G. D. Baker. Esq. Deputy Assessor,

from each persons income. . tax Of 5
per cent. is levied upon the overplus. mp

the tax is 10 per cent. There is but one

The FIRST EssENTIAL.-In the work
of reconstructing the rebel States, there
is one preliminary step to be taken. with.
out which. an enlightened Union senti-
ment cannot prevail. 1t is essential that
the rebels be civilized to commence with.
That once accomplished, they may after.
wards be gradually Christianized and
educated. The process of civilization
will be most difficult. But if they can
once be elevated to the standard of ordi-
nary Csnnibals. there is hope. The 6rst
step, then. should be to advance them to the
degree of cannibalism. To this end, they
should be set apart to themselves, and
fed upon missionaries. We would sug-
gest that our Government preserve al
persons convicted of capital crimes, and
engage all of the same material from
foreign Governments, and then agree to
pardon them. upon the condition that
they labor for given number of years
as missionaries among the Southern reb-
els. By the time the criminals are thus
sent of and eaten up, for the period Of
twenty-five years, we think the rebels will
be elevated from their present condition
to that of 6rst-class cannibals. Once get
them up to this point, and the process Of
civilization will be comparatively easy.

A REMEDY.-There is at present very
bad feeling existing between parties in
this community. which We are confident
is being kept alive and aggravated BY .
set of persons acting in the character Of
intermeddlers. and go-betweens, who have
q grudgs against certain individuals. but
not having courage equal to their ami
mostly. are doing all in their power to
use other men as instruments to crafty
their spite. These go-betweens are ready
at all times to retail gossip and unguard-
cd remarks, to embellish and mainly
what they hear, and to manufacture ma
terisl to order. The persons who are be-
ing operated upon by these meddlers
ought to be able to see the drift the thing
is taking. and to stop it. They can do
it in very short order. Whenever one Of
these mischief.makers comes to them
with his scandal, let them make
about three successful and forcible sppli-
tions of sole-leather about the region OF
his coat.tsil, and we will warrant they
cannot hear Of half so many hard things
being said about them afterwards.

THOMAS Ewlvo.-This gentleman is
just now being roughly handled BY the
Kansas press, and ws hardly think be
will ever aspire to position here again.
unless the politics Of the State change.
His characteristics are. grasping cupidity
and utter sel6sbness. It Is not st all
surprising that he should undertake to
defend the mordsrers Of the President, if
he could see big pile Of money in it.
he is true to nobody but Ewing. We
find him. in the frst Senatorial election
in Kansas. united with Gov. Robinson,
to defeat Gen. Lsns. A year later, he
united with Lane to impeach Robinson,
and shape the State ticket Of 1862. for
which be was appointed Colonel Of .
regiment. Next We find him against
Lane. He did . dirty trick in the fax.
at the last election. 1t was agreed among
sll opponents of Lane. to work to the
single end of defeating that person. throw.
ing all rivalries aside. and in the Legis-
lsture every candidate should withdraw
iu favor Of the one commanding the most
positive votes. Ewing went into the
agreement, but at once set about fixing
up things to give himself the most posi-
tive votes. He furloughed his staff, and
favorites from bis pet regiments. and de-
tailed them throughout Kansas, to run
for the Legislature. Where they could
receive . nomination or endorsement. all
well and good where they could not.
they took the field as independents.
The result vas, in nearly every district
of the kind, Lane men were chosen. In
the Legislature. at the last hour. every
man who had been pledged to Ewing
voted for Lane. and Ewing. doubtless.
pocketed the profits. He saw that he
had had his day in Kansas, and while
the times were flush he determined to
close out st big figure. That's Ewing's
style. Had Lane been defeated, Ewing
would have been Senator for men who
naturally despised the latter. had agreed
to swallow him, in order to effect the de.
sired change, knowing that be would
speedily plsy himself out, and make room
for better man. Under the circumstan.
ces. It was fortunate thing that Lane was
successful.

SourH CARoLINA.-A correspondent OF
the Tribune. writing from Orangeburg.
s. c.. says:
The hopeless apathy Of the poor whites.
which is described by officers and refu-
gees as something appalling. renders
It necessary for the planters to do the best
they can with the blacks; but there are large
numbers who evidently intend to do as the
Jamaica planters did-swindle ths freed
slaves under any and every pretext. Their
conversation shows it. Unless all South
Caroline 10 garrisoned by anti slavery
troops, this State will either become .
desert BY the desertion Of the lsborers, or
pass into other hands. 1t is very desir.
able for the good Of all parties that it
should change owners-for the planter
that he may learn to work for his own
living; for the black that he may become
an honest laborer, which under the
present capitalists be has no inducements
to become; for the poor white that be
may have and see an opportunity to rise
in the social scale. No man in the North
who has not lived among these planters
can understand what q brutal and vi.
cious class of persons they are. The New
York Five Points could turn out at ran
dom q more intellectual and as moral
looking delegation any day a. l have
seen here 10 conference with General
Hsrtwell.

A COOP THINa.-A large number Of
through boats, from st. Louis, have been
running in the trade between that city
and the Upper Missouri, during the pres
ent season. They are large. first. class
boats. and one passes up or down almost
daily. all we'll laden. This is "a good
thing for business men along the river.
and they ought to patronize the through
boats. While the guerrillas prevented
the navigation Of the Lower Missouri,
the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad
Packets monopolized the trade above St.
Joseph. and did pretty much as they
pleased and. ss usual with monopolies,
permitted their independence to run into
meanness. They charged such rates as
they chose. and carried freight to suit
themselves. There were constant com.
plants Of freight being detained below
and as for shipping produce from above.
it was frequently impossible to hire OF
coax the boats to stop and take it on.
We have heard of nothing of the kind
this year. Freigbts are promptly taken
above and below. and no delays expe-
rienced-the business public is accommo.
dated. And we observe that the Railroad
packets are unusually accommodating.
They delay nothing, and can always stop
to take on little freight. There is moth
ing like opposition to make men obliging.
The St. Louis line of boats is entitled to
the credit for bringing about this reform.

JOIN MlTcHEL.-This contemplate
dirty hound is in limbo again. He is Z
man destitute of honor. He engaged il
rebellion in Ireland, for which be wal
transported to q British penal colony
There he was allowed certain liberties
upon giving his parole Of honor that h'
would not attempt to escape. He viola
ted his parole, and escaped to America
Here be took an oath to support ou'
Constitution and laws, and became an
advocate of q slaveholding aristocracy,
He violated bis oath of allegiance, by
entering fully into the rebellion, and be.
came editor of q leading rebel paper.
noted for it's low, brutal abase of the
North. He took 3 peculiar delight in
abusing Union prisoners. and seeing
thsm tortured, and none more so than
his own countrymen. Upon the defea,
of the South, he said he accepted the de-
feat. and was willing to abide by the re-
suit. He became editor of the New York
News, and devoted bis time to abusing
the Government, and advocating the
cause of JEFF. Davis, whom he could moi
find language sufficient to eulogize. HI
is now under arrest for treason but We
presume be will be regarded as too con
temptible and cowardly to hang. Th'
British have been intercsding for the par
don Of notorious rebels. and have pur'
chased residences in England for severa
of them. How would they like to have
John Mitchell psrdoned and sent to thei'
bosoms. and furnish him q good house in
which to live in style?

WHITE CLOUD, KANSAS:
thursday, So: July Is, 1855

MELANCHOLY OccURRENcE.-An affair
took place in town. on Friday last. in
which . man lost his life through spe-
cies of foolishness and csrelessness that is
fsr too common. jacob Winget en-.
tered Pierce's psint-shop. where be met
j. A. Pickett; and being in froliesome
mood, endeavored to seize Pickstt's cane.
Being foiled in this. be next grabbed at
Pickett's revolver. and was about draw
ing it from its scabbsrd, when Pickett
seized hold of it to prevent him. In the
contest, both parties having hold Of the
revolver. the weapon was discharged. the
ball q very large one) passing through
Wingst's body-eutering little in front
Of the right side, ranging slightly up
ward, and passing out near the left side.
The ball then went through door stand
ing sjar. pine latb, and nearly through
the cottonwood siding of the house.
Winget lived about an hour and hall
after being shot. From tho manner in
which the ball entered bis body. and the
course it took, it must have injured the
liver. the stomach, the left lung. and
barely missed the lower part of the heart
Winget was . good.natured. ino1ensive
man. but generally inclined to be frolic'
some. and to seize upon those with whom
he WAS ON friendly terms, for scuffie.
1t is useless to suppose that this occur
renee will be caution against foolishly
and carelessly tampering with firearms
We almost daily hear of deaths or seri
ous accidents from this cause. yet they de-
not serve ss . warning to Others. Fur
tbermore, the practice Of lugging around
revolvers should be discountensnced
There is now no occasion for it 10 towr
like ours. No mans life is in danger
unless be do something to render it so
and as long IS his business calls hin
about the streets only, bis weapons should
be laid aside. Almost any hour person:
can be seen-men and boys, white and
blsck-going about the streets with re-
volvers swung to them, either to show
of, or to draw out and flourish upon any
slight provocstion. It should be pro-
hibitsd BY law, and offenders severely
punished.

~ 1t is now reported that JEFF Davis
and @. @. Clay are to be tried BY Mill
tary Court. We hope it is true. Mill
tsry Courts have very little respect foI

Of the Middle Ages. whereby villains srs
let loose; and they generally manage to
obtain testimony to hang traitor murder.

DExocRArc TAcrIcs.-Ths Democ-
rscy are actively but silently preparing
for thorough reorganization. in order
to gain control of the Government once
more. They will endesvor. as far as
possible, to win President Johnson's Ad-
ministration over to their purposes fail
ing in which. they will make bold push
to elect . President of their own. In
this work. they will be aided BY Office
holders who have wormed themselves in
to important positions. and by men who
have. for the better accomplishment Of
their ends. been acting with the Union
party. Even in Kansas, as the last Pres-
identisl election demonstrated, there is .
rank Democratic element lying in the
shade. ready to go to work whenever op.
portunity offers. Symptoms of it are
showing themselves daily. They have
now no newspaper organs here. because
at the present time it would be On up.
hill business to attempt to establish them.
But they are pursuing Q moro effective
plan. Here and there we find men who
were but recently bitter Democrats, buy
ing out long-established Republican pa
pers. with the professed design of con-
tinuiug them as Radical organs. But
watch them, and see if they do not, at
the proper time. display their hidden
colors. throw their influence in favor Of
the Democratic party, and endeavor to
sway in the same direction the patrons
they have secured under false pretenees.
There are in the State two papers of this
class already. There are at least two
more that will raise the Democratic flag
just as soon as the party re.organizes.
There is Democratic press lying idle,
which will commence running Is soon as
is it wanted /; and we have our eye on q
prominent paper which will be purchased
by the Democratic party outright, and
made a leading organ, by the time the
FIRST campaign fairly opens. We are in
nowise frightened at the prospect, for we
do not believe the Democracy can ever
gain control of the State of Kansas; but
we think we see some of the shadows
that coming events are casting before.

A LITTLE MORE OF THE SANE SoRT.-
Another evidence of JEFF Davis pleasant
methods of conducting a war appeared
yesterday in the course of the conspiracy
trials at Washington. Que Frazer. Of
St. Louis, testified that he had an inter.
view with Davis in Richmond Q year
ago. and that the subject of conversation
was the burning of steamboats,, bridges.
hospitals, or anything else that could be
conveniently destroyed. Davis was not
particular whether tha torch was applied
in Illinois or anywhere else. So long
as yellow fever plots. raids. massscres on
railroads and stesmb boats. assassinations.
arson and other deeds could be accom-.
plished, be was quite indifferent as to the
results.
Yet there are men at the North who
claim that this man should not be
punished; that his crimes were merely
mistakes. and that lenity should be tn g
reward for his malignity. The evidence
against Divis is cumulative. His mean
spirited revenge has found petty means
to display itself. and the failure Of bis
reasonable schemes seems to have stimu-
lated him to successive deeds Of infamy.
each more strocious than the other.-N.

SIGNS THAT FAIL.-It is said that no
signs will do to bet on in Kansas. either
in dry weather or wet. In looking about
town. we are constrained to believe it.
We see flaming sign, "Squatter Store
Wholesale and Retail" but find the
building occupied as boardidg house.
There is sign, "Law Office" but not
lawyer in town. Another informs the
public that there is the {" White Cloud
HOTEL" but the travelling public
would apply for entertainment in
vain. A sign that covers the side
Of house. proclaims that the
building is occupied by Steamboat
Agents :" but apply to the occupants,
and they will deny the soft impeachment.
Go to the sign Of "Great Variety Store"
and you discover the variety consists Of
emptiness. If you visit the sign of
"Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Wines
and Liquors" you had better take your
liquors along with you. or you may fail
to get even smell. Finally. we observe
q sign "Kansas Chief Printing Office ;"
but to the best of our knowledge and be-
lief. the Kansas Chief don't stay there.
Noral.-Have your signs painted on
sign boards, and not on the side of the
house. unless you have positive and un-
doubted assurance that you are to live
forever. always follow the same business.
and carry on in the same building.

Some OF THE OBJECTIONS In the dis
cussion Of the negro suffrage question. we
NEE. with some rare arguments and one
of the rsrest. We find in Q paper here in
Kansas. 1t is this: that the negro. hav-
ing been just admitted to freedom, should
not be allowed to vote until he is educs.
ted. and gains some conception Of the
duties and responsibilities of citizenship;
and our brave soldiers, who have been
breasting the storm of battle, will not
consent that the masses of ignorant blacks
whom they have just rescued from bond.
age, shall take the ballot, and have an
equal voice with them in controlling the
Government. As to the 6rst objection,
it is an undisputed fact that the negro
slaves OF the South have fully as much
education, and three times as much com.
mon sense. intellect. capacity, and kuowl.
edge Of public affairs. as two-thirds o'
those persons in the South known as
"poor whites;" yet nobody proposes to
prevent the latter from voting. As to
the feeling of the soldiers, we suppose
they have their prejudices. the same as
other people but we venture to say that
nine soldiers ont Of ten, were the question
fairly put to them, would say that they
would rather 60 to the polls by the side
of the negroes whom they have rescued
from bondage, and who. through all cir.
cumstances, showed themselves to be
friends of the Union. than to see their
votes neutralized by the rebels who bad
been numbering. starving. and bush.
whacking them for four years. and from
whose bondage they were compelled to
rescue the negroes. in order to save the life
of the nation.
