We are well aware that this article is
not the first one that was ever written on
the aboye named subject. In fact several
papers have contained effusions of this
character, and possibly we may have said
word or two about it ourselves, but 10
matter, we have Railroad on the brain
this morning, and we propose to blow off
steam, no matter il j. frightens all the
slow coaches in town.


WE WANT A RAIL ROADl We
acant 1t nooo and that's what's the mat
ter The people of this town are fast
asleep. Here is one of the best locations
for city in the State. We have har-
Dor unequalled on Lake Michigan. We
are far enough removed from any large
city to be wholly uninfuenced by it. We
are so situated that we can draw on
very rich portion of the state for all that
will enrich us and add to our population
and strength We are a long distance
nearer market than other cities on the
lake, and all we need is communication
with the country to the west of us. We
do not swear-much-bu when we see
our citizens squat down supinely and let
Sheboygan, Green Bay and every other
little hamlet in the neighborhood go
ahead of us all for the want of a few miles
of Railroad track, we feel that somebody
needs scussing" Sheboygan in short
time will have a track to Fond du Lac,
and already business men are rushing
thither and her streets present an ami
mated scene. Green Bay has voted
100000 bonds to railroad to the west
and that town too is springing into new
life and vigor. It may answer for old
fogies to sit and tell Of our superior
advantages, but we wish to inform you,
gentlemen. it will not build town.
What is it that has made Chicago? you
answer railroads. What is making Mil
waukee? We answer railroads and ship
ping facilities.


If no one cares a cent whether there is
a town of any importance here or not the
sooner we know it the better, but it is
our impression that a road can be built
from here to Menasha within year if
some of our leading men will take the
matter in hand and say that it shall
be done.

[From the Big Sandy Qky.) Herald June 1s,l


On Sunday last, man named Clark,
who lives near Keeser's Rocks, on Sandy,
came to town and got beastly drunk, went
home, and, as usual when in the state,
commenced abusing his family, and kept
it up until Il late hour in the night beat
ing his wife, theatening to shoot her, the
children, or some one else, before the
next day. He put gun into the mouth
of one OF the children and threatening to
shoot him, but an elder boy knocked the
gun away and took it from him. jTIe
then sent another child somewf ere in
the neighborhood of his house Ca fie d. to
get another gun he had loaded, all the
time vowing he would Kill some one.
While the child was gone he pulled his
bed into the floor and laid down, when
the mother, for fear of her life, or that
Of her children, seized an axe and struck
him several blows, the first of which
proved fatal, he not moving after being
struck.


The woman and her family were arrest
ed and brought to town on Monday, and
examined before Judge Norris. The
evidence proved that the act was done
to save herself or her children from MUIR
der, and they were discharged.

asylums, kill negroes, or do any other
Satanic thing at the behest of their party
leaders, it is meet that the vile conspira-
cy to defeat the great chief of the age

cocted and perfected Foul as the party

noses, and looked men in the face with an

well with me- 1t is pleasure to look


at such body of men, and our people

On Saturday the Fourth day of July
the Democratic Convention will assemble
in New York City. The crowd that will
assemble there IS forcibly set forth in the
columns of the Chicago Post as follows.
Sitting his convictions and curbing
his aversions, the War Democrat who
was courageous enough to fight bravely
on the field. but who lacks the nerve to
break away from the wicked party the
Copperhead Democrat, doubling whether
to fiaunt his mean treachery to the Gov
ernmcnt during the war as badge of
distinction, or to play hypocritlcal
Union role, in the hope Of binding the
eyes of the country to his real design and
true character; the miserable nondes
script who In the South, out of the re-
gard to the conditions Of his personal and
financial safety, did not go into the rebel
army, but staying at home, the pretend
ed friend of the Union cause, acted con-
stantly as a spy upon Union troops, and
almost nightly put murderous guerrillas
upon the track of Union men: and the
unrepentant, malignant rebel soldier,
who for more than four years in the
cause of human slavery rnddened South
ern plains with Northern blood, and
filed Southern soil with Northern bones
determining now to rule where he could
not ruin, will be there. The Seymours
and the Rhetts, the Valandighams and
the FORESTS, the Hancocks and the
Buckners, the Changers and the Beaure-
CARDS, the Pomeroys and the Semmeses
will be there upon common level, in
spired with a common purpose, and fused
together by common hatred. Differ
ences of view upon finance, upon suffrage
upon the tariff upon the taxes upon candi-
dates even will all disappear before the
great necessity of organizing the most
vigorous campaign possible against the
Republican party.


Why will this heterogeneous mass seek
the overthrow of the Republican rule?
Why is it that the party which, when
the right of the President it had consti-
tutIonally elected to preside over the
whole nation was disputed by armed
rebels. boldly assumed the responsibility
of opposing force with force: which, for
four years waged for the Union the most
stupendous warfare Of ancient or modern
times, winning victory in spite of Dem
ocratic treason and Democratic doubts,
and at last gathering up the shattered
fragments 0f government in the conquer
ed States, reconstructed them into more
than their former symmetry, with slavery
everywhere destroyed; why is it, we say,
that this party must go down upon the
very eve of Its triumph, and in the very
midst of its usefulness, before its ancient
enemy? Simply because that enemy, re-
pellant and discordant as are its different
corps, divisions and regiments, is eager
for spoils and determined to obtain them
1t can give no reason why there should
be change in the political character of
the Government except that It's leaders
want office. It matters nothing to the
Democracy that the country has been dis
tracted by long war and needs rest: It
matters nothing to it that the loyal peo-
pie, with unaninity never equaled, haye

Captain Schoenecker, of the Fifth Dis
trict Police Precinct, desired this reporter
yesterday morning to make NO mention
then of the arrest of a colored man named
Daniel Lewis, suspected of being the mur-
derer of the Barracks street car driver and
his son.


The circumstantial evidence against him
Is strong. His arms were bloody on the
night Of the murder; his shirt and pants
were spotted with blood and he secreted
them, but they have since been found. The
police authorities are investigating the
matter thoroughly and hope to obtain
sufficient testimony to convict the muir
derer. Evidence is accommodating.

Radical demagogues have great deal
to say about the alleged revolutionary
intentions of Gen. Blair, and the Demo-
cratic party, in case of success at the
November election. Nothing was ever
more groundles than this charge. There
was not one syllable in Gen. Blairs
Brodhead letter, that, properly inter-
preted, could be construed to favor any
remedy for the evils of reconstruction
not to be found within the provisions
of the Constitution; and certainly there
was nothing in the proceedings of the
New York Convention that was not the
reverse of revolutionary in its charac-
ter. True, the resolutions there adopt
ed declare the reconstruction legislation
of Congress to be unconstitutional aBd
absolutely null and void, but if that as
sertion of very obvious truth be revo-
lutionary then is the Constitution it
self revolutionary. If it be true as is 80
often asserted that the Convention
adopted the very decided and express
sive language used in censure of the re-
construction policy at the instance OF
Wade Hampton, that gentleman's de-
NAL of any thought of getting rid of a
policy so debasing and ruinous in any
other mode than through the decisions
of the courts ought to go for something
with those who have so constantly tried
to make capital ont of the fact that he
was one of the leading spirits of the
Convention. ....

He had called them both Emily and
Nora when Sir Marmaduke and Lady
Rowley were with them before the mar
riage, and, taking the liberty of a very
old family friend, had continued the
practice. Mrs. Trevelyan was quite
aware that she had been so called by

and that her husband had not objected.
But that was now some months age, be-
fore baby was born; and she was aware
also that he had not called her so lat
terly in the presence of her husband.
She thorougly wished that she knew
how to ask him not to do so again; but
the matter was very difficult, as she
could not make such request without
betraying some fear on her husbands
part. The subject which they were now
