Sol. Miller, Of the Kansas Chiet, COM
plains that be is the victim of an outra.
geous conspiracy. The people of his
county are going to send him to the Leg
islature.
His platform is eminently popular
Here are two or three specimen planks:
We shall revise the militia law making
every man a Colonel.
We shall pass an act requiring banks,
whenever bill-holder loses any bill issued
by them, to pay the loser double the
amount, in gold.
We shall pass bill largely increasing
the salaries of all officers in the State,
great and small. This, at first glance,
may look like imposing additional taxes
upon the people. On the contrary, it will
be intended for the benefit Of all. Every
man in Kansas is after Office; and this act
therefore, will be for tho increase of the
salary Of every man in Kansas.

The Late Treasurer. John Mckinney.

There are serious grounds to fear that, inde-
pendent OF the Dewey & Hazeton matter, the
relations of John Mckinney to the money affairs
OF the State are deeply involved.
Mr. Mckinney received from the D. 4 NJ Rail-
way, on account Of tue specific State tax, accep-
tahces 10 the amount of about s23, 900 in equal
amounts due respectively ith. August, Septem-
Der, October, November, December and Janu-
a-y, and these he negotiated in New York, gave
his receipts officially, but made TO account OF
the monies at the State Treasury. The Statute
requires the counter signature of the Auditor
General, IN order to make them evidence OF pay
meat. Under this view OF the case, the amount
of S23. 600 stands between John Mckinney anC
the y d n. Railway Company. On the othei
hand, it i urged that although the receipt, lack
/ ing the counter signature of the Auditor Genera
is not evidence, vet other evidence may be re
sorted to- in order to holi the State, by the sig
nature o. the Treasurer. IL is question o

that the house paying the interest On account Of

reimbursed in thirty days, in Sterling Exchange,
at seven per cent interest. This is paying at the
rate OF seven per cent per annuID, and at the
