On SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER
Gangrene In the State.

In an article upon the distraction and
decentralization that exist throughout
the State upon the subject of the State
debt and of the demagoguism growing
out of this State of affairs, the Lynch
burg Advance well says =
This State is in danger, not a bank
ruptcy, not of pauperism, but of corrup-
ton. There are sections in this State
where the assessments are and have
always been a disgrace and where
the excuse for the low valuation has
been as disgraceful as the fact. The first
decade after the war with the Freed
mems Bureau, Internal Revenue Sys-
tenn, Bankrupt proceedings, and United
States Courts, did more to destroy the
moral and political nerve and back bone
of the people than the destruction of
life and property by the war. The
trouble about the State debt, the views
of it, end the uses of the question are the
result of this decentralization, and it has
been seen more or less in every Legis~
lature. Like some of the men during
the war who took salts to keep out of
the army, our political blood is getting
white, our moral muscles flabby, and
the constitutional bones of the State are
rotting. Gangrene, In the shape of
reputation, is staring the patient in the
face. A good many quack medicines
have been presented. Syndicate pills,
Readjusting elixirs, poor mans plasters,
new Judiciary blisters, but, like DIR.
Sangrado's blood letting and hot-water,
the patient grows weaker. A stiff toddy,
made of good democratic whiskey, and
color-line sugar revived and stimulated
the patient last fall, but he is threaten
ed with relapse, and it is evident that
there must be constitutional treatment
Gen. Malone has made a diagnosis
which shows he is aquack, and is trying
| to deceive the poor relations. General
Wickham has solemnly avoided giving
direct opinion, satisfying himself with
expressing his solicitation for the vel
fare of the patient, and intimating that
his occupancy of the dwelling and con.
slant attention, would improve the con-
dition OF the patient. Mr.. Stuart has
studied the case and advises simple
remedies-great quiet in the family, and
trust in nature. Senator Johnston has
made a simple and clear diagnosis ex.
posed the NAL practice of Malone and
his nurses; detected his adulterated
drugs and unprofessional practice
Many little doctors have written Out
many remedies warranted to cure, bu1
their prescriptions are still unnoticed
and the patient is none the better, ant
a crisis is expected next fall, ifperchanc'
he may be carried through SUMNER

politically applied, may be as good a

Insurrcction i'm Presque Isle County

InsurrccfiOn i'm Presque Isle County.
Friday of last week Sheriff Kitchen,
of Presque Isle county, telegraphed Gov
ernOr Jerome asking for troops "to assist
in saving our lives at once," stating that
he, while trying to arrest ten men in
the town of POsen, and had arrested four
of the number, had been set upon by
about $50 men, who took away his pris-
Oners, and almost killed him with all
imaginable weapons" Der~ty Sheriff
Thomas, of that county, was in the vii
lage Thursday night, and through him
we gain the following particulars of the
affray: 1t seems that sometime last year
a man moved into the town of Posen and
started saloon, grocery and house of
entertainment. Being of a different
nationality from most of the inhabitants
they being principally Poles. he and the
residents did not harmonize very we'll
and they undertook to drive him out,
and gave him notice that unless he left
within certain time they would kill
him. He went to Rogers City and enter
ed complaint against a number of them
and warrants were issued and it was
the attempt to serve these that brought
on the war. The Sheriff arrested four
of the party at the church, when they
were rescued by the mob and he himself
badly used. He took refuge in the COM
plainant's saloon. The situation grow
ing threatening the proprietor under
took to get his wife and child into a
sleigh and get them away, but was fol-
lowed and brutually beaten by the in
furiated mob, but finally succeeded in
driving off, accompanied by the Sheriff,
when the inhabitants, men, women and
children, led, it is said, by the Polish
Catholic priest, vented their fury by at
lacking the house and completely
destroying it and the contents. Monday
Sheriff Kitchen returned with a force
of 200 men and succeeded i'm arresting
the ten men he had tried to arrest before
and about twenty others, all of whom
he took to Rogers City, and when Deput Y
Thomas left they were kept under guard
awaiting examination. The priest fled
but was captured at Alpena.

A Bonanza.

Recent developments would indicate
that Messrs. W. S. Humphrey, Charles
Kitchen and DR.. T. A. Perrin, of this
this place, had at least got good thing
in their New Mexico silver claim, if not
bonanza. Last week Capt. Kitchen
received letter from man in New
Mexico, offering $1,000 cash for one
fourth interest in the claim. The offer
was refused, but the gentleman was in
formed that he could have one
fourth interest in the claim at the
same ratio at which an interest
i'm the Washington mine, in the same
district, had sold for, viz: $18,6O0 for a
One-third interest. Messrs. Humphrey.
Kitchen and Perrin have been advised
to hold on to the claim as it had every
appearance of being "way-up" ore and
in large quantities. Mr.. Nels UpdegrOve
writes them that the mine has been
properly mOnumented and is recorded at
SacOra, the county seat. They are think
ing of stocking it and working it this
season.

A Word orr the Circuit Judgcship.

To the Editor of the NORTHERN TRIBUNE
The Governor has signed the bill re,
organizing the Eleventh Circuit. This
as it now reads provides that "nO person
shall be eligible to the Office of Judge in
any of said circuits unless he shall have
| resided in one of said circuits for 80 DAYS
next preceding the election therein"
Is the act constitutional?
One of the rights and privileges be-
! longing to an ,,eIectOr" is the right to
hold office.
What are the constitutional qualifica-
tiOns of an "electOr so far as residence is
concerned?
Ten days in the township and three
months in the state.
Can the Legislature take away this
right of an 'elector" to hold office and
debar him from being eligible thereto
on the ground of residence if he has re-
sided ten days in the township and three
months in the state?
1t is not in the power of the Legisla-
ture to establish arbitrary exclusions
from Office where the constitution has
not
3 Con. 7O3. s B. Mon. $50.
Does not the new act do this by requir.
ing him to be resident 80 days.
! Does it not dbridge his rights and priUi
teges.
Isn't this in violation of Sec. Article
IA of the constitution of the United
States which reads mo state shall make
or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of citizens
of the United States"
More than this the Supreme court of
this state i'm case of Royce as Goodwin
22d Mich. 459 hold that "a person is
eligible to the Office of circuit judge who
does not reside within the circuit for
which he is elected, and may continue
to be nonresident during his official
term"
Judge Campbell i'm his decision says
the constitution no where requires a resi-
dence in the circuit.
The question then occurs, can the
Legislature enlarge upon the cOnstitu-
tiOn by requiring it?
See Sd Mich. 1885,
Judge Goodwin thinks not.

He announces himself as a candidate
i'm that circuit.
