her politicians and merchants. Her vote
has been given for Lawrence or Topeka, As
pay or prejudice inclined.
But the Capital is dead issue ; We have
done our duty and have no more to say
about it. If bribery has settled the ques-
t;on wa canuot be blamed for it.
The County election has been hotlv con.
tested. The Republican ticket was good
one the Democratic ticket was the worst
possible it offered for candidates several
men Who were as rank traitors as any in the
army of JEFF. Davis. And it may be elect
ed. If the people want such miscreants in
office. they have the undoubted right to
vote them in.
The State ticket excited very little atten-
ton. Although the Governor, the Attor'
new General and the Auditor were magnan-
,mously taken by the Republicans from the
Democratic party, yet that traitor conclave
threw off on the State ticket. They did
not have the name of single State Office,
on their tickets; they did not even vote fol
the yacaacies on the State ticket. Such
meanness, such depravity, such utter con
tempt of Union men and Union principles
as was yesterday manifested by the Demo
Gratis of this county, merits and will receive
the execration of loyal men in all parts o.
Kansas.
But the contest is over and we are con
tent with having done our duty.

A HIGHER LAW.

The views Of one of the most distinguish
ed of them, Mr.. Jefferson, in regard to the
paramount law of necessity, is expressed in
the following extract from letter written
by him to J. B. Colvin, September 10,
1910:
"The question you propose, whether cir
cumstances do not sometimes occur which
make it duty of officers in high trust to
assume authorities beyond the law, is easy
of solitude in principle, but sometimes
embarrassing in practice. A strict obser-
vance of the written law is doubtless one Of
the high duties of good citizens but it is
not the highest. The laws of necessity, Of
self.preservation, of saving our country
when in danger, are of higher obligation.
To loose our country by scrupulous ad-
herence to written law would be to loose the
law itself, with life, liberty, property, and
all those who are enjoying them With US
thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the
means.
When, in the battle of Germantown, Gen
eral Washington's army was annoyed from
Chew's house, he did not hesitate to plant
his cannon against it, although the property
of citizen. When he beseiged Yorktown
he levelled the suburbs, feeling that the
laws Of property must be postponed to the
safety of the nation. While the army was
before York, the Governor of Virginia took
horses, carriages, provisions, and even men,
by force, to enable that army to stay to-
gether till it could master the public enc
my; and he was justified. A ship at sea,
in distress for provisions, meets another
having abundance, yet refusing supply,
the law of selfpreservation authorizes the
distressed to take supply by force. In
all these cases, the unwritten laws of neces
sity, of selfpreservation, and Of the public
safety, control the written laws Of mean,
and tuuns."

OCCUPATION OF FORT SMITH.


It is possible that the rebel forces of
Price and Mccullough under the new Gen
eral, A. s. johnson, may give battle to
General Freemont's army at or near Camp
Walker, which is seven miles south Of the
Missouri line, and is described to be strong
position. But as Fremont's army numbers
not less than 25, 900 men, with fifty pieces
Of artillery, the contest could not be doubt
full Ike only danger would be in making
the attack with the advance guard, and not
waiting for the other divisions to arrive.
The {" Flying Dutchman," as SeigeI is
called, has command Of the advance column,
and may feel impatient to pitch into the
sccesh without comparing forces. How far
it Is proposed to pursue the rebels into
Arkansas this fall is not known, but will
doubtless be governed by circumstances.
Il Is very possible that Lane and Seiqel
will not stop short Of Fort Smith, which is
. very important post, in stragetic point
Of view, - it commands the Indian coun.
Try, the Arkansas river, which is navigable
to that place, and the main roads leading

to Western Texas. Give Jim Lane 10 600
rangers at Fort Smith, and he would not
ask fairer field for displaying his military
talents. Not many secesh flags would be
seen flying within 800 miles of his head
quarters, and still fewer slaves of rebels
would remain in bondage in that wide
range Of country. Jim Lane has no rever-
ence for the divine institution-especially
the part of it in the hands of traitors.
Western Texas is within easy reach of
Fort Scott, and is full of Uaion men. It
is chiefly settled by Germans who are loyal
to the last man. If Lane had chance to
throw a brigade into Western Texas, be
would rally thousands of loyal men to his
support, and obtain foothold from which
the secessionists could not drive him. 1t
is beautiful country for winter cam
paign, and wonders might be accomplished
before spring. The hardy miners of Pixies
Peak would flock to his standard in great
numbers, as would the Kansas pioneers.
The Indians who have been seduced into
rebellion by the persuasions and false rep
reservations of the rebels, would be re-
claimed to loyalty, or soundly punished if
they refused to return to their obedience to
the Great Father. In short, in every point
of view, it seems to Us, that the occupation
of Fort Smith, with strong division, would
be master stroke of military policy.-Chi-

Aauatio Soldiers.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Herald writes as follows
The military preparations of the French
Government are going on with great activity.
Experiments are just now going on at Nln-
cennes with view to use common rlfed
howitzers as mortars, by fixing them at
very sharp angle, wEich enables small shells
to be thrown some six thousand metres
But these experiments excite but little at
tention in comparison with a new invention
which has been tried with perfect success:
and by which foot soldier in heavy march
ing order is enabled to aUdls on The aoater
aeithont sinking 1t consists of a pair of
India rubber boots and trousers, all of one
piece, which are filled with air little be-
low the waist, and heavily weighted at the
feet. With these trousers on, detachment
has frequently crossed the lake of Vincennes
where the water is about fifteen feet deep,
firing their muskets and loading as they
went. The men sink abous two feet, the
water barely reaching the top of their thighs
and appear not to have any difficulty III
keeping their balance ard moving along
The experiment is to be repeated in pres
ence of the Emperor, and there is not the
slightest doubt of its being adopted for the
army. The inventor is a manufacturer of
Douai, and hear that he offered his lnven-
ton to the British Government some time
ago, but was laughed at, and'eyen refused a
trial. The consequence of the adoption of
this system need hardly be pointed out
Fancy on calm day at sea how easy il
would be to land three or four thousand
men, who would forthwith walk ashore, and
secure landing for the rest of the force
For the crossing of rivers, the advantage OF
this system is still more obvious, and the
delays caused by the necessity for construc
ting bridges or discovering fords would be
done away with. | may add, as it is not
improbable that plan for making soldiers
amphibious may meet with some incredulity
that | can vouch for the accuracy Of the
particulars given above, which have reached
me from military friend who himself wit
messed what have attempted to describe
can readily believe, however, that you vii
require ample corroboration.

E We see it announced in several Of
our Kansas exchanges that "thc editor is
prepared to pay taxes for non-residents."
Now, we guess this is pretty good dodge.
Who knows but some nonresident, who
hasn't very extensive acquaintance with
the editorial fraternity, will be duped there
by. We think we'll try it. Therefore, the
whole world will please take notice that the
editor of this paper will give his undivided
attention to paying the taxes of non-resi-
dents. Bona-fide settlers can pay their
own taxes, if they are able; if not, let them
suffer. We belong exclusively to the non
residents, and We wont charge anything for
our trouble if we fail to perform our duty.
Gentlemen, send in your names, and don't
get postage stamp "for return letter"
If this don't win we will try the dbug
|exterminator," which is one of the most
wonderful discoveries of modern times.

THE ELECTION.

The election in Davis County passed off
quietly. In junction much rivalry was
manifested by opposing candidates, but
general good feeling prevailed. The result
shows that the Democracy of Davis county
have lost their supremacy. Heretofore
they have had complete sway, and have
never failed to place their nominees in
office but their course since the rebellion
has greatly weakened, if not entirely de-
stroycd their organization and influence in
Davis county.
The Democrats have lost one Commis-
sioner, the Register, Surveyor, Treasurer,
County Clerk, and Coroner. The Union
men have elected the above officers with the
exception of Treasurer, and County Clerk.
Mr. Mitchell, Independent candidate for
Treasurer, has majority Of one over the
regula, Union candidate-ourself Mr..
Gordon, Independent, was elected County
Clerk. For Commissioner in this district
John 7. Price, Democrat, is probably elect
ed over William Stattz, Union, by one
majority. Our candidate for Sheriff is
beaten by fue. On the whole, it is tri-
umph of the Union cause. Had the field
been clear to the regular nominees the
Union ticket would probably have carried
the county by twenty-five majority. With
out doubt the Independent candidates de-
feated our Sheriff and Treasurer. The
future will tell whether their course in this
election is beneficial or detrimental.
Topeka, for State Capital, has about two
hundred votes in the county, Junction has
about twenty, and Lawrence and Leaven-
worth one each at this precinct.
The State ticket was voted by the Union
party to a man, and by portion of the
Democratic party.
The County has probably cast its vote
against the Banking Law also the Amend
ment.
For District Attorney, Macarthur will
lead Case few votes in the county. Dou
thitt received but one vote as far as heard
from.
Our Representatives are little ahead in
this county, we believe, though at the time
of going to press, We have not the full
returns. No doubt is entertained, however,
of the success of our ticket in the District
by one hundred and Fifty majority.
Though not perfectly satisfied with the
result, we have no disposition to complain.
The Democracy are badly crippled, and in
another battle, if the Union forces will
only hang together, we shall be able to
completely exterminatc them
Our returns from Dickinson county indi-
cate small majority for the Democratic
party, though what advices we have are
very meagre. The majority for either par
ty will be small.

the feelings of gratitude which oppress me
in my retirement. l shall offer my prayer
to God for this Administration, and for my
Country. l shall pray for it with conf
dence for its success over all enemies, and
that speedily.
The President then took leave of Gen
eral Scott, giving him bis hand, and saying
he hoped soon to write him private letter,
expressive of his gratitude and affection.

MERCY TO THE MHRcuEss.;

The New York Evening Post sketches
with master hand, the contrast between
the humane course of our Government and
the inhuman policy of that of the Rebels:
We restrain our soldiery from trcading
the soil of State that wears the mask of
peace and protests her loyalty, until she
casts aside her pretense and reveals her hills
covered and her forests and defles lined with
batteries. We spare the lives of traitors,
relying on their honor and their oaths, and
soon after find the subjects of our mercy in
the ranks of our foes. We have respected,
in all cases, the usual signals Of truce but
they confound the hospitalities of war BY
carrying our banner as decoy, and having
won by so base and cowardly an act, an ad-
vantage of position, they pour their mur-
derous fire on our soldiers about to embrace
them as brothers. We give our wounded
enemies water, and with reviving strength
they plunge the bayonet to the heart Of
their benefactors. We give free access to
our military posts aud our prisoners of war,
even to Congressional traitors, and per
petual truce to unarmed rebels, but Nor
thern men are imprisoned or shot all over
the South. We gallantly permit the wives
of rebels in arms to boast their family dis
loyalty in the circles of our Capitol, and in
directly live from the public treasury, and
at the same time complacently hear Of Nor
thern women sojourniDg in the South, strip
ped to the waist and whipped With the knout,
for no crime but the love of the government
of their fathers. We withhold, nay sup
press the stampedes and instructions Of q
servile race, while they force their slaves to
throw up the breastworks behind which they
may in comparative safety deal death to the
defenders Of the Constitution. We decline
the services Of men whose color as well as
whose occupation might be questionable to
our fastidious foemen, and send our white
citizens alone to do the parallel entrenching
and to fall under the FIRE Of negro battalions.
We discourse feelingly Of our recent frafer-
nal relations, and hope that the rebels will
lay down their arms and return to obedience
to the Constitution and the laws Of peace !;
they poins n to their newly formed allan
ces with the pirates Of the seas and the In
dian savages Of our frontiers. The world
viii judge which side Of this national strug-
gle glows with that glory Of " chivslry" that
accounts it honor to give the odds to your
enemy in deadly contest.

re- The American people, after having
tried every way to avert civil war, have ac-
cepted it at least as stern aecessny. The
chief interest, while it lasts, is not the en-
joyment of society or the profits of trade,
but the saviag ofthe national life. That
life saved, all the other blessings which at
tended it will speedily return, with greater
assurance of continuance thar ever before.

nS News from Europe per last steamer
shows the rebel emissarles in London and
Paris were confdent,and noisy in the belief
that the necessities of manufacturing inter-
est. will lead to an interference in the
American contest for the purpose of break
ing the blockade to procure supply OF
cotton.
II is nevertheless evident that their cause
is losing ground both with the people and
the press. The London Post, Palmerston's
organ, has strong article against any In
reference, and expressing the fallacy Of the
notion that recognition of the rebel States
would reopen the cotton trade; that. on
the contrary, recognition would only in
crease the vigor of the blockade, and any
interference would be an act of war.

FORT WISE THREATENED.

Through the kindness of friend we
are permitted to make the following extract
from a private letter bearing date of Fort
Wise, Colorado Territory, October 10Th.
Our worst suspicious we fear may yet be
realized, and it behooves the loyal citizens
Of Western Kansas to look we'll to all that
is necessary to our defence.
at was reported to the Commanding
officer of Fort Wise, Colorado Territory,
on the 18th inst. that there were five hun
dred Texans seventy miles below the post,
and marching to take it. A mounted party
we're sent from the Fort to make recon-
noissance. Next day information was given
at the Fort that another large body of ae-
ccssionists were but thirty or forty miles
above the Post. Another mounted party
was Immediately dispatched to observe their
movements. Up to The time the mail left
neither scouting party had been heard from.
A company of Mexican volunteers, escort
ing some arms for the Post, should have
arrived about the 14th, but had not been
heard of up to date 19th.) The general
impression here is tha, the Mexican com.
pany, with the arms, has been seized, and
that the Post was surrounded, and likely
to be taken. But the Commanding officer,
Captain E. Otis, is determined to fight fol-
it. Captain Otis is a Massachusetts, man,
and Union to the core"

p@- The bravery and chivs!ry of some
Of our officers is inficting upon the army its
most serious disasters. Their courage leads
them to an unjusti6able exposure of their
lives; their chivalry leads them to forget
fulness of their relative value in the army

Election in Leavenworth County.

Election in Leavenworth County.
The Leavenworth Conservative thus vents
itself the morning after election. We be.
gin to think Leayenworth "wont do to
bet on"
Yesterday was a spirited day in this town
and county. The location Of the Capital
seemed to be the important question. Law.
renee and Topeka had spent large sums Of
money here; they had bought up the Times
and Zeitung, (as we'll as nearly every other
paper in the State); they had bought up
strikers, runners and FOUNDERS who we're to
be seen and heard at every poll in the city.
Leavenworth has done nothing in this
contest Her duty was to prevent an cleo
ton and to save the State the expense ol
the two OF three hundred thousand dollars
which will presently be voted for the erec-
tion of Capital buildings. This was also
the interest and duty of the people of the
State at large. Our taxes will be sufficient
~ high without the onerous burden to which
we are now to be subjected. This policy
has been advocated in the Conservative
We have refosed the lots and gold Of Tope-
ka and Lawrence because the interests oi
the people were of more importance thar
our personal aggrandizement.
But Leavenworth has done nothing; hel
leading men have been careless or purohas
ed. The arguments offered BY unbough'
men have had no weight; the real inter
ests Of the people have not been consulted
and Leavenworth has been led into error BY

nA- The traitor Gov. Jackson had called
a session of the Legislature at Neosho, Mo.
It had met, and at that time lacked only
four members of having quorum.
