The State of Now Jersey has al =
ways been noted for the unerring cer-
tainty that characterized it in on
forcing capital punishment. A mur-
deror once captured has few chances oi
escape, and tho death sentence once
pronounced upon him, he was n wise
man who did not delay his prepara-
tions for the other world. y few
days ago an old man, who had pass
ed his three score years, was to be
executed at Newtown. lie had, in
cold blood, murdered his widowed
daughter, who for years, with the
labor of her hands, had supported
tho old mlu. Ho may have been
insane, but the insanity plea has not
worked as successfully in New Jersey
as in some other States. At all events
the docrepid old murd "er was led
to the gallow1, held in an upright
position by strong arms and launch>
Oh into eternity. As au evidence
It there is nothing mean bldout
% authorities of Newtown, tho fact
may be cited that they hired Il brass
band and stationed it just soutside
the Jail walls to discourse lively
music while tho preparations for the
execution wero going on. The last
sounds that the old man heard in
this world were the stirring strains
Of "The Star Spangled Banner, "
which may or may not have been
cheering in it's effects upon him
Music at executions is certainly
novelty, aud to New Jersey belongs
the credit,if any there be, for the ori-
ginallty of the idea. We apprehond
however, that the prac tico will never
hocnma nOnnlar.

WISE SAYINGS. Anger dies soon
with q wise aud good man.
Too much prosperity makes mon
fools.
Experience keeps dear school,
but fools will learn in no other.
Wealth is not his who gets, but
bis who enjoys it.
Employ your time we'll, if you
mean to gain leisure.
A man may have thousand &C
quaintaces, and not one friend among
them.
1t is better to live little, than
outlive a great deal.
BY others faults wise man correct
their own.
We should take abundant care for
the future, but 80 40 to enjoy the
present.

a Democrat, then Republican; he
afterwards returned to his first love"
and has been nominated by the Democ-
racy of Illinois as its candidate for
governor. During the time that he
acted with the Republican party he
took occasion in Il speech to declare
that "The Democratic " has never
vet done any act thu mmendS it to
the favorable COZ GRAFTON of the
people of the Tn ates, but on
the contrary, its ions and its
acts are now al. 'er have been a
standing menace " che progress and
civilization of the 10Th century. "
While this declaration is as true to-
day as it was when uttered by Mr..
Irumbull it is not stimulating bat
tle-cry for the party whose candidate
he now is.

On Friday, the 9th inst, at about
five O'Clock we had very heavy fall
of rain and hail. OnSaturday succeed
ing the clouds looked very much as
though a shower was imminent, but
the rain did not fall until two o'clock
when the torrents began to descend as
though the earth was to be drowned;
but for the rainbow seen in the heav-
ems we might have come to the con-
clusion that the waters would once
more cover the surface of the globe.
The streams began to come from the
bluffs, the creeks began to swell and at
about five o'clock the water came back
from Rush Coolie which sent every
thing on the lowlands whirling in a
hurry. The people were wise enough
to have their cellars and lower stories
cleared of goods, etc., but several fam
lilies were obliged to leave as the
water was in their houses. Parson' S
show was in town and number were
here to attend the performance, but
fortunately left the tent before it fell
down. The water did not reach the
high water mark of last July. MIR.
Oberding had his brick kiln filled ready
to burn. The kiln fell mass of ruins.
Mr.. oOerding is loser by several
hundred dollars. Mr.. Fritz lost con-
siderable in grain, etc. Fences were
taken away and some damage done to

was feared at the time. Mr.. Moser's
dam, which was nearly completed was
again taken out. Mr.. oppiiger had a
pile of lumber taken up stream but
the tide very kindly set it down just
as it took it up; the pile stood intact.
Or. Curtis was out of town but came
in on the double quick just in time to
get across Plum Creek. Our hotels
were filed with people detained here
on account of the storm. We will say
that the people of this vicinity are Ir
with the times; but few places could
have had it much liyeiier than we have
during the last two storms. But still
we are alive, and hold up both hands
for the JOURNAL, and Plum City il par
ticular.

Ir has been an impression among
mankind for fifteen years that the con
federates' were most damnably whip
ped in the war which they made on
the government iLVdUkee Sunday
Telegraph.
So they were, but the magnanimity
of the yictors overpowered their judg-
ment, in consequence of which solid
North IN 1880 is all that will prevent
change in the relative positions of
the "damnably whipped" and those
who did the thrashing.

The Democratic editor of the Mil
waukee Sunday Telegraph does not
like to see too much rebel enthusiasm
displayed for Hancock. He evidently
thinks that it is not required to secure
a solid South and fears that if made
too conspicuous it may have reac-
tionary tendency in the North. In
commenting upon the proposition of
General Chalmers that a mass meeting
of federal and rebel soldiers be held at
Gettysburg to do honor to General
Hancock, the Telegraph man utters a
warning against such movement, in
which he says: Nothing that the
Republicans could plan would do the
Democrats and their candidate so much
damage as the appearance of con-
federate' crowd in any capacity, to
take part in the campaign. If the
egregeously insane sentimentality and
tropical thoughtless enthusiasm of the
'confederates' would permit them to
learn anything about practical politics
and the condition of affairs in this
country, that the one possibility of
Hancock S election rests in the disap-
pearance from the campaign and from
the American mind of the fact that there
is such thing as confederate in ex-
istence. Every reminder of cOnfed-
acy, in the way of rebel orator, or a
brigadier, or a rebel political gather
ing, or rebel yell, or meetings at
confederate cross roads, is disastrous
blow at Gen. Hancock's prospect of an
election. These monumental idiots,
by their shouts and howlings, their
crazy rapture and their lunatic bonn
bast, are preparing for the Democrats
a more hopeless and complete over
throw than they have yet encountered.
The managers kept the rebel orators
still in Congress, and gained an i'm
portdnt advantage by tutttng appre-
tensions at the North, and by suppress
ing sectional jealousy. But the con-
federate shouters and claquers appear
determined to destroy their advantage,
and to revive every memory of the
war which has entered into politics
since peace was declared"

ONE of the truths enumerated in Gen
eral Garfield's letter of acceptance
which will be universally acknowledge
ed by all fair and candid men is his
assertion that the wounds of the war
cannot be completely healed, and the
spirit of brotherhood cannot fully per-
wade the whole country until every
citizen, rich or poor, white or black,
is secure in the free and equal enjoy
ment of every civil and political right
guaranteed by the Constitution and
the laws
