SCHOOL HoUsE.-It is a fact which
does not add credit to White Cloud, that
we now have no house suitable for school
or church purposes. There are a great
many children here of proper age to
attend school, and the number is rapidly
increasing. Cold weather is fast ap-
preaching, and there should be a school
here through the Winter, by all means.
But without house is procured, there
can be no school. 1t is one of the worst
state of affairs that can exist in q commu-
nifty. to have the children growing up in
idleness and ignorance. There is scarcely
a town in Kansas but has a school, and
White Cloud should not be so far behind
every other community in this respect.
There was very good school house here.
il it had been finished. But for small
debt, it was advertised to be sold under a
mechanics lien-whether the sale came
of or not. we are unable to say. Then q
storm came along, and blew the house of
of its foundation posts. and it now pre-
sents q deplorable condition-giving the
town worse appearance than If the space
occupied by the house were overgrown
with hszel-brush. ANY action taken in
the matter should be at once, for there is
not much time between this and cold
weather. A achool house would answer
also for church purposes. There is also
another consideration to be looked to.
II Kansas is admitted as a State, the
Constitution provides that no District
shall receive any school money unless
there shall have been school kept up
within it for at least three months in the
year. Therefore, if the people of this
place desire to do justice to the youth, and
to receive public school money. instead of
paying il directly from their own pockets.
they should be preparing a place to hold
a school-either by raising, repairing and
disencumbering the house already here, or
building 8 new one.

y Row IN ATCHIsoS.-The old Border
Ruffian spirit will still occasionally show
itself IN Kansas. On the day of the re-
cent municipal election in Atchison, the
Republicans hired the Band to play for
their candidate for Mayor. Some of the
members of the Band were lacking strip
of muslin containing the name of the
Republican candidate on their band wag-
on. when the Pro-Slavery leaders, among
whom were Hereford and Carr, declared
that if they did so, or if they would not
also play tune for their candidate, for
every one played for the Republicans, they
should not play at all. or would do so at
their peril. Intense excitement now arose,
and row was only prevented by the Band
dispensing and not playing. The result
was, people discovered that the present
Democratic party of Kansas is the iden-
teal Border Ruffian party of other days
and number of persons declared their
intention to quit it instanter.

The SCRAMBLE COMMUNICATION next
Saturday. the Democratic County Con-
vention assemblies at Troy. The asPir-
ants are multiplying, and pulses are get
ting up to fever heat.
For Councilman, X. K. Stout is pro-
posed. We have heard no other name
mentioned for this post.
For Representative, 7. j. Vanderslice's
name is on the docket. There will
doubtless be plenty of aspirants for this
Office. The County is entitled to three
Representatives.
The great scuffle will be for Sheriff
Willis, Brady and Byrd. of Troy. Shop
herd, of Doniphan, Blakely. Of Iowa
Point, and Walker, o. Bellemont, are in
the ring. and others are expected.
For Clerk. E. NJ. Les will have clear
field. His nomination will be the easiest
of any man on the ticket, and so will his
defeat.
For Probate Judge. E. NJ. Hubbard
appears. Daugherty, of Wayne Town
ship, is also entered. and those who pre-
tend to know, say he will win, from the
fact that he has been a professed Free
State man, and is thought to have not
yet lost his popularity with that party.
We have likewise heard the name of a
gentleman in Wolf River Township men,
toned for this office; but from what we
can gather from some of the " initiated, |"
he will be postponed"
For the other offices to be filled. we
have heard no names mentioned but
there is not the slightest danger but that
there will be found plenty of men willing
to accept them.
We understand that some of the old
bell-sheep" are getting touchy on the
renegade question. Some have even been
so bold as to boast aloud that the new
converts have had their share of the hon
onrs; that they have answered the pur-
pose to make the County Democratic /;
and that now the old stand bys must
have show. Last year, they trotted out
for the Legislature. Sparks. Wrigley,
Penny, Croft and Shepherd. all pretend
ed Free State men-and they were all
beaten. The Democrats have since car
ried the County, and now they want a
change Of programme. At Iowa Point,
they have recommended Stout, Wander
slice and Blakely; while heretofore. they
delighted to honor such men as Hubbard
and Sparks. 1t is said that Wrigley has
been black alled, and that, having serv-
ed their ends in time of need. they have
kicked him aside. IF they intend to
make clean thing of their new arrange
ment, what will become Of Lee, Hubbard
and Shepherd ? But they may admit a
few of their fresh converts, as a bait.

] J A Coon NoTICE.-Cook, of the Holt
County News. was over here, few days
ago, and he gives the following handsome
notice Of the City Hotel and its proprie-
tor. The compliment is well deserved,
as all who have ever stopped at the Hotel
can testify:
WHITE CLOUD HoTEL.-While at
White Cloud, this week, we stopped at
the City Hotel, and found it to possess
the best accommodations of any house
we have visited in the West The trav-
cling public will remember that it is con-
Quoted by the gentlemanly proprietor Mr..
j. Fl. Ctt. and that everything will be
done to make its guests comfortable. II
you want to get the best meal that can be
gotten up in Kansas, just stop at the City
Hotel. We have tried it, and can rec
ommend it from experience.

ANOTHER PROCLAMATION. = Secretary
Walsh, as Acting Governor, in the alb
sence of Gov. Medary, has issued 4 Pro-
clamation for voting upon the Constitu-
ton, different from that Of the President
and Secretary of the Convention. He is
being severely denounced for this; but any
one reading the law Of the Legislature
providing for Constitution, cannot fail
to see at once that Walsh is in the right.
That act gives the Convention the power
to prescribe the manner and form in which
the Constitution shall be submitted. The
meaning of this is not as clear as it might
be; but what follows, is so clear that he
may read who runs as fast as his legs Gan
carry him. For all elections to be held
under that act, the Governor is to issue
the proclamstions, &C.. and TO him the
returns are to be transmitted by the Coun-
ty Boards. All white male inhabitants
Of twenty-one years and upwards, and all
civilized Indians, or those who have been
made citizens by treaty or otherwise. who
shall have resided in the Territory six
months. and in the Township or precinct
ten days, are entitled to vote, and no reg
istry is required. Heavy penalties are
provided against any violation of this
law. 1t is rather loose. and will admit
of any amount Of swindling and fraud !;
but such is the law, and any violation of
it will only lead to difficulty. and proba-
bly, defeat the Constitution. The sections
in reference to the elections are as much q
portion of the Convention act, as that
part sppertaining to the holding of the
Convention and its provisions will not
be complied with until the returns of all
the elections are officially announced. 1t
does not stand to reason that men elected
to carry out the provisions of an act Of
the Legislature, have any authority to al
ter or amend that act, or to assume any
powers not delegated to them.

GONE "HoME." The Leavenworth
papers announce that Judge Johnston has
been called home to Ohio, in consequence
of sickness in his family. Our notion is,
that a mans home should be among
those whom be seeks to represent. Mr..
PARROTS home is in Kansas. But we
presume Judge JohnstOn's family are too
refined to live among the rufians out
here; but the Judge is nevertheless will
ling to receive honors at the hands Of
those mud-sills." Well, no matter
the people, in November, will give him
permission to stay at homel
