There is q good old sphorism which runs
tbuswise :-"Hohor to whom honor 10 duu,"
which means in palmer terms. II anybody

the ''just need Of praise" "Hoaos 10 due"
to Bob Patton for the efficient manner and
the untiring industry with which be has al-
ways, during the two years he has acted as
Constable, performed the arduous labors Of
his Office. He has ever been prompt. ener.
getic and reliable, and with the exception Of
few weeks, during which he was confined
TO his bed by illness the past winter, has in.
variably been at his post and on duty.
Pat Mcguire has lately been acting % Mr.

A Horrible Calendar.

We are certainly singularly wicked peo-
pie and are every day becoming worse in
stead of better. A perusal of the San Fran
cisco Argus Of Wednesday has led US to this
conclusion, and we will proceed to show
why. Ten articles in that paper are sever
ally headed as follows: "Disreputable hous-
es." "attempt at assassination modern
editorial chivalry," (being the heading of
an account Of a dueD "The family of Adol-
phe Branda," (the suicide) Attempt to as
sassinate the reporter of the Union," MUIR
ders at Stockton" "The Smelling Ranch
Murder" shooting at Oroville." "Another
attempt at suicide" to say nothing Of sud-
den deaths, drownings burglares, etc. Oc-
currences which have happened and been
paraded to the public since the above ap-
peared in the .Argus, show that crimes are
increasing in frequency. and that the ca.
endar of horrible events is being daily and
hourly enlarged. Are murder and suicide
and assassination becoming contagious epi-
denies that they are thus matters of daily
occurrence The public mind is suffering
from horrible disease which we fear will
be eradicated but with the present genera
tion. This should be styled the age of chron
ic depravity.

Two gentlemen who desire to be repre-

life against John. and Justice Donaho ad-
judged that John should give bonds in the
sum of $3.50 to keep the peace for six
months. The bond was given.

paign Of '56 was gallantly fought and nobly
won. They clearly show that there IS yet
National Democratic sentiment--Nationa
Democrats-and National Democratic
party. The present phase of Kansas affairs
has only had the effect Of stripping the mask
from the front Of sectional demagogues,
whose hypocrisy had gained them place in
the ranks of the National Democracy. The
National Democratic sentiment sufficed to
roll back the wave Of sectional -fauaticism
that was to secure the acceptance of the
Topeka constitution. and is still planted
with sufficient reverence in the hearts of the
Democracy, to roll back the sectional fanat-
icism that would accept the Lecompton con-
stitution, although its advocates may be

Hampshire; Toombs, Of Georgia, instead of
