Utterly nonsensical Is all this contro-
versy which numbers of Republican
journals are making about the positions
given to Southern Congressman. So
nonsensical that it is not worthy the
answers and explanations given by
Democratic papers. It is only the
echo of sectionalism long since buried
too deep under the united interests OF
the country to be brought into actual
existence again at the hysterical call
OF editors either too far removed from
those interests to know Of what deep
and universal moment they are, or too
blindly devoted to party success to caro-
. fig how it is brought about.
What difference does it make from
what section two or three moro COM

those OF the East and West a. there II

Even more, in fact, for the growing

manufacturers Of New England and the
iron men of Pennsylvania are not even

tically identical.

Mr.. Thomas Sturgis, on yesterday,
was receiving kilograms from Chicago,
sent in response to those of the execu-
tive committe of the stock association
dispatched some days ago to the COVER
nors of several of the states east; in
quiriug of him whether the state of Ne
braska had the same law having for its
object the protection of stock, that we
have here in Wyoming i, the inference
being that it is considered there that if
that state had been far-seeing enough
to enact a law like ours, the stock men
would be masters of the situation. Mr..
Sturgis was compelled to answer that
there was no law similar to ours in that
state.
"If they had" said Mr.. Sturgis to
u reporter, 81 believe there would be
but little trouble in smothering out this
foot and mouth disease among cattle.
L vas anxious, and so was the asso-
citation, that they should pass a law like
ours, and L went down there-went
down to Lincoln and took along copies
Of the bill and was there for some
weeks while their legislature was in
session and tried to get them to pass
this same law, but they would not. The
grangers defeated it."
Mr.. Sturgis says the executive COM
mittee Of the association are holding
meetings about every day 70 consider
the cattle plague situation, and if no
satisfactory response is received to the
requests that have been sent from here,
and no decided steps are taken by the
authorities east and southeast of Wyo-
ming to preventive spread of the dis
ease to and across our borders, then
the stock men will ask Governor Hale
to issue a proclamation quarantining
the territory. That this step mayh ave
to be taken is of course a source of
much regret, but it is perhaps a rene
dy that will have to be resorted to for
the protection OF the territory.

City to his assistance. She found him
in a very precarious condition and
nearly helpless, but with no one to
assist her took him from there and pro-
ceeded clear through to Austin, Texas,
where Mr.. Searight and family now
reside, and where he is lying i'll. This
journey Of 1000 miles alone with her
sick father to care for was something
that few young ladies could have
accomplished, but then Miss Starlight
always was a young lady Of far more

Late Chief Justice of wyoming.

The Late Chief Justice OF wyoming.
learned yesterday, that he had re-
signed and left. 1 would have preferred
his presence at the time of this com
munication. 1 am not responsible for
his abrupt departure.
l rarely see our city papers. 1
learned to-day, for the first time, that
the LEADER of the 18th inst. published
a telegram, signed by Messrs. Baird &
Campbell and by myself, sent to Wash
ington against the denomination Of this
judge, and as containing the expression
Sour letters ipill be ,pithdraton," The
word, tour" was enormously, and, 1
believe, inadvertently inserted in the
print. The expression in the original
is-"letterS toiH be toithdrat1n''-not
prefixed by the word sour" referring,
and intended only to refer to letters,
which Messrs. Baird & Campbell had
written for his denomination. 1 had
written no letter for that purpose: l
could not conscientiously have done it
land for the following reasons-which
l make haste to present-and which
are anything but new with me.
Ignorant of principles, books and
sound practice; yet infatuated with the
fancy, that he was versed in all: writing
opinions, that rarely rise above the
quality Of babble; rendering decisions,
which it would be difficult to reconcile
with ignorance; and which suggest the
necessity of graver explanation: I'M
truthful and selfsh-prying, informed
ding and Observation-Disclosures
vain-glorious, arbitrary, coarse and
MISUNDERSTANDING and sycho-
phantic by turns, as opportunity, or
prudence seems to dictate: a poor law
yer and a Lad hearted judge-he has
discredited the administration, that ap-
pointed him-he has discredited the
bench, that held him-he has afflicted
the territory, whose good was his duty.
He not only reduced his noted fence
case to a much-a-do-about nothing: but
the aspect of its files pretty plainly in
dicates, that he designed to temporize
between the parties-to flatter the sec
rotary, whose vote he might need in
the cabinet; and to sooth the fencing
element, whose opposition he feared
to smooth down its raven wing, until
it smiled. His reappointment would
have been a calamity-his retirement
will be a relief. A judge, who is COM
petent for talent, learning,
and disposition, and beyond suspicion
of motive, is strongly to be commended:
a judge, who is deficient in these par
ticulars, is strongly to be condemned.
A community, which has no voice of
indignant remonstrance against such a
reproach upon its administration of
justice. is wanting in the first condition
of healthfulness-self-respect

MARRIED

S0LAR-REEVES-At the residence of the
brides parents in this city, Wednesday after
noon at 1:30 o'clock. Mr.. Frank Solar. of
Ledyard. Wis, to Miss Maria Reeves, oil
Grand Rapids, by Rev. j ohm Rowland.
The marriage ceremony uniting the
above couple was witnessed by large
concourse of relatives and friends.
The brides toilet was very beautiful,
and remarkable for its simplicity and
good taste. The groom was dressed
in suit of plain black. Rev. Rowland
performed the ceremony in his usual
pleasing and af1uent manner and every
thing connected with the nuptials was
carried out in graceful and unique
way. After partaking of sumptuous
wedding dinner the newly married
couple departed for their future home,
Ledyard, Wis, with a God speed from
a host of warm friends. They were
kindly remembered with long list of
beautiful presents.

Our County Fair.

The county fair under the present
management especially due to the
proclivities of the President and Treas
urer is proving to be an entire failure.
Last year the only attraction was
horse racing and that was very poor.
the Jockies always selling out before
hand. The scrub and running races
this year are interesting, but that is
the only merit due them. The trotting
is brazen sell outs. The agricul-
tural department is very meagre also
the art department. The reasons for
this is apparent. We do not wish to be
understood that what is exhibited this
year in the art and agricultural depart
ments are below par, no, not by any
means, but there is a scarcity of exhib-
its; the buildings are not kept up as
they should be- The President and
Treasurer who do the engineering of
the societys affairs incline too much
to horse racing which usually proves a
humbug. The stock holders should
see to it this year that the proper
kind of men are elected and placed at
the head of affairs 80 that next year
we may have fair that will be of
interest to all classes. The receipts
at the gates during Wednesday amonnt-
ed to over $3.50 owing to the large
political gathering in this city.

STATE SENATOR.

The nomination of John Edwards,
by the democrats, for senator in this
district is one of the best nominations
they have made for some time. We
have no doubt but that Mr.. Edwards
will carry his own { Wood county,,
but this is the only county he is really
sure of. Price, Taylor, Lincoln, Ash
land and Clark counties will be carried
by the republican candidate, providing
the republicans nominate good man,
We believe Clark county man is the
proper one to nominate, as that county
always redeems this senatorial district.
M. G. Ring seems to be the choice of
Clark county republicans and will
undoubtedly receive the nomination on
the 18th. If Mr.. Ring is the choice
of Clark county he ought to receive
the nomination. Mr. Edwards once
belonged to the republican party but
for some time past has cast his lot
with the greenbackers. How Mr., Ed
wards can accept democratic nomina-
ton in the face of his past party record
is conundrum to his former party
friends. We predict his defeat by
1000.
Since the above was written the re-
publican convention has been held at
Marshfeld and placed in nomination
NJ. C. Ring, Of Clark county.
