Quite an excitement has been raised in
Osawatomie, by the absconding of Cyrus
Tator, merchant of that town, and Probate
Judge of Lykins county. The Osawatomie
Herald says that he took advantage of the
necessities of the people, and bought up the
stock which the people were obliged to sell
because they have raised n thing to keep it
on. This stock he paid for in his notes,
due In short time. He sold the stock for
cash as rapidly as possible, and then left
with the money. His store was taken pos
session of by his brother-in-law, who pro-
fessed to have bought the goods. The cred
itors regarded the sale as sham. to prevent
them from getting their pay, and some OF
them forcibly entered the store, and took
such goods a. they could get their hands
upon. It is estimated that he owed the far
mers FIVE or six thousand dollars.

at all, and no principles except "plunder" is
the depth of disgrace. And to this has the
once proud Democracy come at last.
The victory is one of which the Republi-
cans may well be proud. It is all theirs.
Scoring all alliances with men who would
not fight under the banner of Republican
principles. and trusting to the righteous
ness of their cause, and their own energy
at all pointasand gained the greatest polt-
ical victory the country has ever witnessed.
1t removes the last obstacle to the election
of Lincoln, and shows with how deep an in
terest and strong determination the North
has at last been reused.
The result of these State elections is par
tieularly crushing upon Mr.. Douglas
claims to consideration as candidate for
the Presidency. Five days before the cleo
ton he made speech at Chicago in which
he said: .'Six months ago I thought the
Republicans had chance for success. NoU
1 kaoag they have none, for the people have
had the issues of the canvass fairly present
ed to them He evidently alluded to his
own speeches and efforts. The result shows
that in every place where Mr.. Douglas spoke
the Republicans have gained votes by hun
dreds, and thousands! Presidential timer
ancy don't pay. Mr.. Douglas was the first
and will be the last stump candidate for
the Presidency. 1t seems certain now that

every lover of his country ought to be pro-
foundry thankful.
The returns show losses and gains Of
Congressman in each State; though the
proportion is not yet ascertained certainly.
The probabilities are that the proportion
will be about the same as two years ago.

"Perry B. Maxson," according to the
Sentinel, ''dppears to be the unanimous
choice" of a certain portion of the people
of this county for Representative. If we
recollect Alright, this is the same man who
perambulated this county not long since,
endeavoring to convince the farmers, that
the best way to make money, and improve
the country, was to '.pen up the stock, and
let the crops ran at large" This is almost
equal to the famous bill introduced last ses-
sion By Stephen g, which provided that il
the cattle belonging to A. should break in
to the field of grain belonging to B. and
damage themselves by eating too much OF
said grain; Il. could recover, by salt at iaac,
from B. .fo~ said damage.
We wonder how many more such legisla-
tors the people of this county want. No.
no. gentlemen, you must excuse us, we
can't train in that company any longer
Breckenridge has been the laughing stock
of the whole country quite long enough;
we prefer TO vote for men of sense after this.

building for Court House, free of any ex-
pense whatever to the county. The Court
House will be sufficiently large and comfor-
table to answer the county for that purpose
for ten or fifteen years. Also, IN connec-
ton with the Court House, there will be
furnished al the Offices necessary for the

to complete the Jail that is now partly built,

Americas is made the county seat.
Now the taxpayers of Breckenridge coun-

FRIEND EpIroR In your last issue. I'M
der the head "The County Seat Question, %
you make charge against Fremont, which
l wish you to correct. You say "There
have been distributed throughout the coun-
ty within the past six weeks, more than IF
ty deeds to property in Americas and Ere
mont, for which there never has been one
cent value received > the consideration is
ezpected to be vote for tie county seat
This is not mere assertion but can be readi-
ly proved at any time" Now the plain in :
ference is (indeed the charge is distinctly
made out. that the Fremont Town Com
pany has given away and made deeds to lots,
in order to secure votes for the county seat.
This is serious charge and I hold you
are bound to prove it or retract. I chal-
lenge ysu for the proof Produce it and
will resign my place in the company.
THOMAS ARMOR,
Pres. Fremont Town Co.
We cheerfuily give place to the above
from our friend Armor, and are happy to
say that we never supected him capable OF
the contemplate and dishonest tricks charged
in our article. We do not believe there is
more honorable man in the county than
DR.. Armor but he must not be surprised
to find that some of his associates are less
SO. We do not know that the Fremont
Torn Co., have ever donated lots in this
manner, and we did not charge them with
it, as will be plainly seen by reference to the
article in question. But what we do say
and what we can prove is, that a member
of the Town Company, offered man in his
own township, first one, then two, and fin
ally three lots in Fremont, if he would vote
to place the county seat there; or, if he
would not vote for Fremont, the same offer
was made if be would cast his vote for Amer
icus, or any other place except Emporia.-
The man who made this offer is Stephen g.
Elliot, the name of the one to whom it was
made, will be given on application of Mr..
Elliott. Another member of Fremont Town
Co., while on tour through the county,
ostensibly for the purpose of buying hogs,
did carry with him deeds 10 property in
Fremont, and offer them to parties for their
votes. This hog Ouyer is Vim. TannaAiH.
If Mr.. Tannahill denies it be shall have the
proof.
So much for Fremont. The Seminal does
not deny the charge against them, and we
predict will not until the eve of the election,
when there will not be time to furnish the
proof. There are now at least twenty and
probably thirty deeds to Americas property
in the hands of men in Pike township alone;
the holders of which state publicly in our
streets, that they never gave the value of
one cent for them, and know of no reason
why they were given to them, except to in
f1uence them to vote for Americas.
When proprietors of paper towns, are
obliged to resort to such contemplate mean
ness as this, it is time for the people to set
the seal of their condemnation upon them,
as they are sure to do on tie 9th of Novem-

article half column in length, states no less
than six-well, what shall we call them
untruths. We will notice few of them
briefly. They 1.-THE Commissioners, have
refused to pay various bills that properly
belong to the county to pay" They have
refused to even furnish the necessary books
and stationery for the use of the county,
They have also refused to pay legitimate
accounts" "They must have guessed at
the amount of tax to be levied this year."
"None of the expenses of the September
term of the District Court Lave yet been
paid" All the answer the above charges
require is, that they are each and every one
false, simply and rediculously false, as will
fully appear when the proceedings of the
board are published.
The secret of the bitterness OF the SENT
mel. will be found in those proceedings in the
