Abraham Lincoln in the Black Hawk
War


''When member of congress, Mr..
Lincoln made a very amusing campaign
speech, in which, abiding to the Gus
tom of exaggerating the military SER
vices of candidates, and ridiculing the
extravaganza claims to heroism sch up
for Gen. Lewis Cass, then a candidate
for the presidency against Gen. Zachary
Taylor, he referred with great good
humor to his own services in the Black
Hawk war in the following terms:
by the way, Mr. Speaker, did you
know | am military hero? Yes, sir; in
the days of the Black Hawk war
fought, bled, and came away. Speak
ing of Gen. Cass's career reminds me
of my own. | was not at Stillman's
defeat. but l was about as near it as
Cass was to Hul's surrender; and, like
him, saw the place very soon after
wards. 1t is quite certain | did not
break my sword, for | had none to
break; but | bent my musket pretty
badly on one occasion. If Cass broke
his sword, the idea is he broke il in
desperation. | bent my musket by ac-
cident. Ii Gen. Cass went in advance
OF me in picking whortleberries, guess
| surpassed him in charges upon the
wild onions. If he saw any live fight
ing Indians it was more than | did;
but had good many bloody struggles
with the mosquitoes, and, although
never tainted from the loss of blood,
can truly say | was often very hungry.
Mr.. Speaker, if / should ever conclude
to doff whatever our democratic friends
may suppose there is of black cockade
federalism about me, and thereupon
they shall take me up as their candidate
for the presidency, Lprotest they shall
not make fun of me, as they have of
Gen. Cass, by attempting to write me
into military hero Prom Arnola's
life Of AbrahaDa Lincoln.

Legislative.

The Senate passed a bin appropria-
ting $4,000 for the purchase of an exc
cutive residence. A bill passed provi-
ding for greater economy in the pur-
chase of supplies for State institutions.
Assembly bills were concurred in pro-
viding for the collection of list of
Union veterans during the next State
census.and providing that peaceful per-
mission to erect telephone, electric
hight or telegraph wires upon buildings
is not sufficient presumption of perpet-
ual right to do so.
Senator Stanley reported a completed
bill, which proposes to make some i'm
portant changes in the present law by
which criminals escape punishment by
resorting to the insanity dodge.
The joint committee on claims re-
ported the Agricultural College bill
Messrs. Kidd, Adams and O'Neill ia
voring the measure, and Messrs. Carey.
Mccoy and Nash recommending indeii-
mite postponement.
After stubborn fight, beginning
early in the session, Senator Jonas final
~ succeeded in getting his Bankruptcy
bill through the senate, although shorn
OF several provisions which would have
been productive of great mischief TO
bankers and business men.
The Judiciary committee reported
antagonistic to the following bills: In
creasing the fees of sheriffs to 10 cents
per mile, for removing persons TO in
sane asylums; confering civil iuIisdie.
ton on the municipal court of Milwau-
kee county, concurrent with the circuit
court of said county, and fixing the sal
ary of the municipal judge at $4,000;
making husband and wife competent
witnesses against each other in criminal
cases.
The confirmation of Col. Villas as post
master-general vacates his seat in the
assembly, the state constitution so
prescribing, in cases where members of
the legislature accept any Federal office
As the vacancy did not occur until to-
day, and it requires twenty days notice
before his successor can be elected, it is
not likely that the successor will take
much part in the business of this session.
1t is believed that exc Congressman Burr
w. Jones will be brought forward BY
the Democrats to succeed Villas.

it is hard to tell as yet to whom the H.

The movement is not due, however, to
any proclaimed policy of the new adj
minstration, nor to the Democratic
party here; it is simply case of .'indi-
vidual' enterprise, concocted some
months ago, and actively worked up
now. The present incumbent does not
seem to realize his danger, but ropes in
the coppers and licks stamps the same
as usual. He remarks, that having
served out his ''termn of ten years, with
few months thrown in for good meas
ure, he considers he has done full pen

that no one will throw up the past, as
it might discourage him. AS to the
present contest, it ''isn't his oyster, y
