We regret to see by the last Carroll County
Free Prees. that few Of the ardent friends Of
Gen. EckLEY have announced him as an inde-
pen lent candidate for Congress in the 2lst
District. This we are confident is doing g-eat
Injustice to Gen E. whose laboTs in the cause
of Republcanism have secured him an enviable
reputation throughout the State and we have
the assurance from those most intimately ac-
quainted with his present views and feelings
that he will at once jisavow al sympathy with
the independent movement, and that he will
support the nominee Of the Republican party
with all the zeal aud efficiency which have
hitherto characterized his efforts in behalf Of
Republican men and measures. Gen. EcELEY
Is too good man to give couutenance to any
arrangement by which the common enemy will
be alvantlged, and too sound Republican to
refuse submission 10 the will OF the majority OF
his party, as expressed in the denomination Of
JoHx a. BIxGH,H by a popular vote of more
than four TO one over all com 5etit1rs.

faithful and efficient service during the War ol
1912. Mr.. ATKINS was among the iirst no
neers into the Lake wilderness, and was among
the most active in subjuing it and its savage

Col Benton on THE LITTLE GIAST.-Col-
Benton, in conversing with a friend many
months since, gave the following summary view
ofthe prospects Of Mr.. Douglas:
"a The Little Giant" said he, Is in too
great hurry to be a great man. He forgets
that giants don't wear sevenleaguc boots,
nowadays, and that the first Office in an
elective government cInnOt lie taken by storm.
His ambition Is much beyond his ability,
for although a fluent speaker, his ideas
don't bear the proper proportion to his wcrds,
and though he runs fast he carries little weight.
he thinks he can bestride this continent with
Que foot on the shores OF the Atlantic, the 9TH
er on the Pacific. But he csn't do it-he can |
10 it, sir. His legs are too short "

REEDER, SHANNON, GEARY, WALKER
STANTON AND DENVER. st. Louis
Democrat, in speaking of the notable
men who have been slaughtered in
vain, to make Kansas 4 Slave State
matter:
Is it not strange that tile action OF
every governor which Kansas has had
should be attributed by the federal
government to every cause but the
one great cause from which it has en-
anated. All Of them went out TO the
Territory the champions Of the slavery
party ; all of them have returned from,
the Territory, the advocates and
friends Of the Free State party. The
reason of the change is obvious. They
found numbers, law and right on the
side of the Free State party, and VIC,
lencc, fraud and wrong, and small
minority, on the side Of the slavery
party, and having taken solemn oaths
to do their duty, and not being utter,
ly depravcd, they were compelled to
restrain in some degree, the riotous
and ruilian schemes Of the minority.
This modified exercise of the images
terlal authority was resented by the
slavery men as party crime, and
mutual alienation, and at last, down
right hostility ensucd. The uniform
action of the slave Government is at
tributed by the federal government to
any cause but this evident one, and
men who were pronounced wise and
good when appointed, are pronounced
a few months later, when they resign,
villains and traitors.

American Tract Society.

The best friends of the American
Tract Society are not without some
fears for the future of that society.
The last act of the committee, i'll re-
fusing to follow the direction of the
society and still holding their places,
has created quite a deep and resolved
feeling that will not be allowed to
sleep. 1t is not found among men
who are usually called radical, for
that was to be expected. But it is
among those who are regarded as con-
scrvativc men. And these take the
ground that the committee are the
mere creatures and agents of the So
cicty-that the committee din press
a work on the moral duties of masters
towards the slayc-that most of that
book was written by Southern inch
that TIE society after full and pro
tractcd discussion, and the considcra-
ton of the subject for one year, com
mandcd the committee to send out the
work that was in the press. The
ground taken is that the committee
had but one course to pursue, and
that was to obey the commands of the
society. And the general impression
is that at the annual meeting there
will be an entire revolution in the
management of this mammoth CON
Germ. The Independent is bold and
decided in its condemnation Of the
committee, and calls upon all the
Northern churches to refrain from
making any contributions to the Tract
Society this year, or to make the con-
tributions in the shape of Life Mem
bership, 50 that the funds shall have a
specific appropriation.

The Mormon Tactics.

The latest news from the Utah OK
petition records, among other things,
the capture of Mormon Major, named
John Taylor, upon the person of whom
was found a letter to him from Daniel
Wells, Lieutenant General of the
Mormons, in which the latter directs
him, under date of October 4th, to pro-
coed with all possible dispatch to the
Oregon road, near Bear river, taking
close and correct observation of the
country on his route:
"When you approach the road"
he says, "send scouts ahead to as
certain if the invading troops have
passed that way. If they have passed
take the concealed route, and get
ahead of them, express to Col. Benton,
who is now on that route, and in the
vicinity of the troops, and effect a
junction with him so as to operate in
concert. On ascertaining the locality
or route of the troops, proceed at once
to annoy them in every possible way.
Use every exertion to stampede their
animals, and set fire to their trains :;
burn the whole country before them
and on their flank 4; keep them from
sleeping, by night surprises; block
ade the road, by telling the trees, or
destroying the river fords where you
can; watch for every opportunity to
set fire to the grass on their wind
ward, SO as to, if possible, envelope
their trains; leave no grass before
them that can be burned keep your
men concealed, as much as possible,
and guard against surprise keep
scouts out at all times and communica-
ton open with Col. Benton, Major Nc
Allister and o. r. Rockwell, who are
operating in the same way keep me
advised daily of your movements on
every step the troops take, and in
what direction. God bless you and
give you success. Your brother in
Christ"

A JUDGE IN TROUBLE. The kcokuk
papers contain petition, numerously
signed, to procure the impeachment of
Judge Claggett, of Iowa. The follow
ing are the charges against the Judge !:
"The undersigned, members of Lee
county, respectfully represent that
Thomas w. Claggett, Esq, Judge of
the Fist Judicial District, has, during
the six months last past, whilst hold
ing courts in said district, been guilty
Of oppression and misconduct in office :;
in refusing to carry out the provisions
of law; in refusing to hear persons in
their own defence whom he fined for
contempt; in imposing oppressive and
extortionate bail in criminal cases,
and in using his power as Judge in
such manner as to prevent persons
accused OF offences from having fair
legal and impartial trial as granted to
them by law by refusing to hear
counsel on behalf of the accused; by
refusing to hear or be governed by
precedents by threatening to impris-
on persons if they did not, in dis
charge of their duties, implicitly obey
his instructions besides other acts of
misconduct in Office which renders it
improper for him to further discharge
the duties of said Office"

The Boston Free Library.

The city of Boston has proudly
earned her cognomcn OF " the Athens
of America" Her system OF free
schools has long been her boast and
pride but her leading citizens felt
that something more was wanting to
perfect the system, namely, free
public library, and they have finally
succeeded in establishing one upon
large and noble basis. An expensive
building was erected the past season
on Boyl"'on street, fronting the Com
mon. ~''.. as dedicated TO the pur-
..-.. a. i.v library, on New Years
day, with great pomp and ceremony.
The library already contains 10000
volumes and it is free to all. The
books arc allowed to be taken home
and read, and then returned. The
Boston Journal says:
"1he institution is one Of which our
citizens have every reason to DC
proud. 1t is the elimination of that
great educational structure of which
the primary schools are the founda'
ton stones. Rising in regular grada'
! ton thercfrom are the grammar
schools, the Latin school. the English
High school, the Normal school foi
Girls, and the Free Public Library
The children of the city are received al
the portals of this cdificc, instructc,
in the very elements Of learning, then
conducted step by step to the higher
branches, until they become fitted iol
the active duties of life and to become
good and useful citizens, when the de
partmcnts of science, of art and o.
literature are freely thrown open tC
them, in the rich stores of learning
which are treasured upon the shelves
of the public library May the intcres
which is now felt in this excellent i'll

The Mormon " ar.

The St Joseph (Mo.) Journal of the
Goth ult has the following piece of III
tclligcnce:
1--WE were yesterday informed that
a gentleman passed through the city
with dispatches to Fort Lcavenworth,
who reported that our troops had come
in collision with large force OF Nor
mons, and that fierce conflict cnsucd
in which our men were defeated, with
loss of over two hundred killed
and number taken prisoners. lie
also reported that the wretchcs muir
dercd, in cold blood all the soldiers,
and hung all the officers that fell into
their hands, declaring at the time that
it was a war of determination, and
that for every drop of Mormon blood
that was shed, that of the Gcntilcs
should flow like water. We hope,
sincerely that the report may be OK
aggcratcd."
The st. Joseph Gazette notices the
report and adds that the detachment
thus slaughtered was Col. Cooks com
mand, which, while passing from
Hams Fork to Fort Bridgcr was sur
rounded by superior force of Nor,
mons, and after q short resistance,
captured and butchcred.
We learn from Washington that
, orders are issued and will be dispatch
, cd Immediately, for the LIST cavalry
and the sth infantry, now in Kansas
and the 18th infantry now III Texas, tc
hold themselves in readiness to march
by the LIST of April, to reinforce the
army in Utah.
The War Department has deter
r mined on sending Immediately large re
Inducements to the army now serving
in Utah. This force will consist o.
four full regiments which will be com
posed of both cavalry and infantry
, with 30 light batteries of infantry. II
is expected that they will concentrate
at Fort Lcavcnworth, and take W
= their line of march at an early day.
From late adviccs it appears thai
, the Mormons will not retreat from
c Utah, as was expected by the govern
G ment, but will fight it out where the.
are. This insures us a bloody war il
i the spring.
