and such renegades from the Uuion ranks
as old Johnson, of Tennessee. We wish
the Republican may always have an
abundant amount of ''postage currency"
in It's treasury.
We see that some of our exchanges In
Northern Kansas don't like the position
we take in regard to securing one of the
next United States Senators from the Ne
OSLO Valley, and talk eloquently about
men for that position who will have at
heart the interests of the qVEoLe State. Of
course they don't like to contemplate the
prospect of dividing with US the power
of the State in the National capital. 1t
sounds very lofty and very wise TO talk
about men who represent the whole State;
but the truth is we seldom have had such
men in either branch of Congress, and
we don't expect to have very soon. Il
is just as natural for a man to go for tn g
interest of his own locality, even to the
detriment of others, as it is to try to put
money in. his pocket. We say the truth,
when we say that the votes of Southern
Kansas gave the two Senators from this
State their positions. Other men might
and would have been elected by the North,
because Lsayeuworth and other strong
northern interests did not want either o!
them. What is the result? Northern
Kansas-about one third of the State.

Some one has sent us copy of "The
Peninsular Courier and Family Visitant, -
printed at Ann. Arbor, Mich. If this
paper is true representative of the char
acter of the town, it must be 'Fginger-
bready'' dingy looking place, which does
not accord with the opinion we had form
ed of AnuArbor. This paper-the head
being to long to repeats an eight page
concern, the first one being nearly taken
up with picturesque head that resem-
bles in general appearance the back of a
regular blood and thunder ''yalier kiver-
ell'' Ned Bantline affair. The head has
two fancy lines running the entire width
of the page, interspersed with maps of
the northern lakes, Michigan, Wisconsin.
Canada, several buildings, which We sup
pose to be those of the State q University,
and in the back ground a view of frog
town, pumpkinvilles or some other sea
port. The head is 3 true index to the
paper. 1t is ''gin ger bread'' clear through.
We had expected better things from Ann
Arbor. May the fates deliver US from
newspapers with ''piotur heads" We
never saw. one that amounted to much.
If We were in the 'tramping jour" bust
ness we should hate 70 tell that We learn :

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR." rencontre oc-
Cured yesterday in the Post Office between
Mr.. Erskine.Helm and Pembroke Garland,
which resulted in the wounding of both OF
them dangerously. Mr.. Helm was shot
through the breast with a derringer, and
Mr.. Garland was shot twice through the
body with revolver.
This is, indeed, very sad affair as both
parties are excellent young men, not
twenty-one years of age. and hitherto had
been friends The difficulty, we learn
grew out of misunderstanding.

NEW YoRK, Aug. 25.-Seven cases and
two deaths by cholera, are reported to-
day in this city, and eight cases and
two deaths in Brooklyn. The cool
weather is rapidly erasing the pesti-
lence from this vicinity.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 25.-The number
of deaths from cholera reported yester-
tay, was IS.
MEdPH1s, Aug. 24.-FIve cases Of
cholera reported to-day; l fatal.
81, LOUIS, Aug. 26.-The official NOR
tally report from seventeen cemeteries,
for the week ending on Friday, gives a
total of 1 ,156 interments, 91S of which
were from cholera, four cemeteries
having failed to report, as the returns
from the city cemetery include only the
deaths in the city hospitals. It is esti-
mated that about 300 deaths from
cholera actually occurred during the
week. No report was received for Sat
urday. The Sanitary Commission re-
port that the cholera has ceased as an
epidemic in the Sd, 4th and 9Th wards,
but this is not confirmed by the med
tcal authorities.
