In Disgrace.

III AASI SssSCs
Col. Bowen, of the Kansas 18th, has
been dishonorsbly dismissed the service,
Better late than never; but it is strange
that this was deferred until his regiment
was mustered out, when his bad conduct
was notorious almost from the time he
entered the service. A better regiment oi
men than the 18th was never raised in
any State. They should have had the
privilege. which was promised them, oi
choosing their own officers; but Bowen
was foisted upon them. for doing dirty
political work. He was sent, with his
regiment, to the demoralizing Depart
ment Of the Frontier, to guard and pro-
tect the combination of thieves who were
plundering the Government. The only
wonder is, that the regiment came home
honest men; and they deserve an unusual
degree of credit for it. Bowers military
service consisted of amours with rebel
women in Arkansas, and Munchausen
exploits and hsir-breadth escapes among
the bushwhackers. as told by himself.
This creature is one of the set who
have been running the politics of our
State, since the commencement of the
war. By some hocus-pocus means. be
found his way into State Conventions.
and was sent as Delegate to the Balti-
more Convention. Although, upon such
occasions. the politics of the State were
sorely afflicted. yet bis temporary absence
from the army was grateful relief to
the service. In payment for his political
labors, and as reward for his incompe.
tency as q Colonel, be was breveted q
Brigadier General. 1t was written down
in the programme, that when be quit the
army, be was to become one of the fixed
stars in Kansas politics. to live at the
expense Of the dear people. and disgrace
the State in the position of Governor,
Congressman, or some other important
Office. But this has been nipped in the
bud by his disgraceful dismissal from the
service. We learn that through politi-
cal influences, be has been allowed his
pay. of which be had been deprived by
the order of dismissal; and that the same
influences are at work TO obtain rever-
sal of the entire order, that be may retire
apparently honorably. But the brave
men of Kansas, who have fought the
battles of their country. and have honor
able discharges, will not be 10 hurry to
confer political favors upon q man who
has been dishonorably dismissed the ser.
vice. even though the stain be partislly
removed through political influences.
This paper has never spoken a word in
favor of Col. Bowen, from the fact that
we despised the man at sight, and bis
subsequent conduct but strengthened our
unfavorable opinion Of him. For this
we have been sometimes censured /; but
we are at last most emphatically vindi-
Gated in our course, by the decree of the
War -Dishonorably dis

EQUAL RIGHTs.-Our people have vet tc
learn many lessons Of justice and freedom
before the full spirit Of slavery shall be
entirely laid. Here at the North we have
an immediate duty to perform. and that
is to remove the restrictions and disabili.
ties which our laws place upon the blacks
-Er.
There is force in the remark. The
laws restricting the right Of suffrage in the
case Of persons of color are disgrsca to
the North. They prove that the barbsr-
Gus spirit Of slavery, still finds foothold
in our midst. It is with an i'll grace
that we can ask our nsighbors of the
South to- confer the right of voting upon
blacks as long as we deny them that
right ourselves.-Al5ony Journal.
