MARION COUNTY.

We received call from A. e. Case

forms us Governor Crawford is now
there, to assist in the organization of
the Indian companies. Fifteen recruits
have been raised at Marion Center.
Politics are running high, the two par
ties being almost equally divided. Re-
publican speakers are needed in Marion
county badly. We hope some of our
speakers viii canvass that county. No
meetings are appointed by the State
Central Committee for that or Butler
counties, and but one for Morris coun-
ty, all three of which the Democats ex-
pect to carry. We hope the Central
Committee will attend to these coun-
ties in future appointments.

65TH DiSTEICT.

The Republicans Of Elmendaro, Jack
son and Waterloo townships composing
the 65th Representative district, met
in delegate convention at Neosho Rap
ids, but adjourned without making any
nomination. 1t seems they could not
agree. The result is that there will
probably be three candidates, one from
each of the townships. Oliver Phillips,
of Waterloo, and S. G. Britton, of FL
mendaro, are announced this week, and
we understand Jackson viii bring out a
candidate.

A writer in the Topeka Leader, COM
menting upon the attempt of few
friends of Female Suffrage to nominate
a candidate against Mr.. Eskridge, has
the following:
Everybody knows that Republican,
ism and personal character were the
only tests applied by the late State Con-
vention, and no one who has any bust
ness outside of an asylum thinks that
any other should have been demanded.
The special ire of the madcaps has been
evoked by the nomination of Mr.. Esk-
ridge for Lieutenant Governor. We
confess that we like Eskridge, and that
we are particularly pleased with his
nomination. We know him to be an
able man, abundantly qualified for the
position. Besides, he is the representa-
tive of populous, a radical, and q
growing section of the State, and as
such his nomination was peculiarly ap-
propriate.
Mr.. Eskridge's crime is that he op-
posed Female Sufrage-opposed, it
openly, honestly and ably. If he is to
be tabooed for that, what is to become
of the ten thousand majority by which
he was sustained? But he is not ode
cent" not respectable" say they'll 1t
appears that, in the agonies of epistoIa.
ry composition, Mr.. Eskridge made use
of the unclassical and ambiguous term
''elm-pellers," and applied it to the
motley array of feminine orators, who
had been imported. for the purpose of
inducing Kansas to try an experiment
which no other State would think of
for a moment. Had Mr.. Eskridge
chosen to devote little more time to
the subject, we think he might have hit
upon happier word than Eelm-DeeI-
ers." Nobody knows what he meant
by it, and we venture to say that he
himself could not furnish a satisfactory
explanation. The baffied curiosity of
our female friends may have been the
occasion of their anger"

CONVICTION DOUBTFUL.

NJ Halstead, edtor-in,chief Of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes to his
paper from Washington his impressions
in regard to the resat Of the impeachment
trial He says
After talking will a considerable mum
Der OF persons, well informed from the
highest sources OF intelligence, and looking
upon one days proceedings of the court of
Impeachment, | am no quite sure that tn e
President will be convicted All violent
partisans assert it without qualification.
The Copperheads desire that we should
understand that the Radicals will commit
any outrage. and that all Republicans are
Radicals. The Radicals themselves as
sumo that the Presidents guilt has been
proven absolutely, and that the Senate
would be stulti6ed if il did not convict him.
remove him from Office and disqualify him
from holding Office.
There are moderate men, however, who
do not hold that the conviction of the
President is demanded by an imperious
public necessity, or that his conviction
would be an unpardonable public outrage.
and who do not think that his conviction is
a predetermined TACT
Not more than one-third Of the Senators
are through thick and thin Radicals. A
larger number than had supposed of the
Republicans have declined 10 class then-
selves by all their votos as implacable i'm
peachers. And / believe the President
would be acquitted were il not for the fesr
that if turned loose he would be guilty Of
some dangerous freak tie is supposed to
be capable Of anything but an act of timely
discretion, and if he is turned out of Office
he will owe it 90 his reputation as an IN
certain quantity and a quarrelsome person.
II il were believed that She President would
quit his foolery with Lorenzo Thomas, and
withdraw the appointment of Thomas Ew-
ing, ST., az Secretary Of War, and appoint
Gen. Banks or Gov. Cox, or some other
competent and reliable man 10 that posi-
lion, | anu as sure as one can be without
the proof that be would be acquitted As
the case stands he has a chance of acquitisl.
That the impeachment business has been
overdone here is the opinion of the Judi
cious. That the evidence presented by the
managers was the reverse OF strong and

nit. That the country is net enamored Of

A number of frauds have been reported

city we have polled large majority for the
Constitution and for the Republican can
didates, but as the Commissioners of Elec-
ton are in most instances noted Rebels,
fraud is being resorted to in counting the
ballots, which will greatly reduce our legal

10000 majority for the Constitution.
