al Secretary Seward is probably the
n,;ms mover in this. His alscrity in
complying With the demands OF Eng

The above Circumstances bringsto mini

For the cure of Phthisic. Epiieptic Fit'

DARING HloHwAY RoBBERY.-On last
Friday afternoon. between four and i've
o'clock. Sheriff K aucber. Of Holt Coun-
ty. A. N. Ruley. Circuit Clerk for the
same County. and A. NJ. Swan. . law
yer of Oregon. were riding Ieisurely along
in buggy. on the State Road between
Savannah and Oregon. on their return
from ST. Joseph. When ,sbout three-
fourths Of mile on this side Of Nodswsy
Ferry. three men in disguifs euddeniy
stepped out Of the brush. presented re-
volvers. and dem snded their money and
valuables. The party. being unarmed'
could do no better than comply with the
demand. The thieves made 9 hssty
search Of the party. taking their money
watches. and some other articles. and
then allowed them to proceed. sherld
Kaucher's loss. in; money and gold
watch, was little over two hundred dol
lars; Ruley's loss, over one hundred dol
lars and Swan's, seven or eight dollars
We learn that the robbers also took the
boots eff of the feet Of two Of the party
and slapped the jaws Of the third becaus'
he wore shoes only So it will be per
ceired that they were facetious cusses.
No clue has been obtained to the per
petraioss Of this affair. But that part o
the country is overrun with robbers, an
J a thorough cleaning out would be bene6
cial to the community. Many are Of th
opinion that these villains ere returne'
rebels. This may be so; and then
: again, it may not be. However. as thes
; last victims were at the time on their re
turn from the Radical meeting at St. 10
: sepb. it is not unlikely that they wer
. bushwhscked by delegates to the Blai

Radical grounds.
So far. good. Bot. every thing con-
sidered. this looks like farce. got mp to
order. Since the 22i Of February. the
issue between the President and the Re
publicss party has been SO broad aud
clearly defined. and the feeling go warm.
that it was altogether impossible for any
.man who cared anything at s,l about it.
to avoid taking decided stand On one
side or the other. The people asked how
their Governor stood, but no one knew
even bis most intimate friends. who wish
cd to place him in the most advantageous
light, could only guess at it, or 60 his bail
on suspicion. BIT it was determined by
certain party, or set. that Crswford
should be Governor for two years longer;
they found that the policy be was pursn.
ing, was taking him down bill, and that
if be did not get into new position. be
was lost. The result was. this invitation
to speak, and bis reply. l-
But the worst feature in the whole mat.
ter is. that the men who invited him, are
oil johnson men! johnson men exhibit.
ing such anxiety to place Gov. Crawford
on Radical platform. The game is too
transparent, and will do him more dam
age than il he had remained mum. Here
are the names attached to the call on the
Governor John c. Vaughan. editor Of
the Lsavenworth Times. the johnson
organ of Ksnsas: ". q. Insley, owner OF
the Lsarenworth Conservative. recently
bought up to run as johnson masked
battery; Ward Burlingame. editor of said
masked battery. and recently writer oI

thing else that Jim Lane wants him to
be; G. j. Hanks. brother. in-lsw ol
Dslshay. sni of course johnson man
T. A. Osborn. United State, Marshal.
and johnson man; Judge Robert Gro.
zier, johnson man. we'll bet; s. N
Latta, undoubtedly johnson man. from
the crowd he musters in; "and many
Others" who are all either johnson men,
OF call in your eye. This is the class
of men who set the Governor on Ridi.
cal platform, and then advertise him in
sensation style. as 8 model for Rail-
cal admiration and endorsement. 5a'
Somehow, there has been no doubt as to
the position of Sidney Clarke. Senator
Pomsroy. Judge Thscher. Julgs Bailey.
and old Republicans of that class. 1t tws,
not necessary for COMMITTEES Of johnson
men to smoke them out, and take charge
of their reputation. For our own part,
we are less satisfied with the Governor
now, than at any time within the last six
mouths. and regard his position as be-
ing far more doubtful AMI open to sus
picion than when be was playing mum.
