The sooner our legislators look into the trinl-by-jury laws the sootier will they begin to be executed by the will of men qualified to judge intelligently of the gel It or huiecune« 0tmyutt>4 criiuUpita* tiSr The following from t1.e pen of F. O. White, the a'»'e Aurora corres­ pondent of tiM**Cnieago Inter Ocean,, portrays the situation in this Cotigres- siunal District: The Bepublican convention for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress to represent tlio Fifth Illinois District, wi.l be Held at Elgin, April 10th. Present indications are that the Hon. R*-ubeu Ellwoixl. of IVKalb County, who is now serving his lirst term, will be renominated with but iittle opposi­ tion, and a nomination is equivalent to an election. In 1S82 the tetul vote of the district was 18,405. Of this number Ell wood received 12,994, a plurality of 7,S67, or 70.60 per cent of (lie entire vote of Die district. His majority was larger than that of any member from this State of either party. Mr. Eilwood is serving on two com­ mittees, viz.: "claims" and "manufac­ tures," and lie 19 an energetic and industrious official, lie is a thoroughly practical and eminently successful busi­ ness man. „ . The interests beth of the district and the party require that lie should he returned in preference to any new man, and for this reason his support ought to be manly and geueral. It seems, however, that a different condition of things is beings planned and that an effort will be made by a certain class of politicians to carry Kane and McHenry counties by th* free use of money for a well-known political wire puMer, the Hon S. S. Mann, of Elgin. It would seem rather odd to have a campaign and not have S. 3. Mann for a candidate, and at the same time help to bury him after the camp.-ilgu was over. Years ago lie was a member ot the General Assoinblv and sinceYhat lie has never been known to refuse an office. He was one of the schemers in £he disgraceful "Lord convention."' and be­ cause of th»» record lie made there Major May bourne beat him out of t lie nomination for State Sen'afor in 1876. He ran against J. O. Sherwin f«r the nomination to Congress in 1880, but after opening It Is ••barrel" in Black­ berry. St. diaries and Butavia, where lie got cleaned out in each cauciM, lie concluded uot to go into tlie conven­ tion. He was a candidate for Congress again in 1SS2, and came near beating A. J. Hopkins, but he promised to sup­ port both Stewart and Ha'vlev for the one position of Kepreseutatve to the Legislature, and Hopkins round it out. The information was carried where it "would do the most good," and the re­ sult was thai Stewart and Hawley deserted Mann atid gave Kane County to Hopkins. It will be a cold day when S. S. Mann goes to Congress from this district. We do think, however, that he would be a good man to put on the State Board of Equalization. By the second year Kane County would have no taxes to pay. Yes, the old sea-weed Mann, has had his henchmen in this County, but they found no encouragement that we can learn of. The Kepublican voters of McHenry county are. satisfied with the course of Hen. Reuben Eilwood, and will be toiid for his re-nominatiou. £5?"It la clearly evident that the old Democratic ship Is at sea, without a pilot and destined to be dashed to pieces among the breakers. There is a big mutiny aboard and officers and men are ready to go at each others throats. There it no order or discip* line, and in view of the inevitable founding of the old craft all aboard are looking only to self preservation. Coming with powrer in the House on the tidal wave of diesati6factiou that swept over the eouutry in 1882, it wa6 thought there would certainly be brought to the fore a few who could ap* predate the situation and by wise management assume control and right up the old craft and make her popular once more with the people, but sad to relate, among the hur.dreds boosted into uutbough of prominence, not one hat been fbund able to succeesfully master the situation, and to-day the olJ hulk is totted about as ihe never wat before, The utter Imbecility evidenced by the present Democratic House has con­ vinced the country that it is useless to attempt reanimate the effete old party and place the control of the govern­ ment in its hands as it has not left in it enough ability to manage a first-class congressionil eliow let alone the affairs of the greatest nation on earth. The disintegration new taking place assure# an easy victory for the Republicans in November next, aiid the few Demo­ crats who have the ordinary prescience of a March hare, admits this facti' "Keep Close to the l'eople." Ex-Governor Richard J. Oglesby, in a recent conversation witii a journalist, gave the following account of his early recollections of Abraham Lincoln in his own State: '"Lincoln was long and ungraceful in his usual movement*, but in the mid.s| of debate and when earnestly engaged there was a glow on his face, a sublime air in his manner, and a lofty tone" which not only elevated the argument but lifted up and encouraged every one who listened to hint. While I cannot say lie was partial to anyone in his in­ tercourse with men. he was uiiiformiiy courteous, mild, and polite toward all. He aid not seem to seek favor by pcr- sonal electioneering, but lie never turn­ ed coldly or formally from any man. All whom he knew lie addressed by their given name, and those to whom he was introduced he met equally kind­ ly. As I grew into manhood and ob­ served ills methods. I seon learned, as everybody elso did, to look upon liini as a great and thoughtful man. capable of great actions and true devotion to any cause lie 'might espouse. I instinct­ ively followed him through tiie dying days of Wlnggery and into Republican­ ism, and was often encouraged hv him to go manfully lorward in the «truggle of life. Once in the course ef conver­ sation. I do not remember where, I dis­ tinctly recall his saying: "Dick, remem­ ber to keep close to the people; they are alwayfe right, will never mislead any one!" From the Morris Herald, Feb. IV Appellate Court Ulerk, It looks a good deal as though'the re would uot be n contest for the office of clerk of eourt for the Second Appellate, District, but that the honor of a re- nomination and election would be con- cedei! to Mr. J as. It. Combs, of Griindy county, the present Incumbent. The business of this court is principally transacted by the lawyers of the dis­ trict, and without exception, so far as wo have heard, that class of professional gentlemen are for him. Mr. Combs has to conducted the business of the office as to make friends of all who have had business dealings with him. He hatto systematized the work that much delay and expense is saved to litigants. Six years ago. when at Springfield, appeal­ ing to delegates to "give our man a chance," we made promises which the acts of our candidate' have verified by his faithfulness and business integrity, and now. at the close of his term, we again appeal to' the people for lilt re­ tention for the good he has done. No man in the State is better fitted for the position, No man is more deserving. Sacrificing ari arm in his country's ser­ vice, for the past year hit life has been in peril in consequence of other Inju­ ries received while in the line of duty at the front during the dayt of the re­ bellion. Although improved in health, Mr. Combs is not now, and probably ne^er will be a well man, able to do other than clerical work, as lie it now- 'doing. But why present argumenti. The people are for "Jim" Combt for clerk of tho appellate court. m. JOSili BULL'S Smi'slGiiicSyil FOR THE CURE OF ar.d AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, > AND ALL MALARIAL 0ISEASES. The proprietor of this cclehrated medl- "einc justly olaims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER­ MANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long stand­ ing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to oure if the direc­ tions are strictly followed and carried out. • In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole fami­ lies have beencuredby a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if itB use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been cheeked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usu­ ally this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good ordsr. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having takon three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suf­ ficient.
