SPURIOUS PRETENsIONS.

GA man is known by the company he keeps,''
is an axiom universally accepted as the rule.
Every man has an inward sympathy, which
will at times exhibit itself in support of his pro-
fessions. A mans actions are governed by his
feelings. and he will rarely be found working
contrary to them. So that when we see person
always acting with che Democrats, at the same
time protesting to be Republican, we have
abundant reason to believe that his professions
spurious. In short, his professions are bogus.
for he has nothing to sustain them. This is no
assertion; it is logic.
A few Republican voters will next Tuesday
be swindled out of their votes by the pretensiOns
to Republicanism of a. W. CALLEN. Mr.. Callen
makes such pretensions, but his actions will
never cause any one to believe them. He is now
working, CHECK by jowl." with all the old
Ruffians and Copperheads in Davis county
elements so antagonistic to his professions tina,
people must be pardoned for doubling him. The
mass of the people are little verdant regarding
the designs of such tricksters but there is limit
to their verdancy-the imposition may be toe
bold. We would warn Republicans against
voting for man whose actions for the past two
years would not indicate the slightest Republi
canism. 1t is enough for you know that tn.
Copperheads are his main supporters, and tha
every one of them will vote for him.

Removal of Rosecran5,

subsequently, through opium be became in
sensible. The second charge, it is rumored
is made BY the Government to the effect
that bis orders were to remain at Chatta-
nooga until reinforcements should arriye.
The third charge, as rumored. is to the
effect that he declined to move frou, Muir

so by the Government, as an opportunity
was offered to crush Bragg, large portion
of his army having been withdrawn to aid

Provost Marshal General Fry has furnished
statement of troops raised by Kansas, under
the various calls. She has furnished an excess
of 4,440 over all demanded of her; and this
does not inclnde one colored and two Indian
regiments, the 14th and 18th regiments, nor
the recruits raised for old regiments since
June 3Oth. Gen. Fry states that under all
drafts which may be ordered, Kansas will be
credited with the excess of troops that she has
raised. Therefore, having an excess Of from
eight to ten thousand, she will escape the
draft for some time to come.
By rule of the Postofice Department,
which is justified by the letter of the law, If
the amount of postage stamp upon letter

the deficiency is charged to the receiver. For

ing the merest fraction over half an ounce, if
prepaid with but single stamp, is burdened
with an additional postage Of six cents, which
the receiver must pay.

tool of Lane and Wilder is the reason, II Council
Grove Press.
We think the statement of the Press slightly
erroneous, though we have no official informa-
tion on the subject. We understand the reason
OF the removal of Banks was, LIST, The appoint
ment of the notorious Sam. Wood" as one oi
his deputies and I'd, his failure to report the
appointment to his superior officer, and although
he estimated and drew pay for him. His failure
to report the appointment ought to have been
received as prima facia evidence that he had the
decency to be ashamed of it; but it seems it was
not SO understood and construed by the War De.
partment, and hence the removal. We are sorry
for Banks. He is good fellow. but entirely toe
amable towards notorious and importunats
fellows.

Gen. Banks Expedition Lands in Texas

The Port Royal New South of the 18th
contains the following:
The u. S. steamer Bienville, of the
Western Gulf Squadron, touched at this
place on her way to Philadelphia for repairs,
She brings the important intelligence, re-
ceived at New Orleans just before she left,
that grand expedition, under Mai. Gen.
Banks, had effected landing at Point Isa-
bell, Texas, small place at the mouth Of
the Rio Grardc River, with two corps, one
under Franklin and the other under a Mai.
or General whose name We did not learn.
The successful occupation of Point Isabel
will give US, in short time, possession of
Brownsville, which is opposite Matamoras.
Mexico, the grand entrepo: of the rebels,
from which munitions of war and needed
supplies are transferred across the Rio
Grande to the former place By small boats.
A large portion Of the Confederate cotton
which has been sen. TO Europe to purchase
supplies, has passed through Brownsville to
Anglo rebel blockade runners, lying on the
Mexican neutral side of the river Of
course our occupation of the place will
etfectualiy put stop to this illegal traffic.
and at the same time will enable our block
aders to close the river with small force.
In one other matter the occupation of Tex
as will have an important bearing: it will
enable the Government to keep q powerful
corps of observation on the very borders Of
the theatre of French operations in Mexico,
which may be made quickly available in
case our complicated relations With Napo-
leon should result in war with that grasp
ing and unprincipled potentate. General
banks. always active and ever victorious,
will soon be in possession of all important
points in Texas, and practically of the en-
tire State. 1t is understood that another
corps of his army is cooperating with him
from the direction of the Red River coun-
try. We anticipate glorious news from
that quarter BY the next steamer.

THE STATE DEBT.

The editor of the Council Grove Press informs
his readers that the last Legislature increased the
public debt, and issued the bonds of the State to
the amount of $15O,000. He does not tell us why
this was done, or say whether the State could or
could not, with honor, have done otherwise. A
portion Of these bonds were issued to fulfil the
contract of the State, made by our State officers,
with the Secretary Of the Interior which contract
the Secretary insisted on having fulfilled under
as security for the fuliment of the contract the
residue of the bonds were issued to pay debts
incurred by previous Legislatures, and which
were pressing for payment. Will Mr. Wood
inform us how the Legislature could, without a
resort to the jeff Davis doctrine Of repudiation,
have avoided issuing these bonds. We deny
that the Legislature increased the public debt at
all The outstanding scrip was as much pub
lie debt as are the bonds issued in its stead
and the obligation to deliver bonds under the
Robinson contract was as binding upon tht
honor of the State as are the bonds themselves
Legislature of last winter had any legal exist
ence. All that that body did was to render i
possible for the people of Kansas to pay the
liabilities by spreading it over fifteen years in
stead of levying tax and collecting the whole
sum in single year. Had this latter cours
been adopted, one-half the people Of Kansas
would have been overwhelmed, utterly ruined
by the enormous tax which would have beer
required. Is the last Legislature and the Stat
Administration to be "whistled down the wind
by blatant denagogues because they did no
adopt this suicidal policy, or the no less ugl..
alternative of repudiation and State disgrace 2
Sam. Wood was member of the first Legisla
ture. Will he inform US of the amount Of public
debt created by that Legislature. the object 70
which it was created, and how he voted on tn
issuance of the bonds?
