MrLwAUKEE, May 25.—The week opened with 2 solemn dirge for poor Binckley,whose body had been washed ashore after two weeks of solitary foating upon the cold waters of Lake Michigan, and removed to the Morgue. The clements were more kindly and sympathetic than his old acquaintances, and the rain poured down in torrents. A few friends gathered at Plymouth Church on Sunday afterncon, and a cold, heart- less, and entirely formal service was held over the suicide’s remains before they were removed to their final repose in the cemetery, where there is peace and rest for all. Itisa pity that relizion utterly fails to meet the solemn exigen- cles of this mortal life, or else it is 2 ity that human beings are so often unable to conform to its requirements, and to avail themselves of its benefits and consolations. In the same church on Sunday evening the pastor preached upon suicide from a strictly ‘orthodox but wholly un- philosophical standpoint. It will take the Church at least 100 years to get the medieval mist off its spectacles so that it cau Jook at sul- cide in any other light except that repeated by he musty old Mosaic phonograph which sass «Thou ehalt mot kill” In tho meantime, suicides have increased 1o the United States at the rate of more than 30 percent. So I turn from the common-place Tezsoniug of the Rev. Mr. Rose to the more terse and congenial lan- guage of Hamlet: To be, or not to be; that is the question: Whether "tis nobler in the mind to sufier *The slings and arrows of outrazzeous fortune; O 10 take arms against a sca of troubles, And by opposing end them?

EX-GOV. LUDINGTON. ‘Ex-Gov. Ludincton was interrogated the other day by & familiar spirit, in substance as foilows, to wit: (Let me say here in parenthesis that the Gov- ernor’s name is on the list of avslable and prob- oble candidates for the United States Senate, and therefore his views are of consequence to the pablic.) “ Governor, have you scen the article in last Sunday’s News on the election of United States Senator?” “Yes; I have read it.” “What do you think about it?"” I think, i the first place, that it fs a very. remarkable article to appear in a Democratic newspaper, and, in the next place. I think it is quite likely that Mr. Carpenter will be a candi- date for the United States Scnate.” “But do you think that there is even are- mote probability of Mati becoming a compro- mise candidate of all parties for the Senaie?” “Are you interviewing me?” (with s merry twickle, sub rosa, in bis jolly oldeves.) w am only asking you guestions.” cll, I don’t want to” sav what T think, ex- cept that neither Howe nor Carpenter has a ghost of a chance. Nobody can tell what will Tapnea. Above all, 3s 2 party man and a Re- publican, I am utterly opposed to making the election of Senator an issuc next fall in electing members of the Legislature. If any man en- ters the field. as the News indicates, to tix the Ascembly and Senate districts for himself for Senasor, it will makeadevil of a fuss. Sup- pose, for cxumple, that it is known that — (naming a local candidate) should be an- nounced 5s 4 candidate for the Scnate next fall. There _would not be a Republican member eleczed from Milwaukee County.

You have ecen the formidable list already printed in the news- Dapers.” Do you think Keyes will be a candidate?” “Yes, sud a very lively ove. t0o.” «If Carpenter i5 2 candidate, on whom wilf he depend for supoort ¢ - Oly, the Vews ficures it out that he is to be a sort of compromise candidate—the favorite dark horse of all parties—that is to win the Yased ““Then ke is not expecting to be the Republi- can crucus candidate “ Nut if ‘the Vewshas made a correct dingmo- sis of the case.

In my opinion, the Legislature cannot he pack- ed by anybody, and the man who undertakes it will come out at the little cndof thehorn. The machne is in disrcpute.” At this point in the conversation our paths divergred, and 1 met THE HON. S. W. SMALL, Judge of the Circuit Court. but quite as much of a politician as Judee; and so I walked up to Nim in tne shape of an interrogation point, thus: i “Judge, what do you think of the Potter in- vestization just started in Congress?” “‘1think it is just the thing to do, and Tam glhditistogoon. If there were any fraudu- )::_l}l transactions in the clections of those Btates, Louislana and Florida, let us know it.” * We do know already that there were frauds cnommmad all around, aud by both parties. an oslong as this fnvestiration cannot reach . lllms, 1do not see why it was beeun.” bo tmay reach Mr. Haves, and then he will beimpeached, ifheis fonud wuilty.

D. W. MAXON, of Washinzton County, an old Democratic wheel-horse, and & standing canaidate for Con- gress tn this district. £ «\What do you think of the Potter Investiga- tion business?” I mildly shouted into the wiil- foer car of this human phonoaraph. “] thinkit is bad policy. It creates uneasi- ness and distrust in the miuds of the people. As Grant said, *Let us bave peace.” The coun- try needs rest and quiet. Hajes is President, and no earthly power can remove him by con- stitutional mesns. e not only got a majority of the votes in the Electoral College, but he was confirmed in his office Ly tho act of the Forty-fourth Congross in passing the Electoral Commission act, to which the Democratic party in Conzress assented.” K Your bead sccms to be level on that point. But what ails your party, Mr. Maxon#" w1y is suffering badly just now for want of able and eflicient leaders.” I don't follow the lead of such small statesmen as Samn Randall and Sam Cox. Look how 1t was in Wisconsin Jast fall. We had a fair prospect of carrying the State until the Fond du Lac Convention met and eave us all awny. A more complete abandonment of all our principles, traditions, and usages was never beard of. And this in- vestization of Potter’s will end, like the Iris manw’s effort to shear the hog—there will be more noise than wool.” “I'nere is one sound Democrat, I sald to my- self, as I passed on. THE TBON. H. L. PALMER. Entering the office of the Northwestern Mu- tual Life-Insurance Compauy, I thought to get the views of its clear-headed President, the tlon. H. L. Palmer, upon the sll-ubsorbing question of the- Democratic investigation. - Mr. Palmer was the Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor of Wisconsin in 1863, and bas definite and consistent notions upon public affairs when he sces fit to express them. But just now his whole time is absorbed with his duties as Presi- dent of one of the most popular life-insurance companics in the country, and he thinks and talks of little clse. I speared the question at pim sumething like this: “ What do you thiuk of the Potter investiga- tion?” X «1 have not had time to think much about it” Do you think it'ls a good thing for the Democrats to do?”? “ I do not know what frands they expect to unearth by it. It is the prevailing opinion that the Republicans carried Louisiana and Florida by fraud.” “Apd that the Democrats did the same thing in Mississippi and Atabama. But do you think it will affect the title of Mr. Hayes to his office? 1 am of the opinion that it canuot in any way reachthe President.” “You think that there has been stealing done, and that Hayes, being in possession of the stolcn goods, is sate from arrest and prose- cution?”? % No, 1 do not mean quite that.- I mean that the frauds committed in the interest of Iayes Trave been condoned by the act of the Electoral Commission.”? Possibly, but probably not. But it is not likely that the title of Mr. Haves to the office will be assailed. I do uot think our folk mean that, unless the frauds can be traced directly to the President.” At this point there was a brief interruption. When order was again restored, { asked. ~Will Mr. Lynde be renominated for Con- gress from this district " “1 do mot know. Mr. Lynde stands well in Washington. 1 presume he 1 bea candi- date again for renomination.” Here the converzation ended on that subject, but. enouwh has becn learned of the sentiment of the more conservative clement of the Demo- cratic party to warrant the conclusion that the Potter businessis notpopular with them. A good many men who voted for Tilden would not -do 50 again, and some are glad he 1s not President to-day. 1t is more than likely that Gov. Smith's view of the situation is the correct one, to-wit, that this investigation will create & closer union _amongz the different fac- tions of the Republican party, and “that the capital which the Potter resolutions were intended to make for the benefit of the Demo- crats in the _clection of Congressmen nexi {all will redouni to the credit of their political op- ponents. : PERSONAL. ‘The personal friends m this city of M nie Rearn, the sculptress, have received invite- tious -to her murriaze to Lieut. Hoxle, of the United States Army, which event takes place on the 28th iost. in Washington. Miss Ream was born in Madison, and muny Wisconsin people cherish a just pride in the distinction to which she has attained in the #eld of art by her talents and industry. Their ood wishes for her happiness on this oceasion will be freely and generously accorded. Mir. A. J. Aiken, one of the proprietors of the Evening Wisconsin, now in Paris, writes a Jone letter home to that paper regarding the opening of the great International Exhibition. 1f Mr. Aiken states the case truly, a3 he no doubt does, 1ie great show will be auything but isfactory to those Americans ~ who i Paris this summer at such an expenditure of time and monev. He describes opening-day as * confusion worse confound- ed,” and puts o decidedly bad face o things generally. He thinks tue French people are tne areatest Hars inthe world, which impression most likely comes from Mr. Aiken’s imperfect knowledge of their language. He says that, littleas Le knows of their language, he was made to comprehend the fact that ail hotels, boarding-houses, aud.restaurants doubled their prices the day the kxyusition opened. Dr. Solon Marks, who bas been absent from the ety for a mouth on account of his health, lias returned home and resumed his practice. 1 am sorry to say that his bealth is not fuily restored. : Two young_lawyers, sons of the Hon. C. A. Eldridge, of Fond du Lac, formerly Member of Congress, are preparing to brivg a suit for libel against the Sentind Printing Company. The alleged libel consists in the Senfine's publish- ing u charge that the young men nad been in the Penitentiary. Itis now currently rumored that the School Board will appoint”ex-Supt. MacAlister to be Principal of the Hizh School in piace of Prof, Hardy. The gentlemen composing the Board see now that tney bave made a grand mistake, and would like fo correct the error, if they could, no matter if it works a rank injustice to another worthy gentleman. Ivis given outein Waehington that Senator Conkling is to come to Milwaukee and deliver a volitical address. What does 1t mean? Isit for the purpose of o]}cnim{ thie Senatorial cam- paimn for Howe? It so, Howe cvidently in- tends to make the fssue with the Haves ad- ministration the issue upon which his election to the Seunte shall hinge this fall. In that case Matt Carpenter will come home (accent on home) znd go for Howe's sealp. Howe is infatuated with the idea of his own popularity In 1866 he was selected by the Lemislature with- out the formality of u caucus of his party friends. and the Jast time he was chosen it was without opposition in his own party. But things are not as thev were in '66, when Doolittle had rone into the camp of Andrew Jolmson and reconstruction was still the ove snadowing problem of the times. Howe will find & challenger now at every crossroad in . Wisconsin, and he will need Conkliog ana Blaine both to help him out. As both of these gentlemen are disengaged this 1all, it is probably the agrcement between the three{Implacables toforce the fighting in Wisconsin 3s an experiment to sec how opposi- tion to Mr. Hayes will take with the people.

Green [fruits were in larger supply, and domestic varietics were easler under a moderate local inquiry. Ponltry was dull and weal. : Lalo freights were active and unchanged, on the basts of 13c for corn by sall to Buffalo.
