A Just Man.

/ Captain Uamsley was arraigned
before an Arkansaw court, having
been arrested OF charge of assault
with intent IL Kill. Inc high
standing of the gentleman, his great
henevoIence. and with all his cour-
teous bearing, caused a profound
sensation IN the community The
selection Of jury was no small
matter, for nearly every one seem
ed to have formed an opinion with
regard to the ease. Judge Granger,
as the lifelong friend OF the captain
asked TO he disqualified, and an
old lawyer, who had no friends,
and who would extend Justice
though the heavens might fall, was
elected as a sPecia, judge.
The testimony was direct. The
first man swere hat party Of ac-
quaintances, including Captain
Hamsley. sat around table relat-
ing "reminiscences. Suddenly, when
Mr.. Squawi began to relate an
incident, the captain sprang from
his seat, and selling A chair, knock
ed the man down and beat him
within a quarter of an inch Of his
life.
Another witness. man whose
wordno one could dispute, made
subsequently the same statement.
'-"Gentlemen of the jury" said
the judge, when the arguments
were closed, II see nothing IL this
case to warrant the most fieeting
SHADOW Of a doubt The captain,
though he may have the reputation
of being a good man, committed a
violent assault, and if The law De-
enforced, We can do no other act of
justice than TO send him to the
penitentiary Prisoner at the bar,
do you acknowledge the assault ?"
"Yes."
did the victim threaten you ?"
''No, sir"
"Then what have you to say in
defence of your violent conduct ?"
"Well, judge, you see, as stated
by witness, several of us SAT
around a table relating stories. AZ
ter awhile, the victim as you
term him, said: Gentlemen, before
the war That was enough for
me and L downed him
''Said before the war; oh ? You
did right, sir. Gentlemen of the !
Jury, return a verdict OF not guilty. /;
THIS is just man" -Arkansaw /,

II IL about tilhe JilaJ tilt young
men OF this parish come 10 the front
and took charge OF things. The
parish Of Madison has become 8
byword III all the cities who have

croakcd so long that they have
made outsiders believe thai Mad
i-on is wreck that the alligator is
the true It representative OF th:s sec
ton, that planting i y mere Incl
dent i'll the general occupations OF
the people and tist the people Of
this parish are Sat Oh their back

Suppose we try, to change this
little. and show tie outside bag
bar,ans what Madison yar.sE really
is. The TIvEs makes nU appea. q"
croakers or the "heto the wan
men. The young men Of the parish
are tie men who are appealed to,
men full of hope with some vim
leii in them anu who believe that
TIE leveCs Will be bull and the
country protected from overflow.
Let Us give a back seat to Men who
say dirt walls NIL not hold the big
river that IL cannot be confined To
its place, that the country Is ruined,
and all similar twadtlle. Dirt walls
can hold The big river, it can be
held III its place, the country is not
ruined, but the prospects ere bright,
brighte. than they ever were. Moth
ing can be accomplished 10y thumb
twiddIing and wind, there never
has been and never viii be.
Instead Of the old plan let us all
make point Of impressing upon
all with whom We come IN contact.
that there are live men here, earnest
men, men who tholk there is fu-
ture to this parish, and that it is
not far off, that one nor two nor q
dozen overllows can ruin this par
ish, that we will not be ruined, hut
that we viii stand up for Madison,
aud disown the croakers. Make a |
noise, let people know that there is |
such a parish as Madison, that it
Ias the very best, mot as good as
my soil in the world. 1t is well |
well timbered, and has all !
he advantages necessary to make
prosperous and happy people.
1t is folly TO talk obnut the bad !
health of this country The I'M
preston prevails very generally, !
hat II : nearly sure death TO come |
nto these swamps and stay over
summer. Even the Vicksburgers
nave the impudence TO talk about
he malaria over here, when there
5. more malaria to the square inch

S here to the square foot. Those
old hills, Of which Vicksb,lrg

10 one attempts to deny that chills

hey are not common, just as COM
lon as here, and besides, have
hills and fever ever frightened
eople off from any country where
honey is to be made? When that
said, all is said, about the i'll
ealth of this country. So let us {
Il drop .:he habit OF running down l
lr own country, lot Us tell its adj
lntages, instead. Admit the draw
acks, but offset them by cnumer-
ing the many advantages of which
is possessed. Try this plan and {

A special from Freeport, dated
March 22d:-A large and enthusias-
tic meeting Of citizens was held yes
terday at Winslow, this county,
some twenty miles northwest of
Freeport, looking forward to the
building of II railroad up the Peca-
tonica Valley to Dodgeville, Wis ,
and thence to st Paul over the line
which some five or six years ago a
narrow gauge road was TO have been
built. The right Of way through
Dodgeville was carried, and over
100000 was pledged in subscrip-
ticn, but the scheme failed, it is al
legged, because the Chicago and
Northwestern Company refused to
fulfil it's agreement About twenty
milee of the seventy between here
and Dodgeyille were graded but no
iron was put down. The name of
the company, which talks like bust
ness now, is the Chicago, Freeport
and St. Paul, of which William O..
Wright, of this city, is President.
If 81 600 per per mile between here
and Dodgeville can now be raised
by subscription along the line it is
