The rebels complain that they are de-
MED the right to make their own laws,
and of administering them by their cho-
sen leaders. What would intelligent
men think of the prisoners in our c0un-
ty Jail denouncing our County Commits
sioners for not permitting them to Sc
lect their own jailor? And yet this is
the complaint of the rebels. They vio-
lated all law, destroyed millions of pub
lie and private property, murdered
thousands upon thousands of law-abid-
ing citizens, make their crimes their
chief boast, and wear their bloody es-
cutcheon as their most honorable insig-
MIA, and yet demand the right to gov
ern the very people upon whom they
have perpetrated the most internal out
RACES that were ever committed upon a
people. And the most damning feature
of their insOlence is that they truthfully
boast that the Democracy of the North
sustain them, and are their main reli-
ance.-Dayt0H (O.) Journal.

Tie rebels have commenced open re-
bellion in Arkansas. Three of the State
Senators were shot, one of them killed,
and the civil court broken up. Three
hundred of them fully armed, were car
rying all before them. Gov. Clayton
went to the scene and quelled the insur-
rection. This makes five senator's whose
lives have been attempted in two weeks.
A. NJ. Johnson, representative, was shot
dead on the way from his house to the
river to hail steamer to take his fami-
ly north. Thus have the rebels renew
cd the war in the interest of Seymour
and Blair.

BUsINEss.-We received a call this
week from couple of gentlemen who
have been travelling all over the State of
Kansas and Western Missouri and they
say that Emporia is the livest town i'll
the State-more business done here-a
better class of buildings-morea ccomo-
dating business men than anywhere else
in the West, as compared with towns OF
like size that we have better lands, bet
ter farm houses, finer stock and more
fruit than any other part of the State.
This is what we hear almost every week
from Eastern men hunting homes among
us. These are facts that any one cal
observe.

A scouting party has been organized
by the Government, at Fort Harker, OF
one hundred experienced frontiers men,
who are to keep the Government ad-
vised of the whereabouts and move
ments of the Indians. They left here
on Thursday morning for the field of
operations. They are well armed and
mounted, and if not restricted by Or
ders, many an Indian will cea Sc to exist.
We believe this is one of the best move
ments that could have been made, and
if the Government takes advantage of
the knowledge thus gained, the Indians
can be subdued and placed on their res
erVatiOns.-E2ksacor AdcOcQte.

There has been added to the perma-
nent school fund of the State, since JAN
uary last, 100000. Of this amount, Co.
600 is invested in State bonds, bearing
interest at the rate of 6 and Z per cent.
per annum, and $4,000 in 500 United
States bonds. The total amount of the
permanent school fund is now nearly
100000, and it is constantly increasing,
This is magnificent endowment foI

ably with that of the most wealthy
State in the Union. Our school system
is in its infancy, as yet, but promises in
time to be equal, if not superior, to that
of any other. State.

A CARD.
To trhona 1t man co1lcer.,,

To tcItom 1T may concern.
When accepted the Recommendation
of the State Teachers Association for
the State Superintendency, this was done
with the understanding that Mr.. McVic-
ar's declination was firm and final. How
ever, feeling that he was really the first
choice of the Convention, had the hon.
or of offering the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
"Resotred, That we regard the Hon.
z. McVicar as a Christian scholar and
gentleman, and an officer of great abil-
ity and worth ; and that, with due re.
spect to his sacred Office, we greatly re-
greet his withdrawal from his present
field of labor"
Within the past day or two, it ha:
transpired that Mr., McVicar will con
sent to a denomination, if the people o.
the State SO desire it; and therefore
with thanks to Kind friends, cheerful
ly withdraw from the field, assured tina
his reelection will best promote the in
terests of education in Kansas.

CoNIMENDABLE ACTION The man
ager of the famous Tha1ia Theater, in
Hamburg, has published card, in
which occurs the following passage:
The Thalia Theater will not risk its
well earned reputation as one of the
foremost German dramatic institutions
by pandering to the vicious taste which
from Paris, threatens to invade the the
aters of all countries. Obscene plays
deriving all their Importance from ex-
posing female forms to the gaze nf pru-
rlent curiosity, viii not be performed
at this theater. Authors who arr infa-
nous enough to write such plays, pub.
llsners who are mean enough to issue
them, and actresses who are shameless
enough to make the leading roles in
such plays specialties, need not apply to
us, we do not want to have anything tC
do with them.

The Commercial has long and fiat
tering notice of w. II. Wagstaff, the
Democratic nominee for Supreme Judge
of the State, 1t is universally acknowl-
edged that Wagstaff is the man who
threatened to shoot stranger because
he was the uglier man Of the two; to
which threat, as the story goes, the
stranger promptly replied, ''Shoot, man,
and shoot darn quick for if I'm uglier
than you, damn me if want to live"
General Lane used to declare that ''Wag''
was one of the most industrious men
he ever knew. "He spends all the morn
ing" said the Grim Chieftain, son dry
goods box (whittling shingle) on the
north side of the street, and he occupies
the afternoon by whiting single ON
the south side of the street, ON another
dry goods box"
Notwithstanding these marked char
acteristics, Mr.. Wagstaff failed to be
elected Governor, just as he will fail to
be elected Supreme Judge.-Leacen-

THE VOICE OF VERMONT.

The glorious principles of Republi-
canism. made still more grand and sa-
cred by the proud and unparalleled sac
rifices of christian people, have again
been sanctioned in tones of deepning
thunder from the green and lofty peaks
of Vermont. Her election for Govern
or, Congressman and lesser State officers
was held on the LIST instant, and the word
is that the party of freedom and justice
has triumphed over the rebels, copper
heads, pirates and guerrillas by major
ity of about 10000. Their Majority last
year was 20,104. Beautiful, intelligent
Vermont! how nobly, periodically and
faithfully her sons have stood up for the
honor of the country and the memory
of her dead! We have been told by
the democratic" speakers and press
that no crime was perpetrated against
the constitution and the government by
the act of secession and rebellion, and
that therefore rebels arc entitled to seats
in our legislative halls, and that cop
perhead sympathiser with secession
should be elevated to the high Office OF
President of the United States.
But what docs Vermont say? Why
she declares that they SHOULD take g
back seat in the work of restoration
That ''the man who gave his influence
and his means TO destroy the govern
ment" shall not participate in the grea
work of reorganization" nor be permit
ted to control "the destines" of the ma
ton. That the loyalty of the land shall
rule it. That sail the glorious victorie
won by our noble armies" will not 'Hgt
for naught." That ''all the battlefield
which have been sown with dead heroe
during the rebellion will" not "hav
been made memorable in vain" Tha
tile rebel leader forfeited his right +
vote with loyal men when he renounc
ed his citizenship and sought to dcstro
our Government" and shall not be re
stored to it again until he ceases to ell
courage the traitors, who were conquer
ed on the battlefield, in their fiendis
work of numbering and expressing me
and women because of their devotio
to free Government and equal right
before the law.

IMPORTANT MOYEMENT.-One of the
most significant indications of the times,
is the action last week, of the leading
dry goods merchants of New York.
Remembering their disastrous losses in
the South, at the beginning of the re-
bellion in 1S60-61, they have determin-
ed not to be caught again in a similar
manner, and believing that the Confed-
crate Democracy intend to precipitate
the Nation into another war, they de-
termined that they would sell no goods
hereafter to Southern merchants except
ing for cash. This is a striking COM
mentary on the Democratic platform
and we are inclined to believe that il
will exert a wholesome influence upon
the honorable gentlemen who have bro
ken their parole so soon.

SEPTEMBER SESSION.

The Republican Congressional Com
mittee is in receipt of many letters,
principally from the South, with refer
ence to the session of Congress this
month. The State Republican Commit
tees, and nearly all the members of Con-
gress from that section, favor it. From
other quarters there is earnest opposi-
ton, owing to the near approach of the
Presidential election, and the engage
ments of members of Congress to speak
during the canvass, and because they
deem it inexpedient. There has been
no direct expression on the subject from
Senator Morgan or Representative
Schenck, whose recommendation is to
determine the question. The impress
ion is that there will be no session in
SeDtember

worth securing was that condition un-

roof-tree, and wear his old blue coat
when he went out to his tolls, and yet
no one would dare to harm hair of his
loyal head"

The threatenings of war and blood
that have been rife since the publication
of General Blair's Broadhead letter and
its Endorsement by the Democratic Ma
tional convention, are rapidly fusing all
the Conservative clements with the Re-
publican party. The Cincinnati Com
mercial contains this gratifying an.
nouncement:
E"The entire johnson party in this
county has gone over to Grant and Cox
fax and the organ of the party. the No
tiOnGL Union, defines its position as a
Republican sheet"
The National Union, in raising the
standard for Grant and Colfax, says:
eve have endeavored since we resur.
rected the National Union, to observe
strict impartiality in regard to politi-
cal matters, but confess that we are un-
able longer to do SO. We look upon the
present campaign as only the war be-
tween the North and South renewed
Rebel generals assure us that the lost
cause is triumphant in the asccndancy
of the Democracy, We opposed the
South during the war, and we cannot
affiliate with rebels now who declare
they are only laboring for the triumph
of the South over the North, and to
undo all that four years terrible wal
accomplished. We can never affiliate
with such men as Brick Pomerey and
Wade Hampton, representative types OF
Northern traitors and Southern rebels.
We do not fight with Frank Blair in his
proposed revolutionary project. Hence
forth we battle with Grant and Colfax,
but shall always speak our mind freely
concerning, all political parties. We are
neither hide-bound nor party-bound,
but shall ever be found advocating those
men and measures which we believe
tend to promote the interests of the en-
tire country"
This is the sentiment of thousands
upon thousands of Conservatives all
over the country. They viii vote foI
Grant and Colfax.

suffrage.
