A correspondent of the Milwaukee
Sentinel at Waupun makes serious
charges against one of our under
sheriffs. We copy from the Sentinel
the full communication. Mr.. T. J..
Myers (the gentleman against whom
the charges are made) statement is
quite different. He says Mrs. McLin-
den, his female prisoner, was dressed
as we'll as she usually dresses and as
well as she wished to be, as she sent a
large bundle of clothing home previous
to her leaving for Waupun, and she
had 1925 in her pocket, which she de-
posted with the warden on her en-
trance to the prison. Neither was she
at all exposed to the cold on her way
there. On arrival at Waupun both
prisoners were taken to restaurant
scarce half a block from the depot, and
partook of good dinner. as good as
Mr.. Myers himself ate. The prisoners
were familiar with each other. Mrs.
McLinden being the receiver of the
stolen goods, and were arrested and
convicted at the same time. Under
the circumstances, the sheriff thought
it would not be great indignity to
chain the prisoners together. Here
we think great mistake was made.
We cannot expect to teach criminals a
regard for the rights of others when
the officers of the law disregard their
personal rights. The claiming together
OF a young man with mother is de-
grading to the prisoners, the officials
and the public, and should meet de-
served rebuke. It would have been
better, If necessary, that two officers
should have accompanied them, though
the expense were double.

more likely these orgies were suggested
by spirits below than by the colored
race. If there be a personal devil; if
he were ever born, and his natal day
known, there would be no more fitting
way Of concentrating his advent
into the world than that practieed in
this city to celebrate the birth of the
Saviour born in Bethlehem of Judea.
1t Is the custom on the night before
Christmas to employ every available
instrument, capable of making fright
full noise; among these tin horns are
the most in demand; some of these
are made tc order, measuring dozen.
feet in length, and requiring from two
to three persons to carry and operate
them through the street. The pande-
mOnium from the combined instru-
ments is kept up through the night
nor does it cease the following day,
but runs into the second night, dimln-
ishing by degrees, as the performer
grows exhausted. When orderly citiz-
ems inquire why these senseless dis
turbances are permitted, they are
answered, " it can't be helped" The
city police are of no account on occa-
si0ns of this sort; the noise makers
seem to care as little for the presence
of policeman as for a lamp post.
Occasionally police officer may make
a show of duty by trying to capture
a boisterous rioter, and while making
the attempta mischievous urchin steps
behind him, explodes a cracker under
his coat tail, and vanishes in the
crowd. Many of the churches are in
the practice of holding religious SER
vices on Christmas; the annoyances to
which they are subjected may be I'M
derstoOd by mentioning a single in
stance. Rev. DR.. Townsend, rector of
the Incarnation church. on Christmas
day was obliged to stop in the middle
of his sermon, on account of the furi-
GUS blowing of horns in the vicinity.
Why these heathenish disturbances
find liberation among a professedly
christian people is strange.
THE COMING WISCONSIN SENATOR.
Wisconsin people here take lively
interest in the senatorial question, now
being agitated in that state. The right
man for the place demands careful
consideration. It is not enough that
the choice should fall on one who has
the reputation of being shrewd man
ager, or expert lobbyist. These quail
fications may be desirable. but as the
Q. S. Senate is now constituted, a man
is required who shall be equal to any
emergency that may arise; who when
matters of great national interest are
suddenly thrust upon the Senate can
meet them in debate, and be able to
cope with the men of distinguished
talent in that body. There is just now
a demand for craftsmanship in the
q. 8. Senate. X.

A fellowship meeting is to be held
in the Congregational church, Bristol,
next week, commencing with sermon
on Wednesday evening, January -,
and will be continued morning, after
noon and evening of Thursday. These
meetings are becoming very popular
and are deemed helpful in arousing the
church and stimulating activity in its
legitimate work. 1t is expected that
Rev's H. A. Miner, of Madison, H. T.
Rose, Of Milwaukee, Richard Miller, of
Kenosha, and others will be present. 1t
is usual to invite ministers of other
denominations to be present and take
part in the work.

The TELEGRAPH makes its first ap-
pearance in the New Year to our seven
hundred subscribers and more than
three thousand readers with joyous
greeting and Astounding thanks. We
thank the loyal constituency Of the
TELEGRAPH for their faithfulness and
unwavering support. You have read
It for from ten to upwards of thirty
wears, and it has always unfurled and
borne before you the banner of freedom
for all and the equality of all men be-
fore the law. 1t will always 60 before
you and always be found with you in
the thickest of the fight until every
citizen, black and white, in every pre-
cinct In every state, North and South,
East and West, can cast his ballot
safely for whom he chooses, and have
it counted az he cast it. Four months
ago the TELEGRAPH was Whelmed in
storm and darkness. The winds blew
and she was tossed Oh the waters; the
waves threatened to swallow her up.
Her captain was gone, and there was
10 man strong enough to guide her
through the tempest. Some of the
crew began to tremble and fear that
she would sink, and twenty-five OF
them left the ship and got safely into
a leaky boat having two oars but no
rudder, and called the Republican
Journal. The rest of the crew to the
number of near seven hundred remain
ed with the ship and were saved and so
was the ship. The Lord provided a
captain; the helm was taken by a strong
arm, and the old ship triurnphantly
rode out the storm. Now the skies are
blue, the breezes are fair, the sunshine
clear and warm, and the old TELE-
GRAPH unframed by the storm, with
no seam in her sides, with no leaks in
her hulk, and her crew increased to
seven hundred, rides proudly on the
waters. Dear old readers and friends
we thank you again for your faithful
ness and your loyalty. TO you belongs
the honor of saving the ship. Your
captain rejolces with you that the ship
is saved; that she is stauncher and
sounder than ever, and is fully equip
ped for the voyage of 1881.

Correspondence Of the Tele0raph)
WASHINGTON, Dec %. /

WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1880.
The national capital is just now de-
serted. except by the employees and at
PENDANTS upon Congress. The members
are mostly away, enjoying the holiday
season with their families and friends.
From present indications there will be
no extra session; besides the passing
of the usual appropriation bills, neces-
Sary for carrying on the government,
but little business of Importance will
be transacted, unless it be the passage
of Mr.. Woods bill, providing for the
issuing of Z. S. bonds, bearing three
per cent interest. On the reassembling
of Congress after the recess, it is IN
derstood. the democrats will bring all
their forces to bear on the passage of
the resolution, introduced at the last
session, changing the manner of count
ing the electoral vote. This was one
of their pet measures at the last SEES
sion. on which so much time was
wasted, and on which much time will
probably be expended during the bal
ance OF the present session. The re-
publicans will resist this scheme to the
last, by every constitutional means in
their power; and unless the democrats
seize upon some opportunity when
they can command quorum, the plan
for depriving the Vice President of
his constitutional right to count the
electoral vote will be defeated.
Although democrats protesting to
speak for the party have declared on
the floor Of Congress that they have
no intention of taking advantage, but
concede the election of Gen. Garfield.
yet the zeal with which they press
their project for counting the electoral
vote very naturally excites suspicion
that there is an Interior purpose behind
the curtain.
HOW CHRISTMAS IS CELEBRATED IN
WASHINGTON.
Perhaps in the absence of any poll
teal news of immediate interest, the
readers of the TELEGRAPH NAV be
interested to know how the holidays
are observed in Washington, especially
Christmas. They have a heathenish
way OF celebrating Christmas here: it
is said by some to be of negro origin.
but it is unfair to charge any thing so
low and debasing to negroes. 1t seems

Our county officers are nearly all
their own successors, so that the
breadth of their smiles and their ur-
banity Of manner will not vary with
the incoming of the New Year. The
Sheriff, District Attorney and Coroner
are the new members of the county
administration, and have taken pos
session of their offices with due gravity,
and we hope a proper sense of their
responsibility to the people.

The regular time of holding the
annual meeting of the Kenosha County
Farmers Society is January II. But
as the State Dairymen's Association
will be then in session at Waukesha
and many of our members will be in
attendance, it is thought best to call
the annual meeting of the Farmers
Society for January 10. which is one
week later.

The annual meeting of the Kenosha
County Farmers Society will be held
at the Lucas Hall, Pleasant Prairie, on
Wednesday, January 10th, commencing
at 1920 A. M. Mr.. Lucas has with
great liberality proffered to furnish
dinner at 20 cents each, and dinner
with horse in the barn for 25 cents.
The principal business to come before
the meeting will be the election of Off
GERS and the planning of the campaign
for the coming year. The farmers of
Kenosha county should by this time
keenly feel the necessity of being thor
oughly organized for their own protec-
ton. You all concede the benefit to be
derived from a mutual interchange of
thought and experience. You know
you can in this way avail yourselves of
the knowledge and experience of others.
You can make no expenditure of time
in labor on the farm that will bring
you in as good returns as the three or
four hours spent in counsel at the
farmers meeting. 1t may not be posi-
BILE for you to attend every meeting,
but calculations should be made to at
tend every meeting. If you can con-
tribute nothing more than your pres
ence and influence you are under public
obligation to contribute that. "Forget
not the assembling of yourselves to-
gether as the manner of some is"
There are certain public duties laid
upon us which we cannot neglect to
perform without injury to the public
good and consequently to our individual
selves. at least Indirectly

We want to call the attention of the
Christian men and women of Kenosha
to those persons who are confined in
our Jail. On a recent visit there we
saw six OF seven men sitting on a
bench. One Of the number lad a news
paper; it was soiled and worn and
looked as though it had seen service.
After our exit from the cell I asked
the sheriff if the prisoners We're sup
piled with reading. He said he took
seven or eight papers, and they had all
those to read,a suggested that editors
had an abundance of papers. and might
furnish supply. The suggestion was
timely and a good one. A further
thought: Many of the prisoners can
not read, but all can appreciate picture
papers. Our Sunday schools are
abundantly supplied with illustrated
papers. The pictures speak for them
selves, and teach many noble lesson.
After the scholars have read their pic
ture papers they could be made to ex-
tend their good work among our pris-
oners. These suggestions are not made
on sentimental grounds. 1t is the duty
of Christians to "Rescue the Perish
ing" and "Lift up the Fallen" Some
thing can be done by supplying them
with wholesome interesting reading.
New and pure thoughts can be i'm
planted that may spring up and bear
good fruit in the future years. They
are locked up for the public good and
safety. But let Christian men and
women make them feel that we have a
care for their good and want to save
them from sinful lives. The prisoners
in Racine jail listen every morning to
bible reading and prayer. Are Keno
sha ministers of the gospel of salvation
to sinners doing their duty in respect
to our prisoners?

without providing for at least the
travelling expenses of the speaker. On
some of these occasions the treasury
has been empty, and the officers have
had to depend on the means to pay ex-
penses from membership fees paid on
the spot by the audience. The member
ship fee is now 25 cents. and with the
large membership the society ought to
have there would be funds enough to
provide speakers at least once in two
months. During the winter we ought
to meet as often as once month, and
each alternate meeting could be de-
voted to the discussion of interesting
questions by the members. In the
summer once in two months will per-
haps be as often as we can spare the
time from the severe labors of the
season to meet together. Let each OF
