TEMPERANCE LAW.

One OF the aims of the recent German
demonstration in this State is to strike
for a repeal of the excellent temperance
law passed last winter by our Legislature.
We are in favor Of the Germans aud every
other class OF our citizsns, having the
largest liberty consistent with the public
good, but we certainly would regard the
repeal of that law public calamity.
Kansas has taken an advanced and noble
stand in temperance and educational mat
ters, and we do not want to see her take a
backward step. That law, it is true,
amounts to prohibition in every snlight-
ensd community, but we had rather sea
entire and absolute prohibition than tc
see our fair villages filed with Whiskey
shops. The delegations from our larger
cities will undoubtedly go TO the Legis-
hturs the coming winter with the expec
tation of repeating that law. but We hope
the country people will be Vigilant enough
to see that no man is cent to The Lsgis-
la:u:s who will vote for the repeal of that
law.

OUR STATE TREASURY.

4 lot Of scurrilous articles appeared in
ihst delectable copperhead sheet, the
Lsavea worth Cpmnir1itI, IA few days ago
charging our State Treasurer with all
sorts of dishonesty in the management OF
our State Finances. That paper stated
that Major Anderson had Withdrawn the
money of the State from New York, in
violation of law. and deposited it in the
National Bank at Topeka, and that he
could not get the funds from that bank,
etc. TIL ese were serious charges, and
we'll calculated 10 alarm people who we're
inclined to put any confidence in copper
head sensation literature on the eve of an
important election. They could not see
why that paper should circulate such
bare, faced lies and SANDER, unless there
was some foundation for its statements.
To the charges of the Commercial, Major
Anderson replies, through the ConserVa-
tive, positively denying the charges, and
defying proof of them. He says he can,
at any moment. count down every cent OF
the States funds, and makes satisfac-
tory defence of his official action. The
State Treasury, we are fully satisfied. is
al right; at least we shall want better evil
dence of crime in its management, than
comes from such source as the Lsav
euWorth Commercial.

Cold BIooded Murder.

An atrocious murder was committed
north of Onion creek, in Usage county,
near The line between Osage and Ii on
counties, on Saturday evening or Sunday
morning last. The name of the murdered
mao was Smalley, and The murderer went
by the name of Andrew Bell, OF rather he
is the supposed murderer. Mr.. Smallsy
had been herdiDg cattle for Mr.. Mason.
on Walnut, for about two years, aud t
seems he and Bell were travelling toward
Lawrence together. They stopped here
few days last week, at the Emporia
House. Mr.. S. having the ague. On FIJI.

A FEW REASONS WHY SAM WOOD
SHOULD BE DEFEATED.


We devote some space. this week, TO
matters in the Ninth Judicial District.
We have something over two hundred
subscribers in that district, and we leel
an interest in their welfare. We have
given some reasons why they should de-
feat Sam Wood on the 9Th of November
snd We propose to give others below.
His opponent, William R. Brown, Is
better lawyer than Wood. Wood has
more low cunning, and can beat Brown
on tricks, and is better Pe;tifogger; Sam
cabs Mr.. Brown, lawyers clerk in his
miserable apology for a newspaper. We
say to the people of the Ninth district that
Mr. Brown Is good lawyer, so regarded
by nearly all the attorneys here. and by
the people. Judge Ruggles' testimony
on this matter is published elsewhere,
Wood never had any reputation at the
bar, 0 her than as the meanest kind of a
psttifogger.
Wood is no! man the people can trus
or build up. He will always betray their
interests for his owe aggraudiz -ment. H
has always done this, aud will do it again
if the people place tho power in his hands.
He has teen several times in the Legisla-
lure, and what has be done for Lis dis
,ric'? Nothing. He has steadily worked
for himself. He CT Gated the Ninth Dis
trict on purpose to get himself into a
salary of fifteen hundred dollars year,
thus increasing the taxes of the people
that much without the least correspond
iOg benefit.
Again. his policy. politically, is to crush
every man out of political existence whom
he cannot use. He has lied about and
slandered every man in that district who
re used to be his tool. The people ough
never to support man who tries to builc
himself up on other mems ruins.
He is entirely unreliable politically
One year we find him acting with tb'
democrats and the next with some othe
party. 1t Las been only little over
year since he was strong supporter o
Andrew Johnson. He only deserted thu
President when he found it was his owl
interest to do so.
For these reasons and many more whici
we might mention, we hope the Mint
District will bury him politically on tn
5th OF November.

MCMILLAN VS.. WOOD.

We have letter from David Mcmillan,
giving a someWhat detailed account of
the recent difficulty between himself and
Judge Wood. at Cottonwood Falls. We
have not room for the entire letter but will
give the facts as related By Mr.. Mcmillan.
He is constrained to make this explana
ton of the affair, as a one sided and un-
truthful account appeared in the Chase
County Banner. edited by Wood.
MI NJ lad been to Emporia, and was
returning 10 his home above Cottonwood
Falls. when he was assaulted by the dig
niied Judge. He says: Il entered the
store where the post Office is kept. for the
purpose Of hastily writing TWO letters on
urgent business. Had just commenced
when the Judge of our Judicial district
entered, clustering and storming. The
first that attracted my attention was the
expression ugh! leel as though l want
ed to fight. o, have got the chills; l
think a fight would do me good" l
glanced at him, and knew at once the
cause of his scLion-that it was 6endish
rage. lie shook his fists and swung his
arms al furious rate. repeating that he
wanted to fight. / finished my writing
aud wei out to look for the mail carrier.
The wretch followed and called me few
PAGES back frem the crowd, TO speak TO
me: commenced about our private bust
ness; l told him it could not be settled so
long as he denied taking a large amount
of our cattle from Aubury and converting
them 10 his own use; he said it was a
damn lie.'' l told him had the living
proof OF it. He swore terribly again that
1t was lie; then asked me why did not
prove it. I told him had lost enough
already, and that it would be of no use to
be at the trouble to prove it, for ne own
e1 nothing. IN his own name, and l there
fore would get nothing of him. He then
turned the subject by asking me what
said about Miss Bisbee. l told him
had said that leaving all acquaintances,
going into a strange part and travelling
with such men as him, night and daV, did
not indicate a good c. arac;er. He swore
terribly at me. and said l must take that
back. told him l never should. He
then grabbed up a rock and said be
would b. at out my God damned brains. u
He strnck me on the head several times
with his rock, and continued on until the
crowd seized The ru[fan aud held him.
Il have drawn up this to show the at
Fiction this community labOrs under in
having such a man high In Office. May
God deliver US from all such officials.
"What | said about Miss Bisbee is tie
common talk and feeling of this commu-
nifty, and can bring hundreds who will
and have said the same. but the public
will recolect that il was Sam Wood who
slandered Miss Bisbee by riding all over
the country with her, and not US. We
only took exception TO such conduct. and
why does not San assault all who talk
lhus ? Why, he is too much OF coward
He knew that l., in addi ion TO being
among the oldest men in this section, had
not had even bodily ability TO labor for
six years past. So he mustered pluck
enough to attack M, but Miss Bisbee was
not tie real cause. All may easily see
what that was. D. MCMILLAN"

A FALsEHoOD.

Sam Wood is telling the people OF the
n nth District that Mr. Brown Is not ell
ligible to the offics of Judge Of The dis
trict-that he cannot hold the Office if
elected. This is one of Sans election
eering falsehoods. Mr.. Brown is just as
eligible as Wood. in the eyes of the law.
The constitution says a man must be a
resident Of the State six months, and Of
the precinct thirty Lays. He is then a
voter and eligible to office. This is the
ruth. People should be careful bow
they believe any state ents made By
Wood on The eve Of an election.

ton at Junction City from the Lawrence
Tribune and Leavenworth Conservative.
On this page we republsh at the request
of many readers, the contract for the build
ing of the road.
We feel, now, that there can be no
possible doubt about the immediate proc
ecution Of this great work. It's construc-
zion is to be commenced at once, and the
EOen who have taken the contract have the
uOOey to put it through. There is big
speculation in its rich franchises, which
will be made available as fast as the work
j. done. TIE Inducements to the con-
tractors are such as will hurry them with
their work. The new Pennsylvania par

work are among the heaviest capitalists
in the United States, and they are enlhu-
siasiic in their confidence in the courtry
