A judicial election took place in Il
linois a little over two weeks ago, in
which two Judges of the Supreme
Coiirt and thirty-oue Circuit Judges
were to bo voted for. The .Judges of
the Supreme Court in that State are
elected by districts, and not by preneral
ticket. T1ip returns of the election
show that wh:it is known in that ami
other Western States as the "Farmers'

This "Ka rmers' Party" in the West
' has assumed immense proportions, as
( is e vident from the result of this judi-
cial eh-ction in Illinois, and foreshadows
' the speedy dissolution of the radical
party in the Western anil Northwestern
States, soon to become the controlling
' jxditical power in the country. The
farmers' party is composed of "grang
es," or club, and is well organized in
I every Western and Northwestern State.
Its granges or clubs exist in almost
every county, and in some of the States
its members are said to constitute a
majority of the voters. The granges,
like the order of Odd Fellows and
scores of other organizations of a simi
lar character, conduct their business in
' secret. Tiny act independently of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties, as was made manifest in the
Illinois election both the successful
candidates for the Supreme bench lac
ing Democrats, while the other Judges
elected belong to both parties, but at
the same time publicly endorse the
farmers' movement. The leading and
controlling puiposes of the farmers'
partv is opposition to all sorts of mo
nopoly, but especially to the monopoly
of the railroad companies in their
freight charges for the transportation
of grain and other western products to
a market. It also demands a reduc
tion of the present high protective tariff
and insists upon a repeal of the swind
ling national banking system now in
existence.
In consequence of a decision of the
Supreme Court of Illinois in the interest
of the railroads of that State, as is al
leged, the farmers' party commenced
its first onslaught On the judiciary,
with the result we have mentioned.
The decision of the Court referred to
was delivered by Judge Lawrence, and
against his re-election all the power of
the farmers' granges was brought to
bear, and with decided success.
This effort of the Illinois farmers to
change the law and to elect no man as
a judge who does not sympathize with
them, and who will not consent to car
ry out their jteculiar notions on the
lench, has met with severe cowl em na
t:on at the hands of a respectable por
tion of the press. We do not think it
ought to create any undue surprise,
since it is merely one. of the inevitable
accomplished without regard to 'results ot an elective judiciary. Ihe

The Constitutional Convention last
week, by the meagre vote of 47 yeas to
28 nays, a little more than one-half its
number, passed to third reading the
following important provisions in re
ference to the number of Senators and
Members of the House :

territory, hs equal in population pusMUle ;
and each district fhall tie entitled to two or

exceeding one senatorial ratio and three

of the whole number of members.

of 2,0vO inhabitant to each member, except
that no county ihall have less than one mem

couuty having an excess of three-fifths of

above apjKirtioniuent, and counties having j
the largest surplus orer one or more ratios ;
shall be entitled to one additional member
until the number of 150 members is arrived
at.
As soon as this constitution is adopted the
legislature shall apportion the state in ac
cordance with the provihions of the two pre
ceding sections. Counties and th; city of
Philadelphia entitled totnore than one mem

This is not a new question, in as
much as it has 1 teen the subject of dis
cussion for sereral 3'ears. lnour judg

the proposed increase. It is advocated
on the sole ground, that it would Ik; ;

IlBAPQCA 11TER3, DEPAttTMEXT OF CoU-
UJiniA, in the Field, Tule Lake, Cal., June,
173. .Tack : Since white men first began to
travel through or settle in the country oc
cupied by Hie Modocs, a iieojile. of which
you claim" to be one of the chiefs, the Mo
does li.ive iteen known a-s a hand ot" mer"ilcss
robbers and murderers. The ltiatory of
yonr tribe is Ailed with accounts of the
murders of the white race. Kvcu among
your Indian neighliors yon are known as a
domineering and tyrannical tribe. Old
settlers in the country report as many as
300 murders committed by your jK-ojtle
within the limits of the present generation.
Along the shores of this beautiful little
rake, in view of whieh we now stand, are
the graves of over sixty victims of Mjdoc
barbarity, all murdered by yonr immediate
ancestors in brutal acts. They were peace
ful emigrants, men, women, and children,
passing quietly through the country on the
public highway. For these many crimes no
adequate punishment has ever been visited
upon the guilty, either as a tribe or individ
ually. Upon the contrary, the Ooverument
had tacitly overhioked them. A few years
ago, regardless of these acts of treachery, it
gave yon a reservation of land for a home,
where if you chose you could remain anl
enjoy the annual bounties of the Govern
ment unmolested. You all went upon the
reservation thus proridoil, ami part of your
trilie has remained. IJut you and your hand

left the reservation. You spnrnod the kind
ness of the ( loverninont, and even resisted
the soldiers in the execution of their duty
while endeavoring to force you back to the
reservation. You hastened "to fight. Emu
lating the bloody deeds of your fathers, you
again strewed the chores of Tule J-ake with
the slain victims of your bloody batul. AH
those victims were eaeeful and unsuspect
ing citizens, and were slaughtered while at
their daily advocations. You then Hod to
your stronghold, the lava beds, prepared for
war, and defied the jwtwer of the Govern
ment. Still, the President at Washington
orilered the soldiers to icsit until the Peace
Commissioners could have a talk with you,
and, if possible, avoiil shedding more blood.
Their efforts wen? fruitless. After much
delay and many attempts at conciliation on
their part, yon decoyed thw Ccimiii.ssioiiers
into your hands. Armed or unarmed, these
acts have placed you and your band outside
of the rules of civilized warfare. In other
words, yon have inadu yourselves ontlaws ;
and as such, since my arrival here as the
successor of Genera! Canhy (whom you
murdered with your own hands), I havo
made unremitting war upon your race and
upon yon, until at last you have been cap
tured, after much expense to the Govern
ment and loss of many valuable lives. Now
that I have recounted yonr history and that
of your trite the recent acts of yourself
and baud I will close this interview by in
forming you that I have this day directeP
that yon and your confederaths, members of

and the assembled citizens of the country.
THK DELAY AND ITS CAl'SB.
While I was preparing a list of those I
intended to execute, a courier arrived with
the instructions from Washington, "Hold

the execution I intended organizing a force
for the purpose of starting for Colombia,
and probably for I-apwai, m-eing and talk

en route. I knew that the. prompt execu

Indians all through the country. The In

Modoc, and they will quickly learn the
news if the death penalty is inflicted. The
chastisement would result in a mutual lxn

prestige the troops hare gained we could do
great good by such a campaign.

clause in the Constitution. The ground on
whieh the plaintiff iu this cae rests his
case, is that furnished in the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution, with
whieh the State huv is manifestly in con
tlict. The language of that amendmeut is
in section first : "All persons bom or na
turalized in the United States, and subject
to the jurisdiction thereof, ai-e citizens of
the United States and of the State where
in they reside. No State shall make or
en fore any law which shall abridge the
privilege or immunities of citizens of the
United States." And the Fifteenth
Amendment likewise provides that "the
rights of citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States, or by any State, on account
of race, color, or previous condition of
servitude." The case seems a perfectly
e'ear one. A naturalized citizen is first a
cit;zen of the United States, and of the
Btitcof his residence. .Next, such State
is forbidden to make or enfore any law
abridging the privileges or immunities of
a citizen of the United States. Willliam
Heach Lawrence, Esq., and Charles
O' Con or, Esq., are counsel for the plain
tiff, and, in view of the principles involved,
the importance f the issuu to the politics
of the State, and the uipus.iug ability of
the counsel engaged, the Legisiature is to
be memoralized to defend tho suit at the
cost of the State. If the latter amend
ment of the Constitution covers the rights
of black men, why not those of white cit
izens ?

ATTKMPILI) Mt'KDtK AND SCICIDK.
at Hudson, N. II., Henry Jewett, twenty-
five years of age, lias been endeavoring to
lorce ins suit with Miss hlla Wood, a
daughter of Charles Wood. Miss Wood
rejected his offer of marriage, and her pa
rents also opjiosed it. Morula) morning Jew
ett visited Miss W ood, pulled from his
pocket a six-shooter, aimed it at her head.
and fired. The ball entered her forehead
just above the eye, and lodged under the
skin. Miss Wood fell upon the floor, but
not insensible ; it is hoped tho wound is
not mortal. Jewett then passed from the
house to the yard, where he met Mr. Wood,
and attempted to assassinate him. Mr.
VM.d caught the enraged man by the
throat, warded off the aim of the pistol,
and so fortunately escaped. Jewett then
put the pistol to his own car and dis
charged it, the ball entering his head and
causing a wonud that must prove fatal.
Tho indications are that it was Jewctt's in
tention to murder the entire family.
Latkr. The shooting affair referred to
occurred in a sitting-room of Charles
Wood's farm-house. After the first shot
was tired Mr. NVood grappled with the as
sassin, when a fearful life and death strug
gle ensued, in which Jewett attempted to
take Mr. Wood's life. Wood finally over
came Jewett and crushed him to the floor,
when the latter placed the pistol at his
own head and fired. In the excitement
Mr. Wood dragged hiiu out of tho house
by the heels, and left him-uuder a tree to
die. Dr. Smith has probed Jewett's
wound to a depth of live inches, and says
he cannot live. While he had his senses
he asked forgiveness for what he had
done. Some years ago Jewett married a
Miss Smith of this city, but the marriage
was an unhappy one, and they soon separa
ted. Miss Wood's wound is worse than at
first repotted. It has been probed to a
depth of three inches, aud although she is
conscious, her recovery is doubtful.
Somkthing Meaner Than the Back
Pat Steal. A Washington despatch to
the Titan says :
There has been a good deal of indigna
tion privately expressed by persons inter
ested at the manner in which the volumes
of the ifedicul and Surgical History of tle.
War have been disposed of by some mem
bers of Congress. There were from nine
to eleven sets printed for each Senator and
member of the House. One would suppose
that every member would have, at least,
that small number of physicians in his dis
trict to whom he would esteem it a privi
lege to send the set, and who would be anx
ious to secure it ; but mysteriously, a large
number of sets found their way'into the
lianits of tlcalt-i s in wcond-Iisnil'lnioks nud
document brokers, and at one time they
were selling for $1) to $10 a set. The price
has since increased somewhat, but there
are still sets to bo had at a very moderate
price compared with the cost to the gov
ernment. There is no doubt that several
members sold their sets outright, or allow
ed persons connected with, or dependent
upon, them, to make sales and pocket tho
prices.
Aeronautics. Boston is great on or
gans, on musical jubilees, great conflagra
tions, etc., etc.; but when monster aeronau
tics are talked of it desires to be counted
out. Hence we find that tho councils of
the Hub, having first coquetted with
Messrs. Wise and Donaldson in regard to
the stamps necessary to pay for the cost of
building a balloon of sufheient dimensions
to carry two persons, with necessary pro
visions, across the Atlantic, has suddenly
changed her mind, and now refuses to ad
vance the "ready." As a result, some
other starting point will be selected, and
the aeronauts, with a proper appreciation
of the spirit of enterprise manifested by
the proprietor of New York's namesake,
the Herald, have made a formal applica
tion to that gentleman for a supply of the
"needful." Mr. Uennett ought to comply.
ITe has the means ; and the enterprise, if
successful, would add another leaf to the
Herald's chaplet of renown.

the comradeship of
Senator of the Uuited States. He had left
the wilds cf Butler only some six years be
fore, going he cared not where, to escape
the silken bonds of his marriage, which
had become galling fetters of iron. Then
his name was John Mitchell Hippie, but
the Senator, wheu the names are called,
will answer to the name of John II. Mitch
ell, of Oregon, is the Hippie of Butler
county. H will sit in the Chamber that
once echoed to the ringing pei iods of Web
ster ami Clay, courted, flattered, and
honored as a rising, perhaps a Christian,
statesman. AH that man could ask of
promise for the future will be his. His
lines have fallen in pleasant places.
- Surely, the mutations of life are beyond
our comprehension. Fiction presents, in
all its range, no greater contrast of fate or
fortune than that between Hippie, or
Mitchell, in the Senate of the United States, i
and the once cherised wife of his bosom, a ,
menial in a Franklin hotel. lie is tho
guest of earth's great ones ; the peer, as
the world goes, of men of historic fame ;
she is a toiling slave, "who dines from off
the plate she lately washed," with no hope
of a brighter dny this side of the grave.
Yet who can say that her lot, dark and
gloomy as it seems, is less happy than his ?
Who knows that there is not constantly
before him torturing visions of a deserted
woman and a little child ? phantoms that
will not down at his bidding ?

route, became famous, and it was in this
wise : He had two horses and a light
wagon, and was thirty miles on his way
from Cheyenne, wheu he heard a shot aud
felt a bullet enter his neck. He lay over
in his wagon, and his team commenced
running away, and more shots came and
peppered him and his wagon and horses
like a hot hail fctorm. But the team ran
faster and faster, and the band of Sioux,
mounted on horses fleet as the wind, fol
lowed like a cloud full of lightning. The
mail-carrier was thus chased nine miles,
and lys team ran into a camp of friendly
Cheyennes. The storm ceased ; the Sioux
were not strong enough for the camp, and
the Cheyennes protected the weather
beaten carrier. The wagon was as full of
holes as a sieve, and there were nine dis
tinct and separate bullets in Carter's limbs
and body. The wagon and horses were
covered with blood rained by the lire
storm. The Cheyennes dressed Carter's
wounds as well as they could, and took
him to Laramie, twenty miles distant,
where, the balls were extracted, all but
one, which could not be reached. Carter
is rapidly recovering, but has gone home
to his mother in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He

The Walworth Family. A gentle
man has given us some facts relative to his
personal acquaintance with tho Walworth
family, whose name has become the text
of much sermonizing of late. Mrs. Wal
worth was the daughter of Gen. Hardin,
of Illinois, whose widow was tho wife of
Chancellor Walworth, the father of the
murdered man. Six or seven years ago
Mrs. Walworth, living unhappily with her
husband, removed to Louisville, her friends
having purchased the old Zano estate,
worth 30,000. Here she lived with her
family, then consisting of two young
daughters aud Frank, a noble, affection- !
ate, manly boy of about fourteen years, j
Altout three years after her removal Lcre, !
Mansfield Tracy Walworth, her husband, '
came to Louisville, and a reconciliation j
was effected. Here they lived together on (
tho most affectionate terms for nearly j
three years, and hero another daughter !
was born, which died in infancy. Wal- !
worth becamo restive after a period, !
and finally persuaded his wife to sell hrr
home and go back to New York with him.
The estate was sold aud the proceeds placed
at his disposal. After the family removed to
New York, Walworth became unpleasant
in his demeanor, and finally treated his
wife iu such a brutal manner that her
friends came to her aid and procured a le
gal separation.

that not a single paper in that city except

adelphia. A dispatch from Jacksonville, Oregon,
says that Gen. Boss, of the Oregon volun
teer?, just arrived, denies that the massa
cre of Modoc prisoners was committed by
the Oregon volunteers, and says that they
had other and better chances for the mur
der of the prisoners, if they desired.
