SO corrupt State Administration as the
present one.
There are several good men mentioned
for the Office of Governor. Among the
most prominent are Judge Stafford, W. ".
q. Lawrence, Gov. Crawford, and others.
But it is not necessary to oparticularize ev-
cry man has his choice-let that choice be
expressed, and the majority instruct their
delegate who to support. There is an OBJ
lection urged against instructions. on the
ground that the delegate is hampered and
cannot ac. frequently for the best, when the
Convention meets, but this is a false posi-
ton. The delegate is sent there not to Sc
lect and vote for the man he thinks is the
best, or the one who can bring the most
appliances to bear, for this is the bane Of
all political conventions, but he is there to
represent and vote for the man that the
people have previously declared to be their
choice and the delegate who cannot vote
thus, should resign and give the people a
chance to elect one who will correctly rep
resent them. If all the counties would act
on this principle, then We would have the
men put in nomination who are the choice
of the masses, instead of trickster politi-
clans. Above all, let us have a State ad-
ministration which will act in unison with
the Federal Government, and then will
Kansas have an influence that she has not
now. No longer let factious clique at
tempt to thwart the efforts of our Govern
ment to suppress and crush this wicked and
unholy rebellion.

liable to have the Spanish fever among our
cattle and second, We are accused of up
holding parties engaged in the trade; third,
we are liable to q Lawrence raid. Those
men who are losing this stock, whether they
be rebels or Union men, will never forget
nor forgive. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that they win some day have revenge.
A Union man is just as liable to have
his stock con6scated, if you call this con.
fsca:ion, as man that is not loyal !; and
whether be be rebel or not, it looks to
me that there is more proper way of con-
fcating.
And think, and so do nearly all of our
citizens. that for the safety Of OPT quiet
village and county, that those who specu.
late in cattle had better go some other di.
rection to get them. G. NJ. SIMcocK.

PLAYED OUT.

The Carney fraud party has nearly play
ed out. Every effort they have made has
only served, to sink them lower in the pit
The mana cement of the one hundred days
regiment is the crowring act of infamy and
degradation. Snubbed by the President,
treated with scorn and derision by his tools
such as Sherry and Wood--we would
suggest to the Governor the propriety of
hunting bis hole.
The article below, copied from the Ne
maha Courier, is but an individual mani.
festation of the feeling of the people all
over the State:
THE HUNDRED DAYS REGIMENT.
On last Friday nearly all of the men,
both volunteer and drafted, who had gone
from this portion of the I'd Brigade Dis.
trict to join the 18th Kansas To-day men,
arrived at their homes. The quota of
jackson (which also returned at the same
time) We understand was more than full,
and the number called for from Nemaha,
Marshal, Washington and Pottawattomie
counties was on hand, all of whom seemed
to have served as much time as they wished
in the H. d. Regiment. The Brown coun
ty men, all having been drafted, roturDed
before, or were discharged, We suppose, i'm
mediately on reaching the rendezvous at
Leavenworth. Doniphan's quota-ffty men
we learn from the Conservative of the
27:h ult., disbanded at Atchison, upon their
way down, principally upon account of their
having heard that Sam. Wood was ''slated"
for the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the regi-
ment. The men from here and the western
and Southern portions of the district, re-
turned upon the advice of General Sherry
and Mr.. Taylor, who, as We understand,
believed that the regiment was being run
and organized upon complete Carney
Leavenworth basis, and that the men, if
they remained, would not be allowed the
choice of selecting their own or company
officers, and it is but justice to say that all
the men with whom we conversed, were of
the same opinion. We have recently been
afraid that this was the programme and
limited as much last week.

LET US BE PREPARED.

The savage enemies on our frontier grow
bolder. No doubt can be felt that an exten.
sive Indian war has commenced on theplains.
All the nomadic tribes are implicated. We
hear from Nebraska that the Missouri Sioux
the butchers of Minnesota-have evaded
the movements of Gen. Sully, and in large
bodies descended like tropical hurricane
upon the Overland Route, numbering the
settlers, burning the stations and ranches,
and driving off the stock.
That all these tribes-Sioux, Cheyennes,
Camanches, Kiowas, Blackfeet, etc.-are
involved is very evident from the simulta-
neous and ubiquitous character of the attack
and massacres. One day large bands sweep
the Platte Route from the neighborhood of
the Little Blue, Washington county, Kansas,
to Fort Laramie on the extreme West of
Nebraska. The next, we learn that bands
of several hundred in extent sweep at once
upon the stock of the troops at Cimaron
Crossing, at Smoky Hill, and attack and
murder the gallant hunters on Beaver creek
each point of attack being many miles
apart. The vallies of Western Kansas swarm
with the red devils No small body of men
can pass over the country without being
attacked. A body large enough to deter
them sees nothing whatever of the savage
enemy.
1t is evident that these movements are
part of concerted plan. Everything tends
to show that rebel emissaries are at work.
We doubt not that that incarnation of as.
sassination- n-Quantrelle-ha been at work
among these too ready and inAamable in
struments.
1t behooves the citizens of Western Kan
sas to be prepared for every emergency.
There are but few troops in this District !;
but comparatively few in the Department
Gems. Curtis and Blunt are doing all in
their power we know; but the citizens
must be prepared. We are not so remote
from the already Bloody and Debateable
ground as to feel secure. Last week the
savages were further into Kansas than this
point. Next week who can say that they
may not strike as fatally to the south as
they've already done to the northward. We
must be prepared for any emergency.
Where are our State authorities? Gov.
Carney, instead Of being at his post, is
probably in Washington, settling the terms
of further Indian contracts with Mr. Dole,
the Commissioner. True, We do not believe
that the Governors presence would be of
much service, for he touches nothing he
does not heslime with corruption; but at
any rate he is needed at the Capital if only
to approve of such measures of defence as
Mai. Gen. Deitzler may concert with the
United States Commander.
But in the meanwhile, the people of
Western Kansas must be vigilant.

THE INDIAN WAR.

seven miles from Fort Larime, killed seven
oxen, mules and pony. On the 9th, two
men were killed at Hooks Station, ten
miles east Of Fort Kearney The same
day train was burned at Plum Creek,
thirty FIVE miles above Fort Kearney. G..
X. Otis writes from Denver, Colorado, un,
der date of Aug 9th, as follows:
"Send out no more mails at present.
Have all our stock brought in from the
West as far as Seneca or some other good
place. Lloyd reports stock run off from
Lone Tree and Liberty. Thirty Eve men
have been murdered between Thirty-two
mile creek and Cottonwood"
Lone Tree is AZ miles this side of Fort
Kearny, ,and Liberty Farm as miles. Thir-
ty-two mile creek is 35 miles this side Of
Fort Kearney, and Cottonwood is 100 miles
above Fort Kearny.

THE CoNTRABAND Stock QUESTION
This week we publish agreeably to request
the proceedings Of meeting held in Coun-
Gil Grove on the 9th inst. The meeting
was largely attended, and considerable in-
terest manifested. Several of the most
prominent and reliable citizens expressed
their sentiments warmly against Council
Grove being made rendezvous for stolen
stock. We also copy from the Council
Grove Press an article written by Mr.. G.
NJ. Simcock upon the same question.
There is regularly organized system in
the traffic, and if it is permitted to continue,
as surely as night follows day, so surely
will the lives Of our citizens and their
property have to pay for the robberies We
are thus tacitly participating in.

The CAREER OF A SPEcULAToR. - Some
years ago, says the Poughkeepsan, there was
a man ia Wall street, New York, stock
broker, who seemed as important man in
moneyed circles in those days as Nicholas
Biddle, the president of the United States
bank, was in Philadelphia. This was Jacob
Little. He was shrewd and skilful and far
seeing, and in his way, in "cornering" some
of his craft. was quite equal to "Pat Hearne,"
or any of the Park row or Ann street gam
bling fraternity. He often made mems for
tunes or ruined them in an hour at the stock
board. Little stood the shocks of the COM
bined board sometimes, both at "bull" and
shear, usually defeating or routing them. But
his day came at last. He was 'cornered." He
could not pay his differences. At the next
meeting OF the stock board Titles seat was
vacant. Everybody was amazed All won
dered. Finally he paid up and resumed his
seat. But his prestige was gone. The charm
was broken. Very soon he was crippled
again, and shortly became "lame duck" II
he is in Wall street,it is in some obscure apart
ment. He is no longer known as a million
aire, or even broker. Such is the bubble 'rep-
utation" got in Wall street, when unaccompa-
MED by intelligence or generosity or private
virtues.
