Hon. Chas. NJ. Webb of this city
took his departure to-day, via. the
Northwestern Railway to Fort Pierce,
and from there by stage to Deadwood,
D. T., where he will Immediately as
sumo the duties Of Register of the u
S. Land Office, and where he expects
to make his home in the future. The
citizens of Wood county, without re-
gard to party, universally regret his
departure. They loose an exemplary
citizen, man of mature judgment, a
warm friend, and brilliant and sue
cessful advocate. The best wishes of
hosts of friends, not only here but
from all over the state of Wisconsin
will go with him to his new home.
We have clipped the following from
our exchanges:
We take from the Lincoln County
Advocate the following fattering no.
tice of Hon. Chas NJ. Webb, every
word Of which we indorse, and more
too. A truer man never lived-even
the Republican party cannot corrupt
him That he will exert a salutary
influence in territory which is fast
becoming refuge of political dead
beats, we have no question. We con-
graduate that territory upon having
one honest official besides Gov. Ord
way who has fought good fight, and
deserves credit and support. He has
acted like an honest man, and can bet
on Charley as belonging to the same
category:
at is with sincere regret that we
are compelled to chronicle the fact
that Hon Charles NJ. Webb has re-
moved from Grand Rapids and taken
up his residence in Deadwood, Dakota,
which place he will hereafter make his
permanent abode. In the removal of
Mr.. Webb this state loses one Of its best
citizens and the legal fraternity one of
ats brightest lights AS citizen Of
standing of worth, of character, the
state does not contain his superior; as
lawyer he ranks high, and as polt-
ician he is shrewd, sagacious, frank,
and manly. Mr.. Webb has never
sought Office, though he has repeatedly
been honored by being elected mayor
of his city, attorney of his county and
senator of his state He was for a
time United States district attorney.
which position he resigned, as it in
terfered too much with his private
practice. He goes to Deadwood as
register of the United States land
| Office, and, as before remarked, to be-
come permanent resident of that
prosperous young territory; and while
we greatly regret and while the people
of the entire northern part of the state
will regret his departure, yet will they
all without regard to party affiliations
join with the Advocate in congratula-
ting Dakota uyon the accession of such
man as Mr.. Webb as one of her cit
liens, for truer, straighter or squarer
man does not live. LA Crosse Chron

This week the Hon Chas NJ Webb,
of Grand Rapids, takes his departure
for his new home in Deadwood, to fill
the Office of Register of the U. S. Land
Office at that place. Mr.. Webb's long
residence in our midst, his extended
practice as lawyer, his service as U
S. Dist Attorney and State Senator,
all combine to give him a wide &C.
quaintance and large circle of friends
who most sincerely regret his depart
ure. He is gentleman of the strict
est integrity, of marked ability, and of
the highest standing in the communi-
ty where he resides. His departure
will be loss to the State, to the legal
fraternity and to friends whom he can
number By thousands, May the peo-
pie of Deadwood deal kindly with him
and may prosperity attend him in his
new home. is our heartiest wish

Hon. Chas. NJ. Webb, of Grand
Rapids, removed to Deadwood, D. T.,
last week. there to take up his resi-
dence and enter upon the duties of
Register of the U. S. Land Office In
his removal, Wisconsin loses talented
lawyer, and gentleman of irreproach-
able integrity. Few men in the State
have warmer personal friends than
Charley Webb, and in his own home
he carries with him none but the kind
est wishes of hosts of admirers.
Dakota is to be congratulated upon
securing so good a citizen, and al
though we regret to lose him from
Wisconsin, the Herald earnestly trusts
that in his new home he will find that
peace, comfort and prosperity he so
earnestly deserves. = Chippe'0a Herald.

but socially and as friend he is one
the best Of the best. The Journal
