Advantage ~ TIVE Sides.
Itis good thing that stories have
two sides to them. Were it not 90. The
editor of the Atchisou Champion would
have m.ds the country believe that Andy
johnson. after his Infamous Inauguration
drunk. wss slandersd angel and would
hsvs had Kansas to day tied neck and
heels to Johnsonism and its policy. The
Chsmpion's last Samsritsn effort il
wbits-wssbing the character Of l. 8. Kali
Ioch. upon the evidence. it says. Of .
prominent Bsptist-wbich said promi-
nsnt Bsptist. it forgets to say. is Reverend
I. 8. Kalloch. Here is the pith Of the
romance:
Yssra ago Mr.. Kslloeh WAS the victim
Of foul and wicked persecution. origin
stsd BY men jealous Of bis popularity and
position. Investigation. thorough and
rigid. proved the fslsity of the charges
made against him. and IN impartial CON.
mittee. appointed BY the denomination
to which be belonged. acquitted him Of
oil fault. He continued. for two years
thereafter, 70 preach to the largest con-
gregstions eyer gathered together insBos,
ton. Atx5e ebd Of this tins he was sent
to Kansas by the Home Missionary So
cisty of the Bsptists. to revive the droop-
ing cause Of thst denomination in this
State. He brought with him, on leaving
Boston. letters from every prominent
clergyman in the Baptist denomination
in the State of Massachusetts,. certifying
to bis eminent character aud good stand.
ing as Christian minister. He contin-
ued to labor in this State for some time.
and rendered efficient and valuable servi-
COS to the Church with which be was
connected. But finding his lsbors still
impaired by the slsnders and insinuations
Of hsbitusl traducers. be resigned bis min
istry and engaged in another bushes.
The other side Of the story would read
something like this /: K.lloch's Boston
church was very wealthy and sristo.
crstic-in fact, the church edifce was
called q Temple. Kslloch could not
suppress bis "manhood," bat "went for
the mutton" :" was detected. and exposed.
and the church could not help bringing
him to trial. Here was . dilemma
Kalloch was young. talented. not bad
looking. and was the pride Of the sisters
His victims were Of the common run''
Of members, and i. would not do to de.
pend too much upon the word Of common
people. These common people went IN
der. and Kalloch was triumphantly vim
dicated. and kept in bis position. But
although they had crushed the evidenc'
Of common people. and pronounced Ksl'
loch guiltless. they could not silence pub
lie opinion and after two years uphill
work. they were compelled to let bin
slids-and be Slid. That prominent
Baptist forgot to tell the editor of th,
Champion how many of the men who ss
on Kalloch's case and cleared him, hav,
since eloped with other mems wives, em.
bezzled their thousands and Aed to for.
eigu countries, or been sent to the peni-
tentiary for forgery.
As the Champion says. Kslloch's
character followed him to Kansas, and be
couldn't make it pay us preacher; be
therefore abandoned the ministry. and
went into other business-that of politics.
he was destitute of moral reputation.
therefore Kansas politics was his natural
sphere. and the Republican party would
adopt him. and make great man of him!
The Champion has undertaken to engin-
Ger him through. but will meet with about
% good success o. it did in cramming An
dy johnson in to our people.
