eomethfns Brewing.

The signs of the times indicate that
trouble is brewing in the political ele.
ments of Kansas. For seversl months
psst, we have heard rumors of big
quarrel between General Lsne and Sid
Clarke-in fact, one of Lanes best
friends at Lawrence states, in q public
letter. that such is the fact. Then we
hear vague intimstions Of RADICAL cbsnges
in the disposition of Federal patronage
in Kansas. The Topeka Record. in .
recent issue. also let's fall hint of rome
sort of political overhauling. In sd-
vocstiug the election of Secretary Law
renee to the Legislature, it states that in
the political reorganization which will
take place within the next three months
in Kansas, Lawrence will be found work
ing with the party that will control the
State. Lawrence. be it understood, is
under self.imposed oath always to vote
for Jim Lane. Then, there is something
significant in the special dispatches from
the city of Lawrence to the St. Louis
Democrat. They used to sound the
praises of Lane, but q recent ons states
that Lanes late speech takes his friends
by surprise. We do not know the author
of these dispatches. but from the strong
likeness to the matter contained in the
State Journal. We suspect that they are
gotten up in that Office. The journal is
understood to be the organ of Congress
man Clarke, in opposition to Lane. 1t
is generally supposed that Lane is at log
gerhesds with President johnson. in
which case be loses his hold on the Kan
sas patronage. and the poor prescribed
Ants will come up, and the dirt-eaters
60 down. 1t is prevalent impression
that Lane will array himself against the
President, and endeavor to carry Kansas
with him. If President johnson proves
true to the principles upon which be was
elected, Lane will be worstei in that bus
iness: but if johnson shows Q soft side
for rebels and Copperhssds. he may count
Kansas among the opposition. By wait
ing. we shall see.

was hanged at Washington. last Friday.
The charges upon which be was convict

had conspired with Jefferson Davis and
Q number of others whose names were
mentioned, to murder. stsrve, and other
wise cause the death of Union prisoners
at Andersonville. As the charges were
sustained. of course it was proven that
be did so conspire with Davis and others.
and they are as guilty as Wirz. Yet ru-

Iowa POINT PREcINor.-The County
Board. in csnvassing the vote. last Fri.
day. determined to reject the lows Point
poll book, on accoun: OF the loose and
illegal msnner in which the polls were
conducted throughout; but inasmuch ss
this procedure would have changed the
result only on Representative. Mr.. UT re-
fused to avail himself Of any such advsn-
tsgc. and on Saturday morning insisted
on the vote being counted. whereupon the
vote to reject was re-considered, and that
vote canvassed.
The mode of conducting elections in
Kansas is very simple. and it is high
time that the irregularities and illegalities
40 frequent in Kansas. were being done
away with. A few poll-books tbrowr
out might be salutary lesson to officers
of elections, however unjust to the legsI
voters Of such precincts.

DIvIprSa THE SPoILs.-We have heard
that quite nice little disposition was
made of the paying County Offices, to
take effect s0hen the Convention ticket scas
elected. A certain individual in Troy,
who has been slmoft constantly employ
ed By the County officers. and repaid
them by acting the spy. and using every
flaw and mistake against them. wss to be
the acting Treasurer, and receive . good
proportion of the perquisites another
was to be Deputy Sheriff. and have the
great bulk Of the business; still another
was to have the butt end Of the Clerk g
business end fees; and 60 on-"all in Q
family way" Unfortunately. the hard.
hearted people spoilt the arrangement.
Had that ticket been successful, such q
prescription as would have followed. the
world has never yet seen. Not . poor
uigger would have been permitted to saw
an armful of wood for the Court House.
without first making affidavit that be was
in favor of the Convention ticket. We
are not in favor Of prescription in such
small affairs, nor of retaliation. as gen.
eral thing but there is one duty which
several of the reelected officers owe to
themselves. There are Q number of per-
sons who have been constantly employed
in the public Offices. as assistants or dep
uties, at handsome wsges. and have been
earning a living in this way. They have
taken advantage of their positions to pick
out errors in the recorde, some Of which
they probably made themselves. and in
other ways abusing the confidence Of their
employers. for the benefit OF the msn who
were sssailing the character OF these very
officers, and using almost superhuman ef-
forts to defeat them. Such men do not
deserve employment at the hands Of these
officers. and ought not to receive it, even
if necessary help has to be secured from
abroad.

JEFF DAVIS To ps ExILED.

JEFF DAVIS To DE- ExILED
1t appears to have been 6ually decided
that JEFF. Davis will receive Toll snd
free pardon, and be fossisbsd PssspUt
to Europe on giving his parole pever to
return. The several plans Of trial have
fallen through. The Norfolk Court OF
Judge Underwood. was 6rss squelched on
the plea Of want Of jurisdiction. and the
fear to risk his trial before such a jury as
would necessarily have been taken from
that district, who would never have
agreed upon . verdict. A military COM
mission was next agreed upon. and evi.
dence was prepared to convict him OF
conspiracy in the assassination OF Presl-
dent Lincoln: but time rolled on. and fresh
testimony was prepared to add to the
weight already against him. Then the
President concluded to have no moro
military Court trials: and Chief Justice
Chase was sent for and consulted ss to
proposition to try him 10 Virgins. BY .
Circuit Court of the United States. over
which be was to preside. This MIR.
Chase took time to consider. and has
finally declined to have anything to do
with it, giving as reason that there is
no organisation of bis>C Court in Virgins.
and. If there was. any trial by jury would
be farce. The President decided that
he should not be tried anywhere else. and
overruled the plan to try him in Bslti-
more or Washington. because he { Davis
committed his crimes in Virginia. Thus
the matter stands o-day. 1t is said that.
in addition to the united appeal Of the
rebel leaders iu the South to let him go.
Horace Greeley. Henry Warl Beacher.
and others have visited the President and
begged for the life and pardon OF ''the
eminent sonthern Statesman. they claim.
iug to speak for the Republican party en-
masse, and denouncing those who asked
otherwise as entitled to no consider alton;
and the South and the Democracy being
always in favor of free psrols. their ad-
vice ia being taken. No man is to be
punished for treason. Davis goes to
Europe for the present. to be made hero
and q martyr. until such . time a. the
United States Democracy. having gained
possession of the Government, shall cal
him from his exile 10 Gil a position in
accordance with his ambitious Desires
The declaration that treason is . crime
and should be esteemed a. such. and pun'
isbed as such. is not likely to be realized
as there is no way to try traitors. and tht
people do not want any one punished.

there have been like results in some of the
