The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1864-04-23

the time of starting the Great Santa Fs NJ all
from there daily.
9th. The election of Thomas Carney, the
friend of Council Grove, as U. s. Senator IN
| place of Lane
Who will get his seat, 'Sam,' about
the time the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad crosses the Neosho al Council
Grove.
And these are the sophistries that Wood
tries TO palm of onto the people of Morris
county as genuine local, beneficial legisla-
ton. But the people of Morris county are
beginning already to see things in little
more practical light. Instead of Council
Grove as point on any important railroad,
they see Emporia the terminus of the most
important road south of the Kansas river,
with grant of land TO build it, presenting
powerful rival TO their own pet road as a
more available and practical route even TO-
wards Santa Fe. Instead of provision for
a Graded School, they see Emporia get a
thousand dollar appropriation as basis on
which 10 start the Normal School-wlich,
when started, the State is bound to provide
for. Instead of daily mails from Kansas
City, Topeka and towards Santa Fe, thay
see EmpOria and Junction City get increas-
ed mail faciities-Emporia a daily mail
from Lawrence, Junction City likely to be
the starting point OF the Great Santa Fe
Mail, and Council Grove tri, aOseEly from,
EmPOria. Instead of seeing Gov. Carney
their great friend, and come to their relief,
they zee their town mentioned on only one
railroad bill, and that in the hands of Sen
ator Lane, whom they were so anxious to
rebuke.
The result of these practical views began
to be made manifest. Sam saw their dis
content, and started for Washington to again
secure what he had told them was already
in their hands. He is met, be says, by ar
ticles from TIE EmPoR1A News, and other
papers, representing that he is not author
lied to speak for Council Grove. And, says
he, "Rather thans have the insult hurled
in our face, by the enemies of our place in
Washington, that we were not representing
Council Grove, we returned home" Com
ing home he finds his troublesome friend
Lockwood elected Colonel of the regiment
just vacated by Lis promotion as Brigadier
General, and at a popular election this same
Lockwood is elected Justice of the Peace
over one of Sans most plant toadies.
Sam raves at the ingratitude of the citi.
zene. Hear him in his last Press:
"What is the prospect of railroad 10
Council Grove has been asked Us very
often the past week. Why ask US? ne
have been repudiated; our acts condemned.
What we secured to Council Grove has been
well nigh lost to US by traitors in our midst
tools in the hands of our rivals
Alas for the ingratitude of republics.
We advise you, Sam, to moveaway. Come
down here where we have had the full ben
eft of your legislation, and live in a town
that stands by its friends; or if you persist
in living there, and desire return to the
Legislature, suggest some way in which we
can be of service in bringing about the de-
sired result, and if we get defeated in our
local interests at home, we shall know that
we have friend at Council Grove to whose
Industry and influence we are indebted for
much Of our good fortune.
