WOODS LOCAL LEGISLATION.

For the past two months, since the ad-
journment of the Legislature, the people Of
Council Grove, Morris county, have been
RECALLED by numerous speeches and articles
from their Immaculate Representative, on
the material benefits flowing to Council
Grove from his Jealous and persistent abuse
of Lane and his conspicuous industry in
bringing about the election of Carney as
Lanes successor. His people were rather
disposed to doubt, at first, the policy Of
arraying themselves against man who was
Senator in fact, for one who could under no
possible circumstances be of any service to
them for at least year but Sam" based
all his zeal on purely disinterested motive
"a desire to serve the material interests of
Morris county and Council Grove-and he
pictured his exploits in the Legislature, as
the result of his course, in glowing colors,
until they began to believe up on the ridge
that they were to be the grand radating
center for all railroads and mail routes in
Southern Kansas. He kept standing no.
tice in his paper of his achievements as a
legislator, which are well worth noticing for
the large amount of legislation and extreme
ly small amount of benefit. Here are his
items-benefts to Council Grove:
Ist. 1.-The certainty OF railroad from
Topeka TO Council Grove"
The only road on which Council Grove
is mentioned is in an amendment lately Of
fered by Senator Lane, continuing the Ne
osho Valley Road to Fort Riley, where
Council Grove is mentioned as a way sta
ton. The Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
Company, if they ever build their road. will
build it where it can be run to the most ad
vantage 10 themselves, and are quite as
likely to follow valleys as ridges.
ed. morris County has got the two mile
strip, in contest so long"
Two miles of the Kaw Reservation, with
the consent of the delegation from this cOun-
ty with one exception), and no active op-
position from any quarter.
Sd. provision for q Graded School
which at little expense We can make equal
TO the Agricultural College, or Normal
School,"
Passed by almost unanimous consent,
on the ground of the striking necessity of
such an institution.
4th. Authority to issue bonds to build
a Jail IN Morris county"
The sa me authority as that granted to
Lyon county, or any other county that asked
il.
9th. ga resolution Of the Legislature re-
commencing Council Grove as the starting
point of the Great Santa Fe Mail"
The way the Legislature had of amusing
themselves, passing on an average six day
9th. ''Another resolution, recommend
ing daily mail from Council Grove to
Santa Fe."
Another freak of that same heavy Leg
islature, resolving themselves into lobby
Of U. s. mail agents.
7th. ''Another resolution. recommending
daily mail from Topeka to Council Grove"
Refused. on the ground that tri-week-
ly mail will not pay Ons-third the expense
of carrying it. See letter of Department to
Wilder
9Th. Another resolution, recommend
ing daily mail from Kansas City to Goun-
Gil Grove

 We commend the following to the thought fu consideration of all classes-iED.
 MR. HUMPHREY :- A late writer from the Mississippi says :--
 '' believe John A. Logan is tho exponent the representative man-of this army His creed consists of u single idea--to support the admin stra1on. Nothing more. Give all your energies, time, talents, property and in huence 10 the support the measures adopted Ly the government. You cannot change them There is no time to discuss them. We must fght--nct talk. Let the next Presidency take care of itself. It is our business to support and encourage the pres mt administration. Its members standing at the head sources ot infor nation must necessarily be better judges what to do than We are. By energetic aud impli.i obedience We may accomplish much ; by luke warmness. and discussion and temporizin. nothing.

He shows, how ever that this fact arises from the use of worth. fss varieties, or unskiIful preparations bv in- competent men that the true Medic Sar- saparilla (Sarza Smilax off) of the tronics. when freshly gathered in the bud is one of the most etf1ctual alternatives we possess Com. bined wlth other substances of great alterstive power, like Iodine, Slillinga Dock. &c.,. it makes Ayers Comp.

p@-The Bridgeport Standard has at nre..

bS-The Bridgeport Standard has at pres ent sort of second edition of the '" Travelling Jesuit" a resident of this town, who is wan. dering about in the western towns of the coun. ty soliciting subscriptions for the aforesaid Standard. So long as he has stuck to this le2iti s,ate and honest business we have had nc occasion 10 find fault. The Standurd is very respectable newspaper, aud has the right, un doubtedy,to employ whomsoever it chooses to increase its subscription list but when this Travelling Jesuit No. goes about among our subscribers in Washington and elsewher. os We learn from the most respectable sources he does. urging them to drop the ENorIRER and replace It with the Sandard, which is to con. tain all the local news of this county and q great deal besides, We feel called upon to say, very moderately, that We deem the Jesuit is gong somewhat out of his legitimate line of 'us'nsss, and that his humble endeavora ap- pear 10 partake n little more of personal ,nal evoience, or the spirit and desires of his Mas. ters than there is any urgent necessity of ex- hibiting,
 We have no desire whatever to force the ENQUIRER upon an unwilling community. Its successful career in the past and at present is sufficient evidence that it is appreciated even beyond it's merits. in Litcb6eld County. We employ ro jesuitical agents, or agents of any stripe, to enlarge its crcu!ation.-content to let it speak for itself and maintain its position in the county and state. We have no f,vors to ask or receive Of anybody. beyond the good will Of our patrons. and the ESoU1RER had nev- sr 90 large subscription list as it h,s to. day, ard 1t IS every week enl.reing.
 Did we not, therefore, detect in this move. ment something more than a mere eenerou. newspaper rivalry. we should have nothing to Say. And We only give the Standard and it's agent TOW, the benefit ofthis gratutous notice, hoping that hereafter We shall have more distinct mutual understanding-as we certainly shaH hore on our part-of what is meant by il contemptible and ptiable effort to steal sub scriptions on false pro'ences and by hired agents.
 In this connection we must stato single instance of the success of the agent in New Preston. He did succeed in inducing two very seda'o and pious persons, who have been feeling sore over the result of libel sui, tried in our court last fall. to withdraw their distinguished patronage from the ENQUIRER anu substitute the Standard in it's stead. We were still laboring under this terrible nljsfortun. when we received the subscription price Of rile ENQUIRER from m old acquaintanc. of theirs who has already been compelled to advance the sum of sir cents in aid of their character and necessities, with request to forward to their address d copy of our paper for one year, con- mencIng with the present number which we hereby do hoping it's perusal may be sancttied to their temporal a"d spiritual good.

The Campaign.


 Subsequently, among tho Union ranks with regard to the election which is to take place within less than month. We have no hesitaHcy in saying so because we desire, if possible, to arouse tue attention of our vo4ers to the importance of the election, and the criminal negligence of giving it the go bye. Our opponents are aroused and are making a thorough canvass. They have selected their most available man as their leading candidate, and have covered up the hideous figure they made last year, with Q cloak, transparent enough, but still calculated to deceive the uu. suspicious.
 The contest is to bc fought on principles We are to decide in Connecticut whether ws shail still cling te our Country and our Coun tryS Flag, or whether we shall go wandering after strange gods, whether labeled Secession, Peace Democracy, Conditional Union, or all together. The issue is as clear and plain as it was last year. It is made doubIy plain by the unguarded rent which the management of the opposition left unpatched in their new garb, through which the horns and hoofs of the old enemy of last year rrotrude. (We refer te the 6rst rsselution of the Copperhead Conven. ten in which the platform of last year is " sol smnly reafirmed." What that platform was. our readers may refresh their memories by turning to the article on the first page of this paper. in which the rssol utions are given at lensth.) The issue of Unconditional Union and Vigorous Prosecution of thsWar for the Union versus Peace at any price and Ignomin ieus Surrender being thus once more placed before the people. t becomes them to see to it that not . vote bs lost iu favor of the just esase.
 Fhers is smother reason also vhy we should be diligent and active. We have to elect this year legislature two.thirds of which shall be In favsr of allowing our soldiers in the field the privilege of ootiag. The democratic party have planted themselves fairly and squarsly in opposition ts this righteous measure. At the last session of the legislature they ,suanin'o~s' ly voted against the proposition allowing the soldiers this privilsge. The proposed amend mont to the Constitution was passed however by the votes of Union men, and now i, is our iaty to return sufficient number of Uuionists to the legislature who shall ratify the amend uent by two thirds vote of that body, in or der that it may bs submitted ta the people Tor their aHAl decision.
 Fer these reasons, then, we should be active cad visilant. As our State gees this spring SC will it be found ia the National campaign next November. Let us answer back to the notei of victory that come sounding to us from the Grssits Hills, and keep step to the music aue follow the asg of our glorious old Republic!
