Delta has the following
"A FEDERAL AProlNTNKNr.-Wo under
stood last evening, that dispatch had
been received here from Washington, an-
nouncing the appointment OF one OF the
editorial fraternity of this city as Governor
of Kansas, The appointment we learn,
was not made by tie President as re-
ward for political services, but solely on
tbc ground of the purity Of character, and
chiyalrous antecedcnts Of the appointee.
Governor Reeder, it is well known, showed
the white feather in abandoning the terri
tory, at the approach of danger, and it be-
came necessary that one of the true grit
should take his place, and hence the pref
ercncc"
Who that "onceof the editorial frater-
nifty" can be, we do not know. We hope
to learn something more by the mail This
is matter of much Importance.
