MoRros.-A member Of the late kans.
ss House. thinks We rather cast an unfair
reflection upon Morton. Clerk OF the
House. in an article which we copied
from the Lawrence Journal. to which
we added our endorsement. We own
up, on q second reading OF the extract
tnat il does look little that way. But
We had only glanced over it hastily. with
ont noticing its e1ac. wording. and cop
led it merely for the perposs OF adding our
testimony in reference to Banks WIN
whom. by ourrecent association. we were
filled with renewed admiration. Wenou
saw. that there is no discount on Marion
as a Clerk; and as far as that qualiflca.
tion is concerned, Banks is the only mar
whom we would presume to mention il
comparison with him. The members o
the House are right in sticking up TO
their Clerk, and all future Houses woult
do we'll to make q note Of it. No. sir
we didn't mean to endorse any disparage
meut of Morton. In fact, We may say
we're "on" him.

Scarce of Timber.

From the Leavenworth papers, we
learn that Col. G. r. Jsnnison is serious
ly intent upon running for Mayor OF the
city. and tnst be has some strength in the
way of supporters. We have often been
surprised that city possessing the men
of talent and character that Lesvenworth
does. should make the choice she does OF
Representatives. Jeunison undoubtedly
possesses large inHuence smong GER
tain class. which makes it an object to
secure his support for party; but bis
character is notorious, and his influence
demoralizing. He was sent as Lsav-
enworth Representative to the Legislature
where be amounted to nothing. We do
not believe he got q single measure
through, nor even aided in so doing. His
forte was to make q burlesque of every
thing; and in opposing any measure. be
sought to defeat it by creating confusion
and decentralization. He never gave an
argument or reason for his action but
went of at random, with "hurrab, boys!'
or "coms on, fellers T. His character. we
have said, is notorious; and be has got &C
low down. that he boasts Of his past act'
and present occup alton, without shame
With him as Mayor. what the govern
ment of the city would amount to, at tn
end of his term. is easy to conjecture.
1t may be thought that such maj
stands no chance Of being elected Mayor
But what has been. may be. He has ono
been elected to high Office. and doubt
less would receive the same support again
We have an example Of veteran editor
who boasts himself as being an Aboli
zionist of thirty years. standing. yet ha
hired ont his pen to defend Pro-Slsver.
