How they take the Census in Kansas.

/ x1OW LACy tdho tk16 SCtlnua III Adubdb
The following extract from a late letter from
Kansas, shows how the officials appointed by the
Border-ruffian Legislature do up the census bus
mess:
The bogus census takers are at work. They
have received instructions from the bogus county
courts which differ materially from even the bo-
| gus directions, and they were bad enough to all
conscience The truth is that every bogus Off
cial is law unto himself, and legislation to de-
fine their duties is work of supererogation
| There is not bogns constable but occasionally
assumes the functions of Justice There is
not sheriff but labors under the delusion that
he is Judge. and the bogus county courts have
as exalted an opinion as to their omniscient and
| Legitimate mission on earth as if they were de-
scendants Sof the red fruit of Lake Pukkouri.
| This same census will be very great humbug;
but bogus humbngs sometimes serious. Only
4 small part of the Free-State men are placed on
the list. They take no one-that is, no Free
State man-who was not al actual settler on the
10Th inst. They ignore the recent arrivals-in
fact, all the arrivals of this Spring, and do not
take one half of the others. The Free-State men
allow them to do as they please, only some of
them wish them at Jericho, and some few do not
scruple to say
l learn that johnson County" will have he
largest population of any county in the Territory
hundred legal voters, even by that fraudule mt
act, and which is not open lawfully to white set
tlement yet-perhaps will not be for some time
This constitutional census and election move
me mt of the Oligarchy is going to be by far tn
grandest and most syotematic voting swlndi
that was ever heard of. The system is already
developing beautifully.
Mr. Wimer---the New Mayor of st. Louis
The Chicago Tribune gives the following
sketch of Mr. Winner, who has Just been chosen
Mayor of St. Louis by very handsome major
ity:
Mr.. Winner the successful candidate, is wor-
thy of the honor bestowed upon him as the cho-
ser leader of the Free State forces. He commenc-
ed as a blacksmith in ST. Louis when ST. Louis
was little more than a French village By stsa-
dy depstion to his business and by his practical
good sense in all the affairs of life, he soon
quired a competency and the honest respect of
his townsmen. At first magistrate, then pest
master, then Mayor-in every station he has
been an able, far seeing, upright man. A vir-
ginian by birth, he took with him to his new
home in the West the principles Of Washington,
Jefferson and Madison, and to these amid all the
changes and transmutations of parties, he has
steadily adhered and these are the foundation
of his recent and memorable victory. There
was a fitness in making him the candidate of
the White Mans party, that cannot be overlook
ed. He is himself laborer. He has always
been the pride of the laboring man and when
ever his name has been mentioned in connect
ion with any public station, they have rallied al
most to q man, to his support. In him they
have recognized Democrat-what sort of a
