re Sol. Miller. of the White Cloud
Chief. complains that immigration seeks
the lines OF railroad. and that Doniphan
country don't. having no railro al, get its
share. Laurence Tribune.
We have several times, in urging upon
our people the Importance and necessity
of building railroads. mentioned the fact
that on immense emigration was pouring
into other parts of the State. where rail-
roads were building. or were certain soon
to be built. while our own County. the
very best in the State, was receiving but
few scattering additions to her popula-
ton. As often as we have done this. the
Tribune has remarked that We have
"complained." or that we are jealous Of
the prosperity Of other portions Of The
State. We cannot see wherein our efforts
to arouse the people of Douiphan to en-
terprises that will secure them equal ad-
vantages and prosperity to other parts of
the State. partake of the nature either Of
complaining or envy.

NJ. Eskridge's letter will be found in
another column. We wish to mske re-
marks upon several points suggested by it.
We suppose the charge that he assisted
Sam. Medsry in endssvoring to organize
the Democratic party, is not true. Bot
we had heard. few years since. from
What source we cannot now rem smbef.
fuo, from Sam. Wood. we are sure.
tbs. Eskridge was rsther favorite with
some of the Pro-Slavsry Territorial ofi-
ci.l,. aud was the recipient of little favors
At their hands. However, we do not
think Medary was of the number-we are
under the impression that Secretary
Walsh was the main one. Eskridge says
he held no positions. until the Free State
party obtained control of the Territory
The Free State party never had control
of the Federal Offices Of Kansas Territory,
and it was through them that sll lucrative
Offices we're dispensed-tuch as Deputy
Clerks Of the District Court. etc. Wheth-
er he pretended Democracy or not. we are
inclined to the opinion that he was on
ficieutly friendly terms with the Pro-
Slavery officers to obtain paying positions
from them. and that he did not receive
them in consequences of Free State ascen-
dancy in local politics. "
We beg leave to assure MIR. Eskridge,
that we do not ceusure him nor any other
man for opposing female suffrage. They
have that right. the same IS we have to
favor it: and many of the very best men
in the State oppose it. The only thing
we have censured the opponents for, il
the abusive manner in which they enter
into their work. Mr.. Eskridge, in bis
first epistle on the question. abused. black
guarded. and DETAINED women because they
advocate and demand female suffrags-
women whose characters are above re-
proach. He has not been alone in this,
but many other prominent opponents o.
the question have been almost as bad,
This is what we censure them for, and
this only. -. taa
Lastly: We have denounced Sam
Wood as often and as severely'as almo.l
any other paper in tbe State; but if wt
believe q question to be right and just
we are not going to be SO childish as te
oppose it because Sam. Wood or some
other person whom we don't fancy in al
respects favors it. II We were informed
from some authentic source. that Sam
Wood was going to Heaven. we would
not alter our intention Of going there in
consequence. a er-a-

MIR. Downard's Defence.

MIR. Downardl's Defence.
We this week print a communication
from Mr.. Dowuard, one OF the Deputy
Assessors. in reply to statements recently
made by us. 1t disproves nothing we
have asserted. The person to whom Mr..
Downsrd opened his heart on County
Seat matters "slill lives" and sticks to
what be told Us. Our statement was sub
s,antislly as be gave it. II we made any
e'rors. they were in unimportsnt particu'
lars-the substance was in the main cor
rect.
Everything we asserted in reference to
the miserable assessment. is admitted in
the communication. A large property
owner in this Township was omitted. 1t
is claimed that mistake was made in
the name. Does that hold the proper
person for the tax? Many persons in
this part of the County have told us that
they we're not called upon, as the law pro-
vides and we are OF the opinion that
there is on immense amount of property
no, assessed, or else made mp from the
old list. The omissions in Troy, MIR.
Downard says. were the fault of the prop
erty owners themselves. In such cases.
does not the law prescribe the Assessors
duty, and render him liable. after all :?
But, it is stated, the corrections wi! all
be made by the first of August. That
may answer for the enumeration of adults;
but in the matter of assessme ents, how can
the law be fulfilled. and Justice done I?
The lists are required to be completed. BY
the FIRST Monday in July. at which time
the County Board of Equalization sits.
The County Clerk is required to make q
complete return to the State Board, before
the first of August. All property not ss-
sessed before that time. must be omitted
from this return. The County Board
met in July. as required. and appointed
an adjourned meeting in August. If the
assessment is completed in time for the
Clerk to send it to the Capital, still the
owners Of property assessed after the July
meeting. win have no chance to be heard
before the Board of Equalization or il
they do. and changes are allowed, the
Clerks books will not correspond with
the statement sent to the State Board.
Mr.. Downward offers nothing relative to
the illegal manner Of the appointment Of
Deputy Assessors /; their neglect to give
bond. as required by law; and the fail
ure to make osth to the lists. These are
matters of no small importance.
We care nothing about the simple fact
of the Assessor and his Deputies being
Wathena men. As they live there, they
would have shown themselves rather
scaly citizens. had they not stood up for
the town. But we entertain q uretty
thoroughly settled notion. that the County
Seat business is what caused the misera-
BILE bungle in the assessment; and that.
had not this question interfered, we would
have had much better assessment.
