly antipathy merits 1t is
SO small and its origin is so well under
stood that it either provokes a smile at
the want of balance it displays, or re-
mains unnoticed as the chickering's of q
small man with grievance of fancied
huge dimensions. But Kutchin exceeds
the linn. to which youthful petulance
may proceed w:.h immunity. He has
abused Bragg In the most approved man
ner of street urchins. His attacks have
neither provoked comment or reply. He
grows desperate at this want of recogni-
ton and becomes if possible more child
ish. He talks about Bragg having clean
ed out man in this city of the last cent
he had in game of poker. Gen. Bragg
never played a game of poker for money
in this city. Kutchin's boyish enmity is
not above the deliberate framing of lies.
No one can excuse a child for lying
anger is excusable. The little boy who
lies about a playmate with whom he has
some difference, deserves to be spanked.
The collector" should have a shingle
applied to his person until he promises
to tell no more ibs and content himself
with making faces at those whom he
does not like.
He charges Bragg with having pnr-
chased the Manitowoc delegation with
hard cash. The Manitowoc delegation
needs no defense at our hands. Indeed
We have no desire to enter the school boy
arena with the Commonwealth. The
reputation of the men who attended the
Sheboygan convention Is sufficient
refutation of the Commonwealth S charge
We mention it only as cumulative proc
that the editor in chief of the Common
wealth is boy in judgment and in ex
perience, and that he is bad boy wheI
out of Sunday school.

OUR CANDIDATE.

The large majority received by Gen.
Bragg against an opponent from an in
fiuential and important county in the
district is IN approval of his course in
congress with which he cannot fail to be
gratifed. So popular has Gen. Bragg
made himself while in congress, by his
ability and independence, that his nomi.
nation from the first was beyond ques-
tiou. While there was disposition on
the part of the people of Manitowoc
county to present. the name of Hon. Jos.
Rankin, it was an acknowledgment of
the services rendered by Mr.. Rankin to
the party and desire on their part to
claim the recognition which long service
on his part merited. The position was
not sought by Mr.. Rankin, nor was the
movement in opposition to Gen. Bragg.
The majority which he viii receive in
this county next November viii suffici-
| emily attest the confidence the people
| repose In him and demonstrate his
strength.
The nomination of Gen. Bragg leaves no
sores to heal in this county. 1t enables
the democracy TO present solid front
and strengthens the hope of an increased
majority this fall. His record in con-
gress is all that could be wished for. To
him solely is the credit of taking south
ern war claims out of the political ques.
tions of the day. The republican party
still occasionally refers to the claims, but
are greeted with deTisive laughter. This
one service to the party raises Bragg
from the level of q common aspirant and
makes him national character. In con
gress he is not representative of the
Fifth district merely; be is representa-
tive of the party. His words have weight
his opinions are respected. In congress
Gen. Bragg's representation is not limit
ed to casting his vote. He takes part IL
legislation and in debate, not in an EN-
pirical way, but in the manner of O mas
ter.
General Bragg Will encounter violen
opposition from his party opponents
He is too devoted democrat, too prom
inent q man to receive gentle treatmen
at their hands. But this party enmity
confined mainly to the party managers
. | Rrapy will lead his ticket in this cOunt
and his majority viii be swelled by til
votes of many republicans who admir-
; the man more than they dislike the pal
tisan.

The Milwaukee Sentinel notes approx
ingly the structures of the Albany Jour
nal on the southern states for partial
Reputation of their debts. If the south
ern states did repudiats, they but follow
ed the example of the northern states
after the revolutionary war. No people
ever worked harder than did those of a
number of the thirteen states to prevent
the government from assuming state
debts incurred for a prosecution of the
war. The states which owed the creates
amount were the most pronounced in
their opposition to the transfer of the
obligation to the general government,
because in that case it was believed they
would be compelled to pay their share,
whereas, if left to themselves they pro-
posed to repudiats wholly. After the
assumption of the state debts the general
government never made payment and
this Reputation was under federal ad-
ministratieu, party which is the exem-
plar of the republican party of to-day.
Not only We're the state debts repudiated,
but the debts of the colon::sl government
were also practically, being funded OF
tne rate Of forty dollars for one of the
new evidences CT Indebtedness. The
creditors of the government were deserv-
ing of a great deal of consideration at
that time. 1t was no easy matter for the
colonies to raise money, and those who
contributed, deserved gratitude and re-
payment. Morris, who gave his fortune
for the benefit Of the country, was a..
lowed to die in poor house. How does
the action OF the impoverished south
ern states compare with that OF the
original thirteen which are honored so
highly?

breathing and wiping, she undertook to
lick portion Of the frost from the iron.

post than il stuck fast-so fast that she
could not Withdraw it, and she could
neither call for assistance nor extricate
herself. At length two men came to
her assistance and endeavor to free her
from her imprisonment by pouring hot
water on the post near where the tongue
was fast Instead Of loosening it the
water made il stick still faster. Two
small chips were then wedged between
the tongue and post on either side until
the tongue was freed. The girl has been
under medical treatment ever since, and
Is said to be slowly improving.
