 In vain Colonel Wilders pleaded that while he was at fault in not restraining men who were bent on plunder in the name of contraband," he could not possibly have foretold that so much misery and crime would have followed :; and that he should not be made to die fos what was, at most, grave oversight without any criminal intention, even in the remotess degree. He was given q few minutes in which to pray. He knelt down and that band of seven men heard these words, spoken with . spirit and fervor they never forgot:

A Renaissance.

John A. Logan was democrat
previous to the war, and the record
shows that he was as rank a partisan
then as he is now. We find the fol-
lowing in the record of the debate
on the election of a speaker of the
house of representatives in 1860,
prior to the holding of the Charles
ton convention:
Mr.. SINGLETON said that the south will
have an expansion of slavery in the
Union, and outside of it If they must.
He thought that the sooner Mississippi
gets out of the linton the better. He also said,
while speaking against squater sovereignty, that
he would not vote for Judge Douglas if that
gentleman should be the nominee of the Charles
ton convention.
Mr.. LOGAN said that he came from state
Qllinois) claiming to be democratic, and was q
friend of Judge Douglas; but he would vote fol
any man nominated by that convention, from
the East, West, North or South, FOR THE PUR.
POSE OF PUTTING DOWN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

JUSTICE TO GENERAL BRAGG.

The Wisconsin State Journal
publishes the following relative to
the case of the proprietor of the
fremont House, Chicago, against
Gen. E. S. Bragg:
Hon. D. K. Tenney, in conversation with a
State Journal reporter to-day, related some
facts which have heretofore not been pub
lished TO the world, in relation to the case
which he brought two years ago for the Ire
mont house, of Chicago, against Gen. E. S.
Bragg. of Fond du Lac. and which caused the
arrest ,,of that gentleman upon the eve of his
departure for the congressional convention at
West Bend, where he and Delaney had the
notable fight. He said that the suit had been
dismissed some time ago, and that it ought
never to have been commenced. There was
no element of fraud in the transaction on
which to base the arrest, in the first place"
said Mr.. Tenney. 1.-The fact is, the book
keeper of the fremont house. without authority
loaned Gen. Bragg a considerable sum Of
money, and charged it to his account. When
| Bragg got ready to leave he drew a DRAFT for
! the money and for his bill, but the draft was
not honored, though l have no doubt the Gen
eral thought it would be, and had good reasons
to think So Mr.. Rice, proprietor of the IRE
| mont, was away at the time. On his return,
the bookkeeper, probably 10 shield himself,
| represented to Rice that the General obtained
| the money on the draft, and Rice and myself
| had no doubt such was the fact until six
] months or more after the suit was brought.
Upon catechizing the bookkeper with view
time that the transaction was simply one of
| debt and credit, and that the suit was improv-
! identity brought, under a misaprehension of
| the facts and SO I wrote the General. He
| made the draft good in cash some time ago.
Both Mr.. Rice and myself were greatly NOR
titled at the injustice done General Bragg. 1t
was thought by many at the time the suit was
brought that it was done for political pur-
| poses and to injure the Generals chances of
nomination. Nothing could be more absurd.
l have been a friend of his and favored his
| nomination. Politics, however never interferes
with my professional action. On the state
ment Of facts given me by my client thought
had a good cause of action, and commenced
the suit accordingly. The suit was commenced
considerable time before the convention.
Judge Dyer, being out of town, did not make
the order of arrest until the day before, SO it
was served and became public at very
fortunate time. / knew nothing about that
until it came out in the newspapers, and
very much regretted that the thing happened
as it did. l SO wrote Bragg at the time. 1
don't think this transaction would stand
the test of mercantile morals, but there was
no element of deceit or artitice in ii, only an
over-cofdence as to the draft being paid. That
is all 1 am glad to have an opportunity to
explain the matter publicly, as I have long
since done privately concluded Mr.. Tenney.

GOV. ST. Johns Letter.

The following is the full text OF
the letter written by Ex-Gov. st.
John of Kansas, and published in
the New York Witness:
OLATHE, Kan, June 9.-George r. Scott New
York-My Dear Friend:-The Chicago conven-
ton has come and gone, without the expression
of even a word of sympathy for the millions
of men, women and children who are to-day
struggling to protect tie homes of the people
against the evil influences of the dramshops.
1t could cross the snow-capped Rockies and
pitch into the Mormons and Chinese; it could
demand protection to wool, but. for fear of
offending the whisky and beer ring. it dare
not utter a word of protection 10 the homes of
the land against the American saloon, the giant
evil of the age. God pity such cowardice. I.
for one. propose to condemn it by My ballot
The action of the convention in entirely ig-
noring the temperance question is an insult to
every prohibitionist in this country and ought to
be resented as such. Ever your friend.

A few weeks since the Milwauk,

A few weeks since the Milwaukee
Sentinel and Evening Wisconsin,
both republican papers, were loud
in their defense of President Bas.
com, of the state university, who
was being attacked by Boss Reyes
for his efforts at enforcing the Sun
day law in Madison. But 10, and
behold, when DR.. Bascom embold-
ened by the warm support thus
rendered him, attacked the lion in
his den, and spoke i'll Milwaukee
on the enforcement of the Sunday
law, these two papers jumped the
fence, and as strongly oppose him
as they had before supported him
in the enforcement of the Sunday
law at Madison, Mr.. Bascom must
certainly feel proud of his " fool
friends" who have no more honor
than to be law observers outside of
Milwaukee, but law breakers as soon
as the German vote appears.

A RiSIOD StODS a Fight,

While the new bishop of Dakota
DR.. Walker, was on a visit to q
clergyman of his diocese at Wah.
peton on Sunday, he saw opposite q
saloon seventy or eighty men form,
ing ring around two others who
were engaged in a desperate fight
Their cloths were torn and blood
stained, and one was nearly blinded.
Bishop Walker broke into the ring,
and, going up to one of the struggling
men, who was kicking the other in
the face, attempted to drag him
away. He then said: "Will no
one help to separate these menu"
"Let them have it out" cried
someone in the crowd.
Then the bishop, lifting himself
up to his full height, his eyes blaz-
ing with indignation and contempt,
said:
SIS it possible that the manhood
of all of you is gone? Are you
only wolves? Shame on youp'
The whole crowd for a moment
stood dazed and amazed. Then
four or five rushed forward and
helped the bishop to drag the men
apart. His hands and clothes were
soiled with blood in the struggle.
Then, standing between the two men,
who were glaring at each other and
streaming with blood, he asked two
or three of the crowd to take one OF
the men to his home, and two or
three others to lead the other man
away, This they did. Then the
crowd quietly dispersed. Ex.

The platform, in effect, declares
that unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation; that taxes ought to be re-
duced to the lowest possible limit,
with due regard to the necessary
expenses of the country, but de-
mands a high tariff on luxuries and
