It bis re si dene on the Hudson,. on the litli, Inst., was not unexpected, but it ion« the less caused sorrow among Ihose who knew him best, and genuine leg ret among thinking men all over the land.

As far as McHenry County is cjn CerneJ, Mr. Courier, you never was more mistaken in your life. The Board of Supervisors of McHenry county are willing the newspapers should "work tor nothing and board themselves." ^There I* but otfe thing they pay with­ out kicking, and that is tbeir own per diem and' mileage. l&*The town of Spencer, county seat of Marathon, Wis., was 'aid in ashes Sunday by flames communicated ' from the burning forests in that and Clark coauties. The lots will be up­ wards of 1200.000. Colby, in the va- cinity of Spencer, was also scorched, and fears are entertained that the en- tire town will be destroyed. The fire is reported moving towards Eau Claire f and the citizens are In a state of In- - tense exnitemeut. V LEGISLATIVE. :;V^V [from the Capron Herald.] Matters political are soraewia' a" yet but occasionally a reliable bit of Information maybe obtained, and when it is the Herald is by no means slow to give lu readers the benefit. The main talk at p(%seut is iu regard o the legislature. Hon. Chas. E. Fullei of Belvldere, will again be presented to tiie senatorial convention at Wood stock, Aug. 30th, as the candidate o Boone county for the lower house, and he will be nominated. Mr. Fuller needs no introduction; he has been tried anJ n<^t found wanting, and no member of] the last legislature stood higher or was more prahed for his work than Me. It was due to his In­ fluence, in a great measure on several occasions, that a democrat was kept from succeeding John A. Logan in the U. S. Senate. The rebublican voters of the district can no better indorse his course than by sending him again to represent them at Springfield. Chas Partridge of Waukegan, formerly editor of the Gazette in that city, who will undoubtedly be the other nomi­ nee, Is perhaps as well qualified for the high office he seeks as any gentle­ man In the district; be has been at political leader in the district for some years, a reasoning, far-seeing consistent gentleman, who would do honor to the state and district he rep- leients It chosen. [From the Belvidere fforthiceaUrn.] Up to this time little or nothing lias been said concerning legislative no mi nations and we are pleased now to be able to announce that Hon. Chas. E. Puller of this city will be a candidate before the Senatorial convention at Woodstock on the 30th Inst-, for the nomination tor representative. We do uot suppose that Mr, Fuller will have auy opposition; be should not. During the years that he has repre­ sented this district in the two bouses of the Assembly, he has shown ar ability In legislative matters and an acuteness in engineering party meas­ ures tuat is seldom equalled. Add to this his experience and be is doubly fit:et' for the position to which he aspires--in fact, the Republicans of this district cannot place tueir hands upon a better or even as good man to represent ibem. But aside trom other considerations the record of Mr. Fuller iu the last session of the Legislature should stand to him as a guarantee that he will be ehoBen to represent us in the next. To lilni alone--to his untiriring efforts, his fidelity to the party and his unyield­ ing determination--is the Republican party of llliuois indebted for their success in the Senatorial fight, and for that service he deserves every favor at the baud of bis constituents. We be lieve that the Republicans of this district know their duty and will do without prompting and without flinching, anil will nominate Mr. Fuller as one of their representatives. Newspapers vs. issrehliU. A fiew nights ago the anarchists, not I lnj*il, held a meeting in a hall In Chicago, and roundly denounced the | dally press of that city forgiving pub­ licity to the evidence brought out at Uie trial of their leaders for the hay I market murders, ft Is natural to sup-1 pose that these op posers to law and order would take Just this view of any thing that tended to meet punishment on the worthless oarcases of their leaders. But what is surprisiug to ill* verge of warranting unbelief is that 1 the dailys should come out in long leaded editorials, Justifying their position, and virtually apologizing to these cracked braloed followers ot out­ laws. If any sane American thought the evidence of the prosecution ought to bo suppressed, and nothing heard but the whining excuses of these fiends lb nalllatlon of their* oflenoe, then the iaily press might have some reason tor explaining why its reports are black Instead of whit«. We doubt if aslmi- Itr position was ever taken before, ifiven when a law abiding citlsen has! been found to have been unjustly ac­ cused, Is It rare for a paper to Justify Itself for publishing court proceedings. It is possible that anarchism Is much widespread than was at fint supposed or does the glare of a half a dozen pair of eyes at bay, have a peculiar effect ? Tills position of the Chicago dailies cannot but give raise to a good deal of conjecture.--Rockford Journal. ^The Globe Democrat say: uThls nation is not particularly anxious to ! go 11 war with Mexico, or any other country, just now. Nevertheless it Is | a duty we owe to the Mexicans, as neighbors, to tell tbem that Texas | desires another little "revel In the halls of the Montezumas," and Texa» could make Mexico a tolerable orderly and Christian commonwealth so quick­ ly that the remainder of the United States would not know that there had been any unpleasantness at all." THE DEMOCRATIC ANNC IL DRILL. The democratic party of McHenry county and the fifth Congressional District will make Its usual nomina tions this summer, as we learn by the calls for their different Conventions. This is a practice which the party keeps up year by year, prooably because of the discipline It gives the party. It is an excellent thing to ketp the rank and file In practice. Of what other advantage all these com­ mittee meetings, conventions, nomi­ nations, casting ot ballots, and-de­ feats are to the party, we can scarcely comprehend. In Germany eyery year the armies are marshaled together and go through gigantic evolutions, finally ending in a gre t conflict of arms, in which no one is hurt except by accl dent. This is the annual drill which keeps the great German arsy in trim for war, foreign or civil. Once every season the democratic psrty .of McHenry county goes through the same kind of maneuvers for the same purpose. This drill Is au amusing •Ight, but It must be tiresome in such a solid Republican County as McHenry It would save a good deal of money to lay ofl a few year*. We suggest this to the democratic party of the county, without any hope that the suggestion will be taken.

OLD SETTLERS' MEXSTIN&I ^ . - i.; v.': fVThe condition of things between the United States and Mexico is not growing any better. It was hoped few days ago that the government would be able to make satisfactory set tlement of the Cutting matter, but down to the present time nothing has been accomplished, and as aconseqence a very bitter feeling has been growing stronger and stronger along the Mexi­ can border. Throughout Texas the young men are being enrolled with the determination to cross the Mexl- aan border the first opportunity. The Military throughout the state are kept busy night and day, and It will be very difficult for them to prevent an armed force from going iDio Mexico if the Cutting aflatr is not setled at once* Texas people blame the general gov­ ernment for its lack of appreciation of tlie situation and declalr that they will settle the Mexicans if the United States does not act promptly. in the meantime on the Mexican side is a bloater and movement of troops which would indicate their contempt for the United States, ail of which does not help matters at this critical time. The American cowboy along the border la panting to croes the line and clean out the greaser*. The next few days will decide the Mexican situation, and we will know whether our government will enforce Its demands of Mexico, or ftftetljr submit to the insults offered. TBK C1TIZKN AND THIS PRKML As a general thing, the Aurora Blade finds newspapers are appreciated, and the people are grateful for the good they accomplish. The average citizen takes the local papers, and although be may rot always find time to read the n, still he considers it ~a duty to support the press. He Is aware that the prosperity of a town Is largely due to Its local papers. The opinion formed of a place U greatly influenced by tbU which is published regarding it. Strangers read these papers, as well as t tose at borne, and the out- sider sees from the local, journal that, for Instance, Aurora Is alive town; that its citizens are enterprising, and are anxious to foster industries; that they invite capital and those who wish to make a home in a thriving town to move here. You all know what the effect would be If the papers only saw the disad­ vantages of their town, and filled their columns with matters that were not cooipiimentarv to It. If they warned strangers against coming to the place, and iuu it down at every opportunity You will admit this would be destruc­ tive and injurous in every way. It naturally follows that if the local papers is capable of doing so much harm. It also has the power to do good in any equal degree. There is one thing which has been on our mind for a good while, and we feel like saying a word a^out it. We want to tell these old chesnuts, who sit about and whine against their Hct papers and declare them a nuisance. that In trie majority of cases they are irregular old hogs--we beg the pardon | Sandwich, Fruits, Nuts, of the regular bog for this Insult. We know old sardines in this fair city of Aurora who own property, who collect targe rents, and who are daily made richer by the enterprise ot those about them, and make a practice of whining I over the improvements made by their wide-awake neighbors, and the plans suggested and boomed by the press And still, while these old sooozers are kicking and grumbling ani groan­ ing, they are being made richer every day of their lives, In spite of them­ selves. If these same old grumblers. who Imagine they are tbe embodi­ ment of sagacity and shrewdness, could be budded together anjl put away by themselves, where they woulJ have no opportunity to realize on the liberality and enterprise of those who have their shoulder to the wheel that is propelling the public craft in its prosperous voyage, these same old galoots would starve within the next ninety days.--Hampshire Rtgieter.
