City Election.

Next Mon:ay is the time fixed by law
for our city election. Various petty rea.
son have conspired to prevent the meeting
of the old board of CounciImen during
the past year. Perhaps tt is best not to
revert to those reasons, but all know
them. In consequence of our not having
city organization in active operation our
city has suffered many inconveniences.
We need not rei,erate the grievances that
grow out of not having city authority.
We are ashamed to do so. We can only
advise and insist upon our citizens taking
great pains to elect officers whose business
will not cofict with the interests of The
city and thereby make itan object TO have
the council to fall still born to the ground.

Overland telegraph and Express
Company.
Hon. Benz. F. Hall, Chief Justice Of
Colorado. writes from Auburn, New York,
to the Denver Commsonsoeath
"a project to construct a new line of
telegraph across the continent from Leav.
enworth, is on the anvil, hammering into
form in New York. Also, new Express
Company is talked Of. 1t seems to me,
therefore, that Colorado is sparned with .
radiant bow ofpromise.
Citizens of Marysville, read, think and
act. If an Express aud Telegraph Line
are to be established between LeaFen.
worth City and Denver, our citizens should
lake steps to secure their passage through
this place. There is no doubt but that an
expressand passenger line betweentheabove
named points would be paying enterprise
and one tha, likely will be engaged in ear
ly in the Spring. Marysville is upon the
most direct line between those places and
located upon the great Military road, the
best thoroughfare in Kansas. No one pre-.
tends to travel any other rou!e, yet it is
likely inducements will be held out to the
company who may engage in this enter.
prise to induce them to travel some other
road. Will our people act? Shall we take
some steps to secure telegraph and expires
communication with the east and the
west?

TIE ScuoFIELD MATrER.-After LONG
and painful suspense to the people of Kan.
sas and Missouri-snd in fact the masses
of the Republic-the Schoield affair has
been settled, and satisfactorily, too, we
think; and in the settlement a general
change round has been made. Kansas has
been made q separate department, with
Gen. Curtis for commander. Rosecrans
will command Missouri; making St. Louis
his headquarters. Schofeld will go to Bal
timore.
At last we are from under the weak va
cilating and treacherous rule of Shot eld.
Let all loyal men rejoice. A different or.
der of things will hereafter exist both in
Kansas and Missouri Conservative.

The great fight between Heenan and King
an English bully, $4,000 side. came of
on the 10Th of December. They fought
twenty FIVE rounds, occupying 81 minutes.
Tom Sayer was one ofHssnan>s seconds.
Hesnan threw King eight times with great
violence and knocked him down once.
Hecnan was not knocked down but received
a terrible pummelling and get whipped,
and will now likely come home and behave
himself.

The Old Years Death.

Eighteen Hundred and Sixty. Three died
a vigorous death. On Decembur 3lst, as
if to enter stunning protest against old
Time. who had said "this day shalt thou
die," it marsballed its polar forces and in
the bosom of its wrath shook the world
from center to circumference in the tAroes
of its dying agony. The sun terror strick-
and appalled, at the dying convul,ions of
the companion of its three hundred and
si1ty-fve revolutions, clothed in mourning
veiled herself in darkness. The moon and
stars declined to appear upon the mournful
occasion, and the storm angel rode at a
hurricane pace DER the length and the
breadth of the land. As the hour drew
nigh, the world was covered with gloom /;
all nature grew cold in its deathly embrace !;
the rivers froze to their .cen,ers and Law
silent in their beds; huge monarchs of the
forest that had wlthstood tho shock of cen.
,uries, moaned for an hour aud we're cast
PROSTATE upon the bosom of their mother
by the frigid arm and icicIe grasp of the
dying year. The cattle ofa thousand hills,
the engines Of commerce, of peace, of war
and puny man chilled into silence and awed
into respect nestled trembling among the
garments of mother earth and breath!essly
awaited the expiring hour and chilling
agony of the old years death. The angel
of time, with one foot upon the land and one
upon the sea, bis finger raised to tho dial
plate Of the universe, slowly moved tho
minute hand to the point that marked the
last pulsatiou of the old years life. While
boreas sings its requiem, it now lies dead
and cold, cold, cold
