Gen. Denver. R..ign.tien.

Under this caption the Leavenworth Kansas
Herald, of the I'd Oct, has the article below
we do not perceive the force of the fernark Of
the editor, that Gen. Denver was /" preceded BIZ
cffcers who, no doubt; possessed more talent !
than ne, and we're better "gifted with the ouali-
hcations of statesmen" That they had greater
experience weadmit. But that very fact, cou-
pled with theft failure in the very field in which
Denver GO sig6tlly succeeded, is the best possi-
PIE proof that they we're not +" better gifted with
she qualiicateps Of statesmen" NOT endowed

d statesmen had failed, is evidence Of lack uI
5alent and craftsmanship:
T. Gov. Denver's administration has certainly
Decn a remarkable one. Preceded by officers
who, no doubt, possessed more talent, greater
experience, and better gifted with the qualifica-
tions of Statesmen, his administration looms up
high above theirs; conspicuous alone for intep-
rity, impartiality, quiet energy and success
Called to fill tie important position of Secretary
and Acting Governor, In the first place, when q
statesman of acknowledged talent and tried abil-
ity shrunk from the post of responsibility, he
accepted the charge and began his official labor:
with the ability and confidence of master
hand Afterwards nominally elevated to the
oihce OF Governor, he then directed all his ener.
gies to the important work before him-witt
what success the present condition of Kansa:
speaks loud in terms of praise
Gov. Denver might have profited hy the ex-
perlence of his predecessors. 1t was an expert
ence from which an officer in his position might
learn much; and the key to their disgracefu
failures was easily gained, but we do moi
attribute his present success to this fact.
His success was not the result of skillful ri.
loting among the shoals and quicksands of pol.
iticsi neither was it the fortunate issue of {
game of double policy, played for power and
personal aggrandizement, nor was that success:
crowned by the efforts of party adherents or po
litical combinations.
The secret of his success lay in the man him
self He appeared upon the stage when officia
integrity, political honesty, and impartial ant
just administration were in demand, in order t,
secure US our present position. He possesse,
these qualifications, and under the auspices o
his guidance we have now arrived at position
of which he and ourselves may well be proud

nSy The klamath Lake country living east of

B6T The Klamath Lake country lying east of
the Cascades, is one of the best watered districts
in Oregon, dotted over with lakes surrounded
with rich valleys, through which beautiful
streams pass from one lake to the other, afford
ing all the facilities for irrigation. Fish, fowl,
and all the wild game known to the Pacific
coast, are more abundant than in any other por-
ton of Oregon. This district of country con-
tans vast numbers of Indians, many of them
living almost entirely on the waters in many
instances they have constructed, from the tules
or bull rush, huts and wigwams that float like
arks upon the surface of the lakes.
Up to the present period, no treaty has been
made with the Indians, and no settlements at
temped to be made.-JdcksonuilIe (O.) Sentinel

that could be manufactured for the occasion.

Undoubtedly there is a growing conviction
on the part of the people that the American
interest and American labor should receive
more of the fostering care of the federal
government than has been bestowed on them
of late years; that the ballot-box must be
purified, and its purity prrserved; that more
intense national feeling should be cultivated,
and that the immigration of foreign paupers
and criminals, who are almost instantly trans
formed into voters. and by whom our cleo
tons are often decided, should be prohibited.
But for these and other salutary reforms we
must rely wholly upon the people themselves
though our candidate for the presidency in
1860 should be man whose whole public
career affords guarantee that, in bringing
about these reforms his cooperation would be
most cheerfnlly given.
