1t will, therefore, be seen that since
last year the Republican vote has fallen
off II, 200, while the Democratic vote has
increased 80 900 Since the last Cover
mor's election the Democratic vote has in
creased the enormous number OF nearly or
quite $4,000 votes. The Republicans,
therefore have been beaten not by their
voters absenting themselves from the cleo
ton, bat because 1900 of their number,
having become convinced that the Repub-
llcan policy on the negro and on the bonds
was wrong, deserted their standard, and
voted directly the Democrotic ticket,
which they had hitherto opposed. This
of itself made a change in the State Of 2S.-
600 votes, Or nearly two-thirds of the Re
publican majority of last year The re-
mainder Of the change was made up of the
young mcn-new votcrs-who almost
unanimously ranged themselves on the
Democratic side.

BEAUTIFUL Perturbation. Charles
Remelen, in speech recently delivered at
Columbus, Ohio, went into mathcmatic-
al demonstration Of the fact that the peo-
pie actually pay in the way of certain rev.
euues, annually the sum of nine hundred
and forty three millions, five hundred and
three thousand nine hundred and eighty
three dollars only three hundred and
ninety-six millions of which ever reach the
treasury of the United States; the balance
of over five hundred and iorty-seven and
a half millions is either consumed in prof
its, in the cost Of collection, or stolen by
the officials. That is radical iinanciering
a more unjust and villainous system OF
taxation was never conceived than that
through which our internal revenues are
levied and collected -Ncws

JUNCTION CITY, KANSAS, February q
\ man came into Salina, about fifty miles
west Of here, yesterday, and reports a
irightful massacre Of white men by the
Cheyenne Indians, near the head of Smoky
Hill river, a few days since, under the fol-
lowing circumstances: Wallace's train,
with seventy men, were in camp, and .
party of fourteen Indians came begging.
The teamsters refused to give them any
assistance; whereupon the Indians fired
upon them, but without effect. The team
sters returned the fire and killed eight In
dams. AT about 8 o'clock that night the
camp was surrounded by 1000 Indians,
who massacred fifty-nine out Of sixty three
men. The man that brought the news
had an arrowhead through his shoulder
and another wound on his hip. He claims
70 be one Of the four men that escaped.

REMOVAL OF CABINET OrFICERs.-Tla
bill to regulate the tenure of civil offices,
with the amendment including Cabinet
officers in its provisions, wa Immediately
sent to the Senate, when Mr.. Trumbull
advocated concurrence. in the amendment,
and insisted on the right of the Senate to
dictate his confidential advisers to the
President. Mr.. Edmunds earnestly op-
posed this, and characterizing the action
of the House as |" passionate" said the
Senate should have too much dignity to
follow the win Of the House in the heat Of
the moment. From the tone Of the Senate,
however, it was evident that the. advice Of
Mr.. Edmunds and Mr.. Fessenden to act
calmly will avail nothing against the tor.
rent of feeling now setting against the
President.
On a former occasion the Senate, by q
vote of twcnty-seven to fifteen, acknow-
kdged the justice Of allowing the Presi-
dent to use his own discretion in the selec-
ton of his confidential advisers. The fiji
teen are now, however, reinforced by Mr..
Trumbull, the two Kansas senators, and
other extreme Radicals, who were then at
home looking after reelection, and have
brought over to their way Of thinking
some of the weakened of the majority
against them, so that there is little doubt
that when the vote is taken again this pro-
position will be acceded to and engrafted
on the bill.-Sun.

PRESIDENT J~onYsoN's PLAN OF RECON

PRESIDENT JoHNsoN's PLAN OF Recon-
srRUcTIoN.-The New York Evening Post
(Radical) of Saturday last contains a long
leading editorial upon the different plans
of reconstruction, and, on the whole, gives
the preference to the Presidents, as fol-
lows:
"This plan was to admit to a seat in
Congress every person bearing the certi-
ficate of the Governor of q southern State
who should prove acceptable to the House
in which he claimed a seat as a loyal man,
and who was able to take the oaths.
"This plan of admitting loyal represen-
~tatives would nave entirely excluded from
Congress the rebel leaders,; but would
have at once, and, as we believe, without
danger to any worthy interest Of the coun-
try, set the whole machinery in civil go
vernment regularly going. 1t would have
encouraged and rewarded loyalty in the
southern States, and would have affixed a
stigma upon treason and rebellion. 1t
would have silenced complaints and dis
armed p~rejudices in the South, for it said
to the people ELECT whom you choose !;
your States are fully reconstructed but
each House of Congress has express power,
under the Constitution, to judge of the
election and qualifications of its mem
berS.'"
