WHERE IS THE MONEY?

We have repeatedly called upon the Relief
Committee to make statement of the money
they receive. and the disposition they make
of it. We have right to make the demand
the people of Kansas ought to know what is
done with the money given by the charitable
to save them from suffering.
No statement, however. is made. New
York city gives fifteen thousand dollars in
one week but what is done with it? Do
the needy get il. or is it used for other pur-
poses? Probably two hundred thousand
dollars in money-to say nothing of provi-
sions and clothing-have been sent to Kan
sas. Why is it not accounted for? What
is done with IL?
The conclusion is irresistible, that, after
having represented our State IS zone vast
charnel- house," and our ciLizens as .'skele-
TONS" in order to excite the feelings of gen.
erous men. the money. which pours in like
water, is misapplied.

I'VE From INDIANA.


During the tendency of the Kansas bill
before Congress, last year, Hon. John d.
Defrees, writing from Washington to his
own paper, the atlas, the leading R-publi-
can journal of Indiana, used the following
language
Should Kansas be admitted, two U. s.
Senators must be chosen. In view of the
services rendered the people of Kansas by
Gen. Lane during the border-ruffian trou-
bles, it is said that some of her citizens de-
sire to elect that gentleman as one of their
Senators. Without desiring to disparage
these services in the least, it is net improprr
to submit to the people of Kansas. that the
qualities thus exhibited do not of Il emselves
render him the most suitable man for the
position to which he aspires. Care should
be taken to elect men of unblemished moral
character, and of undoubted abil ties. Thus
they will be able to take rank among he
best public men of the country. and to ex-
ercise an influence for the welfare of the
young Safe, not to be attained by those Of
an opposite character and without states
manlke ability.
As Kansas has occupied so prominent a
position in the events of the last five years.
much interest is felt by the Republicans here
that no mistake be made in the selection oil
her first Senator'S and If their wishes were
regarded, Gen. Lane would net be one oil
them. Indeed, in view of the acquaintance
with Gen. Lane by the people of Indiana.
do not believe his election will add any
Thing to the Republican strength of our

AS we have lately rejected several COM

gard to certain matter, the history of which
follows. We deemssome explanation due, both
to them and ourselves. On the 9Th of Jan
tnary Communication rejecting somewhat
on the statements which had been made in
regard to the destitution in this county,
was published in the Sob6oth Recorder, a
religious paper printed in the city of New
York, which had been written to friend in
New Jersey by w. B. Davis. of this county.
The letter was afterwards copied in the
Americas Sentinel. paper printed in this
county. We have no comments to make on
the contents of the communication. Mr..
Davis must be held responsible for any and
all statements made in the communication
alluded to. Suffice it TO say that one of the
gentlemen who has charge of relief matters
IN this township. having read the letter in
the Sentinel. took exceptions to the state
ments made therein. and wrote Mr.. Davis q
letter, which. with the reply. was published
in The News two weeks ago. In his re-
ply to Mr.. Cloud, Mr.. Davis made some al
iusicn to society in the northern part OF
this county, known as Sabbatarians. of
which he is member. we supposing he al
lu1ed to the Hiatt R-lief Committee of that
township. We published his letter beeause
ne had not had hearing. and wished to ex
plain certain statements in his original let
ter which were liable to misconstruction.
Communications have been received from
Leroy Crandal and c. D. Burdick. in reply
TO Mr.. Davis, which We have thought proper
to suppress-not because we had not as soon
publish their communications as those of
Mr. Davis, but because we think it is better
for I'll concerned that they should not appear.
A bitter personal quarrel through our col
umns would be had, which would inevitably
result in harm. not only 70 the Society. Blu

in it. and to our paper.
We have the highest respect for alp the
gentlemen concerned in this matter. and we

The friends Of General Lane believe that
the President elect wants that gentleman in
the Senate. That is one of the arguments
they urge to induce men to vote for the
Lane candidate for Senator. We have seen
letter dated at Springfield, purporting to
speak authoritatively on this subject. We
know the author of the letter. He is q
drunken journeyman printer who used to
publish paper in Leavenworth City. In
the FIRST place we do not believe Mr.. Lin
coin would express any opinion as to who
should be the Senator's from Kaneas, and
we certainly do not believe he would author
ize such a man as the one above alluded to,
to act as his mouthpiece in so important a
matter Those who wish to believe il a:e al

pose to be fed on any such. soft corn.
